A Moment in Destiny

Raphael Gill wasn't in a hurry to speak. Instead, he looked very calm, confident, and undisturbed.

Rae Baxter looked at him and sighed with relief.

Raphael was this confident and calm because he wasn't a brat. He couldn't have done something like that!

Marcel Hopkins wasn't also in a hurry to speak; he was waiting for Raphael to answer.

After about fifteen seconds, Raphael didn't answer but instead asked, "Captain Hopkins, I would like to ask, how can you be sure that I was the last person to see Joanna Salinas?"

Marcel was slightly stunned and raised his eyebrows, "There was no one in Joanna's villa. The nanny left last night and arrived at 7:50 this morning. Also, the surveillance video did not capture any vehicles entering or leaving the villa!"

Rae was instantly shocked by Marcel's words, surveillance videos always had a blindside, but Marcel would have noticed this kind of problem. She wanted to say something, but she eventually stopped.

"Rae, if you have something to say, just say it." Marcel did not look at her, yet he knew she wanted to say something.

Rae said, "Captain Hopkins, does the surveillance have any blind spot? Has it been broken in the past few days?"

It was not that Marcel didn't suspect this possibility, but he still asked because this wasn't what he wanted. He wanted to cause enmity between Rae and Raphael. Yet, Rae and Raphael seemed to be getting along better and better, and that made him a bit surprised and at the same time impressed with Rae.

Raphael's expression had been indifferent all through. He looked at Marcel as if he knew his motives, then smiled as if he was thrilled.

Rae, slightly stunned, looked at Raphael with warning eyes; he was still in the mood to laugh at this time!

"I have checked it. There is no problem with the surveillance within the past seven days!" Marcel said.

"What about the other days apart from the seven days?" Rae asked rhetorically.

Marcel gave Rae a stern look.

Rae met it and instead looked over.

This time, Marcel did not answer Rae but looked at Raphael.

Raphael then opened his mouth, "I do not know if there was anyone in the villa. When I left, Joanna was about to go to the kitchen to pour some water, and then I heard a sound coming from upstairs; it was like the sound of a hard object falling to the ground. If there is no one in the villa, there wouldn't be any sound from the second floor. But I can't be sure what object fell!"

Marcel looked at the corner of Raphael's eyes with a sort of confidence that said he had nothing to do with the situation. However, whether his testimony was true or not, he was a first-class expert in momentum and presence, and his psychological quality was equally excellent.

Rae also looked at Raphael; his eyes were as clear as glass. Finally, she paused and said, " Raphael, think carefully again, what was the sound of the thing that fell."
