Velen Apartment, Room 305.

"Look up." Luke stared at the other person and asked, "What's your name?"

"Theo Holder."

Luke pulled out a picture of Henry Lawley, "Have you seen him?"

Theo Holder glanced at the photo and turned away, "I haven't seen it before."

"Where were you between two and three o'clock yesterday morning?"

Theo Holder raised his eyebrows, "I can't remember."

"Then think carefully."

"I should be at home, yes, I am at home."

"Lying is not a good habit." Luke took out the video surveillance outside the bar, "Is this person you?"

Theo Holder looked nervous, stared at the video for a while, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "Come on, this surveillance camera can't even capture my face, and it wants to frame me with this."

Luke walked up behind Theo Holder and said, "Although the video didn't capture your front, the tattoo on the back of your neck was clearly captured."

Theo Holder spoke in a high tone, "Many people have this tattoo, you can't convict me based on just one tattoo.

I still say the same thing, you have found the wrong person."

Luke walked to the bedside table, opened the cabinet, and took out a beautiful watch with a dark green dial and black strap. It was worth a lot at first glance.

Theo Holder's eyes widened, "Hey, put down my watch and don't dig through my drawers."

"Your watch?"

"That's right."

"Are you renting this apartment?"

Theo Holder was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't know why Luke asked, "What does it have to do with you?"

"This watch can buy this apartment."

"So what? I just like freedom and I like renting a house everywhere instead of being confined to a certain place. This is my freedom. Do you police have to control this?"

Luke ignored him and continued, "If I remember correctly, this should be a limited edition Patek Philippe. The back case of each watch has a special number, so the purchasing customer's information can be easily traced."

Hearing this, Theo Holder obviously felt guilty.

Luke continued, "Where did this watch come from?"

"Picked it up."

"Where did you pick it up?"

“Near Naseem Bar.”

"To be precise, I probably picked it up from Henry Lawley.

Tell me, where is Henry Lawley?"

"I have no idea……"

"Then why do you have his watch?"

"I……

I saw him in the alley behind the bar, and I told him that I was a little tight and short of money.

He is a kind man and took the initiative to give me this watch."

Luke didn't believe his lies, but he didn't expose him immediately and continued to ask, "What else did he give you?"

"He knew I needed money and gave me my wallet."

"where?"

"In the closet drawer."

Xiao Hei walked to the closet, opened the drawer, and found a black wallet. He pinched it with his hands and said, "The leather is good and it's from a famous brand. No wonder you kid can't bear to throw it away."

Xiao Hei opened his wallet, and inside there was only a credit card and a key.

Luke took the wallet and asked, "Whose credit card is it?"

"Henry's."

"Where's the key?"

"What I found in my wallet should also be his."

Luke picked up the key and looked at it carefully. It looked like a key to a door lock. Luke handed it to Xiao Hei and said, "Keep these."

"Where did Henry Lawley go after he gave these things to you?"

"I don't know, I left first.

However, I left him twenty dollars for taxi fare."

Luke was a little dumbfounded and waved his hand, "Take him back to the police station."

…

December 13, morning.

Robbery and Murder Division Office.

Luke walked to the office area with a cup of coffee, leaned against the table, and called everyone into a meeting.

"Guys, let's talk about the progress of yesterday's investigation."

The deputy said, "Last night, I interrogated Theo Holder who you captured. He probably only committed robbery and did not know the whereabouts of Henry Lawley.

I have seen too many bad boys like this. When I see a fat sheep like Henry Lawley, I will definitely want to pluck the wool.

But it won’t kill the other party.”

Xiao Hei said, "Before, we carefully investigated the alley near the bar. The alley extends in all directions and connects many streets. Moreover, many places are not monitored, so it is very difficult to investigate."

Jackson said, "Actually, I think that after being robbed, Henry Lawley would most likely not run deeper into the alley, because it would probably be more dangerous there.

According to common sense, he should have run to the street to ask for help or took a taxi to leave."

Xiao Hei retorted, "But the bar surveillance did not see him returning to the roadside to take a taxi."

Jackson said, "I looked at the bar surveillance carefully, and the area captured was not very large.

Henry Lawley was robbed near a bar, and he may have instinctively thought that bars were dangerous.

I think he might stay away from the bar and take a taxi somewhere further away.

I think we should carefully check the vehicles near the bar during that time."

Luke nodded, "It can be used as a direction for investigation."

Raymond said, "Yesterday we were investigating the identity of the man who was drinking at the table with Henrik Lawley at Nasim's Bar, and a customer in the bar recognized him.

According to bar patrons, his name is Will Stout, who is also a frequent visitor to the bar and lives in the Okay community near the bar.

In addition, we investigated Will Stout's information and found that he had a history of theft and violent crimes."

Luke said, "Raymond, Jenny, Potter, you come with me to visit this friend who is drinking at the same table as Henry Lawley.

Others continued to follow Henry Lawley."

"yes, sir."

…

Okaee Community.

This is an old-fashioned community. Most of the community is dilapidated bungalows, and the small yard is full of debris.

The car was parked outside a gray bungalow. There was a small yard in front of the bungalow. On the left side was a black Toyota car of unknown owner. On the right side were some worn-out furniture and overgrown weeds. Only one person's width was left.

small road.

Jenny lamented, “I never thought that the future governor would have friends who live such a ‘frugal’ life.”

Porter spread his hands, "Maybe the future governor didn't expect that he would have an extra 'friend'."

Luke ignored the word game between the two and walked to the old Toyota car to check. The front of the car was at normal temperature and there was no abnormality found in the car.

Then, he walked towards the gray bungalow and stepped on the steps of the house with a creaking sound.

"Dong dong..." Potter knocked on the door.

no respond.

"Hey, is anyone in the house?"

Still no response.

Luke walked around the house and found that the four windows around the house were open and he could see the situation in the house. He looked carefully through the windows and found that the house was in a mess and no one was seen.

Luke wrinkled his nose, "Did you smell anything unusual in the house?"
