A Moment in Destiny

Chapter 826 The Past

Here wasn’t the first crime scene.

Marcel looked at Rae again.

Rae didn’t say anything and was still blushing.

The corpse made everyone sigh as it wasn’t a pretty sight.

Being the same as woman, Rae felt upset and wanted the case to be cracked immediately.

“Captain Hopkins, I think both of these two cases are abnormal, the lower part of the bodies are naked and they wore red clothes.”

This reminded Rae of Philippa’s clothes last time, which Philippa also wearing red clothes as well.

Marcel Hopkins was startled for a moment, with his eyes deep. However, he didn’t say anything, lowering his head down and continued examining the corpse.

“That’s right! Both are red clothes! Is that coincidence or intention?” said Rae and Gustavo Wagner realized it.

“You all are good at discovering!” Marcel turned back and said, then continued examining the corpse.

Rae and Gustavo looked at each other, but didn’t dare to reply anymore.

He examined the corpse carefully without feeling disgusting and frowning. Although the corpse not wearing pants and having injuries at the intimate part, Marcel treated it like an exquisite craft without feeling awkward.

Gustavo asked, “Captain Hopkins, did you discover anything?”

“It’s just a habit,” Captain Hopkins answered but didn’t say what he had discovered.

“This situation has high similarity with that we found out two days before! I suspect it’s serial killing case!” said Gustavo again.

He said, “There was a sexual abuse case happening five years ago. I remembered my senior had mentioned that there was a twenty-year-old woman which was his previous colleague’s daughter, found dead at Western Suburbs of City B. She seemed to die due to drowning, but actually she was being sexually abused. The old policeman lost his family as his wife and son died due to road accident while her daughter died after twenty years. It’s so pitiful leaving him alone!”

At that time, Rae looked pale, watching the corpse lying on the ground.

The real Rae died of sexual abuse!

Even though Gustavo didn’t mention the name, she clearly knew that the old policeman was

her father, Kane Graham.

She imitated Rae five years ago until now, everyone only knew that the deceased was Natalie Graham. Everyone knew how pitiful Kane Graham was, but no one knew his plan.

Thing that made Rae feel even more upset was the real Rae was dead because of sexual abuse. She never knew and didn’t want Rae to die in this miserable way. No, that was Nat. Nat was the one died.

Marcel didn’t react to what Gustavo said. He seemed to be just frowned, but didn’t say anything.

The handsome face he owned looked even more sexy when he was deep in thought, and he even looked gorgeous.

Rae who was still thinking about her past, looked up and saw Marcel. This made her tremble suddenly.

“Gustavo, is the case solved?” Marcel said suddenly with a deep voice.

“Which case?” His sudden active made Gustavo shocked.

“The death case of the old policeman’s daughter!”

“Yes, the culprit had been executed by shooting many years ago. Oh, that girl studied in Public Security University. My senior said her name is Natalie Graham. She seemed to graduate from the same school with you.”

At the time he said, Rae looked up and looked at Marcel quickly.

Marcel just listened to him and didn’t show any expression.

Rae stared at Marcel and hoped to find out his emotion, but she could only see him showing some unconcerned and calm expression. She felt extremely disappointed.

He really forgot!

Rae felt cold at that moment.

She had hoped that Marcel could remember her slightly, even if when mentioning ‘Nat’, Marcel would say, “Oh, I remember that girl! She was my junior!” This one sentence would be satisfied.

At least he got some impression of her.

Yet he seemed to have forgotten completely.

Rae looked at his handsome face, reflected by the green mountain behind him. Her eyes were getting mistier, her face was gradually paler and her mood was getting worse.

Marcel was still examining the corpse seriously. Gustavo no longer said anything since he realized nobody was paying attention to him.

After examination, Marcel got up and took off his gloves, then said, “Let’s go back and talk about it.”

Rae was panicked. Marcel discovered her emotion, followed by his frown and impatient look.

Rae looked up and saw his frowned eyebrow again, then lowered her head slowly.

Were his eyes showing some impatience and unpleasant?

When she took a closer look again, it turned calm.

Could it be just hallucination?

Rae shook her head.

‘Was he thinking of me having a pale look because of being afraid of corpse?’ Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

Even if he was disgusted with me, he forgot ‘Nat’ totally. Who would remember Nat in this world? Who even knew the one died was Rae actually?

Rae felt even more upset and her face looked even paler.

After the corpse had been taken away, Gustavo thought that she was afraid of corpse and teased her, “What’s wrong with you, Rae? Isn’t you brave? Why you’re frightened?”

