Robert: "How big are their feet?"
Selena: "Rhoda wears a size 44 and Jessica wears a size 38."
Robert narrowed his eyes, picked up a photo and looked at it: "Thirty-eight yards?"
Selina and Lu Ke could both see that the photo he was holding was a shoe print on the windowsill.
Selina: "This shoe print was found on the windowsill of the room on the first floor?"
Robert nodded and continued to look at the shoe print.
Lu Ke: "Can you show it to me?"
Robert glanced at him and handed him the photo.
Lu Ke looked at the photo carefully for a moment, then looked away, as if recalling something. After a long while, he let out a sigh, "I've seen this shoe print before."
Robert and Selina looked at him in surprise.
Lu Ke: "This should be the Nike Flex Essential TR. The cheerleading team bought a batch of them some time ago as special shoes for team activities. I saw Ximena wearing them." (Please don't be too picky about the shoe type)
Selina whistled: "You really care about your girlfriend. You even remember the style of her shoes."
Lu Ke rolled his eyes. "Because this pair of shoes is very expensive, Ximena didn't have enough money, so she borrowed a hundred dollars from me. So after I bought them, I took a look at them. I was deeply impressed by the cross-shaped pattern on the sole."
Robert interrupted: "Where did you get the hundred dollars?"
Lu Ke: "...Keep it secret."
Robert: "Do you believe I will deduct your pocket money?"
Lu Ke: "Yes. But I have already started working today. Do you want to deduct my salary?"
Robert: “… Remember to pay for Catherine’s food after you get your salary.”
Lu Ke: ... mmp!
After talking nonsense for a while, Robert asked, "Does Jessica also have this pair of shoes?"
Lu Ke shook his head: "I don't know. This pair of shoes is not mandatory to buy. Those who are interested can pay for it themselves. There is a group purchase discount at a shoe store. I don't know how many people in the cheerleading team bought this pair of shoes or who bought it."
Robert said "oh", but he was not disappointed.
Lu Ke added: "Well, Jessica's family is quite rich. Her father seems to be an accountant in Knox City."
Robert and Selina looked at each other again: Isn't it obvious that Jessica can afford these shoes
"Boss, what should we do now?" Selina asked.
After hearing this, what she actually wanted to ask was: Is it time to go find that Jessica
After all, this girl is really a big suspect.
Robert tapped the table a few times: "Wait for me to make a call."
He didn't use his cell phone, but directly dialed a number on the landline and started talking.
Lu Ke was stunned when he heard this. He approached Selina and lowered his voice and asked, "Is Robert so... arrogant when handling cases?"
Selina chuckled and glanced at him: "That's because he believes in you."
Lu Ke immediately cried, "But I'm just guessing, I'm not sure. I told him this information just to give him another direction to investigate. Why did he just do it?"
Selina pouted: "Don't worry, we just asked the girl to come back in the name of assisting the investigation. We didn't come with an arrest warrant. Robert is not as stupid as you think."
"You said that. I didn't say anything bad about Robert." Lu Ke suddenly changed the subject.
Selina was stunned for a moment, then she saw Robert, who had hung up the phone, staring at her with a dark face.
She didn't know yet that she had been tricked by Lu Ke.
Robert just glared at Selina, then said, "Selina and I will go to Knox and bring Jessica back for questioning. Luke, you look at this file here, it would be great if you can find something more useful."
Lu Ke nodded: "Okay."
After following the two out of the office, he stood there and looked at the file for a while. Suddenly, Lu Ke felt something was wrong: "Hey, where is my desk? Tell me before you leave."
But Robert and his partner's car were probably out of town, so he could only shake his head helplessly and walk to the reception desk in front of the police station: "Oh, beautiful Mary, can you tell me where my desk is?"
In front of him was a white woman in her forties, not wearing a police uniform, but an everyday outfit.
Hearing his question, the woman who was busy on the computer raised her head and said, "Oh, it's you, you sweet-talking brat. Robert didn't assign you a desk? Oh, go in and find the two desks in the left corner. The empty ones are yours."
Lu Ke smiled and thanked him: "Whose is the one next to mine?"
Mary was puzzled. "Selina's. Don't you know? Hank, that idiot, quit his job. He was Selina's partner before, so of course their desks were in the same place. The empty desk was the one Hank used before."
Lu Ke suddenly realized: "Ah, that's how it is."
Mary looked at him and said, "You know Selina wants to partner with you, don't you?"
Lu Ke slapped his forehead and said, "I know, Mary, but I didn't react immediately. Thank you for your reminder."
Mary smiled and said, "Do you want me to help you clean up? Hank, that idiot, is always losing things. He must have left some things there."
Lu Ke: "No, no, you're busy too, I know, I can do it myself. Oh, do you have an empty box? I can just put all those things in it."
Mary: “Yes.” She hooked her feet under the reception counter a few times and pulled out a medium-sized cardboard box, which she handed over to him.
"Thank you, you really helped me a lot." Lu Ke smiled and waved, then went back into the office lobby.
Lu Ke found the empty table in the corner and took a look. In fact, Hank didn't leave many things here, probably some small things that he didn't use but was too lazy to move.
Lu Ke casually threw the box under the desk because he felt that the desk was big enough for him to use now and there was no rush to clean it.
Once this case is over, he should have plenty of free time to do such chores.
Lu Ke opened the file on the table and began to read it carefully page by page.
In less than half an hour, he had finished reading the file.
There is not much content in this file, just some general information about the on-site investigation. More detailed data will have to wait for Knox's forensics department to complete it and send it over.
He didn't make any new discoveries. After all, the information he provided just now was all because he was familiar with the suspect, including recognizing Jessica who slipped away quietly and the shoe print in the file.
He is not a detective. Although he now has a mentally retarded detective system, he is still an ordinary person.
After thinking about it for a long time, he finally felt hungry, so he had to sneak into Robert's office and take out the lunch that Catherine had prepared for them from the small refrigerator.
