Luke spread his hands and said, "So, we're dropping the case and handing it over to the FBI. We're detectives, and we're in charge of the living. "
Elizabeth and Billy nodded with bitter smiles.
They weren't in any position to piss Luke off, and there was no need to. After all, it was just a case that could be investigated or not.
Luke then took Selina to Elsa's office and told her that they wouldn't be following up on the case.
Elsa wasn't surprised.
Americans were superstitious. If they weren't, God, Satan, vampires, and Halloween would be part of their daily culture.
It was normal for detectives to be reluctant to follow up on weird cases.
However, this was the first time that Luke had made it clear that he wasn't following up on a case.
Before Luke left the office, he thought of something and asked casually, "Right, who's from the FBI? Do I know them? "
Elsa said, "I think they're from the Joint Advanced Research Team, but I don't know who they are."
Luke said, "Okay, I'll read the case file first."
Elsa lowered her head and waved her hand, indicating that he could get lost.
Since the Wever case wasn't working, he didn't have a case, and Elsa naturally sent him a new one.
After he returned to his desk, Selina asked in a low voice, "Are you really dropping the case?"
Luke nodded. "Yes. For regular police officers, they should stay as far away from such cases as possible, because they can't solve them at all. They can't do anything except get themselves involved."
Selina nodded to show that she understood.
Of course, Luke wasn't a regular police officer, but if he wasn't willing to investigate it, it wasn't hard to imagine how dangerous it would be.
At that moment, Luke wasn't panicking, but delighted.
Just now, when he stepped into the door of the villa, the System suddenly moved.
System: Unknown negative energy detected. The energy is forcibly establishing a link with the host. Do you accept?
Of course … Luke didn't accept it.
What was the system like? It was bound to Luke's soul, and wouldn't react to most dangers at all.
It had always been like an auxiliary cheat that never interfered with Luke's actions.
Luke had figured out all its rules bit by bit.
But now, it had issued a warning, and the warning didn't look right at all.
Luke wasn't stupid enough to choose the link.
Thinking about the people who had died in this villa, as well as the Remus family who had been scared out of their wits, Luke felt that it was better not to provoke such troublesome and strange existences.
Other than Elementary Self-Healing and Super Physical Attack, Gu Jun did not have any real ability to fight against supernatural incidents. It was not worth it to blindly take risks.
But there were still surprises.
If the so-called negative energy in this room was a ghost, and the System could actively reject its connection, then could the System also reject the forceful intrusion of a psychic ability user?
If that was the case, would the system's Soul Binding have the ability to resist mental attacks?
Luke was very happy about this. It was far more important than going to the haunted house to find out the truth.
More importantly, he didn't need to take that risk because he had a ready-made psionicist in his hands — Bobby.
It was unknown whether the Public Relations Manager of Universe Cube Technology Co., Ltd. had improved in his ability to communicate mentally.
When the time came, Bobby would be able to easily test the result with Mental Communication, which was both safe and convenient.
After all, Bobby's Mental Communication was still very rudimentary, and was nothing like Professor X's cheating ability.
While Luke was thinking that, the phone on his desk suddenly rang. Selina picked it up and said to him, "Dustin wants you to go to his office alone."
Luke nodded. "Take a look at this case file first." He then got up and left.
When he reached Dustin's office, he was stopped by a wave of Dustin's hand.
Dustin got up and put on his coat. He gestured for Luke to follow him and said in a low voice, "Jennifer's here."
Luke asked, "That big star?"
Dustin nodded slightly and continued in a low voice as he walked. "She's waiting for you in the director's office."
Luke was puzzled. "Huh? She's here to complain about me? "
Dustin looked at him strangely and continued walking. "No, she's here to thank you."
Luke was lost for words. "You're not being sarcastic, are you, boss?"
Dustin found that odd. "You helped her solve a huge problem, and the people in this case were all their own problems. Why would she complain about you?"
Luke was lost for words. I've reviewed all the knowledge in her ten videotapes. How can she say that?
Dustin didn't think much of it. "She said that she's here to thank you, but she can't talk to you until you're here."
In his words, he emphasized the word "continue to discuss."
Luke immediately got it. "A donation?"
Dustin said, "I'm not sure, but it's very likely, and it's not a small amount."
Luke was lost for words. "… Boss, I don't count for anything, do I?" What if the big star says that it's just a verbal compliment in the end, and you insist that I did something wrong?
Dustin knew what he was thinking. "No, even if she doesn't pay a cent, you're not at fault. But the bigger her 'gratitude' is, the more credit you'll get. "
Luke was lost for words. It's not like I'm getting a raise or a random bonus. What's the point of credit?
Of course, that was just what he thought. Actually, he didn't care about the bonus right now; he cared more about the support from the department.
Take the case of the Wafer haunted house for example. He didn't even need to explain himself, which was a sign of the department's support.
If other detectives wanted to give up on a case, they might have to explain themselves.
If they didn't, their superiors might order them to follow up, or even give them a deadline.
Luke, on the other hand, didn't have that problem now. He already had a lot of choices about what cases to investigate, and it would become the norm, just like his uncle Old Greyson.
At the director's office, Dustin simply gestured for Luke to go in, but Dustin said, "Director, Luke is here." He didn't even enter the door.
Fine, Dustin was Director Bradpierre's man to begin with, and a loyal subordinate at that. The two of them had a very deep relationship, which was why he could act so casually.
Director Brad simply waved at Luke, and Luke closed the door. He then saluted the boss of the police department and said, "Director, Luke Coulson reporting for duty."
Brad nodded and waved his hand. "Let's talk after you sit down."
Luke sat down on the couch and looked at Jennifer Perry, who was diagonally across from him.
