The three around him also became alert. Jenny guessed, "This means the suspect, Lydia Kuni, likely hasn't gone far."
Luke glanced around, "It's also possible she's still in the house."

The first search is to ensure safety, the second is to find evidence and clues, followed by a more detailed on-site investigation.

Afterwards, the four of them searched again, checking the cabinets, under the bed, behind the curtains, even inside the fridge.
After finishing the search, they met again on the first floor.
