Elizabeth hurriedly followed him. "Can I come with you?"
Luke didn't even turn his head. "You're the one who took the case to begin with. Are you trying to skive?"
When Elizabeth heard this, she happily followed them into the villa.
She was the one who had taken the case, but it was actually Elsa who had asked her to take it and let Luke investigate it.
If Luke was greedy, he wouldn't have let her get involved. If she did, she would have to share the credit.
Earlier, Elizabeth had received a vague hint from Elsa that she had to do her best when she worked for Luke, and that he wouldn't mistreat her. Elizabeth had been a little puzzled.
At first, she thought that Luke would guide her more and keep less to himself, and that it would be a reward for her hard work.
But after a few cases, she realized that she had been overthinking things.
Luke and Selina had put in a lot of effort in those cases. After the cases were closed, she gave Luke the reports, but he simply crossed out everything about his involvement.
That way, Elizabeth and Selina would take all the credit for the cases.
She had been quite uneasy when she gave the first report to Elsa, but Elsa didn't say anything after reading it. She simply said, "Do a good job and listen to Luke."
Elizabeth immediately understood.
Luke didn't take credit for the cases; he was almost solely focused on the cases themselves.
Of course, Elizabeth knew why he dared to do that. It was because he was the most efficient person in the Major Crimes Division when it came to solving cases.
Luke naturally didn't care about the credit, but Elizabeth and Selina would remember this favor.
Luke couldn't be bothered to share the credit with Elizabeth and Selina; it wasn't even enough for him.
Besides, the system would still give him experience and credit, which meant that he had two assistants who could help him farm credit for free. How could he not be satisfied?
Elizabeth and Selina might not be able to command Luke like they were his own arms, but they would do whatever Luke asked them to do.
For example, if he asked Y'lisabet to search for information, no one could say that she was lazy if she took three to five hours to complete it. How much time was needed to search for information was never an objective question, but a subjective one.
After they entered, Y'lisabet greeted Big Sister Selina obediently.
Her goal was clear: to become a female detective who was both capable and good at fighting like Selina.
Of course, it would be even better if she had a male partner like Luke.
Luke called Thomson, the head of security, to the back garden and showed him the recorder. "I'm a bit slow, so I'm going to record your question with the recorder. Do you have any objections?"
Thomson frowned and hesitated for a moment. Looking at Jennifer's weird look, he panicked and could only nod. "Okay."
Luke said, "Okay, let's begin. How's your relationship with Manny? "
Thomson was stunned for a moment before a sorrowful expression appeared on his face. "We have a good relationship. We can be considered friends."
Luke asked, "Oh? What level of friendship? A friend who could only say hello, or a friend who could talk about everything under the sun? Or a closer friend? "
Thomson said, "We can talk occasionally. After all, we all work here."
Luke asked, "Where were you last night after midnight?"
Thomson: "Sleep in the house."
Luke asked, "You're the head of security. Don't you need to patrol?"
Thomson said, "We work in shifts. I wasn't on duty yesterday."
Luke asked, "So, you didn't go to Manny's house last night, right?"
Thomson's face was a little tense, but he said calmly, "No."
Luke nodded and said, "Okay, you can go get some rest now."
Suddenly, Luke's phone rang.
He looked at the number and walked to the side. "Hello …" After saying a few words, he looked at Thomson who had just gotten up.
Thomson, who had been uneasy, immediately noticed it and became even more uneasy. He was dazed for a moment before he came back to himself and walked away.
But he couldn't help but subconsciously turn his head to look at Luke a few times as he walked away.
Luke was on the phone and seemed to be saying something, but his eyes were fixed on Thomson the whole time.
Thomson's heart was heavy, and he had an ominous feeling.
Actually, the call that Luke received had nothing to do with him.
It was from Elsa. Morgan couldn't take it anymore, and had chosen to confess under her immense pressure.
Morgan had confessed a lot of things, but it didn't really matter whether he confessed or not.
After Luke found the blood evidence, Elsa found strong evidence from the surveillance cameras that they had brought back.
As a Beverly Hills mansion, Jennifer's place had a lot of surveillance cameras.
Morgan had been a security guard here for a long time, and he had his own ideas when he took action.
But he hadn't expected Luke and Selina's arrival in the morning, and his plan to frame Thomson had gone awry.
Now, after analyzing the surveillance cameras, it was discovered that apart from Thomson and Morgan, the other three security guards all had alibis.
So, the only person who had the time to kill Manny was either Thomson or Morgan.
It was impossible for Jennifer. Unless she was a superhuman, she wouldn't have been able to smash Manny's head so hard.
She was a big star who was famous for her acting skills, not an action star. She didn't have that kind of brutal strength when it came to bodybuilding.
Also, Jennifer and Thomson's phone calls could be used as evidence, so Morgan was the only suspect who could make a move.
The surveillance evidence alone wasn't enough to convict him. After all, nobody could prove that there were only five security guards and Jennifer in the room at the time. It was possible that someone had snuck in.
The blood evidence was the last straw. The suspicious bloodstains that Old Greyson had found could only have been caused by someone hitting someone with a stick.
Considering the two factors, Morgan wouldn't be able to get away with it unless he found a top lawyer.
Also, he didn't know that Manny was already dead when he was brought into the interrogation room.
So, he thought that he had only confessed to an assault case, and didn't know that it had turned into a murder case.
After Morgan pleaded guilty, he confessed a series of things, including the reason why he attacked Manny.
He said that Manny had heavily injured Millis, and that he was only taking revenge.
There were only three women in the room last night, and Jennifer was more fond of Millis, who was younger. It was unlikely that a big star would kill someone in person.
Only Manny, who feared that Millis would replace her as a maid, would do such a thing.
Besides, it was Manny who had found Millis unconscious in the living room.
Listening to Elsa's words and combining the information that he had found, Luke had a general idea of Morgan's intentions.
Both maids had a special relationship with Jennifer, and it was entirely possible that one of them would attack the other in a fight for Jennifer's favor.
If Luke didn't have Sharp Nose, he wouldn't have been able to rule out Manny as a suspect.
