Chapter 856 ident
"You don''t look like you didn''t get anything!"Marcel Hopkins was leering at Rae Baxter and saying.
Rae took a look at him, she was still down in mood. "I want to ask you, from the perspective of a man,
a man and a woman go to a hotel to book a room, staying there for an hour, usually what will they do?"
Marcel looked at Rae with a profound expression on his face, he did not answer her question and
asked, "If you''re the one who go to hotel with me. No, for example,st night we had also booked a
room, you tell me what we did?"
Rae understood for a moment, reproaching herself inwardly, she really made too much blind and
disorderly conjectures, if she thought like that, Raphael Gill was innocent!
She really had suspected Raphael, no wonder Raphael would be that angry, he even said that their
friendship was over.
It seemed like she needed to apologize to him, otherwise she would really lose him as a friend.
Thinking of that, Rae returned the clothes to Marcel. "Captain Hopkins, thank you, I need to go back,
goodbye!"
"I send you!" Marcel said.
"No need, I take a taxi myself!" Rae rejected politely.
However, Marcel did not give her chance to reject, grabbing her wrist, covering her body with the
clothes, then he walked to the direction of his car.
Rae was brought to the front passenger seat by him, he also got in quickly, the car was heading home.
Rae did not say anything on the way, Marcel also never said anything.
When they were about to reach home, Rae received a call, telling her that they had lost track of Joanna
Salinas, they seemingly had been discovered by Joanna, so she went to the shopping mall, then she
was gone!
Rae was surprised, it was normal to lose track of Joanna, as they were short of hands after all, as long
as it was not because of the informants were cking. She spoke on the phone, "Quickly confirm her
whereabouts, don''t let her discover!"
After hanging up the phone, Rae reported to Marcel.
After Marcel listened to her, he remained silent for a long time.
When Rae still wanted to say something, Marcel suddenly said, "What happened to Raphael and
Joanna?"
Rae was startled, she did not expect that Marcel would know that Raphael and Joanna were dating,
she abruptly turned her head to look at Marcel, he already turned his head to look at her, their eyes
met, Rae was taken aback, she was guilty that she did not report to him, while in Marcel''s eyes, there
was confidence in taking the lead, the nce seemingly told that, Rae, ‘even you had nned
deliberately, you are unable to conceal it.’
"I''m sorry, I''m not intentional to conceal it, I just want to confirm whether Raphael is in rtionship with
Joanna, is he rted to the murder case!"
"Rae!" Marcel''s muffled male voice sounded, without any emotions, he was serious. "I think that as a
criminal police, you should be rational!"
Rae knew it assuredly, she nodded her head and apologized again, "Yes, I''m really too emotional!"
This was her weak point, she already noticed that.
Maybe he saw that she had a good attitude at admitting her fault, Marcel did not take any disciplinary
action against her.
Rae''s phone rang again, it was still the informant just now, she immediately picked up the phone.
"Speaking!"
"Rae, your childhood friend, Raphael is driving Joanna to NY Vi, ourrades just find out!"
"Now?"Rae was dumbfounded.
"Yes, Rae, now they have just reached the NY Vi, ourrades are waiting at NY Vi!"
"I''ll be right there!" Rae felt even weirder, why Raphael stayed together with Joanna once again, it was
just how long had it been, she knew that NY Vi was a real estate which was developed by Raphael.
"Caption Marcel, I need to go and see!" Hanging up the phone, Rae said to Marcel.
"I send you!" Marcel already turned around to the way going to NY Vi.
It was very fast, the car arrived, Rae still had not contacted with the informants, then she saw
Raphael''s car came out, Rae immediately called the informants, she got the same answer.
"Rae, Raphael has left, he went into the house and stayed for fifteen minutes and left! Joanne doesn''t
go out!"
"Alright!" Rae embarrassingly looked at Marcel. "Captain Hopkins, what should we do now?"
"Follow Raphael!" Marcel already turned around the car and drove back again.
Rae arranged people to keep a close watch on Joanna''s movement, Raphael''s car at the front was
heading to the direction of his house, it was not an apartment, it was another vi area which was
located not far from the NY Vi in Green Vi Area, the Baxter family was also over there, they were
the Gill family''s neighbours.
Rae was seeing Raphael''s car drove into the Green Vi Area, but she let Marcel to stop the car.
"Don''t want to go home?" Marcel asked.
Rae was startled, she did not expect that Marcel would know that the Baxter family was over here, but
it was nothing special that he knew about it. She hesitated for a short while and told Marcel, "Captain
Hopkins, you can go back! I''ll call you if something happens!"
She got off from the gateway of Green Vi Area, she decided to go back to the Baxter family once,
she already did not go home for a long time, here was Rae''s home, she lived in here for more than four
years, turning here upside down, however, she had not investigated the inside story during that time.
She even almost took herself as the real Rae, therefore, she moved out from the house, this matter,
her father Kane Graham still had not known.
When she got off from the car, she was lowering her head and walking forward, her figure was bleak.
Marcel in the car slightly squinted his eyes, seeing her leaving figure, he saw the security guard
greeted her and she just nodded her head, Marcel''s gaze became deeper, until he saw Rae walk in, he
then left.
Rae stood at the gateway of the Baxter family, she took a deep breath, she stood still for one minute
until the door was opened suddenly, Rae immediately and startlingly changed her expression to look
cold.
