Super Detective in the Fictional World

“You know that the Stark Expo is going to start soon, right?”

Luke nodded.
“Yes.
The opening ceremony is in two days.”

Elsa said, “So, you and Selina will be on plain clothes security duty at the expo for the time being.” Luke pulled a long face.
“Is this a punishment?” He had been on a similar assignment in Houston.
It was because that petty Brock intentionally gave him a hard time, and Stark was involved back then too.

Such assignments were demanding but unrewarding.
He would be held responsible if anything went wrong, but wouldn’t be rewarded for doing a good job.

More importantly, this mission required him to spend most of his time at the expo.
He couldn’t goof off, and he wouldn’t earn a lot of experience and credit.

Elsa said, “You think I want this? The boss doesn’t want it either, but what can we do when it’s Director Brad’s order?”

Luke covered his forehead.
“Why would our big boss care about such a petty manner?”

Elsa said, “He wouldn’t have cared, except that the FBI had some paperwork with them when they took George and Crystal away.”

Luke thought for a moment and realized what was going on.

Brad made such an arrangement because every time the expo was held, the police and Stark Industries’ own security always clashed with each other.

The truth was that while few mishaps happened during the Stark Expo, there was too much bickering and cooperation issues between both parties.

Director Brad probably remembered that two particular detectives were pretty close with Stark, and had right away dispatched them to handle this problem.

There was nothing Luke could say about this assignment.

It wasn’t like he could go to Director Brad’s office and tell him, “I’m not really that close with Stark.”

He and Selina could only accept this new assignment.
They went straight to the expo to check the environment.

The expo was usually held between March and June every three to five years for the purpose of showcasing new merchandise for clients to buy and kill even more people.

Stark Industries dealt primarily in military weapons, and their main products were weapons of mass destruction like missiles.

While there weren’t as many guns or common heavy weapons, there was the occasional innovative single weapon that could attract many weapon enthusiasts.

This was also the reason why law and order in L.A.
had been deteriorating recently.Every time the expo was held, LAPD would transfer police officers from other districts to help the east district maintain safety.

The people who really bought missiles didn’t have time or the opportunity to go out on the streets and wreak havoc.

It was the weapon zealots, on the other hand, from all trades and backgrounds, who were the main reason for deteriorating public safety in L.A..

George and Crystal, for example, had been here to attend the expo, but because of an anonymous client, George had contacted and persuaded Crystal to work with him to kidnap Stark.

What was even more bizarre was that they weren’t going to kidnap Stark for ransom or to kill him.
They were just going to lock him up for ten days and then release him after the expo was over.

Luke wasn’t surprised by this strange would-be kidnapping at all.

In many cases, when the backbone of a major corporation disappeared or missed some important event, its rivals might benefit.

In any case, they just needed to find two mudde-headed idiots to give it a try.
It was cheap and risk-free.
Many people wouldn’t mind giving it a shot.
