At this moment, the door opened again quietly.
They looked over and saw Selina standing at the door with a smile. She handed them a medium-sized bag and said, "Enjoy the show."
Luke accepted the bag with a smile and made an OK gesture.
Hsu-Hsu-Hsu-Hsu-Hsu-Hsu-Hsu-Hsu-Hsu-Còm
The door quietly closed again.
Beckett didn't say anything. She just watched the pair communicate in silence.
She was quite curious about her partner, who was transferred in a year later than her.
As the most good-looking person in the Detective Bureau, it was almost inevitable that he would be curious about the two contestants of the same level who had suddenly been transferred over.
Some time ago, some rumors about Luke had been circulating.
Beckett was even more curious about these two.
At first, she thought that they were only equally matched in terms of appearance. She was still very confident in her ability to handle cases.
She couldn't say that she was better than John and Joe, but she had her own specialties.
But if the rumor was partially true, her ability to handle cases would become her weakness.
She was not jealous of that.
John and Joe were also detectives with strong "hands-on" abilities. She knew she wasn't as good at that, so she didn't want to compare herself to them.
Thus, she wouldn't compete with Luke and Selina in terms of "physical strength."
Luke's senses were very sharp. Sensing her attention, he simply unzipped his bag and took out a lollipop. He unwrapped it and put it in his mouth.
Beckett: … What kind of operation is this?
Luke didn't look at her. He simply reached into his bag and said, "What do you like? Pick one."
Beckett looked at the thing in his hand and couldn't help but be even more stunned.
Lollipops, chewing gums, chocolates, and small cakes appeared in his palm in a fan-shaped formation, like a magician performing magic tricks.
After a moment of hesitation, she chose chocolate.
Relatively speaking, chocolate was packaged in a small ball, and it was the one she liked the most.
She carefully pulled off the gold foil wrapper and whispered, "Do you like to eat snacks?"
What she actually wanted to ask was, "How much do you like snacks?" It wasn't common for people to carry a bag of snacks with them in the police department.
Luke said, "It's very taxing. Let's replenish our strength first and prepare for a protracted battle. Well, if you can't wait, you can ask one of them to stay behind. "
"I'd better wait here." Beckett hesitated before stuffing the chocolate in her hand into her mouth and shaking her head slightly.
Luke didn't say anything else, and simply enjoyed his lollipop in silence.
With the combination of normal basic abilities and extraordinary abilities, as well as 40 Mental Strength, he could easily sense Beckett's emotions.
The other party did not hate him, nor did they suspect him. Staying was a matter of personal choice.
Of course, this beauty was not interested in him.
He was not the male lead. Beautiful women would not cry and cling to him as soon as they saw him.
Well, he often enjoyed the treatment of beauties taking the initiative, but most of the time, they would approach him with a smile instead of crying and pouncing on him.
That was something that only fans would do when they saw their idols, and he had never taken the path of an idol.
The family of three's stamina reserves slightly exceeded his expectations. They quarreled for twenty-six minutes before the first long pause.
During this time, Luke had already eaten a lollipop, three chocolates, and a cake.
Beckett had unknowingly eaten a piece of chocolate and was now eating a small cake.
She didn't know why Luke had asked her if she wanted to eat it, but she had accepted it twice.
Maybe it was because he was enjoying it? Or was it because she couldn't help but have the urge to eat snacks while watching the movie when the family was arguing? She wasn't too sure.
When she was halfway through the cake, it was time for the family to pause.
Seeing the two people standing at the door, Jeffrey frowned. "Officer, is this how you work cases?"
He had already seen the cake in Beckett's hand, which made him feel like he was being watched by Lady White … No, he was being watched.
These two detectives didn't want to work anymore since they dared to openly watch his family make a fool of themselves!
Luke stepped forward and shielded Beckett behind him. He took out three unopened bottles of mineral water from his bag and put them on the table. "Drink some water first, Mr. Soderberg. Your throat is a little hoarse. Ladies, drink some water and take a break. "
Jeffrey frowned and looked at the bottles of mineral water. He couldn't bring himself to say anything sarcastic.
The price of Fiji wasn't sky-high. After all, the bottle wasn't made of pure gold, and the cap wasn't embedded with diamonds.
But in terms of price, taste, or even customer base, it couldn't be used as a target for mockery.
His wife, however, couldn't care less. She grabbed a bottle of Fiji and gulped down half of it.
The reason for the pause in the argument was that her throat was smoking. She couldn't help but cough uncontrollably just now, and couldn't continue arguing.
Now that she had water, she couldn't care less what Luke had been doing. In any case, she hadn't been paying attention.
Her daughter, Lindsay, on the other hand, relied on her young body to fight two people at once.
However, as her mother drank the water, she couldn't help but grab the water and drink it too.
Jeffree couldn't hold it in any longer after seeing the mother and daughter's actions.
He was in his fifties. Even if he wasn't the main force of the argument, he couldn't take it anymore.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the interrogation room finally cooled down.
Luke took out two bottles of water and tossed one to Beckett, who was at the door. He took the other and unhurriedly opened it and took a sip.
Seeing that the family had moistened their throats, Luke didn't have any intention of continuing. He slowly twisted the cap and played with the mineral water in his hands. "Now, everyone should calm down a little. Let's talk about how to resolve this matter."
The family of three stared at him in surprise.
It wasn't the first time they had quarreled at the police department recently. They had quarreled even more often in front of the police, and few police officers dared to interject.
Luke was just trying to make a Hail Mary effort.
This family was a typical family dispute, and most of the family disputes were centered around the wheel.
For example, a question like "Why do I have to put up with you xxx?" would basically get the same answer as "Then why do I have to put up with you xxx?"
This kind of conversation was just like the famous "You're cold, you're heartless, and you're unreasonable." In his previous life, there would never be an outcome.
The length of the argument didn't depend on whether the problem was resolved, but on when both parties ran out of stamina.
When they ran out of stamina, the quarreling parties could go home and continue to conserve their energy, waiting for the next outbreak. One day, when there was no need to even argue, it would be completely over.
The problem was that the Soderbergs were rich and powerful in New York.
Of course, this was mainly aimed at NYPD, not this family.
