Super Detective in the Fictional World

Chapter 1194: Ex-Wife Soars High

The next day, New York City’s headlines were naturally all about the second major battle at the expo last night.

All the major American news networks had in fact reported the breaking news last night, but the morning news was the official one.

Countless editors had burned the midnight oil and lost a lot of hair before they were able to push out an abundance of news items the next day.

Thankfully, there had been a lot of reckless witnesses last night, including professional paparazzi who had taken the lead as they risked their lives to record the fight.

But something strange happened.

The most popular one wasn’t Batman or Iron Man, nor was it the supervillain, Whiplash.

It was… Colonel Rhodes.

A certain colonel, who had long been on the sidelines, now successfully captured the news headlines.

“Colonel Rhodes’s Ex-Wife Shocks the Three ‘Iron Men’,” “Before the Ex-Wife, All Living Beings Are Equal,” “Shock! A Certain Colonel Publicly Discriminates Against Women. This Is Moral Ruin…”

Luke wasn’t sure if Stark and the others had expected this outcome, but he certainly hadn’t.

Who knew that a reporter would actually be able to use a long-distance sound collector to record Colonel Rhodes’s shout of “ex-wife” so clearly.

The key wasn’t how strong his “ex-wife” was, but how the four super “bigshots” present had been stupefied after it fizzled out.

For Iron Man and Batman, being high-profile was nothing.

But looking at their reactions, as if their jaws were about to hit the floor, the viewers felt that they were unusually cute.

That TV image was turned into all sorts of GIFs by Internet whizzes, and they spread like crazy on computers and phones; they were already massively popular on F2F.

After shocking everyone, including the three other bigshots at the scene, with one move, it was impossible for Colonel Rhodes not to become popular.

Luke was stunned when he saw the news. “Is Colonel Rhodes in the wrong line of work? Maybe he can decide to be a talk show host in the future?”

Selina was already roaring with laughter.

She couldn’t restrain herself the way Luke could.

After all, Luke was already used to seeing all sorts of ridiculous GIFs in his previous life. He didn’t know whether to laugh or cry when he saw the “four stupefied bigshots” GIF, to say nothing of Selina, who was naturally lively and liked to laugh.

When they checked in at the police department, Dustin gave Selina a strange look when she looked at him before entering his office and suddenly ducked to the side and made wheezing noises. He gave Luke a questioning look.

Luke said helplessly, “She saw Colonel Rhodes’ ‘ex-wife’ last night; you understand.”

Stumped for a moment, Dustin then burst out laughing and dropped his pen. “Let me laugh too. Hahahaha, it’s so funny.”

Luke was lost for words.?It’s because you don’t have an ex-wife, right? Otherwise, you wouldn’t be smiling so happily.

What a pity that Dustin and Jennifer, the former lawyer, were doing very well. They had a candlelight dinner at least once a week, and were perfectly in love.

It wasn’t that Luke wanted to spy on his boss’s private affairs, but that the multifaceted system was growing rapidly, and it was very hard for him not to notice.

Also, he was more worried about Dustin’s personal safety, not because he wanted to watch the show.

At that moment, a bald man stuck his head in. “Boss, what’s so funny?”

Dustin was still smiling, but he waved his hand. “John, when did you become so polite? Get in here.”

John snorted.?Do you think I’m giving you face? Even when Walter was around, I didn’t give him any face.

In fact, the person Sergeant John McClane respected the most was Luke. After all, Luke had saved his ex-wife’s life.

Curious, however, he couldn’t help but ask again, “What’s so funny? Selina’s laughing outside too. You guys…”

He didn’t finish the sentence, but everybody knew what he meant.

Luke smiled at him. “We’re talking about Colonel Rhodes’ ex-wife.”

Stumped for a moment, John then burst out laughing. “Holy sh*t! So it’s that, pfft~” He gestured wildly as he laughed.

Luke, Dustin and even Selina stopped laughing and looked at the middle-aged man strangely.

John laughed and realized that something was wrong. “What’s wrong? Why are you looking at me?”

Then, he realized what was going on, and his face darkened. He slammed the case report down on Dustin’s desk and snorted before he left.

The three people in the office looked at each other in bewilderment for a moment, before they burst out laughing again.

Thankfully, Selina entered this time and Luke closed the door, and the atmosphere in the room was cheerful.

There was no other reason for it. It had to be said that when it came to a profound understanding of the formidable might of an ex-wife, Sergeant John definitely ranked among the best.

Although his ex-wife wasn’t a bloodsucker, nor did she demand money from her impoverished husband, this without doubt made John even more depressed.

Not only was he unable to watch his daughter grow up, he couldn’t even undertake the simplest responsibility of giving her money, which hurt his pride.

When all was said and done, John really wasn’t a scumbag.

It was just that he and his ex-wife had different views on life; they didn’t hate each other. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have risked his life to save his ex-wife during Christmas twice.

They were all colleagues. How could they laugh in front of him?

So, they had to close the door first.

Luke and Selina left the police department soon after that.

Justin’s case hadn’t been given to them. Supposedly, the commissioner directly put the Chief of Police in charge.

Luke and Selina were small fry who clearly weren’t qualified enough to participate in this matter.

They were also connected to Stark Industries, and they probably wouldn’t be allowed to go.

Stark Industries itself simply handed over the evidence and didn’t put any pressure on the police; they just asked that procedure was followed.

Given due procedure, Justin would definitely go to prison.

In the next few days, the outside world was in turmoil. Luke and Selina had dinner at May’s place, and everything was normal.

After plowing through several famous crime cities in America, Luke’s clone finally returned to New York.

Because Batman had shown up in New York, his clone no longer used the Batman alias in the last two days, nor did it break bones again on a large scale. Instead, it directly made more than 50 notorious gang bigshots and their bodyguards disappear.

The experience and credit points he earned from this were a lot less, but it took very little effort.

There were at least 30 bigshots like these in any of the cities.

He just chose the most notorious ones who basically didn’t require extra investigation to confirm that they were gift bags of experience.
