The morning of December 30th.

Robbery and Murder Division, 1st Squadron Office.

Luke held a morning meeting to compile clues for the case investigation.

Mary from the technical team also attended the meeting.

Mary took out a piece of information and said, "Yesterday, we searched the Gray couple's home and found large traces of processed blood in the Gray couple's home.

These bloodstains have been treated with sterilized water, so complete DNA cannot be extracted and only blood type O can be identified.

The blood type of the deceased Kelu Jones was also type O.

In addition, we also found two drops of blood suspected to be from the deceased in the bedroom. These two drops of blood were relatively hidden, so they were not cleaned up in time.

We extracted DNA from the blood and it was determined to match the DNA of the deceased Kelu Jones."

Xiao Hei concluded, "In other words, the bedroom of Gray's house should be the scene where Killua Jones was killed."

Mary said, "I'm just stating the evidence and identification results of the crime scene. As for whether it is a murder scene, you still need to judge for yourself."

Luke connected the situation in the bedroom with the clues of the case. Although it is not yet completely certain that the Gray's bedroom is the murder scene, the existing evidence points to this, and the probability is extremely high.

Luke asked, "Did you find the address of the Gray family's suburban vacation home?"

Jenny said, "Yes, we checked the property records in their name. Mr. Gray does have a property in the suburbs of Los Angeles. It is probably the vacation home mentioned by the neighbors."

If Mr. and Mrs. Gray are really the murderers, then the suburban vacation home is likely to be another stronghold for them, and some evidence of the case may also be left there.

Luke immediately led the team to the suburban holiday house.

…

Suburbs of Los Angeles.

Olive Villa area.

It is located near the seaside and has beautiful scenery. Many houses are built on the hillside. You can see the sea from the yard of your villa. The afterglow of the setting sun shines on the sea like a fairyland.

Many wealthy people come here to stay for a few days on vacation and enjoy the scenery and tranquility during the holiday.

Luke led the team to the Gray family's vacation home. It covers a large area and is covered with vegetation around the yard. There are also two tall palm trees planted in the yard, a massage swimming pool, and a variety of flowers and plants planted in the yard.

, very comfortable and quiet.

Luke walked to the door of the yard and pressed the video doorbell, but there was no response after pressing it several times.

Then, Luke took out his pistol, waved his hand to the team members behind him and ordered, "Be alert.

Raymond led people to search the yard.

Others followed me to search the inside of the villa."

"yes, sir."

The wooden fence surrounding the yard was only one meter high, making it easy for people to climb into the yard.

Xiao Hei took out the lock picking tool box and opened the villa door.

Porter was the first to burst into the villa with a gun.

The villa was very quiet, no movement could be heard, and the slight footsteps of the team members could be faintly heard.

Soon everyone searched the living room on the first floor, "Safe."

"Safety."

"Safety."

Everyone searched the villa separately and found no trace of anyone.

Luke checked the dining room and bedroom and found signs of living here. There was food and leftover red wine on the dining table.

Two wine glasses and two cutlery.

The food on the table has not rotted yet, indicating that it has not been a long time since the last meal.

"Search the villa carefully to see if the suspect left any clues." Luke went to the garage. If the Grays wanted to escape, they would definitely drive away.

Luke had previously asked someone to check that the Grays had three cars in their names, a car, an SUV, and a pickup truck.

Among them, only one car was found in Mrs. Gray's house in Los Angeles, and it stands to reason that the other two cars were probably kept at the vacation home.

Luke walked into the garage to check. There was only a pickup truck in the garage and no SUV named under Mrs. Gray's name was found.

Porter shouted, "Captain, we found a secret room in the villa, and there seems to be a sound inside."

Luke returned to the villa and walked to the door of the secret room under the leadership of Porter.

The door of the secret room is hidden under the carpet. It is difficult to find without searching carefully. When you lift the carpet, you can see a secret door that is one person tall and eighty centimeters wide. When you open the secret door, there is a ladder below.

Luke took the flashlight and shined it downwards, and walked down the stairs. There was a door inside, and there was a faint whining sound.

Luke leaned against the door and listened carefully, like someone's cries for help after being gagged.

He looked at Xiao Hei aside and asked, "Can you open the door?"

Xiao Hei patted the dark blue iron door and said, "It will take some time."

Luke looked down at his watch and said, "I'll give you ten minutes. If you can't open it, just use the door breaker."

"let me try."

Xiao Hei took out the lockpicking tool and started tinkering again. This time it actually took longer to open the door than it did to open the villa door.

A few minutes passed.

"Click!" a crisp sound.

The lock was opened, Xiao Hei wiped the sweat from his head and stepped aside, "I have to take a rest, I'll leave it to you."

Porter kicked open the iron door, and Jackson was the first to rush in with a gun, "lapd!"

"Police, don't move!"

Porter, Luke and others followed closely behind. The secret room was not large and was brightly lit by flashlights.

In the secret room, a white woman wearing burgundy pajamas was sitting in the corner, her hands and feet were handcuffed, her mouth was sealed with tape, and her long legs were exposed.

There was no one else in the room, and there was a safe and an ordinary wooden cabinet.

"Woooo..." The white woman struggled even more fiercely.

Jenny also entered the secret room and helped her untie the tape on her mouth, "Woooo..." the white woman cried loudly, "

God, I thought I was going to die.

Thank you for saving me, thank you.

Where is my husband?"

Luke walked closer and comforted, "Madam, you don't have to be nervous, we are lapd, you have been saved.

Who imprisoned you here?"

"I have no idea……

This is what I looked like when I woke up."

"What happened before you passed out?"

"I was in the restaurant, having dinner with my husband, we had a little wine and we were talking about a Christmas party...

Then, I felt a little dizzy.

He helped me go to the bedroom to rest, and then I didn't know anything else.

Where is my husband?

How is he now?"

"Madam, we did not find your husband."

"what does that mean?

Did something happen to him too?"

"We can't be sure at the moment and are looking for him."

"It's so scary, I thought I was going to die! Woo hoo..." the white woman cried again.

Luke took her to the living room and changed the environment. The white woman's mood became calmer.

Jenny poured her a glass of water. She picked up the water glass and drank it all in one breath. "Can you give me another glass? Thank you."

Jenny nodded and turned around to pour water.

Luke asked, "Ma'am, what day was it when you fell into a coma?"

"On December 29th, we will start having dinner at six o'clock in the evening."

Luke counted on his fingers and found that the time was not long, only 18 hours had passed.

"Madam, what is your name?"
