Detective Luke

Chapter 32 Dating

Steven was taken away by a lawyer.

Marcus shrugged his shoulders and said, "Is that how you let him go.”

Susan said, "The photo was not taken by Steven, and there is no reason to detain him under California law

Jenny asked, "Does he have a motive

Motivation cannot be used as evidence, "Susan continued with a serious expression.

Luke is also feeling a bit depressed. If there were no lawyers or anything in China.

As long as Steven has motivation, the trial will be straightforward.

Steven is suspected, so we will investigate further.

No problem, just give him a clean slate. The police can focus their investigation on other directions and rescue Eliza faster.

But California has California laws, which are not suitable for Los Angeles.

David sighed, "I deliberately angered Steven just now. His emotions were not fake, he could feel his feelings for his wife. I think... Eliza's disappearance is likely unrelated to him.”

After David finished speaking, he looked at Luke aside and said, "What do you think?”

Luke shook his head and said, “I don't have a wife”

The deputy team smiled and said, "Captain, what are we going to do next?”

“Everyone investigate separately, reorganize the clues, find common features of the three victims, and perhaps discover new clues. "Susan put down one sentence and returned to the captain's office.

The deputy team curled their lips, looking like I already knew.

David asked, "What's your idea, Lieutenant.”

“The captain doesn't have any, what new ideas can I have.”

“Come on, everyone knows that you are resourceful, old and firm. Don't be humble.”

The deputy took out a comb from his pocket and curled his hair. "From the current clues, the key figure is still Tony Will. He bought the modified Taser g*n, and no matter who is the suspect in the robbery, we can't get around him. There must be a certain intersection with him. If Tony himself is a suspect, then he must also have some connection with the victim, so we will now focus our investigation on the connection between Harry, Steven, Eliza, and Tony.

Of course, the focus is on investigating Steven.”

Matthew said, "I have already checked before, Tony and these three people should not have direct contact.”

“That's right, Tony may not have this identity, but don't forget, Tony just used a fake identity for twenty years, and the other party still has a real identity. What if the other party uses their real identity to have connections with these three people? "Concluded the deputy,

“Thoroughly investigate the surrounding relationships of these three people and see if there are any suspects of Tony Will.”

“Yes，captain.”

“It's the deputy team, don't let me correct it anymore.”

……

night.

Luke asked Daisy to meet at the Flying Bar.

After several encounters, Luke's feelings for Daisy were quite good.

To put it bluntly, it's just a craving for her body.

He had a girlfriend in his previous life, but he really hasn't talked about foreign girls yet.

I'm quite looking forward to it.

Eight o'clock.

Luke saw Daisy at the bar entrance.

Daisy was wearing a black professional dress. Although it was a work uniform, it was still difficult to conceal Daisy's graceful curves, but she looked a bit tired.

“Sorry, I've made you wait for me again.”

“I just arrived, too. Let's go in.”

The two of them entered the bar and found a small square table for two people.

Luke ordered two glasses of wine and a fruit plate, and the waiter also helped them pick up some free snacks. Of course, tipping cannot be reduced.

It was the first time Luke had the idea of dating a girl when he arrived in Los Angeles.

According to different countries, cultures, and races, Luke's previous methods of picking up girls may not necessarily work. He is still in the exploratory stage.

“Do you often come to this bar?”

“My family lives near here, and sometimes I stop by for a drink and feel the smell of fireworks.”

“This is not what a beautiful woman in her twenties should say.”

Daisy smiled and said, "What about you? Do you also work overtime often?”

“I used to work overtime frequently, but recently I was injured, which made me realize that there are many things in life besides work. Now I can try not to work overtime as much as possible. Unless there are special circumstances or major clues.”

“Is your captain okay? Although I've only seen her once, I feel like she's quite serious.”

“You came up with the idea. I am actively striving to prove to her that I can complete my assigned work without overtime. It seems that the effect is still good.”

The waiter came over with a tray and served a small fruit plate and two glasses of wine.

“Cheers. "The two toasted each other.

Daisy put down her glass and said, "By the way, how's the investigation of the Taser g*n robbery going? Oh, if it's a confidentiality clause, you can skip it.”

Luke ate an orange and said, "The case is more complex than expected. We have identified several suspicious individuals, but there is no direct evidence of their actions. We are currently in a stalemate.”

Daisy asked, "Can you confirm that Tim, the suspect who robbed me, is not a suspect in the 'Taser g*n Robbery' case?”

Luke nodded and said, "He has an alibi for the first two Taser g*n robberies.”

"I can't believe my luck is so bad now. I was watched by robber just after I left home."

“It's possible that you're too dazzling.”

Daisy raised her glass and gestured, "Anyway, thank you for arriving in time, otherwise... I'll be embarrassed.”

Luke also picked up his glass and said, "To your tire, it gave us this fate.”

Daisy smiled and joked, "Yeah, I'm going to buy a separate insurance for it.”

“Haha…… “Luke laughed.

Subsequently, the two fell into a brief silence again.

Luke found a new topic and said, "How have you been these past two days? Are there any suspicious individuals harassing you?”

“No, but... I work all day and come home alone at night, so I still feel a bit uneasy.”

“Then you should consider finding a roommate.”

“I'm still used to living alone.”

Luke was somewhat disappointed, "then install a surveillance system.”

“I don't like surveillance. I feel like someone being monitored, which makes me even more nervous.”

This idea is very American, but Daisy's idea is also correct. Hackers can indeed reverse monitor.

“Then take some small techniques.”

“What little trick.”

“For example, find an inconspicuous piece of string and clip it on the door. Before going home, check if the string has moved. If the string falls or changes position, it indicates that someone may have entered the room. Although it may not be entirely effective, saving time and effort can also save money.”

Daisy thought for a moment and said, "It sounds good. I'll give it a try.”

“Hey, if you encounter any suspicious situations, feel free to call me at any time.”

“Thank you.”

After chatting for a while, Luke offered to take Daisy home.

The two of them took a stroll along the road and walked to Daisy's house.

Daisy's house is a two-story villa with black lights. Living alone can be a bit scary.

“Can I take you in?”

“No need, thank you very much for taking me home. "Daisy spread out her hand and seemed a bit embarrassed." I'll buy you a drink some other day

“Won't you invite me in for a cup of coffee?”

Daisy smiled and pursed her red lips. "I had this idea, but I have to go to court tomorrow morning and rest early……”

“Work matters, I understand. You go in, strong woman.”

Daisy greeted and went home.

Daisy entered the house, turned on the lights, stood by the window and waved to Luke.

Luke waved and turned to leave.

“Dingdong……”

Daisy sent a text message, “See you tomorrow.”
