Chapter 384: Even If You Don’t Work Overtime Today, You’ll Have to Tomorrow

Chapter 384 Even If You Don’t Work Overtime Today, You’ll Have to Tomorrow

He couldn’t help but look at the side of the boat not far away, which had a huge dent in it.

The sunbathing spot which Luke had chosen was blocked by bushes, and was difficult to see from a distance.

As for the boat that the forensic scientists were working on, it was in a small bay that was much lower than the surrounding terrain.

Thus, the shabby pickup didn’t notice them at all when it passed by both times.

Narrowing his eyes, Luke suddenly said, “Selina, time to get to work.” Saying that, he hopped off the rocks next to the slope and dashed to the front of the pickup

Taking out his badge, he shouted, “LAPD, stop your car!”

There was a slight pause, as if the pickup was going to slow down, but a moment later, the engine revved, and it sped up.

Luke’s nose twitched, and he frowned. He then took out the Glock from his holster.

Bang! Bang!

The two shots hit the front left wheel of the pickup, and it swerved off the road.

The pickup crashed into a tree with a bam, and came to a stop.

On the other side, Selina had put on her clothes, and was running over.

Instead of approaching the car, Luke simply raised his gun and shouted, “Open the door slowly and get out of the car!”

A black man in the pickup looked at him in panic but didn’t do anything. After Selina came over and pointed her gun at the black guy from the other side of the car, Luke finally dragged him out of the car and handcuffed him.

The two forensic scientists saw what was happening and shouted, “What’s going on?”

Luke waved his hand at them and then pointed at the boat behind the pickup. “See the bow of the boat? You may want to examine it.”

The two forensic scientists came over and took a look. “This boat… Did it hit the first boat?”

One of them sniffed the air. “The smell… Is there a body on the boat?”

They looked at each other, and one of them climbed onto the back of the pickup to look at the boat, only to see something wrapped in canvas.

He easily untied the rope, which had only been carelessly wrapped twice around the object. As soon as he lifted the canvas, he instantly put on his mask and shouted, “I found a naked body. It’s a white female, around thirty years of age. The body is already decomposing.”

He shook his head helplessly. “Looks like we’ll be working overtime.”

Luke consoled them. “If you don’t work overtime today, you’ll have to work overtime tomorrow. If you think of it that way, do you feel better?”

The forensic scientist rolled his eyes. “Thanks, how considerate of you.”

Luke and Selina then interrogated the black man.

The guy was panic-stricken and reluctant to talk.

After asking a few questions, Luke gave Selina a meaningful look, and she called Elsa.

Instead of wasting time here, they may as well hand this guy over to Elsa; given her capability, she should be able to make him talk.

Would he ask for a lawyer? That was impossible. The guy was clearly very poor. If he demanded a lawyer, he would only get a public attorney, and would almost certainly spend the rest of his life in prison.

Most of the time, public attorneys who worked on cases like these weren’t much, and wouldn’t try their best to help the defendant.

They couldn’t earn anything from a case like this, and would only want to close it as soon as possible; it didn’t matter to them how much time their client would spend in jail.

At that moment, Luke was glad that he was prepared, and they could have lunch on the spot.

However, he and Selina moved some distance away, since the pickup really stank.

Handcuffing the murder suspect and stashing him in the backseat of their car, they returned to the flat area to officially have lunch.

Cheesecake with spiced beef was a rare combination, but Luke could live with it, and Selina was satisfied too.

Though spiced beef was different from steak, a glutton would never pass up delicious food.

Half an hour later, Elizabeth and Billy arrived and learned the case details from Luke and Selina. They took a look at the nude body on the boat, before driving the suspect back to the police department.

Even if there wasn’t any other evidence, they could arrest him solely for illegally hiding and transporting a body, and would have plenty of time to make him talk.

After enjoying a leisurely lunch, Luke and Selina looked for the spot where the boat had been picked up.

With his Sharp Nose, Luke soon found the location. It was a simple pier.

Walking around the pier for a while, Luke called the forensic scientists and said, “Congratulations, I’ve found the crime scene where our victim was murdered.”

“Hey! Can you be less efficient? Damn it. We’ve got a lot of things to do here,” one of the forensic scientists complained.

While speaking over the phone, Luke continued examining the scene. “The body isn’t going anywhere, but if there’s a storm, it might destroy the scene.”

The forensic scientists gave a helpless sound of agreement and said that they would send someone over.

After Luke hung up, Selina said, “Looks like it was pretty bad for her.”

Not far away from the pier was a small shack. Luke didn’t need to go in to know that it was where the suspect lived.

There were a pair of shoes and the remains of a jacket on the way from the pier to the shack.

Near the shack was more torn clothing, including underwear.

Without doubt, that naked woman had been captured and raped by that man, and finally died here.

So, it wasn’t hard to understand the suspect’s attitude.

He killed the woman, and had been caught transporting the body; it was useless for him to say anything to defend himself.

He may as well keep mum and try his luck; there were a number of cases where criminals had successfully gotten off scot free by not saying a word.

A forensic scientist arrived. Looking at the scope of investigation which Luke pointed out, he couldn’t help but shout, “Wow! I really need to thank him! He’s really an energetic son of a b*tch!”

Luke patted his shoulder and said, “If you’re upset, gather more evidence, and make him pay for his excessive energy when the time comes.”

The forensic scientists were busy for more than two hours, and by the time they were done canvassing the scene, it was already past four.

Sitting in the chairs which they had brought over with them to the new scene, Luke and Selina watched the forensic scientists pack up their equipment.

The body on the boat had already been taken away, and the two forensic scientists only needed to take the samples back with them as they knocked off work for the day.

Luke’s phone rang again.

Seeing that it was Elsa’s number, he picked up and asked, “Boss, what’s up?”

Elsa said, “You’re near Phillis Swick’s seaside villa, right?”
