Chapter 276 - Boss, I’m Done

Chapter 276 Boss, I’m Done

On the camera screen, Millis was struck in the head from behind with a red rubber product, and she collapsed to one side. Then, a man growled in a low voice, “You want to ditch Manny and take all the money? The money is mine! Mine! Go to hell, b*tch!”

As he roared, there was the sound of the rubber product hitting flesh.

Elizabeth was completely lost for words as she looked at the video.

On the screen was the twisted but clear face of a man, and it was none other than Thomson, the head of security.

Luke didn’t say anything. After the man beat Millis up in a frenzy, he suddenly came back to his senses and began to clean up the mess. He was a little panicky, but still organized. He put the items that Millis had knocked over with her fall back in place, before he dragged the unconscious Millis out.

Then, the room was quiet once more.

Luke played the video at 24x the normal speed and confirmed that nobody entered the room again, until the camera stopped recording when it ran out of battery.

He raised his head and looked at Elizabeth. “It seems that this case is over now. Elizabeth, you did a great job. Keep it up.”

Elizabeth: “Huh? Okay.”

Elizabeth found some evidence bags and packed up the statue, the camera, and the perfume bottle. She then left the room with Luke.

In the garden, Luke spoke to Jennifer, who was still in a daze. “Miss Perry, please summon your security guards here.”

Jennifer didn’t ask anything and simply called for them.

The four security guards who were resting in the dorm soon arrived. None of them looked good.

They hadn’t been asked many questions, but it was still rather irritating. Everybody was eyeing them as if they were all murderers.

Also, Morgan had been taken away in the afternoon, never to return.

After being co-workers for so long, they inevitably felt sorry for him.

Looking at the security guards, Luke said, “Okay. Green, Ram and Ricky, you can go now.”

The three of them looked at each other before they left.

Luke looked at Thomson and said, “Thomson, let’s go. We need you to help us with the investigation at the police department.”

Thomson suddenly rushed toward Jennifer while he reached for his gun at the same time.

All the security guards, including Thomson, were armed.

Shaking his head, Luke stepped forward and blocked his way. He raised one hand to stop Thomson from reaching for his gun, then punched him in the stomach with his other hand.

Thomson immediately collapsed.

Luke’s punch looked light, but Thomson felt as if his stomach was cramping.

Luke handcuffed Thomson unhurriedly and said, “Thomson, what should I say about you? Trying to take Miss Perry hostage in front of three police detectives? Should I commend you on your courage?”

It was over for this guy! There were cameras on Luke’s car, which wasn’t parked very far away, and they had recorded yet more evidence to use against Thomson.

Thomson couldn’t say anything at all. There was nothing but panic and fear in his eyes.

He had no idea why he had done that either.

Maybe because Morgan had been taken away, or it was the way Luke had looked at Thomson, and how he had been kept back when his co-workers were told to go; everything seemed to be telling Thomson that his assault on Millis had been revealed.

He wasn’t wrong. Luke had asked all the security guards to come over in case Thomson grew suspicious and fled.

While Luke could still catch Thomson even if the latter ran away, he certainly wouldn’t give up an easier approach.

Jennifer appeared calm, but she looked at Thomson with abhorrence and disgust. Luke made a call. “Boss, I’m done on my end. I’ll have Selina and Elizabeth bring Thomson in.”

Elsa was at a loss. “Huh?”

Luke said, “I found evidence. Elizabeth will give you the report later. She did a good job today.”

After hanging up, Luke said, “Selina, you and Elizabeth take Thomson to the police department in our car. Elizabeth, give me your car key. I’ll drive it back when I’m done here.”

Both girls nodded and returned to the police department with Thomson and the new evidence.

Could Thomson escape from a car that Luke had modified? Not unless he had super abilities.

Watching the car drive away from the back door, Luke picked up the videotapes on the table and said, “Let’s go, Miss Perry. I need to watch all the videotapes.”

Jennifer couldn’t remain calm anymore. “Why? Haven’t you already arrested the suspects?”

Luke said casually, “Miss Perry, forgive my bluntness, but you are at the center of both cases, and you could be a suspect too. Too many celebrities have killed to keep their secrets safe.”

Jennifer was lost for words.

As they talked, they returned to Millis’s room.

An hour later, Luke came out, empty-handed.

Before he got into the car, he looked back at the security guards standing at the gate and the beautiful mansion close by, before he shook his head. “Beverly Hills? Rich people? Hehe.”

He met Elsa back at the police department. “Boss, you’re not taking a break?”

Elsa had just come out of the interrogation room. She shook her head. “Millis is also dead, from bleeding in her brain.”

Luke immediately understood.

One assault case had escalated into two murder cases, which was much more serious.

However, Elsa was feeling relaxed, since the cases had already been solved.

Evidence on both criminals had been found; there was practically no way for them to turn things around now. “Where’s Elizabeth?” Luke asked.

Elsa said, “She’s taking Thomson’s statement in the interrogation room. She’ll become used to it after she works on more cases like this.”

Luke nodded his head.

It was better to give the rookie detectives this part of the job since Elsa and Luke had taken care of the critical portion. Elizabeth and her partner could freely familiarize them with the standard procedure for resolving cases. After they entered Elsa’s office, Luke finally asked, “Is there anything I should pay attention to with these cases?”

He was sure that he hadn’t made any mistakes during the day, but he still asked Elsa the question out of habit. After all, she was the person in charge.

Elsa shook her head. “No. Are you interested in the information we managed to get?”
