A Moment in Destiny

The cordon has been set up outside the villa. Rae followed Marcel going in and saw Gustavo leading his colleagues were busy in the kitchen.

The criminal scene should be in the kitchen on the first floor of the villa.

They walked a few steps forward and saw the blood on the floor have spread to the door of the kitchen. The blood stains appeared dull and it could be seen that Joanna had been dead for a while.

They looked inside from the kitchen window and saw Joanna leaning at the edge of the kitchen bar. Her body was covered with blood and several stab wounds. It could be seen that she was died tragically.

The murder weapon was a sharp German-made kitchen knife and it stabbed into Joanna’s chest. There was a long wound on her neck and it seemed that even her trachea had been cut.

Rae saw Gustavo wearing a mask and a white gown to examine the corpse, and she became nervous.

At this moment, Marcel asked the informant and the housemaid. “Who was the last person that the deceased saw?”

Rae became more nervous.

The informant took a look at Rae and Marcel and said, “It’s Raphael!”

Marcel frowned slightly and looked at Rae.

Rae also looked at Marcel and there was a voice in her heart ¬–– It wasn’t Raphael!

Fifteen minutes was enough to kill people but Rae just didn’t believe that Raphael will do that! She had suspected Raphael before. But when it came to the real matter, she began to deny it again. It must not Raphael!

Raphael was a gentleman. His economic and family condition was good, how could he do such a thing?

But, how to explain the fact that he was been together with Joanna last night?

Marcel looked at Gustavo then looked at the corpse on the floor. He asked for the protective equipment and examined the corpse himself.

Gustavo saw Marcel coming over and pointed to the wound on Joanna’s body and said, “There are three wounds in total. The wounds on the front chest and the neck are fatal injuries, and another wound is on the lower abdomen. The wound on the lower abdomen and the neck are clearly visible. The wound on the neck is up to 10 cm. The skin and the subcutaneous fat of the lower abdomen were cut off, but the internal organs are not exposed, so it is not a fatal injury. The fatal injury is caused by hemorrhagic shock with the rupture of the lower chest heart vein. According to the wound, it was a suicide and this cut was the last cut.”

“Can determine the time of death?” Marcel asked.

“From the corpse phenomenon, she has been dead for nine to ten hours. Her muscle delaying phenomenon also disappeared. The indoor temperature is now 16-18 degrees, while her body temperature is 20 degrees. Basing on the indoor temperature and the temperature of the corpse, her death time is also between nine to ten hours. The time of death can also be confirmed from the dryness of the blood stains, so there is no doubt about this.”

Marcel nodded. He put on the gloves and took a look at the wound on the neck of the corpse.

He then looked at the wound on the chest of the corpse.

Marcel said again, “The wounds on the chest and the neck are fatal injuries. Even without the cut of chest, she will also be suffocated quickly and die because her trachea was cut off. But how can there be two fatal injuries? She committed suicide stabbing herself three times? It is a bit unreasonable!”

Marcel pointed out suddenly.

Gustavo was stunned.

That means the deceased took the initiative to look for her fatal injury place. The knife stabbed down diagonally from above, and it is not a cut. There should be someone standing behind Joanna and stabbing her in the most convenient position and direction. This wound should be the second wound before the neck! The wound of the lower abdomen is the first cut, and it
