Chapter 272 I’ve Never Seen Such a Murder Weapon Before

Luke showed them the item and said, “Do you see the blood on it? That should be Millis’s.”

He gave the evidence bag to the forensic scientist who was with him. The forensic scientist was clearly surprised as well. “I’ve never seen such a murder weapon in all my years of work. This murderer is truly a genius.” Luke glanced at him. “Just keep it to yourself. This case hasn’t been resolved yet.”

The middle-aged man shrugged. “Trust me, nobody likes to listen to the details of my work.”

Luke chuckled and had nothing to say about that.

Most people didn’t know how disgusting forensic work could be.

Sometimes, forensic scientists could be haunted by weird smells for days after going out just once on field duty.

It was also one of the reasons why it was even harder for a forensic scientist than a regular police officer to find a soulmate.

“Investigate the murder weapon first,” Luke said. “I’ll be waiting to close this case.”

The middle-aged man nodded and said, “The results will be out by tonight. I’ll call you.”

This was a critical case which had to be resolved before the media took note and reported it, or the police’s abilities would be called into question. The forensic scientist would’ve prioritized this case even without Luke’s reminder.

The forensic scientist left with a bunch of evidence, and Luke returned to the mansion.

“Let’s go see your room,” said Luke.

Jennifer didn’t hesitate this time. After all, now that this detective had videotapes of her greatest secret, she had nothing left to hide. Going around her room, Luke looked at her and asked, “What were you doing when Millis was attacked?”

Embarrassed, Jennifer said in a low voice, “I… I wasn’t doing anything.”

Luke pointed at the closet in the corner of her room. “Do you want me to open the closet and check it?”

Jennifer exclaimed, “No, that’s unnecessary. I was actually waiting for Millis in my room. She said she was going to fetch something, but she never returned.”

Luke asked, “Why didn’t you go look for her? You have a convenient call system in your house, right?”

Jennifer lowered her head and said, “Manny was here, too, so I forgot…” Luke raised an eyebrow. “So, before Millis was attacked, you, Manny and Millis were together?”

Jennifer could only nod, not even daring to look at him.

Selina completely shut up. She found it impossible to understand the lifestyle of the rich and famous.

Luke wasn’t surprised at all. He had discovered too many secrets with Sharp Nose. Scents would never lie.

His physical attributes were much higher than those of a normal person, and his Sharp Nose had been enhanced too.

Given enough time, and provided that the environment wasn’t spoiled by wind or a storm, he could pick up subtle scent details with Sharp Nose.

For example, it wasn’t strange that he had detected the scents of the two maids in Jennifer’s room, but the smell of certain body fluids of theirs certainly wasn’t normal.

What was even stranger was that the distinctive smells were mixed together and came from various clothes and personal items. There were similar clothes and items in the maids’ rooms as well.

While Selina was still feeling shocked over the videotapes, Luke had already seen it coming.

“What about this morning? Did you hear Manny’s scream when you were speaking to Thomson?” Luke asked.

Jennifer nodded. “I did.”

Luke asked, “Are you sure you heard Manny scream during your conversation with him?”

Jennifer frowned for a moment and nodded slowly. “I did hear Manny scream suddenly when we were talking.”

“Can the security guards enter your house at night without alerting you?” Luke asked.

Jennifer shook her head. “They each have a remote to open the door, but I receive a notification when any of the remotes are used, and I can track who opened the door.”

Luke asked, “What if you open it from inside? Will there be a record of that?”

Jennifer was stunned. “Why would I open the door… Wait, are you talking about the maids?”

She suddenly got it, and shook her head. “There’ll be a log of it if the door is opened from inside, but the maids can’t erase that.”

On the other hand, Luke was thinking that if the security guards were conspiring with the maids, they could enter the house without Jennifer realizing it at all.

“That’s all my questions for now.” Luke asked, “We’re probably going to be here for some time. Can we drive our car in?”

Naturally, it was impossible for Jennifer to refuse.

“Very well. Miss Perry, you’re free to leave now. We’ll be here for a while.” Luke’s eyes briefly stopped on the videotapes.

Jennifer could only continue nodding. She certainly didn’t want them to take the videotapes out of her sight. Luke quickly parked the car in the courtyard.

Then, he talked to Selina for a long time in the car.

After that, Selina kept Jennifer company, and Luke fetched some food and water for them from the kitchen.

As one of the top stars, Jennifer had all kinds of exquisite food in her house.

Selina wasn’t picky about the food, but she drank the Dr. Pepper that was in Luke’s car and not Jennifer’s VOSS water.

While Jennifer was distracted, Luke reentered Millis’s room and watched the only videotape that had a special number on it.

Then, he chuckled, feeling bored.

At that moment, he suddenly recalled what Takagi had said before: “What kind of terrorists are you? You only want money?”

Now, he was of a mind to shout, “What kind of love is this?”

The murder weapon and the videotapes were enough to show what happened.

However, Luke couldn’t close the case yet, because he didn’t have any proof.

Unless the criminal had left evidence on the murder weapon, the case couldn’t be closed, even if he knew every detail of it.

He then talked to Selina for a while, and told her to take a nap in the car while he kept Perry company.

Luke had some water and asked, “Miss Perry, what will you do when the case is over?”

Jennifer was clearly at a loss. “I… I don’t know.”

Luke nodded and said, “Understandable.” The star would definitely be traumatized after this incident.

Suddenly, his phone rang.
