All eyes turned to Luke as he pointed at himself. "I'm not feeling well, so I'm taking a personal day. You all can enjoy your stakeout without me."

His words instantly made the entire office deathly silent. The group of investigators who were ready to start working all froze in place, staring at him in disbelief. Luke could see in their eyes that they thought he must have lost his mind. Captain Jake Sheldon was the head of the Special Crimes Unit. The investigation plan had already been set in motion, yet here he was, suddenly asking for the day off? Not only that, but to say it so brazenly - how stupid could he be?

Luke knew that even if it really was some kind of emergency, there was no need to bother Captain Jake about it; usually just letting a Section Chief know would suffice. To ask for leave from the Captain himself as he had done was like slapping him in the face. And of course, hearing his disrespectful tone, Captain Jake's expression darkened immediately.

"Hey..." Vice Captain Vincent Parker jumped at the opportunity. He tilted his head and yelled, "Luke Sullivan, have you lost it? Looks like that detective badge has gone to your head. Don't you see everyone's working overtime to catch this thief?! How can you even look at yourself in the mirror?"

With Vice Captain Vincent's words, other investigators also began jeering at Luke, pointing fingers in disgust. Captain Jake only shook his head in annoyance before turning and leaving the room.

"See that?" With the captain gone, Vice Captain Vincent became even more arrogant. Pointing a finger at Luke, he laughed coldly, "Luke Sullivan, you're just being pathetic now. Asking for a day off just because you're feeling under the weather? What's wrong? Got cramps? Need someone to buy you some Midol?"

Vice Captain Vincent's words became increasingly crude. The office rang with laughter at his taunts.

But suddenly, among the laughter, Luke grabbed a mug full of coffee and hurled it straight at Vincent's head! Vincent was caught off guard by the projectile and quickly raised his arm to block it, but even though he deflected the mug, the scalding coffee splashed all over him.

The mug shattered as it hit the ground.

"Luke, have you gone insane?!" Vincent's rage exploded. He was about to point at Luke and start lecturing when Luke charged at him; like a wild animal, he roared and rammed straight into Vincent with his shoulder, sending the lieutenant flying backward.

Vincent's back crashed hard into the whiteboard, sending it rolling across the room.

"Back off, pig!" Luke pointed right at Vincent and cursed wildly, "Vincent, I've had enough of your crap! Who the hell do you think you are? Didn't you say you wanted coffee? Had enough yet?"

Luke's sudden outburst stunned all the investigators around him. No one expected it. The usually mild-mannered Luke, how had he become so violent?

"Luke, you maniac!" As the lieutenant of the Special Crimes Unit, how could Vincent tolerate such disrespect? His face was bright red as he got to his feet again, ready to throw down.

Yet Luke was the strongest fighter around; he had little to fear as he stepped forward, ready for the brawl.

By this time, other investigators could no longer stand by and watch. They all quickly stepped forward to stop the escalating situation. However, everyone only wanted to please the lieutenant, trying to restrain Luke while letting him get in a few shots to save face.

Yet against their expectations, Luke's strength was incredible. With just a sweep of his arm, the investigators, who were all in good shape, went flying to the side. Someone even crashed into a cubicle, sending a computer monitor crashing to the floor.

Within moments, the office was in chaos. Even Section Chief Priscillia stepped forward to try to defuse the situation. Bella Lane hurried toward Luke instead.

"You idiots!" Luke roared, pointing at the crowd, "All the times you've pushed me around, I remember everything! I'm warning you now, if anyone still has the nerve to mess with me after today, don't blame me for what happens!"

His violent words had Bella frozen in fear. All the investigators were completely confused. No one could figure out why the previously gentle and meek Luke Sullivan had become so wild.

"Luke Sullivan!" Vincent's lips trembled with rage. "You, you can kiss your career goodbye!"

"Who gives a damn?!" Luke's eyes bulged as he shouted back in contempt, "This is the Special Crimes Unit? What a joke! Me being a cop, I can't even face myself in the mirror!"

Finishing his outburst, Luke pushed up his sleeves, even whistling a tune as he made his way out of the office. As he left, he deliberately slammed the security door harder than necessary, making the entire office shake.

Only after he had been gone for some time did someone dare to speak out weakly, "Did Sullivan lose his mind? What kind of cop insults his own badge?"

"Yeah! He was so quiet before, what happened to him? Almost like some kind of gangster!"

"Luke... Sullivan..." Vice Captain Vincent was shaking with anger. He gritted his teeth as he yelled, "You! Just you wait!"

  • My Own Team

    "None!" Luke shook his head. "I don't have any connections at the Rochester branch!""Me neither!" Bella said, thinking hard. "I don't even have a classmate there! How about we ask Team Leader Paige ? Maybe she could help?""Let's not!" Luke shook his head again. "The Floating Corpse Case still hasn't been solved. She's already going crazy! Let's not give her more problems!""Oh... then how about Raymond ?" Bella asked again. "Team Leader Raymond has lots of connections. How about calling him?""Oh? I actually know someone! Lance could work!" Luke said. "His stepdad is on the city council. If he wants to help, this should be easy, right?""But that guy is from Team B!" Bella looked worried. "Aren't you scared that Team Leader Priscillia would...""Ha! This time isn't The Maimed Case!" Luke thought as he spoke. "I'm just looking into a regular old case this time. It's not like I'm doing anything behind anyone's back. What could she do even if she knew?"While they talked, Aaro

He could not be wrong! At that moment, Luke felt like he couldn't believe it!"This is too much of a coincidence! A photo of Yasmine just appeared in a wallet I picked up randomly? Who is the man Yvonne caught? How is he connected to Yasmine ? Could this photo be linked to the Slaughter Case?" Luke thought."Oh, right! The Gen-Kan hexagram!" Luke suddenly remembered the Crime System. Could this photo be the main subject of the adventure he was going to face today? Did the photo show how the case would develop? If that was true, then the suspect Yvonne caught was a very important person to his own case!Luke felt the case was at stake. He started digging in the garbage bin. He picked up the bank cards and receipts that he had just thrown in the trash. He didn't leave a single piece of paper behin

Everything looked normal. The excitement Luke had felt this morning was gone. "Oh my Gen-Kan hexagram!" he thought. He had believed today would bring a big break in his investigation. Maybe he would find an important clue in the Slaughter Case. Or maybe his dream girl, Angela , would finally go on another date with him! But it was almost four o'clock and he had nothing. Nothing at all."Could it be... that I'm looking in the wrong direction? Or maybe I missed something important?" Luke wondered. Just then, his phone rang. It was Aaron. Luke's eyes lit up and he quickly answered."Luke," Aaron said, "I found something about that Samuel guy you wanted me to check on.""Oh?"
