Chapter 974 Inference
“You heard rumours that it was me who spread the news about Marcel being impotent, right?” Rae shot
back at Lexie right away.
Lexie was slightly taken aback. What she had wanted to say was stuck, and she gave a fewughs,
“Actually, actually, I really didn’t say anything, but everyone had said it was you who said it, and I
personally think you’ve been wronged!”
Rae ignored her.
Lexie continued, “Rae, I’ll apologize to you, please don’t put on such a cold face, it’s quite scary!”
Rae turned to take a look at her, her face turning even colder, “Lexie, let me warn you. I will never go
against any one of our colleagues. However, if there’re people who are speaking about me behind my
back, I might retaliate, then if things turn sour, it will be awkward for everyone!”
Finishing her words, Rae took her transcript and left for the meeting.
At that moment, she had already calmed herself down. Although her eyes were still slightly red, but the
colour on her face had already returned. She looked calm and peaceful. Walking into the conference
room, she met Marcel’s eyes right away. Rae didn’t avert her gaze, instead she continued looking at
Marcel calmly, holding his gaze while walking in.
Very quickly, everyone arrived, and Garbassi’s team had also arrived. Marcel sat at the head of the
conference table, and shot a cold nce around the room. Then he said in a deep voice, “Let’s discuss
the matter today! The matter regarding Karina and her brother Stanley!”
Recently Rae hadn’t taken part in the investigation herself, so she didn’t have any understanding of this
case at all. Presently, she didn’t know why Marcel had looped herself into this meeting. Was he doing
this on purpose to make her feel bad?
If that was the case, she really wondered whether Marcel had fallen in love with her, wanting to keep
her in his watch like this!
For revenge alone, it was sufficient to make him do even worse things to her. But looking at the current
situation, apart from insulting her right to her face, and then berating her in public, he hadn’t done
anything else. Therefore, Rae had been so full of herself to wonder whether Marcel had really fallen in
love with her!
However, when Marcel put up the deceased Stanley’s photo on therge screen, Rae immediately put
aside her thoughts, and quickly immersed herself in the matter.
This was because on therge screen, every injury on Stanley’s body was photographed and erged.
Rae could see the location of his injury, and at this moment, Marcel used the mouse to draw a circle on
the screen, “This ce, this was examined by Gustavo before. This scratch over here, is a scar from a
long fingernail.”
That was an injury that was left behind by a scratch, the injury looked very deep, it must have been by
a very long fingernail.
“We are not discussing who the culprit is!” Marcel continued, “Instead let’s talk about the simrities
between the cases of the two siblings Stanley and Karina! Garbassi, let us know your investigation
oue!”
Garbassi nodded his head, took a look at his surroundings, and then made a short and simple report,
“We employed every member of our team to investigate Stanley and Karina’s work ce, life
circumstances and friends before their death. After ourparison, we havee up with some data.”
At this moment, Garbassi took out a piece of A4 paper which contained the names of many people on
it.
Garbassi ced the piece of paper under the projector. Following that, clear wordings immediately
appeared on therge screen, and several names printed on it were known to Rae!
Heath！Ophelia! Benjamin, Reuben!
The four people were all known by the siblings.
At this moment, Garbassi said, “We found out that on the day before Karina died, she had met with
Reuben before, and before the day Stanley died, he had also met with Reuben!”
Hearing this, Rae also felt a little shocked.
Garbassi continued. “Stanley had met four people separately, and thest person he had met was
Ophelia!”
This time, Rae was really taken aback!
She looked at Garbassi in shock, and she heard him say, “On that afternoon, after Stanley met with
Ophelia, he went to the bar. After that, because the CCTV in that zone was broken, so we weren’t able
to check who Stanley was with. When we received the information that Stanley had made a police
report about being raped by a woman, we logically concluded that someone was pulling a prank on the
police. That was why we didn’t head out for investigation! It turned out that at dawn, Stanley’s body was
found dead at his sister, Karina’s house! We found a sum of money in Stanley’s bank ount, the
amount is one million. However, the bank said that this sum of money was personally deposited by
Stanley at the bank. ording to our investigations, among the people that he had met with, apart from
Ophelia, the rest of them had the capability to pay a sum of one million. However, upon deeper
investigation, within the past three months, none of the four of them had retrieved one million from their
ounts. Hence, the source of this one million is a mystery!”
One million worth of cash would be very heavy. Who would take it out from their bank ounts and put
it at home without using? Would Reuben do that?
Rae was doubtful!
At this moment, Garbassi continued, “Stanley’s body has gone through a post-mortem, and it has been
confirmed that he was indeed raped!”
They continued their discussion for a while, then Marcel started giving out instructions. He said to
everyone, “For Reuben, Heath and Benjamin, Garbassi will arrange for someone to continue following
them. As for Ophelia, Rae you will be in charge of investigating!”
Rae was slightly surprised, she had never imagined that Marcel would arrange for things in this way, so
she was slightly shocked. Wouldn’t Marcel be worried that she would be biased towards Ophelia?
“For Ophelia, let’s focus on her a little. She was previously let out on bail. Now, for Karina’s case, she is
also a suspect. Therefore, Rae, be careful when you are hunting for evidence!” Marcel’s tone was very
formal, without any hint of emotion.
