In the past, Luke had no intention of targeting the Advanced Joint Research Group because there were too many alternative targets in his little black notebook, and he could never clean them all up even if he died of exhaustion.
But since the other party chose to start it, it is his decision on how to end it.
Luke has always felt that being a superhero and a supervillain is actually pretty much like being in love and getting married.
If they don't know each other, then they are parallel lines, and it doesn't matter who is better or who is a loser.
Once one party is interested, it will be a test and an attack.
During the entanglement, once the two parties confirm with their eyes that they are opponents, that epic and touching relationship of love and hate is officially established.
If anyone wants to end the relationship in the future, it is not something he can decide.
The other party may just not give up and will stick with you no matter what.
Luke never pesters women. He had several girlfriends in his previous life, but they broke up in the end because they were not suitable for each other, and he never pestered them again.
But the enemies in this life are all experience points.
For the sake of the system, he had no choice but to fight to the death.
This can be understood as the division of property during divorce.
Luke can't do what his American "ex-wife" can do, so that idea must be unreasonable.
When Luke went to the police station the next day, he just wanted to go through the motions.
Just yesterday he expressed his attitude of not getting involved and that he must keep his word and leave the work and credit to others.
As a result, he was blocked by Walter.
Walter knew he couldn't win the argument, so he went straight to the point and threw a file over: "Batman and his men sent another group of people to the hospital last night, and I have no one to work with. This case may take a lot of time, so I can only hand it over to you. Any problem?"
Luke: “…No problem.”
It was obvious that Walter was going to cheat, and it was useless for him to refuse.
There was no detective to be seen outside except for the busy clerks. They all went to the hospital, and Luke had no way to refuse.
However, he was also somewhat interested in the case that Walter threw directly to him.
In life, we must always keep things fresh to improve the quality of life.
Occasionally handling a difficult case would also ensure his and Selina's reputation as "smart detectives".
With the file in hand, Luke and Selina went to the desk.
Luke opened it and took a look, he was speechless: What the hell... It seems like I can barely blame it on myself
Because the case was triggered by him and Selena beating someone up last night.
But the reason was not that they beat up the wrong person, but that a backbone of the gang was suddenly interrogated by the two shameless old men John and Joe.
The unfortunate guy had all his limbs broken, but John and the others kept him out of the emergency rescue list.
The two old bitches were still making sarcastic remarks, saying that if limbs were broken for too long they would become necrotic, and that they could be amputated in half a day at most, and that the men would have to wait for others to serve them for the rest of their lives.
The guy was frightened by his fate of being turned into a human stick, and he cried and shouted and confessed a lot of things.
It's very common for gang members to sell drugs and weapons, so they are always asked last. John and the others are most concerned about the homicide case.
After the man finished his confession, John and his partner went overnight to investigate a clue that might involve the theft and sale of human organs.
But after searching, they found nothing.
The two men rushed back and dragged the guy who provided the information away from the door of the medical room, threatening again to turn him into a human stick.
But this time the guy cried and confessed, and what he said was the same as before.
Veterans like John and Joe can basically be sure that this person is not lying.
So there may really be a major case of stealing and selling human organs, but clues are hard to find.
Given the current situation of the Detective Bureau, Walter simply didn't have the time to let them investigate slowly.
John and the others didn't want to give up, so Walter said to hand the case over to Luke and the others.
John and the other man hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed.
Firstly, they were embarrassed to compete with Luke and the other two for the case.
Secondly, Walter wanted John and the other man to take this opportunity to accumulate more merits so that it would be easier to report them for promotion.
This suspected major case would probably be a waste of time, so it was better to leave it to Luke and the other two who were capable but didn’t want to be too diligent.
After scanning the information, Luke handed the file to Selina.
Although she can already see the projection on her sunglasses, Selena has a little habit. She prefers to flip through paper documents and use Xiaowo as a supplementary reminder. It is said that she is more inspired this way.
After watching for a while, she frowned. "Why does this sound a bit like the nonsense of drug addicts? There is a man-eating monster in the sewer, and the body thrown in was gone the next day. Did that guy watch too many horror movies?"
Luke drummed his fingers on the table. “John and the others think there’s something wrong, so it’s unlikely to be pure fantasy.”
Selena thought so too.
Experienced police officers like John and Joe have a sixth sense even without any evidence.
Even if they're not sure what happened, their instincts tell them something is wrong.
This is also the reason why this case was handed over to these two people.
Luke stood up and said, "Let's go and take a look."
Selina stood up and said with a chuckle, "Drilling into the sewer, someone is very familiar with this job."
Luke rolled his eyes, went to the parking lot and drove off.
After crossing the Brooklyn Bridge, drive along Seaside Boulevard toward the southwest corner of Brooklyn.
The June sea breeze blew in from the open car window as the two men discussed the case in a casual manner.
Passing by the beach not far from the crime scene, Selina looked at the people who came to have fun early in the morning. Then she looked at the sky which was obviously sunny again. She couldn't help but feel envious: "Sunbathing!"
Luke: "If the case is not complicated, we can stop by for lunch later. You can choose a good place and come back to sunbathe tomorrow."
Selina was satisfied: "Okay, I can comfort myself when I go into the sewer later. I will make up for it tomorrow."
Luke smiled and said nothing more.
When he and Selena went out at night, they usually went in and out through the sewers.
No matter how good a sewer is, it is still a sewer. The smell will not stop smelling just because the sewers in New York are wider. Rats, sewage, sludge and moss are unavoidable.
Fortunately, Selena is not a squeamish person, but after drilling too much, she will inevitably prefer sunbathing. Unfortunately, there is not much good weather in New York - compared to Los Angeles on the west coast with more than 200 days of sunshine a year, the so-called good weather in New York on the east coast is just a little bit better.
It was only because Luke was used to this kind of rainy or cloudy environment in his previous life, otherwise he would not be as comfortable as Celina.
After crossing the beach, we reached our destination.
This is the edge of a middle-class community... not far away is the seaside avenue with a lot of traffic.
Those gangsters would drive here at night, dump the bodies and leave without attracting much attention.
The police station is extremely busy today. This place has not yet been officially listed as a crime scene and there is no yellow cordon tape.
Luke and the other man got out of the car and walked towards the destination slowly, just like the residents here.
As they walked, the two of them also observed the surrounding situation.
