Detective Luke

Chapter 17 Naloxone

William said, "I don't know the specific reasons. Everyone has their own privacy, and even friends are no exception. If you ask others for privacy, you may not even do it."

Luke asked, "With your understanding of Tony, where will he go?"

"I don't know. He is an adult and tells me everything."

"Did he have been missing for so long before?"

"I have had a few times before, but he came back by himself. In fact, there was nothing. For people like us, there were no families, no job, tired in one place, and it was normal to go out."

"Are Tony and family contact?"

"I don't know, at least I haven't seen it. But once we drank together, he mentioned his wife and children, and he could still miss them."

“Tony was married?” Luke frowned slightly. Tony was listed as single, with parents and older brothers.

“I don't know, but he lived with that woman for a while.”

“What's the woman's name?”

“I didn't ask.”

“How old is the baby, Boy or girl?”

William Shrugged. “Comeon, we were just talking, and I was drinking a lot. I had no family, no kids, no interest in the subject.

I'd like to help you with your investigation, but I really don't know.”

“Who knows Tony Better Than You?”

“Tony was a bit of a loner. He wouldn't take the initiative to meet other people. He would talk to the homeless people in the neighborhood, but they certainly didn't know as much as I did...” William recalled for a while,

“By the way, I was also reminded that Tony knew a rich man and I had seen him go to Tony's house.”

“How do you know it's a rich guy?”

“He drives a white BMW X5 and wears a nice suit, which is hard to find in the neighborhood.”

“How many times have you seen this man?”

“I don't know exactly, but at least four or five times.”

“When did he come?”

“I can't remember because the span is so long that I see it on average about once a year.”

“When was the last time you saw it?”

“Maybe... around Christmas last year? I don't know.”

“Describe the features of the rich man.”

“I just saw each other from afar and couldn't see their appearance clearly. All I knew was that they were white, male, and of medium height. Tony had never mentioned this person either.”

“Does Tony have any special preferences for women.”

“No, he's not very interested in women.”

“Does Tony have a g*n”

“As far as I know, there is none.”

“Has Tony mentioned his hometown of Nevada?”

“Is his hometown in Nevada? I don't know at all. He never mentioned it before, and I thought he was a local from his accent.”

“How is Tony's economic situation?”

“Not bad, at least much better than me. He has relief money, lives in a comfortable house, and occasionally orders takeout. At least I haven't seen him worry about money.”

Luke asked, "Isn't that benefit enough for him to buy alone?"

"Then I don't know. He may have other economic sources. This is privacy. He will not say, I won't ask." William revealed a expression you knew.

"Thank you for helping us to investigate." Luke handed a business card to the other party, thinking about what clues can contact me at any time.

William took the business card and pointed to the blue tent. "Can I go back to sleep?"

Luke took out another $ 20 and handed it to him, "Buy yourself for something to eat."

"Thank you, can I buy beer? Since Tony has disappeared, I haven't drank it."

"up to you."

Luke turned and left, and the money had been given, but he didn't care whether the other party was used to buy a burger or beer.

Returning to the car, Luke asked David beside him, "What do you think?”

David thought for a moment and said, "Yesterday you were on vacation. We checked Tony's past phone records and haven't found any contact between him and his family in Nevada in the past twenty years. Coupled with William's description today, Tony's attitude towards his family is even more abnormal.”

Luke took the opportunity to say, "Tony hates the police and doesn't contact his family in his hometown. Would it be because he committed a crime in Nevada that he wouldn't dare to go back, let alone contact his family in his hometown.”

“There's a possibility, but it's been twenty years and it's happening in another state. It's not easy to find out, "David said, and his phone rang.

“Buzz……”

David clicked on the text message and said, “It's Lindsay's address, I need to go there.”

“What do you want to do? If you encounter that man again, will you beat him up or just kill him.”

“I did think about beating that bastard up, but he might anger Lindsay and make her situation worse. I... just wanted to help her.”

Luke didn't believe it a bit. In his opinion, David could do anything. "How can we help?”

David opened the car armrest and took out several white medicine boxes, "Naloxone.”

Luke has an impression of this d**g, which is a unique receptor antagonist. Injecting it into the human body can quickly relieve the toxic effects of the unique d**g on the central nervous system, and can timely save the lives of those who overdose it. It is a safe, reliable, inexpensive, and no side effects emergency medicine.

“What I know is that you are helping her, and what I don't know is that I thought you were encouraging her to take drugs. You should be helping her quit drugs now, rather than preparing for an overdose.”

“Do you think I don't want to? Do you think I haven't tried? I've tried all the methods that should be tried, and detoxification is not as easy as imagined. Do you know how many people die every year due to excessive smoking? I'm saving her life.”

“Okay, then don't waste time, I'm hungry. "Luke waved his hand, as it was between David and his wife and he didn't want to interfere too much.

David shook his head and began to start the car. "Is starving so scary?”

“Is there a problem?”

“Listen, if you don't want to go, I can take you to dinner first, I understand……”

Luke interrupted the other party, "After delivering, we can eat.”

Lindsay's place of residence is not far from here. The car arrived after a few minutes. David stopped the car and looked at the number on the house, "It should be here.”

Outside the window is a dilapidated square, with a broken wooden fence surrounded by a piece of iron sheet. The yard is messy, and there are colorful graffiti on the walls.

David pulled on the handbrake and took a deep breath. "You wait in the car, I'll be out soon.”

“You wait in the car while I go to deliver it.”

“What? "David thought he had heard wrong.

“Are you sure you want to see the scene in the room? If it's the man who opens the door, can you control not to hit him? Or could you just give him a shot?”

David touched his chin and said, "Aren't you thinking of changing partners? You can just achieve your wish.”

“I wanted to change partners, but not in this way, "Luke took naloxone from David's hand, walked out of the car, and left a sentence before closing the door,

“You're welcome.”
