Half an hour later, looking at the pastries in the window, Selina murmured, "So this is how you work overtime."
Luke said matter-of-factly, "Look at how exhausted we are. How can we investigate cases on an empty stomach? Lucy, help me get the pastries. "
Lucy, the waitress, came over with a smile. "Luke, long time no see. Which one do you want today?"
Luke nodded with a smile and pointed at a row of pastries. "Ten of each of these."
Lucy was surprised. "Are you sure?" Luke had pointed at more than ten pastries just now.
Luke nodded with a smile. "There are three good ones at home. If I don't buy more, there won't be enough."
Lucy was only slightly surprised, but didn't think too much about it. In any case, this big customer always bought a lot of pastries every time.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have such a deep impression of him. Also, he was very handsome, which made her impression even deeper.
They carried a lot of boxes out. They put some of the pastries that weren't afraid of tipping over in the trunk and the rest in the backseat.
Luke said to the dog head in the backseat, "Gold Nugget, be careful not to tip them over. Your favorite strawberry cream cake is in there."
Gold Nugget immediately stretched out a paw and pressed it against the pile of boxes.
Luke nodded in satisfaction. "Good boy."
Selina said, "Hey, I'll have half of it later. It's not all for you."
"Waah!" Dollar blinked its beady little eyes with a blank look on its face.
Selina said, "It's useless for Dollar to act cute. Half of it has to be mine."
Dollar tilted its big head and looked at its little master innocently. The alien dog head simply pretended to be deaf.
Driving off, Luke said, "That's simple. It can't eat the cake itself. You can toss as much as you want when you eat it, right? "
Selina thought for a moment and agreed. "Haha, it's an advantage to have hands."
Gold Nugget silently lowered its head and looked at its paw, feeling extremely aggrieved. Shameless! If Luke hadn't forbade me from breaking the rules, I would've conjured hundreds of tentacles and snatched the cake a hundred times faster than you!
Thankfully, Selina was just saying it.
Sitting in the front seat, she and Gold Nugget started eating the cake one by one.
Without turning around, she threw the cake behind her. Gold Nugget opened its mouth and caught it firmly, not missing a single one.
The man and the dog worked together seamlessly.
Luke didn't bother with the two of them.
With Dollar and Gold Nugget by her side, Selina was a lot livelier.
Compared to the last time she came back from Mexico, she seemed to have let go of some of her worries.
In this regard, he was very gratified.
Otherwise, why would he let Gold Nugget off so easily? At the very least, it should have been given a few days of snacks and dog food as punishment.
Now that the merits and demerits offset each other, they were even.
Not long after, the two of them arrived at an underground garage at the back door of a bank.
After showing their IDs, they parked the car and walked to a small door.
Looking around, Luke asked curiously, "The robber's death wasn't captured on camera?"
While eating, Selina replied, "There's a video recording of the robbery in the lobby, but the cameras here weren't able to capture him before they were either hit or destroyed."
Luke asked, "Then, the bank changed the cameras, right?"
Selina nodded. "That's right. It's been two days since the incident. Of course the cameras can't be broken all the time."
Luke looked at where the cameras were. "The guy ran off on his own, so how did he destroy the cameras? Did he shoot them? "
Selina said, "The guy had a gun, but it wasn't a gun that destroyed the cameras."
Luke and Selina were investigating a bank robbery as well as a murder case.
But the person who died wasn't a bank security guard or a customer, but the robber himself.
After the robbery succeeded, the unlucky guy couldn't get out, and hung himself at the door of the hallway.
Taking out a photo from the case file and comparing it to the door, Luke sighed. "In any case, I don't believe that the robber had a change of conscience and hung himself here after he succeeded."
Selina nodded. "I don't believe it either."
After looking at the scene, Luke didn't waste any more time and left.
Sitting in a private room in the restaurant, he flipped through the case file and looked at the crime scene photos. He had a rough idea of what was going on.
Selina read the case file while eating cream cake and putting a piece of cake on Dollar's plate every now and then.
Soon, Elsa opened the door and came in.
She nodded in satisfaction at how diligent they were.
Although they liked to eat and drink, they weren't sloppy when it came to their work.
Luke raised his head and greeted her with a smile. "Can we order now, boss? Boss. "
Elsa nodded in agreement.
The three of them quickly ordered a lot of food and ate.
After they were done eating and drinking tea, Elsa said, "Tell me what you want to know."
Luke shrugged. "I want to know about Roger and Martin's work."
Staring at him for a moment, Elsa suddenly smiled. "Don't you know what's going on with them? I let you out for two weeks. It would be a waste of resources if you didn't find anything. "
Luke asked, "So they're fine?"
Elsa nodded. "Sort of. They received a public warning that they won't be able to get promoted for two years. But Roger doesn't plan to get promoted for the time being, and Martin doesn't care about it. "
Luke was quite satisfied with Palmer. She had put in a lot of effort to make the DEA take the blame for what happened in Tijuana.
Elsa, however, added, "But Martin might be on a long leave, and Roger will be on a short one."
Luke was stunned. "Why?"
Elsa said, "I don't know. I only asked Martin once, and he said that he needed to adjust his mentality. After confirming that everything is fine, we'll talk about work. It's said that Roger's heart problem is flaring up again. "
Luke chuckled. "Are you sure it's not because of Martin?"
Elsa nodded helplessly. "I think so. After all, he's getting on in years. What he did this time is a little … exaggerated. It's not a bad idea to give him a break."
Looking at Luke's grin, she couldn't help but say, "Don't be so happy. They're very good at solving cases. Now that they're on a break, a lot of their cases will come to us. You'll have to work overtime. "
She felt a little helpless as she said that.
Luke and Selina were all dealing with troublesome cases. If they were handled by other detectives, it would be a miracle if they could solve 10% of the cases. It was already impressive that Luke and Selina could solve 30% of the cases.
She felt that it was too much to put more pressure on them now.
Luke had been away for two weeks. She knew that he was probably on vacation, but she hadn't called him to ask him to come back, which was to make it up to him.
But the Stark Industrial Fair was about to open, and she couldn't let her most capable general slack off any longer.
Luke nodded with a smile. "No problem, boss. In any case, I'll take care of any case that I can. "
