They could work on more cases, and their abilities wouldn’t go to waste.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At Luke’s heads-up, Elsa found an important lead and solved the William Johnson case.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The DNA test on the blood left behind by the wounded female shooter confirmed that she was the sister of the college student suspected of dying from a drug overdose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, it was discovered that the shooter was the elder sister who went missing as a child, and the college student was the younger sister.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no telling how they met, but the younger sister, who studied at USC, moved into her elder sister’s apartment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>William claimed ownership of the building not long ago, and wanted to drive out Rebecca, the elder sister, who had signed a long-term lease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Rebecca wasn’t living in the apartment, though she was paying the rent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For some reason, William sent a guy to kill Rebecca’s sister and make it look like she died of a drug overdose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After discovering that her sister was dead, Rebecca, with her terrifying skills, easily tracked down and killed William, who had murdered her sister.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, after William’s death, two men in his gang were also shot in the head in their apartments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of them died the day after William’s death, and the other died just yesterday.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nobody had made the connection between these cases before. Thanks to Luke’s heads-up and Elsa’s deductions, they finally figured out that this was one murder case with multiple victims.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke and Elsa even guessed why Rebecca, the female shooter, had shown up at the apartment the previous day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps, Rebecca had returned to the apartment to offer her dead sister the lives and blood of her enemies, so that she could rest in peace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dustin didn’t pursue the case any further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Rebecca had disappeared, and there was motive for the murders of William and his subordinates. Now was a good point to close the case.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Rebecca who hadn’t been caught yet, all they needed to do was put her on the wanted list.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was impossible to dispatch anyone to capture Rebecca.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After listening to Luke’s assessment of Rebecca’s capabilities, Dustin didn’t want any of his men to be killed over someone like William.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a busy week, Luke and Selina went to Elsa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing what Luke had to say, Elsa raised her head from the desk that was overflowing with files. “Are you kidding me? What did you say?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke said with a smile, “I’m asking for leave, boss.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elsa leaned back in her chair. “Do you have any idea how busy we are?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke nodded his head. “I do, but I’m hoping to visit my uncle. He’s in Vegas, so I won’t be away for long.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slapping her forehead, Elsa asked, “Do you have to?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke put up one finger. “Yes. We’re leaving on the weekend and we only need one day’s leave.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lost for words for a moment, Elsa searched the desk and said, “Since you’re going to Vegas, then bring back the test results for these cases from the forensics center there.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke asked, “Then would this count as a work trip?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elsa rolled her eyes. “In your dreams! I’ll ask the boss to send someone to fetch the results if you don’t want to take the job.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke shrugged. “Okay. Do you want any souvenirs?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elsa glared at him. “What souvenirs can you get from Vegas? Chips?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke laughed. “I can buy you a pair of sunglasses. I heard that the sun is very strong there.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elsa was rendered speechless. “Go away! I’ll cut your leave if you’re there for too long!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke saluted her and said, “Yes, ma’am!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next day was a Saturday. Luke checked in at the police department, but soon slipped away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selina had other things to do in the police department. They would take a flight to Las Vegas that afternoon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They could make the trip by car, but Luke was too lazy to drive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A flight would only take an hour, which saved a lot of time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After making preparations at home, Luke finally added the last stat point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>40 Strength!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was immediately seized with unimaginable agony. The muscles all over his body seemed to twist and burn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Biting down on a towel, Luke groaned harshly. “Damn it! I knew it couldn’t be that easy! Arghhhh!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When his main attributes reached 20, his body was significantly boosted and much stronger than before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What would happen when his main attributes reached 40? Luke had made a couple of guesses when he remembered that Elementary Self-Healing required 40 Strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He screamed for almost an hour, and finally weathered the most painful phase.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He still felt uncomfortable and grimaced in pain, but he wasn’t screaming wildly anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also, Luke couldn’t just lie around on his bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew that he had lost more body fat again in the past hour, but he wasn’t happy at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His smooth skin had turned slightly dry. It was obvious that his fat was being consumed like crazy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gritting his teeth against the pain and soreness in his muscles, Luke devoured the food that he had prepared in advance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He also injected himself with his own mix of nutritional fluid to replenish his almost drained body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then started feeling uncomfortable again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The upgrade process wasn’t over yet – even the first wave had yet to pass. He had felt better earlier because the system had slowed down the process due to his low energy level\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the new supply of nutrition, the upgrade was activated once more, though it wasn’t as painful as at the beginning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke simply gritted his teeth and panted heavily, and turned the agony into appetite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eating, drinking, and injecting himself with the nutritional fluid, Luke finally survived the first phase of the upgrade five hours later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He almost burst into tears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was as terrible as torture, and he didn’t even have the luxury of passing out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had to stay awake and consume a tremendous amount of food and energy to sustain the upgrade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During the process, Luke went to the toilet more than five times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When his Strength reached 20, he only went to the toilet once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t just because he was consuming too much food, but also because his body was discharging surplus waste now that it had been boosted to a new level.\u003C\u002Fp>",1087,"2026-06-06T03:35:48.055Z",1,"novelbin.me","32c49526b5703ea4303157c213e6ceca511b62c0c3f02b03d0a28559caa75788","super-detective-in-the-fictional-world-chapter-206","super-detective-in-the-fictional-world-chapter-204",2233,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsuper-detective-in-the-fictional-world-cover.jpg"]
