Franklin meticulously conducted his analysis, ensuring the thoroughness required to determine the truth behind Beautrice's death. His focus was suddenly interrupted by the insistent ring of his phone, flashing an unfamiliar number on the screen."Hello?" Franklin answered."Ah, Franklin," a cryptic voice greeted him from the other end."Who is this?" Franklin's inquired."No need for formalities, Franklin. I'm well aware of your role as the forensic detective assigned to the case of Beautrice Morgan's untimely death," the voice replied."Yes, that's correct. Do you have information relevant to the investigation?" Franklin decided to ask."Not quite, Franklin. I'm here to offer you a piece of advice: withhold your findings," the voice urged, its sinister intent palpable."And why would I entertain such a suggestion?" Franklin asked."Because, Franklin, failure to comply will result in dire consequences. You have precisely one hour to hand over your analysis, or you'll bid farewell to y

"Hello, Prime Minister," James greeted as he held his mobile phone to his ear."Hello, Mr. Richmond," Prime Minister Raj Ranauk replied. "So, did your son agree to marry my daughter?" he inquired."Yes, Prime Minister. The marriage between Alex and Mirai will proceed as planned," James confirmed."I hope it won't end up like it did with your nephew Dexter," Prime Minister Raj Ranauk remarked, referencing the previous incident involving Dexter and Richard in India."Not at all, Prime Minister. You have my word. This marriage is happening for sure this time around. First thing tomorrow, Alex and I will be coming to India to perform the marriage rites," James assured him."Alright, Mr Richmond. I'll be expecting you and your son." Prime minister Raj Ranauk said before dropping the call.The following day, James and Alex arrived at the airport bright and early, ready to catch the first flight to India. The marriage between Alex and Mira was at the Prime Minister's request before he became

After the first hearing of Beautrice's death in the court, Richard found himself in a tight spot. The evidence stacked against him were so convincing, pointing to him as the murderer, especially with his fingerprints discovered on the dagger which was used to carry out the cold blooded murder. He couldn't wrap his head around how they got there.His lawyer, sensing the gravity of the situation, probed, "Is there anything, Richard, anything at all that might shed light on your innocence? Any detail, no matter how small?"Richard shook his head in frustration, "I wish I knew. But that morning, when the police showed up, it was like waking up in a fog. Something felt off, but I couldn't put my finger on it. I really wish I could remember but I can't."His lawyer furrowed his brow, contemplating Richard's words. It was a puzzle they needed to solve, and time was running out. The second hearing had been scheduled to take place the following week and if they don't get enough evidence to prov

Franklin hailed a cab to meet up with Dexter. Dexter had just finished speaking with the chief on the phone, who had informed him about the possibility of Sarah being involved in Beautrice's death."You called for me," Franklin said, stepping into Dexter's office."Yes, Franklin. Why are you doing this? Why are you making Richard suffer?" Dexter inquired, his expression grave."What do you mean? How am I making Richard suffer?" Franklin questioned, confusion evident in his voice."Why was Richard suddenly the prime suspect in Beautrice's death?" Dexter pressed."Because his fingerprints were found all over the dagger that was used in the murder," Franklin replied, his tone defensive."But it's possible for there to be multiple fingerprints on a weapon. Why were you so quick to pin it on Richard?" Dexter probed further, suspicion creeping into his voice.Franklin wasn't prepared to offer any explanations. The safety of his wife and son was still at stake, with their abductors promising

One of the police officers came out with the tape recording that Flynn had installed without Jack's and Franklin's knowledge."We found this," the officer said handing over the small device to the chief. The chief pressed a button and the recorded conversation that took place the whole time that Flynn was in the laboratory played to his hearing."Hey, Dexter, there's something I want you to listen to," the chief called out to him. All efforts to speak with Sonia had proved futile as she wasn't ready to listen to him. He had to go to the chief to hear what it was that he wanted him to hear.The chief played the recording and as Dexter listened, a feeling of guilt washed over him. He couldn't believe Flynn had gone to such extent to prove Richard's innocence. The voice recording was enough evidence to prove that Richard wasn't the one who killed Beautrice."Now we know who killed Beautrice," the chief remarked as the recording came to an end."Yes we do," Dexter replied.
