As soon as she saw Luke, Ginny's expression immediately improved a lot, and she even thought about straightening her sitting posture.
She didn't want to appear panicked and realize her mistake in front of someone, which would lose her style as a president.
Pepper looked normal and relieved.
As Luke, who was able to get Tony to ask her to go through the back door twice, of course she had investigated it, even Selina's file.
Even without mentioning Luke's amazing ability in the bombing case two days ago, this duo's case-solving rate in Los Angeles is terrifyingly high.
As for why he suddenly became "indistinguishable from the crowd" after coming to New York, Pepper probably understood the reason.
Outsiders who stand out too much are always easily viewed with hostility by locals.
Even if the Stark Group came to New York, this situation would be difficult to avoid.
The Stark Group still has enough confidence and strength to use force.
The situation of these two young detectives is a bit awkward, and it is understandable that they choose to keep a low profile, after all, this causes the least trouble.
So compared to letting the New Jersey police intervene directly or asking Nelson to transfer other police officers, Pepper trusts Luke and the others more.
But she was a little curious about how Ginny, who could barely be considered her best friend, knew Detective Luke Coulson.
After all, Pepper didn't know Luke was here, and it was Ginny who suggested that Luke come over.
Jeffrey, who was standing next to him, had a conflicted look on his face.
It was true that he knew Luke, and he was somewhat grateful to this young detective who had solved the family conflict, but he didn't want Luke to get involved in today's matter.
When Luke was resolving their family conflicts, he never backed down because he was a Soderbergh family member.
Sheriff Nelson was in an even worse state. He seemed a little absent-minded and had to open his eyes wide to make sure that the person in front of him was Luke.
Luke came in and asked without further ado, "Where is the dying woman?"
Except for Sheriff Nelson, the other three immediately turned their eyes to a passage next to the living room.
Jeffrey said: "Next to the innermost bedroom, there is a doctor helping with the rescue."
Luke nodded and said hello to Selina: "Help Chief Nelson do preliminary tests. Call a doctor if necessary. He may have been drugged."
Hearing what he said, the expressions of the four people, including Nelson, became very subtle.
Luke's words clearly implied that Nelson had been drugged.
The NYPD chief of police was drugged in Jeffrey's home and happened to appear at a very deadly crime scene.
Did the Soderbergh family hate the sheriff to this extent? Or was it a trap to kill two birds with one stone
All of them were experienced upper-class people, and they quickly thought of various possibilities.
Selena ignored the expressions of these people, stepped forward immediately, took out her cell phone and started recording Nelson, then asked him how he felt.
Nelson was cooperative.
Aside from smoking a little weed with classmates when he was young, Nelson himself doesn't touch any illegal drugs today.
This video can serve as supporting evidence.
He will do a blood test later, and then he will change from a suspect to a victim in tonight's incident, and he will not be as passive as before.
For a moment, the only sounds in the living room were the questions and answers between Selina and Nelson.
Luke walked through the corridor and found a bedroom with some movement. He went in and passed through a hidden door behind a removed closet. He saw a young woman with her eyes closed lying on the big bed in the bedroom next door.
He narrowed his eyes and looked through his black-framed glasses at the woman who looked somewhat familiar. Xiao Wo quickly found the reason.
She was the waitress who had called Nelson away in the lobby.
At this moment, there was a middle-aged man in a white shirt beside the bed, with a handmade suit casually thrown on a chair beside him. He was sweating profusely as he took his hand away from the woman's chest and touched the carotid artery.
This should be the doctor Jeffrey mentioned. Apparently, like Luke, he was also temporarily conscripted.
Luke glanced over and found a first aid kit and a stethoscope nearby, but no used syringes.
Luke looked at the rough examination results behind his black-framed glasses, walked quickly forward, and pushed the middle-aged doctor away.
The man was about to say something when Luke took out his police badge and waved it, "Don't talk nonsense. What rescue measures did you use?"
The middle-aged doctor answered subconsciously: "I only used emergency CPR."
Luke nodded and pointed at the first aid kit. "Go ask the security outside if they have a defibrillator. If they do, bring it over."
The middle-aged doctor immediately did as he was told and felt lucky: It was great that someone was taking the blame.
In fact, he had felt bad before he came into the room.
When he saw the young woman lying on the bed with her breathing and heartbeat steady, his scalp tingled.
Someone died in the Soderbergh family's villa, a naked young woman with traces of having been fooling around on her body. It would be strange if there was no ghost involved.
But the moment he saw this woman, he couldn't get away.
He didn't dare to give the woman any emergency medicine.
As a skilled doctor, he was certain that the woman had taken some illegal drugs, which was why she was in a near-death state.
Once he used drugs to save her, the woman's death would most likely be blamed on him.
The power of the Soderbergh family is something he desires and respects, but that doesn't mean he is willing to sacrifice his career, which has just entered its golden period.
This problem does not exist when using cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and it is normal that the patient cannot be rescued.
Now a fool came in and took the blame. The middle-aged doctor was extremely grateful that he didn't remind him that the woman was beyond saving.
But what he didn't know was that from the moment he turned his back to Luke, a prismatic crystal emitting a faint white light appeared in Luke's hand.
This is the light dagger from Tandy Bowen. That little girl is the most successful investment in Luke's training of reserve teammates.
In order to relieve the excess vitality in her body, she has to condense the excess vitality every month to form a dagger of light.
It is also common to save three or five lives by accurately using the vitality in a light dagger.
At this moment, Luke pressed the light dagger tightly against the young woman's heart with his left hand, allowing the light dagger's vitality to be directed into it. At the same time, he quietly put on a black glove with his right hand.
He adjusted the electric shock output mode of the latest nano gloves behind his black-framed glasses, and immediately gave the woman a shock in the heart.
The woman's whole body shook, but she did not "come back to life" immediately.
Luke's expression remained unchanged. He waited for two seconds and then received another electric shock.
This time, he finally felt a faint throbbing under his hand.
He put the nano-glove on his right hand back into the storage space, but the light dagger in his left hand was still pressed on the woman's heart, allowing it to slowly stabilize.
This woman is the key in this matter.
As long as she doesn't die, Nelson will be fine, and he can follow the clues to find out the origin of this incident.
