He converted his chips back into cash, and was left with just 820 dollars after losing the rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke shook his head inwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had spent a lot of time wandering among the tables just now. If he had instead stuck to one game the entire time, he could’ve lost hundreds of dollars in an hour.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wouldn’t be a surprise if he lost thousands of dollars in one day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gambling is really bad!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke mumbled to himself and went back upstairs. It was around half past six.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Standing in front of the glass wall with a cup of coffee in his hand, Luke peacefully enjoyed the city skyline before dawn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At half past seven, Selina came out drowsily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke turned around and looked at her. “What are you doing?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selina said, “I’m going to the bathroom.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke was speechless. “Need I remind you that your room has its own ensuite?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selina said, “Oh, I thought I was at home.” She then returned to her room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selina coming out wasn’t a surprise, but did she forget that she wasn’t wearing pajamas?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What he saw just now was quite different from his view at the door to her room earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she moved and turned, certain parts of her body were truly... bouncy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke returned to his room with a smile and changed his clothes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was going to visit Old Greyson, so he couldn’t be dressed too casually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After he changed, he knocked on Selina’s door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had been in the bathroom the whole time. Did she have that big a bladder?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leaning against the door, Luke knocked on it again. “Selina, get up already. We’re going to visit Greyson. We can’t be late.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A long time later, Selina murmured, “...Okay, just let me sleep a while longer.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke said, “I heard that the restaurant has Australian lobsters today.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selina suddenly came out of the bathroom. “Ah, I want to eat lobster.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke said, “No problem, but put on your clothes first. I’ll be waiting for you outside.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Confused, Selina looked down at herself and asked, “Why aren’t I wearing any clothes? Did you take them off me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke didn’t respond to her slander at all. Did she not remember that she had only slept in her underwear last night?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selina wasn’t really bothered either. After living with Luke for months, she had accidentally exposed herself too many times to care.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half an hour later, when Selina came out in a gorgeous outfit, Luke whistled. “Well, well. You’re getting prettier every day.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selina did a little turn. “How do I look? I’ve never worn this before.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke remarked, “It’s beautiful and suits you well.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selina wasn’t dressed in the style of an officer. With her brown coat, her black-and-white plaid shirt, and her gray pants, she looked sexier than usual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nobody would think that she was a police officer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selina nodded in satisfaction and went downstairs for breakfast with Luke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wouldn’t have been so gung ho about getting up if it wasn’t for the Australian lobster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Selina had her fill of Australian lobster and Luke paid the bill, they left for the forensics center.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At ten to nine, they showed their credentials to the guards and entered the forensics center.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selina was quite amazed by the forensics center’s interior design, which was quite futuristic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke smiled and didn’t say anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t expect to be able to visit the holy land for CSI teams so soon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He found Old Greyson’s office, but nobody was inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke asked a person who was passing by. The man looked funny and had a funny voice, but he was a nice guy and told them that Old Greyson was in a nearby lab.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke and Selina thanked him and found the lab twenty meters away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A handsome middle-aged man was scrutinizing a diorama in the lab as if he were appreciating a work of art.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke knocked, and Old Greyson reluctantly put his magnifying down and looked at the door. He then smiled. “You’re here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke asked, “Can we come in? That looks like fun.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Greyson said, “Of course, as long as you don’t touch it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke leaned closer and observed the diorama for a while. “This is practically a masterpiece. Greyson, when did you become an artist? This is pretty lifelike, and gory.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The diorama was in fact a realistic-looking murder scene. Even the blood and the injuries on the victims were perfectly depicted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Greyson thought for a moment and shook his head. “It’s not my work, but an exhibit by a serial killer that we call Diorama Killer.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stunned for a moment, Luke observed the diorama more carefully. “So, this is a calling card left behind by the killer? There must be more than one of them, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Greyson pointed in another direction. “There’s another one over there.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke went over to the second diorama, but instead of observing it, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later, Luke turned back with an odd expression on his face. “Have you found any leads on this Diorama Killer? Like... her gender?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Greyson asked solemnly, “Her? Are you saying that the Diorama Killer is a woman?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke said, “Maybe, maybe not. She could be an accomplice, or just the person who helped the killer to make or place this diorama. It’s a woman no older than thirty years old.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Greyson said, “...Are you high?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke chuckled and said, “No, it’s just my gut feeling. I doubt that it can be confirmed without proof.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Frowning at him for a moment, Old Greyson nodded slightly. “Alright, got it.”\u003C\u002Fp>",1102,"2026-06-06T03:35:48.055Z",1,"novelbin.me","00d3d4b725faae88072e14693bf75584e27f25336fa90a2a6d1bfa9dda576016","super-detective-in-the-fictional-world-chapter-208","super-detective-in-the-fictional-world-chapter-206",2233,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsuper-detective-in-the-fictional-world-cover.jpg"]
