Chapter 88 Home Visit
While Ibel and Virgil were arguing with each other in the parliament over the missing gold, Luke, Shelley, and Pisco were gathered around a table and feasting on the steak on the plate.
Pisco is eaten very generously, with a large piece of steak cut in the middle, half of it inserted and the whole thing stuffed into your mouth.
Then he poured a whole glass of red wine into his mouth and chewed it. The juice and wine flowed out from the corners of his mouth. He also praised it while eating: "Detective, this steak is so delicious! It goes well with wine!"
Luke and Shelley's eating habits are a little more restrained, but they are still a little far from real dining etiquette.
Cut off a piece of beef and put it in your mouth.
Smooth, soft and juicy, it is a pleasure that is difficult to express in words. Take another sip of red wine and your taste buds will feel comfortable in all directions.
Jean Luke couldn't help but admire: "The food cooked by the congressman's private chef is awesome. The food provided in our bureau canteen is far different from this...the taste is far different."
What do you think?"
Shelley replied: "Detective, we never eat in the station cafeteria."
→?
Luke felt like a shot in his heart. He basically had three meals a day in the bureau cafeteria. He didn't feel anything while eating, but after listening to Shelley's words, why did he feel so uncomfortable?
Unexpectedly, Pisco continued: "Yes! The food in the bureau's cafeteria is simply feeding pigs!"

Luke asked Pisco with a bad look on his face: "Pisco, when you entered my office, did you step in with your left foot first? Or did you step in with your right foot first?"
Pisco thought for a moment: "Detective, I don't remember. Does this... make a difference?"
"Before entering my office from now on, check the date of the day. Use your left foot on odd days and use your right foot on even days. If you make the wrong move... you should consider changing to a pair of robotic legs."
"Ah!" Pisco didn't know why he offended the detective, so he quietly asked Shelley: "Sister head, big sister head..."
"Shut up! If you eat your food and talk more, you may change your head too."
Pisco immediately buried his head.
Speaking of mechanical limbs, Luke remembered something and asked Shelley: "Did you enter Diagon Street when you were searching for Elf Clear Sky?"
When the detective asked about Diagon Street, Shelley frowned and replied: "Detective, Diagon Street is a mighty territory. In the past, people from the Public Security Department did not dare to mess with these mechanical tribes. The people on the pier didn't know what they were doing.
It was time to seek help from the mechanical tribe, so we did not enter Xiejiao Street.
Detective, do you think Elf Clear Sky is hiding in Diagonal Street?"
Luke said: "If Elf Qingkong is really hiding in the Cape District, we should not be able to find any clues after searching for so long. The Sheriff's Department has almost turned the entire city upside down.
Only this Diagonal Street..."
Shelley whispered: "I informed Whammy, and he said they would search Elf Clear Sky themselves. Detective, Diagon Street is different from other places and needs to be treated with caution."
"I know, I'm just asking casually. I've finished my portion and would like another one, do you guys?"
Pisco had already finished his portion and said quickly: "I want one too, a big one."
…
When Luke and the three of them had eaten three steaks, Representative Ibor finally came back.
He had already learned about Inspector Meteor's visit from his servant, and a soul-stirring debate put him in a very good mood.
"Inspector, if you were in the Parliament at that time, you would have seen Virgil in a panic. The collapse of the Thunder Tower has already embarrassed him, and today's city-wide demonstration has reduced his reputation to the lowest level.
I think other congressmen are questioning his ability, and this insidious villain will get the end he deserves."
Councilor Ibor gave Luke a big hug warmly.
Agent Thomas, who came back to protect him, saluted Luke.
Luke said: "Let them all go out. Representative Ibur and I have some things that need to be discussed alone. Don't let anyone disturb us."
Ibur also said to the servants serving here: "You all should go out, and don't let anyone in."
After everyone left, Ibel invited Luke to sit down and said with a smile: "This demonstration was so successful, the scale exceeded my expectations. Both the Parliament and the Government Affairs Office have seen my influence, and I will start to promote the Cape tomorrow."
Hong Kong renovation agenda.
I guarantee that it will be passed by Parliament soon."
"First of all, congratulations, Congressman." Luke then asked meaningfully: "About the Clover airship, have you hidden something very important from me?"
The Clover stabbed Representative Ibur like a needle and his expression immediately changed.
"I don't understand what you mean... isn't the wreckage of the Clover airship where you are?"
Luke lit a cigarette for himself, leaned on the back of the chair, and said slowly: "While you were surrounded by reporters for an interview, I received an important piece of information about the Clover airship. Some sources said... Clover
On the day of the accident, there was not only imperial tax money on it, but also more gold of unknown origin.
Just because of the appearance of the Imperial Navy and me, you threw that batch of gold into the sea, and as a result... it still can't be found..."
Luke shook his head in amusement.
Representative Ibur lost all the pride he had just now. His face was pale and his mind was thinking quickly about countermeasures.
There are imperial spies out there, so they definitely can't be defeated.
"Detective...this is a frame-up, this is definitely a frame-up! I said, if someone wants to kill me, it must be someone fabricating rumors to harm me.
You must believe me!"
"Congressman, don't be so panicked. Anyway, I have never seen that batch of gold, so I can say it has it or it doesn't. I absolutely believe in your innocence now. You are so rich... Look at this big building
House, you are the one who covets that bit of gold."
"Yeah, how could I covet those pornographic things..." Representative Ibur suddenly realized that his mouth was exposed, and he quickly looked at Inspector Meteor.
That smile was so frightening.
A dead silence fell in the room.
Representative Ibur sat there like a primary school student caught making a mistake, fidgeting and sweating profusely.
Luke slowly finished his cigarette and then said to Representative Ibur: "Do you want to know who told me this information?"
"who is it?"
"It's Viscount Iscolan."
"He, how does he know?"
"Don't underestimate the Blade Bearing Brotherhood. Moreover, when the ancestors of the Isklan family planted potatoes on this land, there was no Raging Wave City. He also told me a lot about the small conflicts between you councilors, and thought that you did
Got into a terrible trouble.
He asked me to convey to you that he can provide you with help. It is up to you to decide whether to accept it or not. I am only responsible for conveying his words to you."
Councilor Ibor was shocked at the information Luke revealed.
