Except for cheaters like Luke who can make dozens of cakes in more than ten minutes, most police officers choose donuts as snacks.
After all, it’s high in calories, high in sugar, convenient, one-handed, and cheap.
More importantly, this thing has the most common 24-hour stores in the United States.
Police officers who need to work overtime in the middle of the night have become its loyal customers over time.
This is similar to some noodle shops in China that are open 24 hours a day.
It was also because of this that the case that Luke and the others came to assist in investigating happened here.
The two did not go in, but watched from outside the sealed store.
The glass was shattered all over the store, including the glass facing the street, and they could see most of the details from outside the store.
As the two of them were observing the scene, a car pulled up behind them: "Hey, Luke, Selina, you're here."
Luke and the other man turned around and greeted with a smile, "Good morning, Roger and Martin."
Roger is a black man, and Martin is a handsome middle-aged white man with a decadent temperament, long hair and messy beard, but he is quite stylish.
It was Roger who greeted us. He came over and lifted the seal, then motioned for everyone to enter the store. "This happened at five o'clock yesterday morning. Two gunmen on a motorcycle fired at this place with a 9mm automatic weapon. Two customers inside died on the spot, and a female clerk was slightly injured. She was scratched by broken glass. The assailant did not come in. According to the female clerk's statement, when she came out to call the police, another customer was gone. This customer was sitting at the same table with the two deceased and was a companion of one of the deceased."
Luke nodded to show that he understood.
The file contained some general information, but Roger had no idea how much they knew, so he explained the situation as concisely as possible, picking out the key points.
Selina was looking at the bodies on the ground and the surrounding environment, trying to guess the circumstances of the gunman's attack.
Luke was looking at the bullet holes on the wall. After a moment, he asked, "Did the forensics department do a bullet hole test?"
Roger: "Yes, there were two guns firing. But..."
Luke: "Is there a gun with not too many bullets left?"
Roger was surprised: "Have you gone to the forensic department to ask about the situation?"
Luke shook his head: "No, I guessed."
At this time, a woman's voice came from the door: "Well, it seems that I am late."
Everyone turned their heads to look and saw a very pretty young white woman.
She had long hair that was dyed yellow-brown and tied into a handsome high ponytail at the back of her head. She had a slender and upright figure, and wore a black suit and black skinny cropped pants.
Only one button of his suit was buttoned, and three buttons of his white shirt were undone from the collar, revealing a hint of his sexy collarbone.
Roger: "Agent Palmer, you are not late, we just arrived a little early. These are our colleagues, Luke and Selina. They will come to assist us in investigating this case for a few days."
The beautiful agent named Palmer politely shook hands with the two men and said, "I'm glad you can help me."
After that, she got straight to the point: "What did you find?"
She was asking this question to Luke and the other man, because Roger and the other man had come to the scene with her yesterday, and there were still two dead bodies lying there, and bloodstains that had not yet dried.
Now that the bodies have been taken away, there are only a few white-line human figures here. She really wants to know what these two people will see.
"Were there any witnesses to the gunman's actions?" Luke asked.
Roger shook his head. "No. At five in the morning, there was a homeless old woman outside, but she only noticed this place after being attracted by the sound of gunfire. It was only afterwards that she saw someone leaving the house. That person was the only survivor among the three guests."
Luke: "How long will the attack last? Someone knows, right?"
Roger shook his head. "The homeless old woman was a little... and the female clerk was frightened and her speech was garbled, so we can't determine the exact time of the attack. We can only estimate it to be around ten seconds."
Luke nodded thoughtfully.
The beautiful Palmer couldn't help but ask, "What's the problem?"
Luke: "If the other party didn't stop the car and just shot past, it would be a big problem."
Martin's eyes lit up: "Did you figure it out?"
Luke chuckled: "No need to guess, just tell me first."
Martin had been a bit taciturn until he realized that a colleague had the same idea as him, so he became a little more active: "I also analyzed it after reading the report of the forensic department this morning."
Roger: "Wow! I'm your partner, and you didn't tell me?"
Martin: "Haha, now that everyone is here, I only need to say it once. Only one of the two gunmen is the real killer. The bullets that hit the two dead came from his gun. If the description of the nervous female clerk is correct, the attack process may take less than two seconds."
Palmer was puzzled: "Didn't she say she couldn't remember?"
MARTIN: "When we first asked her, her statement was, 'It felt like I had been in Afghanistan for a year,' so ..."
Everyone: …
The female clerk was obviously over-stimulated and many of her memories were inaccurate.
Look at this store, at least more than 30 bullets were shot and two people died. It would be abnormal if the female clerk was in a normal mental state.
"But most of the bullets in this store were actually fired from one gun. They broke most of the things here, but did not hit the two dead people," Martin continued.
Luke laughed hard: "Maybe he is a master of human body outlining!"
Everyone: “Ah?”
Luke shrugged. "He's the kind of guy who can hit anything but the target after firing dozens of shots."
Looking at the situation in the store, everyone could only agree with this statement.
Martin nodded. "Yes. But in my opinion, it is really difficult for this man to drive with one hand and shoot with the other hand on a motorcycle that is going over 50 kilometers per hour. It is understandable that there are some small errors in the shooting. So, the man sitting behind him took action. He only fired two shots in total, hitting the heads of the two victims respectively."
Palmer Beauty was surprised: "So accurate?"
This was shooting on the move, and hitting two targets in the head with two shots, which was much more difficult than most people imagined.
"Yes, even scarier than you think," Martin said.
After taking a few steps, he opened his hands and pointed at the road outside: "When the two parties met, their cars parked in the parking spaces on the left and right sides of the store. The shooting angles of the two gunmen were only about ten meters outside the store. The gunman who was shooting from a car even shot several bullets at the cars parked outside."
