Nodding at Austin's words, Lee turned his gaze to the ceiling as theories circled his mind. Co-murderers... a group of people? That actually a clever idea. It wasn't completely unheard of, either. The detective turned his eyes to Austin, slowly using his right hand to adjust his left cuff, as per usual. "You know, that's actually possible. It would probably explain why the two murders were so close together. But... the question is how the murderer knew the both of us, you especially."
Rubbing at the back of his neck, Lee closed his eyes and took in a deep breath of air. The case at hand was definitely more complex than anything he had taken on before. He was glad, of course, but he also knew that it would take more time to solve. Opening his eyes once more, Lee looked blankly at the wall. He had totally forgotten that he didn't eat anything at all. He was too caught up in Austin's whole situation, that he just left the house.
"I'm going to make some food. Do you want any? I can make two portions." Lee asked, switching up topics almost instantly. Although he wasn't keen on switching topics, he couldn't help it when he had something on his mind. And food occupied his thinking space. Stepping out of the room, Lee headed into the kitchen and pulled out all sorts of vegetables from the fridge, as well as some thin slices of beef. After heating the pan, he chopped up the vegetables and cut the beef into smaller pieces before throwing it in as well. Adding very little water and all sorts of oriental spices, which could be found among the many... many different spices, Lee started to mix it all around.
Since the case started, it had been difficult for Lee to cook any decent meals for himself. So, needless to say, he was glad when he had some time to at least cook something, like he always would.
Once the food the finished, the detective pulled down two plates and put equal amounts of food on both. It wasn't really a full meal, but it was enough to hold them both over until later that day, that is, if Austin even wanted to bother with eating it. "If you don't want it, that's fine. I can figure out what to do with it." If anything, Lee would just eat the portion by himself than to go and talk to his neighbors. He left them alone, and they left him alone. It was a rather peaceful agreement, which was one of the reasons why he still lived there. Picking up his fork, the male started to eat silently, leaning back against the counter, his eyes cast down to the ground.
