The reward for this mission was rather low. Luke speculated that it was probably because Sergei, the murderer, hadn't been caught yet.
If he could've caught the murderer, he would've earned a total of 100 experience points.
However, since the murderer had run away, there was no need for him to worry about it. He decided to take a shower and get some rest.
He had been running back and forth and watching videos for a long time. It was truly exhausting.
However, the result today was remarkable. At the very least, Elsa and Dustin were looking at him more formally now.
Not everybody could've solved Katie's murder in one day.
Luke, who had gotten in through the back door, was truly capable. He wasn't a weakling like they had thought.
It was already past eight by the time he got home, and the sky was completely dark.
Selina was watching TV on the couch in the living room. She immediately sat up when she saw him. "Hey, you're back! Tell me, how did it feel to work the case in Beverly Hills? "
Luke said helplessly, "I didn't take a shower or eat. I was out for a long time and watched videos for hours. I'm dizzy …"
Selina quickly fawned. "I brought you a chicken breast sandwich. I guarantee that you'll have more strength after you eat it."
Luke said, "Thank you so much. I'm going to take a shower."
A few minutes later, Luke came out of the shower and sat down on the couch. He picked up the sandwich that Selina had just heated up in the microwave and started eating it.
He had devoted all his energy to solving the case today, and he barely ate or drank anything. He really couldn't take it anymore.
Selina wasn't that heartless. She didn't disturb him while he was eating, and simply turned down the volume on the TV.
Luke finished the sandwich in a few minutes. He had a mouthful of it and burped in satisfaction. "Okay, what do you want to ask?"
Selina said, "Just tell me if it's beautiful. Are the mansions luxurious? Do the people who live in them have dozens of maids? Oh, by the way, do they all have a silver-haired old butler who greets you with "Can I help you, sir?" or something like that? "
Luke was speechless. "You're talking about a movie. The one I went to only had two nannies and a security guard, and the house was only about 400 square meters. If you don't count the decorations, it's about the same size as Robert's house. "
Selina exclaimed in disappointment, "So, the movies are all lies."
Luke said, "Hehe, do you think the movies are real? Well, at least the one I went to wasn't that luxurious. "
Selina snorted. "Think about it. I thought Beverly Hills was full of rich people. "
Luke said, "They're rich. The house I went to today was worth at least two or three million, not including the furniture and decorations. They're definitely not poor."
Selina asked, "Huh? Is she pretty?"
Luke said, "She's pretty, and she's not bad when she's naked."
Selina was surprised. "She met you naked?"
Luke nodded. "That's right. He even pointed his butt at us."
Selina didn't believe it. "Are you lying to me?"
Luke said, "No. Because when we got there, her body was floating naked in the pool. "
Selina's eyes widened. "So … magical? Hurry up and tell me what's going on with the case. "
Luke nodded. "It's on TV. Do you need me to tell you?"
Selina turned around, only to see a mosaic floating in the pool with a familiar face next to it.
Stunned for a moment, she immediately turned up the volume and exclaimed, "It's Katie Winterster? The corpse you saw was actually her? "
Luke nodded lazily.
With the help of the TV, he didn't have to nag anymore. He was thinking about how he could find the drug dealers who had sold Jenny some money.
Selina's voice rang out again. "Did you find the murderer?"
Luke nodded. "Keep it to yourself. We'll have to keep it a secret for now, because the murderer ran away."
After listening to Luke's explanation of the case, Selina clicked her tongue in amazement. "Without Brock, that Shar-Pei, you've solved a big case. Your partner won't dare to look down on you anymore, right?"
Luke looked at her and said, "Don't just talk about me. What about you? How's your first day at work? "
Selina snorted. "It's fine. I'm a beauty, after all. It's just that Donald underestimates me and treats me like a kid. "
Luke shrugged. "You're not that old, are you? I feel like there's a generation gap when I look at Elsa. "
Selina laughed and kicked her. "Elsa is already 32. Of course there's a generation gap between you and her."
Luke wasn't bothered by Selina's violence. He asked again, "How do you feel about your partner? He's not hard to get along with, is he? "
Selina thought for a moment, then shook her head. "He's not hard to get along with, but … I think he's a little slow on the case."
Luke frowned. "Huh?"
Selina said in a low voice, "I don't think he's as smart as you. I can tell that something's wrong with a case, but he's still taking his time to ask questions."
Luke asked, "What case?"
Selina said, "A case involving a gang member's death. I could tell from the guy's face that it had to be them, but Donald kept asking questions."
Luke looked at her. "You didn't interrupt, did you?"
Selina shook her head. "Of course not. You taught me to watch and listen more, and talk less. I didn't say anything, and considered it a learning experience. "
Luke nodded. "Donald might not have done anything wrong. Maybe he knew that it was them who did it, but he didn't show it. Maybe he just wanted to confirm it. I asked Elsa a few questions. He's famous in the Major Crimes Division for his stability. Do your job and don't stand out too much. Familiarize yourself with the environment here and how they work. "
Selina wasn't stupid, but she wasn't good at scheming. If she stood out too much, she might be tricked.
She and Donald were new partners, and they weren't close. Luke didn't expect him to help her unconditionally just because she was a beauty.
Luke, for example, had shown that he wasn't trying to steal Elsa's credit today, which satisfied his partner.
Dustin must know something, or he wouldn't have changed his attitude toward Luke. However, even if the case was solved, Elsa would take 70% of the credit, and Luke would get 30%.
After all, Elsa was an old partner, and Luke was a newcomer!
Luke had enough confidence and the system that he didn't need to care about the credit. However, if Selina were in his position, she might've offended someone to no end.
