The United States is ahead of most countries in the world and entered an era of extreme material abundance early on. Most ordinary people have no worries about food and clothing, the only difference is that they have no channels for upward mobility.
Under the influence of various ideas, some young people like to seek death, and this is not an isolated case.
In Luke's previous life, the Chinese people gave these young Americans a simple and direct conclusion.
That's just because he has nothing better to do.
After Luke finished talking about his findings, he asked Selina, "What about you? Did you find anything suspicious?"
"Now that you mention it, I do have some doubts. For example, the details of the case from a year ago are very worthy of scrutiny." Selina patted the files in her hands.
Turning to one of the pages, she said, "Here, in Sidney's testimony, the first thing she said was that she saw Cotton Weirry running out of her house. It was ten o'clock at night, and her testimony was that "she saw the murderer running away from the window of her room upstairs." What do you think?"
Luke thought about it and understood immediately: "Her room is slightly above the door, so maybe she only saw a silhouette from behind? And it was at night."
Selina shrugged. "Yes. Later, the coat stained with her mother's blood did belong to Cotton and was found at Cotton's home. But when Cotton was found that night, he was drunk and couldn't explain what he had done before."
Luke rolled his eyes and said, "Let's go for a walk."
Selina: "What do you want to do?"
Luke: "Haha, he has tricks, but I have technology."
Selina: “Huh?”
The two said something to Bailey and then went out.
Bailey was a little worried. Seeing the two driving away, she called Poker. Poker was silent for a moment before saying, "I know. Don't worry about them. They know what they are doing."
What Luke did was simple.
Based on the information Selena saw, she called Poke and the two went to the homes of Billy and Stu, the boyfriend of girl No. 10, and each took a walk around.
Luke then hid several cameras in the surrounding trees and pointed them at the house, leaving no blind spots in sight.
He then installed two signal adapters in a hidden place nearby, so that he could receive the signal from most locations in this small town.
These cameras do not work all the time. They are turned on at regular intervals after dark every day, and can last for two or three nights.
Luke felt that this was enough, as the two high school students didn't seem to have much patience.
After doing all this, the two drove back to Poke's house. After washing up, they said good night to Bailey and went back to their rooms.
Luke read about gangs in Los Angeles until four o'clock before going to bed.
The next day, it was still sunny and nice weather.
When they arrived at the school, before they entered, they heard the announcement: "Due to the recent murder case, the school will temporarily be closed for a week. Students, please stay at home as much as possible during the holiday, do not go out casually, and ensure your own safety."
Some students were cheering, some were shouting, and some were whistling, but few were unhappy.
Selina and Luke looked at each other: ⊙_⊙?x2
After a moment, Selina turned her head and asked faintly, "Pretending to be a student? Pretending to be a teacher? Secret investigation?"
Luke: ... bullshxt! Sibery is not good enough.
As the two stood there in silence, a young man in police uniform and two girls walked out of the teaching building.
One of the girls saw Luke and her eyes lit up: "Ah, it's you!"
The policeman also looked over and was stunned for a moment: "Are you... the child of Poker's relative?"
Luke smiled: "Hello, Dewey. My name is Luke, and this is my cousin Selina. And this beautiful girl, what is your name?"
This girl has a broad mind and a solid body, and she is a top student in high school.
She is girl number 10 yesterday.
At this moment, her face was full of joy: "My name is Tatum, and I'm Dewey's sister."
Luke chuckled: "Hello, Tatum, nice to meet you."
Tatum rolled his eyes, "By the way, there's a party at Stu's house tonight, would you like to come and play?"
Luke and Selina looked at each other, speechless: What the hell! Isn't the whole city in a state of panic because of the serial killer? You guys actually took the opportunity to have a party, this is really... too interesting.
Luke smiled and nodded: "Okay, we'll go there directly tonight."
Tatum: "Do you need me to lead the way?"
Luke smiled: "No, you still have to accompany your friends." He looked at the girl Sidney next to girl No. 10.
Tatum thought so too and could only nod regretfully: "Okay, if you don't know the way, let Dewey take you here."
What a pity, this means I can't chat more with this sunny and handsome guy in front of me, she thought to herself.
Watching the three people leave, Selina reminded: "Don't be so anxious, didn't she ask you to go find her at night?"
Luke: "Didn't you notice where the party is? I was just thinking about business."
Selena was stunned, then thought of what Tatum had just said, and immediately understood: "You mean..."
"If you want to hold a party at someone's house, it's not just the person's proposal, but you still need to seek that person's consent, right?" he said.
Selina couldn't help but nodded: "Then tonight..."
Luke chuckled and said, "There are two small portable cameras in the car. Let's go over there quietly tonight. Maybe we can capture some interesting footage."
Selina: "It's not the kind of picture you took when you were with Elena, right?"
Luke: "You can film this if you like, but I will be responsible for filming the killer's actions. Alas, some people's thoughts are becoming less and less pure."
Selina gnashed her teeth and said, "Who is more impure? Don't you know?"
Luke: “Hehe.”
"It's only morning now. What are you doing all day?" Selina asked.
Luke: "Just keep an eye on those two suicidal teenagers."
Selina said "oh" and said nothing more.
Most detectives’ cases-solving skills are not as exciting as most people think, and Luke has to use some cheats to solve the cases quickly.
Normally, in order to keep an eye on a suspect, two detectives might have to stay in a car for several days, treating the car as a hotel, the seats as beds, and fast food as meals.
Luke was better, he seldom did any stalking and most of the time he would rather run around looking for clues.
Selina had enjoyed this kind of surveillance and surveillance treatment with Donald many times, so she had nothing to complain about.
All was quiet in the morning, and the surveillance was boring.
Fortunately, Luke installed a signal adapter, so the two of them could still drive around in the small town.
They had lunch at a specialty restaurant in the town. The food was pretty good and Selena didn't complain about the food.
At about five o'clock in the afternoon, Selina suddenly said, "Hey, Billy went out?"
