Chapter 105 Back-to-Back Encounters

The reward for this mission wasnt much.

Luke speculated that it was probably because he hadnt apprehended Sergei.

If he had caught the criminal, he shouldve gotten more than 100 experience points.

Since the man had already run away, however, Luke decided to take a break.

He had been busy the whole day walking around and then watching video footage.

He was pretty exhausted.

But it had definitely been worth it.

At the very least, Elsa and Dustin took him more seriously now.

Not everybody could crack a case in a single day.

Luke did have some skills despite the fact that he had been transferred through connections.

He wasnt as useless as they thought.

By the time he returned home, it was already past eight, and night had fallen.

Selina was watching TV in the living room.

She sat up when she saw Luke.

“Hey, youre back! So tell me, how does it feel to work a case in Beverly Hills”

Luke replied helplessly, “I havent taken a shower or eaten yet.

Im dizzy after walking for half a day and watching video footage for hours…”

Selina quickly cajoled him.

“I bought sandwiches and Dr.

Pepper for you.

Youll be energized after you have them.”

Luke said insincerely, “I cant thank you enough.

Ill take a shower first.”

Fresh out of the shower a few minutes later, Luke sat down on the couch and had the sandwich which Selina had heated up in the microwave.

He had been too busy working the case to eat today, and was already starving.

Selina knew better than to talk to him right now.

She even turned down the volume on the TV.

Luke finished the sandwich in a couple of minutes and had a mouthful of Dr.

Pepper.

He burped in satisfaction.

“Alright, what do you want to know”

Selina asked, “Is it beautiful Are the manors swanky Do they all have hundreds of maids and servants Right, do they all have a white-haired butler who sayscan I help you, sir the moment you enter”

Luke didnt know what to say.

“Youre talking about the movies.

The house I went to only had two caretakers and one security guard.

Its only roughly the size of Roberts house, although its better decorated.”

Selina remarked disappointedly, “So the movies lied”

Luke chuckled.

“Did you think they were all real Well, the house I went to wasnt as extravagant, at least.”

Selina snorted.

“I thought that everybody in Beverly Hills is rich.”

Luke said, “They are.

The house I visited today is worth two million at least, not counting the decor and furniture.

She definitely isnt poor.”

Selina asked, “Huh Is she beautiful”

Luke answered, “Yes.

Shes not bad-looking naked.”

Selina was surprised.

“She met you naked”

Luke nodded and said, “Yep.

She even showed us her butt.”

Selina wasnt convinced.

“Are you joking”

Luke said, “Not really.

When we arrived, her body was floating in her pool, naked.”

Selinas eyes bulged.

“So… unbelievable Come on, tell me everything about this case.”

Luke nodded at the TV and said, “Its on the news.”

Selina turned around, only to see pixels floating in a pool next to a familiar face.

After a brief daze, she turned up the volume and exclaimed, “Katie Winterster You saw her body”

Luke nodded lazily.

Thanks to the TV, he didnt have to keep talking.

He pondered how to find the dealers who had sold the weed to Jenny, and how he could loot them.

Selina asked him again, “Did you find the murderer”

Luke nodded and said, “Keep it to yourself.

Its confidential for now, because the murderer ran away.”

Selina was amazed after hearing what Luke had to say.

“You just got here and youve already solved such a big case.

Your partner wont dare underestimate you now, right”

Luke looked at her and said, “What about you How was your first day at work”

Selina sniffed and said, “Its okay.

Im a gorgeous lady, after all.

But I think Donald treats me like a little kid.”

Luke shrugged and said, “Youre still young, after all.

When I see Elsa, I can feel a generation gap.”

Selina burst into laughter and kicked him.

“Shes already 32.

Of course theres a generation gap.”

Ignoring the violence, Luke asked again, “How do you feel about your partner Hes not hard to get along with, is he”.

Selina thought for a moment, then shook her head.

“No, I dont think so.

However, I do feel that hes too slow.”

Luke frowned.

“Huh”

Selina said in a low voice, “I dont think hes as smart as you are.

He was still asking questions when even I had noticed something wrong.”

Luke asked, “What was your case”

Selina said, “The death of a gangster.

I knew from the suspects face that he was guilty, but Donald still asked questions for a long time.”

Luke looked at her and asked, “You didnt interject, did you”

Selina shook her head.

“Why would I You told me to say and do less, and watch and listen more, so I kept silent.”

Luke nodded and said, “I dont think Donald was wrong.

He might have known that the suspect was guilty, but there was no reason for him to show it.

Its possible that he wanted to make sure first.

According to Elsa, Donald is most famous in the Major Crimes Division for how reliable he is.

You better not try to outsmart him.

Lets just get used to the environment here and the way they work first.”

Selina wasnt silly, but she wasnt wise in the ways of the world, either.

It was possible that someone might set her up if she stood out too much.

To Donald, she was a new partner.

Luke didnt think that Donald would help her unconditionally just because she was pretty.

Luke, on the other hand, had proven his abilities today and hadnt competed with Elsa for credit.

That was how he had made his partner happy.

Dustin had to know something, too, or his attitude toward Luke wouldnt have changed.

Still, Elsa would be considered as having made the greater contribution to the case after it was solved.

Luke was only a newcomer, after all.

He had confidence as well as the system, so he wasnt upset about how unfair it was.

If Selina were in his place, however, she might argue with her superiors.

Luke talked to Selina a while longer about how important it was to keep a low profile, before they returned to their respective rooms and went to bed.
