A Moment in Destiny

Chapter 898 In Your Room

At this moment, Marcel Hopkins continued, “To hide your mother’s crime, you betrayed your father. Raphael Gill, you are in such a dilemma, so you decided to make fake evidence to frame your father. You’ll be the only successor once your father is sentenced to death or arrested into prison. Raphael Gill! You are such a merciless son!”

Such words were full of malicious judgment!

However, Raphael Gill had no time to think about it.

Rae Baxter also sighed.

Raphael suddenly raised his head and looked at Rae.

Rae ignored Marcel’s order and said to Raphael, “Raphael Gill, what’s fake is always fake, so just tell us the truth! Where is another shirt?”

Marcel glanced at Rae with cold eyes, but Rae didn’t care about it.

Raphael lowered his head, and after a long time, he finally spoke, “It’s in your room!”

Rae was stupefied!

Marcel and the other fellows were all stunned. Everyone stared at Rae.

Rae shouted, “Raphael Gill?”

Raphael raised his head and said hurriedly. “Don’t misunderstand. It’s my mother’s clothes. I found it and hid it in Rae’s room. Our houses are quite close, and her room is right opposite mine. She’s not living there now, so I jumped into her room by the windows, and hid the clothes in her room!”

His explanation eased everyone. They almost thought Rae was the murderer!

Rae was speechless. She gazed at Raphael, and there was disappointment in her eyes.

“Sorry, Rae, I know I’ve let you down! I have no other way. She’s my mother, and all she wants is that I can live well. I can’t send her to the scaffold! I can’t!”

“But you’ve done this!” Rae spoke in a deep voice, “Raphael! You’ve lost your mind!”

What Raphael had done couldn’t help Sammy Champs, but only brought more crimes on her!

Raphael was speechless. He closed his eyes with misery. “I know I’m wrong. Captain Hopkins, All is up to you!”

He had nothing to do now!

After that, Garbassi and Rae went to Rae’s home. It was five in the morning, and there were two strange men with Rae, so the servant was surprised, “Young lady? Why are you coming back now?”

Rae sighed and asked helplessly, “Auntie, you forgot to close the windows of my room, right?”

The servant was stunned, and then nodded, “Well, yes, I forgot it some days ago!”

Rae didn’t speak more but led Garbassi and another fellow to her room.

At this moment, Leonard Baxter and his wife also got up. Leonard frowned as he saw Rae there, but as he found Rae’s limping leg, the blame turned into concern.

“Rae, what’s wrong with your leg?”

Rae turned back and saw them. She had mixed feelings now, but she didn’t want to show anything on her face. There were so many clues indicating that she was abnormal, so she couldn’t let her fellow know more about this.

Therefore, she called Father as Leonard showed his concern.

Leonard was surprised and pleased. During these five years, Rae seldom called him father.

Leonard was moved and almost cried, “Well! Good! What’s wrong with your leg?”

“Nothing important!”

“Nothing important?” Lady Baxter came over with a fast pace, and then bent down to check Rae’s feet. She was shocked as she saw Rae’s swollen feet, “Rae! You can’t work with that. Just ask for a leave and have a rest for some days! Are these your colleagues? Sir, please tell your head that Rae has to take a rest. It’s inhuman to ask a young girl to work with such wounds!”

“Mom!” Rae also called Lady Baxter mom!

Lady Baxter cried out, and couldn’t help hugging Rae, “My daughter! It’s my fault! I didn’t take good care of you!”

This was really out of Rae’s expectation. She even didn’t know how she should react, embarrassed and uncomfortable.

Garbassi was also surprised. Rae was a tough girl in the police station who always worked hard. Why didn’t she stay at home to be a baby young lady? It was so tiring to be a policewoman. This job was dangerous and with not high salary. Most importantly, it might be hard for a police girl to find a boyfriend.

“Aunt, our leader has given Rae a holiday, but we need to finish this case today,” Garbassi explained, which meant that he had no right to give Rae a day off!

Lady Baxter was disappointed, “you guys should be humane! Especially your boss! Look at her feet. What a hard-hearted police guy!”

“Mom, I’m busy now, so please go to sleep!” Rae tried to be gentle.

“Eat the breakfast first. What are you doing here so early in the morning?”

“I’m here to find something!” Rae explained.

“Find what?”

“Don’t ask more. I’m really busy!” After saying this, Rae went upstairs.

Lady Baxter hugged her tightly, but Rae reacted toughly. She got rid of Lady Baxter’s hug. However, Lady Baxter followed her to go upstairs and was crying, “it’s so terrible with your feet. Don’t go to work today. Listen to me, just quit this! You’re our only daughter, so you can’t make yourself in danger!”

