Jessica took the five keys from the doorknob and tested them. They were indeed keys to a metal door. A set of five keys was standard for most new doors.
So, someone had secretly changed a cell door for her last night and had even been considerate enough to leave the keys behind? Her mind spun for a moment, and she suddenly remembered something. She rushed to the sofa.
Jessica took out her phone from her pocket and was about to make a call, when she saw a new message.
She subconsciously opened it and was lost for words when she saw a short message.
Miss Jones, to thank you for the lead, I helped you get a safer door. Don't thank me. You deserve it! — High school detective.
This was the contact name that Jessica had given Luke.
What had left the deepest impression on her about this young detective was his handsome but young face.
Of course, she now felt that she should revise her understanding of him.
"What do you mean I deserve it? The only thing I deserve is a broken prison door?! Are you crazy? "the female detective suddenly roared.
The female voice on the roof echoed, unwilling to be outdone. "You're the crazy one. You're crazy every day …"
"B * tch, believe it or not, I'll blow up your door …" the female detective roared, unwilling to be outdone.
The world seemed to have suddenly come alive!
…
On the other side, Luke and Selina left after breakfast in the early morning sun. They first went to Metro Hospital to check on Walter, whose condition had stabilized.
A week ago, this dutiful lieutenant had unfortunately been attacked by two thugs from Blood Skull and had been seriously injured.
Even worse, the two thugs had confessed that their mission was actually just to break one of Walter's legs.
In the end, the overly vigilant Walter had resisted at the last moment. The two thugs had impulsively hit him twice in the head and successfully sent him to the ICU.
Fortunately, Walter was recovering well, and Luke hadn't guessed that he would retire due to illness.
Walter's doctor said that the patient could be discharged in two to three weeks, and that he would be able to exercise moderately in a month.
This also meant that Walter's career was not over yet. At the age of 41, he could still work for another 20 years.
Walter was recovering well, but his head had been blown out. Luke and Selina simply greeted him and told him that he didn't have to worry about any follow-up investigations if he was attacked.
Walter shook Luke's hand for a moment and said in a low voice, "Thank you."
He had already learned from Ricky that Luke and Selina had arrested the two attackers less than an hour after the incident.
The next day, Dustin wiped out the two attackers' gangs.
On the matter of him being attacked, his new boss and colleagues had done their best. They didn't have the slightest intention of brushing it off.
It was one thing for Walter and Dustin to compete for a promotion, but it was another for his colleagues to stand up for him. He had to thank Luke, Selina, and even his competitor, Dustin.
In the afternoon, Luke and Selina were in the lobby of the Detective Bureau, which was a rare sight. They sat at their desks and looked up information.
This was to determine if there were any flaws in last night's case for NYPD, and secondly, to see Kingpin's reaction.
From the looks of it, they had done a good job last night, and Kingpin's forces hadn't made any moves for the time being.
At three in the afternoon, Luke and Selina got off work early and went home.
There was an invitation to Haley's private party tonight at six.
They went home early. They had to complete their daily training schedule before they went to the party.
They could have fun, but they had to finish what they had to do. This was a habit they had developed over the past year.
At five in the afternoon, Luke took a shower and changed his clothes. When he went downstairs, he saw Gold Nugget, who was eating a chocolate ball and watching a show. He immediately slapped his forehead. He had forgotten about this guy.
He took out his phone and called Haley. "Um, are you allergic to dog fur?"
Haley thought for a moment, then said with a smile, "You want to bring that precious golden retriever with you, right?"
Luke said, "Yes, it'll be angry for a long time if it finds out I'm out playing without it."
The smile in Haley's voice was obvious. "Okay, I don't keep pets at home, but you can bring it."
Luke said, "Thank you."
Gold Nugget's ears pricked up when it heard "playing." After Luke hung up, it sat up and whimpered.
Luke said, "Alright, it's not allergic to dog fur, so it's fine if you come with us. But you have to control your food. As an old dog, they definitely won't be able to accept you eating dozens of pounds of food in one meal. "
Gold Nugget whined.
Luke said, "Okay, I can have Selina bring you some candy."
Gold Nugget thought for a moment, then accepted the suggestion.
As long as it didn't chew the candy, it could still eat it.
While Luke and Gold Nugget were chatting, Selina came downstairs.
She had dressed up a little today. She wasn't wearing the white shirt and jeans she usually wore, but the bohemian clothes that Luke had bought for her. She also had a matching orange and red shawl on her shoulders.
She usually didn't have a ponytail, but her long hair was naturally curled over her shoulders.
"How is it?" She twisted her body to show him what she was wearing tonight.
Luke said, "It's pretty and casual."
Selina was satisfied, but when she looked at his outfit, she asked, "You're going just like that?"
Luke shrugged. "As a man, I don't need to compete with women in terms of dress sense."
Selina thought for a moment and agreed, so she didn't criticize him for his laziness.
As expected, most of the people at tonight's party were women. He wasn't going to pick up girls, so there was no need to dress too handsomely.
A trench coat and casual overalls weren't much different from what he usually wore at work.
But thanks to his figure and looks, he often received phone numbers from enthusiastic girls on the street who expressed that they would be happy to start a personal friendship with him, whether long or short.
Five minutes to six, Luke and Selina stood in front of a top apartment on the Upper East Side of Manhattan.
The annual rent for such a luxury apartment was more than 100,000 dollars, which was completely different from the apartments that ordinary people lived in.
To enter such an apartment, one either had to have a pass, or they had to personally confirm it before the doorman would let them in.
Luke told them Haley's apartment number, and the doorman only let them in after contacting Haley.
Luke took the elevator upstairs and rang the doorbell. The door soon opened, and Haley appeared at the door.
"We're not late, are we?" he said with a smile.
Haley said, "You're on time. Come on in."
Two people and one dog entered the apartment and showed the boxes in their hands. "Homemade desserts. Where do you put them?"
Looking at the big boxes in Luke's and Selina's hands, she asked in confusion, "Both of them?"
