Los Angeles Detective

"Woooo..."

A police car with NYPD on it was parked on the side of the street.

Two Asian police officers got out of the car and shouted to the crowd, "Who called the police?"

"It's me." A Chinese man in his thirties said.

The Asian patrolman asked, "Did you see a dead body?"

"Yes, it's over there." The Chinese man pointed to the trash can in the crowd.

"NYPD, get out of the way." The Asian patrolman pushed away the crowd, went to the trash can to check, frowned slightly, and said on the walkie-talkie,

"This is the 3C4 group. We rushed to the report site and found a male body. Call for backup, over."

Another Asian patrolman waved his hand, motioning everyone to back off, and took out the cordon from the car to protect the scene.

Soon, several police cars rushed to the scene, trying to evacuate the surrounding crowd.

Li Zhaonian was still standing not far away in a daze.

Yao Xin was timid and didn't dare to move forward, she took her husband's arm and said, "Let's go, I know what you are worried about.

I just heard that dead people had bad thoughts and were shocked too.

When I saw the legs exposed outside the trash can, I knew it was not, and it was a false alarm. "

Yao Xin dragged her husband back, only to find that her husband was still out of his mind, "Zhao Nian, what's wrong with you? Scared by the dead? If you're not brave enough, move forward."

"Do you know who I saw?"

"Who is it?"

"Zhang Qilong."

Yao Xin was also a little surprised, a figure of a bald man appeared in his mind, "Really, didn't he come to the store for free food two days ago?"

"It's unmistakable, it's him." Li Zhaonian said firmly.

"Did you offend someone?

He is from Heshengtang. It seems that Chinatown is going to be in chaos, and business is even more difficult. "Yao Xin looked a little complicated.

Hearing what his wife said, Li Zhaonian breathed a sigh of relief, yes, Zhang Qilong is a member of a gang, it is common to fight fiercely with others, and he has offended a lot of people.

Worry blindly.

Thinking of this, Li Zhaonian's steps became a little brisk.

He walked to the door of the store, saw someone sitting in the store, and was about to greet him, but found out that it was his family.

Li Zhaofeng looked at the couple who came back together, "Where did this go? I don't even care about the store."

"There's a dead person over there, let's go and have a look." Yao Xin responded and said hello, "You guys sit down first, I'll get some tea."

The little fat man showed a curious look, "Second Uncle, we also heard someone calling for murder just now.

I want to go and see, but my dad and brother won't let me.

What the hell, man or woman? "

Li Zhaofeng said, "Why do you ask this, a child? I'm not afraid that I won't be able to sleep at night."

Luke said, "I won't sleep with you at night."

Li Zhaonian "..."

This 'child' probably weighs more than himself.

Li Zhaofeng changed the subject, "Is there any news from Will?"

"No, the two of us are also worried." Li Zhaonian finally spoke softly.

Although it was a false alarm, he was still scared.

It's silly to think about it, how can parents beat their children.

Li Zhaofeng suggested, "It's quite disturbing not to go home during the Chinese New Year.

Have all the people who have a good relationship with Will ask? "

Li Zhaonian said, "Will's friends and classmates all asked, and they all said they didn't see him."

Yao Xin came out with a teapot in hand, "I don't know where this kid is. I haven't heard from him for two days. Even if I lost my temper before, I couldn't even find him."

Luke asked, "How did you get in touch with Will's friends and classmates?"

Li Zhaonian said, "I called to ask."

"Uncle, since you have a good relationship with Will, you must be speaking for Will, and you can't believe everything they say."

A look of joy appeared on Yao Xin's face, "That's right, we should come and ask."

"Do you know where people live?" Li Zhaonian felt a headache, and his children were debts.

Although Li Zhaonian and his wife asked Luke and his son to eat before leaving, Will couldn't find them.

At night, after Luke took a shower, he made a video call to Ortie on the bed, but the other party turned it into a voice call, "Hey, beauty, why don't you turn on the video?"

"I'm afraid I'll scare you." Orti's crisp voice sounded from the phone.

"I was looking for something exciting."

The video lights up, showing a white mask, but the delicate outline of the cheeks can still be seen, "Do you like it?"

Luke smiled, "The camera is lower."

"Is this enough to go down here?" Orti pointed the camera at her feet, tender and delicate, with red nail polish.

Luke praised, "I like this color, it suits you very well."

Orti rolled his eyes, "Is there something wrong? I can't talk now, this mask is very expensive, I don't want to waste it."

"I just wanted to tell you that I'm coming to New York.

do you want any gift

I'll bring it back to you. "

"Why did you go to New York all of a sudden?"

"Accompany my dad for the Spring Festival."

"Sounds good.

I don't have anything to take with me right now.

But thank you for still thinking of me. "

"OK, see you in Los Angeles."

Orti shook the camera to his chest, a seductive gully flashed, and said playfully, "Good night."

The video cut off, and Luke's smile faded.

His voice and video, which seemed to be teasing, was actually intentionally revealing news about himself in New York.

