Is he really an Elsworth?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke’s expression didn’t change, but he was a little puzzled as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It didn’t make sense at all for a man to hold a party at his seaside villa the day after his father was confirmed missing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the joyous party, Luke said, “What do I feel like... this is a celebration?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I think so too!” Selina immediately agreed with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had reached the partygoers on the beach by then, and two security guards noticed them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The security guards blocked them and said, “This is a private party. No entry unless you have an invitation.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke craned his head and looked behind the security guards, before he flashed his badge with a smile. “LAPD. We need to talk to Mr. Dylan Elsworth about a case.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The security guards turned wary. “He isn’t available. You can go now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke nodded and said, “Then I’ll bring Mr. Dylan Elsworth in for drug abuse in a public place and talk to him at the police department. How about that?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of the security guards frowned and asked grimly, “Do you know where you are?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke grinned brilliantly. “Of course I do. I’m in my jurisdiction. I don’t usually pay attention to illegal drugs, but with your attitude, sticking my nose in it once in a while isn’t so bad. Just nice, I also know Bill, the DEA’s deputy director.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The security guard’s face turned dark. Finally, he said, “Fine, please wait a moment while I let him know.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Mr. Dylan really was taken to the police department, the security guard didn’t know what would happen to this young officer, but he knew that it wouldn’t end well for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fake smile still in place, Luke said, “Thanks very much.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They watched the security guard say a few words to Dylan, who simply waved his hand impatiently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The security guard returned with a resigned look on his face. “Mr. Dylan has invited you in... You better not try anything.” He had realized that Luke wasn’t as harmless as he appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Smiling, Luke put his badge on, and Selina did the same. She knew that it was time to put on a show.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they reached Mr. Dylan, Luke greeted him politely. “Hello, Mr. Dylan Elsworth.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sounded polite, but he didn’t stretch out his hand nor bow, and was clearly just going through the formalities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dylan didn’t really care. He didn’t look at Luke and continued to flirt with the young girls next to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ignoring that, Luke continued, “You own a red Ferrari F355, don’t you?” Dylan cocked his head, as if trying to recall, but then smiled unconcernedly. “I don’t know; maybe. I have too many cars.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke was almost amused by this pretentious show of wealth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He simply nodded and said, “This particular car appeared on the road two kilometers away from this villa. A young girl in pajamas — oh, similar to the girls next to you — was hit by the car and killed when it crashed into a tree on the roadside. Are you aware of this incident?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two girls looked shocked and doubtful when they heard this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dylan didn’t seem bothered at all. He asked, “Hey, Toby, do you remember where that race car of mine is?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The security guard replied solemnly, “Sir, the F355 that this officer mentioned was stolen a week ago. We made a police report back then.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke raised an eyebrow. “Is that so? Someone stole your car and drove it back to your villa two days later to hit the girl?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dylan laughed in amusement. “You’re a cop. What are you being paid for if I have to tell you everything? To eat sh*t? Haha.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then looked at the security guard. “Where are the newcomers today? Aren’t they here yet?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The security guard said, “They’re over there.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unperturbed, Luke took a casual glance in the direction they were looking at, and was stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selina was dumbfounded. What the heck?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another security guard led a group of girls over; they were all gorgeous and dressed beautifully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of the girls exclaimed in delight. “Huh? Why are you here?” Luke narrowed his eyes. “I’m here for work. And you?” The girl said with a smile, “A senior told me about a party here and brought me with her.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke sighed and pulled her away, before he asked in a low voice, “Jimena, do you really not know what sort of place this is?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jimena was confused at first, but then seemed to realize something. “Are you jealous? Don’t worry, I won’t let them take advantage of me. Parimera is a senior from my school, and we have a pretty good relationship. She said I would be able to meet a lot of financial experts here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke was convinced by Jimena’s genuine delight; she didn’t look flustered at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was now a part-time clerk at Nakatomi Corporation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For Luke’s sake, Takagi had arranged a position for her with much better pay than for regular employees. Luke often gave her little pragmatic gifts, like phones, perfume, makeup, purses, and so on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These gifts were mid-range products that were suitable for her job, so Jimena was able to save quite a bit on necessary expenses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had been meeting several times a month, and she wasn’t a secret service agent; it was impossible for her to hide any changes from Luke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His Sharp Nose would have easily detected any abnormalities in her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, that Parimera senior had tricked her into coming here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was how treacherous a person could be!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jimena wasn’t short of money; anybody with a brain would be able to tell that from her clothes and her daily expenses. Then why would Parimera bring her here?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke didn’t believe in a “pure and kindhearted” senior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was more a person who wanted to drag down someone who was living a better life than she was into the abyss with her so that they could be ruined and filthy together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were always people who felt happy when they saw other people doing poorly in life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Blacklist that b*tch. She’s trying to set you up,” said Luke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jimena gave an “oh” of surprise, but already had a faint inkling of what was going on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Actually, as soon as she had arrived at the beach, she had noticed that something wasn’t right.\u003C\u002Fp>",1088,"2026-06-06T03:35:48.056Z",1,"novelbin.me","dadfa0449ba4daf6ed810ca71174c31d2f7f341453ddd95d5b09bed2ef1c2e17","super-detective-in-the-fictional-world-chapter-353","super-detective-in-the-fictional-world-chapter-351",2233,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsuper-detective-in-the-fictional-world-cover.jpg"]
