Detective Luke

Chapter 26 Investigation

Mrs. White also heard the problem and said, "What's wrong with the photo? What club is Eliza dancing at?”

White lowered his head, as if unable to speak.

”The strip club. "The vice team made it clear directly, and in his opinion, Eliza's disappearance is likely related to her profession. This layer of window paper must be pierced.

“What? How did Eliza go back to that place! "Mrs. White exclaimed, sobbing softly." My poor daughter... what the hell happened? Is that club forcing my daughter to dance?”

Luke asked back, "Why do you have this idea? Has she ever mentioned it?”

“No, but I don't believe my daughter would do such a thing. I'm a teacher, and that's not how I taught her.”

Luke looked at White again and said, "Mr. White, where did you put those photos?”

“I burned it all, I don't want others to see that kind of photo, I can't accept it.”

“Have you talked to Eliza?”

“I tried to talk to her... but the conversation wasn't very good, and I was a bit excited at the time... Eliza didn't want to talk about this topic, and in the end, we parted ways. I want to help her, but I don't know what to do?”

“Do you have any suspicions about the person placing photos at your doorstep?”

White shook his head and said, "No, I can't think of anyone who would do such a group immoral thing.”

“Do you still have the bag for the photos?”

“I burned it.”

Just heard someone posting photos, Luke was quite looking forward to it. This person is likely related to the case, and as long as they can find the photos or bags, there is a chance to bring up biological traces.

But White burned the entire fire, which was equivalent to cutting off this clue.

Luke sent the White couple out of the office, and if there was any news about Eliza, he would notify them as soon as possible.

……

After the White couple left.

The deputy team said to Luke, "What do you think of the person who sends the photos?”

Luke thought for a moment and said, "I'm afraid this person is not well intentioned. Even if he's not a suspect, he may have some connection to the case.”

“You're right, so he needs to go to the club again. If he can take photos of the dance, it means he must have been to the club, and there may have been a conflict with Eliza.”

“I'll go in a moment. It's still cleaner during the day and I'll make a formal note for the boss." Luke turned his head and asked," David, you won't refuse this time, will you?”

David stood up and picked up the car key from the table. "What are you waiting for?”

Marcus's eyes dribbled as he looked at Luke and David, "If you need it, I can accompany you.”

“No, I don't want to bring you with me, "David refused sharply.

David threw the car keys to Luke and said, "Old horse knows the way, you drive.”

Half an hour later, the two of them arrived at the Ball Club.

Unlike the hustle and bustle of the night, it now seems a bit desolate.

The club door had not yet opened when Luke knocked on the door, “Bang bang...”

The door was halfway open, and a big black man glanced at Luke and said, "It's not open yet. Come back tonight.”

Luke flashed his badge and said, "I'm Detective Luke, looking for Paul.”

The big man paused for a moment and said, "What's up with you?”

Luke raised his eyebrows and said, "Are you sure you want to know?”

“Wait, "said the black man, ready to close the door.

Luke propped the door open with his right hand and said, “I need to go in and wait.”

The black man reluctantly faced off for a moment, but still hesitated.

Luke entered the club, which was empty and quiet. He was too lazy to go backstage and pulled up a chair to sit down. "I regret it a bit, we should come tonight," he said

Ding Lingling

Luke's phone rang.

Luke glanced at Daisy's number on the screen, hesitated for a moment, then pressed the answer button and said, “Hello.”

“Luke, do you have time tonight? Let's have a drink together.”

“Sorry, I'm a bit busy today and I may not have time tonight.”

“Okay, we'll reschedule another day.”

Luke hung up his phone.

David smiled and said, "Is that Daisy again?”

Luke nodded slightly.

“Aren't you quite interested in her? Why don't you go? Don't say you have to work overtime, I don't even believe it.”

“I can't say well either, let's hang it out first. "Daisy's appearance is indeed Luke's type, but he's not sure about Daisy's thoughts.

If Daisy also likes him, he would be happy to drink with the other party, but if it's because of gratitude or a case, Luke doesn't find it interesting.

However, Daisy's proactive invitation to a drink was also a good start. Even if Daisy was unclear next time, Luke had an excuse to invite back.

“Wow... isn't this Officer Luke? I didn't expect to see you again so soon." Paul walked out of the backstage with a twist.

“Hi Paul, this is Detective David. We need to take a note for you.”

“Officer Luke, I already told you everything I know last night. Is it necessary to do it again?”

Luke made a gesture of invitation, gesturing for the other party to sit down and say, 'Last night, we were just here to understand the situation, and we didn't even know if Eliza was leaving normally or if something unexpected had happened. Now we can basically confirm that Eliza has encountered some bad things and needs targeted inquiries.”

“Do you mean that Eliza was indeed kidn*pped?”

“There is a possibility of this.”

“That means she didn't send the resignation message on Saturday herself.”

“It's very likely.”

Paul pulled back his chair and sat down, "Oh, that's too scary. She's very kind and shouldn't have experienced such a thing. If the resignation message was not sent by her, she is still considered my employee now. I am responsible to her, you can ask.”

Luke turned on the law enforcement recorder and said, "How long has Eliza been working here?”

“It's been four months.”

“Do you remember so clearly?”

“After you left last night, I checked her files.”

“I'll take her files with me later.”

“Can I say no?”

“No.”

Paul spread out his hand and said, “What else can I say?”

“How did Eliza apply to your club?”

“We usually have three recruitment methods, one is introduction of acquaintances, the other is posting advertisements at the entrance of the club, and we also have a club website that will recruit through the website. She belongs to the third category, registered online and sent a few photos. I think it's okay, so I asked her to come for an interview. She's really great, there are many customers here who like her.”

“Why did she apply for this job?”

“I didn't ask, but it's probably because of the money. No one would come to this place to dance because of interest. Of course, except for me. "Paul swayed his body.

Luke”……”

“Has Eliza encountered any trouble here?”

“We have bodyguards in our yard, they are not just idle people.”

Luke changed his way of asking, "Is there a customer who really likes her, is really passionate, and can't get what she wants?”

“Is this also wrong? Are your police too lenient? "Paul perfunctorily said, he wouldn't easily betray his clients.

The customer is God.

Customers need to pay when they enter, but the police don't.

Especially last night, that n****r actually wanted to chat up club dancers, bad guy.

“Through investigation, it was found that someone secretly took photos of Eliza dancing and sent them to her father. Is this also allowed by your club?”

“No, I have always been paying attention to protecting the privacy of dancers. Our club does not allow taking photos.”

“Obviously, someone has violated your regulations, and the disappearance of Eliza is likely related to this matter. Do you think it's a minor matter? What if the fathers of other dancers also receive similar photos?”
