Super Detective in the Fictional World

Chapter 1009: Highly Suspicious Target

Luke didn’t remain at the construction site next to the hill. Instead, he went home and continued observing the town from the information center, until Selina knocked on the door.

Luke had already taken out a bunch of snacks from his inventory. He led Selina over to the couch in the living room, and told her to eat as they talked.

Selina was starving.

Usually, Luke, her snack supplier, would be around, so she wouldn’t feel it.

She had been busy for half a day today and hadn’t thought of eating at all. Now, she felt that her stomach was burning, and she decisively picked up the snacks on the table and wolfed them down.

Gold Nugget had already started on the plate of snacks that had been placed next to the coffee table.

After finishing five cupcakes and ten cookies in one go, Selina slowed down and started on the taiyaki.

Luke gave her a big cup of hot chocolate to replenish her energy, and also made a cup for himself.

Selina took a big gulp of hot chocolate and sighed in satisfaction. She said, “I’ve arranged for my relatives to stay at the ranch for the time being. If anything happens, they’ll hide and won’t get involved.”

Luke hummed in response and asked, “Where’s your family?”

Selina said, “I told them to go to Houston and help Catherine with your ‘ranch employee Christmas trip’ or whatever.”

Luke also relaxed.

It was heartless, but this was human nature.

He could only use all his strength to protect those closest to him, while he could only show everyone else consideration in passing.

After talking about the most important thing, they enjoyed a short break.

Suddenly, Little Snail’s voice rang out in Luke’s earpiece. “Sir, highly suspicious target detected.”

At Little Snail’s, a surveillance image was projected onto Luke’s sunglasses.

He saw four people standing next to a jeep as they questioned a Shackelford resident on the side of the road.

It was two men and two women. Both women were young and beautiful.

One of the men was slightly plump and older, and the other... was a tall and strong young man with golden hair.

Luke went through his memories of his previous life; the young man didn’t look like Xu Jinjiang[1].

Why Xu Jinjiang? It was because Luke had only seen the Thor movie once in his previous life, and was a little blind when it came to Caucasian faces.

Later, a lot of people made fun of him and said that he wouldn’t even be able to tell if Xu Jinjiang himself was the God of Thunder. Only then did this give Luke some idea of this person’s features.

Although this young man didn’t look like Xu Jinjiang, Luke still had to check him out.

They weren’t residents of Shackelford, and had come here at such a sensitive time. Luke couldn’t ignore such a coincidence.

More importantly, even as a man, Luke had to admit that the blond was tall, strong, and handsome.

However, his good looks were the rough and wild type.

This was very similar to the appearance of a certain crown prince.

Luke called for Selina and Gold Nugget, who were barely full, before they got into the car and drove to the fast food restaurant in town.

Shackelford’s town center was very small.

When there were no cars in the morning and you floored the gas pedal, it only took five minutes to get there.

The surroundings were the kind of place that only had one house every few hundred meters.

Luke’s place was closer to the fast food restaurant, and it would only take him a few minutes if he walked.

The car had only just sped up by the time it stopped. Luke took out two badges and gave one to Selina.

Selina glanced at it. “Did Robert give you spare Shackelford’s police badges?”

Luke stuck the badge to his shirt. “It’s an official badge of honor with our names on the back.”

Selina flipped it over and saw that it was indeed engraved on the back: Selina Hayek, lifelong honorary officer of Shackelford Police Department.

She blinked. “You made this for me?”

Luke chuckled. “Did you want Robert to make it for you? He would give you an old one from the police department storeroom at most.”

Selina was lost for words.

Robert was a miser when it came to the use of police funds, which was what made him a good sheriff.

They got out of the car and looked at the two women who were talking to the Shackelford resident.

One of them was 23 or 24, and could indeed be called a woman. She had long brown hair and exquisite features. She was definitely a great beauty.

The other one had long black hair and black-rimmed glasses. She looked less than twenty years old, but she was definitely a woman.

Luke didn’t waste any time. He simply stepped forward and said, “Ladies, I’m the sheriff here. Are you in trouble?”

Despite his words, he trained his gaze on the girl with black-rimmed glasses, and gave a gentle smile.

The girl in glasses was stunned when she turned around and saw Luke’s face. She subconsciously gave a “wow,” before she fell silent.

The older woman next to her, on the other hand, looked at him and Selina in surprise. The caliber of law and order in this town was too good!

Luke and Selina weren’t wearing the usual yellow uniforms of officers, but were in casual clothes. They looked simple and elegant, like young people in a big city.

Seeing this combination of good looks and charisma, the woman didn’t think she had seen many police officers of this caliber in a big city, but there were actually officers like these in this remote town?

Curious, she said, “Yes, we want to know if anything like a meteorite fell in this area.”

“Just a minute,” Luke said, before he turned to the old lady next to them with a smile. “Lucy, you’re probably in a hurry to go back and make dinner. I’ll handle this.”

Granny Lucy was a thin but very lively old woman, and she nodded with a smile. “You’re still as hardworking as ever. Come over for dinner tonight?”

Luke shook his head helplessly. “I don’t think so. There are a lot of people around. I have to keep an eye on them. You should go out less in the next few days, in case anything happens.”

Lucy chuckled. “It’s fine. I’m not scared.”

Luke smiled wryly. “That’s right. You’re not scared, but I’m scared that you’ll sort them out yourself.”

Stumped for a moment, Lucy then laughed cheerfully. “You’re such a smart kid. Alright, I won’t go out for the next few days. I won’t increase your workload.”

Luke gave Selina a look, and Selina immediately went over and helped put the two bags of stuff in Granny Lucy’s hands into the car.

She also carried over an American Shorthair cat that had been crouching on the side of the road, refusing to get into the car, and said, “Mickey, be good and go home with Lucy to eat canned fish.”

The American Shorthair was very obedient. It didn’t struggle as it was placed in the car, and it tilted its head to watch Selina close the door.

Lucy got into the driver’s seat and waved with a smile before she drove home.

Luke finally turned around. “Can I ask what you do? Are you astronomy fans?”
