In this way, nobody on the DEA's side would know that Luke was involved except for the bigshot himself.
As long as Luke kept it a secret, nobody would know what he had read.
Selina clicked her tongue. "Is their mole that rampant?"
Luke chuckled. "Who knows?"
Nobody could be powerful all the time, not even countries, let alone the DEA, which was just a law enforcement agency.
He dropped the case and started to prepare food for Selina.
Gold Nugget could pass the time with all kinds of snacks. It had been obsessed with these things recently. Selina could buy a lot of them when she passed by the supermarket.
While cooking, he thought about what he could do in Rio de Janeiro this time.
Cooking was a way for him to practice multitasking and calm down.
After a long time, he had gotten used to making plans for a lot of things when he was cooking.
The plans he made under these circumstances were always the calmest and most objective.
Rio de Janeiro, or Rio for short, was a world-famous tourist city. It was indeed an extremely beautiful place.
On the other hand, Los Angeles was known as the City of Sin, but compared with Rio de Janeiro in Brazil, it was already a paradise on earth.
At the very least, the drug dealers in Los Angeles wouldn't send people to openly stand at the entrance with automatic weapons to guard their territory.
Of course, that might be because the drug dealers in Los Angeles didn't want to be too brazen. They would usually hide their guns under their clothes and stand in some hidden corner.
Rio was very similar to Los Angeles. A prosperous city had a lot of extremely poor residents.
Rio's prosperous downtown and southern tourist areas were the places most visited by the rich and foreign tourists. There were even more slums of various sizes all over the city. It was like a different world altogether.
The informant that the DEA was looking for probably wasn't in the downtown or southern districts. It was most likely that the informant had fallen into the hands of the drug dealers in the slums.
It was only in these places that it would be hard for the DEA to find clues.
As he pondered, his hands didn't stop moving.
After lunch, he started to train Selina and Gold Nugget in safety.
Since he was going on a long trip, he had to give Gold Nugget some training.
Only by developing a habit could you avoid loopholes to the greatest extent.
The reason why they could chat freely at home was because Luke had modified the house.
Blocking outside surveillance was one thing, and there was also an alarm in the house when it was under surveillance.
Even so, Gold Nugget had to reduce the number of times it showed itself.
In this era, technology was getting more and more advanced, and there was no guarantee that one day, some even more advanced detection technology would appear, or if they were unlucky enough to meet a strange superpower user.
This was also the reason why Gluttony was named Gold Nugget.
There was no rule that a dog could only have one name. Both Dollar and Gold Nugget had the same style. At most, it could only mean that … Selina loved money.
Gold Nugget still had to continue training, but Selina could take it to work.
Given her current position in the Major Crimes Division, nobody would say anything if she took Dollar to the office every now and then.
Then, Luke and Selina looked up the files together.
However, Luke's main focus was on the gangs over there, while Selina helped him look up information on the terrain, traffic, and local rumors.
These would all be copied into his personal notebook, and he could look at them at any time.
That night, a phone call came.
Luke went out and returned two hours later, empty-handed.
Looking at Selina's inquiring eyes, he shrugged. "I'm in a hurry. I'll set off tonight."
This time, Selina didn't yell that it wasn't fair or that she wanted to go as well as she did in the past. She simply nodded silently and began to transfer the files to his notebook.
Looking at her expression, Luke asked suspiciously, "Are you alright?"
Selina was at a loss. "Huh? What's wrong?"
Luke looked at her for a moment, but still didn't say anything.
Was it because she had Dollar that she wasn't so bored staying at home alone? Also, there was now Gold Nugget.
That's fine too. He mumbled to himself.
Luke simply packed a small backpack and took everything with him.
He didn't need his gun, badge, or clothes; he only took his passport and credit cards.
Watching Luke drive away in his secondhand Ford, Selina patted Dollar's head, which was crouching next to her. "Okay, it's time for training and testing."
Dollar nudged her hand with its head in agreement.
After more than ten hours of flight, Luke walked out of Rio de Janeiro International Airport.
Instead of taking a taxi, he took a bus and slowly entered the world-famous City of God.
Looking at the complicated and chaotic city, Luke simply said in his heart, Here I come, Rio!
Outside the car window, the skyscrapers in the middle of the city were very eye-catching in the early morning sunlight.
When he passed the most famous Copacabana Beach, Luke could only sigh at the sight of all the bikini-clad beauties in the distance.
He wasn't here to play. At the very least, this wasn't where he would be staying until he completed his mission.
Otherwise, he would have to spend a lot of time on the road every day, which was too much of a waste for someone who only slept for an hour or two a day.
Compared with its famous beaches and modern skyscrapers, Rio was more famous for its slums.
Dozens of slums of various sizes were scattered throughout the city, and a third of Rio's population lived there.
Luke wasn't surprised by that.
The various houses that were stacked up like building blocks weren't anything special.
In his previous life, he had seen farmers build their own houses in some small cities in China, and they were also densely packed according to the terrain.
There was no overall plan for these buildings. Everyone built their own, and as they accumulated over the years, they naturally formed this kind of building pattern.
What was even more interesting was that many of the slums occupied the best areas. As the saying went, with their backs to the mountains and their faces to the sea, they were first-class places.
The rich areas, on the other hand, were at the foot of the mountains closer to the coast, which was the complete opposite of other places where the poor lived at the foot of the mountains and the rich lived on the mountains.
Luke didn't look for a place to rest. Instead, he went straight to the slum where his informant had disappeared, which was also one of the largest slums in Rio: Rossiglia.
Interestingly, Rossiglia was located on the world-famous Mount Jesus.
At the top of the mountain, the statue of the merciful Father looked down from above, but at the foot of the statue was the area where Rio's poorest people lived.
Even though the people here could see Ipanema Beach, the most beautiful in Rio, their lives were still hard.
Luke found a place to put on some makeup before he looked around like a regular tourist.
But other tourists were basically in groups, led by local guides. It was rare to see someone wandering around on his own like Luke.