Rae could only nod her head, “Yes!”
“As for the matter between Ophelia and Reuben, let me briefly inform everyone about this. Ophelia had
been living with Reuben for some time, so there is some connection between both of them!”
When he said this, those that knew about Reuben and Rae’s rtionship subconsciously looked
towards Rae, before lowering their heads again.
Rae was speechless having been stared at by everyone.
She was worried about Ophelia. What had Ophelia got to do with this matter?
As if without any hesitation, after instructing everything, Marcel said to everyone, “Now, go ahead with
your separate tasks!”
Rae looked at her watch, it was already 3.30 in the afternoon. If she went ahead with investigation at
this hour, she would definitely not be able to take it. What’s more, one person matter would be private,
but two people would be official. For this matter, she had to bring another person with her. But before
that, she wanted to meet Ophelia first. Regardless, she had to rify whether Ophelia was rted to
this matter!
Rae packed her things, and made a call to Ophelia. It had been a long while since she met with
Ophelia, she was slightly worried on whether Ophelia would pick up her call. In the end, Ophelia picked
up very quickly, and her tone was exactly the same as in the past. “Rae, is there a matter?”
“Yea!” Rae sighed in relief, “Let’s meet up this evening, let’s have dinner together!”
“Now?” Ophelia seemed as if she had something going on. “Why not make it at night? I have to get
dinner with a client, let’s meet at 9 p.m. Let’s go to DF Square and meet there. It seems like it’s been a
while since we watched the stars over there. I kind of miss the times when we were sixteen or
seventeen, and counting stars in the school field together!”
With her words, Rae was reminded of the past. She said into the phone, “Alright then, let’s meet at
night!”
After hanging up, Rae spent the whole afternoon poring over the meeting information. She examined
everything repeatedly, looking for any clues.
Seeing that she was so serious, Lexie came over to her and said, “Rae, tell me, what kind of woman is
so thirsty that she would force a man on her like this! These matters make me shiver when I think about
it. Doesn’t this embarrass all women?”
Rae took a look at Lexie, not wanting to continue the conversation. She felt that if she continued saying
something, she was not sure what else Lexie woulde up with. Therefore, she shut her mouth and
did not say anything. She would like to see how Lexie would spread more rumours.
Lexie continued, “But this woman forced the man on herself, if the man had no reaction, it wouldn’t
have been sessful! So, this kind of matters are not conclusive. How did it even happen? I am so
curious! How does the woman look like? How tough, how much bravery would this have required!”
Rae still refused to speak.
Lexie felt that there was no entertainment value here, and so she went back to her seat in a huff, not
talking anymore.
When Rae got off work in the evening, she left her unit and got ready to leave. Suddenly, she saw an
image of a Rolls Royce passing by the road outside the police station.
Rae was taken aback for a second. She immediately gged down a cab, and said to the driver, “Sir,
chase after the Rolls Royce in front!”
The cab driver opened his mouth, his expression almost as if mocking Rae, ‘Miss, are you crazy!’
Finally, he still said, “Miss, mine is a Volkswagen,pared to a Rolls Royce, the difference is huge!”
Rae didn’t care, shing her identification card. “Sir, I am a police! I’m carrying out my duties now,
please cooperate!”
Once the driver saw her identification card, he immediately stepped on the elerator. “Alright, I will
chase him with my life!!”
The cab chased after the Rolls Royce through a few streets, before finally stopping on a street. The car
stopped at the doorstep of a jewellery shop.
Rae got the driver to stop too.
At this moment, a young man got down from the car. When Rae saw him, she was frozen for a
moment.
Wasn’t this Benjamin?
Before she got down, Benjamin had already walked over. He walked towards her cab, and when he got
closer, he knocked on the car window. The driver had to wind down his window. Benjamin squinted his
eyes slightly and took a look at Rae who was sitting at the back. He then smiled, “Rae, are you
following me?”
This is property ? N?velDrama.Org.
Rae was shocked by Benjamin’s sharp observation skills and his pointed question, and she was at a
loss for words at that moment.
But the driver was smart, and he quickly replied, “Miss, we’ve arrived at the jewellery shop, didn’t you
want to go to the jeweller?”
Rae looked at the driver gratefully, and took out some money for the driver. “Keep the change!”
Rae got down from the car, and smiled at Benjamin, “I came to the jewellery shop, didn’t expect to see
Mr. Newman here!”
Finishing her words, Rae shot him a smile, her expression innocent.
Benjamin narrowed his eyes, considered Rae, and smiled. “So it’s a misunderstanding, I thought you
were following me!”
Rae felt that this guy’s gaze was very sharp. When he looked at her, she felt an unknown sense of
panic. She was a little afraid of this kind of gaze.
Benjamin continued, “Since you’re going to the jewellery shop, what a coincidence, let me pick some
jewellery too. Let’s head in together!”
“Sure!” Rae nodded her head.
The both of them walked into the shop, and came to the counter. Benjamin asked Rae, “Why are you
here buying jewellery on your own?”
“Aren’t you doing the same, Mr. Newman?” Rae smiled politely at him, her expression was very calm.
“Is Mr. Newman buying jewellery for your girlfriend?”
