Super Detective in the Fictional World

p>

Luke asked, “Why didn’t she call the police?”

Elsa said, “For the same reason – how would she explain it? Those police officers certainly wouldn’t keep it a secret for her.”

Luke nodded his head.

The case was troubling for Sheerah, but good for him and Elsa.

Working on cases like this was a way to make friends with the upper class.

When something happened to the rich, they would usually ask detectives they trusted to quietly investigate first before deciding to call the police.

For example, a certain magnate called the police when he lost something, only to discover that it was someone in his family who had stolen it.
It had been quite embarrassing for him.

So, a personal connection with a detective was useful.

Takagi was friendly toward Luke for perhaps the same reason.

Very soon, Luke and Elsa arrived at a small stadium.

Luke was a little stunned.
“Why are we here?”

Elsa got out.
“Because she has a fan meeting here today.
That’s what stars do.
No matter how much they suffer, they can’t stop appearing in public, or they might lose their popularity.”

Luke shrugged but didn’t say anything.

Elsa was obviously very familiar with Sheerah.
Security took one look at her face and let her through the back door.

The security guard who led them in had them wait for a while, since the fan meeting was coming to a close.

Luke looked around backstage curiously.

It wasn’t nearly as interesting as what happened on stage.

Items were scattered haphazardly over the floor, including clothes, makeup, accessories, and various odds and ends which served some unknown purpose.

Elsa coughed and said, “Stop ogling.”

Luke could only shift his gaze, because he happened to be staring at some lingerie.

The star couldn’t have only just taken them off, right?

A moment later, there were cheers from the front, and Elsa stood up.
“She should be saying goodbye.”

Elsa and Luke went to the stage corridor, only to see a blond retreating with a bunch of security guards.

Luke, however, felt that something wasn’t right.

Was the situation getting out of control?

There was no telling what started it, but some fans were climbing over the guard rails to get to the star.

People tended to go with the flow.
If too many fans mobbed her, she might be in trouble.

Luke frowned.
“Something’s wrong.
Do we need to help her?”

Elsa noticed that the audience was about to burst onto the stage like a flood.

She quickly said, “Let’s help her.
Don’t be too rough.”

As she spoke, she quickly rushed toward the star.

The security guards were obviously very familiar with Elsa.
Though surprised, they didn’t shove her away.

Elsa pointed at Luke and shouted, “My colleague and I will help you.
Hurry up and get out of here!”

The security guards could only nod.
There was no time to speak.

The audience was reaching out like zombies to grab at them.

Instead of going up to Sheerah, Luke simply walked out in front of the security guards and started pushing aside the fans who were in his way.
