The Crime System

Catching the Criminal

Having come to that thought, Luke could no longer sit around. He figured even if he was wrong, he still had to take a look. He put down his beer glass and quickly went in the direction where the male with the designer clothes had run off to.

The bar exit was a plain, small steel door, similar to the entrance. Luke rushed out and immediately emerged into a narrow, dark alley.

It was already 10:00pm at night, and the alley was deathly quiet. He looked both ways. Using the moonlight, Luke quickly saw the shadow of someone fleeing past on his right.

"Huh?" He paused for a moment, even more suspicious now. He quickly ran in that direction.

Chasing and being chased were both his previous specialties. Not only was Luke fast, but he was also light on his feet, and there was no sound in his pursuit.

The shadow had disappeared to another small and dark alley. The alley headed straight towards the parking lot.

When Luke walked past a green dumpster, he suddenly saw someone on the ground. It was the rich man who had just left with the gold digger.

But right now, he was lying face up, completely out cold.

'Jesus Christ!' Luke was stunned. By the way the man laid stiffly on the ground, he was eighty percent sure that the man had just been knocked out by a criminal!

If the man was already Yorked, then what about the woman?

Luke lowered his head and stared into the darkness. He could not see anything, but he heard shuffling from around a corner somewhere ahead.

'Holy s**t!'

Had he really hit the bullseye?

Luke couldn't help but feel a little nervous. He looked to the side again and conveniently noticed a short metal pipe, which he picked up.

He tiptoed towards the corner nervously, and poked his head out. Luke suddenly saw the man in designer clothes from the bar on the ground messing with something.

Taking a closer look, he could see the gold digger was already knocked out on the ground, and the male in designer clothes was hurriedly removing her clothing!

Luke's eyes bulged. There was no question now. What was happening before him explained everything. The York Criminal that the police were trying so hard to catch was currently right in front of him!

"Alright, buddy!" Luke thought to himself. "Meeting me here today, you should count yourself unlucky! It's time to eliminate the enemy of the public!" Beating people up was his specialty. He moved forward in one swift step, and before the man in designer clothes could react, Luke slammed the pipe into the back of his head.

He was strong to begin with, but he was even more forceful using the pipe. With a loud clacking sound, the pipe had even broken in half!

The man in designer clothes had not expected the ambush, and jumped up in surprise. He then glared at Luke with a look of immense evil, the weapon in his hand rattling menacingly.

"No way?!" Luke thought. He was thunderstruck, and stared blankly at the man in designer clothes. "How can it be that the man is unharmed? Was his skin made of iron or something?"

But the man in designer clothes glared at him for two more seconds, then his eyes rolled backwards, his legs gave out, and he fell to the ground completely out cold!

Luke let out a long breath of relief, then quickly pulled out his phone.

An hour later, he was back in the police station office.

Right now, the office was in even more commotion than before. All the investigators were nervously waiting for comparison results.

Bella's cute, large eyes were wide as she gave a thumbs up, "Senior, you're amazing! To catch the criminal singlehandedly! So, when you said you wanted the day off, was it to hide your true intention? Tell us, did you already find the information about the criminal long ago?"

Luke was not sure why, but he felt nothing for cute girls like Bella. Maybe it was her lackluster figure, or that she looked too young, or maybe too average?

Seeing her talking nonstop, he was somewhat annoyed and spoke up, "Can you go make some coffee for me?"

"Sure! Sure!" Bella could not have been happier as she ran towards the break room.

At this time, Vincent spoke to no one in particular, "Hmph, don't be too happy too early! We're still not sure whether we caught the criminal or not! If it was a mistake, someone's in big trouble!"

The words were clearly directed at Luke, but right now, he was exhausted, and simply ignored him.

But right as Vincent finished, Detective Priscillia excitedly ran into the lobby and exclaimed, "Team! The results are out: blood and urine both match, as does the genotype. We can assuredly say that this person is the culprit of the York Case! Case closed!"

Hearing this, the office broke out in clapping, some happy, some excited, and some jealous, but everyone's eyes all turned towards Luke.

Just an hour ago, he had fought with the vice captain over asking for the day off. No one could have expected that only an hour later, the person who solved the case so quickly was also him!

Everyone was definitely confused. Everyone wondered what kind of method Luke had used to catch the culprit.

"Yay! That's great, Officer Sullivan!" Bella placed the coffee in front of him, complimenting him excitedly, "Congratulations! Once you get your reward money, don't forget to invite us out for some food!"
