So, where is the evidence
Luke thought about it and took Elizabeth into the house first.
As they walked, he asked, "Lisa, how's your case going?"
Elizabeth walked one step behind him and whispered, "It's really a bit weird. That corpse... is really the mother."
Luke paused. He didn't expect this to be the answer. "Don't worry for now. That case is not going to be easy. Let's finish the case here first, and then we can go check out the female corpse that has been dead for a year but is still so lifelike."
Elizabeth nodded, not doubting at all that Luke would close the case today.
As Luke walked, he kept talking: "What can you think of about the case here? For example, how to find evidence that Thompson did it."
Elizabeth knew that Luke was using the case to train her abilities, and she immediately frowned and began to think.
She had just investigated Thomson's information. There were a lot of suspicious points about this man, but there was no evidence that could prove that he attacked Millis.
No fingerprints, no bloodstains, no witnesses, no surveillance, nothing.
Even if he lied, it couldn't prove he did anything.
After thinking for a moment, an idea suddenly occurred to her: "The crime scene. Millis was found in the small living room, but I've read some preliminary investigation materials. The small living room is too tidy and doesn't look like a crime scene."
Luke nodded slightly: "And then?"
Elizabeth: "Would that be... in her own room?"
Luke nodded and shook his head again: "The forensic personnel who came last night checked Millis's room and found nothing either."
Elizabeth frowned. "Could it be that they missed some clues?"
Luke: "It's possible. Any other ideas?"
As he said this, he and Elizabeth stood between the red and blue doors.
Elizabeth looked around the door and suddenly realized: "Manny's room?"
Luke smiled: "Yes, this is at least a possibility. Come on, come in and take a look together."
The two men pushed the door open and looked around Manny's room.
Elizabeth felt strange after discussing with Luke just now: "It's not right, why do I feel..."
Luke: "It feels like I've been cleaned up."
The room was not entirely tidy, but it was supposed to be accessible, and the few things that were placed there were neatly arranged, as if they had just been put away.
The two of them looked at the things in the room.
Manny is a woman, and not the kind of woman with obsessive-compulsive disorder. There are a lot of things in her house.
Although it wasn't dirty or messy, there were plenty of fancy things. Perfumes, cosmetics, and miscellaneous clothing accessories, shoes and bags were placed everywhere.
Elizabeth took a few glances and said in amazement: "Wow, being a maid makes so much money? You can even afford Dior perfume? Let me see, this is the one that was released last year, suitable for women with a youthful and mature temperament. Yes, it is indeed suitable for Manny. These two are from this year, one for mature women, and one for... young girls?"
Luke's eyes slowly moved around the room, and he asked, "I'm only 24 years old, so I'm considered a girl, right?"
Elizabeth was silent for a moment, still unable to tolerate the absurd statement of "24-year-old girl": "But this girl's perfume is only suitable for those in their early twenties. It's a stretch for those in their twenties, unless they are born with a baby face. Looking at her other perfumes, she doesn't seem like someone who would choose the wrong perfume."
Luke: "Maybe she suddenly feels that she can't be mature anymore and wants to be younger."
Elizabeth: “… Well, it’s certainly possible.”
Luke: "Any other findings?" He felt that Manny might have indeed felt threatened by Millis.
Millis is only twenty years old, much younger than Manny.
That girlish perfume was obviously more suitable for Millis, but Manny bought a bottle. The meaning was self-evident.
Wait! That's not right!
Luke's expression changed, and he walked to the bottle of perfume and sniffed it slightly.
With my sensitive sense of smell, I can smell a faint scent of Thomson on this perfume bottle, and then a scent of Millis, but... no scent of Manny.
This is interesting.
Using the simplest logic, this bottle of perfume on Manny's dressing table was not touched by Manny herself, but by Millis and Thomson.
Moreover, the smell of this perfume was a little familiar, as if he had smelled it in Jennifer's room. However, not only was it mixed with other perfumes, but it was also very thin, so he didn't pay much attention to it.
Now with a whole bottle in front of him, Luke could tell that there was something wrong with the scent of the perfume.
He carefully distinguished the smell of the perfume for a moment, and said, "Elizabeth, take a closer look. Is there anything else in this room that doesn't fit Manny's style?"
Elizabeth looked around again and suddenly saw something: "Manny doesn't seem to like the style of this craft. Besides, this thing is not suitable to be placed here."
It was a handicraft full of elegance. There was a very abstract sculpture on the black square base, which was placed on the small box on the side of the makeup mirror.
Luke took a few glances at it and felt it looked familiar. After a moment, he remembered that there was an almost identical craft in the corner of Jennifer's bedroom.
He didn't touch it immediately, but instead used his keen sense of smell.
This thing was the same as the perfume bottle, with only the scent of Millis and Thomson. The scent of Thomson was also very faint, and it was obvious that he had only been exposed to it briefly.
At the same time, Luke smelled another smell inside the handicraft, which was not the smell of the material of the handicraft itself.
He took out a pair of gloves and looked at the craft carefully for a moment. Finally, he pressed a certain place with his finger through the gloves, and a piece of the base fell off.
Elizabeth: "Wow, there's a camera hidden in there?" She was a little surprised.
After the piece of material at the base was loosened, the entire base was empty, with a small camera inside.
Luke took the camera out and found that it was out of battery.
"Lisa, go to Millis's room and see if there is a charger for this camera." he said.
Elizabeth immediately went to the opposite room and returned a moment later with a charger.
Luke plugged in the power and activated the playback function on the camera.
It was the voice of Millis: "Well, Manny, you idiot, I'm going to teach you a lesson this time! Haha, with these things, Jennifer will do whatever I say. All your efforts are in vain, Jennifer's money will all be mine, haha!"
Elizabeth was dumbfounded when she heard this: This inside information was too explosive, wasn't it? The two maids were fighting for Jennifer's money, and even used a camera.
However, a few seconds later, a muffled thud was heard from the camera, and Millis disappeared from the camera.
