She never knew that Gomez had killed him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke was lost for words after hearing the whole story.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t know what to say about Gomez.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a criminal with past convictions, this man murdered someone for money, but blew himself up just a couple of months later. There was no telling if he had used up all the money yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hearing the story, Luke said goodbye to Hodges with the suggestion that they hang out again in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hodges nodded with a smile and saw Luke off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the elevator doors closed, Hodges murmured, “You’re such a pretty boy that I’ll only be outclassed if we hang out. I certainly won’t go out with you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside the elevator, Luke was lost for words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were still very close to each other and the elevator doors had yet to close all the way, so Luke heard Hodges clearly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This man turned out to be much funnier than he seemed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After he left the forensics center, Luke returned to his hotel room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lanchi and Trinity had just woken up, and they greeted him with smiles when they saw him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had lunch and chatted in the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mostly, the girls talked about their experiences in New York and the fun they had there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as they talked, they moved the conversation to the bed again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t until later that night that Luke finally tried out some new things in the bathroom with the girls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two hours later, both girls were tired and drowsy when they came out of the bathroom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were already snoring by the time they hit the bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke made a call in the living room. A manager soon arrived with two security guards to deliver a metal case.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After examining the money in the box, Luke asked them to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Closing the door, Luke took out the stuff in the box and returned to the bedroom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two passionate and flexible girls were sound asleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke gently rubbed their ears for a moment, before he drew back his hands and nodded in satisfaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that, he left the room with his suitcase.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke met Selina that night and they went to the airport.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the plane, Selina observed him curiously. “Did you have fun the last two days?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke smiled and didn’t say anything, but his eyes gave him away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selina asked, “Don’t you find two girls exhausting?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke kept smiling. With my physique, I’m still far from exhausted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noticing the look on his face, Selina snorted. “Fine, forget I asked.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke chuckled. “You bought a lot for yourself, didn’t you? Look at your clothes. Well, well, the latest Chanel product. Isn’t it worth 12,000 bucks? How does it feel to be rich?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selina said guiltily, “I only bought this one. It can’t be refunded.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke said, “Then just keep wearing it. I don’t think the rest of your clothes match this coat, though.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Selina’s sweater and shirt, which had been bought on sale, Luke shook his head and knew that together, they still cost less than even a single button on her new coat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He just hoped that Selina’s coat wasn’t the type that couldn’t be washed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If so, she would certainly regret it when the coat became dirty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selina was creeped out by Luke’s gaze. “What are you looking at? Why are you giving me such a pitying look? This is a genuine product that I bought at a Chanel store.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>",1024,"2026-06-06T03:35:48.055Z",1,"novelbin.me","f42ba41daa6704681299fc13d79f4a57bb12256fc57875f0de253cf7c8ea4257","super-detective-in-the-fictional-world-chapter-223","super-detective-in-the-fictional-world-chapter-221",2233,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsuper-detective-in-the-fictional-world-cover.jpg"]
