The hot spring was very secluded at night, and the separate hot spring where Luke and his companions were was located in a prominent corner, overlooking the small valley.
There was the sound of gurgling water in a creek not far away, and the hot spring brought out bursts of white mist that rose up and met with the falling snow foam in the sky.
Except for the streamside, the rest of the place is covered with large areas of silver, with yellow and black spots and dark green plant leaves interspersed among them, which is quite wild.
Luke placed his hands on the edge of the pool, looked up at the deep snowy night, his mind was empty, and he did not move for a long time.
After a long while, he lowered his head and looked at the two guys who were eating in a sneaky manner next to him: "What are you doing?"
Selina exhaled sharply and rolled her eyes. "Looking at the way you were just now, it seems that you were meditating as Big Gray (the code name for the big rat Splinter) said. This state is good for calming the mind. Aren't we afraid of disturbing you?"
There are also dog heads on the side of the gold nugget, indicating that it is really difficult to eat without making any noise.
Luke laughed in silence, feeling a lot more relaxed, and nodded to accept the thoughtfulness: "It does work, you can try it if you have the chance."
Selina and Doghead looked at each other. What are you trying? Just follow Splinter's instructions and slow down your breathing, empty your mind, and then you can... Fall asleep
She and Doghead tried it several times and got the same result. The efficiency of falling asleep was second only to reading Luke's technical information.
Luke wanted to say something else when his cell phone suddenly rang quietly.
He picked it up and looked at it, his mouth dropped open: "? WTH!"
Selina was surprised: "Why, is there an emergency?"
Luke was interrupted by her question and was shocked. He opened his mouth twice and handed the phone to her: "Look for yourself."
Selina grabbed it and took a look: "? WTF!"
The dog head couldn't help but lean over to take a look. The half piece of grilled eel in the dog's mouth fell to the ground with a plop: "Ouch?"
After Selina was shocked, she couldn't help but blink hard and read the text message again to make sure she was not dazzled: "How... did they get together?"
Luke coughed and said, "He is my cheap uncle after all, and we are all companions, so it is better not to use the word 'fuck'."
Selina spread her hands, puffed out her chest, and looked like she had a clear conscience: "These two are both adults with children, well, at least they have children. Isn't it normal for them to be faster?"
Luke was speechless.
In a sense, she was right.
Adult love can be complicated, but it can also be simple.
These two? It's definitely not that simple, but it's not necessarily complicated either.
Selina rolled her eyes and said, "How about we sneak over and take a look?"
Luke rejected it with a look of rejection: "Too familiar... Isn't this a bad idea?"
Selina's feet immediately twisted on his thighs: "Put away your damn expression! Don't you just want me to "convince" you and then you agree reluctantly? Tell me, do you agree or not?"
Luke laughed and raised his hands: "OK, let's talk about it when they come tomorrow."
Selina snorted with a squint: Someone's "later" has always been very mysterious, but she can easily tell whether it is tacit approval or rejection.
This time it is of course tacit approval, but it doesn't mean it should go too far.
After all, the rule Luke set in the first place was to respect the privacy of his teammates.
But this time, Luke and his companions came to Neon first, and then the other party chose this place.
This kind of coincidence, accidentally "watching" a teammate's travel, is naturally not considered as prying into the teammate's privacy.
Suddenly, the phone in Selina's hand rang again. She subconsciously looked at it and exclaimed, "Someone comes here in the middle of the night? Hmm, there seems to be something wrong with this guy."
As she spoke, she gently pushed herself up with one hand, floated to Luke's side, and handed him the phone.
Luke took it and saw on the drone surveillance screen that a person was walking in from the small road at the entrance of the hot spring with slightly slow steps.
The visitor was an Asian male who looked to be in his thirties, wearing an ordinary thick jacket and jeans.
There is a hot spring area nearby, and Sapporo is also a neon tourist destination.
There is nothing obvious about his dress, so he may not be Japanese. He could be a tourist from other Asian countries.
However, there seemed to be some dark spots on his clothes. Although they were only scattered in a few places, an old detective like Selina only took a glance and realized that they looked like blood stains.
Selina was eager to try: "Go and catch him?"
Luke thought about it, but shook his head: "Not for now, there's no one else here anyway, let's wait until we've had enough."
Selina thought about it and immediately lay back down on the stone platform.
This separate small hot spring pool is more than a hundred meters away from the building and is separated by several hillsides and woods. The person entering the hotel building will not be able to discover them.
And when Luke said there was no one else here, it was to remind her that even if this was a murderer, there were no new victims to kill.
Run away? Isn't there a four-legged creature with a very good nose here
So, Luke and his two companions and the dog continued to eat and drink leisurely, enjoying the rare hot spring bath on a snowy night.
For them, once they enjoy something, they are unlikely to spend time on it a second time.
Because there are so many places to play in this world that rich people (dogs) can’t play in them all.
More than an hour later, when all the food and drinks were consumed, the two finally got up from the hot spring and began to pack up and prepare to leave, but their cell phones, which were set to vibrate, received another message.
Luke opened it casually and was a little surprised.
In the camping tent, Selina had already dried herself and put on her nano armor. Seeing this, she poked her head out and asked, "What's the matter again?"
Luke nodded: "Someone else came in, two cars with four people, three men and one woman."
Selina quickened her pace and put on a T-shirt and jeans, saying, "In the middle of the night, one woman and three men, Japanese people really know how to have fun."
Luke also quickened his pace and threw all the wine bottles and tableware into the food box: "There's more interesting news, do you want to hear it?"
Selina came out and put her feet into the nano boots, her eyes sparkling: "That woman, is she the big dick cute girl you always talk about?"
Luke suddenly felt that he shouldn't impart so much strange knowledge to her.
With a light cough, he closed the lid of the food box and threw the thick jacket to her: "Probably not, but a cute girl... I guess she's a little bit related, after all, she's a JK."
Selina took the jacket, a little confused: "Jack?"
Luke: "J and K, neon internet slang, romanized initials for women and high school students."
Selina was stunned: "Isn't that the same as the middle school students over there?"
Luke looked at her strangely: "You forgot that those young women standing on the roadside in school uniforms at night..."
When Selina heard this, she immediately lost interest: "So it's a service business that provides fun costume changes."
Although she has never been in charge of a case of this scope during her years as a detective, there are indeed many people working in this service industry in Los Angeles and New York.
There is nothing new about doing non-mainstream things for money.
As long as you are willing to pay the service fee, not only can female employees wear school uniforms, but even male employees can wear girls' school uniforms.
Money is God, this is the truth of capitalism.
