Sammy was stunned. Knowing that Raphael was fine, she was relieved and looked at Macel with hatred. She turned her gaze at Rae. Rae looked away. After all, Rae hid something from Sammy just now.
"Sammy, you are the suspect. Mathew said you killed Joanna while you said it was him. Both of you are suspects."
"I can confront him in court." Sammy said seriously.
Marcel shook his head. "There is no other witness. You can't prove your innocence yourself."
"There were gloves in the kitchen. He wore gloves and took a towel to wipe the handle of the knife and footprints on the ground. In addition, his clothes were bathed with blood. I had no idea where he threw his cloths. However, he wore different clothes when he came home. These are all proofs. You can go and find them. If you can't, you are too incompetent!"
Marcel frowned, "How did you get out?"
Marcel was puzzled about that.
Sammy said, "I climbed out along the drainage pipe in the back yard of the villa. The pipe happened to be repaired that day, so one well lid was not covered. Mathew wanted to take Raphael's car, but I refused. I didn't want my son to know I was there. I still want to be a good mother. My son would be sad if he knew that. I reached an agreement with Mathew. As long as he lets my son be his only heir, I can conceal the fact that he killed Joanna. So, I kept my mouth shut. I didn't expect that you would find it out and Raphael would turn himself in. Even if Raphael didn't give himself in, the police would not rule out the possibility that he or Mathew killed Joanna. Now you prove his innocence. That's okay!"
"We need to confirm that what you said is true or not." Marcel asked about more details and left.
He went back to the office and asked someone to take the surveillance footage. They watched it together.
They found that Joanna's nurse got in and out several times. However, she went out of the villa one more time than she went in. In other words, the nurse went in the villa from the drain once. She was present when the case occurred.
Marcel went to ask Sammy. It turned out that the nurse got in from the drain.
"She could run such a risk to help you. How much money did you give her?" Marcel asked.
"Two million!" said Sammy.
Marcel frowned.
Sammy said, "I made Joanna abort on my own. I gave her two million and she just needed to pretend not to know it."
Marcel sneered. "Is it worth it?"
"Compared with the property of the Gill family, two million is nothing." Sammy was very generous.
No wonder the nurse was tempted.
Garbassi went to that nurse but she was missing, so he began to inquire her whereabouts all over the city.
Marcel interrogated Mathew, who remained calm and said calmly, "Sammy is the murderer. That's all I want to say!"
"You accuse her and she accuses you. It's interesting."
"Mathew, you enjoy high prestige in City B, but you are so indiscreet about your private life."
"You don't have to sneer at me. Even if I am in the prison, I have the right to sue you." Mathew was stubborn.
Marcel was in no hurry. "Sure. You are just a suspect. We are trying to prove your innocence."
Seeing Rae, Mathew suddenly said, "Rae is a bitch. She is not fit to be a policewoman. You didn't look into her private life?"
Rae was surprised. Why was Mathew so hostile to her? Did they have some conflicts before? Or she was involved in his private life?
Rae was scared and lowered her head. Her mind was in a turmoil. She was afraid that she could not keep her identity a secret if she was investigated.
Marcel answered in a strict tone, "Mathew, we are talking about you instead of Rae. Rae took exams and then worked in police station. She has been working hard and can be described as a good policewoman. She is different from you. You have indiscretions."

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