Super Detective in the Fictional World Chapter 411 - Scary, Paranoid Housewife

Chapter 411 Scary, Paranoid Housewife
Selina led Luke to the table and jerked her chin at the yellow fish fried with lemon peel and ginger, which still hadn’t been touched. “That’s it. It looks yummy.”
Luke surveyed the fish and activated Sharp Nose, before he gave a mysterious smile.
Searching quickly on his phone, he chuckled a moment later. “It’s fine. I’ll take you to eat it when we have the time.”
Selina was completely confused.
Luke showed her the picture on his phone, putting it side by side with the fish on the table.
Selina looked at the photo, and then at the fish next to it.
Hungry Cat’s Special Today – Yellow Fish Fried With Lemon Peel and Ginger.
Selina was stunned, before she said resentfully, “Hmph. I knew it – how can there be any woman who is so pretty and good at cooking at the same time?”
Luke nodded with a smile. “That’s right. Even you can’t do it.”
Selina snorted. “It’s just that I’m not as good as you, and you won’t eat my cooking.”
Luke opened his mouth, then felt it was best not to lie.
Otherwise, if Selina took it seriously and cooked for him every day, he would really suffer.
After setting up the cameras, they had no intention of lingering.
Karen was tied up with Meg, while Jeff was with Tim and his wife.
So, Luke and Selina just said a few words to Jeff before they walked home.
Luke took out his fake phone to look at the feed from one the camera that he had just set up. He glanced at it and smiled.
Selina asked, “What’s wrong?”
Luke gave her the fake phone, and Selina clicked her tongue. “Isn’t Mr. Tim too hasty? He’s only just arrived, and he’s already scouring the place?” Luke shrugged. “He needs to pee. That’s a good reason, isn’t it?” Selina suddenly burst out laughing.
Luke asked, “Did Mr. Tim pee his pants? Even then, it shouldn’t be that funny.”
Selina shook her head. “No, our impatient Mr. Agent was blocked by the super paranoid housewife.”
Luke: “Huh?” He took back the phone.
On the screen, Tim awkwardly explained that he was looking for the bathroom, before he fled under Karen’s suspicious gaze. Luke smiled and said, “Don’t forget that Karen monitored us for days too. Although her paranoia is unfounded most of the time, her intuition is spot on this time.”
Pondering for a moment, Selina asked, “Does this couple seem like they’re from some government agency? It doesn’t seem like they’re involved in dirty work.”
Looking at the empty screen, Luke put away his fake phone and nodded. “I don’t think they’re mercenaries; they don’t feel that ruthless. Let’s observe them for a few more days. Jeff’s a nice guy.”
After they got home, Selina went to train and Luke went to work.
At half past eight, Luke began to make dinner.
They hadn’t eaten much at the party. Luke had been busy setting up the cameras while Selina observed Tim and his wife. The American-made German sausages they had weren’t enough for them at all.
“Hahahaha…” While watching TV and keeping an eye on the surveillance feed in the living room, Selina suddenly burst out laughing. Luke didn’t think much of it. It wasn’t unusual for her to suddenly start laughing when she was watching a drama.
But Selina came running over and placed the tablet next to him.
Luke heard the voices on the tablet. “…He’s traveled all over the world and can find his way out of the desert, but can’t find the bathroom in our house. That doesn’t make sense.”
Luke didn’t need to look at the feed as he continued making a flaugnarde. “Mr. Tim probably doesn’t know that Karen’s paranoia can drive her neighbors nuts, does he?”
“…Sweetheart, he just needs to answer nature’s call. It’s very embarrassing when it’s urgent. They’re nice people. Stop overthinking it.” Selina remarked, “Jeff is still a nice guy.”
Luke shrugged but didn’t stop working.
“…Why do you think Luke and Selina came to our house today? Are they interested in the new neighbors too?” the paranoid housewife asked again.
“Maybe they happened to be free today. In any case, I had a great time talking to Luke. From my years in HR, I’m positive that he’s a good boy.”
Selina laughed again. “Hahahaha! Good boy!” She rubbed Luke’s head hard.
Luke tilted his head away and said, “Hey! I’m making food! Do you want to eat my hair in your food later?”
Selina didn’t care. She rubbed Luke’s head a few more times again before she let him go. “Good boys should have good tempers.”
Luke was speechless.
“I’m not saying that he’s a bad guy. He and Selina are quite nice. Also, Selina is really good at cooking,” said Karen.
Luke raised an eyebrow. “Really good at cooking, chef.”
Selina was embarrassed.
“Then isn’t that fine?” Jeff found it odd.
Karen said, “All I’m saying is, is it possible that Luke is interested in Natalie? She has a husband.”
Luke was lost for words. Where the hell had that come from?
Selina glanced at him suspiciously. “Karen may be paranoid, but she’s a really sharp observer. That’s not really your plan, is it?”
Luke quickly put the flaugnarde into the oven and turned around. “Do you think that Mr. Tim is dead? They’re not here on a vacation.”
On the other side, Jeff and his wife finally began to talk about their children. Luke and Selina stopped eavesdropping and resumed their training
The next day, Luke and Selina didn’t have to go to work.
If they didn’t have any important cases, they took the weekends off.
Selina would go shopping in the secondhand Ford, and Luke would roam Los Angeles in the police car.
If their timings matched up, they would have lunch together before they each went off again to do their own thing.Luke didn’t need as much sleep, so he set off early.
At ten o’clock, he was roaming southern Los Angeles and watching a surveillance feed in the car of a gang meeting, when his phone rang.
He picked up the phone and said, “I’m still thinking about which restaurant to pick for lunch. There’s no need to be in such a hurry, alright?”
Selina said, “Carry on. I just wanted to tell you that Karen is using binoculars now to observe her neighbours, and she’s eating ice cream while she’s at it. Hm, I want some too.”
Luke was stunned. “What? Is she really monitoring them?”
Selina said, “From what I can tell, it looks like it. Wait, the new neighbors are going out, and Karen’s changing too. It looks like she’s leaving her house too.”
Luke said, “Don’t tell me that she’s going to follow the new neighbors.”
Other people might not do it, but it was certainly a possibility for Karen who, as an interior designer, had to be bored at home every day.
