As the three of them were talking, they smiled and nodded at Level 3 Police Detective Catherine Beckett who was looking at them.
Beckett just smiled politely, turned around and began to give instructions to the two subordinates who had been distracted and grinning for no apparent reason.
She wasn't going to tell Javier or Ryan off for that.
Luke and his companion now hold ordinary positions in the Detective Bureau, but their status is not low.
He has a top-notch crime-solving rate, and there are rumors that he is very capable in fighting. He also found the murderer who attacked Walter. All the old detectives in the police department are very friendly to him.
John and Joe, the two old hands, have a good relationship with them.
With the support of their boss Dustin, no one in the detective bureau wants to create conflicts with them.
The two of them have a good reputation for their temperament, appearance and personality. If Beckett hadn't been busy with his recent transfer, he would have communicated with them more.
After all, the most good-looking people in the detective bureau are Luke, Selina, and Beckett himself. It is impossible to say that he doesn't have the desire to get close to them.
At this time, the three people on each side walked out while talking.
Once outside the door, Elizabeth went straight back to the Intelligence Department.
Luke and his companions were heading in the same direction as Beckett and his companions.
Beckett walked a little ahead and turned to talk to his men Javier and Ryan about the case. He still noticed Luke and the others, so he slowed down his pace a little: "Going to the parking lot too?"
Luke nodded: "Go investigate the case too?"
Everyone laughed.
Of course, there is nothing funny about this conversation. It is just the most common daily question between detectives, just like an ordinary person asking "Have you eaten?"
The five people on both sides would then go together to the parking lot, but the two "weak" people, Javier and Ryan, subconsciously fell behind a little to avoid the three "big guys" in front.
Although they are older than the previous three, there is a big gap between them in case handling ability and position.
In the detective bureau, age must be backed by strength to be considered as seniority.
Feeling they were three steps behind, they didn't want to move forward. Even though the passage was wide, five people couldn't walk side by side.
In fact, Selina fell behind a little, leaving the conversation space to Beckett and Luke.
As partners for a long time, Luke is the one who sets the tone when making initial contact with people, and she won't express her opinion casually at the beginning.
Because for the cheerful Selena, it is difficult for her to quickly decide who to be meaner to, and instead she is quite enthusiastic towards most people.
Luke is just the opposite. He is just polite to most people and won't get close to anyone casually.
He was the valve that controlled her overly friendly fault.
Luke and his beautiful colleague Beckett had a very polite and superficial first face-to-face conversation.
For him, beautiful women have never been a scarce resource.
Of course, a beauty like Beckett, who looks almost 70% beautiful without makeup, with cute black short hair and soft facial features with a baby face feeling, is not seen everywhere.
After a few casual words, the two ended the conversation without even the most common invitation between colleagues, such as "Let's get together after get off work when you have time."
A beautiful woman like Beckett has a different sensitivity to after-get off work invitations than middle-aged and older men like John and Joe.
Unless she asks for it herself, other men who are not interested in her should not take the initiative to speak.
But if she spoke up herself, it would easily lead to misunderstandings. Selina was too lazy to speak up on Luke's side as they were not that familiar with each other.
Javier and Ryan were just following behind and had no chance to get a word in.
So once they arrived at the parking lot, both sides smiled at each other politely and drove away.
Soon, Beckett and two of his men rushed out of the parking lot in two cars.
Luke's accompanying car then drove out slowly.
Obviously, Beckett's case is more urgent than Luke's.
He just drove at a slightly faster speed so that Selena could read the files and face the troublesome couple later.
Selina threw the file to the console first: "Scan the data and create a new file. Code name..."
She glanced at Luke beside her, wanting to see what he thought.
"Code name, Troublemaker." He casually gave the case an apt name.
In less than a minute, Selina was operating the tablet directly, and the picture was synchronized to the center console screen in front of him so that he could take a glance when necessary.
With Luke's current basic attributes, he can even vaguely see the trajectory of a pistol bullet, and his memory and reaction speed are n times faster than that of an ordinary person.
It would be absolutely dangerous for an ordinary person to drive with two distractions like this, but he can be more efficient than an ordinary person by concentrating on doing two tasks separately, and there will be no problems.
Selina began to introduce them: "Jeffrey Soderbergh, 52 years old, is a famous financier in New York. The Kinberg Fund is his, with assets of about 1 billion US dollars. His wife Aurora Soderbergh, 43 years old, mainly manages various charitable funds funded by her family. Most of the time, it is Aurora who is responsible for donations to various departments in New York. Well, she is also a major player in the "face-oriented party."
Luke was surprised: "Aren't you afraid of being sued for discrimination?"
Regarding discrimination, although it is not easy for poor people to win a lawsuit against such wealthy people, it is easy to ruin their character and image if they are caught.
A powerful couple who are willing to spend millions every year on charity and image management should not be so stupid.
Selina continued to flip through the information and laughed out loud at the end. "This Ms. Aurora is a bit proud. She seems to be at odds with some noble ladies in New York. According to rumors, she was once mocked by them for having a poor eye for "people", and both sides became enemies."
Luke was even more confused: "Shouldn't they just fight with each other and argue in newspapers and magazines? What does it have to do with looks?"
Selina said uncertainly, "Because that comment about poor taste probably means that the person she chose is...ugly? There's no mention of that in the information. This is just a 'cheat sheet' Dustin gave us."
Luke glanced at the screen and saw a few words Dustin had written on a small piece of paper, and he was speechless.
Selina: "Okay, I feel relieved now. At least I won't be classified as "ugly", right?"
Luke said quietly, "They are a wealthy white family."
Selina groaned, "Could it be that the apparent discrimination based on appearance is actually racial discrimination in the end?"
Luke tilted his head to think about it, then shook his head: "Maybe, in the end, it's because you think it's ugly?"
Selina glared at him unhappily and continued to tell him the information: "The most important point is that our mayor is also named Soderberg, and he is Jeffrey's cousin."
Luke had just heard Dustin mention this, so he wasn't surprised. He just sighed and said, "No wonder. He's rich and powerful."
When they arrived at the place, the two entered the parking lot. As soon as they got out of the car, he looked at the distance and smiled: "Hey, Beckett and the others are here too?"
