Luke didn’t intend to waste his credit on them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He simply turned into a videographer again, and filmed them packing away the money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The women hid the money away inside the doors of the car, until Luke could barely detect the smell of cash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed that they weren’t planning on giving Sergei the money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It remained to be seen how the two parties, who each had their own plans, would fall out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking this, Luke stopped filming and operated his phone. He was relieved to see that there were no surveillance cameras in the warehouse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His phone could detect bugs and cameras within a range of a hundred meters and disrupt them for a short while so that they wouldn’t record anything in that period.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was also why he made up his mind to learn Tony Stark’s abilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without these inventions of his, it was possible that he would fall victim to a hidden camera or bug someday.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thanks to his phone, he would always know if he was being watched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the four women took a break in a nearby room, Luke nimbly crawled in through the window.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He snuck over to the A8 and stuck a tracker that he had modified to the bottom of the car.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that was done, Luke slipped away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he left the warehouse, he installed ugly bugs that looked like buttons in the corners.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he was lucky, he might be able to pick up on the women’s retreat plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After he left, Luke rode his bike to a fast food restaurant not far away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Listening in via the bugs with his earpiece, Luke considered how he could most benefit from this robbery case.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Se\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sergei had to be apprehended, or LAPD wouldn’t be able to explain to the public why such a ruthless man who murdered Katie was still free.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as Sergei was escorted back to Los Angeles, Luke’s job was done. Whether or not Sergei was convicted, and how, would be left to the district attorney.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elsa, Dustin and even the director of the police department would all be commended for this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would be up to them how they would share the credit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Senior detectives and his boss Brock hadn’t been involved in the cases that Luke had cracked in Houston. The cases were kept confidential even from Brock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was one of the reasons why Brock had been so hostile toward Luke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Things would’ve been better if Brock had been open-minded, but Brock was actually a petty man, so they could only fall out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke and Dustin currently weren’t on bad terms, and they wouldn’t suddenly become enemies after this case.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was because of Elsa, who had worked under Dustin for years, and surely enjoyed some privileges.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since she and Luke were now close, Dustin wouldn’t come after Luke, if he was a sensible man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hence, Luke had to resolve this case perfectly!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sergei had to be caught. But what about the four women?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke hadn’t made up his mind about them yet, not because he was charmed by them, but because the women hadn’t killed anyone in the robberies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They only used the guns to threaten the security guards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke didn’t dare rob them of their loot, precisely because their crime wasn’t severe enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the deal with NYPD was made, the four women would be NYPD’s problem instead of Luke’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, should Luke apprehend them or not?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought for a moment, then decided that he wouldn’t specially act against them nor indulge them. At the very least, he had to get the money back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Given his understanding of the Super Detective System, he would only be rewarded if the money was retrieved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was like the hijacking previously; most of the experience and credit he had received was for rescuing the passengers, not for suppressing the five terrorists.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke made plans in his heart as he listened to the conversation via his earpiece.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he couldn’t understand one bit of it. He shook his head helplessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn’t even picked up Spanish yet, let alone Portuguese.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could only operate the device he was holding, which looked like a phone, before he read the text on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a translation system with a voice recognition function. Though not entirely accurate, it conveyed the gist of the conversation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As it turned out, it was true that the women intended to leave after the last robbery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They wouldn’t meet with Sergei at all, but would simply drive through Queens into Nassau to escape NYPD’s dragnet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the loot, they had connections to bring it back to Brazil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nobody in Brazil would care that the money was illegal, as long as it was real.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a while, Luke basically figured out the women’s plan, and he returned to the police department.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He found Elsa, who was still checking files and waiting for updates, at their desk, and he told her the women’s plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elsa was excited. “They’re going to do another job?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke remarked, “Elsa, they’re not going to share their loot with you. Why are you so excited?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ignoring Luke’s teasing, Elsa murmured, “If they succeed again, NYPD won’t be able to take it anymore.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke said, “But they’re on a tight schedule. After the robbery, they’re going to leave through Nassau in half a day with the money. How will that affect our negotiations with NYPD then?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Narrowing her eyes, Elsa suggested, “What do you say we stop them from escaping first?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke said, “...Elsa, are you serious?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He basically understood what she was saying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the women completed the job, Dustin would be able to make a deal with NYPD.\u003C\u002Fp>",1084,"2026-06-06T03:35:48.054Z",1,"novelbin.me","5f541496bb768d929d5ae165f8326630dbeaf50cc611879a394fab297fb67f8f","super-detective-in-the-fictional-world-chapter-125","super-detective-in-the-fictional-world-chapter-123",2233,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsuper-detective-in-the-fictional-world-cover.jpg"]
