Thinking that, Luke quickly took off Faby's T-shirt, which had a hole in it, and cleaned up the blood.
Faby's wound was healing almost at a visible rate.
After tossing the hoodlums into the stairwell of an apartment building not far away, Luke waited until Faby's wound was basically gone before he took out a similar cheap T-shirt and put it on the guy.
After that, he took off his uniform and walked out of the alley he had come in from, returning to the press conference.
Not many people noticed Luke's return.
Apart from the panic-stricken guard at the back door, most people didn't know that he was a detective, much less that he had left and returned.
He found Selina, who was explaining the follow-up procedures to the Victoria's Secret representative, and nodded at her. Selina immediately ended the conversation and left.
The representative was surprised by Selina's appearance and temperament, which contrasted with her profession. He vaguely felt that this female detective actually had a chance as a model.
Unfortunately, there were no professional models who entered the profession in their twenties, and it was possible for celebrities to change careers.
But now, a younger but equally handsome and tall male detective had come and called the female detective away with a simple greeting.
The representative, on the other hand, was thinking: This young man might be able to work harder … Hm, wait, he's a detective?
The experienced and knowledgeable person in charge was stunned.
Although the boy had a mature temperament, there weren't many male models who weren't mature early.
He could tell at a glance that the young man was definitely less than twenty years old, and he was actually a detective.
He couldn't help but recall the department that Selina had reported to at the beginning: NYPD HQ Detective Bureau.
The representative scratched his head. Are you kidding me? Since when did NYPD start using child labor? Were there so few young people who were willing to become police officers these days?
Thinking that, he sighed. Maybe that really was the case.
Public security in New York had been getting worse in recent years, and there had been a lot of major incidents recently.
It was said that the police department had already tried out a new hiring policy. Anyone who graduated from the police academy at the age of eighteen could join the force.
This wasn't a recruitment for auxiliary officers, but official officers.
The minimum requirement was eighteen, and it was almost impossible for a candidate to graduate from college.
That was to say, NYPD's previous requirement for a college degree was no longer in place.
This young man was probably the new cannon fodder recruited under these circumstances! The person in charge could only think of this.
Otherwise, he couldn't understand why a young man who wasn't even twenty years old could enter the Detective Bureau at HQ, which was in charge of major cases.
On the other side, Luke and Selina, who didn't know that they had been "rookies" again, returned to the police department.
Even after nine o 'clock at night, Y' lisabet still hadn't gotten off work.
Because the team leader of her department had been working overtime recently.
Since Luke had made the call today, he could ask about the progress and pay a visit to his "first disciple."
When he arrived at the police station, he took out two snacks from the food box and brought them upstairs.
Before he went to find Elizabeth, he passed by Elsa's desk and gave the Iron Lady a snack, who was also working overtime.
Elsa was exhausted. She accepted Luke's supper with a smile, but she was stopped when she wanted to pour herself a cup of coffee. "It's fine if you get fatter. You're not fat right now, but you'll grow wrinkles if you stay up late."
Elsa, who had just straightened up, leaned back again. "All right, thank you for your concern. Recently, someone rarely sends desserts over, so I really can't get fat. "
Luke chuckled. "Even if you're going to be promoted soon, don't work too hard."
Elsa asked, "Don't I need to work hard before I get promoted?"
Luke found that odd. "Shouldn't I save some strength to deal with the pressure of a promotion? Aren't you afraid that someone else will take advantage of you after you get promoted? "
Elsa rolled her eyes, and had nothing to say to Luke's jinx.
Resigned to her fate, she stood up and stuffed the files into her bag. Selina helped her put on her coat.
Taking a bite of the soufflé cake, Elsa stepped forward. "Let's go. I'd like to see how you're going to convince Elizabeth to get off work."
Luke chuckled. "Hehe."
The three of them weren't in a hurry as they talked to Elizabeth as they walked.
Due to work requirements, Y'lisabet, the newly promoted team leader, had her own office.
In that sense, she had surpassed Elsa, her former boss, and Luke and Selina, who hadn't had their own office.
Under Elsa's and Selina's gazes, Luke simply stuck his head into the office and said, "Ten minutes. We'll have supper at my place when you're ready."
Elizabeth, who had been busy, nodded with a smile and finished her work in five minutes. She put on her clothes and stood up. "Okay, let's go."
Elsa's expression changed greatly. "I asked you a few days ago when you were free to go shopping with me, and you said that you were too busy with work recently?"
Elizabeth chuckled. "That's right. I'm free now, but the boutiques aren't open at night."
Elsa snorted and pointed at Elizabeth, as if to say, "I'll remember you."
They laughed and went to the parking lot.
Actually, Elsa wasn't angry.
Most of the "best friends" of American adults weren't as close as their best friends in China.
If they were willing to go shopping together, it was normal for them to be unwilling.
Most of the time, good friends could attend parties or travel together, but they were rarely inseparable.
There was no such thing as "good friends" being disloyal if they didn't accompany them.
Elsa knew that it was Luke who was the key.
Both she and Elizabeth would tell themselves that work would never be finished anyway, so a night off was fine.
Luke was only giving them a reason to rest.
After all, it was rare for Luke to invite them to his house, and it was impossible for them to be held up.
The four of them returned to Clinton, and Luke went to make supper.
Selina and the other two women began to chat.
The first thing they talked about was the theft of the Givenchy jewelry that had happened that night.
Even Selina, who was the most idle of the three women, had already worked a lot of cases, not to mention Elsa, who had been a detective for almost a decade.
After Y'lisabet gave them the preliminary information, they began to analyze it logically.
But compared with finishing their work at the police department, they were now lounging on the couch.
If they had an idea, they would say it; if they didn't, they would listen. Solving the case wasn't the main point; it was just a topic of conversation.
When they heard Selina talk about the Victoria's Secret models and the new clothes they were wearing, the case was completely forgotten, and fashion became the main topic.
As they chatted, the three women took a sip of ice wine every now and then, which was more relaxing than drinking outside.
