Super Detective in the Fictional World

Chapter 169 Temporary Beautiful Seatmate

Should he go for something big on the trip to France?

When he returned, he could start his preparations to become a vigilante in Los Angeles. His experience and credit points would definitely skyrocket.

After making plans, Luke raised his head, only to see that Selina was still rubbing her belly. He was lost for words. “Are you a pig? Go clean up the kitchen now.”

Selina got off the couch reluctantly.

Luke called Elsa. “Elsa, there’s something that I need to talk to you about with Sheerah’s case.”

After about twenty minutes, Luke put down the phone and sighed. “I can only go with Plan B now. Let’s hope I can get what I want in the end.”

At seven the next morning, Elsa drove her car to Luke’s house and picked him up.

They then apprehended the homeless Bobby Max in the slums in the south.

After talking to the man, they checked into a hotel so that Bobby could clean himself up.

Then, they went to Sheerah’s villa. Bobby returned the diamond pendant and apologized to her.

In the end, Luke left Bobby at his previous apartment, which he hadn’t canceled the lease for yet, and told him to stay there until Luke got back from his trip. Then, he finally went to the airport.

Luke and Elsa boarded twenty minutes before the plane was scheduled to take off. They were just in time.

Sitting down, Luke narrowed his eyes and looked around.

Elsa knew what he was doing. She couldn’t help but ask, “Is everything fine this time?”

Luke nodded his head. “Trust me. We can’t be so unlucky every time.”

Elsa was immediately reassured. She knew how reliable Luke’s instincts were.

She yawned, but resisted falling asleep. She sent a text message to Sheerah.

Luke, on the other hand, took out a tablet and started to read an e-book.

It was eleven to twelve hours by plane from Paris to Los Angeles. Given the time difference, they would be arriving in the afternoon after taking off in the evening.

Luke’s body was much stronger than an ordinary person’s, or he would’ve collapsed under this sort of work pressure.

Most of the old detectives of the Major Crimes Division suffered from chronic conditions and had to quit field work after turning forty.

In any case, once he got Elementary Self-Healing, Luke would be able to heal his left hand.

By then, he wouldn’t be scared of physical wounds at all, since he could just heal them.

Mental pressure would be nothing for him, too.

Elementary Self-Healing was the most important trump card for him.

With this ability, he would be able to fight criminals every night without worry.

Life was easier for other superheroes because they had wealth or super abilities, but Luke didn’t.

He had to work hard within the rules of the system, and his greatest asset was his health.

Shortly after Luke and Elsa sat down, Luke’s seatmates boarded the plane. Luke put down his tablet and smiled at them.

Elsa was in the seat across the aisle, and Luke’s new seatmates took the middle and window seats next to him.

His new seatmates were two beautiful girls. One of them was more outgoing. She murmured something to her friend and changed seats with her so that she could chat with Luke.

Luke certainly wouldn’t pass up the opportunity to talk to a beautiful girl.

Although the girl he was talking to wasn’t as beautiful as the other one, her looks were certainly still above average, and she was very approachable.

They chatted in low voices. In the end, the more beautiful girl joined their conversation, too, except that she didn’t talk as much as the first girl.

Luke could tell that she wasn’t shy or inarticulate, but just subconsciously keeping a distance from strangers.

It wasn’t a bad thing for someone who was on a trip.

מב

However, the other girl was much less guarded. She revealed a lot about herself even when Luke didn’t deliberately ask her anything.

The girl who talked to him first was called Amanda. She was a high school sophomore.

The more beautiful girl was Kim. She was Amanda’s best friend.

Their school was shut down for half a month because the teaching building was being renovated, so the girls had seized the chance to take a trip to Paris.

After being a detective for a long time, Luke noticed a lot of details about the girls.

They had decent and not truly elite education, and weren’t really wary of the outside world.

Kim paid more attention to her privacy and safety, while her bestie just blabbed everything

Whatever Kim kept to herself, Amanda would just reveal unconcernedly.

Amanda must have led a sheltered life all this time, and Luke was somewhat worried about her safety now that she was far away from home.

But he was reassured after learning that the girls would be staying with an older family member of Amanda’s in Paris.

If that was the case, Amanda had every reason to be carefree. Her relative would warn her of what she should pay attention to.

However, Luke still couldn’t help but tell her certain things that she should avoid, such as... talking to strangers.

Amanda was amused. “Are you saying that I shouldn’t be talking to you?”

Luke shrugged and said, “Well, it’s a pleasure to meet you. But I live in Los Angeles anyway, so it’s easier for you to verify my identity. You won’t be able to identify strangers as easily in Paris.”

Kim didn’t say anything, but nodded slightly in agreement.

Amanda obviously didn’t consider it a big deal. She soon jumped to other topics.

They chatted on and off for a while, until they were tired and closed their eyes to get some rest.

After they woke up, they talked for another while, until the plane landed.

They exchanged numbers when they disembarked

Luke told her that he was on a work trip, and that he wasn’t sure if he would have time to visit Paris with them after he finished his job.

Amanda felt somewhat regretful, but not too much.