"Miss, you''re back!" The person who opened the door was the old servant of the Baxter family, she had
already worked as a servant for almost twenty years in the Baxter family, everyone called her Lacey.
Lacey had always been a nice person, always doing work dutifully, carrying her duties with dedication,
if she did not conceive hatred for the Baxter family, Rae still very respected her, but she remembered
the aim toe here herself, she had to hide it, she said to Lacey coldly, "Um!"
"Miss!" Lacey did not care about Rae''s coldness at all, she was still passionately nagging, "Ah, miss,
youe back coincidentally, the master and madam went abroad, if they know you havee back,
they must be very happy! Have you eaten?"
They went abroad?
Rae did not expect that, though, it was great, otherwise now in the light of her tiredness, quarreling with
Leonard Baxter would take her a lot of energy, she would be unable to act, therefore, it was great that
they were not at home, she didn’t have to act anymore!
She told Lacey coldly, "Haven''t eat!"
"Then what do you want to eat?" Lacey quickly asked, following Rae at her back. "There are miss''s
favourite desserts in the refrigerator, the madammanded me to make some everyday, waiting for
you toe back and eat, I have made it for a few months but you didn''te back, this time finally
meet you, I just make it this afternoon, miss, you want to eat or not? Pineapple pastry!"
Pineapple pastry was Rae''s favorite dessert, she preferred the salty taste in food vor, Rae shook her
head. "I have a gastric pain, I want to eat noodles, cook some noodles, pineapple pastry tomorrow I''ll
take away!"
Tonight she wanted to stay at Green Vi Area, she went upstairs to see first.
Her bedroom and Raphael''s bedroom at the opposite were only separated by a wall, she could see
Raphael''s bedroom at the opposite through the window. They often talked through the window before.
Rae went to the second floor, switching on the light, she looked at her bedroom, it was still the way it
was when she left, it was cleaned up to be free from dust, seemingly preparing to let people toe
back to stay at anytime, she walked over to the window, the opposite window was dark, the light was
off.
Raphael now probably was talking with his family members! Thinking so, she went to the washroom to
take a bath, changing her clothes, when she went out, the light was on at the opposite bedroom!
Rae saw Raphael now was wearing a loose bath towel, holding a towel in his hand to wipe his dripping
hair.
He also went to take a bath!
When she was looking there, he was also just looking over here, their eyes met, Rae wanted to say
something.
Unexpectedly, Raphael took a look at her without any expression, then he walked to the window,
pulling the curtain back.
She could not see anything there anymore, she just saw the light behind the curtain and Raphael''s tall
figure standing behind the curtain which was reflected by the light, he seemingly was standing still at
there for a long time.
Rae knew that he was really angry! And he had not calmed down yet!
She took out her phone, giving him a call, there was no one answering her call.
? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org.
Rae called again, he also did not answer the call.
She could even hear the mobile phone ringtone in the opposite bedroom, however, he just did not want
to answer it.
She had made five calls continuously, no one answered her calls entirely.
It seemed like Raphael was really angry.
Rae was helpless, she could only send a message to him.
"Raphael, I''m sorry! It is probably my upational habit, not only suspecting you, I suspect everything
and everyone. Please don''t be angry with me, okay? I don''t want to lose you as my friend!"
However, the message was sent for a long time, he did not answer it.
Rae was helpless, she could only continuously send one hundred times ''sorry''.
There was still no one answering her call.
She woke up early the following day to have breakfast and go to work, Lacey already helped her to
pack the desserts, a big pack of desserts, Rae saw Lacey''s efforts, feeling grieved, but her expression
remained dull, she could not have feelings, she was afraid that in the end she could not afford the hurt.
"Miss, the master''s health is not good, they went abroad to see a doctor, your father recently always
coughed!" When Lacey passed the desserts to her, she looked at her face and said.
Rae was worried, she felt sad inexplicably.
One word stuck in her throat, unexpectedly she did not say it. She took over the desserts, quickly left.
Behind her, Lacey''s long sigh sounded.
Rae''s body halted, in the end she still never said anything.
Lacey said at the back, "Miss, give your father a call, madam misses you until she often wipes her
tears, there is no unforgivable hatred among families, don''t be regret afterwards!"
Rae had heard all, but she still never answered, she just felt that she had a sore throat, some words
stuck inside there, could not tell. She told herself, Leonard Baxter was not her father, her father was
Kane Graham, these two families had a huge hatred!
She just went to the unit, meeting Marcel, Marcel looked down at the desserts in her hand. "Is this
something delicious?"
Rae passed it over. "Pineapple pastry!"
"Oh!" Marcel took it over. "Thanks, coincidentally I like them as well!"
Rae was speechless, turning her head, she saw the informant behind Marcel, Jaelyn who was
arranged by her was running here. "Captain Hopkins, Rae, Joanna has died!"
"What?" Rae was startled, "What happened?"
"Just receive a report, her nanny said that, the nanny found that this morning when she went to work,
Joanna has already died! She probably has died sincest night!"
When Rae and Marcel arrived at the murder scene, Gustavo Wagner brought another forensic
detective, they already started collecting the chain of evidences.
They had not walked into the room, they already were smoked by the strong bloody smell until they felt
nausea, the scene that yesterday Raphael came here popped out of Rae''s mind, it could not be
Raphael! Definitely not!
