Without greeting Elsa, Luke took a detour and walked through a path in the garden behind the house, before he stood in front of a small door.
At that moment, the door was closed. Luke looked at the gate, which looked like an iron fence, and saw a path. Two hundred meters to the right, he would reach the main road.
He walked to the right side of the fence and looked around. Finally, he stopped at the end of the fence and looked at a surveillance camera in front of a house diagonally across the street.
He went back to the front and asked the nanny named Sally how to open the back door.
Sally quickly said that there was a remote control in the house that could open the back door.
Luke nodded. "Open it for me. I want to take a look at the back street."
Sally pressed a button on a panel somewhere in the living room and said to him, "All right."
Standing next to her, Luke looked at the panel for a moment and suddenly asked, "Is this the only way to open the back door?"
Sally shook her head. "No, Selev has a remote control that can open the front and back doors."
Luke nodded and said, "Thank you," before he left.
When he reached the back door, it was already unlocked.
Luke walked to the right and observed the surveillance camera diagonally across the street for a moment. It was the back door of another house.
He continued walking forward until he reached the main road.
Standing on the main road, he looked around, deep in thought. Finally, he shook his head and returned to Katie's villa.
Elsa was looking for him. She frowned and asked, "Where did you go?"
Luke said, "I was looking for surveillance cameras. Maybe I could find some leads."
Elsa was satisfied. She nodded and said, "Good. Did you find anything?"
Luke said, "There's a surveillance camera at the back door on the main road. Let's take a look."
Elsa said, "Go ahead. Find me at the police department after you get it. I have to go back first. Our captain is already asking about the case. We'll both be in trouble if we don't solve it. "
Luke simply nodded.
The death of a popular star in his precinct was definitely a tricky case.
It wasn't that celebrities were important, but that this kind of case could easily be used as a topic of gossip. It would have a huge impact. If the case couldn't be solved in the end, it would have a negative impact on the police station's image.
The 200-pound fatty's death didn't have that much of an impact, and the police weren't in such a hurry.
He went out from the back door again, went around to the front door where the surveillance camera was, pressed the doorbell, and showed his badge.
This time, someone answered quickly. It was a security guard.
After looking at Luke's ID and requesting to see the surveillance footage from the back door, the security guard said that he would ask the owner of the villa.
In the end … he didn't manage to obtain it.
The owner of the villa refused Luke's request for the surveillance footage, and didn't give any explanation.
After Luke negotiated for a while, the security guard hesitated, but didn't ask the owner of the villa on his behalf.
Luke could only give up. When he returned to the police department, Elsa had already reported the situation to Dustin.
His arrival caused both of them to focus their attention on him.
Hearing that the family was unwilling to cooperate and that they did not have the surveillance footage, both of them frowned.
"Is there something wrong with your attitude?" Elsa couldn't help but ask.
Luke smiled bitterly. "It was the security guard who talked to me. I think he actually wanted to give me the surveillance footage, but the owner didn't show up, and simply told him to turn me down. I don't think the owner can see it even if I'm rude. "
Dustin shook his head. "Elsa, go and see what's going on with the family. It's best if you can get the surveillance footage. After all, it's one of the few surveillance cameras in the area. Alright, hurry up. The director has already called to ask me about the situation. I don't want my answer to be 'no comment' the next time he calls. "
Luke and Selina nodded and left.
Elsa was clearly in a bad mood.
The previous case of John Doe's death had not been solved yet, and now there was another celebrity's death at the same place. It was too easy to attract attention.
If she didn't solve the case soon, she might be demoted.
In a bad mood, she naturally wouldn't be nice to Luke. She simply asked him to follow her and said, "You're still too young. You have to be careful when dealing with these magnates."
Elsa ran a background check on the family in the surveillance footage, and her face turned even darker.
It was the villa of Jenny Gwenis, the daughter of the CEO of the Tiger Fund.
Boris, the CEO of the Tiger Fund, was a classic rich man who was best at playing with finance and the law.
Rich people like him were truly troublesome.
Even if the surveillance footage was useless to them, he might not be willing to cooperate with the investigation.
Taking a deep breath, Elsa led Luke to the villa again.
As it turned out, Elsa was given the cold shoulder again.
Luke hadn't seen his master, and Elsa hadn't seen her master either, much less the surveillance footage.
Furious, Elsa talked to Dustin for a long time. Eventually, she obtained a search warrant from the court, which allowed them to get the surveillance footage.
The main reason was that Katie had become quite famous in the past two years.
While the minor star was still a B-list celebrity, she was the talk of the town.
She had died in her own swimming pool in the same way as John Doe last time. That was too much of a topic.
Now that the police department was under a lot of pressure, they didn't care about the CEO of the Tiger Fund anymore. After all, they only wanted the surveillance footage, not the man.
Elsa left with a murderous look on her face, and returned in frustration.
This time, she finally broke into the villa, but she still didn't get the footage.
The man said that the surveillance footage had been broken recently, and there was no footage.
The technicians that Elsa brought with her checked the surveillance system, only to tell her that the tapes had already been taken away.
As for the surveillance screen, it was dark because the power wasn't on at all.
Nobody knew whether the power ran out because of her arrival, or whether it had been running out recently.
Elsa didn't get the footage, and was scolded by Dustin again.
Dustin, on the other hand, was scolded by the director, who said that Boris, the CEO of the Tiger Fund, had called to protest and claim that they were abusing their power.
Elsa's face was even more awful after she came out, and she scolded Luke as well.
That was because Luke was the one who had set up the surveillance footage.
Now, Elsa had been given the cold shoulder, but they hadn't found any leads.
Luke didn't say anything, and simply said that he would look into it again.
Elsa was annoyed and didn't feel like talking nonsense with him. She directly left with the car.
