Elsa and Luke are no longer partners, but they are still a team. They can handle more diverse cases and their abilities are not wasted.
William Johnson's case was also largely cleared up.
With Luke's reminder, Elsa quickly found an important clue.
The blood left by the female gunman was used for identification, proving that the female gunman and the female college student who died of suspected drug overdose were not strangers, but sisters.
It was finally discovered that the gunman was the older sister who went missing when she was young, and the female college student was the younger sister.
It is not known how the two met again, but the younger sister, who was studying at USC, ended up living in the apartment rented by her older sister Rebecca.
Until recently, William obtained the ownership of the building through certain channels and wanted to drive out Rebecca who had signed a long-term lease.
But Rebecca only paid rent and did not live in the apartment building.
For some unknown reason, William sent his thugs to kill Rebecca's sister and made it look like she had taken a drug overdose.
Until Rebecca discovered her sister's death, she, who possessed terrifying skills, would not swallow her anger. She went straight to William and shot the enemy who killed her sister.
In fact, after William's death, two other thugs in his gang also died one after another, also by a single gunshot to the head, in their own apartment.
One of the two died the day after William's death, and the other died yesterday morning.
No one had connected these cases before, but now with Luke's reminder, Elsa collected information and analyzed it quickly, and finally made a rough analysis of this bloody case involving so many people.
Luke and Elsa even guessed why the female gunman Rebecca appeared in the apartment building yesterday.
Perhaps, the female gunman returned to the apartment building to pay tribute to her dead sister and use the life and blood of the person who killed her enemy to let his soul rest in peace.
Dustin didn't say anything about the case, just gave a few words of praise and that was it.
After all, Rebecca disappeared again, and William and his two men did not die unjustly. It would be good to close these cases at the same time.
As for catching Rebecca, all we have to do is put her information into the criminal database and issue a wanted warrant.
It is impossible to send someone specifically to capture Rebecca.
Dustin also knew Luke's assessment of Rebecca's strength. He didn't want his men to die for someone like William, so he decisively issued a wanted order to deal with the matter.
After a busy week, Luke and Selina found Elsa together.
Hearing his words, Elsa raised her head from the table full of files, with a look of "are you kidding me" on her face: "What did you say?"
Luke smiled: "Please ask for leave, Boss."
Elsa leaned back against the chair: "Don't you know how busy we are now?"
Luke nodded, "I know, but I want to go visit my uncle. He's in Las Vegas, so I won't be too long."
Elsa rubbed her forehead: "Do I have to go?"
Luke held up a finger and said, "We're going to have two days off this weekend anyway, so just one day off will be enough."
Elsa was speechless for a moment, and finally searched the table for a while: "Well, since you are going there, why not go to the forensic center over there and bring back the forensic results of these cases."
Luke: “So, this counts as a business trip?”
Elsa rolled her eyes and said, "You're just dreaming! If you don't want to do it, I'll let the boss take it and arrange for someone to go get it."
Luke shrugged. "Ok, do you want me to bring you a souvenir?"
Elsa glared at him. "What souvenirs or chips could there be?"
Luke laughed and said, "I can bring you a pair of sunglasses. I heard the sunlight is very strong there."
Elsa: "... Get lost! Remember, if you delay one more day, I will deduct two days of your leave."
Luke raised his hand and gave a two-finger salute: "Yes, sir!"
Tomorrow is Saturday, and Luke came here early in the morning, walked around the police station, and decided to skip work.
Leaving Selena to handle some chores in the bureau, the two will take a flight to Las Vegas in the afternoon.
The 430-kilometer journey could be completed in more than three hours by car, but Luke was too lazy to drive.
The flight only takes one hour, and as long as you book your ticket in advance, the round trip will take no more than four hours.
After Luke returned home, he did the preparation work and finally added the last bit of basic attributes.
Strength 40!
In an instant, unimaginable pain appeared, and all the muscles in his body seemed to be twisted and knotted, and seemed to be burning and melting.
Luke bit the towel in his mouth and roared wildly with a whimper: "Damn it, I knew it wouldn't be that easy! Ahhhh!"
When the three basic attributes reach 20, there will be a drastic increase, and the increase coefficient will become 2, and the actual effect is twice that before 20 points.
What about the basic attribute reaching 40 points? Considering that the primary self-healing ability requires 40 points of strength, Luke can guess.
He screamed there for almost an hour before he finally got through the most painful period.
The physical discomfort was still strong, but not to the point where he couldn't control himself and screamed. However, he would still grimace in pain from time to time.
He couldn't just lie there.
In just the past hour, Luke knew that his body fat percentage had dropped again, but he was not happy at all.
Because the degree of body fat reduction can be seen with the naked eye, the previously smooth skin now looks a little dry, and it is obvious that the fat inside is being consumed crazily.
Luke gritted his teeth, endured the pain and soreness in his muscles, and ate heartily at the dining table where the food had been prepared long ago.
In addition, the nutrient solution he specially prepared by himself was also infused into the body's blood, nourishing the body that was almost drained.
Then he felt uncomfortable again.
This strengthening process was not over yet, even the strongest first wave of effects was still continuing. He breathed a sigh of relief before, but that was because there was not much energy left in his body that could be extracted, so the system automatically slowed down the strengthening process.
But now a large amount of nutrients have entered the body, and the strengthening process has immediately become active again, but the pain is much weaker than at the beginning.
Luke could only grit his teeth and eat and drink frantically, turning the pain into appetite.
He kept eating and drinking, and the nutrient solution was continuously injected. After five hours, the first stage of the strengthening process was finally over.
Luke almost cried.
It was so fucking horrible! This process was like torture, and I couldn't even faint.
What's even more terrifying is that he has to try his best to stay awake, eating and taking intravenous drips frantically to maintain the substances and energy needed for strengthening.
During this time, Luke went to the bathroom five or six times.
Before, when my strength reached 20, the need to go to the toilet was not obvious, only once or twice.
But this time it was not just because he ate too much, it was more likely that his body had been strengthened to a new level and the waste in the body had been excreted.
