Then, where was the evidence?
Luke thought for a moment and led Y'lisabet into the house.
As they walked, he asked, "Elizabeth, how's your case going?"
Y'lisabet said in a low voice behind him, "It's really weird. That body … really is the mother. "
Luke paused, not expecting that answer. "Don't be hasty. That case isn't simple. Let's finish the case here first, and then we'll check out the lifelike body that's been dead for a year. "
Y'lisabet nodded. She had no doubt that Luke would finish the case today.
Luke didn't stop talking as he walked. "What can you think of about the case here? For example, how do we find evidence that Thomson did it? "
Y'lisabet knew that Luke was using this case to train her abilities. She immediately frowned and thought.
She had just investigated Thomson. There were a lot of suspicious points about him, but there was no evidence that could prove that he had attacked Millis.
There were no fingerprints, no blood, no witnesses, no surveillance cameras, nothing.
Even if he had lied, it couldn't prove that he had done anything.
Thinking for a moment, she had an idea. "The crime scene. Millis was found in the living room, but according to the preliminary investigation, the living room is too neat to be a crime scene. "
Luke nodded slightly. "Then what?"
Y'lisabet asked, "Could she have been in her own room?"
Luke nodded again, but then shook his head. "The forensic scientists who came last night didn't find anything in Millis's room either."
Y'lisabet frowned. "Did they miss any leads?"
Luke said, "That's possible. Do you have any other ideas? "
As he said that, he and Y'lisabet stood between the red and blue doors.
Y'lisabet looked around and suddenly realized something. "Manny's room?"
Luke smiled. "Yes, that's at least one possibility. Come on, let's take a look. "
They entered the room and observed Manny's room.
Y'lisabet felt that something was wrong after her discussion with Luke. "That's not right. Why does it feel like …"
Luke said, "It feels like it's been cleaned up."
The room wasn't completely tidy, but the things in it were arranged neatly, as if someone had just cleaned them up.
The two of them looked around the room.
Manny was a woman, and not an obsessive-compulsive woman. She had a lot of things in her house.
Although it wasn't dirty or messy, there were all kinds of fancy things. Just perfume, cosmetics, and bits and pieces of clothing, accessories, and shoes were placed everywhere.
Y'lisabet took a few glances and clicked her tongue in wonder. "Wow, being a maid is so lucrative? How could he afford Dior perfume? Let me see. This is the one that came out last year. It's suitable for youthful and mature women. Yes, it did suit Manny. These two are from this year. One is for mature women, and the other is for … young girls? "
Luke looked around the room and asked, "She's only 24. She can be considered a girl, right?"
Y'lisabet was silent for a moment. She still couldn't stand the ridiculous statement of "a 24-year-old girl". "But this perfume is only suitable for girls in their early twenties. Even a 22-year-old girl is barely suitable, unless she was born with a baby face. Looking at her other perfumes, she doesn't seem like someone who would pick the wrong perfume. "
Luke said, "Maybe she suddenly feels that she can't be any more mature, and wants to be younger."
Y'lisabet said, "Well, that's indeed possible."
Luke asked, "Anything else?" He felt that Manny might have indeed felt threatened by Millis.
Millis was only twenty, and much younger than Manny.
The perfume was clearly more suitable for Millis, but Manny had bought one. It was obvious what she meant.
Wait! Something wasn't right!
Luke's expression changed. He walked over to the bottle of perfume and sniffed it.
With Sharp Nose, he detected a faint scent of Thomson and Millis on the perfume bottle, but not Manny's.
That was interesting.
Logically speaking, Manny hadn't touched the perfume on Manny's dresser, but Millis and Thomson had.
Also, the perfume smelled familiar. He seemed to have smelled it in Jennifer's room before, but it had been mixed with other perfumes and was very thin, so Luke hadn't paid much attention to it.
Now that the whole bottle was in front of him, Luke sensed that something wasn't right.
After carefully examining the perfume for a moment, he said, "Y'lisabet, take a closer look. Is there anything else in this room that doesn't fit Manny's style?"
Y'lisabet looked around again, and suddenly saw something. "I don't think Manny would like the style of this piece. Also, it doesn't fit in here, does it? "
It was an elegant piece of art. There was an abstract sculpture on a black square pedestal, and it had been placed in a box next to the vanity mirror.
Luke looked at it and found it familiar. A moment later, he remembered that there was an identical piece of art in the corner of Jennifer's bedroom.
He didn't touch it immediately, but simply activated Sharp Nose.
Like the perfume bottle, this thing only had the scents of Millis and Thomson, and Thomson's scent was also very faint. Clearly, he had only touched it briefly.
At the same time, Luke smelled something else in the piece, which didn't seem to belong to the material of the piece itself.
He took out a pair of gloves and observed the piece carefully for a moment. Eventually, he pressed something through the gloves, and a piece of the pedestal fell off.
Y'lisabet exclaimed, "Wow, there's a … camera in there?" She was slightly surprised.
After the material on the base was loosened, the entire base was empty, and there was a small video camera inside.
Luke took the camera out, only to find that it had run out of battery.
"Lisa, go to Millis's room and see if there's a charger for the camera," said Luke.
Y'lisabet immediately went to the opposite room and returned a moment later with a charger.
Luke plugged it in and turned on the playback function on the camera.
It was Millis's voice. "Well, Manny, I'm going to teach you a lesson this time! Haha, with all these things, Jennifer will listen to me. You son of a b * tch, you're wasting your time. All of Jennifer's money will be mine, haha! "
Y'lisabet was dumbfounded. Wasn't this insider information too shocking? The two maids were secretly fighting over Jennifer's money, and even using a camera.
But a few seconds later, there was a dull thud, and Millis disappeared from the camera.
