Volume 1: Raging Waves City Chapter 16 Taking Office
the next day.
Luke, who had gotten enough sleep, stretched lazily and walked down the building.
Shelley was doing strength training on the horizontal bar in the living room. She was only wearing a tube top, and her abdominal abs were very eye-catching.
See Luke coming downstairs.
Shelley got down from the horizontal bar and picked up a towel to wipe the sweat off her body.
"How was your sleep tonight, Inspector?"
"Not bad. I'm just a little hungry. Anything to eat?"
Luke checked the time on his phone. It was 10:00 AM.
I've slept so long, I'd be surprised if I'm not hungry.
Shelley said, "There is breakfast I left for you in the kitchen. Please eat it first. I will go take a shower. I will take you to the bureau to meet your subordinates later."
"good."
Shelley went upstairs to take a shower and Luke went to the kitchen.
There was a plate on the dining table with bread, fried fish fillet and a cup of coffee next to it.
They are all cold.
It seems that Shelley got up early and has been waiting for me until now.
Hungry Luke finished his breakfast in just a few bites. Shelley was also quick. She took a shower, changed her clothes, and went downstairs.
Shelley twirled the car keys in her fingers and asked, "Inspector, can we go now?"
"Walk."
The genuine Cape District Inspector should be here by now, go meet him.
When leaving, Luke boarded Shelley's BU953.
When they drove to the foot of the clock tower, Luke asked Shelley to stop the car.
Shelley asked in confusion, " Inspector , what's the matter?"
The car stopped and Luke said, "Before going to the police station, I need to buy some clothes. I put some money on top of this clock tower. Go up and help me get it down."
"Yes, Inspector."
Shelley didn't ask any questions. He jumped off the motorcycle and climbed up the outer wall of the bell tower.
Luke also jumped off the motorcycle, and when he saw a hot dog shop across the street, he crossed the street.
“How much are the hot dogs?”
There was an old lady in the store. She knew Shelley who was climbing the wall and knew the vicious reputation of the Black Mamba of the Secret Service.
Seeing that Luke had just sat in the Black Mamba's car, the old woman quickly wrapped a hot dog and handed it to him tremblingly.
"No money, sir."
No money?
Is the Cape District so hospitable?
Luke took the hot dog and took a big bite. It was authentic and delicious, much better than Shelley’s fried fish.
"Mm! It tastes great, the bread is soft, and the sausages are baked crispy. Auntie, you are such a great cook! Prepare two for me every day from now on..."
ah!
The old lady almost cried when she heard that she had to prepare two hot dogs every day.
"Sir, two is a bit too many. My shop is small, my two sons are out at sea and haven't come back yet, and I have three grandchildren to take care of at home..."
"It's not like I won't give you money."
By this time Shelley had received the money from Clear Sky. She jumped down from the bell tower and walked across the street to Luke.
He handed over a stack of money: "Tan... Sir, you are really careless. You actually put so much money there."
Luke took the money and counted it.
A total of ten gold certificates, fourteen silver certificates and 5,430 Reichsmarks.
Then he asked Shelley, "Have you ever eaten other people's food without paying?"
Shelley looked at the old woman who was already trembling with fear.
"Sir, our Secret Service is protecting their safety. Do we need to pay her for eating a hot dog?"
When the old woman heard Black Mamba calling the strange young man "sir", she quickly said, "Yes, yes, yes... The Secret Service protects our safety, no money, no money.
From now on, I will prepare two hot dogs for adults every day, free of charge."
Shelley took it for granted.
Luke munched on a hot dog and asked Shelley, "Tell me, how did you keep this lady safe?"
"?"
"First, let's talk about where the two sons of Auntie are."
"This?" Shelley couldn't answer, so he asked the old woman, "Where is your son? Ask them to come to our secret service."
The old woman knew she was in big trouble.
Is the Secret Service a place you can go to?
Besides... I can’t go!
"Ms. Black Mamba, my sons went out to sea half a year ago and there has been no news. I don't know whether they are dead or alive..."
Shelley said to Luke: "My lord, it is very common to not be able to return from the sea."
"Why can't they come back? Are they dead, alive, or missing? Who went out to sea with them? If something happens to someone, someone should be held responsible and give an explanation to the family members.
Black Mamba, if you want to eat other people's food for free, you have to work hard, and protection cannot just be paid attention to.
This is the first case I have given you since I took office."
When the old woman heard that Black Mamba was in charge of investigating her son's disappearance, she hurriedly said, "No, no need. We can find him ourselves."
It seems that the Black Mamba's "100%" ability to solve cases has become famous.
Luke put a ten-mark note on the counter.
"I am the new detective of the Cape District Secret Service. You can call me Inspector Meteor. I hereby promise the residents of the Cape District that with my arrival, the Cape District will be peaceful.
Don't worry, as this is the first , I will definitely give you an explanation.
Walk!"
"My Lord, Inspector!"
Shelley didn't expect Luke to take the case so casually. Is the Secret Service directly under the royal family used to investigate such missing persons cases?
Besides , you haven't officially taken office yet.
But our detective has a strong background and can do whatever he wants.
"Hillm... send all your son's information to the Secret Service this afternoon. If it's too late, you know the consequences!" Shelley said to the old woman selling hot dogs, and immediately went after Luke.
The old woman watched the Black Mamba drive away with the young man who claimed to be the detective of the Cape District Secret Service, and then looked at the ten-mark bill on the counter.
I don’t know what the outcome will be after I provoked the Secret Intelligence Bureau this time.
well……
Luke, who had money in his pocket, asked Shelley to take him to find a tailor shop.
First, he customized several sets of clothes for different occasions, and then bought a ready-made suit to replace his "strange clothes".
I went to a hat shop and bought a gentleman's hat.
Go to a watch shop and buy a pocket watch.
Finally I bought a sturdy and easy-to-use cane for hitting people.
Clothes make the man, and saddles make the horse.
After changing into a new outfit, the whole temperament of a person changes greatly.
A new inspector should have some style when he takes office.
By the time I bought everything I wanted, it was already noon.
Shelley drove Luke to a stop in front of a three-story building.
There were two sentries standing in front of the building's door, and they immediately saluted when they saw Shelley.
Shelley parked the motorcycle aside and asked one of the sentries, "Is there anything special happening in the bureau this morning?"
"Captain Black Mamba...the new detective sent to us by headquarters has arrived."
Shelley looked at Luke beside him and continued to ask, "Where is he?"
"In the inspector's office on the second floor..." The sentry lowered his voice because there were outsiders present, "Because you were away, the new inspector has not completed the handover of the inauguration procedures yet, and he has gotten angry several times.
Be careful when you go up to see him, our new detective seems to have a bad temper."
Shelley said, "I see... I'll go up and help him cool down now."
