To Show My Thanks
“Officer, that’s not how it works!” the blond man said, sticking out his tongue. “The horse is your responsibility! You were riding it when everything got wrecked. So, you have to pay!”“That’s right! He’s right!” the others chimed in, nodding in agreement.“Hey, that’s enough,” Bella cut in sharply. “We were chasing a thief! If you ask me, the thief should be the one paying for all this. You should go find him.”She grabbed the list from the blond man and gasped. “What?! Nine thousand dollars? Are you serious? For some pots and pans? You guys… you guys are nuts!”“Officer,” the blond man said with a fake smile, “it wasn’t just pots and pans. There was medicine too—really expensive medicine! My list is accurate. You can check it! We don’t care about that bag thief. You broke our stuff, so you have to pay.”Suddenly, Luke Sullivan burst into wild laughter. Everyone turned and stared, confused.“Hahaha…” Luke couldn’t stop laughing. He took the list and flipped through it, laughing eve
Do You Know My Rules
The office went completely silent when everyone saw the big bag of money in front of Luke Sullivan. The thugs who had come to get money from him stared with wide eyes, almost drooling."Officer Sullivan, I can't thank you enough," Sophia said with feeling. "You fought to save my hand! Without you, I can't imagine what would have happened to me! This hundred thousand dollars is nothing. If you don't take it, I'll be very upset! Please accept it!""Ahem..." Before Luke Sullivan could speak, Vincent made a strange cough and stepped forward to talk to Sophia . "Ma'am, you can't do this! We have rules in the police department. If Luke Sullivan takes your money, he'll be breaking our rules!""Stop!" Luke Sullivan quickly cut Vincent off and snapped, "Mind your own business!""You!?" Vincent tried to glare at Luke Sullivan, but Luke stepped forward and pushed Vincent aside with his shoulder. "The money's not for you, are you jealous?""You!?" Vincent's face turned green with anger."Miss So
Luke’s Outrage
When Luke Sullivan started talking street slang, everyone in the police station froze - both the cops and the troublemakers."Bro...I..." The blonde's face turned purple. "I...I don't know what you mean.""What the hell!" Luke yelled. "How are you on the streets if you don't know this stuff? Are you a baby? Listen up - red lips means if you slap someone, you pay them with red bills. White knife means if you cut someone, you pay with silver. Golden finger...""I get it!" Bella cut in. "Golden finger means if you cut off someone's finger, you pay them with gold!""Exactly!" Luke gave Bella a thumbs up, then turned back to the blonde. "We're in a police station, so we can't get too bloody. I'll pick the first one - red lips! You asked me for two thousand dollars, but I gave you ten thousand - almost five times more. So you should take five slaps from me, back and forth. But I hit hard, so I'll give you a deal. Just two slaps, and the money's yours!""What?!" The blonde was shocked. He
Case not Completed
In Team A's office, Luke Sullivan pinned the photo of himself and Lila Davis taken at the gravesite onto the center of the whiteboard. By displaying this photo, it marked the official closing of the Maimed Case.Looking at the whiteboard filled with case information, Luke Sullivan felt a deep sense of accomplishment. From the beginning to the end of the Maimed Case, he had put in tremendous effort. Though the Crime System had helped him, his own persistence played a key role. Thinking back on all the ups and downs during the investigation, Luke Sullivan realized he had actually become somewhat addicted to the process.Luke Sullivan stared blankly at the whiteboard, lost in thought. He didn't even notice Bella approaching with the money he had dropped."Hey boss, still daydreaming?" Bella held the few hundred dollars in her hands and laughed. "To be honest, I had my doubts about you! It's truly a miracle!" After expressing her amazement, Luke Sullivan remained unresponsive. He kept s
You’re Wrong about Something

Just like at the Grand Piano Competition years ago, no one had mentioned Lila Davis's name to her.But when Detective Luke Sullivan brought up Lila Davis, Sophia Young didn't look surprised at all. She acted like she knew the name well. In fact, she seemed to already know that Lila Davis was the one who had attacked her!

The Truth Behind the Maimed Case
Sophia Young forced a sad smile and sighed, "Maybe this is all fate! To get her revenge and cut off my hand, Lila Davis dug up my father's grave! I guess this was meant to be!""Oh..." As he heard this, Luke Sullivan suddenly understood. The person who had placed the blade for Lila Davis wasn't Sophia Young—it was Sophia Young's father!"Twenty years ago before the finals, we were practicing in Riverside Heights School's music hall according to the competition rules," Sophia Young remembered. "My practice time was set for three in the afternoon, and I had finished practicing. But that night, my father suddenly said he'd left something in the hall and told me to stay in the hotel while he went back! I saw my father looking worried and thought he must have lost something important. I was concerned and wanted to go with him, but he firmly refused! My father rarely spoke to me in such a strong tone, so I knew not to follow. I could only wait in the hotel since he wouldn't let me come alo

The Fruit Shop Deception
The BMW pulled away from the entrance of Dalton Fruit Co., leaving Luke Sullivan standing unsteadily on his feet.In response to his obvious flirting, Wendy Felix had only replied softly, "I'm sorry, I don't have a surgical knife with me today!"

The Pretense at the Fruit Stand
