Super Detective in the Fictional World

Chapter 209 Happy Birthday and Car Accident

They got along quite well after they introduced themselves.

Luke was young and approachable, and Selina was friendly as well as beautiful.

Nick managed to handle it, but both Greg and Hodges were obviously attracted to her.

On the second floor, Nick stopped and said, “Luke, Selina, we have a special plan for Henry’s birthday celebration. Would you like to hear it first?”

Luke and Selina certainly had no objections. They soon figured out the plan and agreed to take part.

They were here for fun, and the birthday celebration wouldn’t take too long anyway.

Selina, for one, liked the prank, and volunteered to play a bigger role.

Luke indicated that he could also help.

Everybody went downstairs now that Selina and Luke were on board.

Unable to refuse Selina’s request, Hodges gave her the tools he had prepared for the “crime,” while he and Luke got the substitutes which Selina provided: a new pair of silk stockings.

Half an hour later, a man reached the underground carpark, humming a cheery tune.

Luke almost laughed out loud. Henry, the birthday body, happened to be the funny-looking guy who had pointed out the way to Luke and Selina earlier.

No wonder Nick and his fellows wanted to “surprise” him. The man looked like someone you couldn’t help but tease.

Nick made a gesture that meant “go go go.”

Luke was lost for words. Did you learn tactical sign language to play pranks?

He followed them, while up front, Selina had already grabbed Henry.

Henry didn’t know what was going on at all. When he smelled Selina’s fragrance, he was wondering if it was Lancome Miracle, when his hands were seized in a hold and a few guys wearing big masks with the faces of former presidents on them rushed out.

Well, there were also two guys who were wearing black silk stockings over their heads.

Henry’s head was covered with a hood. The next moment, he was pushed into an SUV not far away, and the car drove off.

“Hey, guys, I’m just a regular worker. I don’t have any money. I’m just a lab assistant. Did you kidnap the wrong guy?” Henry was so nervous that his voice cracked.

He turned his head, only to see that the person who had locked his hands together was Michelle Borg, the incumbent president of America and a Latino woman.

Of course, she was only wearing a mask of said president.

She had the fragrance of Lancome Miracle, which Henry was quite familiar with as a technician who specialized in analyzing and identifying smells.

So, she was really a woman?

Right next to Henry was a guy who was wearing the mask of the previous president. He chuckled creepily and said, “Don’t try to fool us, Henry!”

Henry said, “Huh? My name is Hodges. You’ve got the wrong guy.”

“Hehe. Don’t fool us. Hodges has far less hair than you do.” The person next to Henry snorted.

The man in the passenger’s seat coughed in dissatisfaction. “Hodges is much more handsome than he is, alright?”

Henry said, “I’m exactly Hodges! Look at how handsome I am.”

Everybody was lost for words.

The car left the forensics center and quickly drove out of the city.

In the car, the man next to Henry continued threatening him. “Henry, do you know why you were captured?”

Henry shook his head quickly.

The man glanced at everyone and said slowly, “Because... surprise!”

Then, everybody took off their masks and silk stockings. “Happy birthday, Henry!”

Henry didn’t know what to say.

The guy next to him turned out to be Nick, Hodges was in the passenger’s seat, and Greg was the driver.

As for Luke and Selina... Well, who were they?

Henry was a bit confused.

Nick smiled. “This is Old Greyson’s nephew, Luke, and his friend, Selina. They’re here for your birthday celebration. Isn’t that great?”

Henry was rendered speechless.

He cursed out his friends for a long time, but then he noticed that the Latino girl, who had been wearing Michelle Borg’s mask, was observing him with a smile.

Henry finally stopped. Like Hodges and Greg, he was shy and anxious in front of beautiful girls.

He unleashed all his fury on his friends and didn’t dare look at Selina at all.

Selina held out her hand. “I’m Selina. I didn’t hurt you just now, did I?”

What could Henry say? Admit that he was weak?

He could only shake Selina’s hand with a fake smile. “Nice to meet you. You’re really a great fighter.”

Selina burst into laughter. “I’m just an amateur compared with Luke. He’s Greyson’s nephew. I’m here with him for fun.”

Everything got back on track.

Luke finally learned that their destination was a place called “Henry’s Hog Hideout.”

It was a special rural restaurant that reportedly had the most delicious roast pork.

Selina’s eyes glittered as she listened. “Is it really that delicious?”

Greg said confidently, “Trust me. My friend told me about this place. He would’ve taken us there himself if he isn’t sick right now.”

“I’m going to have a proper taste of that meat.” Selina cheered.

The atmosphere was more lively with Selina around.

After a while, Henry suddenly said, “Every one of my birthdays have been unlucky. I hope we don’t run into anything this time.”

Hodges said in a lofty tone, “Henry, there is no data to suggest that certain dates are linked to accidents or crimes.”

Right after he said that, Greg suddenly interjected, “Hodges, are you sure... Ahhhh...”

Everybody in the car screamed. Greg and Hodges, who were in the front, screamed particularly loudly.

That was because an old red convertible had suddenly shown up in their lane from the opposite direction.

More importantly, the red convertible was headed right for them at a speed of well over a hundred miles an hour.

Nick, Selina, and Henry were in the last row of the SUV, which had three seats, while Luke was seated in the middle of the car.

He was the first to react.

The moment he sensed danger, he lunged forward and turned the steering wheel.

But the SUV had just made a turn before that, and it was impossible for Luke to see what their surroundings were like.

Turning the wheel was already the best he could do.
