Luke closed his eyes for a moment and shook his head. "To put it simply, an officer of the Houston Police Department went missing on vacation in his hometown of Laquin. The bureau wants to intervene in this case as a sign of concern for the officers under them. "
Selina didn't believe him. "Laquin's police department would let Houston's police department enforce the law in their territory? Which idiot came up with that idea? "
Luke glanced at her and said, "Don't say that out loud, because it's our boss, Chief Thomas."
Selina stuck out her tongue. She knew that she would be in big trouble if she said that out loud.
Luke continued, "But you're right. Laquin's police department directly turned down Westside's proposal for a joint investigation, and the case has reached an impasse. Also, because of this proposal, Laquin's police department isn't very active in investigating the missing officer. It's been a month, and there's still no progress. If something unexpected happens, the case will become an old one and end up in the archives. "
Selina stomped on the couch angrily. Her long, tanned legs were very attractive. "Damn it. What can we do?"
Luke didn't even try to hide his appreciation as he said, "Brock's intention is clear. He wants us to stay in Laquin for a month. By the time we come back, we'll be in the limelight yesterday. Deputy Chief Thomas is the one who asked us to come in. He can't suppress us openly, so he can only delay us. "
Selina got it. She rolled her eyes and asked, "Thomas is our backer? What's his relationship with Robert? "
Luke chuckled. "He's Robert's old comrade-in-arms. But we're not Robert's biological sons. So, the most he can do is protect us from malicious suppression. We'll have to take care of the rest ourselves. We can only investigate this case honestly. Going to Thomas in private will only make everyone in the Major Crimes Division dislike us. "Selina was curious.
Selina was curious. "Why do you dislike us?"
Luke said, "Would you like a subordinate or colleague who immediately snitches when they're wronged? If you don't want to be a thorn in the Major Crimes Division's side, don't go to Thomas at all. "
Selena replied, "Oh."
Luke reminded her again, "Don't tell anyone else about our discussion today, including our relationship with Thomas. Remember that."
Selena nodded.
She was already very good at listening to Luke, because Luke had always been right.
After working together for a few months, she felt that Luke didn't seem nineteen, but more like a thirty-year-old man. It was as if she had an older brother.
"Are we really going to Laquin to investigate a case?" Selina asked.
Without the other party's permission, the two of them didn't have the power to enforce the law. It was even more convenient for them to investigate the case than private detectives.
Private detectives could also use a lot of gray methods. If they did that, once they were caught, they might lose their jobs.
Luke nodded. "We'll go tomorrow. Anyway, we won't lose anything if we can't solve the case. Let's just take it as a trip to Laquin. I heard that the environment there is good. "
Selina thought about it and agreed. She was in a good mood.
She had just been promoted and was very happy. She didn't feel anything about Brock's little trick.
After all, she had been a police officer in town for four years. After four months as Luke's partner, she had been promoted twice.
Luke cooked dinner again that night.
He was going to Laquin tomorrow, and it was obvious that he had been sent there to be free. He was in a relaxed mood.
His promotion was more important than Selina's.
His Super Detective System was more suitable for frontline work. Being promoted to a management position wouldn't do him much good.
So, it was better to slow down the speed of his promotion.
Brock's little trick wasn't out of line, and Luke wouldn't hold a grudge against Brock.
However, Brock wouldn't be friends with him. Their relationship was destined to be just business.
Luke had enough time to prepare today. He simply drove out and bought a bunch of groceries from the supermarket. Then, he started cooking alone in the kitchen.
After dinner, Selina was shocked when she saw the food on the table. "You didn't really learn how to cook, did you?"
Selina wasn't surprised that Luke had made last night. That was basically a hodgepodge.
But today, Luke had made two official dishes and two bowls of egg fried rice.
For egg fried rice, Luke had beaten the eggs and covered the rice with a layer of liquid, instead of separating the eggs from the rice.
So, when the egg fried rice was piled up, it was very pleasing to the eye.
The two dishes were also simple: shredded beef with sweet peppers and scrambled eggs with tomatoes.
Fine, it was a little weird to pair egg fried rice with scrambled eggs with tomatoes, but Luke liked the taste of the scrambled eggs with tomatoes. Selina certainly wouldn't complain.
Luke put the dishes on the table, when someone knocked on the door.
Luke and Selina looked at each other and found it strange.
They had just moved in and weren't familiar with their colleagues or neighbors. Why would someone be here?
Selina opened the door. After all, Luke had just finished cooking.
When she opened the door, Selina exclaimed, "It's you? What are you doing here? "
Luke turned his head and saw a woman with a baseball cap in her hand. She smiled shyly and said, "Hello, thank you for yesterday."
Who else could it be but Carol?
Luke reacted quickly. "Come in. Selina, close the door."
A moment later, Luke and Selina looked at Carol and were lost for words.
The smell of food wafted over, and Carol's stomach growled. She lowered her head in embarrassment.
After a brief silence, Luke asked, "Do you want to eat together?" It was a Chinese way of asking, and it was mostly just a courtesy.
However, Carlo immediately nodded vigorously and swallowed his saliva.
Selina's heart pounded. Was she going to be robbed of all her food?
Luke got a bowl, a fork, and a spoon and divided his egg fried rice in half. He then called the two women over and said, "Let's eat first."
But … Luke wasn't full yet.
He had prepared dinner for two people in the first place, and now that Carol was hungry, it wasn't enough at all.
How much could Carol eat? Considering that her ability was Elementary Self-Healing, it was easy to guess.
This kind of physical ability, unless there were other ways to supply energy, most people would have to rely on food to obtain energy.
For example, Luke would consume a lot of food when he added points.
Carol had just been resurrected yesterday. There was no telling how long she had been hungry.
In the end, Luke had to take out the high-calorie chocolates that he had bought earlier and let her eat them on the couch as dessert.
