When the policeman heard it and realized that they might have missed out on a piece of important evidence, he took his phone
out and looked for the photos of the scene.
However, he was unable to find the grocery bag on the spot where Luca had fallen. He swiped backward, and finally, he found
the grocery bag on the table. He handed it to Luca and said, “Is this the bag you’ve been talking about?”
“Yes, but obviously I was the one who carried it back home. How did it end up on the table?” Luca wanted to mislead the
policeman and make him think that it was not her who placed the grocery bag on the table but the murderer.
“We’ll find out about this.” Cold sweat was running down the policeman’s back. Based on what she said, the grocery bag must
have been brought away by the murderer. Although it was strange for him to take the grocery bag and leave it on the table, it
was still a bag that the murderer picked up. They seemed to have destroyed the evidence.
It was just because the meat and vegetables would rot if they were left here for a few days. They were just helping clean the
mess up.
When Luca saw the policeman’s expression, she knew she had successfully misled him.
However, misleading the police did not mean she could succeed in misleading Luke too...
Luca was still a little worried and hoped that the police could lend her a hand by removing all of Luke’s suspicion.
“Can I take a look at the kitchen? There’s some milk left that’s about to expire. Let me throw it away as well since I’m here,” she
said.
The policeman nodded, indicating that she was allowed to do so.
Luca took all the food that had expired or would expire soon out of the fridge, putting them in a trash bag. Then, she carried the
duffel bag with her left hand while carrying the trash bag with her right hand when leaving the apartment.
The policeman saw her and took her duffle bag while saying, “Let me help you.”
“Thank you.” Luca let him carry it. Apart from her clothes that were in the duffle bag, there were two laptops in it. One was for her
work while the other was for her secret missions.
After leaving the apartment, the policeman drove her to Luke’s apartment. When he knew that she was still staying alone, he
advised her warm-heartedly that she should lock her door and windows regularly. If anything happened, she could call the police
immediately for help.
Luca smiled and thanked him. When she carried her duffle bag and was about to get out of the car, she asked, “Mr. Policeman,
I’d like to know where my identification documents are and when they’ll be returned to me?”
The policeman paused for a moment. Her ID had already been tested, and it was of no use to them. However, it was not up to
him to decide if those things could be returned to her.
“The decision has to be made by the superior. Let me go back and I’ll ask about it.”
“Sure. Thank you.” Luca pushed the door open and got out of the car. After she waited for the police car to leave, she turned
around and walked into the district.
Although the policeman did not give her an exact answer, she reckoned her ID would soon be returned to her.
Previously, the purpose of Luke requesting the police to retain her ID was to make her stay in this apartment as it would be
convenient for him to keep an eye on her. She had moved in now and she would not be able to do anything without her ID, so
her ID would soon be returned to her.
Luca pushed the apartment door open, and a piece of paper fell on the floor.
She picked it up silently. It was the piece of paper that she had placed before she went out earlier. If someone had come in, the
paper would fall to the floor.
She was surrounded by enemies now. She had to be extra careful.
...
On the other side.
Luke had just finished listening to the policeman’s report where he specifically mentioned the grocery bag.
He did not say anything about it and only asked, “Apart from her clothes and laptop, did she take anything else?”
“No, Mr. Crawford. Can we return Ms. Craw’s ID to her now?” the policeman asked.
“Just follow the police’s standard procedure.” Luke did not give a direct answer.
The policeman understood immediately.
When it was about to get dark, Luca received a call from the police informing her that the test for her ID had been completed and
would be returned today. They would send someone to return it to her so she did not have to go back and forth to the police
station...
Luca thanked them when she heard that.
Before this, she needed her ID because she was in a hurry to move out. There was nothing she could do without her ID.
After that, she found a reason to escape. However, Abel added drugs to her antidote. She ended up being carried back here
without the strength to struggle.
Even though she would have her ID back, she did not have to move out anymore.
Otherwise, if Abel knew about it, he would get her back here by all means.
Hence, Luca was too lazy to do something futile.
After half an hour, the doorbell rang.
Luca walked there to open the door. The person standing outside the door was not the police. It was a guard.
“Ms. Craw, there are two parcels for you. Can you please sign for the delivery?” The guard handed two parcels to her.
“Two?” Luca furrowed her brows. Should there not only be one parcel that was from the police? Why was there another parcel?
Even so, she signed it.
After she closed the door, she opened the parcel. One of them was her bag with her ID and work permit in it, while the other
parcel...
Luca noticed that the other parcel was sent from another province but she had not bought anything online.
After she opened it, her expression changed when she saw what was inside.
There were a few sets of clothes. She picked one up to take a look, and her expression changed. These clothes were not meant
for daily use. They were clothes with a slight sexy touch.
Luca saw the note inside. She took her phone and dashed into the bathroom. She opened the tap to prevent her voice from
being recorded by the surveillance equipment outside. Then, she made the call.
Soon, Abel picked up.
“What do you mean by sending these clothes to me?” Luca questioned him directly.
It was Abel who sent her these clothes. She recognized his crooked handwriting with just a glance.
“I opened your wardrobe last time. Your clothes are kind of boring.” Abel pinched the woman’s face who was beside him and said
in a lazy tone.
“You...” It ticked Luca off when she heard that.
Even though he was the one who bought the apartment, randomly rummaging through her belongings made her feel she was
being disrespected.
“Your clothes are way too simple and even conservative. Men don’t like women who are dressed like that,” Abel smiled as he
spoke, “So I bought you some new clothes. Wear them when you know Luke is coming next time. He’ll soon surrender his heart
to you.”
Luca reviled, “Bastard!”
She hung up the phone right after she said that.
What Abel meant was simple. He wanted her to wear those sexy clothes and seduce Luke.
However, she would never do that!
Luca turned the tap and shower head off. She then walked out of the bathroom and threw everything in the box into the trash
can.
...
Hera, who was sitting next to Abel, was listening to him talk on the phone. She shifted her eyes and asked sweetly, “Abel, you
were talking about Luke Crawford?”
