Chapter 836 No New Clue was Found


    “Rae, you all have always been upied!” In Raphael Gill’s mind, he had never seen Rae sitting idle.


    Rae became busier after she joined the criminal police team. She was getting busier and busier, even


    busier than him, the manager. He wondered what she was doing all the time.


    “Yeah, those are all the criminal cases, I am very busy now!” Rae chose a seat by the window.


    The waitress sent the menu to them, “What would you like to have?”


    Rae took the menu and put it at the front of Rae, “You take the order!”


    Rae just ignored the menu and took orders directly, “Please serve four dishes for us within 10 minutes


    and let the chef figure it out by themselves, I am short of time!”


    The waitress seemed to be used to that situation, he nodded and smiled, “There are some ready-made


    dishes. I will serve it for you right now! Do you need any drinks?”


    “No, thanks!”


    Just as the waitress walked away, Rae asked Raphael, “Why are you so free? I thought you have to


    spend timepanying your girlfriend!”


    “We broke up!” Raphael said.


    “When did it happen?” Rae was not surprised by it because it was not the first time he broke up with his


    girlfriend. He was that kind of yboy!


    “Don’t mention it, the new would rece the old. So, do you want to be my girlfriend?”


    “Then break up with you after a few months and we can’t even be friends anymore?” Rae raised her


    eyebrows and asked him back.


    “Rae, I will be faithful in love. If it were you, maybe I can consider having unswerving love!” He seemed


    like telling the truth and also lying, people couldn’t see through the reality from his face.


    Rae didn’t care about it, she just smiled. “Forget about it, I don’t have that much spare time for it!”


    Raphael’s lips were pursed with a faint smile. Heughed, “I know you will say that!”


    The waitress served the dishes. There were all cold dishes. Rae couldn’t wait anymore and started


    eating.


    Just as she took a bite of the beef and beef offal, she received a call from Easton.


    “Rae, Captain Hopkins announced that the meeting will be at 12.10 pm, pleasee on time!”


    “Alright, I am going now!” Rae raised her hands and looked at her watch, the time was 11.55am and


    she needed five minutes to walk back. Thus, she sped up her eating.


    “Duty?” Rachael’s gaze fell on Rae’s face. There was a trace of loss showing on his handsome face. It


    was just the same as usual, her meal had always been disturbed by this and that. He couldn’t


    remember how long had it been she hadn’t had a proper meal with him.


    “Yes!” Rae nodded and she didn’t mention Raphael’s expressions. She just spoke while eating, “Look


    at me, I am just too busy. Raph, I am sorry. I will treat you a meal when I am free to console your hurtful


    emotion due to your broken love!”


    “Just go! Leave after finishing your meal, the reason that Ie here today is to tell you something!


    Rae, I rent a house that opposite the ce you stay now. If you don’t want to move, I can just be your


    neighbor!” Raphael just said it casually.


    Rae was startled. He really wanted to make the words that he said yesterday be true?


    “You—”


    Raphael stopped her from saying a word, “Rae, I can lend you the condo located over Golden Water


    Residence if you agree to move out from the ce you are staying now!”


    “You actually don’t have to do this.” Rae’s interest seemed to have reduced, the aroma of the food


    seemed to disappear too. She also lost her appetite and put down her chopsticks. “Raph, I know that


    you''re concerned about me but do you know that I am under stress when you are doing this? I will not


    go to your Golden Water Residence condo. I can only afford the rental here, the rental of the other


    ces is not on my budget list. But I think I am also going to move out from this ce soon!”


    There was no one following her back home yesterday but she had to be on alert since she had


    discovered someone had followed her.


    “Alright!” Raphael said.


    “I am leaving now for the meeting!” Rae stood up when she was talking.


    “See you tonight!” Raphael nodded.


    Rae was stunned for a while and looked at Raphael’s handsome face. To be honest, she was touched


    and grateful. However, she dared not to get closer to him as she was afraid that her real identity would


    be discovered. She was afraid of revealing her own characteristics. She was suppressing her emotions


    now, not letting her inherent qualities be exposed. She just felt that it was too harsh for her to persist in


    it!


    Raphael didn’t miss the confusion in Rae’s eyes in the sh. He stood up and put his hand on her


    shoulder. He patted her and said, “Let’s talk about itter!”


    “Sure! I am leaving!” Finally, Rae strode and left the restaurant. She was dashing towards the office.


    As soon as she entered the office, she saw that everyone was gathering in the meeting room. She


    walked towards there hurriedly and took a look on her watch to check the time. Luckily, she was just on


    time.


    Just as she went in, Marcel was walking from the corridor which was in the opposite direction to her.


    The room was in silence at the moment.


    Marcel’s cold eyesight swept across Rae’s eyes. He looked more indifferent from his eyebrows and it


    seemed like he just felt disgusting when he saw her.


    Rae was puzzled by his nce. What happened?


    Did she provoke Marcel of anything?


    Rae slightly lowered her head and pondered for a while. Then, she raised her head quickly and looked


    into Rae’s eyes. She was sure that she didn’t do anything wrong and so she didn’t have to behave like


    she had done something bad. She just stared at him directly and her action made Marcel look more


    indifferent!


    He was showing his cold face to everyone and spoke indifferently, “Let’s investigate the case of


    Philippa and Melody!”


    Only then Rae knew that Braeden and Alondra were arraigned in the morning but they refused to say a


    word. The detention period for them was less than eight hours and they would need to be released


    within 24 hours if there was no evidence!


    The meeting didn’tst long, the contents of the meeting were about to allocate duties.


    By the time, Gustavo came in with his hand holding a dozen of documents and he seemed very tired.


