Being A Detective in The World of Film and Television

Chapter 219: Dinner in a private room, scary gunman (4 more)

Views:

Elsa understood.

It was obvious that Luke was a regular customer here and had plenty of money.

It is almost impossible to find private dining rooms in American restaurants, and the "private dining rooms" that Luke mentioned are also extremely rare.

By booking a meal, you can determine the amount of consumption in advance and ensure that the 20% service charge is generous enough.

There is nothing wrong with doing this.

Because this means spending more money to enjoy higher-end services, similar to the difference between several cabins on an airplane.

However, at the same price, this kind of "private room" service must not be provided, because it is unfair and discriminates against customers who cannot sit in the private room.

Donald had never eaten it, so Elsa helped order it for him.

Luke ordered a lot of food for Selina. Even if she didn't like it, he could eat it.

If it doesn't work, I can pack it up and give it back to Dustin.

After the various meals were served, everyone usually stopped talking and filled their stomachs first.

After finishing the meal, the four of them chatted while drinking after-meal drinks.

Neither side has any intention of keeping their cases secret, and it looks like both cases will soon become unsolved cases. If we talk about it now, we may be able to find some clues.

After all, the two cases have a lot of intersections.

For example, Margaret and the girl who died of a drug overdose were both students at USC, although they were in different classes and grades and did not even know each other.

For example, the apartment building once belonged to William Johnson, and the girl died in an apartment in that building. William had a bad reputation for his tenants.

This gave Donald and the others a new idea, but there were still no clear clues in the cases of Elsa and Luke.

As usual, we packed up the remaining pile of stuff and took it away, and everyone went their separate ways.

Donald and Selina are going to that apartment building. The female student died in William Johnson's apartment building. This is too much like William's way of driving people away.

Elsa and Luke went back to the police station to see if they could find any clues.

Elsa also brought free lunch to the lonely middle-aged Dustin. It was only a little after one o'clock, and Dustin might still be busy and hadn't eaten yet.

She couldn't help but laugh as she brought lunch to Dustin.

It turns out that I'm not that good at flattering people. Although I have a close relationship with Dustin, it is only limited to business matters. After all, she is not a gentle and considerate woman.

But after partnering up with Luke, he inexplicably showed a lot more warmth and kindness, which is hilarious to think about.

In the afternoon, the two did not go out again and stayed in the police station.

Elsa was looking for information while discussing with Luke.

But soon, the two could only shake their heads.

There are really too many people who want William Johnson to die.

From civilians to gang members to competing real estate groups, one can easily find thirty or fifty suspects who might attack him, and this is just the information that can be found on the surface.

Only God knows how many unknown bad things William Johnson did in private and how many enemies he made.

However, both of them felt that it was more likely a gang vendetta.

Because there is a rather mysterious piece of information that says this.

When William was killed, the two high-class socialites who were accompanying him said that it seemed as if someone jumped through the skylight, and then William was shot in the top of the head.

This piece of information was of course ridiculous, but it was still noted.

The main thing is that both socialites said so, and William was indeed shot on the top of the head, not in the face or side.

But... flying over a car traveling at 80 kilometers per hour, and then shooting William in the head through the open sunroof

This is simply a fantasy event!

Elsa didn't believe it, and Luke's expression was very subtle.

Normal people can't do it, but... what about those extraordinary humans

Luke thought about it and made up his mind that he should try to solve the case indirectly as soon as possible so that Elsa would give up.

This case may very well involve supernatural powers.

The opponent was able to shoot William Johnson in the head with one shot, which was considered ruthless, decisive and efficient.

What if Elsa really finds out something and the other party just shoots her in the head

This is Luke's designated superior, and he will play an important role in his life as a detective for some time to come.

As long as he could maintain efficiency in handling cases, Luke was absolutely sure that he could let her delegate power.

At that time, he would be able to devote most of his energy to vigilante work, and at the same time he could call on the resources of the police station to continuously obtain intelligence support for the vigilante operations.

Having a new boss and giving him instructions every day is really a waste of time.

In the midst of this busyness, Luke's phone suddenly rang.

His face changed.

He had specially modified the mobile phone, and there were several special ringtones for incoming calls.

Now this ringtone means that Selena has encountered an emergency situation, which is quite dangerous, and has sent a message for help.

He put on his headphones, quickly opened his phone and pressed the play button. On it was a recording sent by Selena.

This is a function similar to WeChat, which can be used to prevent Selena from not having her phone with her when she asks for help.

Selina's urgent voice sounded: "We encountered a terrible gunman in William Johnson's apartment building. Come quickly!"

Luke snatched up the keys and ran.

Elsa was stunned: "What are you doing?"

Luke: "In William's apartment building, Selina and the others encountered a very powerful gunman."

Elsa was surprised and hesitated for a moment, but still ran out.

On the surface, this matter seems to have nothing to do with her, but in fact it may not.

That was William Johnson's apartment building. The strange incidents that occurred there might be related to William's death.

Elsa and Luke both knew the address of the apartment building, after all, they had discussed the case with Donald and the others at noon.

Luke had already driven his own car and rushed out of the parking lot.

At this moment, he was extremely grateful that he had learned the basic vehicle driving skills.

With police lights flashing and sirens blaring, his car sped down the street.

The case that Selena and her colleagues were handling took place within the jurisdiction of the West District Police Station, and the apartment building was not far from the police station.

In seven minutes, Luke's car arrived at the apartment building.

After getting out of the car, he turned off the siren, leaving the police lights on, and rushed into the apartment building at full speed.

After entering, he quickly moved closer to where Selina was.

Of course, there was a surveillance camera he left on Selina, not to monitor her, but to locate her in an emergency.

However, with his keen hearing, he had already heard the sound of gunfire. It was not particularly intense, but there was one every few moments.

Luke's keen sense of smell kicked in, and he quickly realized that something was not right.

The air smelled of Donald's blood.

He quickly rushed to the fourth floor, and the pistol at his waist appeared in his hand.

Bang!

Without hesitation, he hit a person who had just stuck his head out of the stairs with a double strike, causing him to shrink back.

However, Luke did not relax, but instead his alarm bells were ringing.
