It was a piece of cake to solve the problems of running a “small” ranch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this regard, Luke couldn’t compare with her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t rely on business to make a living, and his grandpa’s ranch wasn’t making a loss. It was just small issues in moving forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Secondly, Robert’s misgivings were also dispelled by Jenny.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She promised that he would only need to attend certain meetings when it was absolutely necessary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This might only happen once every few years or every decade — like last time, when Stark Industries shut down the weapons division, and Obadiah held a shareholders’ meeting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some of Catherine’s worries were also dispelled by Jenny’s explanation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the very least, Catherine now truly believed that Luke had relied on his skills and not killing people to obtain so much wealth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t that she didn’t trust Luke, but that she wanted more proof.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jenny was the most famous business bigshot in America at the moment, and her words were very trustworthy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Catherine didn’t think that Luke could fool a billionaire into putting on an act with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wasn’t interested in reading the contract.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Luke was lying, it was for their own good, and there was no point in pursuing it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the shares contract was real, there was no need to pursue it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Catherine was very wise when it came to showing proper concern for her family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Five days later, the three of them returned to New York together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The atmosphere on the plane was a lot better.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the way, a certain dog head wasn’t kicked in the butt at all, and was able to watch its show in peace and quiet until they arrived in New York.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jenny gave Luke a farewell kiss, said goodbye to Selina, then got into her car and left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selina watched her car drive off suspiciously. “Why do I feel like her attitude toward me has improved?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke thought for a moment. “Maybe because you’re more awesome than she is.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selina snorted. “Is it a competition? There are plenty of people who are better than her.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke shook his head. “No, it’s that you’re more bighearted.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selina subconsciously lowered her head and looked at her chest thoughtfully. “Hm, she really knows her place.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gold Nugget silently turned its head.?Are you dumb? Do you really not know what the fiend is trying to say?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a rare break, Luke finally started to pour all his energy into work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This wasn’t his detective work, which wasn’t hard and didn’t require too much effort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What he was focused on were the leads he got from the two new prisoners in Space 2.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon after throwing them into the space prison, Claudia and Hodge returned to normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In front of them was a completely separate prison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were in two separate rooms. They could eat, drink, piss and sleep every day, but there was nothing else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every night, Luke would let them look at each other for five minutes, but they couldn’t hear each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They didn’t know any sign language, nor did they have any tools for writing or communicating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These five minutes was like giving someone a glass of water every day in the desert so that they wouldn’t die of thirst.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In less than ten days, Hodge’s mentality collapsed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, Luke didn’t specially use any super abilities. He simply used normal psychology and hypnosis which was aimed at the weaknesses in Hodge’s mentality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man who loved Claudia soon fell to his knees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Luke had no sympathy for them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did the innocent deserve it if someone could willfully slaughter them, traffic drugs and poison tens of thousands of people for love?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hodge, whose mental defenses were weak, quickly started to disclose information.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a reward, Luke gave them ten minutes to talk every day, but they couldn’t touch each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Hodge had kept some information to himself, so Luke went back to giving them just five minutes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few days later, Hodge couldn’t stand the loneliness, nor could he stand just five minutes where they could see each other but couldn’t talk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stopped resisting and quickly confessed everything he knew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since then, Claudia and Hodge met every day for ten minutes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Claudia still hadn’t given in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though she knew that Hodge had confessed everything, she didn’t say anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Luke wasn’t planning on getting rid of Hodge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hodge, who no longer had any more information to offer, could still be used as a tool to smash down Claudia’s resistance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In any case, time was on Luke’s side, and he wasn’t in a hurry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, Hodge had given him enough information to investigate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What Luke was best at was following clues. Now that he was investigating the information he had obtained from Hodge, whatever Claudia knew wasn’t necessarily important.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether she liked it or not, she was locked up here for good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke didn’t ask too much of a prisoner who was sentenced to life imprisonment. They could just continue to enjoy themselves like Black Sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to Hodge, they weren’t from some government agency. At the very least, Claudia hadn’t said that she belonged to any government agency.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one had arranged for him to follow Claudia. It was just that he was… persistent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Claudia was in charge of everything related to the drug trafficking, but based on some clues, Hodge speculated that she had connections in the American government.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After taking control of the cartel, the woman sold a tremendous amount of illegal drugs to the rest of the world, especially in the United States, and basically didn’t suffer any losses during this period of time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Batman’s appearance didn’t affect her business. Instead, the goods became more expensive and she made more money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, Claudia had powerful means of ensuring that the illegal drugs sent to the United States didn’t run into any problems on the way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Conversely, there had been some problems with her goods In Europe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the matter was resolved quickly, the process clearly wasn’t as smooth as in America.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Hodges didn’t have a concrete position, he had persevered in following Claudia, and she did have some trust in him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the last year in particular, he had access to certain networks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, he had inadvertently memorized information about certain locations, people and distributors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These leads were enough for Luke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoever could help Claudia move twenty tons of goods into the United States in a year was definitely a major target worth investigating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a comprehensive analysis, the Level 2 clone arrived in Baltimore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking southwest, Luke murmured thoughtfully, “What a nice place. It’s so close to D.C...”\u003C\u002Fp>",1171,"2026-06-06T03:36:30.884Z",1,"novelbin.me","be92c099d195dd784fb903c9f5519416189d85744798bdf3565ce35a6d78cca5","super-detective-in-the-fictional-world-chapter-1505","super-detective-in-the-fictional-world-chapter-1503",2233,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsuper-detective-in-the-fictional-world-cover.jpg"]
