He found some tools and materials, and after half an hour, he modified her window.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Tony Stark’s abilities had to do with machines, it wasn’t hard for Luke to modify the window.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at how the window opened upward instead of outward, a pleasantly surprised Elena asked, “This will work?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke was amused. “A thousand years ago, China had windows like this. I didn’t invent it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, he latched the metal supports on both sides in place and raised the window. “How about this?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elena waved at him with a smile. After Luke put down his tools and walked over, she gave him a kiss. “Are you really a police officer? I think you’re more like a mechanic.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke bent down slightly and carried her into the bathroom to wash off the dust and wood shavings. “Yes, I’m good at fixing certain things.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, people!he mumbled inwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A while later, they sat back down at the table and enjoyed their coffee as they looked at Paris in the rain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The light rain outside the window cooled the room down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elena shivered. Luke covered her with a blanket with a smile. “Don’t catch a cold.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elena was about to reply, when she exclaimed, “No, just sit here for a while... ah, forget it, do what you want.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke, however, picked up the coffee on the table and poured her another cup. “Isn’t it more comfortable to drink it like this?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elena bit her lip. “Can’t you stay still for a while?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke shrugged. “I’m very honest now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elena was lost for words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When night fell and Luke was done showering, he looked at Elena, who was dozing on the bed, and kissed her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She responded sleepily, then suddenly opened her eyes and woke up with a start. “You’re leaving?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke nodded. “I have a plane to catch later.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elena nodded. “Got it. Then, go.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at her face, Luke smiled and stroked her. “You can come to Los Angeles when you have the time. There are a lot of art centers there.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elena stared at him. “Aren’t you afraid that I’ll interrupt your work?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke said, “Are you going to look at me every day instead of the art you like?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elena punched him. “You should learn more from that love master. That isn’t touching at all. Go, don’t miss your flight.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke kissed her again and left with his backpack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elena didn’t get up. She simply lay in bed, deep in thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A gust of wind blew, and she shivered. Waking up from contemplation of her future studies, she covered her naked body with a blanket.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the open window and the faint lights outside, she sighed in satisfaction. “It really is beautiful.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After boarding the flight, Luke didn’t find it boring. He took out the newspaper which he had bought before he boarded the plane and read the headlines leisurely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What was going on in Europe recently?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, there was only one major incident, and that was the series of events related to Dukhovich at The Hague.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From Coventry in England to Amsterdam in the Netherlands and to The Hague in the end, a string of violent events in these places proved to be related to the butcher, Dukhovich.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What was even more bizarre was that he was thrown down from the courthouse building and pierced to death on the iron railing when he tried to escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Photos of Dukhovich hanging on the iron railing was a regular feature in the headlines of European newspapers for the past two days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although all the images were basically censored, there were plenty of HD photos online.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, the hottest topic on the Internet wasn’t the dead Dukhovich, but the Angel of Judgment who had thrown him off the building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that time, almost all the reporters in the court square had taken photos of the Angel of Judgment leaving Dukhovich and flying away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The photos were reposted by more newspapers, and the people who didn’t care about Dukhovich became curious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were even imaginative European netizens who proposed a new theory —because of the appearance of American Batman, our superheroes have also appeared! The era of superheroes is coming, so let us cheer!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Luke read the information on the Internet earlier in the day, he couldn’t help but sigh at how astute netizens were.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The superhero era of this world really was coming!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even without him around, it would be an era where superheroes and supervillains took turns dominating the headlines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn’t interested in being in the limelight. He was more concerned about public opinion in the newspapers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Generally speaking, the news that bigger media outlets divulged followed a trend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When all the media outlets spoke the same way, it meant that the authorities had reached a clear consensus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Western world was a professional at manipulating the media and could play the common masses without batting an eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only with the appearance of smartphones would everything change!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyone with a smartphone and some apps could become an eyewitness with “pics and the facts.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would be even harder to hide the truth and fool the public.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke had been looking forward to this era for a long time!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The plane took off at night and landed at night. Breathing in the summer air of Los Angeles, Luke felt a sense of homecoming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was very satisfied with the experience and credit points in the system from his personal operations this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Host’s experience: 46,350 \u002F 90,000\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Credit: 35,050\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had earned 16,000 experience and credit points in four days, which was very efficient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After killing Dukhovich, the system gave him 3,000 experience and credit points in one go, which proved that this guy truly was a butcher.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The last day he spent with Elena made him even happier, and the entire journey ended perfectly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After taking a cab home from the airport, Luke washed up and went to his workshop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn’t done any work with his hands in the last few days, and they were itching.\u003C\u002Fp>",1171,"2026-06-06T03:36:04.039Z",1,"novelbin.me","f33fe28f3b7b57a4487d6caba7265fa1492f11a439e0144184b46c152a0f3bba","super-detective-in-the-fictional-world-chapter-588","super-detective-in-the-fictional-world-chapter-587",2233,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsuper-detective-in-the-fictional-world-cover.jpg"]
