Bang! Boom!
Luke placed a box of milk and a bottle of pure juice on the table: "Your milk is for calcium supplement. Sonya's juice is for beauty."
Alexandria: …
Sonya casually took the juice, opened it and took a sip, then whispered, "We just went into the bowling alley to check the situation and ran into Luca Barton. We almost had a conflict with him."
Luke simply signaled with his eyes to continue, without stopping to drink his drink.
Sonya: "This guy was in the bowling alley and was nearly killed by a body that fell through the skylight. When he saw us, he interrogated us like we were criminals. His temper was not like that of a "civilized" law enforcement officer who hadn't had a complaint for two years."
Luke smiled: The mask that is usually set up to fool the outside world will collapse uncontrollably when encountering major events. This situation is called character collapse.
"Also, after checking the black suits that fell from the sky, Law Enforcement Officer Barton's expression... seemed very ugly." Sonya added.
Luke nodded calmly: "What else?"
Sonya shrugged. "And then this guy kicked us out."
Luke was not surprised.
That was originally the territory of the county police and the location of the fundraiser for the county police boys' home.
There were at least dozens of county police officers in the bowling alley, and there was no way Sonya and Alexandria, one a woman and the other physically weak, would get away with anything.
After Sonya finished speaking, she looked at Luke and said, “After this incident, I’m afraid Luca Barton won’t be in the mood to deal with us.”
Luke nodded: "Then let's put this case aside for now. Do you have any other cases on hand?"
Sonya shook her head. "They're just minor cases."
She also wanted to work on a few more cases with Luke. This man had a reputation in the serious crime squad for not being greedy for credit, and he was also a top-notch fighter. No one would dislike working on cases with such a colleague.
Luke hummed, "Have you seen the case of the pajama girl who was hit and killed by a sports car?"
Sonya shook her head.
Luke signaled to Selina, and she found the file and gave it to Sonya.
He said: "Take it and have a look first, do some relevant investigation, and remember not to alarm the family."
Sonya: "Which family?"
"The Esworth family," Luke replied.
Sonya paused as she flipped through the files: "Them again?"
Luke nodded, but muttered in his heart: Don't be afraid. Councilman Henry is already dead, and it depends on when the obituary will be published.
But for now, he is the only one in the police station who knows the news.
Looking at the time, Luke invited Sonya and Elizabeth, who had just returned, to have lunch together.
After finishing lunch early, they returned just in time for lunch when their colleagues in the bureau were getting off work. Luke and Selina went to Elsa's office openly, carrying their lunch boxes.
Alexandria sighed from his seat, "Ah, the rich man."
Sonya was re-applying makeup at the table. She smiled when she heard him say, "He doesn't smoke, drink, or go to bars. He doesn't play games or play with women. He concentrates on his work and works out when he gets home. If you envy Luke for his good health and wealth, why not learn from his lifestyle? I think that will make you stronger and save you $20,000 to $30,000 a year on entertainment expenses."
Alexander looked up at the sky in silence: Is that how people live? Besides, how do you know that they don't do other things they like to do when they go home? Besides, even though he drinks, smokes, hangs out in bars and flirts with girls, he is still a good policeman. Why should he change
Sonya had never investigated Luke; her impressions came from daily interactions.
Therefore, she obviously guessed a lot of things wrong.
For example, Luke has so many hobbies that he is very busy after get off work.
Make equipment, familiarize yourself with and train various abilities, practice shooting and close combat, and look for Ginny and Ximena every now and then to relieve the negative emotions brought about by doing private work.
He has always been a busy man.
Not knowing that his colleagues would call him an ascetic behind his back, Luke walked into the office and handed the packed lunch to Elsa: "Boss, this is your lunch."
Elsa hummed, then looked up after a moment: "What's the matter?"
Luke gestured to Selina's side: "That's for Dustin."
Elsa threw down her pen: "Are you really okay?"
Luke looked calm and said, "No. I'm inviting Sonya and Lisa to lunch. Shouldn't I bring some for you and the boss?"
Elsa looked at him suspiciously for a moment, then stood up and said, "Put my share in the drawer." Then she walked to Selina, took Dustin's lunch, and brought warmth to the lonely middle-aged woman.
Selina turned her head to look at Elsa who walked around the hall and came to Dustin's office in the opposite corner. She lowered her voice and asked, "Did you really ask her to deliver lunch?"
Luke chuckled: "I don't know, let's wait and see, takeout orders can't be returned anyway."
The two of them waited for more than half an hour before Elsa came out of Dustin's office with a puzzled look on her face.
With Luke's eyesight, he could easily see what was happening when Elsa and Dustin were talking.
Just from the expressions of the two people, he knew that they must have talked about something important.
Elsa came back and immediately closed the door: "You know?"
Luke was confused: "Huh?"
Elsa stared at him for a moment, then sat back down on the chair: "Okay, stop pretending in front of me..."
Luke still looked at her innocently.
Elsa had no choice but to give up: "Okay, let's get down to business. Henry Elsworth is missing. It is said that there was a plane crash. Now the Coast Guard is looking for the site of the plane crash."
Luke was surprised: "Is there such a thing?"
Elsa: "...Yes. However, it is still unknown what happened to Councilman Henry. And he is not the only one in the Esworth family. Don't act rashly."
Luke nodded seriously.
Elsa felt that something was wrong with him, and couldn't help but emphasize it again: "I'm serious, don't do anything rash, understand? Old Elsworth is not dead yet, and Henry is just a fool compared to him."
This time, Luke and Selina nodded together: "Understood, Boss."
Elsa was speechless for a moment, then waved her hand: "Okay, you can go away. If you have time, check out this case." She threw a file over.
Luke caught it, stood up and walked away: "Okay, boss. No problem, boss."
After the two left, Elsa frowned and murmured in a low voice: "I always feel that this guy is up to something. Am I too sensitive?"
After a moment, she gave up pursuing the matter.
Luke's work attitude is impeccable. He always does things in a measured way and has never made any big mess that cannot be fixed. This is one of the reasons why he is deeply trusted by Elsa and Dustin.
If a detective like John McClane in New York equates the ability to solve cases with the ability to get out of trouble, that would be a concern for his superiors.
