Elsa and Luke were no longer partners, but they were still a team. They could work on more cases, and their abilities wouldn't be wasted.
William Johnson's case was basically solved.
Thanks to Luke's reminder, Elsa soon found an important lead.
Using the blood left behind by the female shooter, it was proved that the female shooter and the college student who died of a suspected overdose weren't strangers, but biological sisters.
In the end, they found out that the shooter was the older sister who went missing when she was young, and the college student was the younger sister.
There was no telling how they reunited, but the younger sister, who was studying at USC, ended up living in the apartment that her older sister, Rebecca, had rented.
Recently, William had acquired the ownership of the apartment through certain channels, and tried to kick Rebecca out, who had signed a long-term lease on the apartment.
But Rebecca was only paying the rent, and didn't live in the apartment.
For some reason, William sent his thugs to kill Rebecca's younger sister and make it look like she had overdosed.
When Rebecca discovered her younger sister's death, she naturally wouldn't take it lying down. She simply found William and shot the man who killed her sister.
In fact, after William's death, two other thugs in his gang died one after another. They were also shot in the head in their own apartment.
One of them died the day after William's death, and the other died the previous morning.
Nobody had connected the cases before. Now that Luke had pointed it out, Elsa collected the information and analyzed it quickly. Finally, she had a general idea of the murders that involved so many people.
Luke and Elsa even guessed why Rebecca, the female shooter, had shown up in the apartment building yesterday.
Perhaps, the shooter had returned to the apartment to pay her respects to her dead sister, and to put her soul to rest with the blood and life of the man who killed her.
Dustin didn't say much about the case. He simply gave a few words of praise and left it at that.
After all, Rebecca had disappeared again, and William and his two subordinates didn't die in vain. It wasn't a bad idea to close the case.
As for Rebecca, all they had to do was send her information to the criminal database and put a warrant on her head.
It was impossible to specifically send someone to capture Rebecca.
Dustin learned Luke's assessment of Rebecca's capabilities. He didn't want his subordinates to die for someone like William, so he simply issued a warrant.
After a busy week, Luke and Selina found Elsa together.
Hearing his words, Elsa raised her head from the files on the table with a 'are you f * cking kidding me' expression. "What did you say?"
Luke smiled. "I'm asking for leave, boss."
Elsa leaned against the back of the chair. "Don't you know how busy we are now?"
Luke nodded. "Yes, but I want to visit my uncle. He's in Las Vegas, so I won't be long. "
Elsa rubbed her forehead. "Do you have to go?"
Luke stuck out one finger. "We're taking two days off this weekend anyway, so we only need one day off."
Lost for words, Elsa searched the table for a moment and said, "Well, since you're going there, let's go to the forensics center over there and bring back the results of these cases."
Luke asked, "Does this count as a business trip?"
Elsa rolled her eyes. "In your dreams! If you don't want to do it, I'll hand it over to the boss and arrange for someone to go get it. "
Luke shrugged. "Okay. Do you want me to bring back a souvenir for you?"
Elsa glared at him. "What souvenirs can there be? Chips?"
Luke laughed. "I can bring you sunglasses. I heard that the sun is strong there."
Elsa was lost for words. "… Get lost! Remember, I'll deduct two days off for every day you're late. "
Luke raised his hand and saluted. "Yes, sir!"
The next day was Saturday. Luke came to the police department early in the morning and wandered around before he decisively skipped work.
Leaving Selina behind to deal with some errands in the department, Luke and Selina would fly to Las Vegas in the afternoon.
It would take him more than three hours to cover the 430 kilometers, but Luke was too lazy to drive.
It would only take an hour to get there by plane. As long as he booked the tickets in advance, it would take him four hours at most.
After Luke got home, he finished his preparations and finally added the last stat point.
40 Strength!
In an instant, an unimaginable pain appeared. The muscles all over his body seemed to be twisting and knotting, as if they were burning and melting.
Biting the towel in his mouth, Luke roared, "Damn it! I knew it wouldn't be so easy! Ahhhhh! "
When the three basic attributes reached 20 points, there would be a violent increase, and the increase coefficient would become 2. The actual effect would be twice as strong as before.
What about 40 basic stats? Considering that Elementary Self-Healing required 40 Strength, Luke could guess what would happen.
He screamed miserably for almost an hour before he finally got over the most painful part of it.
The discomfort was still strong, but it wasn't enough for him to scream uncontrollably. Still, he grimaced in pain every now and then.
He couldn't just lie there like that.
In the last hour, Luke knew that his body fat percentage had dropped again, but he wasn't happy at all.
It was obvious to the naked eye that his body fat had dropped. His previously smooth skin was now shriveled. Clearly, the fat was being consumed at a crazy rate.
Gritting his teeth and enduring the pain in his muscles, Luke gobbled down the food that had been prepared in advance.
Also, he injected the nutrient fluid that he had specially made into his blood to nourish his body, which had almost been drained.
Then, he started to feel pain again.
This time, the strengthening process wasn't over. The most intense first wave was still going on. He had caught his breath earlier because there wasn't much energy left in his body, and Daddy System had automatically slowed down the strengthening process.
But now that a lot of nutrients had entered his body, the strengthening process was immediately active again, but it was much less painful than at the beginning.
Luke could only grit his teeth and eat like crazy, turning the pain into appetite.
Eating and drinking, and injecting the nutrient fluid nonstop, the first stage of the strengthening process was finally over five hours later.
Luke almost cried.
That was too f * cking terrifying! The whole process was like torture, and he couldn't even faint.
Even more frightening, he had to stay awake and eat like crazy to maintain the substance and energy needed for the strengthening process.
During this period, Luke went to the bathroom five or six times.
When his Strength reached 20, he only went to the bathroom once or twice.
