Answer: He is amused by the story and does not take it seriously.
In this passage, the police officer seems amused to hear the story that Julie and Rebecca explain to him. He was smiling while getting into the patrol car, which means he is not concerned. Moreover, the text places "crime scene" between quotation marks. This is often done in order to show that the idea is not taken seriously.
The excerpt and the options attached to the question above are given below:
