What Walter said in the morning was that Sheriff Nelson asked them to serve as temporary security for a private banquet.
In fact, the two of them received formal invitations and were formally invited guests.
Now, not only can the two of them not imitate the secret agents in movies and TV dramas and wear waiter uniforms to conceal their identities, but they have to appear in formal suits like in spy movies.
Don’t even think about being searched at the door or offered wine to others when they go inside.
Selina didn't take this party seriously at first, but Luke reminded her, "This seems to be our first time attending such a formal private party. It seems like you can wear the dresses you bought, right?"
Hearing this, Selina's eyes lit up.
She had no particular preference for luxurious dinners, but was very interested in wearing formal gowns to attend formal banquets. After all, this was her first time.
After checking the invitation letter, the security guard let the two people into the villa. The two walked hand in hand, and the scenes they saw along the way were not unfamiliar.
As detectives, the two of them rarely come to such private villas to handle cases, but it does happen.
When I was a vigilante, it was common to watch various banquets. Today's one was considered a very serious one. At least there were no girls looking for their dads among them.
There were many young girls at the banquet, but they were all "ladies".
Luke and his friend looked down upon these "ladies of fame".
Because with the decline of American society, those young women who are dubbed "socialites" have changed their high demands on their own abilities and cultivation levels to whose family is richer, more famous and more prestigious.
As long as one has money, power and fame, he or she can be called a "socialite" even if his or her private videos are circulated all over the world.
For example, there were two groups of "ladies of fame" gathered in a group not far away. One of them was named Patricia Sister, who was such a "famous" lady.
Standing far away at the other end, pretending to be casual but essentially trying to stand out, is another person, Kimi Kadesson, who also recently had her private photos leaked, becoming a new generation of "famous" socialite.
However, there is no harmony between the new and old socialites at the moment. The two "sister groups" gathered together are more like two groups of Chihuahuas who are eyeing each other covetously and are ready to fight at any time.
There was no murderous intent between the two sides. In the mental communication, Luke only felt the strong contempt and jealousy between the two groups of women.
Luke and Selina simply hid in a corner, guarding the back kitchen passage, taking some drinks and food from the waiters who came out, and enjoying the first course treatment openly.
This behavior made the waiters look at them in surprise, but the two didn't care.
They didn't stand in the banquet center and eat in a disgusting manner. It was their personal freedom to hide in a corner and enjoy some high-end drinks and food.
Well, what surprised the waiters was not the way the two ate, but simply how much they ate.
They didn’t leave out any of the different types of food.
One of the waiters suggested that the two of them could go to the table and help themselves.
Luke showed his police badge and lowered his voice to tell the other party that this was a food safety inspection procedure temporarily added by the police.
After a while, the waiters would take the initiative to pass by them when serving dishes, with sympathy in their eyes. It was obvious that they had learned about the "secret mission" of the two from one of the waiters.
This is a buffet, so thirty or fifty dishes are the minimum.
Having to taste all these dishes is a task more painful than going hungry.
Luke and the other man felt no pressure at all.
The two of them have a tacit understanding of the division of labor. He specializes in savory dishes while she specializes in sweet dishes. Even if there are twice as many dishes as this, the two of them will only be 50% full at most if they share them appropriately.
Just as Luke and his friend were abusing their power for personal gain and feasting at the entrance, a glamorous young beauty walked into the banquet hall, and many people took turns to greet her.
This is how the big guys are treated.
The two groups of "socialites" mentioned earlier did not receive such treatment. Most of the people who had more interactions with them were the young second generation.
Those who greeted this young blonde beauty were either first-generation or second-generation people who held great power, and most of them were over 40 years old.
Selina ate her fruit cream pudding while nudging Luke's waist with her elbow: "Here comes your dream lover."
Luke was holding a piece of French salmon pie. Although his movements were gentle, the pie disappeared very quickly.
Hearing this, he looked over there and said, "Well, it's not a dream."
Selina: “…”
She wanted to say something, but the confidentiality agreement made her keep silent.
There is some connection between Ginny and Luke, and perhaps many people know about it, but those people basically belong to another circle.
For the sake of their leisure time, the personal relationship between a certain female president and the young detective is kept secret as much as possible.
But Selina soon discovered that Ginny's eyes swept over here several times, with a faint smile on her face and a nod.
The people surrounding her thought that the new mobile phone queen was just being polite to them.
But Selena knew that a certain female president was actually flirting with her from a distance.
She chuckled and nudged Luke with her elbow: "Do you think she wants to hit someone now?"
Luke curled his lips and said, "You underestimate her. Her father is a financier and her mother is a business owner. She enjoys dealing with this kind of situation as much as we enjoy eating delicious food."
Selina didn't believe it: "Impossible. How can getting together with a group of people and talking nonsense be compared to the enjoyment of eating delicious food?"
Luke: "Some billionaires like to go out in flip-flops and shorts. Don't you like that too?"
Selena: "If I were on the beach in Los Angeles, I could also enjoy going out in a bikini and flip flops."
Luke was speechless for a moment.
The two were chatting here, but they both knew in their hearts: Ginny was here only for Luke.
In fact, when Ginny was negotiating with Sheriff Nelson, she pretended to mention casually that Detective Luke Coulson once helped her avoid being harmed by a gangster.
She didn't say anything more, but Sheriff Nelson already understood.
If Ginny didn't care about Luke, there was no need for her to mention his name.
After mentioning this name, Nelson had to take care of Luke, and he had to do it naturally, not too directly.
This is a kind of tacit understanding.
How much to say and how to say it is also a silent request.
Well done, it proves that Sheriff Nelson is worth his time.
If you don't do well, it means you are too stupid and you will be kicked out sooner or later. No matter how much you say, it will all be nonsense.
Sheriff Nelson was also a wonderful man. He simply used the name of official business to allow Luke and the other two to attend the banquet in a private capacity.
Apart from asking for two more invitations, he didn't have to pay anything, which is a typical example of getting something for nothing.
However, the relationship between Ginny and Luke is very different from what the Sheriff imagined.
After exchanging greetings with Ginny, Sheriff Nelson was keeping a close eye on the two of them, but he didn't notice anything.
