Super Detective in the Fictional World Chapter 365 – Conflict, and Do You Have Any More Questions?

Chapter 365 Conflict, and Do You Have Any More Questions?

Luke nodded in agreement.

How obedient a dog was depended largely on innate talent, but still on training in part.

A key factor which determined a dog’s habits was proper training by its owner.

The dog barked for quite a while, before one of the naughty kids finally called the dog back.

Luke could only shake his head.

Looking at the dog’s movements, he knew that it had pooped not far away from the couple.

That was really disgusting.

The man was clearly angry. He stood up and said something to the kids.

They confronted each other for a moment, before the man helplessly walked back.

Judging from their body language, the kids had clearly gotten the upper hand.

Luke could only feel sorry for the man.

What else could the man do? Fight the kids? If he beat up minors, he would certainly be put in prison.

But when he quarreled with them, it was impossible for him to suppress six aggressive and forceful hoodlums.

The couple then moved over a hundred meters away from the kids, and the conflict finally came to an end. Luke didn’t pay any more attention to them. After all, this was too common, and he had seen dozens of similar cases in less than a year as a police officer, all of which basically ended like this.

Once the kids turned eighteen, however, the world would no longer indulge them.

A lot of people with nastier characters wouldn’t hesitate to curse them out even more viciously, or simply punch them at the slightest provocation; this, too, was all too common.

At that time, they would have to become obedient and honest citizens, or they would end up becoming the dregs of society.

While he was mulling over this, Annie leaned in close and asked, “What’s on your mind?”

She was petite next to Luke at just 1.6 meters tall, but she wasn’t skinny.

Luke relaxed and chatted with her.

At six in the evening, Luke said goodbye to Annie. He had to return to the campsite. He could skip the afternoon since the students were all together, but he couldn’t skip the night patrol.

Annie was reluctant to let him go, but Luke just smiled. “Don’t you have my number? We’ll talk when we’re free. I’ll be spending a few more days at the campsite.”

Eden Lake Campsite was in the mountains and wasn’t covered by a base station, but Luke’s campsite was a popular one and had a phone signal.

Annie could use the landline to call him.

Luke waved goodbye at Annie and returned along the lake.

He could’ve taken Annie back to her cabin that afternoon.

But Luke wasn’t in a rush.

It wasn’t like he was only here for a day, or that he had never had a girlfriend before.

Some fruit tasted more delicious after a wait.

Walking along the lake, Luke soon reached the opposite side. The couple had started a fire on an open area near the lake, so Luke found them quite easily.

He went over and greeted them from a distance.

Only after they noticed him and the woman covered herself did Luke finally approach them.

The man rose and smiled. “It’s you. What a coincidence.”

Luke nodded with a smile and pointed at the other side of the lake. “I have a friend who works at the campsite over there. I was here to check up on her. Right, I’m Luke.” He stretched out one hand.

The man did the same. “I’m Steve. That’s my girlfriend, Janet.”

Luke nodded at the blond with a smile and said, “The kids from this afternoon are from a town down the mountain. They don’t seem to have a good reputation. You should be careful.”

Steve was stumped for a moment, before he nodded. “Thank you for the warning.”

Looking at his expression, Luke knew that he didn’t consider it a big deal. He could only warn them again, “They often vandalize things, like the campsite’s electric line and fence. You should keep an eye on your car and your personal belongings. If you’re in trouble, you can ask Stephen, the owner of the campsite over there, for help.” Stunned again, Steve then said much more sincerely, “Thank you, Luke.”

Luke nodded. “I’m going down the mountain. I wish you a pleasant vacation. Goodbye.”

Steve walked back after Luke left.

Janet asked in a low voice, “Why was he here?”

Steve smiled but didn’t mention what Luke said. “He told us to pay more attention to our safety. Right, he also told us that the owner of the campsite is called Stephen, and if we run into any trouble, we can ask him for help.”

Janet, however, wasn’t as dumb. She thought for a moment, then asked, “Did you notice his holster?”

Steve was stunned. “What?”

Janet pondered again, then shook her head. “He doesn’t look like a bad kid. He has an authoritative air about him, a little like… a police officer?”

Steve was lost for words. “Janet, he doesn’t seem older than twenty. How can a police officer be so young?”.

Janet laughed. “What if he just looks younger than he is? Unlike you, look at those wrinkles…”

Steve hugged her angrily and pressed her down onto the blanket. Then, nothing but the murmurs and chuckles of a couple could be heard by the quiet lake.

Luke returned to his campsite and set up a small grill. He casually roasted some meat for himself.

Lily came over again and chatted with Luke for quite a while.

Luke behaved the way any other person would with someone they had just met.

While she wasn’t refused outright, she didn’t make any progress either.

She certainly wasn’t as good at talking as a certain detective. In the end, another teacher called for her, and she went back to work, slightly disappointed.

Thanks to Lily, the students around them didn’t dare approach Luke.

However, after wandering around suspiciously for a long time, two girls finally summoned their courage to go over. “Are you a teacher?”

Luke couldn’t help smiling. “No.”

The girls looked at each other, and the bolder of the two asked, “Were… Were you the one who scared us the other night?”

Luke gave them a bright smile and waved his hand at them. “Come here. Let me show you something.”

The girls weren’t scared, as they were on open land next to the lake and surrounded by dozens of people.

They leaned in close to Luke, and he took out his badge. “LAPD. I’m now the instructor for your safety training in this camp. Do you have any more questions?” The girls’ mouths dropped open as they looked from Luke’s badge to his face.
