Chapter 580 Gold Nugget Buys a Fridge and Luke Delivers Things

Thinking about it, the shopkeeper realized that it made sense.

He was a shrewd businessman, but he wouldn’t renege on a deal; that would be bad for his shop’s reputation.

He led Luke and Selina to the back door and brought out a batch of Chile king crabs. Luke pretended to examine them for a moment before he waved grandly. “Pack ’em up.”

He had already determined with his Sharp Nose that the king crabs were fresh, or he wouldn’t have spent so much on them.

Although he jokingly claimed that the shopkeeper was a bad man, the man’s produce were all of a high quality, which was why he dared to sell them at such high prices. After purchasing the seafood, Luke and Selina returned with Gold Nugget.

The seafood had to be put in a freezer or eaten when still fresh. Also, if they bought any more stuff, there would be no place to put it in the car.

They had specially taken a detour and drove the secondhand Ford back from the airport because they didn’t want their police car to reek of seafood.

It wasn’t even seven o’clock when they returned.

Luke and Selina divided the seafood and put them away.

Gold Nugget whined frantically as it scampered back and forth to indicate that it wanted a big seafood meal.

Unlike Luke and Selina, it actually preferred eating stuff raw, especially seafood.

The fish which Luke caught at sea last time had all gone into the dog’s belly; not a single one had been wasted.

In the end, Selina pampered Dollar a little more, and snuck it a prawn to eat.

Like a person eating a pistachio with the shell on, Gold Nugget finished it in a few bites.

Luke simply reminded Selina, “It’s very fast and convenient to boil prawns. Don’t give all of them to the dog.”

Selina realized that was true, then switched to tossing crab, sea urchin and tuna to Dollar.

Luke had nothing to say after that.

It was basically only Gold Nugget who enjoyed crab and sea urchin, and nobody would fight the dog for those.

The tuna that they bought wasn’t a rare one like bluefin tuna, but was the common yellowfin tuna and longfin tuna.

Also, the best way to eat tuna was raw, as sashimi.

All the tuna fish was quite big. Luke would at most cut some sashimi for him and Selina to taste, but the rest would all go to Gold Nugget.

After all, the dog liked eating raw seafood!

After ten minutes or so of bustling around, Luke and Selina finally moved everything into the newly-bought massive freezer.

That was right, there was now a large freezer in the house. Big enough to store a bull, it sat on its own in the open basement.

It hadn’t been there before Luke went to the South Pole.

Thus, it wasn’t Luke who bought it... but Gold Nugget.

Gold Nugget kept going on and on about how it was the one who bought it, but Luke wasn’t very curious.

It was a no-brainer that the dog had dragged Selina out, chosen the freezer, and gotten her to pay for it.

After putting away the ingredients, the boiled prawns were ready.

If a certain two fellows didn’t have a bit to satisfy their cravings after coming home from buying food, they would feel twitchy for the whole morning.

It was like missing the final EXP from killing one last monster in a game to level up. Luke then made tuna sandwiches, which was rare, and made a lot in one go. Selina quickly packed up the sandwiches, two to a paper bag, and then placed the bags in a food box. “We’re giving out lunch today?”

Luke shrugged. “We don’t buy seafood often, we can just use that. I’m too lazy to make pastries anymore.”

Selina chuckled and didn’t complain about his laziness.

Making sandwiches and making pastries were as different as cooking instant noodles and making your own noodles, although the sandwiches cost a lot more than the pastries.

They left the house with the food box, and got to the Major Crimes Division at a quarter to nine as usual.

Everybody smiled and nodded to Luke and Selina in greeting upon seeing them.

Nobody asked where Luke had disappeared to recently. They all knew that he now often went out on assignments that had to be kept confidential, and they knew better than to ask him about it.

Selina called for everybody to come and get their tuna sandwiches.

Everybody was quite happy.

Compared with the fast food outside, they seldom had tuna sandwiches.

Billy Wang, the biggest glutton, opened the bag. Glancing at the tuna fish inside the sandwiches, he asked with a smile, “This fish is pretty good. Where did you get it?”.

Selina: “From the seafood market in San Gabriel Valley.”

Billy Wang clicked his tongue and gave her a thumbs up. “As expected of a food connoisseur.” Pleased, he took his sandwiches with him.

Watching him leave, Selina couldn’t help asking Luke in a low voice, “...Why do I feel like he’s a lot like that shopkeeper from the seafood market?”

Luke laughed aloud. “Billy Wang is only 39, not a rotten old man.”

Selina pointed at him. “You said it. I didn’t say anything at all.”

Luke: “...”

They finally made their way to Elsa’s office.

Naturally, Elsa had already seen them when they arrived, and wasn’t surprised at Luke’s appearance. Casually putting away Luke’s tuna sandwiches for her and Dustin, she said, “There haven’t been many tricky cases recently. Thanks to the Stark Expo, public safety in Los Angeles suddenly improved a fair bit.” Luke said with a smile, “But the D.A. and the judges have to be cursing, right?”. Elsa shrugged. “Of course. The D.A. has a number of offenders lately that need to be convicted. The judges have already told HQ multiple times for us to ease up for now.”

Luke nodded. “That’s good. Right, boss, want to have dinner at my place in the afternoon?”

Elsa looked at him. “Dinner? In the afternoon?”

Luke: “You can’t sunbath at night, can you? Didn’t you just say that the D.A. and the judges want us to work less? It’s a chance for you to take a break.”

Elsa didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, but she nodded after thinking for a moment. “Alright, but why are you suddenly inviting me to dinner?”

Luke: “I bought some Chile king crabs from the seafood market today. Just nice, let’s try them together.”

Elsa was lost for words.

This was something most police officers usually wouldn’t buy since it was really expensive.

But Luke had actually specially gone to a seafood market to buy them? They were only sold as a whole there; a whole crab definitely wouldn’t be cheap.

Giving up on pondering Luke’s daily expenses, Elsa nodded.

Luke and Selina left the police department. In the car, Selina looked at the passing scenery and asked casually, “Where are we going now?”

“Looking for an acquaintance to do something,” replied Luke casually. As he drove, Luke suddenly remarked, “No wonder we were told to ease up. I don’t see any of those familiar hoodlums on the streets here – I remember there’s usually a few of them selling weed on the last two streets we just passed, right?”

When he said that, Selina shifted a little in the passenger seat and subconsciously turned to look outside. “Mm, that’s right.”

Dollar, who had been sitting in the backseat, suddenly lay down. Its ears also drooped as it stole a glance at Luke in the front seat.