Although this trip to New York was to visit relatives, it made Luke feel a little uneasy. He couldn't use too many lapd resources here, and Anthony didn't reply. Mobilizing too many FBI resources.

At this time, Orti’s role became apparent. The Pinkerton Detective Agency’s business may not be spread all over the United States, but there must be detective offices in major cities, especially in New York, the largest city in the world.

The New York Police Department must also have the relationship network of the Pinkerton Detective Agency, similar to Orti and himself. If there is a real need, it may be more practical than the FBI relationship.

After all, Luke is a contract consultant with the Pinkerton Detective Agency and has a long-term relationship.

This is also the reason why he contacted Orti. It is better to establish a good relationship in advance and let her know that he is in New York than to ask for help when something happens.

Some women are still very fond of this set.

next morning.

After breakfast, Luke and his father sat in the living room drinking tea.

The little fat man on the side made a video call with Maggie again, the two of them talked about each other, and the little fat man pretended to be cute and acted like a baby, which made Luke roll his eyes.

He suddenly missed Los Angeles. At this time, Los Angeles is still very warm, and he can sit in the yard and drink tea. New York does not have this condition.

"Dad, what are we going to do today?" Luke didn't want to hear that the little fat man was getting bored, so he had to find something to do.

Li Zhaofeng suggested, "How about I teach you how to play chess?"

"Sounds pretty good." Luke can play chess, but he hasn't played chess for many years. He still remembers the rules of chess, and it's unknown how much skill he has left.

Anyway, it's okay to be idle, just practice.

"Jack, go to the house and get some chess."

The little fat man was dissatisfied, "Why me?"

Luke spread his hands, "Do you want to be beaten?"

"As expected, you are still that 'good' brother." The little fat man said a certain word with a high pitch.

"Thank you for the compliment."

The little fat man turned his head, muttered a few words in a low voice, reluctantly bid farewell to Maggie, and went upstairs to get chess.

Subsequently, the father and son began to play chess.

The rules of chess are very simple and easy to learn. Fatty is young, has a good memory, and learns quickly.

Luke knew it before, but he hasn't played for a long time, and after playing a few rounds, it feels like it's coming.

The happiness between men is very simple, as long as they can get together to study something, it is easy to become addicted.

Before he knew it, it was noon, and from a rookie, the little fat man had mastered the rules of chess proficiently, and he also made a few simple combos.

Luke has improved faster, and he can keep in touch with Li Zhaofeng. He likes the open and close game very much.

"Jingle Bell……"

Suddenly a mobile phone rang.

Li Zhaofeng took out his mobile phone and pressed the answer button, "Zhaonian, what's the matter?

Here, what's the matter?

Take your time and speak slowly.

...

OK, let's go there. "

Li Zhaofeng hung up the phone with a serious expression on his face.

Luke asked, "What's wrong?"

"The police went to your uncle's restaurant and said they wanted to find out about the situation from Will."

"Find Will?"

"No, that's why I found your uncle's restaurant. Your uncle panicked and didn't know what to do?"

Luke wondered, "Why did the police find Will?"

"It seems to be related to the person who died in Chinatown yesterday.

The dead man was the bald man who was eating a bully meal in a restaurant. The police seemed to know that he had a conflict with Will.

Your uncle doesn't know what to do now.

The police were right by, and what he said was not very clear.

Said that I want you to go to help deal with it. "

Luke put down the chess piece, "Let's go."

Although he doesn't know the New York police, he is familiar with the way the police handle cases, knows how to respond to police inquiries, and can learn some information from police inquiries.

Li Zhaofeng looked at his younger son beside him, "Jack, don't go, stay at home, I'll order you a pizza."

Thinking of being followed that night, Luke felt a little worried about his brother, "Let's go together.

He's grown too.

It's not a bad thing to touch some things. "

Li Zhaofeng thought that the eldest son was worried that the younger son would imitate Will's rebellion, and wanted to warn him, so he nodded in agreement.

...

Ji Manxiang.

A police car was parked at the entrance of the restaurant, and several neighbors outside looked into the store from time to time.

Li Zhaonian and his wife sat at the dining table a little at a loss.

There were also two Asian patrol officers in the store, a man and a woman.

The male patrolman said in Chinese, "Mr. Li, don't be nervous, we're just looking for Will to get some information."

Li Zhaonian said helplessly, "I've told you many times, but I really don't know where he is.

What exactly did you ask him to find out? "

"According to the clues we got, he is likely to be related to the 1.22 Chinatown murder case."

Li Zhaonian showed a worried look, "Impossible, you must have made a mistake.

There's no way my son has anything to do with the murder. "

The male police officer asked, "We hope so too, that's why we asked him to understand the situation. Since he is innocent with the case, why didn't he take the initiative to explain the matter clearly?"

Li Zhaonian sighed, "I really can't contact him."

The male police officer and the female colleague looked at each other, "I heard that the deceased had a conflict with Will before he was alive. Is this true?"

Li Zhaonian clenched his fists tightly, not knowing how to answer, he said no, he was lying.

When he said yes, he was worried that he would harm his son...

