Instead, it seemed like he was planning something dangerous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selina really knew Luke better and better now. She could tell from his eyes that he was up to something\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Returning to the police department, they greeted Elsa first before reporting to Dustin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dustin frowned. “That Stu... is so good? Even you couldn’t catch him?” He never thought that anyone would be able to escape from Luke once the latter found them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Considering Luke’s performance before, how strong must this Stu be?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke shook his head. “He’s too vigilant. He ran off immediately when his plan failed. We kept an eye on his girlfriend, but he never returned.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dustin nodded his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was impossible to ask Luke and Selina to wait in town for Stu indefinitely, since they were among the most capable detectives under Dustin’s command and were indispensable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke thought for a moment before deciding to tell Dustin about Stu’s weird ability. He said, “Boss, I didn’t tell the local police department any of that.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Surprised, Dustin pondered for a moment, then patted Luke’s shoulder. “I’ll talk to Deputy Director Condra. Your efforts won’t be ignored. Do you need a rest? You can come to work tomorrow.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke shook his head. “No need. It’s still early. I’ll see if Elsa needs us on anything. We’ll start working in the afternoon.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dustin nodded in satisfaction. “Alright, you can go now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They left the office and went to Elsa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Skipping the formalities, Elsa simply pointed at a case file on the table. “Martin and Roger have been working on this case. It’s dangerous. As usual, you can work on it for a few days and give up if you don’t make any progress.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke nodded. “Can we go now?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a brief hesitation, Elsa asked, “About your previous case, did you...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke shrugged. “It depends. If the deputy director is reasonable, he’ll feel that he owes us a favor.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elsa frowned. “What happened?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke said, “The killer is vigilant and unusual. He disappeared and never returned after his failure. We didn’t catch him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pondering for a moment, Elsa asked, “What did Dustin say?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He said it was fine and he would report to the deputy director,” said Luke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elsa was relieved, because Dustin could’ve only told Luke that when he thought that Luke and Selina had done a good job on the case.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Okay, you’re free for the rest of the day. You can start the investigation tomorrow,” said Elsa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke chuckled and said, “Thanks, boss.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selina also bade Elsa farewell before leaving with Luke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elsa, on the other hand, wondered if she could apply for another group of detectives to work under her if the deputy director owed her a favor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That way, her team would be stronger than before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wouldn’t have accepted the case in Woodsburg if it didn’t promise any returns.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>ns.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the case was solved, both she and Luke would be able to leave a good impression on Condra, which was why Elsa had taken the case.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After they left the police department, Luke drove home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selina said, “Did you mean it when you said that we would start the investigation this afternoon?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke said, “Studying the case file and making preparations at home is part of the investigation.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selina argued, “But haven’t I always been the only one to study the case files?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke said, “Excuse me, but I have to tell you a piece of good news.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selina asked, “What?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke said, “Starting from today, we’re going to up our training. We’ll be working on more aspects like shooting, boxing, driving, extreme parkour, swimming, running and more.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selina: “...Are you crazy?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke: “This is just to prevent you from putting on weight since you’ve been eating too much every day.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selina: “...Will you still make food for me every day?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke: “Of course!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selina: “Deal!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anything was negotiable as long as there was delicious food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, nobody else would be able to get Luke, probably the strongest man in the country, to help with their training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What Selina didn’t know was that Luke was only the strongest ordinary person, and that there were many extraordinary people out there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke quickly made lunch after they returned home, and they ate twenty minutes later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selina then washed the dishes and cleaned up the kitchen as usual. Luke was never interested in doing that sort of thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, Selina studied the case file as she digested her food. They were supposed to start training in an hour.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke, on the other hand, went off to create and modify equipment in his garage workshop for himself and Selina, given how dangerous this world was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At five in the afternoon, Luke dragged Selina out of the training room; she was in no better shape than a dead dog.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl declared, “No, let me go! I can’t take it anymore!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke chuckled. “No, we have to practice shooting today.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selina said, “But I think I’ve reached my limit. It’s hard for me to improve.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As you say yourself, it’s hard, but it’s not impossible. So, stop resisting and start firing guns with me.” Luke threw her into the bathroom and went to take a shower himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was still vigorous, thanks to the stat points that he added to Strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even on just two hours of sleep a day, he was still as energetic as ever. He was never exhausted or injured in training, because he always instantly recovered with Elementary Self-Healing\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, in order to create powerful equipment, he needed money first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking that, he called Bobby. “Hey, this is Luke. How’s the negotiation coming along? Any progress?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a brief silence, Bobby said, “...It’s the third time... they’ve turned down my request for a meeting... So...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke wasn’t surprised. “So, you’re saying that you didn’t make any progress?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bobby said truthfully, “I’m sorry, but that’s right.”\u003C\u002Fp>",1000,"2026-06-06T03:35:48.054Z",1,"novelbin.me","3dce349a260e7d37bc1bf224047edf417939648107bd5646da8c477f5cc1bb4f","super-detective-in-the-fictional-world-chapter-252","super-detective-in-the-fictional-world-chapter-400",2233,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsuper-detective-in-the-fictional-world-cover.jpg"]
