Get lost and don’t disturb us, got it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, he reached for Jimena’s arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jimena subconsciously hid behind Luke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke slapped away the man’s hand, and this young master cried out in pain. “F*ck! What are you doing?” Luke turned to Jimena and blinked at her. “Are you here to party?” Jimena was stumped for a moment before she caught on, and she quickly shook her head. “No. My senior told me that this is an upper-class party for business elites to discuss recent financial trends in Los Angeles. I’m only here to learn.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke turned back to Dylan. “Playmate?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dylan smirked. “Prude.” He then returned to his original seat and took a deep whiff of a small pile of white crystals with a rolled-up hundred dollar note.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lifting his head with a contented look, he seemed even more deranged. “You’re just a third-rate b*tch who’s here to sell yourself. Who are you pretending to be? Just because you know a small police officer, you won’t admit it now? Everybody whom that sl*t Parimera brings is also a sl*t! Haha!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Dylan who was high and crazy, Luke suddenly laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stepped forward and knocked away the two security guards next to Dylan, before he pressed Dylan’s face into the crystals on the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You are now suspected of illegal drug possession and use, Mr. Dylan. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you do say can be used against you in a court of law...” Luke unhurriedly recited the necessary lines for an arrest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then handcuffed Dylan and pressed down on the guy’s neck with his left hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dylan, who had been cocky a moment ago, couldn’t say a single word now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could barely breathe under Luke’s hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everybody who noticed the scene was shocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A young officer had actually arrested Dylan Elsworth in his home? Was this some kind of show?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grimly, the two security guards tried to pull Luke off of Dylan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pressing down on Dylan’s neck and forcing him to stoop before Jimena, Luke raised his badge with the other hand. “Guys, don’t tell me you aren’t armed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The security guards immediately stopped and pulled back their hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke and Selina had been wearing their badges since they came to the beach. Anybody who wasn’t blind would have seen them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke was within his right as a police officer to kill the security guards if they tried to stop him when they were armed since he could argue that they had intended to assault him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The beach was a public venue, after all, and Luke had law enforcement power here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watched by dozens of people, the magnificent Dylan was hauled off the beach and stuffed into the backseat of a car like a dog, and Luke sat next to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jimena followed Luke out, and sat in the passenger seat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two security guards were making phone calls with unsightly expressions, but neither of them dared to stop Luke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke certainly didn’t seem easy to deal with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nobody knew what the Elsworth family would do to the young officer, but for now, the security guards didn’t dare try anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the car, Selina looked at Dylan in the backseat and sighed helplessly. “My beach picnic was ruined by this sort of person.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jimena lowered her head. “I’m sorry, Selina, it was my bad.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selina glanced at her. “Enough, you better be smarter in the future. You’re lucky you met us today, otherwise...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She remembered the girl in pajamas who had been knocked down on the side of the road.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jimena was also from Texas, after all. She wasn’t a bad person, and she and Luke were “close.” Of course Selina didn’t want to see anything happen to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke said from the backseat, “It’s fine. We were here to work a case, after all.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jimena hummed a response and fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was curious about Selina and Luke’s relationship, but decided in the end to drop it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wasn’t Luke’s girlfriend, and had even less intention of getting married anytime soon, so it wasn’t her concern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half an hour later, when they passed a bus stop, Jimena asked Selina to stop the car, and said that she would take the bus back herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke didn’t stop her. He let her go, and gestured to indicate that he would call her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They then returned to the police department, and transferred Dylan to an interrogation room and handcuffed him to a table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dylan’s mind was a lot clearer now that the effect of the drug had faded. He asked suspiciously, “Don’t you know who I am?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke and Selina smiled at each other. One of them took out a phone, and the other began reading the case file.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After two minutes, Dylan couldn’t tolerate the strange silence. “Hey, there’s something you want to ask since you’ve arrested me, isn’t there?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke looked up from the phone. “Sorry, but there isn’t. You just need to stay quiet here, and don’t disturb us while we’re doing research, okay?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dylan exclaimed, “F*ck! What do you want?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke rose and said to Selina, “Let’s go. We’ll just leave him to scream here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dylan was lost for words. Are you messing with me?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Luke and Selina didn’t return after they left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elsa had arrived at the observation room next door. The moment Luke closed the door, she asked, “Why did you arrest Dylan?” Luke chuckled and sat down in a chair. “He took illegal drugs right in front of our faces, which was an obvious violation. As an upright detective, I couldn’t ignore it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elsa was stumped for a moment. She sat down as well and tapped the table softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later, she looked at Luke and asked, “Did you do this on purpose?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke shrugged. “I believe this is clear and high-profile enough, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elsa looked at Dylan again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only wasn’t he in his right mind, there were also a lot of white crystals on his face. Anybody from the forensics department would be able to present a report in a few hours to confirm his drug abuse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t that serious a crime, but since Luke had caught Dylan red-handed with the evidence all over Dylan’s face, it was possible to sentence him to a few months in prison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Considering how spoiled the guy was, he would probably collapse after a few days in prison, let alone a few months.\u003C\u002Fp>",1105,"2026-06-06T03:35:48.056Z",1,"novelbin.me","c6bd1fc8cb82ffdc99eb18cdce9635fb3c0da7b39f05aff0db24bab5166d448f","super-detective-in-the-fictional-world-chapter-354","super-detective-in-the-fictional-world-chapter-352",2233,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsuper-detective-in-the-fictional-world-cover.jpg"]
