Elizabeth said, "Luke, there's something strange about the woman on the bench in Wever Community."
Luke asked, "What's wrong?"
Elizabeth said, "Do you remember the case where a new resident in Wever reported a ghost?"
Luke asked, "Is there a connection?"
Elizabeth said, "If I'm not mistaken, the woman on the bench … seems to be the mother of the missing girl."
Luke was stumped for a moment. "The one who died of a heart attack?"
Elizabeth said, "Yes. We're asking forensics to take her fingerprints and DNA, as well as dental records. "
Luke rubbed his chin. "Keep an eye on her and let me know if there's anything else."
After hanging up, Selina asked, "What's wrong?"
Luke patted her head and said, "I feel like you've missed out on a billion dollars."
Selina shook her head in dissatisfaction and refused to pat his head. "Just say it, but don't touch me."
Luke said, "The body that Elizabeth found on the bench looks a lot like the mother who died of illness in my case."
Selina thought for a moment, and her eyes widened. "Are you talking about the mother who died a year ago?"
Luke nodded and asked, "Now, which case should we work on first?"
Selina hesitated for a moment, but turned down his temptation. "I'll follow Jennifer's case first, and then learn more about your case."
Luke was lost for words. She really wasn't letting go of either side!
That made sense. That was Jennifer Perry! She was a top actress in Hollywood and a world-class star. That second-rate Katie Holmes from before couldn't compare to her.
Jennifer's fall at the party would be more eye-catching than Katie Holmes dying in the pool.
Luke let Selina be, and didn't look at the case file for his own case.
He couldn't figure out much until there was new information. Whatever he wanted to do, he had to wait until the identity of the female body was confirmed.
Turning his attention back to Jennifer's case, he read the file for a moment and smiled. "Is this celebrity's home in the middle of nowhere in Texas? A maid was lying in the living room bleeding all over the floor, and she wasn't discovered until several hours later. Is her security guard as good as Selev's? It's not easy for her to survive until now. "(Note: Selev, the bodyguard of the starlet Katie.)
Selina nodded. "The security guards said that unless it's an emergency, they don't have the authority to enter the house at night, so you understand."
Luke said, "You're saying that this room is actually a secret room, and nobody knows what happened inside except for the people inside, right?"
Selina said, "Yes, and there were only three people in the villa that night — Millis, the heavily wounded maid, Manny, another maid, and Jennifer, our big star."
Luke laughed when he heard that. "That's great. As long as we randomly point, there's a 50% chance that we'll be able to identify the murderer? Uh, okay, I take it back. "
Looking at the close-up photo of the heavily injured maid's head and the preliminary diagnosis from the hospital, he changed his mind a little.
He turned back and looked at the basic information in front of him. Then, he looked at the pictures of the crime scene. After a moment of simulation in his mind, he shook his head slightly. "You didn't find the murder weapon?"
Selina didn't even raise her head. "No, I haven't found anything in the house that matches."
"Jennifer and Manny don't seem to be very strong, do they?" asked Luke.
Selina nodded, then shook her head. "Jennifer's body is very ordinary. She's healthy at best. Manny doesn't have detailed information yet. We'll have to confirm it with our own eyes. "
"If Manny wasn't a professional, it wouldn't have been easy for her to break Millis's skull like that." Luke narrowed his eyes and threw the case file back. "Let's go take a look at the big star's house."
Selina was surprised. "We're going out now?"
But she immediately came back to her senses, quickly packed up the files, and put them into her handbag. "Okay, let's go."
Selina had to be more innocent. Seeing Luke's expression, she finally remembered why she had listened to Elsa and stayed in the police department.
Bullseye had just been on the run after being beaten up last night. Did they need to care about Bullseye?
At the very least, she didn't need to when she was with Luke.
The two of them drove to Jennifer Perry's address in Beverly Hills.
Selina's eyes glowed as she looked at the mansion in front of the real superstar's house. "Luke, do you think there's … Well, forget I asked."
Looking at the big villa in front of her, she remembered the old butler with the London accent and the fantasy of hundreds of maids.
However, according to the affidavits she had read earlier, there were only two permanent maids in the mansion, and the rest were hourly workers who would leave after cleaning and tidying up the place once a day.
Luke pressed a button on the door and said, "LAPD, Major Crimes Division of Westside Police Department. I'm Detective Luke, and this is Detective Selina. We're here about Millis's serious injury last night. "
As he spoke, he opened his wallet and showed Selina his badge. Selina did the same.
A moment later, the system said, "Please wait a moment." Then, it fell silent.
Ten minutes later, Selina finally couldn't take it anymore. She turned her head in surprise and asked, "What's the meaning of this?"
Luke chuckled. "The first time I went to Katie's place with Elsa, we had to wait for a long time, before the maid ran out screaming and told us that Katie was already dead."
Selina chuckled. "How can there be such a coincidence …"
The iron gate suddenly opened, and the male voice came from inside. Now, his voice was very nervous. "Detectives, please come in quickly. Manny has been attacked."
Selina: ⊙ o ⊙!
Luke: ⊙ _ ⊙!
After the two of them entered the big villa, it was chaotic inside.
Luke's face was dark, and Selina was dumbfounded.
Luke roared, "LAPD! Stop right now! "
Everybody was stunned and looked at Luke and Selina.
Luke said coldly, "Miss Jennifer Perry, you stay here. The first person who found the victim stays here. Everybody else, stay outside. Don't talk or call anyone, got it?"
Everybody looked at each other in bewilderment. A moment later, a beautiful woman with long brown hair waved her hand and said, "Listen to this … detective."
Luke finally looked at her. "Miss Perry, have you called an ambulance?"
Jennifer said, "I have."
Luke nodded and gave Selina a meaningful look.
She immediately got the hint. She quietly walked to the window and took out a Luke phone. She turned on the radio function and aimed it at the four security guards in the hallway.
