Luke spread his hands: "So, we will not deal with this case, and hand it over to the FBI directly. We are police detectives, and we deal with the affairs of living people."
Elizabeth and Billy nodded wryly.
They don't have the right to make Luke unhappy, and there's no need for it. Anyway, it's a case that can be investigated or not.
Luke then took Selena to Elsa's office and told them their decision not to follow up on the case.
Elsa was not surprised either.
Don't think that Americans are not superstitious. If they are not superstitious, God, Satan, vampires, and Halloween are their daily cultural elements.
It's normal for police detectives to be reluctant to follow up on some weird cases.
It's just that Luke started investigating the case for the first time, and he made it clear that he would not follow up.
Before Luke left the office, he seemed to think of something, and asked casually, "By the way, who is from the fbi? Do I know him?"
Elsa: "It seems to be someone from the Advanced Research Joint Group. I don't know who it is."
Luke: "Okay, I'll go to the file first."
Elsa bowed her head and waved her hands, indicating that he could go away.
Since the case in the Weaver community did not follow, he had no case in his hands, and Elsa naturally sent him a new case.
Back at the desk, Selena asked in a low voice, "Are you really not following?"
Luke nodded: "Yes, for ordinary policemen, this kind of case is as far away as possible, because they have no ability to solve it at all, and it is difficult to have any effect except to get themselves involved."
Selina nodded, expressing her understanding.
Of course, Luke is not ordinary, but he is not willing to investigate, so the danger in it can be imagined.
At this moment, Luke was not frightened, but surprised.
Just now, when he stepped into the door of that villa, there was a sudden movement in the system.
System: Unknown negative energy is found, the energy is forcibly establishing a link with the host, do you accept it
Of course Luke... didn't accept it.
What kind of existence does the system exist? It is something bound to Luke's soul, and it will not have any active response to most dangers.
It has always been like an auxiliary plug-in, it exists there, but it never actively interferes with Luke to do anything.
All its rules were discovered by Luke bit by bit.
Now, it actually took the initiative to send out a reminder, and the reminder looked wrong.
Luke wouldn't choose the link stupidly.
Thinking about the people who died in this villa before, and the Remus family who was about to go crazy with fright, Luke felt that it would be better for him not to provoke this troublesome and weird existence.
Apart from the basic self-healing ability and super physical attack, he doesn't really have the ability to fight against supernatural events, so blindly taking risks is not worth it.
But there are still surprises.
If the so-called negative energy in this room is a ghost, and the system can actively reject the other party's forced connection, then let's take a guess, can the system also reject the forced intrusion of the psychic
If so, the system's soul binding still has the effect of resisting spiritual attacks
Luke was very happy about this, which was far more important than going to the haunted house to find out the truth.
More importantly, he didn't need to take that risk, because he still had a ready-made psychic Bobby in his hand.
The manager of the public relations department of Cosmic Cube Technology Co., Ltd. does not know whether his telepathic communication ability has improved.
At that time, let Bobby use telepathic communication with Luke, and the result can be easily tested, which is safe and convenient.
After all, Bobby's psychic communication is still very low-level, not at all the cheating level of psychic ability of Professor X.
While thinking like this, the phone on the desk rang suddenly, and Selena answered it twice, and said to him: "Dustin asked you to go to his office alone."
Luke nodded: "Then you read this file first." After speaking, he got up and left.
When he arrived at Dustin's place, he waved his hand to stop him before entering the door.
Dustin got up, put on his coat and walked out, motioning for Luke to follow, and whispered, "Jennifer is here."
Luke: "The big star?"
Dustin nodded slightly, and continued to whisper as he walked, "She's in the chief's office, waiting for you to pass."
Luke was puzzled: "Huh? Did she come to complain about me?"
Dustin gave him a strange look, and continued to move forward: "No, people are here to thank you."
Luke: "...you're not talking irony, boss."
Dustin was surprised: "You helped her solve a big problem. Several people in this case were also their own faults. Why would she complain to you?"
Luke: ... I have reviewed all the knowledge in her more than a dozen video tapes. Can I talk nonsense about this
Dustin didn't pay much attention: "She said that she came to the police station to thank you, but you must be present before we can continue talking."
In his words, the "continue to talk" aggravated and dragged on a bit.
Luke immediately understood: "Donate?"
Dustin: "Not sure, but likely, and definitely not small."
Luke: "...Boss, I don't count people's money, right?" If the big star said it was just a verbal compliment, do you think I did something wrong
Dustin knew what he was thinking: "No, even if she didn't pay a penny, you're not at fault. But the greater her 'thank you', the greater your credit."
Luke: ... If you don't raise your salary, and you can't give me bonuses randomly, what's the use of credit
Of course, this is just thinking about it. In fact, he doesn't care about the bonus right now, and cares more about the support from the bureau.
For the case of the haunted house in the Weaver Community, he said he would not investigate it, and he didn't even need to explain it. This is the support of the bureau.
Other detectives want to drop a case outright, perhaps with an explanation.
Once the explanation is not good, it may be ordered by the superior to continue to follow up, or even an order to produce a result within a time limit, which is not impossible.
Luke doesn't have this trouble now. He already has a lot of choice in what case he investigates and what case he doesn't investigate, and this situation will become the norm and the default rule, just like his uncle, old g.
When he arrived at the director's office, Dustin just motioned for Luke to go in, but he said "Director, Luke brought it" at the door and left without entering.
Well, Dustin was originally Chief Brad Peel's person, and he was also a hardcore old subordinate. The relationship between the two was very deep, so he could behave so casually.
Chief Brad just beckoned, Luke entered and closed the door, and then respectfully saluted the brother of the West District Police Department: "Chief, Luke Coulson is here to report."
Brad hummed and waved his hand: "Sit down and talk."
Luke sat on the sofa and met the eyes of Jennifer Perry who was diagonally opposite.
He looked very calm, and smiled politely at her, but the big star unconsciously turned his gaze away a little.
