Would you like to hear it first?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke and Selina certainly had no objections. They soon figured out the plan and agreed to take part.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were here for fun, and the birthday celebration wouldn’t take too long anyway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selina, for one, liked the prank, and volunteered to play a bigger role.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke indicated that he could also help.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everybody went downstairs now that Selina and Luke were on board.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unable to refuse Selina’s request, Hodges gave her the tools he had prepared for the “crime,” while he and Luke got the substitutes which Selina provided: a new pair of silk stockings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half an hour later, a man reached the underground carpark, humming a cheery tune.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke almost laughed out loud. Henry, the birthday body, happened to be the funny-looking guy who had pointed out the way to Luke and Selina earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder Nick and his fellows wanted to “surprise” him. The man looked like someone you couldn’t help but tease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nick made a gesture that meant “go go go.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke was lost for words. Did you learn tactical sign language to play pranks?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He followed them, while up front, Selina had already grabbed Henry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Henry didn’t know what was going on at all. When he smelled Selina’s fragrance, he was wondering if it was Lancome Miracle, when his hands were seized in a hold and a few guys wearing big masks with the faces of former presidents on them rushed out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, there were also two guys who were wearing black silk stockings over their heads.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Henry’s head was covered with a hood. The next moment, he was pushed into an SUV not far away, and the car drove off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey, guys, I’m just a regular worker. I don’t have any money. I’m just a lab assistant. Did you kidnap the wrong guy?” Henry was so nervous that his voice cracked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned his head, only to see that the person who had locked his hands together was Michelle Borg, the incumbent president of America and a Latino woman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, she was only wearing a mask of said president.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had the fragrance of Lancome Miracle, which Henry was quite familiar with as a technician who specialized in analyzing and identifying smells.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, she was really a woman?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right next to Henry was a guy who was wearing the mask of the previous president. He chuckled creepily and said, “Don’t try to fool us, Henry!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Henry said, “Huh? My name is Hodges. You’ve got the wrong guy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hehe. Don’t fool us. Hodges has far less hair than you do.” The person next to Henry snorted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man in the passenger’s seat coughed in dissatisfaction. “Hodges is much more handsome than he is, alright?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Henry said, “I’m exactly Hodges! Look at how handsome I am.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everybody was lost for words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The car left the forensics center and quickly drove out of the city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the car, the man next to Henry continued threatening him. “Henry, do you know why you were captured?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Henry shook his head quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man glanced at everyone and said slowly, “Because... surprise!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, everybody took off their masks and silk stockings. “Happy birthday, Henry!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Henry didn’t know what to say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guy next to him turned out to be Nick, Hodges was in the passenger’s seat, and Greg was the driver.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Luke and Selina... Well, who were they?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Henry was a bit confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nick smiled. “This is Old Greyson’s nephew, Luke, and his friend, Selina. They’re here for your birthday celebration. Isn’t that great?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Henry was rendered speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He cursed out his friends for a long time, but then he noticed that the Latino girl, who had been wearing Michelle Borg’s mask, was observing him with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Henry finally stopped. Like Hodges and Greg, he was shy and anxious in front of beautiful girls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He unleashed all his fury on his friends and didn’t dare look at Selina at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selina held out her hand. “I’m Selina. I didn’t hurt you just now, did I?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What could Henry say? Admit that he was weak?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could only shake Selina’s hand with a fake smile. “Nice to meet you. You’re really a great fighter.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selina burst into laughter. “I’m just an amateur compared with Luke. He’s Greyson’s nephew. I’m here with him for fun.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything got back on track.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke finally learned that their destination was a place called “Henry’s Hog Hideout.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a special rural restaurant that reportedly had the most delicious roast pork.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selina’s eyes glittered as she listened. “Is it really that delicious?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Greg said confidently, “Trust me. My friend told me about this place. He would’ve taken us there himself if he isn’t sick right now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m going to have a proper taste of that meat.” Selina cheered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The atmosphere was more lively with Selina around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a while, Henry suddenly said, “Every one of my birthdays have been unlucky. I hope we don’t run into anything this time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hodges said in a lofty tone, “Henry, there is no data to suggest that certain dates are linked to accidents or crimes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right after he said that, Greg suddenly interjected, “Hodges, are you sure... Ahhhh...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everybody in the car screamed. Greg and Hodges, who were in the front, screamed particularly loudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was because an old red convertible had suddenly shown up in their lane from the opposite direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More importantly, the red convertible was headed right for them at a speed of well over a hundred miles an hour.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nick, Selina, and Henry were in the last row of the SUV, which had three seats, while Luke was seated in the middle of the car.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was the first to react.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment he sensed danger, he lunged forward and turned the steering wheel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the SUV had just made a turn before that, and it was impossible for Luke to see what their surroundings were like.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Turning the wheel was already the best he could do.\u003C\u002Fp>",1057,"2026-06-06T03:35:48.055Z",1,"novelbin.me","1e7dbf6a5d3e4c494167f37d433657d246b91431db562fcbd1f0400bc160c007","super-detective-in-the-fictional-world-chapter-210","super-detective-in-the-fictional-world-chapter-208",2233,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsuper-detective-in-the-fictional-world-cover.jpg"]
