Gold Nugget whimpered as it chewed on the dumplings.
Luke turned his head with a smile. "It didn't steal it, so it's for it. I asked it to taste it. Yours will be ready soon. You can go to the table. "
Selina quickly ran to the table. "Chef, serve the food."
Gold Nugget also ran over and sat down at the table.
Selina extended her foot angrily and kicked its butt twice. "B * stard, don't copy me."
Dollar stuck out its big tongue to lick her. This time, Dollar wanted to get closer to her.
Laughing, Selina put her foot on Dollar's chest to stop the scary salivating monster from launching a spattering attack.
Luke came out with a tall steamer. Ignoring the two energetic fellows, he started eating on his own.
He only needed to throw out one dumpling to distract the two dog heads, and the three of them naturally stopped messing around.
After they finished twenty steamers of dumplings for breakfast, Luke took out a box from his room. "A special gift from Rio."
Selina chuckled and quickly accepted it.
She had forgotten about it last night because of her guilty conscience.
Opening it, she was a little uncertain. "Diamond?"
Luke chuckled. "Good thing you didn't say glass. It's tourmaline. It's not too expensive. You can wear it on vacation. "
Looking at the light yellow tourmaline gem in her hand, Selina suddenly had an idea. She brought it to Dollar's head and compared it for a moment, before she exclaimed in delight, "This looks a little like Dollar!"
Amused, Luke nodded in agreement.
He had indeed bought it for her because of that.
It seemed a good match for a certain golden pig that he had given her before.
Watching Selina put the gift away in the room, Gold Nugget stared at Luke and whimpered.
Luke was stunned. "Your gift … Fine, it's all here."
Saying that, he went back to his room and took out a bunch of Brazilian fruit juices from his inventory.
He put them in front of Gold Nugget. "This is a Brazilian specialty with eighteen mysterious flavors. I guarantee it's unique."
Gold Nugget sniffed them for a moment, before it raised its head and looked at him in disdain as it lined up the juices.
There were five juices in a row, so there was one extra for every two rows.
Luke was instantly embarrassed. "Fine, there are only eleven cans. You can't blame my elementary school math teacher. I just said it without thinking. Just tell me if you want it or not? "
Hearing that, Gold Nugget scurried out with a whoosh. A moment later, it dragged out an empty bag from Selina's room. It put all the juice into the bag, then hung it up and put it next to its kennel.
Selina yelled angrily from inside the room, "That's a new bag I bought a few days ago. It cost me fifty dollars, okay? You bad dog … "
Putting away their gifts, Selina and Gold Nugget went to work in satisfaction.
Today, they reported to the police department with Gold Nugget.
Recently, Selina had brought it here more often. Seeing that no one objected, she no longer left it in the car.
The colleagues of the Major Crimes Division greeted Luke, who they hadn't seen in a long time. They also took the snacks from Selina.
The sharp-tongued Billy King said, "Luke, Selina's in a better mood now that you're back, right? I asked her why she stopped giving us snacks, and she said she was in a bad mood. Hehe … "
Luke poked the old man's belly with his finger. "Didn't you eat the doughnuts she bought? Why is your belly getting bigger and bigger? "
Billy King slapped Luke's hand away angrily. "Get lost. In Chinese, this is called a beer belly. Do you understand? I didn't get it from eating snacks. "
Luke said, "Then you should drink less after work and go home early to keep your wife company."
Depressed, Billy King turned around and said, "Let's not talk about this. We're still good colleagues."
Luke chuckled and watched the middle-aged detective leave.
Billy's wife was also Chinese and very shrewish. Billy was very obedient at home, and could only be wild when he went out to drink.
But his wife took good care of him and his family, and Billy wasn't unhappy about it. It was just a happy annoyance.
After greeting his colleagues, Luke went to Elsa's office.
Elsa didn't even look at the snacks Selina gave her. She simply picked them up and put them in her drawer, before she asked, "Have you rested enough?"
Luke nodded with a smile.
Elsa stood up and walked to a cabinet on the side. She took out a stack of files. "These are yours. Do you have any objections?"
Luke said, "No objections. However, boss, do you want to have lunch together? "
Elsa asked, "What's up?"
Luke said, "Nothing. I just want to talk about Martin and Roger."
Elsa nodded. "Okay, you can go back to work now."
Luke picked up the files and left with a smile.
Selina returned to her desk and read the files. She said, "She's probably on her period. Don't worry about it."
Luke was stunned. "On her period? I thought it was because she was under too much pressure at work. "
Selina was speechless for a moment, before she nodded. "Fine, maybe it's related to both."
Luke asked, "Have you been busy with work recently?"
Selina said, "You don't know? The Stark Industrial Exhibition is about to be held again. Now that all sorts of people are swarming into Los Angeles, isn't it a lot of work? "
Luke scratched his head. "Really? No wonder. "
There wasn't anything wrong with the Stark Industrial Exhibition itself, but it would bring an astonishing amount of traffic to downtown Los Angeles in a short period of time.
Businesses, clients, and tourists from all over the world would take advantage of the opportunity to come to Los Angeles.
Also, Stark Industries sold firearms.
It wasn't hard to imagine what kind of people its clients and tourists were.
Los Angeles wasn't a peaceful place to begin with, and it wasn't unusual for local tyrants to have conflicts with powerful forces.
If there were one or two hundred more robberies and murders, the entire Major Crimes Division would be busy for a while.
Stark Industries was also a huge taxpayer in Los Angeles, and the police department received all kinds of donations from it every year.
What did the American police do? Of course, it was to provide good security for these rich people.
Faced with the situation, LAPD could only ask all the officers to work overtime to maintain order.
As she flipped through the files, Selina started tossing them at Luke. "This has to be a priority, and so does this one. We can't delay this one …"
Looking at the cases that had been tossed at him, Luke clicked his tongue. "Is the situation that bad?"
Selina didn't even raise her head. "Otherwise, at night … cough, cough. That's why I've been busy recently."
Luke glanced at her and didn't ask any more questions.
He knew that what she wasn't saying was that she had been beating up a lot of hooligans at night recently, which had something to do with the deteriorating security.
After skimming through the files, Luke got up. "Let's go. We'll have to work overtime for the next few days."
