Luke was a little surprised. He didn't expect John, an old rookie, to be quite familiar with Inspector Marceau.

He joked to himself, "The two of us really have similar personalities."

After Luke chatted with the two for a few words, he took the opportunity to pull Red aside.

"Director, what is the theme of today's party?"

"Didn't I tell you yesterday?"

"No."

"Sorry, I forgot." Rhett said softly, "Mayor Li joined the Elephant Party before, did you know?"

"Know."

"Today is the first day she quits the party. She is now an independent."

Luke was a little confused, "Does this also require a party?"

Rhett patted him on the shoulder, as if you'd just get used to it.

"Do I need to congratulate her?"

"There is no need to be too deliberate. This is just a reason to socialize. What you need to do now is to get to know more 'valuable' friends, who may be useful in the future."

"How do we meet? I don't like awkward conversations."

"No one wants you to chat awkwardly. If you know someone, just go over and say hello, and they will introduce their acquaintances to you, and everyone will naturally get to know each other.

If you hear others talking about a topic that interests you, you can join in.

There is no essential difference from the parties you attended before." Rhett picked up a glass of whiskey from the table next to him and handed it to Luke, "Have a drink and you will be able to blend into the atmosphere more easily.

Go ahead, you will encounter more similar occasions in the future."

After Rhett finished speaking, he left.

"Hey, Luke." An Asian woman wearing a floral cheongsam came over. She was the first Chinese female deputy mayor of Los Angeles.

"Mayor Li, good evening.

I like your cheongsam, it suits you very well."

"Thank you." Li Mei apologized, "I'm sorry that I couldn't invite you in person because I don't have your contact information."

Luke handed the other party a business card, "Now you have it."

Li Mei took the business card and handed Luke one of hers, "Next time, I will send the invitation directly."

Luke felt someone was looking at him, glanced around casually, and asked casually, "Isn't Betty here?"

"She is still young and not suitable for today's occasion.

I didn't tell her you were going to the party, otherwise, she would definitely come."

Luke smiled and just listened to this. Even though he saved Betty, when seeing Luke, the other party would also think of being kidnapped. Li Mei may not want the two to meet.

At the door of the party, new guests arrived, waving in Li Mei's direction.

Li Mei said, "Luke, I'll excuse you now, I have to go greet new guests.

Glad you could come."

Luke nodded with a smile.

Later, Luke sat at a table near the side, drinking and watching the people at the party.

He had just come into contact with this level and didn't know many people, so sitting here was somewhat boring.

He stood up and was about to get some fruit to eat when a white woman about twenty years old sat across the dining table.

"Sir, can I sit here?"

Luke looked at the other party. The young woman was very beautiful, with blond hair, blue eyes, fair skin, and a blue dress. She looked like an elf in a European film and television drama.

"Have we met before?"

"No, I have seen you on TV. You have cracked many big cases and are a famous detective in Los Angeles."

Luke thought to himself, could it be that his mother was right, that he looked so handsome in this outfit, and that his luck came so quickly?

"My name is Luke, nice to meet you."

"My name is Lilith." The blonde beauty raised her glass, "Captain Luke, you have investigated so many thrilling eucalyptus, can you tell me about it?"

Luke said, "Sorry, I signed a confidentiality agreement and cannot disclose it to anyone."

Lilith's little mouth curled up slightly, seeming a little disappointed, "Are there any other more exciting adventure experiences? For example, adventure."

Luke asked, "Are you talking about adventure treasure hunting?"

"Yes, I have loved listening to my elders telling treasure hunting stories since I was a child."

Luke smiled, "Have you heard of Finn's treasure?"

"Yes, I have heard this story about a very interesting old man who likes to bury treasures everywhere.

Do you also like treasure hunting?"

Luke smiled and replied, "No, I am too busy at work and have no time to hunt for treasures."

Lilith "..."

I……

How can we talk about this?

Luke asked, "You started paying attention to me when I first came to the party. Why?"

Lilith denied, "You misunderstood, I have been looking in the direction of the door."

Luke continued, "As soon as we met, you asked me to tell you something thrilling. You know I couldn't tell you.

So, your real purpose is to ask me about adventure treasure hunting?"

Luke stared at the other person's delicate facial features and continued, "Also, you called Finn an interesting old man, which sounded like you knew him well.

So, you’re here for Finn’s treasure?”

"Papa..."

Lilith clapped her hands and said with a smile, "You are indeed the most famous police detective in Los Angeles. You have seen through it so quickly. I feel like a failure."

Luke asked warily, "What do you do?"

Lilith lifted her golden hair, took off an earring from her ear, and placed it on the table in front of Luke.

Luke picked up the golden earrings that were still warm. Because they were covered by hair and the blonde hair was similar in color, Luke didn't see it.

Looking carefully now, the workmanship of the golden earrings is very delicate and familiar, "This is Finn's treasure, where did it come from?"

Lilith looked a little weird and said softly, "I bought it...at the auction."
