The Fruit Shop Deception
The BMW pulled away from the entrance of Dalton Fruit Co., leaving Luke Sullivan standing unsteadily on his feet.In response to his obvious flirting, Wendy Felix had only replied softly, "I'm sorry, I don't have a surgical knife with me today!" Though her voice was gentle, her message was clear.Luke didn't feel rejected. Instead, he became more interested in Wendy Felix. Although she usually looked flirty and charming, she had principles and wasn't as easy as Luke had thought. The harder something was to get, the more he wanted it.Thinking back to his victory at the cemetery, Luke felt incredibly happy and started humming a tune as he walked upstairs. But when he reached his apartment and took out his key, his whistling suddenly stopped. He saw Jenna Dalton sitting right on his doorstep!Luke froze, not knowing whether to go forward or turn around. After solving the Maimed Case, Luke had seriously thought about the situation with Jenna Dalton. He wasn't sure why he seemed afraid of
The Celebration
Both Lila Davis and Sophia Young—he wouldn't think about them anymore! The case was closed, the criminal caught, and Lila Davis's mother would be taken care of. The Maimed Case was over! Now it was time to celebrate!With the hundred thousand dollars he'd received from Sophia Young, Luke Sullivan could consider himself pretty well-off. Being naturally generous, he not only ordered Sailor 's best food and drinks but also invited everyone to karaoke afterward to enjoy the night to the fullest! Everyone from Team A showed up except for Raymond Larson, who was in the hospital, and substitute leader Vincent.No joke—Luke had threatened everyone that if they didn't come, they could never look him in the eye again! One detective's mother-in-law was having surgery that night, but he still snuck out of the hospital to join the party. His wife had called over a hundred times, but he didn't dare answer!"Luke, Luke, quick, quick!" Seeing Luke lost in song, Adam Mercer raised his cell phone and
The Truth Behind the Maimed Case
Sophia Young forced a sad smile and sighed, "Maybe this is all fate! To get her revenge and cut off my hand, Lila Davis dug up my father's grave! I guess this was meant to be!""Oh..." As he heard this, Luke Sullivan suddenly understood. The person who had placed the blade for Lila Davis wasn't Sophia Young—it was Sophia Young's father!"Twenty years ago before the finals, we were practicing in Riverside Heights School's music hall according to the competition rules," Sophia Young remembered. "My practice time was set for three in the afternoon, and I had finished practicing. But that night, my father suddenly said he'd left something in the hall and told me to stay in the hotel while he went back! I saw my father looking worried and thought he must have lost something important. I was concerned and wanted to go with him, but he firmly refused! My father rarely spoke to me in such a strong tone, so I knew not to follow. I could only wait in the hotel since he wouldn't let me come alo
You’re Wrong about Something
When Sophia Young woke up in the hospital, of course there were police officers waiting to question her. But because the case had such a complicated history, they couldn't tell her everything. Just like at the Grand Piano Competition years ago, no one had mentioned Lila Davis's name to her.But when Detective Luke Sullivan brought up Lila Davis, Sophia Young didn't look surprised at all. She acted like she knew the name well. In fact, she seemed to already know that Lila Davis was the one who had attacked her! Even stranger, Luke Sullivan hadn't even explained what happened, but Sophia Young already knew exactly what had happened to Lila Davis. This made her look very suspicious. The truth was, Luke Sullivan had set a trap, and Sophia Young had walked right into it.Sophia Young realized her mistake too late. She sat there nervously, fidgeting and picking at her arm."Miss Sophia ," Luke Sullivan kept his voice calm and steady, "Last year on May 22nd, Mary Nelson became the first vict
Case not Completed
In Team A's office, Luke Sullivan pinned the photo of himself and Lila Davis taken at the gravesite onto the center of the whiteboard. By displaying this photo, it marked the official closing of the Maimed Case.Looking at the whiteboard filled with case information, Luke Sullivan felt a deep sense of accomplishment. From the beginning to the end of the Maimed Case, he had put in tremendous effort. Though the Crime System had helped him, his own persistence played a key role. Thinking back on all the ups and downs during the investigation, Luke Sullivan realized he had actually become somewhat addicted to the process.Luke Sullivan stared blankly at the whiteboard, lost in thought. He didn't even notice Bella approaching with the money he had dropped."Hey boss, still daydreaming?" Bella held the few hundred dollars in her hands and laughed. "To be honest, I had my doubts about you! It's truly a miracle!" After expressing her amazement, Luke Sullivan remained unresponsive. He kept s
Luke’s Outrage
When Luke Sullivan started talking street slang, everyone in the police station froze - both the cops and the troublemakers."Bro...I..." The blonde's face turned purple. "I...I don't know what you mean.""What the hell!" Luke yelled. "How are you on the streets if you don't know this stuff? Are you a baby? Listen up - red lips means if you slap someone, you pay them with red bills. White knife means if you cut someone, you pay with silver. Golden finger...""I get it!" Bella cut in. "Golden finger means if you cut off someone's finger, you pay them with gold!""Exactly!" Luke gave Bella a thumbs up, then turned back to the blonde. "We're in a police station, so we can't get too bloody. I'll pick the first one - red lips! You asked me for two thousand dollars, but I gave you ten thousand - almost five times more. So you should take five slaps from me, back and forth. But I hit hard, so I'll give you a deal. Just two slaps, and the money's yours!""What?!" The blonde was shocked. He
