Luke specifically called the patrol police and asked them to check the situation of this "robber". If what he said was true, they would take him back to make a statement and then release him.
After all, the "robber's" behavior was at most a prank and not something that warranted a major fight.
After completing the inquiries at the bank, it was already eleven o'clock, so the two decided to call it a day and go for lunch.
After packing lunch for Elsa, they both slipped back home.
These days, Luke and his friend actually had a day off.
There are no big cases, so just follow up on the small cases casually. Elsa won’t come to check on them anyway.
On the way home, I passed through the community where I lived.
Suddenly, two cars stopped next to a house with a sign saying "For Sale" on the side of the road, and a man and a woman got out of the two cars.
The young woman trotted a few steps and threw herself into the man's arms.
Luke whistled: "Wow, there's a beautiful girl coming to our community."
Selina looked sideways, a little envious: "Such long legs, so beautiful."
At this moment, the young woman in the white knee-length dress was picked up by the man and turned half a circle, so that Luke and the other man could just see that pair of breathtakingly long legs.
It is built straight with almost perfect lines.
Selena is 1.77 meters tall, which is definitely not short among women. She also has an extremely fit body with smooth muscle lines. If she takes a few photos and posts them online, she will definitely make a bunch of otakus stare at the screen and lick their faces for the rest of their lives.
However, in terms of the beauty of her legs, she still cannot compare to the woman in the white dress.
Even if most women have good legs, their calves are rarely slender.
For women with the same leg length, those with longer calves will look taller.
Selina finished sighing and suddenly seemed to remember something: "This one... seems to be the troublesome one?"
Luke glanced at the room, but wasn't impressed.
At home, he is the boss.
Apart from his hobbies of cooking and making desserts, all other chores such as cleaning and tidying up, as well as dealing with the enthusiastic neighbors who come to visit are Selena's job.
He was impatient to deal with boring neighborhood relationships, but in a middle-class community like this, it would be very frustrating if such neighborhood relationships were not handled properly.
Otherwise, if someone dislikes him one day, they will find an opportunity to go to the neighborhood committee and report and complain about him.
Don't think this is a joke.
In the United States, there are many people who are bored and have nothing to do. It is common for them to call the police when they think their neighbors are acting suspiciously.
Luke wasn't afraid to call the police, he just hated the pointless trouble.
He asked casually, "Who is it that's causing all this trouble?"
Selina rolled her eyes. "I'm the one dealing with those annoying women in the community! When have you ever paid attention to your neighbors? I've met the hostess of this house, Meg, a few times before. I wanted to shoot her as soon as she spoke."
Luke glanced sideways: "Meg? I seem to have some impression of her. She is indeed not very comfortable. But she is not a drug addict, nor a shrew with a face full of fat, right?"
Selina sighed helplessly: "Yes, she is not. But when you talk to her, you can feel the superiority in her bones."
Luke was surprised: "Superiority? To you?"
He really didn't believe it.
It cannot be said that there are no women with outstanding looks and temperament in this community. After all, it is a middle-class community, everyone is a decent person, and clothes make the man, so it is unlikely that someone has a bad appearance.
But the only beauty who can be compared with Selena is the one with long legs in the white dress.
Secondly, the villa where Luke and his wife live is one of the best in the community.
The small villa that Meg sold was not bad, but it was only priced at US$550,000, while Luke's villa was conservatively estimated to be worth US$1 million.
Whether in terms of residence, appearance, temperament, figure or income, Meg, who is just an ordinary housewife, is at least two levels behind Selina.
Luke couldn't understand where this woman got the confidence to show off her superiority in front of Selina.
Selina shrugged helplessly: "You know, it's that kind of weird, self-righteous, sarcastic, seemingly polite but actually sarcastic way of chatting. Many housewives here have this tone, which is quite disgusting."
Luke understood.
Some middle-class housewives just like this kind of indirect way of chatting.
How could someone as cheerful and straightforward as Selena like him
He smiled and comforted her: "It's okay. If you don't want to bother with her, just say a few words to send her away. We don't rely on her for food."
Selina nodded, and suddenly exclaimed, "Karen is spying on the new neighbor again?"
Luke's eyebrows jumped: "Karen Gaffney? The interior designer?"
Selina nodded helplessly: "Yes, when will she be less suspicious? Is she forced into this state by her boring marriage life?"
Luke couldn't help but rub his forehead.
Several villas on this side of the community form a circle. It looks beautiful, but the area they occupy is actually quite limited.
Luke's villa is located on the edge of the city, with front and back lawns covering 400 square meters each. There are no buildings blocking the view around it, so the environment is much quieter.
Because of this, they have had very little interaction with other residents in the community and seem to be isolated from the community.
The two are police officers. They often go out early and come back late. When they get home, they have a lot of training tasks to do and have no time to participate in various gatherings among neighbors.
Luke and his friend didn't want to make their identities as police officers known to everyone in the community, otherwise they would be unable to avoid a lot of trouble in the community.
Now, the two of them are like passers-by in this community and rarely say hello to others.
However, there was one family that was an exception.
That's Jeff Gaffney and his wife Karen Gaffney.
Jeff is an employee in the human resources department of a large company. Due to his natural personality and his job, he likes to chat with people whenever he has nothing to do.
Moreover, this man had a very good temper, and when he met Luke during a walk, he would often greet him with a smile on his face.
Although Luke was impatient with dealing with his neighbors, he still had no aversion to this kind of sincere gentleman.
After a few months, Jeff became Luke's most familiar neighbor.
Jeff also invited him to several neighborhood gatherings.
Luke declined, but Jeff didn't have any opinion of Luke because of that.
He sympathized with Luke's busy work schedule and told him he could talk to him if he felt stressed.
Luke appreciated the kindness, but psychological treatment was impossible, not in this lifetime.
Jeff is a good man, and his wife Karen is not a bad person either. She is much better than a weird woman like Meg.
Karen is a housewife and an interior designer who works from home every day.
Perhaps, one of the great pleasures in her boring life is to be suspicious and imagine many exciting possibilities to enrich her boring daily life.
That’s right, this Karen was the neighbor who almost called the police to investigate Luke and his friend.
