Jenny took Shirley for a physical examination.

If according to her description, she should have signs of being raped, such as lacerations on her lower body.

If the check fails, it proves that she is lying.

Shirley described herself as the victim in the case. To put it bluntly, it was just her personal confession.

Still cannot rule out the possibility that she is the murderer.

Even if it is proven, her suspicion cannot be completely ruled out. After all, she and the deceased had also exercised.

Luke took out his notebook and wrote down the names of Shirley and her husband.

Both men have potential motives for committing the crime.

The reason why it is said to be potential is because it is just Luke's guess at the moment and no relevant evidence has been found.

For example, is there any conflict between Shirley and the victim?

If there is a conflict between the two and Shirley goes to the crime scene, she will be the first suspect.

Also, did Shirley’s husband know that his wife was cheating?

If the other party knows the potential motive, it becomes a clear motive.

Luke has reason to investigate Shirley's husband.

But at this stage, there is no relevant evidence.

Another possibility cannot be ruled out, that is, the crime was committed by someone who was not an acquaintance, and it was completely random.

In that case, the scope of investigation needs to be expanded.

Among them, Shirley also mentioned an important point, which is that the murderer saw a gray or black car passing by while committing the crime. According to Shirley, they should have seen the crime or at least heard the gunfire.

If the car can be found, it may prove Shirley's innocence. In addition, the group may also provide some clues about the suspects.

…

North District, Los Angeles.

The crime scene is located on the mountainside of Mount Kapol.

At eight o'clock in the evening, Luke took Xiao Hei and Jackson to have a supper near Mount Kapol.

Luke chose a roadside shop and ordered a few skewers and three beers.

That's right, just a few skewers.

One skewer of grilled beef, one skewer of grilled wings, one skewer of grilled shrimps, one skewer of grilled sausages, one grilled fish, and one grilled large pepper.

The portions are huge, enough for three people.

Luke picked up the beer and said, "Here, let's have a drink. I'll treat you tonight."

Jackson asked, "Vice team, why are you treating me tonight?"

Luke picked up a piece of beef with his fork, "Because I have money, what's the problem?"

Previously, Luke helped the supermarket resolve a robbery case and received US$30,000 in consulting fees, which he has transferred today.

This kind of extra money may seem higher than a police salary, but it is actually not stable.

And of the $30,000, apart from the hard work of investigating the case, the remaining half was due to Luke's identity as a police officer.

If Luke no longer has the position of deputy captain of the Robbery and Murder Division, it is impossible for others to pay him such a high consulting fee.

Platform is very important.

"No." Jackson shrugged.

Xiao Hei smiled and said, "Deputy Luke has solved many major cases and won a lot of bonuses."

Jackson asked, "Is there any reward for solving the case? How much is it?"

"You'll know later, rookie." Xiao Hei said perfunctorily, took a bite of the grilled sausage, and grinned when it was hot, "Luke, what are we doing here?"

"After dinner, we will go up the mountain to investigate."

Jackson was puzzled, "Why don't we visit during the day, but we have to wait until night?"

Luke took a sip of beer and smoothed it over, "We go to different places at different times, with different purposes. Those who go to the mountains during the day and those who go to the mountains at night are not the same group of people at all.

They have no interaction with each other."

Xiao Hei smiled and said, "It's like exercise.

The reporter went up the mountain for exercise in the morning, while the victim and Shirley went up the mountain for exercise at night.

If the victim hadn't been shot and killed, it would have been like two parallel lines between them. Although they both like to go to the mountains for sports, they would never have crossed paths."

Luke nodded, "That's right. After dinner, we will visit the area near the crime scene. You two will get in a car and I will follow behind.

Pay special attention to a gray or black car.

Leave the intercom on and keep in touch.”

Xiao Hei pointed at himself and then at Jackson beside him, "Why do you want me to sit in the same car with him?"

Jackson seemed a little dissatisfied with this tone, "Vice-Team, I'd like to apply for a ride with you."

Luke smiled and said, "You two don't seem to have figured out the situation yet, I have the final say here.

Cooperate well and don't cause any trouble.

Otherwise, I will report to the captain as soon as possible."

…

It's approaching nine o'clock.

A black Ford and a Mercedes went up the mountain one behind the other.

The distance between the two cars was only ten meters.

Although Luke couldn't hear or see it, he felt that the two guys were most likely bickering.

Actually, it doesn't matter.

Americans have strong personalities.

Just like him and David, the two of them had quarrels in the past, but if they can stand up to each other at critical moments, they are a good partner.

Therefore, it doesn't matter whether Xiao Hei and Jackson quarrel or not, as long as it doesn't affect cooperation.

This time with Luke following them, even if the two of them get into trouble, Luke can help them deal with it.

It's better than the two of them going on separate missions in the future and causing trouble.

Although this possibility is unlikely, Xiao Hei has an unreliable nature, and Jackson is a newbie who is not afraid of tigers. Luke thought it would be better to observe.

Luke was not driving fast and kept on the side of the road, so the two cars opened some distance.

He saw a car parked in the rest area ahead, a black SUV.

Not the model he was looking for.

Driving a short distance further, Luke saw a scantily clad blonde woman waving at the roadside.

The woman dressed very sexy, wearing a tight T-shirt with her navel exposed, a short skirt with a side zipper, and gray stockings.

Luke stopped the car, looked at the blond woman outside the car window and asked, "Is something wrong?"

"Hey tough guy, I like your car."

Luke smiled, "How do you know my strengths?"

"I can tell, where are you going?"

"I heard that the night view on the mountain is good. You can see the lights of Los Angeles. I want to go up and have a look."

"With such a big car and such a beautiful night, don't you feel too lonely alone? A tough guy."

"What good ideas do you have?"

"I can be your tour guide and let you experience another kind of beautiful scenery...more exciting." The blonde girl licked her red lips and drew circles on her chest with her right hand.

If he had just arrived in Los Angeles, this blonde girl would indeed be quite attractive to him.

But it's really not that attractive right now.

Although the blonde girl dresses very sexy, her appearance and figure are much worse than Daisy's, and there are some things she is afraid of.

"Are you here every night?"

"We can try to get along for one night. If you can pay a suitable salary, I will give you a contact information. We can contact you by phone in the future."

Luke pressed, "Were you here last night?"

"Why do you ask?" The woman seemed to notice something strange, "I made it so clear, do you want to go on a date?"

"How much?"

"$350 an hour."
