Chapter 1628: Private Job, and Hallucination

Luke patted his head. “So, it’s fine for girls to be a little stupid – the main thing should be that they have good characters.”

Joseph immediately noticed a problem. “Didn’t you say it’s about looks?”

Luke chuckled. “Of course you don’t want ugly ones. Of course we’re only talking about beautiful girls.”

Joseph was lost for words.

After a brief silence, he changed the subject. “Luke, why are you insisting that I train in fighting? Girls don’t like that, do they?”

Luke raised an eyebrow and gave him his phone. “Take a short video for me when I punch the sandbag later. A 10-second clip is enough.”

Joseph didn’t know what was going on, but he did as he was told.

Joseph took a video of Luke punching the sandbag.

Luke played the video back and felt it was alright.

It wasn’t a photo, after all, and he had controlled his expression.

After sending the short video to Joseph’s phone, he said, “Show it to the girls at school tomorrow, preferably the older ones. Ask them if it’s super cool.”

Joseph: ...I’ve never seen such a shameless person!

No matter how he cursed, however, he did as Luke said the next day.

The result was exactly as Luke had expected.

The eyes of the older girls glowed when they watched the video of Luke, and some of them even flushed with excitement.

Puzzled, Joseph asked, “Is he really very handsome?”

The girls looked at him in surprise. “Of course. Look at his strength and his physique. He’s the perfect man!”

Joseph could only silently put his phone away and leave.

The girls wanted him to send them the video, but he didn’t hesitate to refuse. They were just a bunch of superficial women. There was no way Luke would fall for them.

They had to be at least like Selina.

That was the perfect girlfriend – she could make his barbaric older sister obedient, had beautiful looks and a great figure, and listened to Luke!

Just like that, a certain little brother was unknowingly led down the right path by his big brother, and he began to properly understand the issue of a girlfriend.

...

It was fun messing with his little brother and playing with little Cindy.

Five days later, Luke returned to New York on his own.

His time with his brother and sister came to an end.

Walter had called and said that there was something he needed Luke to do.

This was a private job. Selina, who was on vacation, didn’t have to come back.

Luke hadn’t taken on any private jobs in the police department for a long time, since he was no longer that minor detective from two years ago.

Now, he no longer needed to take on private jobs to earn money for research, nor did he need to worry about connections. Most of the cases he worked on also had nothing to do with superhumans.

The last thing he did that could be considered a private job was when Commissioner Nelson invited him to the Soderbergs’ private gathering, and Luke looked into the matter of the commissioner being set up.

Of course, it wasn’t for Walter’s sake that Luke was accepting this private commission this time.

Walter wasn’t Dustin and wasn’t that capable.

But this case sounded interesting, and Luke felt that he could take a look.

Back in New York, he called a number. “Lindsay, this is Luke. Can I take a look at your cousin right now?”

After saying a few words, he drove out and soon reached an apartment building at the intersection of West 88th Street and Central Park Avenue.

This apartment building was different from the ones in Clinton.

It was a high-end apartment near Central Park, and the monthly rent here was far more expensive than a monthly mortgage in New Jersey.

So, when Luke entered the apartment, he sat down in the public lounge that was to one side of the main entrance. Even if he flashed his badge, the security guards here wouldn’t let him in.

A moment later, a woman got out of a Maybach and waved at the driver to wait for her, before she quickly entered the apartment building.

After entering the apartment, she immediately looked at the public lounge.

When she saw Luke, she stepped forward and stretched out her hand. “Luke, it’s great to see you.”

Luke also stretched out his hand, only to be given a half-hug.

He was a little surprised. He patted her with his left hand in return. “Lindsay, you should be very busy. Let’s head straight up.”

It was none other than Lindsay Soderberg, the niece of the mayor of New York.

They were acquainted, but Lindsay had always been more reserved. They usually only shook hands when they met.

However, Luke wasn’t here today because of the mayor, but because he was interested in the case itself, so there was no need to be polite.

Stumped for a moment, Lindsay then smiled. “Thank you, Luke.”

This matter didn’t have much to do with her, but it had a lot to do with the mayor of New York City and her family.

She was indeed in a hurry. Hearing Luke’s words, she thought that he was being considerate.

Luke didn’t care about that.

Since this was a private job, it was only natural that the other party would be grateful!

They took the elevator to the 25th floor and reached an apartment.

Lindsay took out a key card and opened the door, and they went in.

What Luke saw was a spacious living room with modern furniture, but the place was in a mess, and far from what one expected of a high-end apartment.

There was nothing for Lindsay to be embarrassed about. It was her cousin, Cook, who lived here. “After what happened, nothing here was touched, to avoid affecting the investigation.”

Luke hummed and stopped her. “Wait a moment.”

He scanned the living room with his yellow lenses, and activated Sharp Nose and Mental Strength.

Ten seconds later, he shook his head calmly. It seemed that this was a wasted trip.

But he didn’t say that out loud. He simply gestured at Lindsay. “Let’s go and take a look.”

This was her cousin’s place. Naturally, she couldn’t let Luke look around on his own.

Lindsay didn’t think it was odd.

There were a lot of people who had weird quirks when it came to cracking cases, like making the sign of a cross on their chest before getting to work.

It wasn’t that strange for Luke to linger at the doorway, as if lost in thought, before he started work.

Passing through the living room, they saw all sorts of things on the couch not far away.

Apart from books, magazines, the remote control and wine bottles, there were all sorts of battery-powered toys, as well as expensive lingerie for at least three women.

Clearly, Mr. Cook had been having fun here.

Lindsay had been here before. She simply looked away in disgust and didn’t say anything.

Luke, on the other hand, noticed the smell of illegal drugs on the coffee table.

Although the table had been cleaned up and the smell was faint, it couldn’t escape Luke’s Sharp Nose.

Alright, it seemed that the case was basically solved. He sighed again in his heart. It made sense for a young master to fool around with a bunch of beautiful women and hallucinate when he was high.

Even if Mr. Cook said that he had seen a ghost, many people who were high would say the same thing.

In any case, it was a hallucination. It was normal for them to exaggerate.
