Apart from Luke, who could make dozens of cakes in ten minutes, most police officers would snack on donuts.
After all, they were high in calories and sugar, easy to use with one hand, and very cheap.
More importantly, they were the most common 24-hour stores in the United States.
The policemen who needed to work overtime in the middle of the night became its loyal customers over time.
It was similar to some 24-hour noodle restaurants in China.
That was also the reason why Luke and Selina had come here to help with the case.
The two of them didn't enter the shop. Instead, they stood outside and watched.
The windows in the store had been shattered, including those on the street. They could see most of the details outside the store.
While they were observing the scene, a car stopped behind them. "Hi, Luke, Selina, you're here."
Luke and Selina turned around and greeted them with a smile. "Good morning, Roger, Martin."
Roger was a black man, and Martin was a handsome middle-aged white man with long hair and a sloppy beard.
Roger was the one who greeted them. He lifted the seal and gestured for everybody to enter the store. "It happened at five in the morning yesterday. Two gunmen on a motorcycle fired at this place with a nine-millimeter automatic weapon. Two customers were killed on the spot, and a clerk was slightly injured by broken glass. The assailants didn't come in. According to the clerk's statement, one of the customers was already gone by the time she called the police. This customer had been sitting at the same table as the two victims, and was a companion of one of the victims. "
Luke nodded to show that he understood.
There was general information in the case file, but Roger didn't know how much they knew, so he summarized the situation as concisely as possible.
Selina was looking at the bodies on the ground and the environment. She was speculating about the gunmen's attack.
Luke, on the other hand, was looking at the bullet holes on the wall. A moment later, he asked, "Did the forensics department run a bullet test?"
Roger said, "Yes. Two guns were fired. But … "
Luke asked, "One of the guns didn't have many bullets left?"
Roger was surprised. "Did you ask the forensics department about it?"
Luke shook his head. "No, I guessed."
At this time, a woman's voice came from the door. "Well, it seems that I'm late."
Everyone turned around and saw that it was a beautiful young Caucasian woman.
Her long hair was dyed yellow-brown and tied into a high ponytail. Her figure was tall and slender, and she was dressed in a black suit and black cropped pants.
His upper suit was only buttoned up one button, and the white shirt inside, starting from the collar, had three buttons unbuttoned, revealing a bit of his sexy collarbone.
Roger said, "Agent Palmer, you're not late. We just came a little early. These are our colleagues, Luke and Selina. They'll be helping us with the case for a few days. "
The beautiful agent named Palmer shook hands with them politely. "I'm glad you're here to help."
After that, she went straight to the point. "What did you find?"
She was asking Luke and Selina, because Roger and Selina had come to the crime scene with her yesterday. At that time, there were still two dead bodies and blood that hadn't dried yet.
Now that the bodies had been moved away, there were only a few people left. She really wanted to know what Roger and Selina could tell.
"Were there any witnesses to the shooter's operation?" asked Luke.
Roger shook his head. "No. There was an old homeless woman outside at five in the morning, but she only noticed us when she was attracted by the gunshots. She only saw someone leave the house later. That person was the only survivor of the three customers. "
Luke asked, "How long did the attack last? Someone has to know, right? "
Roger shook his head. "That old homeless woman was a little … The shop assistant was so scared that she couldn't speak properly. So, we can only estimate that it was around ten seconds. "
Luke nodded, deep in thought.
Palmer couldn't help but ask, "Is there a problem?"
Luke said, "If the shooter didn't stop the car and simply fired at us, it would be a big problem."
Martin's eyes lit up. "You figured it out?"
Luke chuckled. "There's no need to guess. You go first."
Martin had been a little taciturn. Realizing that his colleague was thinking the same thing as him, he became a little more lively. "I only figured it out after reading the forensics department's report this morning."
Roger exclaimed, "Wow! I'm your partner, and you didn't tell me? "
Martin said, "Hehe. Now that everybody's here, I only need to say it once. Only one of the two shooters was the real killer. The bullets that hit the two victims came from his gun. If the nervous shop assistant's description is correct, the attack probably lasted less than two seconds. "
Palmer found that odd. "Didn't she say that she couldn't remember?"
Martin said, "When we first asked her, she said that she felt like she had been in Afghanistan for a year, so …"
Everybody: "…"
The shop assistant had clearly been too traumatized, and couldn't remember a lot of things accurately.
At least thirty bullets had been fired in the shop, and two people had died. It would be abnormal if the shop assistant was in a normal state of mind.
"However, most of the bullets in the shop were actually fired from the same gun. They broke most of the things in the shop, but the two victims weren't hit," Martin continued.
Luke laughed out loud. "Maybe he's a master of body tracing!"
Everybody: "Huh?"
Luke shrugged. "He's the kind of person who can hit everything except the target after dozens of shots."
Looking at the situation in the shop, everybody could only agree with that.
Martin nodded. "That's right. But based on my speculation, it was indeed very difficult for the shooter to drive with one hand and shoot with the other on a motorcycle that was moving at more than fifty kilometers per hour. It's understandable that he made some mistakes. So, the person sitting behind him took action. He only fired two shots in total, and they hit the victims in the head. "
Palmer was surprised. "So accurate?"
That was shooting while moving, and hitting two targets in the head at the same time. It was far more difficult than most people could imagine.
"Yes, it's even more terrifying than you think," said Martin.
