Christine shook her head again. "I don't know, but that was when I mentioned that her parents were very upset about her running away."
Pondering for a moment, Luke asked, "That's it?"
Christine nodded helplessly. "That's it."
Seeing that he didn't say anything and seemed to be thinking, she couldn't help but add, "She's in a very poor mental state. That's a big problem."
Luke raised his head. "Hm?"
Christine said, "I've never studied psychology, but I've found a professional psychiatrist to help examine her. You might find that more useful."
Luke wasn't bothered.
That was the nature of the police: If it wasn't necessary, the extent to which they investigated something depended on their mood.
He looked at his watch and said, "You're meeting the doctor at ten, right?"
Christine knew what he meant and explained, "She's already on her way, but she was delayed by a traffic accident near the hospital."