“I felt a little bit cruel!” said Rae softly.

“Then let’s solve the case quickly!” said Gustavo.

“Well!” Rae nodded. Meanwhile, she found that Marcel was looking at her with his sharp eyes.

Rae frowned and wondered how she had provoked him again. Maybe she was too sensible?

She was annoyed, then explained, “I’m not sensible usually!”

It was necessary to be calm whenever handling a case, but she was influenced by Rae’s death and Marcel, affecting her to become more sensible. In fact she had always been kind of sensible person. She sympathized with the deceased and hated the culprit.

“A person who is too sensible is not suitable to be a criminal police,” said Marcel viciously.

Rae didn’t answer. She found that the way he spoke was unpleasant.

Thus she just shut her mouth.

Marcel instructed her, “You’ll be in charge of determining the source of corpse, but clean the office first!”

Rae retorted, “Captain Hopkins, I think we should deal with the case first as it’s more important. Just in case this’s really serial killing case, we wouldn’t know what will happen next. We should identify the corpse first to solve the case quickly and stop obsessing with cleanliness for a while.”

Once she finished talking, she left hurriedly.

She started to raise doubts about his 100 percent detection rate.

Her good impression on him now became worse in her mind.

However, she didn’t know that Marcel watched her walking away and squinted his eyes. No one knew what he was thinking about.

She took analysis report at first after returning back to police station.

Marcel was waiting for the latest outcome.

Jaelyn Mack noticed Rae was mysterious and asked, “Which animal do you guess it is?”

Rae knew the result had been released, “Don’t tell me it is Tibetan Mastiff!”

“Don’t tarnish Tibetan Mastiff!”

“Then?”

“Guess it!”

“Pig!”

“Haha! Guess it again!”

“Cow!”

“Wrong!”

“Horse!”

“Wrong, but almost accurate!”

“What’s it actually?”

“It‘s donkey!”

“Ah?” Rae was stunned.

“Exactly true, I found it from the gene pool. It made me so tired after comparing throughout the whole morning.”

“It’s so incredible!” She couldn’t imagine how difficult it would be for human and donkey having sex.

She sent Marcel report to his office and saw him smoking near to the window. The cigarette smoke curled around him and his handsome face looked unclear within it.

Rae took a deep breath and said, “Captain Hopkins, the result is available with the previous report now. Please have a look.”

She was going to put it on the table.

“Wait!” Marcel stopped her and turned around.

Rae looked at him.

He asked Rae to hand it over to him.

Rae looked at his right hand, his slender fingers and his plump fingertips. His nails were neatly cut, clean and looked healthy.

She felt sad and lucky in the meantime as she could stay beside and work with him as Rae, even though he had forgotten.

She enjoyed these great times since nobody knew her real background, but she didn’t know how had Marcel and his girlfriend been. Did they get married?

Did they have their child?

Fine, just be new friend in the future.

She gave him the document, “Here it is!”

Then she was going to leave.

“How about cleaning my office?”

“Uh!” Rae stopped moving forward and felt hopeless.

“I thought you’re responsible!”

Rae then turned around, looking at the office that she had cleaned halfway this morning and continued her job right away.

“Hehe...” Marcel laughed presumptuously. His complacent smile made Rae so speechless, showing how childish he was.

“Well done, keep it up.” He smiled and said, “Captain Hopkins wouldn’t treat you badly!”

This made Rae speechless.

Rae knew she meant nothing to him, but she was glad that she could work with him. She really appreciated this golden chance.

Marcel finished reading the report, “I didn’t expect it’s a donkey!”

Rae who was mopping the floor felt awkward when she heard that. She had no ideas on discussing this abnormal case with her superior.

Hence, she didn’t say anything back.

“What do you think, Rae?” Marcel asked her again. He sat at the chairs she just cleaned, rotating his chairs, tilting his head and looking at her.

“Too hard, I do not understand!” Rae was still a naive girl, even if she had heard of adult movies from Japan, she never watched it before as her perception was limited to the knowledge she had learned in school.

“Yes, it’s quite hard!” Marcel said with his deep voice.

Rae was unwilling to discuss this case with him, so she mopped the floor hurriedly and prepared to leave once she had done.

Marcel said unexpectedly, “How is it done actually?”

Rae didn’t answer as she was shy and had absolutely no idea.

“Gather all of them to the meeting room now!” Marcel gave instruction suddenly.

“Yes!” Rae called them instantly!”

“Get one report each. We’ll have a discussion ten minutes later!”
