Los Angeles Detective

  Chapter 14 Invitation

  Detective Bureau, Robbery and Murder Division.

   Luke and David walked into the office one after the other.

  The silver-haired deputy team laughed, "Oh, the two officers of the police department are back, have you found the suspect Tony?"

  David replied casually, "No, we found Tony's house, but there was no one there. Judging from the situation in the house, he has been away for at least a week."

   "Since you didn't see Tony, how did you get in?" After the voice of the deputy team finished speaking, they waved their hands again, "Forget it, if I didn't ask, you should report to the captain."

  Jenny said, "David, are you hurt?"

  David wiped the corner of his mouth subconsciously, "We had a little accident when we were looking for information about Tony, but the good news is that we developed a member of the local drag racing party into a temporary informant. He promised to help find out about Tony's clues."

  Speaking of this, David looked at the civilian staff aside, "Matthew, we need more information about Tony, you have to work harder."

  Matthew stood up, pushed his glasses, and explained, "I've been checking, but he doesn't have many records.

  More than ten years ago, Tony opened a small restaurant, which closed down after a short period of operation. There are also some stock trading records, and they haven't been working for a long time.

   After that, there is no serious work.

   There are some medical records, the most recent one being sent to the hospital for drug overdose three years ago.

   He also visited drug rehab five times, but apparently without success. "

  Marcus curled his lips, "There are many such people in the slums, who belong to the fringes of the city. It is difficult to find them with official information. The best way is to go through gangs or relatives and friends."

  Luke pressed, "What about Tony's immediate family?"

  Matthew replied, "Tony's hometown is Nevada. He only moved to California 20 years ago. His relatives are also in Nevada. I haven't found their contact information yet."

  There is no household registration system in the United States, and there is a large flow of people between cities. Los Angeles, as the second largest city in the United States, has a large influx of people every year.

   Luke asked David, "Are you going to report to the captain, or me?"

  David pointed to his face, "Do you think I look right now?"

  Luke knocked on the door and entered the captain's office.

   "Captain, let me report to you the progress of this investigation."

  Susan pointed to the chair opposite, "Sit down and talk."

  Luke will briefly describe the situation of going to the gun store and Tony's house to investigate.

   Made some processing in the expression, highlighting his own role and weakening David's actions.

   It's not that he deliberately took credit, but that some of David's actions are not suitable for Susan, and they can be regarded as protection for David.

   Good for both.

  Susan asked, "Is that informant trustworthy?"

   "He has no direct relationship with Tony. For his own freedom, I believe he will do his best."

   "Keep an eye on this person, don't make trouble."

   "I will." After Luke finished speaking, he changed the topic, "Captain, I have one more thing to tell you."

   "Speak."

   "I want to change partners."

"Why?"

   "Maybe...David and I don't quite match up."

   "But as far as I know, your personal relationship is pretty good."

   "Conflicts will arise between husband and wife after getting along for a long time, not to mention partners, I still want to change partners."

   "Then give me a reasonable reason."

   Luke thought for a while and said, "David and I have a somewhat different way of investigating cases. I feel that some of his behaviors are a bit radical. Although they are also for investigating cases, they are likely to be complained.

  I urge David to be reasonable, but obviously he won't listen. "

   "You are right. David's investigation method is indeed radical and reckless. He has repeatedly violated police regulations. We are old acquaintances when we worked in the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

   "Do you agree with me changing partners?"

   "No."

"Why?"

   "I'm glad we have the same ideas. The two of you are partners. When David makes a mistake, you can stop him immediately and help me keep an eye on him."

   "Are you kidding me?"

   "I'm serious, you can report to me at any time if you have any situation."

   "I became your informant?"

  Susan pointed outside, "The people in this office are all my informants, is there a problem?"

   "No...you are the boss."

   "Very well, you can go out now."

  Luke got up and walked to the door, then came back and said, "David has been in the Robbery and Murder Division for many years, and his qualifications are older than mine. Even if I tried to persuade him, he wouldn't listen."

   "Then what do you think?"

   "Can I be the main one when I go out on duty? This way I can better control the situation."

"Can."

   "If you can talk to David in person, I believe he will restrain himself."

   "David is the Inspector, you are the Inspector, and I cannot order him to listen to you. I will support you, but not in this way. If you want the initiative, go for it yourself."

   "How to fight for it?"

   "That's your problem. Close the door for me, thanks."

   "Talking to you...is a pleasure." Luke slams the door shut.

  …

  David glanced at Luke, "You look a little pale, did you flatter the horse's hoof?"

  Luke was a little depressed. Depending on the situation, he couldn't get rid of this guy for the time being.

   "Dingling..." Luke's phone rang.

  An unfamiliar number.

"Hello."

   "Are you Officer Luke?"

   "It's me, who?"

   "I'm Daisy. Do you have time tomorrow? To show my thanks, I'd like to treat you to dinner."

  Luke said, "Miss Daisy, it is my duty to catch criminals. I can feel your sincerity and thank you for your invitation, but it is really unnecessary."

   "Maybe it doesn't matter to you, but it means a lot to me. You saved my life. If I can't thank you in person, I will be very upset inside."

  Luke said, "I'm still working overtime today, so I'm not sure if I can take a vacation tomorrow."

   "Then I won't disturb your work, I will contact you later."

  David asked, "You have a new date so soon?"

   "It's the lady I rescued. To express her gratitude, she wanted to treat me to dinner."

  Marcus was very interested in this topic, and leaned over, "Then go, I remember her name is Daisy, she looks beautiful and has a great figure, maybe..."

  Marcus squeezed his eyes, showing a look that you understand.

  Luke said, "She has a boyfriend."

  Marcus asked curiously, "How do you know? You knew each other before."

  In this situation in China, Luke usually would not go, but this is Los Angeles, and Luke is a little uncertain.

   Just right, he also wants to hear the opinions of his colleagues.

  Luke told the story of their first encounter and what happened before the crime.

  Marcus laughed after hearing this, "Her so-called boyfriend is just perfunctory, it's just an excuse for refusing to strike up a conversation, it doesn't mean she really has a boyfriend.

  A woman who really has a boyfriend will not say that she has a boyfriend as soon as she comes up. Believe me, this is all based on experience. "

  Marcus touched his chin, "The question now is whether you are interested in her?"