    “Captain, I have done aparison for the donkey’s DNA. The things that we are looking for are not


    over there!” Gustavo was getting a bit frustrated. He and his henchmen had been working hard for such


    a long time but in the end, all their effort was just in vain, they were so fatigued to face that result!


    Marcel frowned, “Ask someone to coordinate the traffic police, go and check all the road junctions


    whether there is any vehicle escorting donkeys to leave some time ago!”


    The meeting juststed for not more than 10 minutes, tasks were assigned and then the meeting came


    to an end.


    They walked out of the meeting room one by one. Rae was thest one who stepped out of the room.


    “Rae, you stay!” A low deep voice of a man rang from her back.


    Rae was taken aback. She turned and looked at Marcel. She saw that her Mr. Right was showing a


    cold facial expression that seemed like going to make the whole ce frozen. Thus, Rae was not sure


    that whether he was talking just now.


    To ensure it, Rae asked, “Captain, did you call me just now?”


    Marcel’s narrowed his eyes and his sight swept across Rae’s face, “Hmm!”


    Rae stayed back. Just at the moment, her work phone rang. She said, “Sorry, I need to answer a call


    now.” While she was talking, she went aside and answered the iing call!


    There was some progress for the case. The person she sent to investigate the portrait that was drawn


    by Marvel had brought back a new message.


    “Captain, there is some new progress for the case!”


    “Tell me at my office!” Marcel said and walked to his office.


    Rae followed him to his office.


    “You can say it now!”


    “Thedy on the portrait is Piper’s cousin, Joanna Salinas. She was twenty-eight years old now, same-


    aged as Kenzie!”


    Marcel was not saying anything, he listened to her words carefully.


    “Someone witnessed Joanna met with Melody on the day of Melody’s incident!”


    Marcel moved his eyebrows and kept silent again.


    Even though it was a valuable clue, it couldn’t prove anything.


    “They went for a meal together. After that, Joanna met with Braeden! Then, Melody met with a mishap!”


    Marcel kept a long silence after hearing her report.


    “Other information is still under investigation. It is predicted that there will be newster on today!” Rae


    told him another point when she saw that he was not speaking.


    Marcel didn’t look good on his face. Then, hisplexion seemed to turn better after he lowered his


    head and pondered for a while.


    Rae was kept waiting. She had no ideas what the reason that affected his emotions was but she just


    discovered that Marcel’s mood was not good and he was on the verge of rage. However, he was trying


    to conceal his wrath and then finally he repressed his anger sessfully.


    Rae asked him with concern as she saw him being like that, “Captain, are you too stressful due to this


    case?”


    Marcel who was once lowering his head just headed up when her words were out. His icy gaze fell on


    her and there was a trace of coldness in between his eyebrows.


    Rae thought that she had said something wrong. Thus, she kept silent instantly. She pursed her lips


    and felt embarrassed. She said slowly, “How’s your stomach? Getting better?”


    Maybe he was having a stomachache?


    And that was the reason that he was showing his cold face?


    Marcel still remained silent with his indifferent facial expression.

    She could almost hear their breathing sound in that extremely quiet office. Marcel’s cold face


    expression was still not changed, he even didn’t take a look at Rae.


    Rae felt bored and she just kept silent, waiting for her Mr. Right to finish his outburst.”


    She was looking at the ce in the distance quietly. There wasn’t any little expression on her face. She


    was just waiting and thinking of her own affair.


    Finally, Marcel broke the silence. He asked her, “Have you had your meal?”


    Rae was stunned for a while, “I had it!”


    “So fast?” He seemed to be surprised.


    Rae nodded and said in a low voice, “Just simply eat some!”


    “Are you full?”


    Uh!


    What was going on?


    “I haven’t had my lunch.” He said.


    Rae was startled again and became speechless.


    By the time, Marcel continued to say, “The breakfast tastes good, thanks! I will treat you lunch as a gift


    back!”


    Again, Rae was taken aback.


    Marcel walked downstairs. Then, he saw that Rae was still in the state of absent mind, “Hurry up!”


    “Yes!” Rae quickly followed in his footsteps.


    Marcel didn’t move far away. He just went to a nearby restaurant, XM Restaurant, to have his lunch.


    Looking at the signboard of the restaurant, Rae had no choice but to walk in. She didn’t know whether


    Raphael had left or not.


    When they went upstairs, Rae took a glimpse at the ce that she was sitting with Raphael just now


    subconsciously. There was empty now, even scraps were not left on the table. It seemed like Raphael


    was leaving after she just got out.


    Marcel took a few nces at it and she didn’t know whether it was a coincidence, he chose the same


    seat that she sat with Raphael just now.


    The waitress who sent the menu looked shocked to see her again. He looked at Rae and then looked


    at Marcel, wondering why there was another man. And she was having the second meal in a short


    while?


    Rae lowered her head subconsciously. Marcel looked at the menu and nced at Rae. It was


    unexpected that he didn’t hand the menu to her but took the order by himself. All the dishes he picked


    were hot. But those were all simple Cantonese cuisine and it wouldn’t waste their time.


    After taking the order, he gave the menu back to the waitress and didn’t even nce at Rae, “A ss


    of apple juice!”


    Rae was stunned for a while.


    After the waitress left, Marcel exined to her, “There was a ss of apple juice on your table, I


    thought you might like apple juice!”


    Undeniably, Rae really admired his fantastic observation. Indeed, there was a ss of apple juice on


    her table. It was one of Rae’s favorite beverages. When she was Natalie, her favorite drink was kiwi


    juice. But she was Rae now. She had to love the things that Rae liked and hated what Rae disliked.
