While Richard was busy moving the luggage, Luke quickly checked the bathroom and the kitchen.
There was nothing special in the kitchen.
There were no male items in the bathroom, and there was only a female toothbrush. However, there was a unique set of lingerie hanging on a hook.
Luke had just learned a little about this kind of clothing not long ago, and immediately recognized that it was I. L.'s latest collection this year, the same as the one Molly had been wearing when she was found.
What they had in common was that they were thin, transparent, and flowery. They were faintly discernible, which was very much in line with the purpose of their production.
The clothes themselves weren't very valuable, but the information they revealed was worth investigating.
Which pervert liked to make his victims wear such luxurious lingerie? Thinking this, Luke left the bathroom again.
On the other side, Molly's family had already walked out of the bedroom.
Richard was pushing a suitcase, and his wife, Novina, was carrying a big bag filled with Molly's belongings. Molly, on the other hand, was only carrying a lady's satchel.
"There's still a lot of stuff. Let's move these down first," Richard said to Luke.
Luke asked, "Do you need my help?"
Richard quickly shook his head. "No, Luke. You've already helped us a lot."
Luke was just being polite.
After all, moving things wasn't a big deal, and he didn't need to be too enthusiastic.
Excessive enthusiasm would instead make people feel uncomfortable.
As the two of them spoke, they walked to the elevator a few meters away.
At that moment, Luke was standing on one side of the elevator door. Not far from him, Jessica was leaning against the wall with her arms crossed and her head lowered.
Molly and her mother, Novena, were standing together, but Novena had been holding her daughter in her arms and paying attention to her expression. Her concern was evident in her words.
Richard came over and was about to press the down button for the elevator.
At that moment, he was holding the suitcase in one hand and his black handbag in the other, and his movements were a little clumsy.
Molly stepped forward and took the briefcase from under his arm. "I'll help you with this, Dad."
As he pressed the down button, Richard smiled at his daughter. His little angel had been so considerate and sensible since she was young. Even after what had just happened to her, her love for him hadn't changed. This was great!
A moment later, the elevator door opened and the three of them walked in. Richard pressed the button for the first floor, and the elevator door slowly closed.
Jessica, who had been keeping her head down by the wall, finally raised her head and met the gaze of the family of three.
She suddenly noticed that Molly, who was standing in the innermost part of the elevator, was taking her hand out of Richard's briefcase. Along with that hand … was a revolver.
"I have to!" Molly had a smile on her face. She looked into Jessica's eyes and pointed her revolver at Richard.
"Molly! "No!" jESSICA turned pale with fright and cried out softly.
At this time, there was only a palm-sized gap left in the elevator door.
Pa!
A gunshot echoed in the apartment building. Jessica's heart turned cold, and she looked depressed. 'It's over!' It was all over.
At that moment, she suddenly realized that Luke was standing in front of her with one hand on the elevator door.
What she didn't see was that his other hand was putting the M686 revolver back into the holster under his armpit.
At the last two centimeters of the elevator door, it opened again, revealing the shocked Richard and his wife, as well as Molly, who was still smiling and mumbling, "I have to do this."
Luke flashed into the elevator and pushed Richard and his wife out. He then grabbed Molly, who was bending down to pick up the revolver.
He moved his feet, and the revolver on the ground was kicked out of the elevator.
Only then did he retreat from the elevator with Molly in his hand.
The elevator door quietly closed again and went to the first floor.
Of the other four people present, Molly was the only one who kept mumbling, "I have to do this." She struggled desperately in Luke's hand to get the revolver from the ground.
Two seconds later, Selina quickly stuck her head out of the room. After confirming the situation, she stuck her head out again and asked, "Is it safe?"
Luke said, "It's safe."
Only then did Selina put her gun back into the holster and quickly walk over.
Luke looked at Richard and Jessica and said, "I think we should go back to the room and talk."
Without waiting for the others to reply, he said to Selina, "Find a bag and put the guns on the ground in it."
Jessica's head was in a mess. She looked at him and asked blankly, "How did you do it?"
Molly had taken out the gun too suddenly, and had only done it when the elevator door was about to close. Also, nobody knew that there was a revolver in the briefcase.
Even if Jessica had smashed open the elevator door, she wouldn't have been able to catch up to Molly pulling the trigger.
Luke, on the other hand, had fired and put away the gun so quickly that she hadn't seen what he had done at all.
Luke looked at her and smiled. "Miss Jones, since we dared to investigate this case, we naturally have the ability. Sometimes, you might not be able to do what I can do. "
Jessica's lips moved, but she was lost for words.
Just now, Luke had stopped Molly from taking out the gun.
Given the situation in the elevator, if she had taken out the gun, she would have either killed herself or her parents, or even both at the same time.
It was very likely that Luke had saved Molly's entire family.
Jessica, on the other hand, hadn't done anything other than cry out in alarm.
Her earlier remark that Luke wouldn't be able to help seemed very comical at that moment.
In fact, Luke had always known that Richard had a gun in his briefcase, which couldn't be hidden from Sharp Nose.
But Richard's daughter had been hurt, and the pervert who had hurt his daughter hadn't been caught yet. It wasn't strange for him to have a gun to protect himself.
Luke didn't bother with it.
Jessica had also helped a little.
When she cried out "Molly! Don't! ", she had given Luke a warning.
He had moved sideways in the blink of an eye, and locked onto Molly, who was aiming the gun at Richard in the elevator.
In the blink of an eye, Luke had activated Quick Draw.
With his current three measurements, Quick Draw was as fast and accurate as a gun god in the movies at a range of one to two meters.
Thus, he pulled out the M68 revolver from under his armpit and accurately shot the gun in Molly's hand through the ten-centimeter gap in the elevator door.
Sometimes, bullets were indeed more convenient than people.
At the very least, it could pass through a ten-centimeter gap without being affected, but Luke couldn't.
A moment later, everybody returned to the apartment.
Looking at Molly, who was still struggling as Luke pressed her down on the sofa and repeated "I have to do this" like a machine, as well as the revolver that had been put into a paper bag, everyone felt a chill run down their spines.
At that moment, Selina found something suitable in the room and personally put it on Molly.