Rae didn’t speak.

They got to Rae’s room. Rae opened the door and went in.

She looked around and then put on the gloves.

Lady Baxter was confused, “Rae, why do you put on the gloves?”

“Be quiet!” Rae stopped Lady Baxter in a low voice.

Lady Baxter stood there and didn’t speak anymore.

Rae checked the bedside table, and there was nothing in it!

Then she checked the closet, nothing!

She looked around, and then stared at her suitcase!

It seemed that someone had moved it!

Rae went over, squatted, and then opened the suitcase. There was obviously a shirt with blood!

And it was a blouse for ladies!

Seeing this evidence, both Garbassi and Rae breathed a sigh of relief.

However, Lady Baxter cried with shock, “Ah! What’s that? It’s blood!”

She was timid, so she almost fainted as she saw the blood!

Rae didn’t explain. Her fellow took the blouse with the tong. There were a pair of gloves and a towel also stained with blood. Rae didn’t move but just watch her fellow doing this. The clothes should be sent to Martial Evidence Section and check if they belonged to Sammy Champs.

Soon, they finished the work, and were ready to go back, but Lady Baxter was still asking.

Rae was helpless, so she had to tell Lady Baxter, “don’t be scared. It’s not mine. I didn’t kill anybody!”

“Ah? Kill?” Lady Baxter fainted after hearing this.

Leonard caught his wife and asked in a strict voice, “why is there a blouse with blood in our home? Whose blouse? Rae, you should tell us about this!”

“Don’t ask more. I’m busy!” Obviously, Rae didn’t want to talk more. She refused to talk to Leonard because she felt suffering once she talked to Leonard.

“Rae! I’m asking you!” However, Leonard stopped Rae on the way.

In such a serious situation, Garbassi had to explain this, “Mr. Baxter, the blouse in Rae’s room is from Raphael Gill. Please remember to close the windows at night, or you even won’t find thieves or something coming by the windows!”

“Raphael Gill?” Leonard was amazed, “where did that boy get this?”

“You’ll know this case sooner or later, but please keep this secret and never let anyone know about this before we solve it!” Garbassi requested.

Leonard was stunned. Though he was still confused, he nodded, “OK, I know!”

“So please take Lady Baxter into your room and have a rest!” Garbassi said. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Before they left, Rae didn’t talk too much. She just greeted the servant but didn’t speak any word with Leonard Baxter.

Garbassi was wondering when Rae stayed with her family. His eyes at Rae were full of doubts.

Rae pretended to see nothing, but she began to warn herself that she should be more careful later!

They went back to the police station and sent the blouse to the Material Evidence Section. They got the result at nine in the morning. Then they sat and listened to the report.

“It’s Joanna’s blood, and there is Sammy Champs’s DNA on it. Judging from the shape of the blood, we can make sure that its owner killed the dead from her back. Most of the blood is on the bottom of the blouse. It must be stained after the girl is dead. There are also Sammy Champs’s fingerprints on the white gloves on the towel, and no Mathew Gill’s!”

Marcel nodded, and then checked his watch, “OK, get ready and let’s go to the interrogation room ten minutes later!”

Marcel Hopkins called everyone to the first interrogation room again, where Sammy Champs was already there.

After everyone sat down, Marcel began the interrogation.

The woman was still as calm as she looked before.

Marcel had to admit that this woman was really an evil demon, who could keep calm after being interrogated three times! Marcel almost wanted to admire her calmness!

Rae had the same feelings as Marcel’s.

Everyone was shocked. This old woman was quite great in some aspects!

Marcel put a cup of water on the table for Sammy Champs, “we have to thank you!”

Sammy Champs was confused, but soon she realized something. She calmed down again and said, “Why are you saying this?”

Marcel stared at her and couldn’t help sighing, “thank you for you’ve taught us a lesson. You’re so good at avoiding questions!”

“I don’t know what you mean!” Sammy Champs still looked innocent, but the calmer she looked, the more suspectable she was.

“I don’t know what you’re saying, but I know you must have reasons to call me here again. What do you want this time?”

It seemed that she was still confident enough and refused to answer the question. What a shameless woman!

Of course! She was a middle-aged woman who couldn’t control her desire and even found both her ex- boyfriend and ex-boyfriend’s son to fulfill her hunger. Then she found numerous young men who were twenty years old younger than her. Of course, she was shameless!

“Lady, about Joanna Salinas’s death, there are still some questions for you!” Marcel spoke slowly, “I hope you can tell us the truth this time!”
