But this case might not be too hard to solve, as long as they weren't too unlucky.
Luke raised his head and looked around. There were surveillance cameras everywhere, and he chuckled inwardly.
This car had appeared openly on a street with a lot of surveillance cameras to pick up the thief. The driver probably didn't expect to be chased all the way here.
As long as someone tracked the car quickly, the necklace and the suspect wouldn't be able to escape.
Luke took out his phone and called Y 'lisabet.
He told her the time and location in a few words. As long as she checked the surveillance cameras nearby, there was a good chance that she would find something.
With that thought in mind, he informed Selina again, put away his phone, and went back along the road.
He had found a lead here, and asked all the questions on the other side. There was no need to keep the supermodels and the staff here.
Selina told Sheerah in private that Luke had found something, and that Sheerah didn't need to worry about the case anymore.
Sheerah indeed didn't have much responsibility in this matter.
The necklace had been kept by someone from Givenchy Jewelry the whole time. She had only worn it on stage to sing one song, and had taken it off after she left the stage. The whole process had been under surveillance.
She didn't leave immediately because she didn't want to cause gossip.
Also, when she came over, Luke had said, "You can call me if you need anything," so Sheerah felt that she could let him investigate it.
Solving such a "valuable" case was naturally good for detectives, and it would be easier for them to get promoted and get a raise.
But that was because she didn't know much about Luke's work. After all, she was a star.
Sheerah and Luke were good friends. Naturally, she couldn't use her personal connections to investigate him. That wouldn't be good for friends.
In any case, it didn't matter if Luke couldn't solve the case.
The theft was Givenchy Jewelry's own responsibility, and NYPD certainly wouldn't take the blame. However, it would be a huge credit if they found it. It was a classic case of high reward and low risk.
Selina let Sheerah and Claire go first, so that they wouldn't waste their rest time.
Then, everybody else left with their contact information and any follow-up investigations, hoping that they could cooperate.
The supermodels weren't in the mood to listen to that, and immediately left.
What follow-up investigations? To hell with it! After today, they wouldn't cooperate with the police.
Luke had followed the route that the thief had taken, and had taken several detours.
There was no need to go through so much trouble. He could just take a shortcut.
However, after walking for about a hundred meters, his ears twitched and he turned into an alley on the side.
Then, he heard a burst of laughter coming from the depths of the alley.
The Elementary Sound Wave ability allowed him to hear the faint sounds even in the rainy night.
"I hate hooligans like you the most. You don't have any morals at all," he muttered and quickened his pace.
However, he wasn't wearing the Bat Armor right now. Otherwise, he would just give these guys a concussion and be done with it.
As he stepped forward, Luke's expression turned strange, and he quickened his pace.
…
A moment ago, in the depths of this alley, a girl was surrounded by five hooligans. One of them had already used his hand to control one of her hands and was trying to pull her other hand away from her chest.
The other four hoodlums all had mocking expressions on their faces. They did not rush forward to help, but the guns and daggers in their hands showed that they were just enjoying the fun of a cat toying with a mouse.
Five grown men dealing with a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl was no problem at all.
The gangster who did it also said something dirty. "Don't be nervous. Relax. We're the best at checking your body."
The girl was terrified, but she didn't give up resisting. "No way! Don't even think about it! "
The gangster continued to smile. "It's fine. Leave everything to me, baby."
As he spoke, he exerted force in his hand and deliberately pressed down on the girl.
The girl's expression turned even uglier and she trembled all over.
It wasn't just fear, but she was doing her best to resist the gangster's actions.
"Wow, you're so strong, baby … uh." The gangster who was enjoying the process suddenly froze and slowly lowered his head.
At the same time, he let go of the girl's hand and slowly backed away.
His companions hadn't sensed anything wrong yet, and instead jeered, "Oh, Fabi, if you can't take it, we'll go first."
But very quickly, they were stunned.
As the distance between Fabi and the girl widened, a white light that was very obvious in the night appeared between them.
At first glance, it looked like a flashlight had suddenly been switched on between them.
Fabi finally took two steps back and completely moved away from the girl.
Only then did his companions see clearly that the white light wasn't from a powerful taser as they had thought.
The girl was holding a transparent, glowing white crystal that was about ten centimeters long.
The white crystal was like a double-headed sword. It was already stained with bright red blood, and the girl's hands were all over it.
The gangsters looked at Fabi and saw that there was a sharp wound on his chest and abdomen that was bleeding.
“WTF？”
"What the hell is this?"
"She stabbed Fabi with this thing."
"B * tch, what did you do?"
The four gangsters couldn't help but exclaim.
It was also at that moment that Luke walked over and looked at everything in surprise.
The people in the alley, however, were so panicked by the sudden incident that they didn't notice that there was another person not far away.
With a thought, Luke retreated behind the dumpster to avoid the gazes of the people inside. He took out a portable combat suit that looked like a super thick laptop from his inventory and activated it.
A few seconds later, he was wrapped in the combat suit. After putting on the suit, he immediately activated the stealth function and turned into a distorted and transparent shadow.
The gangsters were shocked and terrified, but they felt a pain in the back of their heads, and their eyes rolled back as they fainted.
Then, the panicked girl also felt a slight pain in her neck, and the air in front of her seemed to distort. After a moment of confusion, she finally fainted.
In the next moment, Luke grabbed her body and sent her into Space 2.
At that moment, he crouched down to examine Fabi, who had been stabbed, and couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.
The man's injuries weren't serious. His vital organs weren't injured, and he was mainly scared silly by the pain and the bleeding.
Thinking for a moment, Luke took out a light red syringe, adjusted the syringe, and injected it into the wound on Fabi's chest and abdomen.
Two milliliters of the light red Life One in the syringe was gone. Luke put the syringe back and sighed inwardly.
If it weren't for the fear of leaving evidence and attracting investigation, these guys would've been sent to the hospital's ICU tonight, let alone use Life One.
But he had used his original self when he came in.
Safety first, he would let these five guys live in peace for a few days.
As long as Fabi's chest wasn't injured, nobody would believe what the five gangsters said.
