Luke narrowed his eyes.
The boy on the bed is Billy.
And the person standing by the second-floor window was Stu.
He was covered in blood, holding a dagger in his hand against the neck of a girl in front of him. That was Sidney.
The girl was naked, covered in blood, and had a terrified expression on her face. Stu, however, glanced at Billy on the bed with a weird smile on his face: "Billy, your father is also a piece of shit. Do you think he is a good guy? Without Maureen's shit, he came to seduce my mom. You guys deserve to die!"
Stu was stunned when he saw Luke appear, and then shouted: "It's you? Don't try to catch me again!" As he said that, he began to retract the dagger in his hand, trying to cut Sidney's neck.
Luke sneered, pressed down Selina's gun with one hand, and the baseball that he had just taken back in his hand turned into a white light again.
Bang!
Stu raised his head high, leaned back and fell in front of the window, and the naked Sidney in his hand fell to the ground.
Luke: "Haha, now I've caught you, haven't I?"
But the next moment, he and Selena were stunned.
Stu's body, which was so soft in front of the window, suddenly twisted, as if it had a special effect. After a moment, it turned into smoke and disappeared, leaving only a set of bloody clothes on the ground.
Luke: ⊙_⊙?!
Selena: ⊙_⊙?!
What the hell is going on
Luke understood instantly: superpowers!
Although he was not sure where Stu's superpower of disappearing out of thin air came from, this guy was definitely not a normal person.
No wonder this guy disappeared in the basement just now. It turned out that no one saved him, but he used this superpower!
Luke was a little confused: Why didn't the system tell him that he had defeated Stu? He had knocked him out twice with a baseball, so could that be considered a victory
At this moment, Dewey and Tatum arrived. Luke let Dewey pass, but grabbed Tatum and took him downstairs, saying, "Dewey, seal off the scene, and get your journalist girlfriend out of here."
Dewey: "Okay. Hey... wait, you"
But he could no longer see Luke, and he subconsciously said the second half of the sentence: "Who are you? Why do you order me around?"
As he said this, he suddenly saw Selina holding a gun in her hand, and immediately pulled out the gun alertly: "Put down the gun."
Selina rolled her eyes, slowly put the gun back into the holster under her armpit, then slowly took out a wallet from her chest and flashed it: "lapd."
Dewey: …
After taking Tatum downstairs, Luke stopped the female reporter who was trying to go upstairs. Then he stood at the stairs and whispered into Tatum's ear.
Tatum's face was full of disbelief: "How is this possible? Stu..."
Luke covered her mouth and whispered, "There are reporters over there, don't say anything."
Tatum understood, but tears welled up in his eyes: "Stu, he, he, really..."
Luke nodded slightly: "Don't be sad."
A few minutes later, Poker arrived in person with two other police cars, but their lights and sirens were not on.
There were six people in total, including Poke, who came in and asked everyone in the room to leave, including Luke and Selina.
A policeman will take them back to the police station to record their statements, and Poke will handle everything here.
This was something Luke had discussed with Poke before, and it would be best if his and Selina's identities as police officers were not made public.
There were two of the five major television networks here, and he didn't want to show his face to criminals and serial killers across America.
The best option is to do things quietly and quietly.
He took this case out of favor to Deputy Chief Condra, but the Woodsburg Police Department would not give him a promotion or a raise.
Half an hour later, Poke came back with a strange look on his face and called Luke and the other man into his office.
After closing the door, Poker was silent for a moment before he spoke: "We received news that Stu just went to Billy's house with a group of classmates. He was not at home at the time."
Luke: Haha!
Selena: ⊙_⊙
Poker: "You said you saw Stu kill Billy at home, are you sure?"
Luke: "What about Neil? Hasn't he met Stu?"
Poker frowned and nodded slowly: "Neil said that Billy kidnapped him and imprisoned him. It was Billy who took him to Stu's house at night. He has never seen Stu participate in the kidnapping."
Luke: "Bring Stu back and interrogate him, then we'll understand, right?"
As long as Stu is brought back to the police station, Luke will ask the agents from FBI Division 17 to teach him a lesson.
Poker shook his head helplessly: "But he's gone. When we rushed to Stu's house, he just left Billy's house."
Luke and Selina looked at each other: Wasn't that exactly when they were in the room, watching Stu disappear into thin air
But Luke didn't say anything, and Selina wouldn't tell anyone about the situation.
This situation is so weird that it seems pointless to talk about it. No one will believe it. Maybe Poke even suspects that there is something wrong with them.
As to whether it is a mental problem or a character problem, it is hard to say.
Poke asked two people to come in to confirm the situation.
Luke thought about it and decided to hand over the memory card of his camera. Of course, he had taken advantage of the break to transfer a copy of the file to his laptop.
"Poke, I have the video we just took. Even if Billy and Stu have an alibi, we can still issue a wanted warrant. Moreover, Billy and Stu are accomplices, and they both participated in the murder." he said.
Poker was stunned: "Huh?"
Luke shrugged. "You know, we need evidence when we investigate a case. If we don't have a law enforcement camera, we can just bring our own camera."
Poke was speechless and silently took the two memory cards from him.
If the video here is useful, he can at least close this case.
It was Stu who killed people, including Billy, and no one else.
If Stu was wrongly accused, he should come out and cooperate with the investigation.
But Poke felt that Stu might not show up.
He put the memory card away and then said, "I have another piece of news for you. Billy's father Hanks is dead in his own home. His cause of death is the same as that of the previous victims."
Luke thought about it for a moment before asking, "Why did those students go out just now?"
Poker: "There was a fire next door to Billy's house, so they went to see what was going on. Then they found that Billy's door was wide open and there was blood on the door. We went over and found that Hanks had been killed."
Luke suddenly realized.
This is Stu's way of diverting attention and luring the tiger away from the mountain.
As to whether Billy was clear about it, there is no way to verify it, because Billy is already dead.
He said, "Billy's father and Stu's mother may have had an affair, and it is also possible that Stu killed him."
