I want to know what happened today.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After arriving at the hospital, they talked outside the surgery room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What happened wasn’t complicated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Donald and Selina had returned to the scene of the crime to look for clues that they might have missed earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But somebody was in the apartment when they arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They carefully opened the door and saw that female shooter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke finally learned that the female shooter wasn’t a random person, but the missing tenant of the apartment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naturally, Donald and Selina were excited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tenant was definitely a lead. After all, it was strange that she went missing after someone died in her apartment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since she was alive, she could be the murderer, or an informant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Donald immediately stepped forward to try and take her back with them to the police department.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selina, however, was much more vigilant thanks to Luke’s training. She noticed that something didn’t look right with the tenant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She hauled Donald out of the apartment, but the tenant took out her gun and shot at them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They then took cover on the stairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that, both sides were caught at an impasse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selina and Donald outnumbered the tenant, though they weren’t as good at shooting as she was. They locked her down on the fifth floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment before Luke arrived, Donald got careless and was shot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Luke hadn’t arrived in time, the shooter could’ve left easily via the stairs instead of having to jump over ten meters between two buildings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Luke was asking about the details, Elsa finally arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was also greatly shocked when Selina told her what happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke simply told Elsa that she should turn a blind eye if she ran into the shooter, and that she shouldn’t try to arrest the woman, with or without backup, or someone might die.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a long while, Luke finally offered his theory. “It was probably this shooter who killed William.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elsa was stunned. “How can you be sure?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke said, “Do you remember what the two escorts said?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elsa asked, “You mean how someone flew over the car and blew William’s head up? Was it done by this shooter?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke said solemnly in a low voice, “Just now, with my own eyes, I saw her jump more than fifteen meters and land on the rooftop of the next building before she escaped.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elsa exclaimed and couldn’t believe it at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke said, “Let’s just wait. This isn’t a case we can handle.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a brief hesitation, Elsa asked, “What about the boss?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke said, “You go talk to him. In any case, I won’t investigate this case. That female shooter was abnormal. In order to deal with her, we’d have to surround her and barrage her with overwhelming firepower.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elsa fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could it be that simple? The female shooter certainly wasn’t an idiot who would wait to be surrounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Given her ability to jump fifteen meters, it would be near impossible to besiege her at all in this city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the discussion, Luke and Elsa left, and Selina waited at the hospital for Donald to come out of surgery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke and Elsa returned to the apartment building, which had been locked down by the police.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was no small thing that a police officer was shot, much less in a follow-up to a homicide in the apartment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke and Elsa went back to the rooftop. Luke examined the area as well as the bullet hole in the metal billboard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, he realized that the bullet was shot by none other than the female shooter herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her bullet had indeed curved!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elsa, on the other hand, looked at the footprint where the rooftop had cracked, and was convinced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the building was rather rundown, it still wouldn’t crumble that easily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only such a terrifying force could have supported a jump of fifteen meters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After figuring out the situation, Luke and Elsa left the apartment building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After they returned, they told Dustin what happened, and Dustin solemnly told them to keep it confidential, before he sent them home to get some rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke shrugged and said, “Alright. I’m going to the hospital. You can go home first.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elsa shook her head. “I’m going to find Margaret. I’m afraid that the female shooter…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke didn’t think that it was likely, but it was still a possibility. He simply reminded her, “Remember, keep as far away from the female shooter as possible if you run into her.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elsa smiled bitterly. “Is there a need to be so worried?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke was grim. “I don’t want you to get sent in for surgery. Don’t let anything happen to you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elsa nodded silently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nobody wanted anything to happen to their partner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke returned to the hospital with a bag of food, water and warm clothes for Selina, since it was inconvenient for her to get them herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the bench outside the surgery room, they talked about the female shooter again, and Selina recalled more details.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eventually, Luke and Selina confirmed an unbelievable thing: the female shooter hadn’t wanted to fight or kill Selina and Donald at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Donald and Selina hadn’t blocked the way so doggedly, the female shooter might’ve left after she forced them to retreat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The female shooter, whom even Luke had failed to take down, could’ve killed Donald and Selina at any moment, particularly when their guards were down at the beginning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she hadn’t.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke knew how good she was, even better than Selina did.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t really a problem for a shooter who was capable of Physical Outburst and Curve Shooting to kill two people who didn’t know anything about her abilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selina and Donald were probably only still alive because the shooter had spared them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason why Luke had been able to shoot her in the end was also because she only wanted to run, and had no intention of fighting the police.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke couldn’t help but feel embarrassed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Come to think of it, his last two shots had been like an ambush.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder the shooter had been angered into taking action, and had used Curve Shooting after she was shot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had it not been for Luke’s good habit of changing locations frequently, his head could’ve been blown up.\u003C\u002Fp>",1057,"2026-06-06T03:35:48.055Z",1,"novelbin.me","f88ff2496da6cd94a40a605cf67e5b766b39f2854bec194a8d74c71edc6bd047","super-detective-in-the-fictional-world-chapter-204","super-detective-in-the-fictional-world-chapter-202",2233,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsuper-detective-in-the-fictional-world-cover.jpg"]
