Luke said, "So, I want you to ask Lady Heather if her sister mentioned that Todd killed Kelly. I think Kelly might be Todd's ex-wife. "
Old Greyson: "Got it."
Luke didn't think much of it and put the phone away.
Half an hour later, Old Greyson sent a message: There's a cellar in the basement of Todd's house that was sealed in the last two years.
Luke: Got it.
Looking at the ambulance that rushed over and the medical staff that alighted from it, he turned his head and said to the back of the big truck, "Sigh, it turns out that luck really can be bad."
Feeling a little disappointed, he walked towards his car.
Selina said to him, "Alright, let's call it a day. I've already handed over the hospital and the police station."
Luke relaxed. Finally, he didn't have to waste too much time explaining. "What do you want to eat tonight?"
Selina said, "Barbecue. The ones that are small and cook faster. The ones that come in small skewers."
Luke was amused. "Okay, let's buy groceries and go home. Do you eat enoki mushrooms? "
Selina asked, "Can that thing be roasted?"
Luke said, "Of course. It's a mushroom, after all."
Selina said, "Then I want to eat it."
…
After the barbecue, Selina did the dishes and did some digestion training, while Luke went out to talk to Secretary Jenny.
Men said that they would talk for two days, so they shouldn't waste time.
At midnight, Luke received a call from Old Greyson.
He walked to the balcony. "Hey, what's up?"
Old Greyson said, "No, but I want to take her back as soon as possible."
Luke thought for a moment and asked, "Ask her if she wants to sue Todd for compensation for Sarah. If she needed to, she'd better find evidence to sue as soon as possible. After all, I'll report Todd's ex-wife's case tomorrow. "
Todd is dead, but his property is still there.
As Shalan's older sister, Madam Heather should have the right to sue.
Once it was proven that he killed Sharan, Sharan's relatives would naturally receive a large sum of money from these properties.
If she didn't, Todd's money would go to the relatives of his ex-wife, Kelly, and that would be a big problem.
After a brief silence, Old Greyson said, "Okay, I'll tell her. And … thank you. "
Luke said, "Um, can I ask you a question? She and you … Forget it, bye."
As soon as he started speaking, he felt that he had gone overboard.
So far, Old Greyson hadn't asked him anything personal, not even Selina, who had been to Las Vegas with him.
It was clearly inappropriate for Luke to ask such a question.
If anything happened, Old Greyson would've introduced her as his girlfriend (wife) without any hesitation.
The next day, Luke and Selina went to Elsa after work and told her what happened last night.
Of course, they only said that they had received a message from an informant and wanted to ask Todd about it.
Elsa looked at his face. "So, what's the clue?"
She wouldn't ask who the informant was, nor would she tell Luke who her informant was.
This was a detective's personal relationship. The more people who knew about it, the more dangerous the informant would be.
Luke said, "Todd probably killed his ex-wife, Kelly, and buried her in cement in the cellar of his house."
Elsa was stunned. "Holy sh * t! Is this guy that ruthless? "
She trusted Luke a lot. He rarely spoke carelessly, and most of the time, his words would come true.
"Are you going to follow up on this case?" she asked.
Luke quickly shook his head. "Boss, if your new partner is free, let him get some exercise."
Elsa rolled her eyes. "Okay, I'll remind Simmons to bring more plastic bags."
Luke gave her a thumbs-up and left.
What were plastic bags for? Of course, they were for catching vomit.
Todd had been single for years, and his ex-wife had been missing for a few years.
Luke didn't want to take another look at a corpse that had been buried for years.
After successfully shifting the blame, Luke's phone rang after he left the house.
He looked at the number and picked up the call. "Hello, Jennifer. What can I do for you?"
Jennifer hesitated for a moment before she said, "Here's the thing. I've hired a new security team, but I'd like you to check on them for me."
Luke thought for a moment, then agreed.
They had only donated two million dollars, and wouldn't go back on their word in a few days. It wouldn't hurt for him to check on them.
After notifying Elsa, they went to Jennifer's place.
After entering, Jennifer received the two of them in the backyard. After the maid served them drinks and left, she said, "I'm sorry to trouble you to come here, but I … Ever since what happened a few days ago, I've been feeling uneasy. So, I'd like you to help me check on the security system here and see if there are any loopholes, and if there are any of these people who might cause problems. "
Luke was lost for words for a moment, before he said, "Jennifer, you might have misunderstood something. We're detectives, and we haven't received witness protection training. We can't be more professional than real security guards. Even if there are loopholes in the security system, we might not be able to detect them. "
Jennifer was at a loss. "Huh? But I think you're very good. You found evidence of Thomson's crime in just a few moments. "
Luke was amused. "Solving a case is different from protecting important people. I really can't help you with that."
He thought for a moment, then said, "How about this? I know someone who's very good at this."
Jennifer asked, "Your colleague?"
Luke shook his head. "Do you know Sheerah?"
Frowning, Jennifer thought for a moment. "The singer?"
Luke nodded. "Yes. She hired a bunch of professionals to guard her concert last time, and one of them is called Brian. He's very good. If you want, I can ask for his contact information. "
Jennifer was still worried. "You don't know them, do you?"
Luke chuckled. "Brian and his team are very professional. Also, they're temporary. Hire them to do a check on your security. You'll be more reassured that way, won't you? "
Jennifer got the gist of it.
Actually, it was just like finding a good third party to do the inspection, which wasn't unusual.
More importantly, she wasn't sure which third party was professional, which was why she wanted to ask Luke.
After a brief hesitation, Jennifer agreed.
Luke called Sheerah and asked about Brian's team. They were indeed professional, and the fees were very high.
Last time, Sheerah had hired them for security for the concert, and they had spent tens of thousands of dollars.
And that was because Sheerah was acquainted with one of the team members, and had given them a discount.
Brian's team was also very selective. They barely took on security jobs that were too troublesome and time-consuming, and only took on short-term, quick jobs.
