They didn't have any urgent cases to deal with today. In the morning, they went to investigate a jewelry theft at a certain villa.
Because the jewelry was very valuable, it was considered a robbery, and was handed over to the best team in the Major Crimes Division.
In this country of money, the rich always had special privileges.
After going to the villa to ask about the situation, the two of them went for lunch.
In the afternoon, they went to the shooting range to practice. The thief wouldn't get much of a sentence, and nobody was hurt. They weren't in a hurry.
After two hours of practice, they left the shooting range. They were about to get into their car, when Luke's phone rang.
Looking at the number, he picked it up in surprise. "Greyson, what's up?"
Old Greyson was much busier than he was, and they barely talked on the phone.
Unlike Robert and Catherine, who would contact him on the phone almost every three to five days to talk about their respective situations.
After a brief silence, Old Greyson finally asked, "Do you know Todd?"
Luke was stumped for a moment. "Yes, I just met him recently."
Old Greyson was also stumped for a moment. A moment later, he said, "I … need your help."
Luke said, "What is it?"
Old Greyson said, "I have a friend who just took a plane to Los Angeles. She might be looking for Todd."
Luke was stunned. "What?" What kind of development was that?
After subconsciously being surprised, he immediately asked, "Her?"
Old Greyson said, "Yes. So, you have to stop her at the airport. I'm on my way. "
Luke said, "Fine. Her full name is …"
An hour later, Luke called Old Greyson in his car. "Greyson, your friend isn't on the plane, although she did book the ticket."
Old Greyson said, "… She might be looking for Todd."
Luke couldn't help but ask, "Why?"
Old Greyson said, "She suspects that Todd killed her sister."
Luke asked, "What? Who's her sister? "
"Sarah Poch. An actress, "replied Old Greyson.
Luke said, "… So, it's her. Fine, I know about the case. I was actually investigating it a few days ago. So, why would your friend think that Todd killed Sharan? "
Only Elsa's team knew that Todd was the prime suspect, and it hadn't been made public.
Shallan's sister should be in Las Vegas. How did she know about this?
Old Greyson: "… She saw the letters and videotapes her sister sent, which mentioned those things."
Luke was lost for words. What a coincidence.
He thought for a moment and said to Old Greyson, "Don't worry. I'll keep an eye on the Totters. I won't let your friend do anything irreversible."
Old Greyson said, "Thanks. Send me Todd's address. I'll be there in two hours at most. "
Hanging up the phone, he saw that Selina was already searching for Todd's information. He read, "Todd … Uh, is resting at home today? Is it because of the diarrhea caused by food poisoning yesterday? "
Luke found that odd. "You can even find that out?"
Selina said, "He had a stomachache when he was eating in the restaurant yesterday. He argued with the chef and even got physical, so the restaurant called the police."
Pondering for a moment, Luke vaguely realized what was going on.
Todd wasn't having bad luck, was he?
He asked casually, "Is it the restaurant's problem?"
Selina shook her head. "I'm not sure yet. But there weren't any cases of diarrhea in the restaurant that day except for Todd. "
Luke smiled and said, "So you're saying that we just need to keep an eye on Mr. Todd's house?"
Such an unlucky guy would still get into trouble even if he was just sitting at home!
For example … a certain sister who was coming for revenge!
Luke and Selina went to Todd's house, which was also in Beverly Hills.
Although it wasn't a mansion, it was quite extravagant for a screenwriter to live in a villa that cost three to four million dollars.
Of course, Todd was an author himself, and his horror novels were of a certain standard and reputation.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been chosen by Pierce, the great director, and thus entered the film industry, becoming Pierce's exclusive screenwriter and assistant director.
It was already dusk, and the sky was dark.
Luke and Selina drove around Todd's house and set up four surveillance cameras. Then, they parked the car dozens of meters away from Todd's house and waited.
As the sky slowly darkened, a woman stopped her car in front of Todd's house.
She rang the doorbell, and the iron gate was soon opened.
Luke and Selina looked at each other in surprise. "Why did Todd let her in?"
They had seen the woman's photo in the afternoon. She was Old Greyson's "friend."
Luke thought for a moment and said, "I'll go in and take a look. You stay here and keep an eye on the cameras. Let me know if anything happens."
Selina nodded.
Luke quickly got out of the car and crossed the street. He put on gloves and a new pair of shoes.
He then turned on the electronic surveillance function, bypassed the few surveillance cameras, and easily entered Todd's house through a low wall.
There were a lot of police officers patrolling this area. Most repeat thieves wouldn't commit crimes here.
It was too easy to be caught, and they would be kicked out as soon as they entered.
So, most of the walls in these areas weren't too high, and most of the surveillance cameras were alarm systems installed inside the house.
Once something happened, the local police officers would show up at the door in five minutes at most.
That was how the rich were treated.
Because of that, Luke was able to sneak in easily.
Todd lived alone. He used to have a wife, but they were divorced long ago. It was said that his wife couldn't stand his weird temper either.
Luke wasn't in a hurry.
Old Greyson's friend didn't seem to be in a hurry. She wasn't carrying any guns or knives, but he smelled a rope that he was quite familiar with.
It seemed to be some kind of rough rope from the ranch. It was the same rope that had been used to hang Sarah Poch.
Luke squeezed the door, only to find that it was locked.
He suddenly took out a small tool and stuck it into the keyhole. A moment later, the door opened with a click.
Basic Theft was just that convenient.
Entering the room, Luke observed the environment unhurriedly.
When he reached the edge of the hall, he stopped, and a camera appeared in his hand.
A good show was taking place on the couch in the living room seven meters away.
Todd's face was pale. "Where's Dr. Burley? Why isn't he here? "
The woman in a nurse's uniform said with a gentle smile, "He had an emergency patient, and asked me to come here for now. He said that your condition isn't serious, so he gave you this shot first. If you don't get better tomorrow, you can go to the hospital. "
