“Yes!” Rae thought that Marcel right now was a bit serious as criminal police, this was her charming senior.
The meeting room after 10 minutes.
After reading the report, there were waves of discussion from the meeting room. All of them felt very sighed and excited, at the same time it was a bit wretched, after all this was a very perverted case.
After entering the meeting room, Marcel said directly, “Everyone talk about the opinion on this case!”
Rae was stunned for a while but did not rush to speak.
She squinted her eyes slightly and thought back the moment when she saw the corpse, her mind appeared the scene again.
Everyone was very positive. It was nothing more than a perverted criminal, childhood trauma, mental illness and so on.
Marcel heard everyone’s opinion and did not express anything.
After they finished their speech, Rae had not spoken yet, Marcel asked her, “Rae, how about you?”
Rae pursed her lower lip and hesitated for a while, “It’s still an immature reasoning, I still need to look at the laboratory report of the corpse. In addition, from the commonality of the two, both deceased were about 20 years old, at the age of youth, and also sexually assaulted, I can deduce the following points! If there is any error, captain Hopkins please correct me!”
“Go ahead!” Marcel nodded.
“First of all, I think that the age of the murderer is between 28 to 30 years old, when it was 20 years old, it suffered a major turning point in its life and even abuse. Second, only like red. Third, the location of the crime should be around the farm. Last, the murderer may be a woman.”
When Rae finished speaking, everyone was in an uproar.
Marcel didn’t give any comments, just said, “Get the second laboratory report of corpse and discuss it again! Now go to confirm the source of corpse. Gustavo leads a team to investigate the farm, we only need to know how many male donkeys around the whole City B.
When Marcel finished speaking, everyone looked at each other, after all such a perverted case happened.
In the afternoon, Rae went with her colleagues non-stop to find the identity of the second corpse and arrange the police to investigate the area where the corpse was dropped.
According to the survey of the deceased’s face, it was quickly confirmed that the deceased was Melody Knox. She was 20 years old and a student of Oil Painting Department of Normal University. When Rae got the proof, she went to the dormitory of Normal University and brought her things to the police station.
She sent the information to the evidence center for analysis and investigation. Rae remembered Philippa’s memory card, what was the meaning that the picture of the real Rae inside there? If this case was related to five years ago, where should she go? How about her identity?
Rae kept thinking about things in a daze before the last hour of off work.
The evidence center finished analyzing the information quickly, there was no valuable evidence at all.
This case came to a dead lock in a moment.
Rae cannot hand over Philippa’s memory card, if she did it, her identity will be revealed. So, she cannot tell the truth, she was suffering because of this.
The laboratory report of corpse came out quickly, Rae went to take the report.
The more she read the report, the more she was shocked. She went to report Marcel immediately.
She saw Marcel was holding a file when she entered the door, he was frowning and pondering, standing next to two other colleagues, Jeffery and Bryson.
“Captain Hopkins, the report is out!” Rae said.
Marcel silently took the report from her and read it seriously, he said to Jeffery and Bryson, “Find out all of the monitor system that involving Philippa and Melody by tonight, you two are in charge.”
Jeffery and Bryson received the order to work.
Rae waited for order.
“Melody was pregnant!” Marcel said.
“Maybe the murderer is not a woman!”
Rae remembered her reasoning, “But I still think the murderer is a woman!”
“Evidence!” Marcel said.
Rae shook her head, the current few evidence could not infer the answer.
“Not confident?” Marcel raised his eyebrow.
“No!” Rae shook her head. “I cannot fully confirm yet, let’s talk about it after confirming it!”
“The murderer is a woman, being pregnant doesn’t mean that was murderer’s child, but the case become more interesting now!”
The original plan was giving Marcel a reception dinner today, the murder case did not affect the original plan. The leaders’ meaning obviously will not change the plan.
Thus, this made more people in the police station know more clearly that Marcel’s unusualness and special identity. Gradually, Marcel will only be promoted to a higher position.
Therefore, about the reception dinner, nobody asked for leave except the employees of working overtime.
Marcel did not reject either.
Rae did not know what actually Marcel thinking was, she instinctively thought that Marcel would reject the reception dinner, but the truth was not.
Before off work, deputy director assembled everyone except the employees on duty, the others drove to the hotel together.
Rae carried a big bag, called while walking to arrange the progress of the case.
Gustavo and Easton walked behind and discussed something.
Rae hung up the phone, and Gustavo talked to her with emotion, “The case today is very serious, I have to drink a few more glasses, otherwise I can’t fall asleep tonight…Rae, you drink a few more glasses too, I’ll call a taxi for you!”

the writing is quite childish, but maybe it's just the translations...
