Orti looked at the man in front of him, a little confused about the reality of the man.

If Luke arranged all of this, then it would be a big deal to catch the thief he sent and send him to prison.

Although the trick is easy to use, it can easily involve the instigator, unless Luke's relationship network has penetrated into all departments of the police system.

Orti didn't quite believe that Luke had so much energy, which was different from what she had learned.

Besides, using such a large amount of energy to deal with yourself is a bit of a fuss, and it's not worthwhile no matter how you look at it.

To say that everything was a coincidence, Luke didn't know about it, and Orti didn't really believe it either.

She planned her actions carefully, but was suppressed by someone who did nothing, which made her even more frustrated.

No matter what the situation was, once the phone call was made, she was put into a passive position.

As a detective, it is irrational to confront the police head-on.

If you lose, be prepared to stand upright after being beaten.

Orti took out a business card and handed it to Luke, "Let me reintroduce you, Orti Dean, I am a detective."

"Pinkerton Detective Agency." Luke seemed to know this for the first time, showing a surprised look, "Someone asked you to investigate me? Who is the employer?"

"No employer."

"You think I'd believe it?"

"There really is no employer." Orti leaned forward, his plump bust swaying as well.

"Then why are you approaching me? You just have a crush on me?"

Orti smiled, "If I say yes, will you let me go?"

"What do you think?"

Orti shrugged and could only continue, "Have you heard of our detective agency?"

"Of course, famous."

“In addition to recruiting formal detectives, our detective agency also hires some capable or experienced criminal investigation people as consultants, such as senior police officers or FBI agents. This tradition has been going on for nearly a hundred years.

Of course, we will also conduct corresponding inspections before hiring these people."

"Are you checking me out?"

"Yes, our firm would like to hire you as a consultant."

Luke really didn't expect this beforehand, "I don't think I'm a high-ranking member of the police force, am I?"

"We have learned something about you. You are capable and valued by the leadership. You will definitely become a senior member of the police force in time. What we are interested in is your future.

Just like buying stocks, the earlier you hold it, the higher your returns will be."

Luke laughed, it sounded a bit snobbish, but he liked this straightforward way of communication.

"What's in it for me?"

"There are many benefits.

The simplest thing is, as long as you are willing to be a consultant and register your name in our detective agency, even if you do nothing, you can get a consulting fee of US$200,000 per year."

Luke doesn't believe in getting free money, "What's the point of me being a nominal consultant?"

"Different customer groups and different cases require different types of detectives." Orti changed his sitting posture, crossed his two long legs, and gave an example,

"Just like suits, they are also used to keep out the cold and cover up shame. The cheap ones only cost a few hundred dollars, while the expensive ones cost tens of thousands of dollars. The really rich people like to customize suits.

"The Jue of Extreme Chaos"

They are all suits, but they have different values. Some people like expensive and unique ones.

Although your position is not very high, you have continuously solved several major cases, including the murder of a congressman, the school shooting, the vampire murder, the Las Vegas shooting, and this time the George incident.

You are already famous.

Our detective agency has many high-end clients. They don’t like suits that cost hundreds of dollars. They like customized suits. They value their time and want to leave matters to the most capable detectives.

Money is just a number to them."

Luke thought for a while, "My job is as a police officer, so I don't have much energy to do part-time work."

"I said, you are different from ordinary detectives, you are a consultant hired by our detective agency.

If a high-end client wants to hire a consultant of your level, we will recommend him to you. As for whether to accept the commission, your opinion will be the main one.

Our detective agency has a cooperative relationship with you and wants to borrow your reputation.

If you refuse to accept the commission, you can only say that the client's bid is not high enough, and we will assign him other detectives.

To take a step back, if a client can offer you millions of dollars in employment fees, I believe you will not refuse. This is a win-win situation.”

“What if I receive consulting fees but never accept the commission?

Aren't you at a loss?" Without making his words clear, Luke didn't dare to take the hot money.

Orti smiled and said, "The standard for a high-end suit store is to have a professional fashion designer.

If a customer wants to customize a suit, the store must provide similar services.

If not, customers will feel that the store is not high-end enough and will lose some high-end customers.

The name of a custom suit can attract a large number of potential customers.

Likewise, the price of custom-made suits is much higher than ordinary suits.

If a customer cannot afford it, it only means that it exceeds his spending capacity. It cannot be said that our store is not high-end enough.

We will introduce him to suits that meet his purchasing power.

We then use the money from selling suits to hire a designer. As long as he sits in the store, even if he does not make a suit, he still creates value for the store.

It’s a win-win situation for everyone.”

Luke understood that what the other party valued was his own added value, such as fame, qualifications and influence...

Whether it's worth it or not is a matter of opinion.

The fact that Pinkerton Detective Agency is willing to pay the consulting fee shows that they think Luke is worth it.

Luke also felt that this detective agency was discerning, and he was a bad guy. Although his status was not high now, he would have a lot of room for development in the future. If he wanted to curry favor with him then, it would not be something that could be solved with two hundred thousand dollars.

Luke confirmed, "Are there any other strings attached?"

"If you accept the case commission, the detective agency will charge a 30% service fee."

If it was just like this, Luke felt that he was not at a loss, but he did not agree immediately, "I'll think about it."

"Wait a moment." Orti stood up and left. Although he was wearing loose pajamas, his exquisite curves were looming.

When he came back again, Orti had a document in his hand, "This is the consulting contract for Pinkerton Detective Agency. You can take a look at it first. If there are no problems, we can sign the contract directly next time."

"I'll watch it carefully, good night." Luke stood up and left.

Orti walked Luke to the door, waved, "Bye."

Luke drove away.

Luke was a little dissatisfied with the Pinkerton Detective Agency's investigation-like approach to contact, but they were here to send money, so there was no need for him to do anything too extreme.

Let John and Aphra intercept and search, which can be regarded as beating each other up.

Furthermore, if the other party can win over itself, it can also win over other senior officials of the police force and the FBI.

These 'seniors' have grown up and have higher positions than themselves.

Cooperation benefits both sides.

As for whether to work as a consultant at the Pinkerton Detective Agency, Luke hasn't decided yet and is going to show the contract to Daisy tomorrow. As long as it involves contracts, you must be careful.

…

Big T-Bone Steak Restaurant.

At ten o'clock in the morning, Julian put his car in the parking lot and walked to the restaurant.

There are five people in the restaurant, two chefs and two waiters. The proprietress is the cashier and also works part-time as a waiter when she is busy.

The proprietress is a white aunt in her forties, with a plump figure. She shouted in a unique loud voice, "Everyone, sit down here, I want to have a meeting."

The white chef smiled and said, "We are a restaurant here, not a city hall. Do we need to hold meetings every day?"

The boss lady said, "You are right. I am going to run for mayor of Los Angeles next year. Will you vote for me?"

"No, I won't vote for you, otherwise I will lose my job."

"Haha..." Everyone burst into laughter.

"You idiot." The landlady rolled her eyes and knocked on the table, "I want to say one thing. A customer has booked the restaurant for lunch today. He is going to propose to his girlfriend here, so we need to arrange it in advance.

"

A white waitress asked, "Is he serious about proposing at a steakhouse?"

"Of course, the first time he and his girlfriend met was at our restaurant. He found it very meaningful and hoped to propose here.
