199 Innocent Love and College Widow

Elsa nodded her head. "You could put it that way. But Margaret Haley Johnson, his young wife, has been urging us to solve the case."

Luke laughed out loud. "Who is she? She wants us to avenge a major gangster ASAP? She doesn't know how many enemies her husband had?"

Elsa said with an odd expression, "It's possible that she doesn't."

Luke was stunned. "What do you mean?"

Elsa said, "Based on the information I found, she truly thinks that her husband was a legitimate businessman. Also, she's an art student at USC, and she's only 21."

Luke was speechless. "Are you saying that a 45-year-old gangster fell in pure love with a 21-year-old art student?"

Elsa shrugged. "Who knows? Anything can happen in this world."

Luke continued browsing the case file. "Where should we start?"

Since Dustin hadn't told them that the case needed to be resolved, they could give it up if they didn't find any leads in the next couple of days.
