He basically didn’t have any of his own men here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This also meant that the elimination of the Japanese branch wouldn’t have any substantial impact on the other branches.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Phil had looked for Big Dipper to clean up this group of Hydra members. It was safest for a branch like this which operated almost independently to disappear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, when it encountered a crisis, it could hide as a whole and escape the spotlight before changing its face and reappearing again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hydra had played this trick in World War II and successfully turned itself into the current SHIELD. Nick Fury wasn’t stupid enough to let them do it again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The size of the Japanese branch was now a mystery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were only 120 people on the list which HQ had, including the supervisor, agents, clerks, logistics personnel, and so on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were less than 40 front line agents, which wasn’t a lot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Nick Fury’s investigation showed that many people in this branch had subordinates who weren’t on file, and there were actually more than 500 active personnel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, this setup wasn’t allowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>NYPD also had support officers, but these were registered personnel. Subdivisions couldn’t hire people without reporting it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Investigations had already revealed that most of the people in the Japanese branch were problematic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke had to clean up these people and their “temp” subordinates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a huge project.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke had never dealt with so many “criminal officials” in one go. There were too many things to consider.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the 3D map of Shinjuku that was slowly being completed, he picked up his phone and didn’t stop writing and sketching as he made amendments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Polaris (the Big Dipper armor’s A.I. program) never stopped finding loopholes and problems in the plan to fix.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was busy until the afternoon, and had lunch at the coffee shop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared with the maid cafe, this first-rate coffee shop had a much more professional chef, and Luke rated the French dishes at 70%.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he was almost done, the waitress politely asked if he was satisfied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke said casually, “Not bad. It’s just that some of the ingredients weren’t very good.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Very soon, the chef came out to apologize to him and sincerely asked him about the dishes’ shortcomings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This chef was Japanese.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Japanese chefs made French dishes, American chefs made Chinese food, and that Korean diner owner in America made Middle Eastern kebabs. It was an interesting “cycle.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This had nothing to do with loving the country; it was just to stand out from the competition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the chef whose waist was about to break from bowing, Luke casually mentioned the shortcomings of a particular ingredient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The chef’s initially interrogative attitude immediately turned into reverence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, when he saw Luke wave at the waiter to take the plates away, he knew that the customer wasn’t interested in talking, so he could only bow again and leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Top customers absolutely had the right to criticize top chefs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were very few top chefs, but even fewer customers could point out the flaws in their dishes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If this was a comic, this customer would have a “godly tongue.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at it this way, the chef was far from reaching the top.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Luke would never mention that his comment earlier was actually a complaint Gold Nugget had made before. He was just borrowing it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words, the “godly tongue” which the Japanese chef admired… actually belonged to a dog.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke asked for a cup of coffee, and the waitress brought him a pot. Noticing the curiosity in his eyes, the young waitress felt a little dizzy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maintaining her professionalism, however, she immediately explained, “This is a small token of Chef Yamada’s gratitude for your comment. Also, your meal today is free.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke nodded obligingly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gold Nugget’s evaluation really wasn’t feedback that just anyone could give. After all, nobody apart from Luke, Selina and Claire knew how much of a gourmet food critic it\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling both excited and a little regretful, the waitress left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything about this aloof Prince Charming was good, and his indifferent attitude made people both love and hate him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After this interlude, it was quiet all the way into the night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neither the chef nor the waitress disturbed him again, which was the advantage of a top-class coffee shop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke locked his phone and narrowed his eyes to alleviate his fatigue. At the same time, he called for the waitress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was already seven in the evening. The earlier waitress had gotten off work, while the new one kept sneaking peeks at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that he had pressed the button, she immediately walked over. “Sir, how can I help\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke asked, “Do you have Chinese green tea?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The waiter said, “Yes. What would you like?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they talked, footsteps rang out, and five people walked past Luke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke glanced at them and said, “Then, a pot of Maofeng tea.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A red-haired girl subconsciously looked at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke naturally looked away, as if he hadn’t seen her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Various emotions flashed across the red-haired girl’s face, but she didn’t stop as she entered a private room further away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ten minutes later, the red-haired girl walked out of the private room and stood two meters away from Luke. She smiled. “Hi, Mr. John Wick?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke turned his head. “Hm?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the red-haired girl who had taken away the girl in the white dress last night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Last night, her hair had been bright red, but today, it was gradually turning pink. However, both hair colors were undoubtedly very… 2D.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Generally speaking, she could be considered fairly pretty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke looked at her and wondered if he should kill her. She was a bright red evil, and would be worth at least 200 points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The red-haired girl’s hair stood on end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She sensed that terrifying aura of death surge out of the man again to drown her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The red-haired girl trembled. “Sir, pardon me for disturbing you.”\u003C\u002Fp>",1159,"2026-06-06T03:36:33.722Z",1,"novelbin.me","b01cf3ed92bca8f92a968aca411860c168a9a4a09314298c0c74d032661c0a1d","super-detective-in-the-fictional-world-chapter-1601","super-detective-in-the-fictional-world-chapter-1599",2233,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsuper-detective-in-the-fictional-world-cover.jpg"]
