Luke nodded, then slowly stepped in.

After entering the room, the air smelled not very pleasant, perhaps because it had been stuffy for a few days.

Sheila looked uncomfortable. Luke glanced at her and said, "You can be at the door." Then he slowly walked in the direction of the entrance.

Sheila looked at the young man curiously because she noticed that he closed his eyes after he said that.

He moved with his eyes closed, walking around the bedroom, but he didn't touch anything.

Elsa just glanced at Luke, not paying any attention, and looked around on her own.

About ten minutes later, Elsa came out and shook her head slightly: "I didn't notice anything unusual."

Sheila felt a little disappointed, but she found that Luke hadn't come out yet, so she couldn't help asking, "Where's your high school partner?"

Elsa's expression was subtle: "He is a little slower than me."

Sheila wondered, "Why did he close his eyes while searching the room?"

Elsa chuckled: "This is his habit. It is said that he relies on the first impression to model the entire room in his mind, and then analyze it to find out the suspicious points..."

Then, she saw that Sheila looked confused, so she could only say it another way: "He is looking for inspiration! Closing his eyes makes it easier for his inspiration to come."

Although Elsa thought Luke was talking nonsense, in several cases, clues were found after he closed his eyes to look for inspiration, so even Elsa had to believe it.

Ten minutes later, the two saw Luke walking around the room slowly, with his head raised, in a slightly irregular route, and finally walked into the bathroom.

Sheila uttered a cry.

Elsa looked over and whispered, "All the things I changed after taking a shower that day are there..."

Elsa chuckled: "Don't worry, this little guy doesn't have those weird habits."

After a moment, Luke walked out of the bathroom with a thoughtful gleam in his eyes.

"What did you find?" Elsa asked.

Luke nodded slightly. "I think I understand what's going on. But it's best to check outside the house. Maybe we can find more evidence that matches what I found. Well, we should keep the house locked. This is a crime scene."

Sheila looked at Elsa, and when she nodded, she closed the door decisively.

After a while, everyone came outside.

Luke asked, "Ms. Sheila, do you know where the ventilation system in your bathroom is?"

Sheila shook her head blankly.

She is a famous singer who has never done anything about women's daily life. At most, she knows where the washing machine is. Ask her what ventilation system is? What is that? Can you eat it

However, big singers are naturally talented.

Well, mainly because he has money. She used the intercom in her hand to call a security guard: "You answer Mr. Luke's questions."

The security guard was obviously professional and immediately pointed out the exit of the ventilation system, which was under an open shed somewhere outside the house.

Luke asked everyone not to go over there. He looked at the ground carefully, walked slowly along the corner of the house, and finally stood at the entrance with his eyes closed for a moment before opening his eyes and looking around.

Finally, he retreated along the same route he had come, and pointed to an area near the shed. "It's best not to let anyone in here casually. Wait for the forensics department to come and let them check it out."

As he spoke, he, Elsa and Sheila walked in front, and the security guard hung far behind, lowering his voice and saying, "This is already very obvious. Ms. Sheila, you didn't encounter any supernatural events, but someone had some crooked ideas and stole the jewelry from your house."

Sheila exclaimed, "Really?"

Luke nodded. "If you had reported the case directly and checked yourself, you might have found some hallucinogens or anesthetic residues. You were not haunted by a ghost, but someone drugged you."

Silla couldn't believe it: "How is it possible? How did he get into the room and drug me?"

Luke thought about it and shook his head: "Forget it, you were right not to call the police. What if the police suspected that you were hallucinating from drugs?"

Sheila: …

Elsa: …

Elsa was impatient: "What's going on?"

As Luke continued to walk forward, he whispered, "It's very simple. No one has ever entered Ms. Sheila's house, but a trained animal can accomplish many things that humans cannot do, such as entering the room through the vent, knocking you out with drugs, opening the safe, and stealing the jewelry."

Sheila couldn't believe it: "Where can there be such a smart animal? Can it give drugs? Can it open a safe?"

Luke chuckled: "That may not be the case." This is not an ordinary world.

Having said this, he stopped and looked towards the wall.

After scanning for a moment, he gestured to Elsa, "Look at the tip of the iron railing, what is that."

Elsa squinted her eyes for a moment and said, "It looks a bit like... animal hair?"

Luke nodded. "I also saw this kind of hair in the vent outside the house just now, but it was very rare. There were also a few faint footprints on the ground, but I'm not sure what animal it was. Oh, this kind of hair is also in your room, Ms. Sheila, but it's very rare."

Without a keen sense of smell, it would be difficult for him to detect those tiny hairs, so it was no wonder that Elsa didn't notice them.

At this point, he casually asked, “Miss Sheila, you don’t have cats or dogs here, or no cats or dogs entered your house in those days, right?”

Silla shook her head decisively: "I don't like to keep pets. I am a little allergic to their fur, so no one, including the nanny Meryl, will touch cats and dogs."

Of course Luke knew this, his keen sense of smell made it very clear, but he was just saying it to Elsa.

Next, even if Elsa formally accepted Sheila's report, the forensic department personnel soon arrived. After listening to Luke's instructions, they were a little confused, but still did as they were told.

The main reason is that Elsa has more seniority and Luke has become more famous recently.

The story of Luke had already spread throughout the Forensic Science Department. After all, the Zhongfu Building robbery was a shocking case in which more than 30 bodies were carried to the Forensic Science Department in one night. It was impossible for everyone to not know about it.

There are also experts among the people from the Forensic Department who came this time.

A middle-aged man with an elegant and handsome appearance just looked at the black hair found in the bathroom vent for a moment and said, "It's not a monkey, it should be a chimpanzee."

He searched for a while with the flashlight beside the bed and found a few more similar hairs. "That's right, this little thing has been on the bed. Well, let's see what we can find here. Haha, smart little thing, is it really the one that opened the safe?"

Luke was watching from the side and couldn't help asking, "Can you tell what animal it is? Just by that little bit of hair?"

The middle-aged man raised his head, his expression a little serious, and suddenly smiled: "Yes, I am very interested in wild animals, including gorillas and chimpanzees."

Luke said, "Who are you?"
