Two minutes after they arrived, Luke came up as well.
Seeing that everybody was looking at him, Luke said, "It's too late. Let's take Kris home. Nancy, you … "
Nancy and Quentin looked at each other and said in unison, "We'll stay at Kris's place for the night. Let's stay in the living room."
Luke simply nodded with a smile. "Then let's go."
The night passed uneventfully.
Luke and Selina didn't sleep at all. They were awake and kept an eye on the four of them.
It wasn't until ten o 'clock the next morning, when Luke and Selina were leisurely eating breakfast that they had just made, that the four people in the living room woke up one after another.
Nancy and Quentin thanked Luke, and after a few words of advice, they said goodbye to Kris and left.
After they left, Luke drove Kris to the supermarket to restock the food and other things that they had used up.
Kris refused, but Luke explained, "It's best to keep our visit to your house and what happened last night a secret. Nothing good will come out of it except creating panic and raising suspicions that you're mentally ill. So, it's better to keep these things as they were. "
Kris was lost for words.
Now that he put it that way, it really wasn't a matter of money.
Also, after Luke put the things back in her house, Kris was surprised to find that the house felt much the same as it had before Luke and Selina had arrived last night.
"How did you do it?" she murmured.
Luke was amused. "We're detectives. We're trained in this field. Remember not to mention that name to anyone, including Quentin and Nancy. Just treat it as a dream. If you meet that guy again, call me at this number. "
Kris took his official business card and carefully put it away. Then, she saw the two of them out.
Watching the car disappear at the end of the road, she sighed and felt somewhat disappointed.
Maybe she should ask her mother to transfer her to a school far away from Springwood? That was the thought that popped up in her mind.
Luke and Selina set off, and Bobby followed them to No. 37 Middle School's campsite, where they met up with Jeff's twin daughters again.
He warned the two girls not to spread the news about Springwood, and not to be overly suspicious, but the twins looked at him suspiciously.
Luke and Selina looked at each other and couldn't help but feel helpless. This expression … was exactly the same as Karen's paranoia.
"There was indeed a case, but that's the police's business. What are you guys trying to do by actively spreading this bloody news in the campsite? Scare your classmates crazy? Or drive your teacher crazy? "asked Luke.
The twins were speechless. After a while, the elder sister, Susina, muttered, "We … just want to know the truth."
Luke nodded cheerfully. "Then you can study hard and become detectives after you graduate. In Los Angeles alone, the files of unsolved murder cases that are piled up every year fill up a 200-square-meter archive room. The five floors of the archive shelves are filled with the files of these cases. "
The twins were speechless. What does this have to do with us?
Luke continued, "Also, the police department has a special team that investigates old cases, and they're always short of manpower. Last year, they solved three old adult cases, setting a new record for the number of cases closed in recent years. Right now, there are only a few thousand cases that haven't been solved yet. That's enough to satisfy your thirst for the truth. "
The twins: "…"
Luke was still worried that he had dealt a blow to the sisters' gossipy spirit this way.
While they were annoyed by his teasing, he activated his Mental Communication ability and gave the twins a little psychological suggestion.
But Luke didn't have much hope that the hint would be effective.
The twins were the same paranoia as Karen's. It was easy to change a leopard, but hard to change a leopard's spots.
Mental Communication wasn't powerful enough to completely brainwash them, so he could only deal with it this way for now.
More importantly, Freddy wasn't dead.
If the twins continued spreading the guy's "fame," he might very well be summoned back.
Luke had no idea how to kill Freddy, and he really wasn't interested in chopping up this weak Mage and burning him again.
Having done this, he went to greet Juliet, and described what had happened in Springwood to indicate that the case was closed.
Poor Will Rawlings, however, wouldn't be able to come back to continue camping.
After giving Juliet his contact information, the three of them returned to Los Angeles in two cars.
At the apartment that still belonged to Bobby's dormitory, Luke sent Bobby upstairs. A moment later, he got into the car and sighed helplessly. Selina found that odd.
"Why do I get the feeling that you can't bear to part with Bobby?"
After a brief silence, Luke shook his head. "I really hope that the gold mine over there can be dug out sooner."
The mines in Boom Town were still locked down.
Luke had asked Captain Wales about it, and learned that the fake FBI agents wouldn't leave until a week later, which was a lot earlier than he had expected.
Since Bobby didn't have anything to do, he would stay in Los Angeles for a few days.
What Luke was really reluctant to part with was Bobby's Mental Communication.
Just a moment ago, he had played two rounds of blackjack with Bobby and successfully knocked out his cards.
Bobby's list of abilities had also turned gray. "Temporarily unavailable."
The guy was really unlucky to have been dragged into nightmares by Freddy twice last night.
Who knew if Bobby's Mental Communication would have a chemical reaction with Freddy's ability to enter dreams, and somehow bring Freddy back again.
Luke didn't dare let the guy's bad luck continue, or he might be killed.
Now, he could only wait until the gold mine was dug out. Maybe the guy would thank him for making a fortune.
If the guy still didn't know how to be grateful by then, Luke could only grunt …
After settling the matter in Springwood, they went straight to the police station. Elsa looked at them in surprise. "What's going on?"
"It's done," said Luke simply.
Elsa didn't ask any more questions.
She only needed to know the itinerary, and she wouldn't ask about the details.
Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to pretend that she didn't know anything if Internal Affairs investigated her after something went wrong.
"Then why are you here now?" asked Elsa.
Luke chuckled. "I'm here for cases. I can work on any urgent cases first. "
Elsa was suspicious. "Don't you have a few more cases on hand?"
Luke said, "I'm very efficient. I can work on more."
Ayesha looked at him with a strange expression, but still found a pile of files on the table. "Take this and check it."
Luke and Selina had always been diligent, but why did he keep asking for cases?
Luke gave the files to Selina. "You take a look first. I need to talk to the boss."
