Super Detective in the Fictional World

Chapter 962: A Coincidence, and Taking People Back to the Police Department

Lindsay looked anxious and angry again. “Mom, how did you become like this? You have no heart...”

Luke raised his hand. “Ladies, I think it’s best if you calm down. Hurting each other won’t solve the problem.”

The family of three looked at him in surprise.

This wasn’t something an ordinary police officer would say.

Most of the time, when it came to family disputes, the police would rather watch on the side and then take people back to the station according to procedure.

As the saying went, even an honest and upright official would have difficulty resolving a family dispute. The police also understood this.

If they got involved recklessly and subdued a drunkard who was hitting his wife, who knew if the howling wife might take out a gun and start shooting.

When it came to the rich, many police officers were even less inclined to take action.

It was too easy for a rich person to hire a lawyer. If a police officer intervened or took action, it was very easy for a lawyer to find a fault and blow it out of proportion, which would be the worst luck.

Luke, however, didn’t care about that; he wasn’t afraid of the other party hiring a lawyer.

He simply said, “Mr. Soderberg has already made his request, and Mr. Peterson has no objections. We can discuss it in the interrogation room at the police department.”

When he talked about the interrogation room, his tone grew heavier, and his eyes met the girl’s for a moment.

Lindsay’s thoughts moved, and she suddenly said, “Then I want you to be there the whole time.”

Luke found that odd. He hadn’t used any special abilities; it was Lindsay herself making this request.

But he didn’t want to argue about it here.

For the police, the most annoying thing was a public argument or watching other people argue.

If the family really wanted to argue, they could go back to the police department and argue in the interrogation room together.

When the time came, Luke would at least be able to drink and eat his snacks as he watched them bicker.

This wasn’t his own unique way of handling a case.

It was the countless senior detectives with bitter experience who told Luke and Selina that this was the best way to deal with most family disputes.

Jeffrey, Lindsay, and Monroe all agreed with Luke. Aurora couldn’t make a fuss even if she wanted to.

Luke gestured, and the six of them walked toward the exit.

But just as they reached the display wall near the exit, three people walked around it and bumped into Luke.

Both parties were stunned for a moment, before they both smiled and asked at the same time, “Why are you here?”

“A case,” they replied in unison.

This time, Luke raised his hand to indicate that the other party should speak first.

Detective Beckett said, “We’re here to talk to Lindsay Soderberg and Monroe Peterson.”

Luke said with a smile, “These two are involved in my case. They happen to be returning to the police department with us.”

He gave Beckett a look and nodded slightly.

Beckett instantly understood.

Since they were already going back to the police department, there was no way she would let go of this opportunity to question them!

Luke was implying that he wouldn’t stop her, and that it would just depend on whether or not she could deal with him.

They exchanged a swift look and finished negotiating in just a few seconds.

This was just a common tacit understanding between detectives, not telepathy.

Three cars arrived, and five went back to the police department.

Luke had just asked Selina to take the four people to the interrogation room, when Dustin called for him.

After asking Luke to come to his office, Dustin asked, “What are you doing? Why did you bring them back here?”

He wanted Luke to deal with the Soderberg family, not bring them back to the police department.

The Soderbergs weren’t ordinary rich people in New York. Dustin really didn’t want to associate with them at all.

He had had no choice but to take this assignment from his superiors.

In fact, there was a lot of talk about this family in the police department.

Nobody in the police department wanted to touch this bad luck when it came to family matters, so it had been decisively reported to HQ.

The Soderbergs’ annual donations were distributed by HQ.

Now that this family had to be cleaned up, it was HQ who naturally had to do it.

Dustin had Luke and Selina go, firstly because he knew that they weren’t mentally vulnerable to the rich; Luke, after all, was rich himself.

Secondly, Luke and Selina had made a lot of contributions, but there was no hope of them getting promoted in the short term. They couldn’t lose their jobs, but they could be suppressed. With Dustin around, however, that wouldn’t happen.

Seeing Luke beam at him, he said helplessly, “Tell me, how can we get rid of them quickly?”

Luke took out a lollipop, not forgetting to give Selina and Gold Nugget one each. He then said with a smile, “Why chase them away? Since they’re big clients of our police department, they have the right to occupy an interrogation room. Let them slowly talk it out inside.”

Stunned for a moment, Dustin asked a crucial question. “But someone has to keep an eye on them, right?”

He was really afraid that if a fight broke out, it would be a big problem if someone was injured or killed.

Luke raised his hand. “I’ll stay inside and watch the show.”

Dustin was lost for words. Are you planning to wear this family out?

But on second thought, what else could he do but drag it out? Be the judge?

The case had been pushed around because nobody wanted to be the judge.

Dustin quickly sorted out his thoughts and nodded decisively. He pointed at Luke and said, “You can keep an eye on them. They can stay in the interrogation room for as long as they want. I’ll have someone else give you a quiet room to work on the case.”

Luke curled his lip. “Okay, boss. Don’t be late for the party tonight. Don’t work overtime.”

Dustin lowered his head and started handling files. “Send them away first, then we’ll see.”

Luke chuckled. “From what I can see, Mrs. Soderberg doesn’t have much stamina, at least.”

Dustin couldn’t help but raise his head. “You can tell?”

Right after that, he got it.

Luke had a good understanding of human anatomy and keen observation skills. It wasn’t hard for an expert marksman and fighter to make such a judgment, not to mention that he was a police officer who could crack cases.

Thinking that, Dustin’s heart settled.

Sending Luke had indeed been the right decision. Luke was always careful before he took action.

After Luke and Selina left, Luke told Selina to prepare something for the party.

Looking at the shopping list on her phone, Selina found it odd. “Why is there no meat?”

There was still meat at home, but they were mostly Gold Nugget’s frozen goods.

Today was the first party in months for Dustin’s people, and also their first private gathering in New York. Serving Gold Nugget’s days-old frozen meat wouldn’t be good.

Luke and Selina ate fresh meat almost every day. The meat was kept in the fridge overnight at most, and what they didn’t finish in two days would become a snack for the dog head.

In any case, to the dog head’s taste buds, there was practically no difference between day-old and several days-old frozen meat.

In this regard, it wasn’t as unreasonable as humans.

Actually, most people couldn’t tell the difference between meat that had been frozen for three days, five days, and a week.
