Well, that’s fun. He’s good at taming animals and getting them to perform?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke had some doubts. “As a professional, he earns at least 200,000 dollars a year, right? Why would he steal a diamond pendant?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elsa grimaced and said, “I called Sheerah. She told me that this Bobby once confessed his feelings for her, but she rejected him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke was lost for words. Seriously? Bobby wasn’t on the same level as Sheerah at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, that wasn’t important. The important thing was that his job was hardly what a girl would like; Sheerah certainly wouldn’t, given how she was allergic to animal fur.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reading the rest of the file, Luke shook his head. “It seems that he gave up his life for love.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bobby was good at his job, and had been living a decent life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after developing an obsession with Sheerah, he quit his job to pursue her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With no income, he used up his savings in a year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no telling what Bobby was doing now to make a living.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the man was keeping himself warm and fed at least, if the chimpanzee was stealing things for him. His life couldn’t be too hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, few people would call the police if they lost a handful of bucks or some fake items, since the police usually didn’t have time for such trivial cases.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke stood up and said, “Let’s go try finding this guy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elsa was surprised. “Are you sure?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke said, “It won’t hurt to try. We’ve got nothing better to do anyway.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elsa realized that did make sense. She stood up and left to get her car.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke, on the other hand, had his own plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bobby’s ability might be useful to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had never met Bobby before, but he had smelled Bobby’s chimpanzee, which carried Bobby’s scent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t easy to locate the man in a city as big as Los Angeles, but the file mentioned the area where Bobby was most active.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All Luke needed to do was patrol the main streets in the area and see if he could detect Bobby’s scent or his chimpanzee’s smell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After an hour’s drive, Luke and Elsa finally reached the district.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a district with decrepit buildings and a problematic community. There was no telling how many crimes had happened here, nor was it possible to investigate all of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the environment, Luke was abruptly struck by an idea: Should he start his career as a vigilante here?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>L.A.’s crime rate had always been high. It was one of America’s cities of sin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Hollywood district where Luke was stationed was the territory of the rich, so it was safer there. The civilian neighborhoods south of USC, however, weren’t as peaceful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that was a good thing for Luke. His mood picked up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked out the window greedily, as if he were looking at a garden full of fruits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elsa and Luke roamed the streets. At noon, Luke said, “Let’s go. That’s enough for today. I’ll buy you lunch.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elsa found that odd. “Why?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke went with a believable excuse. “Because I’m happy I met my uncle.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elsa was suspicious. “Are you that close to your uncle?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke chuckled. “Well, he’s my goal. One day, I’ll turn down whatever’s not to my taste, just like him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elsa agreed with him. “That’s true. Your uncle’s a top specialist in the country. You have one more person who’s got your back.” She stopped, or else it would sound like she was jealous of Luke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke didn’t really care. Who was his true patron? Tony Stark, of course!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could he have transferred to LAPD if it wasn’t for Tony Stark?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who would dare investigate him? If they found out that it was Tony Stark who sent Luke here, would they have the courage to arrest him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, Elsa drove to the destination on Luke’s map. She was suspicious. “Is there good food here?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke picked up the phone and tapped the navigation bar, and a gentle female voice said, “Destination: Home Taste Tea House, a one-star Michelin restaurant.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elsa was reassured after hearing that it was a Michelin restaurant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though the food might not be to her taste, its quality was guaranteed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elsa was quite unused to the hustle and bustle when they entered the place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike most American restaurants that were usually quieter, the customers in the tea house didn’t bother keeping their voices down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since there were a lot of people in the place, it was rather noisy.\u003C\u002Fp>",775,"2026-06-06T03:35:48.055Z",1,"novelbin.me","7c3a233de53f2599326745b5467188501badc94e99f08db4256ddc7c0e5c302c","super-detective-in-the-fictional-world-chapter-167","super-detective-in-the-fictional-world-chapter-63",2233,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsuper-detective-in-the-fictional-world-cover.jpg"]
