Chapter 477 Dollar, Is the Dog Food Delicious?
Selina said with a bitter face, “Am I just going to lie here?”
Luke said, “How about Dollar stay here to keep you company?” Selina: “…”
Amused, Luke left and soon returned with the tablet and the tiramisu he bought. “This should be fine, right?”.
Selina beamed. “Darling, you’re the best.” Luke pulled a small trolley over and placed the things by her side. He then called for Dollar, who was waiting eagerly. “Let’s go, Dollar, I’ll make you something to eat.”
Dollar immediately got up and ran out after Luke.
This basement was where they did their checkups, so it had to be very hygienic.
Luke wasn’t going to feed Dollar there. The dog ate so ravenously these days that it sent food flying everywhere. The food scraps weren’t a problem; the problem was that Dollar would lick them up off the floor, which was too much.
Luke didn’t want to smell Dollar’s saliva every time he went into the basement.
Back in the kitchen, he heated up the sheep’s milk for Dollar and asked, “Dollar, is the dog food delicious?”
Dollar barked once.
Luke said, “It’s good? Don’t you want to try another flavor?”
Dollar tilted its head, as if it was thinking.
“Too bad you’re too old; you can only have sheep’s milk and dog food. Also, you’re a dog, so you can’t eat anything that has high sugar or salt content.” As Luke spoke, he poured the warm milk into Dollar’s food bowl.
He pushed Dollar’s big head away when it came over. “I haven’t added the dog food yet.”
Dollar stuck out its tongue and waited obediently.
Pouring the dog food into the bowl and watching Dollar gorge itself, Luke had a complicated expression on his face.
After making arrangements for the two gluttons, Luke went out on his own to work a case.
It was impossible for Selina to go out; she couldn’t be parted from food today.
Driving to the crime scene, Luke looked at the environment and shook his head inwardly.
It was another shabby place.
The residents here wouldn’t cooperate with the investigation even if they knew something
Lifting the yellow cordon at the door, Luke walked into the house. Looking at the situation in the living room, he had a sense of deja vu.
When he tried to think why, he realized that it was almost identical to an earlier case of a drug dealers’ nest that had been wiped out.
The goods and money here had all been looted, and five drug dealers were dead.
Two had been shot, and three were chopped into several pieces by a cold weapon.
Of course, this wasn’t Damon and his daughter’s handiwork, but done by the same person as last time. Coincidentally, Luke had recently been following up on “Black Bones,” the gang that this bunch of drug dealers belonged to. Black Bones was one of the two gangs that were working together to try and deal with the Ghost Butcher.
Heaving a sigh, Luke turned around and left.
It would be very difficult to find the murderer in this case without a bit of luck.
But even if Luke found him, then what? If he wasn’t an arch-enemy of the drug dealers, then he was a rival.
There was no need for Luke to uphold justice for this bunch.
He took a detour on the way back and bought heaps of food from a siu mei shop before he went home.
Selina was reading case files in the living room when he entered the house.
Dollar was lying by her feet obediently and eating the popcorn that she tossed out every now and then.
The popcorn was sugar-free and fine for Dollar to eat, but it wasn’t filling.
That didn’t stop Selina and Dollar from enjoying it.
Hearing the door open, Selina turned around and jumped to her feet in excitement. “Is that siu mei? Is there suckling pig? And char siu?”
Luke said, “It’s mainly those.” These were the two things that this glutton liked best.
They washed their hands, and Luke boiled some vegetables before they started eating
Dollar plaintively watched the two of them eat as it licked its lips frantically.
Seeing that, Luke shrugged. “Unfortunately, you can’t have this. It’s bad for your health. I’ll give you some dog food later.”
Conflicted emotions flashed in Dollar’s eyes and it couldn’t help whining.
There was nothing Selina could do either. “Good boy, you can’t have this. It has too much sugar and salt. We’ll give you some extra beef paste later, okay?”.
Dollar despaired.
After dinner, Luke and Selina studied the case files in the living room.
Selina finally wasn’t starving anymore. While she still didn’t stop eating, she no longer complained that she was hungry.
After enjoying a huge meal, Dollar finally lay down next to her feet and quietly dozed off.
“I asked Sonia to look into it. There’ve been two other similar cases recently,” Luke said. “So, including the earliest case and this one, that’s four of them in a month.”
Selina asked, “The FBI’s not taking action?”
Luke said, “It looks like the same M.O., but the guns aren’t the same, and there’s no way to confirm that it was the same cold weapon that was used. The police department thus didn’t put the cases together, and they’re being handled by several different detectives, who haven’t made any progress.”
Selina asked, “Then what are you planning to
do?”
Luke said, “Nothing. Just leave it be. This man is very efficient. There are no survivors or eyewitnesses, and no surveillance at the crime scenes. Finding him is practically impossible.”
Hearing that, Selina no longer paid attention to the case.
Luke said, “Okay, there’s no training today, you have fun on your own.” With that, he got up to leave.
On the other side, Dollar immediately raised its head and looked at Luke’s back.
Luke suddenly turned around. “Don’t feed Dollar snacks. His digestive system isn’t that
good.”
Selina laughed hollowly and didn’t argue with him.
She had accidentally fed Dollar some snacks during the day. If Luke hadn’t reminded her, she wouldn’t have realized it.
It was mainly because Dollar had watched her eat with a pitiful expression the whole time. Unable to take it, she had tossed whatever food she had to the dog, who ate everything.
In the basement, Luke hesitated for a moment before he finally pulled up a surveillance image on his fake phone.
It was of Selina’s bedroom.
He had never set up anything in Selina’s bedroom as it had never been necessary.
But Selina and Dollar’s unusual behavior today, along with various other small hints, compelled him to set up a surveillance camera in her bedroom.
Putting the fake phone on the side, he went back to work.
At midnight, Selina told him that she was going to sleep.
Luke looked at the screen and immediately averted his gaze.
On screen, Selina was changing.
Luke took another look a few minutes later and saw that Selina was already in bed and Dollar was in the doghouse next to the bed.
He stopped what he was doing and packed up. He then began to read the files on his laptop.
His fake phone was right next to the laptop so that he could see what was going on.
Time passed and it turned two in the morning. The fake phone suddenly vibrated, and Luke promptly turned his eyes to it. He instantly vanished from the basement as a dark streak of shadow. A few seconds later, Selina’s bedroom door creaked open, and Luke had an indifferent expression on his face as he stared… at Dollar. “Come out, you still wanna hide?”
