Chapter 433 Professional Hitman and Jeff’s Request for Help

At the neighborhood beer party previously, Natalie’s distinctive dish had been the jewel of the table, so Luke hadn’t touched it.

Now that he had a chance to finally taste it, he shook his head regretfully and said, “I prefer spicy poached fish.”

Hearing the name of the dish, Selina subconsciously covered her belly. “Is it very spicy?”

Luke was amused. “Relax, I won’t make that for you.”

He had made a huge tray of poached meat slices last time, and Selina had enjoyed it a lot, even fighting him for the meat. However, she had spent the next day clutching her uncomfortable belly.

Since then, she remembered that “poached” in Chinese cooking didn’t necessarily mean poached in plain water.

The next day, Luke and Selina checked in at the police department before slipping back out.

But Elsa still took note of Luke’s sungla.s.ses, and casually asked, “That looks nice. Why haven’t you worn them before?”

Luke said with a smile, “They’re a gift from Selina.”

Elsa looked at Selina doubtfully, only to see a pair of bright orange sungla.s.ses on her nose. “Did you give her that?”

Luke nodded with a smile.

The corner of Elsa’s eye twitched.

She didn’t really care what Luke wore, but she really liked the retro style that Selina was wearing

However, the 1,200-dollar price tag hurt, so Elsa had been reluctant to buy them.

And right now, those sungla.s.ses were on Selina’s nose.

For police officers, spending a few hundred bucks on sungla.s.ses was already a lot, and most of them wouldn’t be willing to spend more than a thousand on a luxury item.

But remembering Luke’s wealth, Elsa didn’t bother to say anything.

If you have money, spend it – that was how most people thought.

Luke was so young – no way he was just going to save it for his retirement, right? b.u.mmed, Elsa ruthlessly kicked them out, though she still felt conflicted. Couldn’t these two exercise a little more restraint? Even if no one was making a big deal about it now, a lot of people would definitely be jealous if they carried on like this.

But when Elsa recalled the other capable detectives, like the one who was especially unlucky and the retired soldier who was a great troublemaker, she felt that Luke and Selina’s matter was only a small issue.

After they left, Luke and Selina went to investigate a homicide.

Looking at the bodies of a bunch of ferocious-looking men in a rundown apartment building, Luke silently wondered if Damon and his daughter were back in town.

But after examining the scene for a while, he knew he was wrong.

Someone had indeed used a cold weapon here, and it was even a blade of some sort, but this person wasn’t as small as Mindy.

On the contrary, this person should be around Luke’s height.

Luke could even roughly guess the length of the man’s arm and the speed at which he wielded his weapon, from the blood splatters on the walls and the floor.

In short, the man was far more terrifying than Mindy.

Because of her height and strength, Mindy could only use a double-bladed saber and more tricks rather than force.

Whoever slaughtered the gang members in this room, on the other hand, had extraordinary physical strength.

Maybe the murderer didn’t understand forensic science, or maybe he was just too lazy to hide the details. Luke thus was able to draw a lot of conclusions from the blood splatters that were everywhere.

This was also the reason why Luke hardly killed anyone with a cold weapon; at most, it was just his rope darts or his metal b.a.l.l.s, which wouldn’t spill blood and leave bloodstains behind.

When he had to kill someone barehanded, he would only use just the right amount of strength so that n.o.body could estimate his build or how much strength he could have.

Going out the door, Luke said a few words to the guys from the forensics department and then left.

Selina had already run a check on the bodies and found that they all belonged to the same drug gang.

Seeing that there wasn’t any cash or goods in the apartment, Luke had already deemed this a gang fight; it was just that whoever had done the job was a hired mercenary or a professional hitman.

At most he would put the case to one side and come back to it if there were any leads later.

If there were no leads? Then forget it.

He couldn’t care less when or how many gangsters died.

In the car, he told Selina his a.n.a.lysis. “It’ll be very dangerous for you if you run into this person; he might be the same as Bullseye.”

Selina was surprised. “That good?” She remembered Bullseye’s unbelievable knife-throwing and shooting skills.

Luke nodded and said, “Even though he was only dealing with a bunch of good-for-nothings, he still ambushed them and blew up the heads of two men with a gun from close range. That means that he isn’t obsessed with using just cold weapons in battle, but that he’s a professional who will use every advantage possible. He has no bottom line, and even less mercy. If I could choose, I would kill him long-distance with a heavy machine gun.”

Selina found that strange. “A heavy machine gun?” Wouldn’t a sniper rifle work better at long range? Luke shook his head. “He might be fast enough to avoid shots from a sniper rifle. On the other hand, there’s a chance he might be accidentally shot and killed in dense gunfire from a heavy machine gun.” Selina was lost for words. After all that, the sniper rifle wasn’t reliable, and neither was the heavy machine gun? As they were speaking, Luke’s phone rang. He was surprised to see the number. Putting it on speaker, he said, “Hey, Jeff, are you having fun in Marrakech?”.

Jeff said, “Ah, that’s not… Hey, Karen, calm down…”

“Stop talking nonsense! Susinna and Susanna are in danger! Luke, you have to help us!” said Karen over the phone.

Luke turned the wheel and gestured to Selina.

He was in the middle of the road, and it would be better for him to stop the car first. Also, Selina and Karen had become a lot closer after the Tyrannosaur incident.

Given how fl.u.s.tered Karen was, Selina would be better than Luke at calming her down.

As he listened, Luke parked the car on the side of the road.While Karen was highly paranoid, she was quite a logical person and quickly explained the matter.

Susinna and Susanna were her twin daughters who were in ninth grade.

The day before Tim and Natalie moved into the neighborhood, Jeff and Karen had just sent the girls off to their school’s spring camp.

The spring camp would run for over two weeks, and there was still over a week to go.

Their daughters also weren’t little anymore and nothing had happened at their previous spring camps, which was why the couple had decided to go traveling.

In the end, the girls called Karen not long ago and told her that a terrifying rumor had surfaced in the camp that there was a serial killer in the nearby town.

Of course, the school denied it and claimed that it was just a rumor.

However, a student from that town said that people really had died, and the victims were all middle school students.
