Los Angeles Detective

Police Department, Robbery and Murder Division.

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

The silver-haired deputy said with a smile, "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 into the house?" 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.

There was no real work after that.

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

He also went to rehab five times, apparently without success. "

Marcus curled his lips, "There are many people like this in the slums. They belong to the fringes of the city. It is difficult to find them with official information. The best way is 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 the progress of this investigation to you."

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

Luke briefly narrated the investigation of the gun store and Tony's house.

Some processing has been done in the expression, focusing on 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.

After hearing this, 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."

"Say it."

"I want to change partners."

"Why?"

"Maybe...David and I don't have the right temper."

"But as far as I know, your personal relationship is not bad."

"There will be conflicts 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 tried to persuade David to be reasonable, but obviously he wouldn'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."

"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 him close."

"Are you kidding me?"

"I'm serious, and 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 he has more seniority than me. 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 and you are the Inspector. I cannot order him to listen to you. I will support you, but not in this way. If you want to gain the initiative, go for it yourself."

"How to fight for it?"

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

"It was a pleasure talking to you..." Luke slammed 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? As a token of my gratitude, 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's nothing to you, but it's important 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, 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, so he leaned over, "Then let's go, I remember her name is Daisy, she looks beautiful and has a great figure, maybe..."

Marcus winked, showing a look you know.

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 also a little uncertain.

It just so happened that he also wanted to hear the opinions of his colleagues.

Luke told the story of the two people's first encounter and what happened before the incident.

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 from experience. "

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