Luke poured a cup of coffee, "Guys, it's time for the morning meeting."
The deputy asked, "What did I miss last night? I heard the robber was killed."
"That's right," Luke briefly explained, "Based on cell phone tracking, we found the motel where the suspect was staying, and we checked the front desk for the room the suspect was in. We entered the room to make the arrest but discovered that the suspect wasn't there.
The reason was that the suspect had played a trick; he had rented the room directly below us at a high price. While we were making the arrest upstairs, he could hear everything clearly and escaped by jumping out of the window at the back of the building, only to be killed by Anthony who was waiting outside."
The deputy countered, "So, you're saying the lead has gone cold?"
Luke replied, "There are still some leads, just not immediately useful, like those two anonymous SIM cards—as long as the other party turns on their phone, we can locate them."