At this time, he was also in a panic, and he couldn't contact his son, but he waited until the police came to the door.

He also wanted to know where Will went and why he didn't show up all the time. Could it really be related to Zhang Qilong's death?

No, absolutely not.

Before he knew it, Li Zhaofeng's back was drenched with sweat.

The male police officer coughed lightly, "Mr. Li, did you hear what I said? Do you need me to ask again?"

Li Zhaonian opened his mouth, but still didn't know how to answer. He is not a casual person, but it concerns his son...

upset.

A Volvo is parked in front of the restaurant.

The three of Luke and his son came down from the hall.

Luke entered the restaurant, eyeing the two police officers in the room.

Li Zhaonian breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had found his backbone, "Luke, you are here.

The two police officers came to Will, saying they wanted to know about yesterday's murder. "

The male police officer looked at Luke, "Do you know where Will is?"

Luke didn't answer, but asked instead, "Can I see your ID?"

"Of course." The male police officer nodded and gestured to the female police officer beside him.

The female police officer took out her ID and handed it to Luke, blinking her eyes, showing a thoughtful look, "You look familiar."

"I know, Keanu Reeves, everyone says that." Luke smiled and returned the ID to the other party, "Why are you looking for Will?"

"We are investigating the 1.22 Chinatown murder case. According to the clues we know, he may have some connection with this murder case?"

Luke asked back, "Is there any evidence?"

The male police officer asked back, "Who are you? A lawyer?"

"I'm Will's brother."

The male police officer asked, "Do you know where Will is?"

"Sir, what's your name?"

"My surname is Liu, just call me Police Officer Liu."

"Officer Liu, I respect the NYPD and am willing to assist you in the investigation, but before that, I want to find out what happened?

I think trust should be mutual, what do you think? "

"you're right.

We made notes for some people involved in the case, and someone identified Will, saying that the deceased had a conflict with him during his lifetime.

There's also some evidence against Will, I can't reveal too much...

So, we need to find Will to check the situation, not arrest him.

This is a necessary procedure. "

Luke nodded, expressing his understanding, "Will quarreled with his father and ran away from home. We don't know where he is now."

Officer Liu pointed at himself and Luke, "We both have Chinese descent and know the meaning of the Spring Festival. Why did he run away from home at this time?"

Luke said, "For a 'big boy' who is in a rebellious period, running away from home is regardless of time and festivals."

The big boys Luke was referring to were not physical ages, but mental ages.

"OK, even if you don't know where he is.

Then I want to ask, is there any conflict between him and the deceased? "

Luke knew that this could not be concealed, and there was no need to conceal it. The more vague it was, the more suspicious it would be for NYPD, "I don't know who the deceased is?"

Officer Liu took out a photo, "Do you know him?"

"I met once, but I don't know each other."

"His name is Zhang Qilong, we found his body yesterday in a trash can in Chinatown.

Had he and Will ever had a conflict? "

"Yes.

On the night of January 20th, I came to the restaurant for dinner.

I was talking to Will when there was a table of people getting ready to leave.

Will went over and asked if he needed to pack.

They said no need, got up and left.

Will reminds them they forgot to check out.

The deceased and his friend were unwilling to settle the bill, and had a few arguments.

But no hands.

The dead man and his companions departed. Luke spread his hands and said indifferently, "In my opinion, this is just a trivial matter, not a contradiction. "

The female police officer said, "It's not a small conflict if you don't pay for meals.

If it were me, I would definitely beat him. "

Luke said, "So you're a cop.

And my uncle is just a small restaurant owner, and even opening a restaurant can't avoid this kind of thing. "

Officer Liu asked, "If it's just a small matter.

Why did Will run away from home? "

Luke explained, "Will ran away not because of that, but because he didn't want to work in a restaurant, he was young and wanted to start his own business instead of serving plates at restaurants all day.

And my uncle wanted him to stay and work in the restaurant and take over the restaurant in the future, which is why they quarreled.

To be honest, I don't want to serve the plate either, if it were me, I might have left long ago. "

Officer Liu curled his lips. He couldn't tell that Luke had been clearing the relationship for Will. There was no conflict with the deceased, so there was no motive for the murder. "You should consider getting a lawyer's license."

Luke laughed, "Will you invite me?"

"I will consider."

"I'll give you a discount."

Officer Liu handed Luke a business card, "Will come back and contact me, you know, this is a necessary procedure."

"I will."

Officer Liu looked at Luke, then at Li Zhaonian and his wife, turned around and left with the female police officer.

After getting into the car, the female police officer was still a little absent-minded.

Officer Liu looked at his female partner, "What did you find?"

The female police officer said firmly, "I should have seen him."

"where?"

"I can't remember."

Officer Liu shrugged, "That's fine.

Although he can speak very well, it's Will we're looking for, so don't worry too much about it. "

Sorry for the late update.

Some cavins today.

It's not that there are no ideas, but that there are too many ideas, and I always want to choose the best and most exciting plot.

Detective novels are more logical.

A foreshadowing may affect the ending.

There are many things to consider.
