Chapter 66: Dinner with an Unexpected Guest

With his eyes closed, Luke shook his head. "To put it simply, an officer from our department named Matt went missing during his holiday in Laquin. Our department intends to take part in the case out of concern for the police officer."

Selina was unconvinced. "Why would the Laquin police department allow Houston to investigate in their territory? Which idiot came up with such an idea?"

Luke glanced at her and said, "Don't say that to any outsider, because the idiot is our big boss, Deputy Chief Thomas."

Selina stuck out her tongue, knowing that it wouldn't end well for her if she talked like that outside.

Luke continued, "However, you're not wrong. The Laquin police department refused any suggestion of a joint investigation. Also, Laquin hasn't been enthusiastic about the investigation because of it. It's been a month, and there's been little progress. This case will likely become buried in the archive room along with the other cold cases."
