If Polk had asked for help because he couldn't solve the case, wouldn't that prove that his police department was incapable? Then shouldn't he retire early and enjoy his old age?
Thinking that, Polk nodded. "Let's do that. I'll call Headmaster Sibury and tell him that you're my nieces and nephews who just moved here. He'll show you around the school. How does that sound? "
Luke and Selina agreed with a smile and expressed their gratitude again.
It was common practice in America for foreigners to go to a school for a couple of days to get a feel for the environment and the quality of the education, and then decide whether or not to go to school there.
Luke and Selina didn't even change their names. After all, it was normal for cousins to have different last names.
When Polk made the call, Selina chuckled and looked at Luke. "Why don't you call me sister first?"
Luke said, "Okay, old sister!"
There was nothing wrong with the way he addressed her, but Selina glared at him angrily. "Can you stop emphasizing the word 'old'?"
"Got it, old sister! No problem, old sister! "Luke continued asking for trouble.
Selina was about to lunge at him, when Polk turned around and said, "Alright, Luke and Selina, you can go to Headmaster Sibury. He'll make things easier for you. "Selina almost jumped at him, but Polk turned around and said," Alright, Luke and Selina.
You can go to Headmaster Sibury in the evening. He'll make things easier for you. "
The two of them would only go to Polk's house in the evening. Under the guise of visiting the elders, they would read the files and learn more about the relevant information.
Luke and Selina didn't go to Polk's house until the evening. They would read the files and learn more about the case under the guise of visiting a senior.
There were also several interview vans from TV stations around the school, and a few anchors were blindly gesticulating. Luke shook his head inwardly.
This case was really going to get out of hand.
They went to Headmaster Sibury, who was clearly having a headache over the murders, because the two dead students, the suspect, and the girl who had escaped were all high school students in his school.
It was a nightmare.
If Polk hadn't asked him to take care of them and make things easier for them, Sibury wouldn't have come to see them at all.
After listening to the two of them, Siberia immediately agreed.
It was just a P.E. teacher for a few days and a follower for a few days. It wasn't like they were official students. A temporary ID would do.
Sibury called his secretary over, said a few words, and then asked the two of them to follow the secretary to get the temporary documents.
Half an hour later, the two of them said goodbye to the auntie who had prepared their IDs for them. Carrying the IDs in front of their chests, they wandered around the campus.
The two of them entered the school as a trial, so they weren't assigned any classes.
Even Selina didn't need to teach anyone. She only needed to observe how the other teachers were teaching.
It was the same for Luke. He could sit in on all the twelfth grade classes.
Of course, as long as the two of them showed their temporary IDs, no one would care.
Selina was very satisfied. "Hmm, hmm. Darling, you're so smart. It's very convenient to have an identity that won't easily arouse suspicion."
Luke asked, "What do you want to say?" A person who was called darling usually had something to ask.
Selina asked, "Shouldn't we eat?"
Luke checked the time and saw that it was indeed noon.
Just then, the bell rang, and the campus began to bustle. Then, a large number of students rushed out of the teaching building, then into intermittent groups, and finally, a small number of people walked slowly alone.
Looking around the teaching building, Luke suddenly nodded. "Let's go over there for lunch."
They returned to the car and took out a box that contained a lot of delicious food.
When Luke and Selina left Los Angeles, they took a detour back home to freeze everything that could be refrigerated, and packed up the leftovers they had made last night for lunch.
The two of them walked to a pond directly opposite the teaching building's exit, sat there, and picked up their own food to eat.
The fountain was twenty meters away from the teaching building, and the warm February sun made them feel warm all over.
They were surrounded by green trees and flowers that had bloomed early. There were many birds chirping in the trees in this small town that was located in a mountain basin. It was a peaceful and tranquil atmosphere.
Luke and Selina took off their jackets and were only wearing T-shirts and shirts underneath. They didn't look much different from the students around them.
Not everybody went home after school.
There were a lot of students whose parents were busy with work and didn't have time to cook. Some of the teachers and their families who were slacking off were also scattered around, having lunch at a suitable place and chatting to kill time.
At the fountain where Luke and Selina were sitting, there were more than ten people sitting on the tables around it.
The fountain was very big, and there was some distance between them.
On the long side of the fountain on Luke's left were four students, two boys and two girls, who were talking about something.
Two of the boys and one of the girls looked relaxed, but the girl didn't look very happy.
Selina had also noticed their conversation. She gave Luke a questioning look, only to receive a slight shake of his head.
There was no need to ask. They would be able to learn a lot from their idle chatter.
The four of them were obviously very close friends, and they dared to talk about anything.
Soon, Selina glanced at Luke again, as if to say, "How did you know that they would be talking about the case here?"
Luke shrugged. "I don't know, but it's not important."
Among the students, the one with a gloomy expression was Sid Prescott, who had just escaped and sent her boyfriend, Billy, to the police station's detention center.
Also, a year ago, it was her testimony that sent another suspect, Cotton, to prison, awaiting a death sentence. That time, the victim was her mother.
This girl was the center of this incident.
As for the boy and the girl who had died earlier, even if the girl, Cathy, was Deputy Director Condra's niece, it seemed more like an appetizer for a massacre.
Luke didn't even ask the girl's parents, even if the mother was Deputy Director Condra's sister.
If there were any important clues, the police in the town would've noticed them a long time ago.
His investigation wasn't based on the words of the victims' families, but on solid evidence, such as — smell.
For Luke, the last thing he was afraid of was a serial killer who involved multiple people, because the killer's scent couldn't be hidden from his Sharp Nose.
After his Strength reached 40, his physical attributes had been greatly improved, and his Sharp Nose ability had also improved. His sensitivity, accuracy, and control had all improved.
This so-called serial killer couldn't be hidden at all.
