Super Detective in the Fictional World Chapter 846 – New Home Completed, Reporting for Duty

Chapter 846: New Home Completed, Reporting for Duty

The second floor had a living room, a dining room, and an open kitchen. The third floor had a study, and the fourth floor had Luke’s room. The fifth floor had Selina’s room.

But only the main layout of the house was done; Luke would have to slowly install the various security measures himself.

Selina couldn’t help him. She wasn’t that skilled.

After enjoying the fruits of their labor from the past week, the two of them returned to the second floor. They opened the oven and took out the roast chicken and steak which they had prepared beforehand.

Luke even took out beer in a rare move, and raised a bottle. “A dinner party to celebrate the completion of our new house. Cheers!”

“Cheers!”

“Woof!”

The three bottles of beer clinked together.

…

The next day, the two of them went to work, and Gold Nugget stayed at home.

Luke had already given it control over some of the new defense mechanisms — via a tablet.

As long as it chose the corresponding defense mechanism on the tablet, it would be able to deal with anyone trying to break in.

For now, there were only two simple defense measures: electric shocks and tear gas.

Gold Nugget was reluctant to stay home alone and watch the place.

However, Luke said that if their new place was ruined, it would ruin everybody’s mood.

The dog could only stay at home for a few days.

At half past eight, Luke and Selina arrived at NYPD HQ.

It was the classic square and red building that was old and dull. As the oldest administrative institution in the United States, however, NYPD was actually very advanced.

In fact, Luke really wanted his business to run out of an old historical building, but that was just a dream.

After finding Dustin’s office, Luke knocked on the door.

Dustin said, “Come in. The door isn’t locked.”

He raised his head.

Looking at the two familiar figures, he dropped his pen and stood up with a smile, indicating for them to close the door.

He shook hands with them and asked, “Do you want coffee?”

Luke and Selina shook their heads. It was Selina who put the cake on the table. “We just had breakfast. You haven’t had breakfast yet, have you?”

Dustin sighed and deftly took out the cake from the paper bag and had a bite. “This isn’t Los Angeles. I haven’t gotten any snacks in days.”

Luke raised an eyebrow. “Are all your new subordinates so arrogant? Or petty?”

Dustin waved his hand. “That’s not it. They’ve been too busy to eat.”

Luke asked, “A major case?”

Dustin nodded, then shook his head. “It’s a big case; it’s just that it was the 15th Precinct which asked us to investigate.”

Saying that, he slapped his forehead and said, “I’m so damn busy it’s made me stupid.” He took out two documents from a drawer on his right.

“I’ve helped you sort out most of the procedures. You’ll have to handle the rest yourselves,” he said.

Luke smiled and gave the documents to Selina. “Thank you, boss.”

Dustin said, “You report directly to me here. As long as you don’t make any mistakes, I guarantee that nobody will come after you.”

Luke nodded. “That’s great. Boss, do we need to take part in the big case?”

Pondering for a moment, Dustin said, “Technically speaking, this matter isn’t part of our responsibility. You don’t need to follow up on it, just keep it in mind. We’ll talk about it when we find out more.”

Luke understood.

Dustin, Luke and Selina were now part of the Detective Bureau, which was directly under NYPD HQ.

All the cases in New York could be handed over to the bureau.

But these cases were either tricky or joint investigations, and the situation was a lot more complicated compared with L.A..

Dustin briefly described the case and told the two of them that they could check the relevant information in the police database after they settled their appointments.

Luke and Selina then tactfully left.

Dustin was a workaholic, and he never liked small talk with his subordinates.

However, he tried his best to take care of his people. He had a high EQ, and was indeed suitable to be the director of an operation department.

Before he left, Luke asked, “Boss, which department did Elsa go to?”

Dustin said, “HQ’s intelligence department.”

Luke chuckled. “Hehe, that’s a pretty good position.”

Dustin glared at him. “That’s true, but be discreet when you get information from her. She’ll make things easier for you.”

Luke saluted. “Yes, sir! Goodbye, sir!” With that, he ran off.

Selina smiled and said goodbye as well before she closed the door, and Dustin’s glared suddenly relaxed. He leaned back in his chair and murmured, “It’s good that you’re here. We can do something big now.”

Something had happened in New York recently, and many of the police departments were working overtime. It wasn’t easy for Dustin to adjust the deployment of police officers.

The biggest problem was that he didn’t know much about his subordinates.

He could only learn about them on paper, but that wouldn’t cover all their characteristics.

The only guy who was good at fighting was a troublemaker. He was a live wire compared with Luke.

Dustin was both excited and glad that he had shamelessly asked Luke and Selina to transfer over.

With these two reliable subordinates, he would have a lot of room to maneuver.

With Luke and Selina here, he could solve many tricky cases without needing to rely on his new subordinates.

In two months at most, his subordinates wouldn’t be able to hold on anymore. Some of them would collapse under the pressure, and he would be able to control the Detective Bureau.

Unaware of Dustin’s thoughts, Luke and Selina began with the familiar reporting procedure.

This was already Luke’s fourth time in a year, and Selina’s third time.

With Dustin’s prior arrangements, reporting was much simpler.

They got their pictures taken and their IDs, registered their guns and car, were assigned desks, and so on. They were done in an hour.

After putting their nameplates on their desks to indicate that the desks were occupied, they went to the intelligence department.

Looking at Elsa, who was busy in one corner of the office, Luke knocked on the desk and said with a smile, “Boss, you’re not getting better treatment here.”

Hearing his voice, Elsa smiled and said jokingly, “Talking nonsense again.”

After greeting Selina, she said, “Use my name from now on; this isn’t L.A., and I’m not your boss anymore.”

Luke shrugged. “You’re my boss. As long as Dustin isn’t jealous, no one will care.”
