The three of them walked out of the studio, sat down in a small park not far from the building, and began their formal conversation.
There was no seat for Luke. Elsa and Margaret were sitting on wrought iron and wooden chairs, and there was no way he could sit next to them.
He stood beside Elsa, eavesdropping on their conversation and also being able to observe Margaret from the side.
I have to say that Margaret is really beautiful. No wonder William, the gang leader, fell in love with her. She has big wavy blonde hair, but it should be dyed, fair skin, and large and distinctive facial features.
She has a big mouth, big eyes, a high nose bridge, and deep eye sockets. She is the typical beauty that Americans like, a bit like Anne Hathaway.
Moreover, at the age of 21 and as an art student, everything about her is at its peak.
This conversation lasted for a long time.
Luke also went to the vending machine and brought back a few bottles of mineral water for the two women to moisten their mouths.
Elsa's problems, from the very beginning of the case, gradually revealed some information to Margaret, mainly the dangers she might face.
This is Elsa's personal behavior.
In fact, even if she didn't remind them, the police station wouldn't have any trouble if something happened to Margaret, and might even have less work to do, because no one would clamor for them to investigate William Johnson's case.
But as a woman, Elsa still softened her heart when faced with Margaret, who was not a bad person and was even a little simple and naive.
Luke didn't care.
The detective system makes him ruthless to bad guys, but he can't be so cold-blooded to ordinary people like Margaret who are kind-hearted.
Margaret did not live a good life relying on William Johnson. Her family was well-off and she had no worries about food and clothing, so she chose the path of art.
Elsa wanted to remind her, but that was up to her.
Elsa's conversation skills are quite good. After all, she is an experienced detective who has been handling cases for eight years, and talking to women is one of her best things.
Her neat and capable temperament also made it easy for her to gain the trust and favor of some weak women, such as Margaret.
Therefore, after more than an hour of conversation, Elsa had already extracted a lot of information about William's life from Margaret, and she also knew her current situation.
Even if Luke said this, Margaret might not be able to believe it easily, but Elsa did it.
Luke watched with great interest from the side.
Compared to Elsa, he actually does things very "roughly", relying entirely on his strength to crush others.
Of course, it is good to have strength, but he doesn't mind absorbing some of this experience.
His strength is not yet to the point where he can crush everything. Maybe one day he will have to learn from Elsa and use his mouth cannon skills to achieve some goals.
Two hours later, both parties had almost finished their discussion and left their contact information with each other for future communication.
At this moment, a very familiar voice sounded not far from Luke: "Ah? You..."
Luke raised an eyebrow: "You guys are here too?"
The man quickly leaned over to Luke's ear and said, "Investigating the case."
Luke looked questioning.
Selina: "I'm here to see Mrs. Johnson next to you."
Donald also greeted Elsa, then greeted Margaret, took out his police badge and introduced himself.
Margaret looked puzzled: "What... do you want to talk to me about?" She glanced at Elsa unconsciously.
This police station wouldn't send two groups of people to investigate me, right
Donald: "Mrs. Johnson, we are here for the apartment building at 27 Lipton Street."
Margaret looked confused: "Huh?"
Donald: "It belongs to you now."
Margaret: “What?”
Elsa and Luke became listeners, but they soon understood.
It turns out that the case of two women dying and one missing in the apartment that Donald and Selena recently investigated occurred in an apartment building that belonged to William Johnson.
It now belongs to Lady Margaret Halle Johnson.
Donald also made a last-ditch effort to see if Margaret had any information, but it was obviously unlikely.
Margaret had no idea what the apartment building was all about, or rather, she had no idea how much of William's property she now owned.
However, after being reminded by Elsa today and being given some solutions, Margaret is ready to find a powerful law firm to sort out all the properties under her name as soon as possible.
Of course, she didn't hate money, but as an art student, she grew up in a wealthy family and didn't have an overwhelming desire for money.
Among the properties William Johnson left behind, several buildings alone are worth at least nearly 100 million US dollars, and the rent is enough for her to live comfortably for the rest of her life.
She would dispose of those inexplicable assets in William Johnson's hands as soon as possible and turn them into something that had nothing to do with her.
Once this operation is completed, it will be useless for other gangs to look for William Johnson if they want to get the gray or even black assets in his hands.
Although doing so might result in a large loss of money, it was the safest option considering Margaret's ability.
She has neither the ability nor the heart of a strong woman, and she is not short of money. She would be crazy to keep those illegal businesses and bring disaster upon herself.
Finally, after seeing Margaret off, Elsa and Donald exchanged information, and Luke and Selina also chatted on the side.
The current situation is that neither group has obtained any useful clues.
Elsa got a lot of information about William, but couldn't see how it was related to his murder because this guy had too many enemies and rivals.
Donald's side is even more pitiful. Margaret can be said to be a young lady who doesn't care about worldly affairs. Even after marrying William, she is still this kind of young lady.
She was only responsible for her beauty, and was completely clueless about all of William's secret dealings.
Luke also used his keen sense of smell on Margaret, and it turned out that apart from the strong smell of oil paint, there was no smell of gun oil, gunpowder, or banned drugs on this young lady's body.
She really doesn't touch those things.
Although, she may not need to touch those things herself, the chances of this happening are very small.
The two sides talked for a while, and Luke simply suggested that everyone go out for dinner and he would treat them all.
Of course Elsa didn't care, and Donald hesitated for a moment and then agreed.
It was already half past eleven. Even if he didn't accept Luke's invitation, he and Selina would still have to find a place to eat.
Naturally, Luke took everyone to Taoranju Teahouse. The difference from last time was that this time he chose a "private room".
Four people sat in a private room of ten square meters. One side of the room was a floor-to-ceiling glass facing the street, and the rest were walls. As soon as the door was closed, it became very quiet.
Elsa was also very curious: "Is there such a place?"
Luke smiled and said, "This is called the 'Private Dining Room' and there is a 20% service charge. If you are not a regular customer, you must book the time and meal in advance."
