Chapter 16 Taking office
the next day.
Luke, who had had enough sleep, stretched and walked down the building.
Shelley is doing strength training on the horizontal bar in the living room. She only wears a tube top, and the waistcoat line on her abdomen is very eye-catching.
Saw Luke coming downstairs.
Shelley got off the horizontal bar and picked up a towel to wipe the sweat from his body.
"Detective, how did you sleep at night?"
"Not bad. I'm just a little hungry. Is there anything to eat?"
Luke looked at the time on his phone, it was 10:00 AM.
It's strange that I'm not hungry after sleeping until now.
Shelley said: "There is breakfast I left for you in the kitchen. You can eat it first while I take a bath. I will take you to the bureau to meet with your subordinates later."
"good."
Shelley went upstairs to take a shower, and Luke walked to the kitchen.
There is a dinner plate on the dining table with bread and fried fish fillets, and a cup of coffee next to it.
They are all cold.
It seems that Shelley got up early and has been waiting for him until now.
The hungry Luke finished his breakfast in a few bites, and Shelley moved quickly. After a while, he took a shower, changed his clothes and walked downstairs.
Shelley turned the car keys in his fingers and asked, "Detective, can you leave?"
"Walk."
The official Cape District Detective should have arrived at this time, so go meet him.
After leaving the house, Luke got on Shelley's BU953.
When they drove under the bell tower, Luke asked Shelley to stop the car.
Shelley asked doubtfully: "Detective, what's the matter?"
When the car stopped, Luke said: "Before I go to the bureau, I want to buy a set of clothes. There is a sum of money I put on the clock tower. Go up and get it for me."
"Yes, Detective."
Shelley didn't ask any questions, jumped off the motorcycle and climbed up along the outer wall of the bell tower.
Luke also jumped off his motorcycle, saw a hot dog shop across the street, and walked across the street.
“How do you sell hot dogs?”
Inside the store is an old woman. She knows Shelley who is climbing the wall and knows the murderous name of the Secret Service's Black Mamba.
Seeing Luke just sitting in the Black Mamba's car, the old woman quickly wrapped up a hot dog and handed it over shivering.
"Sir, no money is required."
for free?
Is Haijiao District so hospitable?
Luke took the hot dog and took a big bite. It was authentic and delicious, countless times better than Shelley's fried fish.
"Yeah! It tastes great, the bread is soft, and the sausage is crispy and crispy. Auntie, your skills are amazing! Prepare two for me every day from now on..."
ah!
The old woman almost cried when she heard that two hot dogs were prepared every day.
"Sir, sir, two is a bit too much. My shop is small, my two sons have not returned from going to sea, and I still have three grandchildren to raise at home..."
"It's not like I won't give you money."
By this time Shelley had already received the money from Qingkong. She jumped down from the bell tower and walked across the street to Luke.
Passing over a stack of money: "Tan... Sir, you are really big-hearted, you actually put so much money there."
Luke took the money and counted it.
There are a total of ten gold coupons, fourteen silver coupons and a Reichsmark with a face value of 5430.
Then he asked Shelley: "Have you ever eaten other people's food without paying for it?"
Shelley looked at the old woman who was trembling with fear.
"Sir, our secret service protects their safety. Do you still need to pay her for eating a hot dog?"
When the old woman heard Black Mamba calling this strange young man "sir", she quickly said: "Yes, yes, yes... the Secret Service protects our safety, no money, no money.
From now on, I will prepare two hot dogs for adults every day, free of charge."
Shelley seemed to take it for granted.
Luke gnawed on a hot dog and asked Shelley: "Tell me, how did you keep this aunt safe?"
"?"
"First of all, where are Auntie's two sons?"
"This?" Shelley couldn't answer, so he asked the old woman: "Where is your son? Let them come to our Secret Intelligence Service."
The old woman knew she was in big trouble.
Is the Secret Service a place where I can go?
Besides... I can't go either!
"Miss Black Mamba, my sons went to sea half a year ago and there was no news. I don't know if they are dead or alive..."
Shelley said to Luke: "My lord, it is very common to go to sea and not come back."
"Why can't you come back? Are you dead, alive, or missing? Who went to sea with them? If something happens to someone, someone should be responsible and give an explanation to the family.
Black Mamba, you have to work to eat people's food for free, and protection can't just stop at your mouth.
This is the first case I've given you since I took office."
The old woman heard that Black Mamba was responsible for investigating the case of her son's disappearance, and hurriedly said: "No, no need, we can look for it ourselves."
It seems that the Black Mamba's "100%" ability to solve crimes has become well-known.
Luke placed a ten-mark note on the counter.
"I am the newly appointed inspector of the Secret Intelligence Bureau of Haijiao District. You can call me Inspector Meteor. I hereby promise to the residents of Haijiao District that when I come, Haijiao District will be at peace.
Don't worry, as this is my first case in Haijiao District, I will definitely give you an explanation.
Walk!"
"My lord, detective!"
Shelley didn't expect Luke to take the case so casually. Is the secret service, which is directly under the royal family, used to investigate missing persons cases like this?
Besides, you haven't officially taken office yet.
But my detective has a strong background and can do whatever he wants.
"Hilm... send all your son's information to the Secret Service this afternoon. If it's late, you know the consequences!" Shelley said to the old woman selling hot dogs, and immediately went after Luke.
The old woman watched the Black Mamba run away with the young man who claimed to be the detective of the Cape District Secret Service, and then looked at the ten mark note on the counter.
I don’t know what will happen if I provoke the Secret Service this time.
well……
Luke, who had money in his pocket, asked Shelley to take him to a tailor shop.
First, I ordered several sets of clothes for different occasions, and then bought a ready-made suit to replace my "fancy clothes".
I went to a hat shop and bought a gentleman's hat.
Go to a watch store and buy a pocket watch.
Finally, I bought a civilized stick that is strong and can hit people easily.
A man depends on his clothes, and a horse depends on his saddle.
When you change your outfit, your whole temperament will change a lot.
The new detective should have some style when he takes office.
By the time I bought everything I wanted to buy, it was already noon.
Shelley drove Luke to a stop in front of a three-story building.
There were two sentries standing in front of the building. When they saw Shelley, they immediately saluted.
Shelley parked his motorcycle aside and asked one of the sentries: "Is there anything special happening in the bureau this morning?"
"Captain Black Mamba...the new detective sent to us by the headquarters has arrived."
Shelley looked at Luke beside him and continued to ask: "Where is he?"
"In the detective's office on the second floor..." The guard lowered his voice because there were outsiders present: "Because of your absence, the new detective has not yet completed the handover of employment procedures, and has already gotten angry several times.
Be careful when you go up to see him, our new detective seems to have a bad temper."
