Luke decisively began to run.
Because he had already smelled Selev's scent heading towards the back door.
Stumped for a moment, Elsa hurried to follow him.
Sally was left puzzled. "Ah, Elsa, where are you going?"
Elsa had no time to answer. She ran as fast as she could to catch up with Luke.
Luke ran faster and faster, and was out of the back door in only a few seconds. He then turned left.
By the time Elsa ran out of the back door and looked to her left, Luke had already turned into a villa.
The main road was on the right side of the back door, and the back door of several villas was on the left. So, the terrain on this path was rather complicated.
Naturally, Luke had discovered Selev's direction with his Sharp Nose, and even knew that the guy had only been running for a moment.
At that moment, his Strength was 24 and Dexterity was 20. He was astonishingly fast and agile.
In less than a minute, he saw Selev running ahead of him.
Smiling inwardly, Luke suddenly shouted, "LAPD! Selev, don't move! "
Selev ran even faster after he said that.
Luke, however, smiled and shouted again, "Selev, stop and come back with me for investigation."
If this were shown on TV, a lot of netizens would've mocked him for his nonsense.
But that wasn't actually the case.
The so-called procedural justice was basically what the American police were all about.
Once the police identified themselves, they would ask the guy to stop.
As long as the guy didn't cooperate, the police wouldn't need any evidence, and would simply arrest him.
To put it another way: Why would you run if you're not guilty? The guy who ran was definitely a criminal.
At the same time, the shout was also meant to reveal the identity of the two pursuers to passersby, or it would be hilarious if someone jumped out and tackled a police officer for a just cause.
Luke shouted a couple of times to finish the procedure he had to perform, and immediately sped up.
If he hadn't intentionally let Selev go, he wouldn't have had a chance to escape at all. However, Selev could already be arrested for running after hearing the warning.
A moment later, Luke caught up to Selev and pounced on him, knocking him to the ground.
With Agility that far exceeded Selev's, Luke jumped up again and unholstered his Glock. He aimed it at Selev. "LAPD, Selev, don't move."
Looking at the black muzzle, Selev didn't dare to move anymore.
He had a gun with him.
Just now, he had continued to run despite Luke's warning. If he moved again, Luke could simply shoot him dead.
As long as he said in his report that he suspected Luke of trying to resist arrest, Luke wouldn't be in any trouble.
More importantly, Selev knew that he had done something stupid.
On the news yesterday, the director of the Westside Police Department said that they had found the murderer, but due to the need of the case, they had to keep it a secret for the time being. Selev's heart was pounding.
He had actually been in the house when Luke and Elsa came over this morning, but he had been hiding at the back door out of guilt.
When he heard that they were here for him, Selev immediately started to run.
Luke didn't step forward. Instead, he told Selev to lie down slowly and put his hands on his head.
Selev had no choice but to obey.
At this time, Elsa rushed over, panting. She immediately understood what was going on and took out her gun, aiming at Selev.
Selev was a bodyguard with a gun, so she didn't dare to be careless.
After aiming, she said, "Selev, you're under arrest. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say to any police officer may be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to consult a lawyer before you're questioned by the police … "
Well, this is also necessary procedural justice, the most common line uttered by the American police, the famous Miranda warning.
As she spoke, Elsa gestured at Luke.
Luke nodded and put his gun back into its holster. He then pounced on Selev and cuffed his hands behind his back.
Dragging the guy up from the ground, Elsa smiled mysteriously. "Selev, if you want to live, you'll have to cooperate with us obediently."
Selev didn't say anything.
Elsa didn't say anything else. This wasn't the right place for an interrogation.
The two of them brought Selev back to the villa, and Sally was quite surprised. "Huh? Elsa, why did you catch Selev?"
Elsa didn't reply. Instead, she said, "Sally, come with us. We need your help with the investigation on Selev."
Sally nodded blankly.
This time, Sally sat in the passenger seat, while Luke and Selev sat in the backseat.
Selev was panic-stricken, and his feet were shaking uncontrollably.
Observing the bodyguard, Luke shook his head inwardly. Wasn't this a classic case of suicide?
If his guess was correct, Selev definitely had something to do with Sergei's fat son appearing in Katie's villa.
That was why Sergei's fat son was killed, and why Sergei had taken out his anger on Katie.
It was safe to say that Selev, as an unreliable bodyguard, was behind the whole case.
After they arrived at the police department, Elsa spoke in person, and Selev's expression changed drastically. Finally, he gave up on calling a lawyer and simply confessed to Sergei's fat son's death.
As it turned out, Sergei's fat son was different from his father. He was born a loner and timid, and naturally became a shut-in when he grew up.
Disappointed in him, Sergei simply left him to his own devices.
In any case, the fat son would've been able to live the rest of his life in peace.
Originally, this fat son could live a safe and sound life. Sergei had already set up a fund for this unreliable son, giving him a monthly allowance to support him until he died of old age.
But the fat son suddenly fell in love with Katie, who was young and sexy, and that was when the tragedy began.
The fat son tried everything he could to get close to Katie, but he didn't have any good ideas. His clumsy body made it difficult for him to chase after a star.
As he missed Katie so much, the fat son finally remembered his father, or rather, his father's deterrent power.
After much effort, he got Selev's contact number, and asked to visit Katie's villa.
Selev didn't want to do it at first, but Fat Otaku was very aggressive this time. He mentioned his father directly.
Selev had worked for Sergei for a period of time, so he knew how brutal Sergei could be.
Besides, the fat son didn't ask for much. He only wanted to take photos in the villa at night and touch Katie's used items.
That was right. The fat son didn't ask to meet Katie. He only wanted to lie down where Katie had been and take photos.
Selev agreed in the end, but he wasn't that stupid.
He only said that he would open the back door one night. He didn't care what the fat son did, but if Katie noticed anything, he would throw the fat son out as a bodyguard.
