The hot spring at night was very serene. The hot spring that Luke and Selina were in was in a corner, and they could look down at the valley from above.
Not far away, there was the sound of flowing water from a small stream. White steam rose from the hot spring, rising into the air to welcome the swirling snow that filled the sky.
Apart from the stream, the rest of the place was covered in snow, with yellow and black patches and dark green leaves. It was a rather wild place.
Luke put his hands on the edge of the pool and looked up at the deep, snowy night. His mind was empty, and he didn't move for a long time.
After a long time, he lowered his head and looked at the two guys who were eating furtively. "What are you doing?"
Selina suddenly exhaled and rolled her eyes. "You seemed to be meditating like Big Gray (Sprint's code name) said. This state is good for calming your mind. Aren't we afraid of disturbing you?"
Gold Nugget also nodded repeatedly, indicating that it was really difficult to eat without making a sound.
Luke couldn't help but laugh. Feeling that he seemed to be a lot more relaxed, he nodded and accepted the thoughtfulness. "It's indeed effective. You can try it when you have the chance."
Selina and the dog head couldn't help but look at each other. Try what? Slow down your breathing and empty your mind according to Sprint's instructions, and you can … fall asleep?
She and the dog head had tried it several times, and it was the same result every time. The efficiency of falling asleep was second only to Luke's technical files.
Luke was about to say something else, when his phone suddenly beeped.
He picked it up and looked at it, and his mouth opened wide. "? WTH！”
Selina was surprised. "What, is there an emergency?"
Luke's shock was broken by her question. He opened his mouth twice, before he simply gave her the phone. "Take a look for yourself."
Selina grabbed it and glanced at it. "? WTF！”
The dog head couldn't help but take a look, and the half of the roasted eel in the dog's mouth fell to the ground. "Huh?"
After the shock, Selina couldn't help but blink hard and read the message again to make sure that her eyes weren't playing tricks on her. "How … did they do it?"
Luke coughed. "He's my" uncle "in any case, and we're partners. It's better not to use the word" do it. "
Selina spread her hands and puffed out her chest, as if she had a clear conscience. "They're both adults with children. Isn't it normal for them to be faster?"
Luke was lost for words.
In a sense, what she said was true.
Adult love could be complicated, but it could also be simple.
These two? It definitely wasn't simple, but it wasn't necessarily complicated either.
Selina rolled her eyes. "Why don't we sneak a peek and take a look?"
Luke refused. "We're too close … That's not good, is it?"
Selina immediately twisted her foot on his thigh. "Put away that damn expression of yours! Didn't you want me to "convince" you, and then you would reluctantly agree? Tell, do you want. "
Luke chuckled and raised his hands. "Okay, let's wait until they get here tomorrow."
Squinting, Selina snorted. Someone's "say it again" had always been metaphysical, but she could easily tell whether it was a tacit agreement or a rejection.
Of course, it was a tacit agreement, but he couldn't go overboard.
After all, Luke had set the rule to respect his teammate's privacy.
But this time, Luke and Selina had come to Japan first, and the other party had chosen this place.
It was a coincidence that they accidentally "observed" their teammate's vacation, so it naturally couldn't be considered spying on their teammate's privacy.
Suddenly, Selina's phone rang again. She subconsciously looked at it and exclaimed, "Someone's here in the middle of the night? Hm, there seems to be something wrong with this guy. "
As she spoke, she floated to Luke's side and gave him the phone.
Luke took it and saw that on the drone screen, a person was walking in from the small road at the entrance of the hot spring with slightly sluggish steps.
It was an Asian man in his thirties. He was wearing a thick jacket and jeans.
The hot springs were nearby, and Sapporo was considered a tourist attraction in Japan.
He wasn't dressed in any distinctive clothes, so he might not be from Japan. He might be a tourist from another Asian country.
However, there seemed to be some dark spots on his clothes. Although they were only a few, an experienced detective like Selina could tell at a glance that they looked like blood.
Selina was eager. "Shall we go and catch him?"
Luke thought for a moment, but shook his head. "Not for now. There's no one else here anyway. Let's wait until we're done soaking."
Selina thought for a moment and immediately lay back down on the stone platform.
The hot spring was a hundred meters away from the building, and was separated by several hills and woods. The man wouldn't notice them even if he entered the hotel building.
When Luke said that there was no one else here, he was reminding her that even if this was a murderer, there wouldn't be any new victims to kill.
Run away? Didn't they have four legs here with a sharp nose?
Thus, Luke, Selina and the dog continued to leisurely eat and drink as they enjoyed the rare hot spring on a snowy night.
For them, it was unlikely that they would spend the time to enjoy things a second time.
That was because there were too many places in the world for rich people (and dogs) to enjoy.
An hour later, the food and drinks they had brought were all gone. They finally got up from the hot spring and began to pack up their things. They were about to leave, when their phones, which had been set to vibrate, rang again.
Luke opened it casually and was surprised to see it.
In the tent, Selina had already dried herself and had just put on the nano armor. She stuck her head out and asked, "What's up now?"
Luke nodded. "More people have come in. Two cars with four people, three men and one woman."
Selina put on a T-shirt and jeans and clicked her tongue. "One woman and three men in the middle of the night. The Japanese really know how to have fun."
Luke also sped up and threw the wine and cutlery into the food box. "There's more fun news. Do you want to hear it?"
Selina crawled out and stuffed her feet into the nano boots. Her eyes glowed. "That woman isn't one of those Eagle Cuties you always talk about, is she?"
Luke suddenly felt that he shouldn't have instilled so much strange knowledge into her.
Coughing, he closed the lid of the food box and tossed the thick jacket to her. "I don't think so, but Cuties … I guess. After all, it's JK."
Selina caught the jacket and was a little confused. "Jack?"
Luke said, "J and K, Japanese internet slang. They're romanized for women and high school students."
Selina was stunned. "Doesn't that mean they're just as fun as the high school students in my world?"
Luke looked at her strangely. "Have you forgotten about the young women who stand on the roadside in their school uniforms at night …"
Hearing that, Selina lost interest. "So, it's a service industry that specializes in changing clothes."
Although she hadn't been in charge of such cases in her years as a detective, there were a lot of people in Los Angeles and New York who worked in this service industry.
It wasn't anything new to do something unconventional for money.
As long as they were willing to pay the service fee, even a man could wear a girl's school uniform, let alone a female employee.
Money was God. That was the truth of capitalism.
