Chapter 19 Business Trip

Daisy looked nervous, "Do you think his accomplices will still look for me?"

"I can't say for sure. Those were just my speculations." Luke finished speaking, and two waiters came over with wooden plates. Luke's was a lamb chop set meal, and Daisy's was a steak set meal.

There are three lamb chops, fried eggs, pasta, broccoli, snow peas, and cherry tomatoes on the plate.

Luke originally liked eating meat, and he was still able to adapt to the diet here after time travel. If you don't like eating meat, it's best not to come abroad.

Luke took a bite of the lamb chop, which was juicy and delicious.

Daisy took a bite of beef and put down her knife and fork, "What should I do?"

Luke took a sip of water and said, "If my guess is correct, you should have something they want, something very important."

Daisy said helplessly, "I really don't know what they are looking for?"

"Is it related to the lawsuit you are handling or the client?"

"I do have a few cases on my hands, but they are all very normal cases. Logically speaking, this kind of thing would not happen."

"Tell me about the case you are handling now."

"Oh..." Daisy was a little embarrassed, "I'm sorry, I signed a confidentiality agreement. According to the regulations, I cannot disclose the situation of the case and the client. I am really sorry."

Lawyers have an obligation to keep clients confidential, which is fine from a professional point of view, but Luke still feels uncomfortable. I'm helping you make suggestions, and you still have to hide it from me.

There is no problem with the system, but I feel uncomfortable emotionally.

Luke suddenly felt uninterested. He helped because he had a good impression of Daisy. I talk about favors, you talk about systems.

"I understand... However, it is difficult to conduct further analysis based on the existing clues. I suggest you call the police."

"Aren't you the police? Can't you help me continue the investigation?"

"I also want to help you, but now we are only monitoring the power outage. There are no valuables missing in your office. It is difficult to prove that someone has entered your office. This kind of situation is usually handled by the patrol." Not only lawyers have systems, but the police also have them.

.

"The suspect Tim has confessed, and the evidence chain is very sufficient. Theoretically, the robbery has passed the investigation stage. Unless there are new clues, such as someone breaking into your office and proving that it is related to the robbery, we can

Restart the investigation, otherwise I have no power to continue the investigation."

Daisy bit her sexy red lips, feeling a little nervous, "What if the suspect's accomplices continue to hurt me?"

"Don't be too nervous. What I just said is just speculation and has no factual basis. Please pay more attention and call 911 as soon as possible if there is any situation."

After dinner, Luke went back to the police station. Going to work is not a business, especially investigating a case.

Luke never tolerated those who were unwilling to cooperate with the police.



It's around one o'clock in the afternoon.

Robbery and Murder Division, conference room.

Susan sat in the main seat, glanced at the team members on both sides, and asked, "David, Luke, is there any progress with the informant?"

David lowered his head and had no intention of responding.

Luke replied, "We met the informant Harry. He did not find Tony's whereabouts, but we learned from him that Tony had a friend named William. We made a transcript for William."

"The two have known each other for more than ten years. Tony rarely mentioned his family in Nevada. Occasionally he would only talk about his wife and children when he was drunk, but official information did not show that he was married..."

Marcus grinned with black lips and said, "For the lower class people, getting married does not mean they have to register and get a certificate. They don't care about bullshit official certificates. Tony may have had a woman in love, and the two had a child, but because of Tony

The woman left him due to poor life or other reasons. This kind of thing is too common."

"Marcus, I know you know more about the conditions in the ghetto, but please hear me out, okay?"

Marcus shrugged.

Luke continued, "According to William, a man with good financial conditions visits Tony every year. This man drives a BMW X5. The two should have known each other for many years, but the specific relationship is unclear.

Another thing is that Tony seems to hate the police."

Marcus said, "Yeah, this is a common problem among criminals."

Luke was a little unhappy, "You say it or should I say it?"

Marcus made a gesture of invitation.

"Previously, I found packaging bags suspected to be stained with unique products at Tony's house. Tony should still be smoking. But I learned from William that Tony's financial situation is not bad. I suspect that he may have other sources of income. So far, I understand

These are the situations we arrived at.”

After Susan heard this, she asked, "Deputy team, what do you think?"

Vincent thought for a while, "For a person who is not financially well-off, a unique product is a huge expense. If Tony had other financial channels, it might be through robbery, which could be one of the motives for committing the crime.

If Marcus's hypothesis is correct, Tony had a woman and child whom he loved deeply, but later left him for some reason, and Tony ended up hating her because of his love.

From the way he committed the crime, it can be seen that the suspect did not just commit robbery, but also had a revenge mentality. If the speculation is true, the physical characteristics of the victim are likely to be similar to the woman Tony loved, both of whom were white women with long blond hair.

This is also his second motive for committing the crime."

The deputy took a sip of coffee and continued, "Third point, Tony has not been in contact with his relatives in his hometown for so many years, and coupled with his dislike of the police, it means that he may have committed a crime in his hometown.

I suggest going to his hometown to investigate. If he has not committed a crime in his hometown, he will probably flee and hide in his hometown after leaving Los Angeles.

If he has committed similar crimes in his hometown, we might be able to find other clues."

Although the deputy team leader is older and not as capable as the younger ones, he has little experience in handling cases, which coincides with Luke's point of view.

Although Susan had a dispute with the deputy team, she still recognized his ability to handle cases and ordered, "Marcus, Jenny, you two are responsible for investigating the situation of Tony's wife and children.

Raymond, you are responsible for investigating the clues about the rich man.

David, Luke, you go to Nevada to investigate clues about Tony's hometown."

It’s hard to travel long distances to investigate cases in other places. Luke is very experienced in this. “Captain, can you change the task?”

Susan said expressionlessly, "What do you think?"



After the meeting, Luke found Susan.

"Captain, I want to talk to you about the robbery last Thursday."

"come in."

The two entered the office and sat down respectively.

Susan picked up the tea cup and took a sip of black tea. "You are not using this case to negotiate terms with me just to avoid going to Nevada."

"I didn't mean that. I met the victim Daisy yesterday and learned some new things from her." Luke briefly recounted the conversation between her and Daisy.

Susan asked back, "Do you think the power outage is related to the robbery?"

"I'm not sure, it's just a guess. If you think it's necessary, I can investigate."

Susan nodded, "Then let me use someone else to go to Nevada to investigate?"

Luke smiled and said, "I have no objection."

Susan managed a rare smile, "No!
