Chapter 294: Closure and Business Introduction

Chapter 294 Closure and Business Introduction

Luke said, “So, did Lady Heather’s sister ever mention where is the evidence that Todd killed Kelly? I suspect that Kelly refers to Todd’s ex-wife.”

Old Greyson: “I’ll ask.”

Luke hung up and waited.

Half an hour later, Old Greyson sent Luke a message that there was a basement in Todd’s house that had been sealed for two years.

Seeing that another ambulance had arrived and the paramedics had started working, Luke looked at the truck and sighed. “It seems that they really will be plagued with bad luck.”

Slightly disappointed, he walked to his car.

Selina greeted him. “Okay, let’s call it a day. I’ve transferred the job over to the hospital and the police department.”

Luke relaxed; he didn’t have to waste time talking to other people anymore. “What do you want to eat tonight?”

Selina said, “Barbecue.”

Luke was amused. “Okay, let’s buy the meat first and then go home.”

After the barbecue, Selina did the dishes and went to train, while Luke went out again with Secretary Jenny.

Since Luke had agreed to two nights, he certainly had to keep his promise.

At midnight, Luke received Old Greyson’s call.

He answered the phone on the balcony. “Hey, what’s wrong?” Old Greyson said, “Nothing, I just want to take her back sooner.”

Luke thought for a moment and said, “Ask her if she wants to sue Todd for compensation over Sarah’s death. If she does, she better gather all the evidence together quickly, since the matter of Todd’s ex-wife will be reported tomorrow.”

Todd was dead, but he still had property under his name.

As Sarah’s sister, Lady Heather had the right to sue Todd.

Once it was proven that he was Sarah’s killer, Sarah’s family would be able to get a share of his assets.

But if Lady Heather was slow to act, Todd’s money might all go to his ex-wife’s family as compensation, and it would become tricky then.

After a brief silence, Old Greyson said, “Okay, I’ll talk to her. Also… thank you.”

Luke: “Hm, let me ask you something. Are the two of you… Forget it. Bye.”

As soon as he started to ask the question, he felt that he had crossed the line.

So far, Old Greyson had never asked questions about his personal life, so it was obviously inappropriate for Luke to do so in return.

If there was anything between them, Old Greyson would’ve introduced her outright as his girlfriend or wife. The next day, Luke and Selina found Elsa and told her what happened last night.

Of course, they simply said that they went to Todd’s house because they received information from a source.

Elsa looked at Luke and asked, “So, what’s the lead?”

She wouldn’t ask who the source was. She wouldn’t tell Luke who her sources were either.

They were a detective’s personal connections. The more people knew about them, the more danger they would be in. Luke said, “Todd probably killed his ex-wife and buried her in cement in his basement.”

Elsa was stunned. “Holy sh*t! That guy’s so ruthless?”

She trusted Luke because most of what Luke said had turned out to be true so far.

“Are you going to follow up on the case?” asked Elsa.

Luke quickly shook his head. “If your new partner is free, boss, it’ll be a good opportunity for him to gain more experience.”

Elsa rolled her eyes. “Okay, I’ll remind Simmons to take a few more evidence bags with him.”

Luke gave her a thumbs up and left.

What were the bags for? To contain the vomit, of course.

Todd had been single for years, which meant that his ex-wife had been missing for years.

Luke certainly wasn’t interested in examining a body that had been buried for years.

Luke’s phone rang after he left Elsa’s office. Looking at the number, Luke picked up the call. “Hello, Jennifer. How can I help you?”

After a brief hesitation, Jennifer said on the phone, “I’ve hired a new security team, and I was wondering if you could help me take a look at them.”

Luke thought for a moment before agreeing to her request.

The woman had just donated two million dollars to the police department. It wouldn’t be good if he came across as too cold.

He spoke to Elsa before leaving for Jennifer’s house with Selina.

Jennifer received them in the garden. After the maid served them some drinks, she said, “Thanks for dropping by. I’ve been feeling uneasy since what happened a couple of days ago, so I’m hoping that you can check my security arrangements and see if there are any flaws or shortcomings.”

Luke was speechless for a moment. He then said, “Jennifer, I’m afraid you might have misunderstood something. We’re police detectives. We’re not trained to protect people, and we might not be able to pick out the flaws in your security if they exist.”

Jennifer was completely lost. “Huh? But I thought you’re quite good. You found Thomson out so quickly.” Luke was amused. “Cracking cases and protecting key figures are two different things. I really don’t think I can help.”

Thinking for a moment, he then said, “However, I know a professional who’s good at

it.’

Jennifer asked, “Your colleague?”

Luke shook his head. “Do you know Sheerah?”

Jennifer frowned and thought for a moment. “The singer?”

Luke nodded. “Yes, she hired a bunch of professionals as security guards for her concert. There’s a guy called Bryan who’s quite good. If you want, I can help get you his contact.”

Jennifer didn’t seem reassured. “But you don’t know them well, do you?”

Luke chuckled. “Bryan and his team are professionals. Also, you’re only hiring them to inspect your security, not to protect you forever. You don’t have to worry.”

After a brief hesitation, Jennifer agreed to the plan.

Luke called Sheerah and asked about Bryan’s team. They were indeed professionals, and they charged pretty high, too. Sheerah had paid almost a hundred thousand dollars for their protection services at her concert previously, and that was still a family/ friend rate since she knew someone in Bryan’s team.

Bryan’s team was picky as well. They only accepted quick and short jobs, and refused tricky ones that might take a while.

Sheerah specifically stated that the team was made of retirees, and they weren’t really doing this for the money.
