Luke looked shocked. "Really? What did he do?"

Elsa hesitated for a moment and motioned for Selina to close the door.

"Dustin gave me some information, and I also asked some people myself." Even after closing the door, she kept her voice down. "It is said that there was a conflict between Bullseye and an unknown force in an abandoned factory in the southwest area. The two sides fought there, and more than 30 people died on the scene. In the end, Bullseye lost and was chased all the way. He fled to the seaside and took a boat away."

Luke's face was full of disbelief: "Who is it? Is this a powerful Los Angeles gang?"

Elsa shook her head: "Not really. Maybe he's the same kind as Bullseye. You know what I mean, right?"

Luke and Selina looked at each other with subtle expressions.

Elsa thought they were thinking of the previous cases. "Yes, so this case has nothing to do with us. Now people from the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI have arrived, and they are all looking for Bullseye. If this guy doesn't want to be found, he can only sneak back to New York secretly. That's where Kingpin's power is the strongest, and it's difficult for others to find him."

Luke nodded with relief: "Does that mean I'm okay?"

Selena had an inexplicably strange expression.

Elsa: "Logically, that's right. But we all thought Bullseye had left, but he hid for so long. You'd better be careful. For the time being, stay in the police station and guide Elizabeth and the others to handle the case. Once it's confirmed that Bullseye has really left, you can officially go on duty."

Luke and Selina: "Understood, Boss."

Elsa: "Elizabeth and the others have taken the case files, you guys go and get busy."

Luke nodded, and Selina stepped forward and handed the snack box to Elsa as usual.

Elsa put it away with extremely skillful movements. This tiramisu was more to her taste and she was very satisfied with it yesterday.

Luke and Selina returned to their desks.

Seeing the strange expression on the woman's face, he reminded her angrily, "Acting skills, understand? Even Stu from Wurzburg is much better than you in acting. The more knowledge you have, the better your acting skills should be. It's okay in front of Elsa just now, but if other people accidentally talk about it, your acting skills will be discovered sooner or later."

Selina nodded silently.

She had to admit that Luke's acting was pretty good just now, as if he really knew nothing about what happened last night.

On the contrary, she actually wanted to laugh in her heart.

The two chatted for a few words before Elizabeth and Billy came over.

The two newlyweds deliberately chose a table that was closer to Luke and the others, just a few steps away.

I just saw Luke and the other man whispering something, but they didn't come over immediately.

After nodding to each other, Elizabeth began to read the information.

In this regard, they are the same as Luke. The women are responsible for collating and analyzing intelligence, while the men are responsible for determining the direction of solving the case, as well as various rough and heavy work such as warning certain dishonest personnel, or handcuffing them and taking them back to the police station.

Elizabeth: "Right now, we have three new cases on hand. One is that there is a problem with a house in the Weaver community. The new resident called the police yesterday and said there was a body inside, but the police didn't find anything. Another one was also last night in Beverly Hills. A maid of a big star was seriously injured and unconscious. It is suspected that she was hit on the head by a blunt object and could die at any time. The last case was also in the Weaver community. A female body was found on a bench on the street. This is a case we received ten minutes ago, and we are preparing to go there."

Selina: "What's the situation with the new resident in Weaver Community who called the police? Is it necessary for us to investigate if there's no body?"

Elizabeth: "Originally, the case should have been dismissed, but the new tenant's family told them about the previous tenant's daughter. The previous tenant's daughter was only five years old, and she disappeared a year ago. The previous tenant was the missing girl's parents. The mother died of a myocardial infarction due to excessive grief within a month, and the father committed suicide in the house shortly afterwards."

"What about the case of the celebrity's maid?" Selina continued to ask.

Elizabeth: "The big star said that he didn't know who beat the maid to death. She said she was sleeping at night and had no idea about it."

Selina chuckled and looked at Luke who was leisurely spinning a pen beside her.

Luke thought for a moment and said, "Go check out the body on the bench at Weaver Community first. We'll study the files on the other two cases first."

Elizabeth and the other person nodded, took the two files, and went out to investigate the case.

Luke looked at Selina: "You choose first?"

Selina decisively took up the case of the superstar's maid.

Luke: Haha, I knew this would happen.

Although she is a tomboy and doesn't chase stars, she is very interested in celebrity gossip and inside stories. This is human nature.

Anyway, she just watched it for fun and never leaked it to anyone else. Luke reminded her twice and she stopped talking nonsense.

The two of them each picked up a file and started reading it.

It only took Luke ten minutes to finish reading the two files in his hands.

One contains various situations and interrogation records of the new residents in the Weaver community, and the other contains information about the missing little girl a year ago.

Taken separately, these two files are not unusual at all, and any one of them is commonplace.

It is not uncommon for families in the United States to suffer from collective hysteria every year due to fear from so-called "haunted houses", and there are countless cases of missing little girls.

But when the two cases are linked together, it is very interesting.

It's strange why the new residents said they saw the little girl.

If the new residents didn't want to make some big news, then what could have happened

At this time, Selina noticed that he had finished reading the file and said, "Come and look at this with me?"

Luke nodded and moved over to sit on the arm of her chair, watching along.

Selina had already looked through various testimonies, so she gave him a preliminary report of the first half of the scene.

Luke took a few glances and said, "Jennifer Perry? I think she's the one in the Dior perfume commercial?"

Selena answered casually, "Yeah. The one where she takes off her clothes while walking, and the diamond jewelry at the end is so dazzling that it can blind people's eyes."

Luke: “… When I first saw it, I thought it was a diamond advertisement.”

Selena: "She is indeed very rich and even more famous, and this case is still completely closed."

Luke: "Hey, rich people get preferential treatment."

Selina: "Come on. Maybe Elsa gave this case to us because you have experience in dealing with rich women."

Luke: ...You mean those professional men who provide special services

The two of them argued for a while, and then Luke's phone rang. He looked at the number and picked it up: "Elizabeth, what's going on?"
