In passing, Luke searched for information on Old Greyson from the Las Vegas forensics center, which was quite interesting.
If he was going to Las Vegas, he had to visit this uncle.
He had to give him gifts.
He couldn't just give him expensive gifts, but interesting gadgets that couldn't be bought with money.
After all, Old Greyson wasn't short of money.
As one of the best technicians in the country, Luke had to ask him for a business appraisal in the tens of thousands of dollars.
Old Greyson's annual salary was more than a hundred thousand, and he definitely wasn't short of money. His real hobby was insects.
But Luke wasn't a professional when it came to insects, so he could only give up.
Just like that, Luke checked the files, roasted the meat, and checked the gossip. It wasn't until half past eight that Selina came back.
"Why are you so late? Have you been like this lately? "asked Luke.
Selina was exhausted, but she was still happy. "Hey, let's talk about that later. I went to the supermarket and bought everything you wanted."
Luke said helplessly, "If you had told me that you were busy, I would've bought them myself. I'll be back at four in the afternoon. There's not much to eat tonight. Now that we have the main course, I'll make you a fruit salad. How does that sound? "
Selina wasn't dissatisfied at all. She happily lifted the lid of the oven, but Luke slapped her hand. "Wash your hands. We're ready for dinner."
Selina immediately dashed back into the house.
By the time she washed her hands, Luke had already taken out a plate with a bunch of meat slices on it.
The meat was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. It was a favorite of meat-eaters.
Meat was on one plate, and roasted vegetables were on the other.
Luke was from Sichuan in his previous life, and the street barbecues there had always been roasted everything.
Chicken, duck, fish, and organs weren't rare, either.
But chives, cauliflower, black fungus, cabbage, coriander, winter melon, cucumber, tofu skin, eggplant, green beans, yellow flowers, lotus root, potatoes, radishes, and so on could all be roasted.
Naturally, Luke wouldn't make that many kinds of vegetables. He simply made broccoli, potatoes, and eggplant.
The eggplant was prepared separately. After cutting it in half, garlic, onion, green and red peppers were placed on top. The eggplant was roasted fragrant.
Of course, this wasn't authentic. The authentic version should be millet chili and chilli, or even green wild mountain peppers, to ensure that one eggplant could eat two big bowls of rice.
However, that kind of method was too crazy. Only the Chuan Shu and the two Hu people, who could eat spicy food, could bear it.
So, he used something non-spicy as a side dish. Otherwise, Selina's butt would be on fire the whole day tomorrow.
Selina was indeed a big foodie. She didn't dislike any of the food at all. Instead, she beamed as she ate. "Darling, the food you make is really delicious. How about we eat it three times a week in the future?"
Luke said, "If you're not afraid of covering your ass when you go to work every day, I can do that for you."
Selina was surprised. "Huh? Why? "
Luke said, "If you eat too many vegetables this way, it's like eating too many jalapeños."
Selina was terrified.
Her parents were Mexican, and her family preferred to cook Mexican food. However, she grew up in the United States, and no real Mexican could eat spicy food.
Mexico had a lot of chili peppers, and two of them were among the top ten in the world.
She didn't want to try that flavor, because her butt would really swell, and it would feel like rubbing against glass when she went to the toilet.
After the barbecue, Luke put away the tools and cutlery. Selina needed to rest for a while before she washed the dishes.
But it was already past nine at night, and Luke couldn't leave her lying in the backyard for half an hour. He could only pull her closer to the couch in the living room.
After Selina went in, Luke made her a pot of hot cocoa. After all, she wouldn't put on any weight.
Selina was so comfortable that she closed her eyes.
Luke asked, "How have you been? Busy? "
Selina nodded lazily. "A little. Donald has given me a lot of work to do."
Luke asked, "For example?"
Selina said, "Reading files, analyzing intelligence, and writing reports are my job too. So, I have to work overtime a lot."
Luke wasn't surprised. That was how a newcomer should be treated.
He was so awesome at the cost of giving up credit. Selina couldn't learn that.
He thought for a moment and asked, "Can you learn anything?"
Selina said, "I'll tell you if you rub my stomach to help with digestion."
Luke was lost for words. "Then why did you fight with me for food just now?"
However, he didn't refuse her request. Selina was just whining.
He had been away on business for more than ten days, and she was all alone here. She had no friends or relatives, and only work.
Her boss was also a middle-aged black man, and they didn't have much in common. It would be strange if she wasn't depressed.
Lifting her thin sweater, he stretched out his hand and slowly and gently massaged her slightly protruding abdomen. Only then did he continue, "Can you tell me now?"
Selina heaved a sigh of relief. "Well, I think I can learn a lot. At the very least, I'll be more familiar with these things when I'm with you in the future. However … "
Luke asked, "However what?"
Selina thought for a moment, then shook her head. "Donald's a mediocre detective. I know what he's capable of. He rarely makes mistakes, but it's a waste of time."
Luke nodded. "That's actually not a bad thing. If Elsa were your mentor, you might make rapid progress, but you'll have to slowly figure out the details on your own. The advantage of Donald being slower is that you'll be able to keep up with him. It's a good deal. "
Selina nodded, then shook her head. "We've been working on a case for a week now, and I don't think there'll be any results. We'll have to leave the case in two days at most."
Luke was curious. "What case?"
"The death of a college girl," Selina said. "There's no evidence that she was murdered. It looks more like an accident caused by her overdose, but I don't think it's that simple."
Luke asked, "Where was the case?"
Selina said, "She died in an apartment here, but she's from USC. Also, she wasn't a tenant; the tenant was a woman, but she's already gone missing. "
Hearing that, Luke knew that it was going to be another cold case with no results.
One of the people involved was dead and the other was missing, and the victim had died of an overdose. Without concrete information, the case file would soon be labeled as an accident and thrown into the archives to collect dust.
This was because Donald had always been slow on the case. If it were Elsa or him, they would've given up in three to five days if they didn't have any leads.
There were too many cases like this, and it was impossible to investigate them all.
