They would be idiots if they continued to put up a fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, Luke was a police officer. He couldn’t kill other police officers without reason.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as they didn’t die here, they had ten thousand ways to get away with attacking Luke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Luke wasn’t wearing a uniform or a badge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This wasn’t Houston, either, but Wolfkyle, which was their territory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke didn’t say anything to them. He simply took out their handcuffs and cuffed them to their cars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Would they die from their wounds? Well, they could just pray that their arms were long enough for them to reach and press down on the bullet wounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they couldn’t, they might as well die.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naturally, Luke didn’t leave them the keys to the cars, and threw them into the woods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything happened too fast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke had been highly vigilant, and had still been suspicious even when he saw the police cars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he did recognize Sheriff Brown from a photo he had seen before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was for this reason that Luke dropped his weapon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But their hands had been on their holsters when they approached him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they were truly wary, they should’ve aimed at him as soon as they got out of their cars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet their hands had been on their guns as they slowly surrounded Luke, which was highly unusual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke had tossed his gun and asked questions to test them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had thrown the gun in a perfect location to pick up again after a roll.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He confirmed that something was wrong when he heard Crewe’s reply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If this place was fifty kilometers away from Wolfkyle, it would have taken more than twenty minutes to drive here on the highway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke didn’t think that the two police officers would dare to drive so fast in the middle of the night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was still a distance from the highway to these woods, which meant that it would’ve still taken an hour if they had received a 911 call in Wolfkyle and came here immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, it had been no more than ten minutes since Luke heard the first gunshot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could the two police officers be supermen who had flown into this wilderness from Wolfkyle in just ten minutes and pinpointed the location of the victim so accurately?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Obviously, something was wrong with them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They hadn’t aimed at Luke earlier because it would be easier to kill him when they were closer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What they didn’t know was that Luke had been luring them into attacking by dropping his gun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After dealing with the rotten police officers, Luke picked up the satellite phone again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He called Thomas, and the phone was picked up almost instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke said, “Chief, two police officers from Wolfkyle who call themselves York Brown and Nicholas Crewe just arrived. They shot at me after I dropped my weapon and told them who I was. I suspect that they’re related to the criminals, and that they were here precisely to get rid of me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thomas exclaimed, “What?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t know what to say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke seemed like such a sunny and friendly man. Why was he so unlucky?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thomas said without any hesitation, “I’ll tell that to the detectives and the FBI agents who are on their way. You didn’t kill them, did you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke said, “No, they’re only wounded. Chief, I need to find Selina. She’s hiding in the woods.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thomas said, “Take care.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke hung up and checked his left arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t serious. The bullet had gone all the way through and wasn’t stuck inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wrapped the injury with bandages from the pickup. That was the best he could do for now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While dealing with his wound, he picked up the other gun which he had dropped earlier and ran into the woods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sheriff and his deputy were confused. What was going on?We nearly killed you, and you’re not going to do anything to us?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke ran faster and faster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since he was alone this time, it only took him two minutes to reach the hollow where Selina was hiding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He called Selina’s name before he bent his head, in case Selina blew up his head with the speargun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But his mood darkened when he looked inside the hollow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selina was gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the meantime, he smelled a familiar scent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Frowning, he glanced around quickly, and finally found a puddle of the reddish black fluid on the edge of the hollow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was exactly the same as the fluid that he had found where the host of the game had died, with the same unique stench.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grimly, Luke put on the night vision goggles that he hadn’t used before this, and started to follow the trail of the reddish black fluid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a hundred meters, he saw a stick-like object. It was the speargun which he had left with Selina.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An arrow hung on a rope from the speargun, and was stained with the smelly reddish black fluid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not far away from the speargun, Luck found a cave opening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a search, he soon found a piece of ragged cloth and a shoe near the opening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ragged cloth was part of the T-shirt that he had covered Selina’s feet with, and he had taken that shoe off one of the guards earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking a deep breath, Luke took out his Beretta and crawled into the narrow, dark tunnel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was so cramped that Luke couldn’t walk at all, and could only crawl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After crawling ten meters, he found himself in a space that was slightly wider.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke slowed down and listened carefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He slowly crawled out of the tunnel and squinted as he looked around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn’t a geologist and he didn’t know what kind of place this was, but it seemed to be just a simple cave to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The good news was that there wasn’t an ambush waiting for him here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bad news was that there was nothing in this place. Selina wasn’t here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crouching, Luke held his gun in his right hand and drew the knife out with his left hand. The body of the blade glinted dully in the dark of the cave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Supporting the weight of the gun in his right hand with his left, Luke stayed on full alert as he pressed on quickly and smoothly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tried to stay quiet and steady.\u003C\u002Fp>",1099,"2026-06-06T03:35:48.054Z",1,"novelbin.me","b9a2dcfccaba41dc8f2b1f84a10390dd5ca33f55d9852a558baf61b17a25ef42","super-detective-in-the-fictional-world-chapter-190","super-detective-in-the-fictional-world-chapter-189",2233,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsuper-detective-in-the-fictional-world-cover.jpg"]
