Luke was lost for words. "Rich people are truly capricious."
Elsa couldn't agree more. "The residents here are basically like that. Few of them are easy to talk to. Try not to say anything later."
Luke nodded. Of course he understood the golden saying for newcomers, "Watch and listen more, talk less, and do less."
As they talked, they arrived at the entrance of a villa.
Luke observed the villa and compared it with the house prices he had seen in the past few days. He knew that the villa couldn't be too expensive.
It wasn't in the best location, and it wasn't very big. He didn't know how well it was decorated, but it should only cost two or three million dollars, which was the lowest price for a villa in Beverly Hills.
This villa certainly wasn't one of the mansions in Beverly Hills that most people talked about. Most of the mansions cost at least ten million dollars, and only the top ones cost thirty to fifty million dollars.
After pressing the doorbell, a woman's voice came from the intercom on the side. She said a few words to Elsa, and Elsa even showed her badge to the camera.
Then, they waited, but nobody came for several minutes.
Luke found that odd. "What's the meaning of this? Does it take a few minutes to call Katie? "
Elsa wasn't bothered. "Don't be hasty. She made me wait for forty minutes the first time I came. She told me that she was putting on makeup."
Luke was lost for words. "… Is she ugly?" He wasn't joking. Many celebrities were ugly without makeup.
Elsa smiled. "No. When she appeared in front of me, she looked like she was going to a press conference. Her makeup was flawless."
Luke was lost for words. "… It's in every woman's nature to love beauty."
Suddenly, a middle-aged woman ran over and yelled in panic. "Ah, come in! Come in, detectives! Something's happened! "
The door was already open by the time she arrived. Luke and Elsa looked at the middle-aged woman in confusion.
Elsa quickly explained, "This is Katie's nanny, Sally."
Sally ran over and was still yelling.
Elsa couldn't help but shout, "Stop!"
Sally was startled and finally stopped shouting.
Elsa asked, "What happened?"
Sally was alarmed again. "Dead, Miss Cathy, she's dead."
Elsa asked, "What?"
Luke: "…"
A moment later, the two of them were brought to the swimming pool at the back by Sally. Looking at the floating body in the pool, the two of them looked at each other.
Soon, Elsa started contacting the police department and asking for reinforcements. The people from the forensics department were also rushing over.
Of course, there was no need to save Miss Katie. Just by looking at her floating body, they knew that the superstar was already dead.
Soon, the people from the forensics department arrived and began to collect evidence.
Luke asked Elsa in a low voice, "Does Katie have a habit of swimming naked?"
Elsa said, "I've never heard of that. At least she wore a bikini to Santa Monica Beach."
Luke nodded thoughtfully.
Yes, Miss Katie of Winchester was naked, floating face down in the small swimming pool in her backyard. The depth of the pool was only around a meter.
However, it was this small pool that was only one meter deep that had already caused the deaths of two people in a row.
What was even weirder was that both John Doe and Miss Katy were dead inside, and their movements were almost the same even when they were lying on the ground.
No matter how one looked at it, there was something strange about this case.
However, Luke wasn't in a hurry.
This was a case led by Elsa. If he wasn't completely confident, he shouldn't say anything, which would only make Elsa think that he was being too careless.
Elsa didn't ask for his opinion, and simply busied herself.
She conducted preliminary examinations with the people from the forensics department and interrogated the two maids and the security guard in the villa.
Luke simply followed her in silence and paid attention to how Elsa communicated with those people.
In comparison, what he had learned in town at the beginning was only the basics, and what Elsa was doing was more advanced.
The forensics department here was much more professional. Several forensic scientists were busy inside and outside the villa.
They checked the beds, the floor, the perimeter of the pool, they even took a small bottle of water from the pool.
However, the discussion between the two forensic scientists was a little creepy when they saw the naked body of the famous star Katie.
"I quite liked her movie Don't Move. Hm, I remember that she had a red mole on her chest."
"Did she get fat? Look here. There's definitely orange peel tissue. "
"It's fine. She doesn't have to worry about her weight anymore."
"She claimed on her blog that she was 1.7 meters tall, but she's only 1.64 meters tall. She lied about her height."
"Hehe. Who doesn't lie about their height? Feel here."
"Oh, the eye of a needle. She had breast implants made from autologous fat. No wonder she suddenly turned from a 34B to a 36D. "
Luke: "…"
The two forensic scientists looked at the body of a beautiful star as if she were a medical dissection material. They claimed that they were fans of the star, but their hands were cold and emotionless, as if they were touching a dead pig.
In the end, one of the forensic scientists gave Elsa a preliminary report. "The time of death is estimated to be between three and four o 'clock last night. However, the time might not be accurate since the body was soaked in water. Further examination is needed. There's water in her lungs, so it's very likely that she drowned. There are no obvious wounds on her body, except for a broken toenail. "
Elsa listened and asked a few other questions.
Luke took the opportunity to enter Katie's bedroom. He nodded at the forensic scientist who was examining the body, before he looked around.
The forensic scientist had been busy, but was curious about Luke's behavior. Of course, he was more curious about the young detective. "What are you looking for?"
"Inspiration!" Luke closed his eyes and walked around the room, but didn't run into any furniture. The forensic scientist was stunned.
Then, Luke smiled at him and walked out.
The forensic scientist was a young white girl who was clearly new to the job. Stunned by Luke's smile, she blushed a moment later. "Why do I suddenly feel that he's a little handsome? No, I have to work. I'll have to work overtime on this case. "
After a while, the girl stopped again. "But he's really handsome, especially when he smiles. Why is he smiling at me like that? Does he want to ask me out? No, he didn't even ask for my name … "
Luke had no idea that he would one day hit on a girl with his face. He walked out of the bedroom and to the pool.
(The book officially starts interspersing with the detective segment.
However, anyone who watched CSI or the Major Crimes Division would know that many cases weren't very complicated. Detective work was more about the work and life of the characters, so the detective work in this book wasn't very complicated, like Sherlock Holmes or Detective Conan.
Those were all screenwriters who worked on several cases a month and earned hundreds of thousands of dollars a year.
