Super Detective in the Fictional World

“I’m sorry.
Although the Diorama Killer is very artistic, I’ve always preferred to be straightforward.
I never thought I would see a serial killer come back to observe how her crimes are being cracked!”

He knew that Old Greyson had dealt with plenty of serial killers before who were smart and challenging, and that by telling Old Greyson who the criminal was, he had spoiled Old Greyson’s fun in hunting the criminal down.

Old Greyson’s expression was odd, but he nodded his head.
“Okay, got it.
But I’m afraid that I can’t have lunch with you if I’m going to investigate her.”

Luke chuckled.
“There’s still time.
We’re only leaving the day after tomorrow.”

Old Greyson nodded his head.
“Okay.
Have fun.”

Luke promptly rose, and Selina followed him in a hurry.

Old Greyson got up to see them off.

Such a courtesy was rare for him.
Even when his boss visited him, he hardly saw the latter off.

Luke and Selina were saying goodbye to Old Greyson at the door when three people who were chattering nonstop passed up.

Old Greyson stopped them.
“Nick, where are you going?”

Nick turned serious.
“Oh, Greyson.
We’re going to celebrate Henry’s birthday.”

Old Greyson nodded his head thoughtfully.
“Take my nephew with you.
He’s a young detective.
I’m sure you have a lot to talk about.”

He then looked at Luke.
“You have fun with them.
They know everything about this place.”

All three of them hesitated, but Old Greyson ignored it and demanded, “Take him with you wherever you’re going.” His back to Luke, he gestured at Nick.

Stumped for a moment, Nick nodded his head and gave a wry smile.
“Okay, fine.”

He turned his head and said, “Greyson, he’s your nephew, but she isn’t your niece, is she?”

He noticed Selina.
Nobody could fail to notice such a hot Latino girl.

Seeing the look on Old Greyson’s face, Luke extended his hand with a smile.
“I’m Luke.
Nice to meet you, Nick.”

The young man had short blond hair and a square face.
His grin was particularly heartening.

Nick was a nice guy.
He shook Luke’s hand and said, “Nice to meet you too, Luke.
This is…”

Luke said, “This is Selina, my partner.
We’re both detectives from the Major Crimes Division of LAPD.”

Nick’s expression turned shrewd.
“Are you…”

Luke chuckled.
“She’s like a sister to me.
Also, she’s quite easygoing.”

Selina waved at the three men with a smile.

The three young men all smiled back.
Since Luke and Selina were both good-looking and were clearly close to Old Greyson, they certainly couldn’t turn the two of them away.

Old Greyson said, “Okay, you can go now.”

He didn’t really care what the three young men’s plans were.

Old Greyson himself “helped” newcomers adapt to the job with his “special training.”

He was a prank master.

And quite a few of his men had developed a similar hobby.

Luke, Selina and the three men made conversation as they went downstairs.

After they introduced themselves, Luke and Selina got to know them better.

The youngest was called Greg.
He was a sunny boy who still looked like a student.

The last one was called Hodges.
He was almost forty and balding.
He looked rather solemn and uptight.
