Luke hadn't targeted the advanced joint research team in the past because there were too many targets in his black notebook, and he couldn't clear them all.
But since the other party had chosen to start, it was up to him to end it.
Luke had always felt that superheroes and supervillains were similar to being in love and getting married.
If they didn't know each other, they were like parallel lines, and it didn't matter who was stronger and who was a noob.
Once one party was interested, it would be a test and an attack.
In the entanglement, once the two parties confirmed that they were opponents, that tragic, love-hate relationship would be officially established.
Whoever wanted to end this relationship in the future wouldn't be able to decide.
On the other hand, perhaps the other party would not give up or give up. Even if they had to fight to the death, they would still stick together.
Luke, for example, never pestered a woman. He had a few girlfriends in his previous life, but they broke up because they weren't suitable, and he didn't pester them again.
But his enemies in this life were experience and credit points.
For the sake of the system, he had to pester her to the end.
This could be understood as the division of property in a divorce.
If Luke couldn't do something that even his American "ex-wife" could do, then he definitely wouldn't do it.
The next day, Luke just wanted to go through the motions at the police department.
He had made it clear yesterday that he wouldn't get involved. He had to keep his word and give the work — hm, the credit — to someone else.
In the end, Walter stopped him.
Walter knew that he couldn't beat Luke in an argument, so he threw a file at him. "Batman and the others sent another batch of people to the hospital last night. I don't have anyone to work here. This case might take a long time, so I can only leave it to you. Is that a problem? "
Luke: "… No problem."
Walter was clearly going back on his word, and it was useless for Luke to refuse.
Apart from the busy clerks outside, there wasn't even a detective to be seen. They had all gone to the hospital, and Luke couldn't refuse even if he wanted to.
However, he was a little interested in the case that Walter had thrown at him.
Life had to be fresh in order to improve the quality of life.
Occasionally taking on a difficult case would ensure that he and Selina were known as "detectives."
Taking the case file, Luke and Selina went to their desks.
Luke opened it and read it, and couldn't help but be lost for words. Damn it … it seemed like it was his fault?
This was because the case had started from him and Selina beating up someone last night.
But it wasn't because they'd beaten up the wrong person, but because a key member of the gang had been suddenly interrogated by the two shameless old men, John and Joe.
That poor bastard had all his limbs broken, but John and the others kept him off the emergency list.
The two old bastards were still making sarcastic remarks at the side, such as how the limbs would die if they were severed for a long time, and that they would be amputated in half a day at most. They would have to wait for others to serve them for the rest of their lives.
The guy was frightened by the result of turning into a human stick. He cried and shouted as he gave out a lot of things.
It was very common for gang members to sell drugs and weapons, so they were all left to the last question. John and the others were most concerned about the murder case.
After the man finished explaining, Hardedef and Lin Sanjiu went to investigate a lead that was suspected of stealing and selling human organs.
But after searching for a while, they found nothing.
The two of them rushed back and dragged the informant away from the door of the infirmary, threatening to turn him into a human stick again.
But this time, no matter how that guy cried and confessed, he said the same thing as before.
Old hands like John and Joe were pretty sure that the man wasn't lying.
So, it was possible that there really was a case of human organs being stolen and sold, but clues were hard to find.
Given the current situation at the Detective Bureau, Walter didn't have the time to slowly investigate.
John and the others didn't want to give up, so Walter said that he would leave the case to Luke and Selina.
After hesitating for a moment, John and Selina agreed.
Firstly, they were too embarrassed to compete with Luke and Selina for a case.
Secondly, Walter wanted John and Selina to take advantage of this opportunity to accumulate more credit so that it would be easier to give them a promotion report.
This suspected major case was likely to waste time, so it was better to leave it to Luke and Selina, who were capable but didn't want to be too hardworking.
After scanning the information, Luke gave the file to Selina.
Although she could already look at the projection through her sunglasses, Selina had a habit of flipping through paper documents and using Little Snail as supplementary reminders. Supposedly, she was more inspired that way.
After reading for a moment, she frowned. "Why does this sound like the nonsense of drug addicts? There's a monster that eats people in the sewers, and the corpses we throw in disappear the next day. Did that guy watch too many horror movies? "
Luke tapped the table. "John and the others think there's a problem, so it's unlikely that it's pure fantasy."
Selina thought for a moment and agreed.
John and Joe were veteran police officers. Even if they didn't have any evidence, they had a sixth sense.
Even if they weren't sure what had happened, their instincts told them that something wasn't right.
That was also why the case had been handed over to them.
Luke got up. "Let's go take a look."
Selina got up and chuckled. "Sewers? Someone's very familiar with that."
Luke rolled his eyes and drove to the parking lot.
They crossed the Brooklyn Bridge and drove along Seaside Avenue to the southwest corner of Brooklyn.
The June sea breeze blew in through the open car window, and the two of them discussed the case from time to time.
When they passed by the beach not far from the crime scene, Selina looked at the people who had come to have fun early in the morning, and then at the clear sky. She couldn't help but feel a little envious. "Sunbathing!"
Luke said, "If the case isn't complicated, we can come for lunch later. Choose a good place and come back tomorrow to sunbathe. "
Selina was satisfied. "Okay, I'll be able to comfort myself by going into the sewers later. I'll make it up to you tomorrow."
Luke smiled and didn't say anything else.
When he and Selina went out at night, they basically went through the sewers.
No matter how good the sewers were, they were still sewers. The stench wouldn't disappear just because the sewers in New York were wider. Rats, sewage, sludge, and moss were unavoidable.
Thankfully, Selina wasn't squeamish, but it was inevitable that she liked sunbathing more. It just so happened that there weren't many good weather in New York. Compared with Los Angeles on the West Coast, which had more than 200 days of sunshine a year, the so-called good weather in New York on the East Coast was nothing.
In his previous life, Luke was used to this kind of environment. Otherwise, he wouldn't be as comfortable as Selina.
After they passed the beach, they reached their destination.
This was the edge of a middle-class neighborhood. Not far away was Seaside Avenue, and there was a lot of traffic.
The gangsters would drive here at night, dump the body, and leave, which wouldn't attract much attention.
The police department was a mess today. This place hadn't been officially classified as a crime scene yet, and there was no yellow tape.
Luke and Selina got out of the car and walked unhurriedly to their destination, just like the residents here.
As they walked, they observed their surroundings.
