Luke also looked up some information about the Las Vegas Forensics Center, and it was quite interesting to look at some of Old G's information.
If he wanted to go there, he had to visit this uncle.
There should be gifts too.
Don't just give expensive gifts. It's better to give some interesting gadgets, the kind that money can't buy.
After all, Lao G really doesn't lack money.
As one of the top technical experts in the country, if you ask him to do some commercial appraisal without any connections, the price must be in tens of thousands of US dollars.
Lao G’s annual salary is more than 100,000 yuan, so he is definitely not short of money. His real hobby is insects.
But Luke was not an expert with insects, so he had to give up.
Just like that, Luke checked the information, browsed the barbecue, and checked the gossip news, and it was not until 8:30 that Selina came back.
"Why are you so late? Is it like this lately?" Luke asked.
Selina looked tired, but still very happy: "Oh, let's talk about that later, I went to the supermarket and bought everything you wanted."
Luke said helplessly, "If you had said you were so busy earlier, I would have gone to buy it myself. I'll be back after 4pm. I can't prepare too many delicious dishes tonight. Now that we have the staple food, how about I make you a fruit salad?"
Selina was not dissatisfied at all. She happily reached out to lift the lid of the oven, but Luke slapped her hand and said, "Wash your hands. We'll eat right away."
Selina immediately rushed back into the house.
When she came out after washing her hands, Luke had already taken out a plate with a lot of sliced meat on it.
The meat is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, with a rich meaty aroma, making it a favorite among meat eaters.
One plate contained meat, while the other contained various grilled vegetables.
Luke was from Sichuan in his previous life, and the street barbecues there always grilled everything.
Not to mention chicken, duck, fish and meat, various internal organs are not uncommon either.
But other vegetables such as leeks, cauliflower, fungus, bok choy, coriander, winter melon, cucumber, tofu skin, eggplant, beans, cauliflower, lotus root slices, potatoes, radish, etc. can all be roasted.
Of course, Luke didn’t make so many varieties, he just made broccoli, potatoes, and eggplant.
The eggplant is prepared separately, cut in half, and then topped with garlic, onion, green and red peppers, and roasted until fragrant.
This is certainly not authentic. The authentic one should use chili peppers and chili peppers. To be more authentic, you should also add green wild pepper. This will ensure that one eggplant can be eaten with two bowls of rice.
But that practice is too cruel, and only the people of Sichuan and Hunan who can eat spicy food can bear it.
So he used something non-spicy as a side dish, otherwise Selena's butt would be burning all day tomorrow.
Selina was indeed a big foodie. She didn't dislike any kind of food at all. Instead, she ate it with a smile on her face: "Honey, the food made this way is really delicious. How about we eat it three times a week from now on?"
Luke: "If you're not afraid of covering your butt every day to go to work, I can do that for you."
Selina was surprised: "Huh? Why?"
Luke: “If you eat too many vegetables roasted like this, it’s like eating too many jalapenos.”
Selena immediately got scared.
Her parents are Mexican and her family prefers Mexican food, but she grew up in the United States and can't eat spicy food like a real Mexican.
Among the peppers grown in large quantities in Mexico, there are two types that rank among the top ten terrible peppers in the world.
She didn't want to try that taste because her butt would really swell and going to the toilet would feel like being scratched by glass shards.
After the two of them enjoyed a barbecue dinner, Luke packed up the various tools, grills, and tableware, while Selena took a break before washing the dishes.
But it was already past nine o'clock at night, and Luke couldn't let her lie like that in the backyard for half an hour, so he could only half-drag and half-hug her to the sofa in the living room.
After Selina went in, Luke made her a pot of hot cocoa. Anyway, this guy can't gain weight.
A certain foodie was so comfortable that he squinted his eyes.
Luke asked, "How are you doing lately? Are you busy?"
Selina hummed lazily: "A little bit, Donald left a lot of things to me."
Luke: “Like?”
Selina: "It's also my job to review files, analyze intelligence, and write reports afterwards, so I often have to work overtime."
Luke was not surprised, this was the normal treatment for newcomers.
He is so awesome only at the cost of giving up all the credit, and Selena can't learn from him.
He thought for a moment: "Can I learn something?"
Selina: "Rub my belly to help digestion, and I'll tell you."
Luke was speechless: "Then why were you fighting with me for food just now?"
However, he did not refuse the request. Selena was just being coquettish.
He was away on a business trip for more than ten days, and she was alone here, with no friends, no relatives, only work.
My boss is a middle-aged black man and we have absolutely nothing in common. It would be strange if I wasn't depressed.
Lifting up the guy's thin sweater, he reached out and massaged her slightly bulging belly slowly and gently before continuing, "You can tell me now."
Selina let out a comfortable breath: "Well, I think I can still learn a lot. At least when I work with you again in the future, I will be very skilled in doing these things. It's just..."
Luke: “Just what?”
Selina thought for a moment and shook her head, "Donald's case handling skills are average. I'm pretty familiar with his methods. He rarely makes mistakes, but it takes a lot of time."
Luke nodded. "That's not a bad thing. If Elsa guides you, you might improve quickly, but you'll have to learn a lot of details by yourself. Donald handles cases more slowly, but the advantage is that you can keep up with his speed, so the cost-effectiveness is very good."
Selina nodded and shook her head: "He and I have been investigating the case for a week now, and I don't think there will be any results. The case will be dropped in two days at most."
Luke was curious: "What case?"
"A case involving the death of a college girl." Selina said, "There is no evidence to suggest that it was a homicide. Instead, it seems like an accident where she took an overdose of illegal drugs. But I always feel that the case is not that simple."
Luke: "Where's the case?"
Selina: "The person died in an apartment near us, but she was from USC. Moreover, she was not a tenant there. The tenant was a woman who has disappeared."
As soon as Luke heard this, he knew that this would almost certainly be another unsolved cold case.
One of the people involved in the case is dead and the other is missing. The deceased died of an overdose of banned drugs. If there is no more accurate information, the file will soon be labeled as an accident and thrown into the archives to collect dust.
This is because Donald has always been slow in handling cases. If it were Elsa and him, it would take at least three days, and at most five days, and they would give up if there were no clues.
There are so many cases like this that it is impossible to investigate them all.
He could only shake his head: "That's all we can do. For cases like this, try your best to investigate. If you really can't find any clues, just save yourself the trouble."
