Super Detective in the Fictional World

Chapter 1504: Bighearted Selina and New Target

Jenny’s arrival didn’t affect the atmosphere at the family gathering, but even added to it.

With just a few words, she solved a bunch of small problems Luke’s grandfather, Drax, and Selina’s father, Mario, had in running the ranch.

As one of the top business bigshots in America, she had plenty of manpower and resources.
It was a piece of cake to solve the problems of running a “small” ranch.

In this regard, Luke couldn’t compare with her.

He didn’t rely on business to make a living, and his grandpa’s ranch wasn’t making a loss.
It was just small issues in moving forward.

Secondly, Robert’s misgivings were also dispelled by Jenny.

She promised that he would only need to attend certain meetings when it was absolutely necessary.

This might only happen once every few years or every decade — like last time, when Stark Industries shut down the weapons division, and Obadiah held a shareholders’ meeting.

Some of Catherine’s worries were also dispelled by Jenny’s explanation.

At the very least, Catherine now truly believed that Luke had relied on his skills and not killing people to obtain so much wealth.

It wasn’t that she didn’t trust Luke, but that she wanted more proof.

Jenny was the most famous business bigshot in America at the moment, and her words were very trustworthy.

Catherine didn’t think that Luke could fool a billionaire into putting on an act with him.

She wasn’t interested in reading the contract.

If Luke was lying, it was for their own good, and there was no point in pursuing it.

If the shares contract was real, there was no need to pursue it.

Catherine was very wise when it came to showing proper concern for her family.

Five days later, the three of them returned to New York together.

The atmosphere on the plane was a lot better.

On the way, a certain dog head wasn’t kicked in the butt at all, and was able to watch its show in peace and quiet until they arrived in New York.

Jenny gave Luke a farewell kiss, said goodbye to Selina, then got into her car and left.

Selina watched her car drive off suspiciously.
“Why do I feel like her attitude toward me has improved?”

Luke thought for a moment.
“Maybe because you’re more awesome than she is.”

Selina snorted.
“Is it a competition? There are plenty of people who are better than her.”

Luke shook his head.
“No, it’s that you’re more bighearted.”

Selina subconsciously lowered her head and looked at her chest thoughtfully.
“Hm, she really knows her place.”

Gold Nugget silently turned its head.
Are you dumb? Do you really not know what the fiend is trying to say?!

…

After a rare break, Luke finally started to pour all his energy into work.

This wasn’t his detective work, which wasn’t hard and didn’t require too much effort.

What he was focused on were the leads he got from the two new prisoners in Space 2.

Soon after throwing them into the space prison, Claudia and Hodge returned to normal.

In front of them was a completely separate prison.

They were in two separate rooms.
They could eat, drink, piss and sleep every day, but there was nothing else.

Every night, Luke would let them look at each other for five minutes, but they couldn’t hear each other.

They didn’t know any sign language, nor did they have any tools for writing or communicating.

These five minutes was like giving someone a glass of water every day in the desert so that they wouldn’t die of thirst.

In less than ten days, Hodge’s mentality collapsed.

This time, Luke didn’t specially use any super abilities.
He simply used normal psychology and hypnosis which was aimed at the weaknesses in Hodge’s mentality.

The man who loved Claudia soon fell to his knees.

However, Luke had no sympathy for them.

Did the innocent deserve it if someone could willfully slaughter them, traffic drugs and poison tens of thousands of people for love?

Hodge, whose mental defenses were weak, quickly started to disclose information.

As a reward, Luke gave them ten minutes to talk every day, but they couldn’t touch each other.

However, Hodge had kept some information to himself, so Luke went back to giving them just five minutes.

A few days later, Hodge couldn’t stand the loneliness, nor could he stand just five minutes where they could see each other but couldn’t talk.

He stopped resisting and quickly confessed everything he knew.

Since then, Claudia and Hodge met every day for ten minutes.

Claudia still hadn’t given in.

Even though she knew that Hodge had confessed everything, she didn’t say anything.

However, Luke wasn’t planning on getting rid of Hodge.

Hodge, who no longer had any more information to offer, could still be used as a tool to smash down Claudia’s resistance.

In any case, time was on Luke’s side, and he wasn’t in a hurry.

Besides, Hodge had given him enough information to investigate.

What Luke was best at was following clues.
Now that he was investigating the information he had obtained from Hodge, whatever Claudia knew wasn’t necessarily important.

Whether she liked it or not, she was locked up here for good.

Luke didn’t ask too much of a prisoner who was sentenced to life imprisonment.
They could just continue to enjoy themselves like Black Sky.

According to Hodge, they weren’t from some government agency.
At the very least, Claudia hadn’t said that she belonged to any government agency.

No one had arranged for him to follow Claudia.
It was just that he was… persistent.

Claudia was in charge of everything related to the drug trafficking, but based on some clues, Hodge speculated that she had connections in the American government.

After taking control of the cartel, the woman sold a tremendous amount of illegal drugs to the rest of the world, especially in the United States, and basically didn’t suffer any losses during this period of time.

Batman’s appearance didn’t affect her business.
Instead, the goods became more expensive and she made more money.

So, Claudia had powerful means of ensuring that the illegal drugs sent to the United States didn’t run into any problems on the way.

Conversely, there had been some problems with her goods In Europe.

Although the matter was resolved quickly, the process clearly wasn’t as smooth as in America.

Although Hodges didn’t have a concrete position, he had persevered in following Claudia, and she did have some trust in him.

In the last year in particular, he had access to certain networks.

For example, he had inadvertently memorized information about certain locations, people and distributors.

These leads were enough for Luke.

Whoever could help Claudia move twenty tons of goods into the United States in a year was definitely a major target worth investigating.

After a comprehensive analysis, the Level 2 clone arrived in Baltimore.

Looking southwest, Luke murmured thoughtfully, “What a nice place.
It’s so close to D.C…”
