Less than two minutes after the four came up, Luke also came up.
Looking at everyone's gaze, Luke said, "It's too late. Let's send Chris home. Nancy, you guys..."
Nancy and Quentin looked at each other and said in unison, "We'll stay at Chris's house for one night, in the living room."
Luke just smiled and nodded: "Let's go then."
Nothing happened overnight.
Luke and Selina had not slept and stayed awake to monitor the conditions of the four people at all times.
It was not until ten o'clock the next morning, when Luke and Selina were leisurely eating their freshly made breakfast, that the four people in the living room woke up one after another.
Nancy and Quentin thanked Luke, listened to his instructions, said goodbye to Chris, and left.
After the two left, Luke drove Chris out for a trip to the supermarket to replenish the food and other items that had been used.
Chris said no, but Luke explained, "We've been to your house, and what happened last night is best kept completely confidential. Telling it out will do no good except to create panic and make people suspect that you have mental problems. So, it's better to keep these things as they are."
Chris was speechless.
That being said, it's really not a matter of money.
Moreover, after Luke put the things he bought back to various places in her house, Chris was shocked to find that the house felt almost the same as before Luke and his friends came over last night.
"How did you do that?" she murmured.
Luke smiled. "We are detectives. We have training in this area. Remember not to mention that name to anyone, including Quentin and Nancy. Just think of it as a dream. If you encounter that guy again, call me."
Chris took his official business card, put it away carefully, and then saw the two of them out.
Watching the car disappear at the end of the road, she sighed, feeling inexplicably lost.
Perhaps, she should ask her mother to help her transfer to another school, away from Chunmu Town? This thought came to her mind.
Luke and his companion set off, followed by Bobby in a car, and they rushed to the camping site of No. 37 Middle School and met Jeff's twin daughters again.
He warned the two girls not to spread the news about Chunmu Town and not to be suspicious, but in return he received suspicious looks from the twins.
Luke and Selina looked at each other, helpless: This expression... is exactly the same as Karen's suspicious nature.
"A crime did happen, but that's the police's business. What do you want to do by spreading this bloody news so actively in the camping ground? To scare your classmates crazy? Or to drive your teacher crazy?" Luke asked.
The twins were speechless, and after a moment, their elder sister Susina muttered, "We... just want to know the truth."
Luke nodded happily. "Then you can study hard and become a detective after graduating from college. In downtown Los Angeles alone, the files of unsolved homicide cases pile up every year and fill up a 200-square-meter archive room. The five-story archive shelves are full of files of these cases."
Twins have black lines on their foreheads: What does this have to do with us
Luke continued to attack them: "And the police station has a special old case investigation team, which is always short of manpower. Last year, they solved three old adult cases, setting a record high in the number of cases closed in recent years. Now there are only a few thousand cases left to be solved, which can fully satisfy your curiosity for the truth."
twin:…
In this way, Luke had struck a blow to the gossipy spirits of the two little sisters, but he was still not at ease.
While they were being teased to the point of being annoyed, he activated his ability of telepathic communication and gave the twins a little psychological hint.
But Luke didn't have much hope of how effective this hint would be.
The twins' paranoia is exactly the same as Karen's, which is a typical case of "it's hard to change one's nature."
My ability to communicate with others’ minds isn’t overbearing enough to completely brainwash you, so this is the only way to deal with it for now.
The point is, Freddy is not dead.
If the twins continue to spread that guy's "reputation", he might be recruited back soon.
Luke had no idea how to kill Freddy, and he had no interest in chopping this weak wizard into pieces and burning him again.
After doing this, he went to say hello to Juliet and described the events of Chunmu Town in a Spring and Autumn style, indicating that the case was closed.
Only poor Will Rollins will not be able to come back to continue the camping activities.
Luke also left his contact information for Juliet, and his two companions returned to Los Angeles in two cars.
When they arrived at the apartment building which was still Bobby's dormitory, Luke walked Bobby upstairs. After a while, he came down and got in the car, sighing helplessly.
Selina was puzzled: "Why do you seem reluctant to leave Bobby?"
Luke was silent for a moment and shook his head: "I really hope the gold mine over there can be dug out sooner."
The mines in Prosperity Town are still sealed.
Luke asked Team Leader Wells for information and learned that the fake FBI agents would not leave for another week, which was much earlier than the expected one month.
Bobby had nothing to do, so he stayed in Los Angeles for a few days.
What Luke really misses is Bobby's spiritual communication.
Just now, he had played two rounds of blackjack with Bobby again and successfully busted his own cards.
Bobby's ability list also turned gray and said "temporarily unavailable".
This guy has really bad luck. He was dragged into a nightmare by Freddy twice last night.
Who knows whether Bobby's telepathic communication will produce a chemical reaction with Freddy's ability to enter dreams, and then bring Freddy back inexplicably.
Luke didn't dare let this guy continue to have bad luck, or he might lose his life.
Now, I can only wait until the gold mine is mined. Maybe this guy will be grateful to me for making him rich.
If this guy still doesn't know how to be grateful, Luke can only hum...
This time, the matter in Chunmu Town was resolved quickly. After returning, the two went directly to the police station. Elsa looked at them in surprise: "What happened?"
"It's done," Luke said simply.
Elsa didn't ask any more questions.
For this kind of private work, she only needs to know the itinerary, and no one will ask about the specific details.
Otherwise, if something went wrong and the Ministry of Internal Affairs asked her to investigate, how would she pretend to be ignorant
"So what are you doing here now?" Elsa asked.
Luke chuckled, "Take the case. If there's any urgent case, I can handle it first."
Elsa was suspicious: "Don't you have a few cases on hand?"
Luke: "I'm efficient and can do more."
Elsa gave him a strange look, but still found a pile of files on the table and said, "Take them and check them."
Luke and his companions have always been very hardworking, but what on earth is this constant request for cases
Luke handed the file to Selina: "Go take a look first, I have something to do with the boss."
