Selina chuckled. "Boss, I just graduated from high school. I won't be as good as her in the future."
Elsa snorted and said in a low voice, "If you and Luke want to, you can go to a third-rate university and get a diploma in a few years. By then, it'll be up to you if you want to be promoted."
Luke didn't respond. He didn't want to be a sheriff or a supervisor. As for Selina … He looked at someone next to him.
Selina glared at him warily. "I don't have time to go to college."
Luke hummed and remembered the survival training he had arranged for her. It didn't seem like she had much time.
However, he could ask Jenny. If there was a proper university that cost more money and less classes, they could get a college degree there.
Selina had attended police academy before. She only needed to take the detective exam, and she had a better foundation than Luke.
Luke had a college degree himself. At most, he wouldn't have to take the civil service exam, and he wouldn't have to be promoted to sergeant.
Elsa couldn't be bothered to watch the pair exchange glances. She said, "But I can give you a week at most for this case. Remember, that includes the trip. "
Luke shrugged. "Not a problem."
If he couldn't solve a case in a week, there was no point in staying there any time soon.
Whether they went or not was a matter of attitude, but whether they could solve the case or not was a matter of luck.
At this point, the two of them were chased away.
Half an hour later, Elizabeth returned in a hoarse voice, but she was delighted. "Luke, Selina, my mother is very happy that you can come."
Luke looked at her and said, "Elizabeth, be honest. Your mother's attitude will determine how far we can go in the investigation. "
Elizabeth lowered her head. "I convinced her. She's willing to help you as much as possible. It's just that … "
Selina said, "It's just that we can't interfere with local law and order here."
Elizabeth lowered her head and didn't say anything.
Luke said, "Raise your head, Elizabeth."
Elizabeth reflexively raised her head and looked at him.
"That's your family," Luke said calmly. Luke said calmly, "There's nothing to be ashamed of when you work hard for your family. So, don't act like you've done something wrong. "
Y'lisabet nodded slowly. "Yes."
Luke suddenly chuckled. "Besides, Elsa asked for it. Are you afraid that I won't help?"
Selena pursed her lips.
She didn't believe his nonsense. If he really didn't want to go, he could even refuse to go. How could Elsa have a conflict with him over this kind of case?
Y'lisabet just continued to nod, understanding in her heart.
Elsa didn't have the final say in this matter; Luke was the one who could.
However, Elsa's willingness to speak was also a sign of her attitude, and Luke had no choice but to agree.
Both of them took good care of her.
Luke continued, "What's going on over there? Tell us everything you know. I don't want anything to go wrong. "
Elizabeth finally told Luke what had happened in detail. Luke frowned. "Your mother can notify the FBI now, right?"
Based on what Y'lisabet said, there were only two sheriffs in that town. There was no need to worry about their reputation when there was a troublesome case. The most important thing was that nothing happened.
Y'lisabet smiled bitterly. "That should've been the case. But it happened in the last two days. Wade, the mayor, took the opportunity to persuade everybody that the town wasn't safe anymore, and that they should accept Vitello Corporation's offer to sell the town and move. A lot of people suspect that Wade is just trying to scare everybody. My mother isn't sure either. "
Luke asked, "Do you believe what your brother says?"
Y'lisabet said solemnly, "Mike and I have always been close, and he rarely lies to me, especially when it comes to such a terrible thing. That's why I thought of you."
After all, you're the best detective in LAPD who can fight and solve cases. She thought to herself.
Y'lisabet wasn't just because of her face that Luke and Elsa valued her, although she was even prettier than Selena.
She was also smart.
Luke was an expert detective who could take on fifty people on his own. He had even solved Jennifer's case on the same day.
Nobody could ensure her family's safety better than him.
The conversation only took twenty minutes. Y'lisabet even gave Selena a copy of the files on her hometown so that Selena could analyze them on the way.
Luke and Selena didn't waste any time, and simply set off.
The two of them were still driving the police station's car.
After Luke's extensive modifications, the car was far more useful than a luxury car.
Y'lisabet's mother had also faxed a request for assistance.
While it was a little exaggerated for a small town in Arizona to ask a detective from LAPD to help with a case, it was official business.
After hanging up Y'lisabet, Selena glanced at Luke and snorted. "Let me remind you that you can't mess around with a teacher and a student."
Luke: "What?"
Selena said, "Also, you can't mess around with colleagues."
Luke was unperturbed. "Okay."
Selina sighed in boredom. "Your good student has already gotten the documents to assist in the investigation. Now, we're on a real business trip. We're no longer illegal residents."
Luke nodded and didn't say anything.
Selena asked, "Were you flirting with her just now? Don't act like you've done something wrong. " If it were any of the older detectives in the unit, they would definitely be in trouble. "
Luke said, "But I … I don't think I'm a veteran detective. I'm still young."
Selena was stumped for a moment, before she realized what was going on. She said angrily, "I'm young too. I'm only twenty-four!"
Luke said, "Hm, soon. I'll be twenty-five soon."
Selena was lost for words. "… I still remember when I was in Shackelford, people often said that I was an angel."
Luke smiled. "That's right. You're an angel now, and you'll always be one."
Selena snorted and buried her head in the files in silence.
With Elementary Self-Healing, Luke took on most of the driving duties. Driving wouldn't cause any strain on his body.
Selina was tired of reading the files and took a nap on the way. Illuminated by the setting sun, the two of them entered Boom Town.
An old sign on the side of the road said, "20 miles from Boom Town."
This used to be a prosperous town, which was why it was named Boom.
But after the gold mines here were all mined, the town had inevitably declined.
Now, even the mayor was negotiating with a certain major company to sell the town as a whole.
