Chapter 348 Danny(1/3)
Eight o'clock in the evening.
Luke rode his Harley to Daisy's house.
There was a light on in Daisy's house, so Luke was not in a hurry and smoked a cigarette before going in.
Luke walked into the house and saw Daisy walking down the second floor wrapped in a bath towel, "Just finished taking a shower?"
"I've been busy with cases today. Let's take a bath and relax."
"What a pity. I wish I had come earlier."
Daisy walked to the coffee table, picked up the red wine bottle and poured a glass of wine, "You've had a lot of drinks today, do you want another drink?"
"Why not?" Luke took the glass and took a sip of wine.
Daisy took out a delicate bag from under the coffee table and said, "Happy birthday."
Luke was a little surprised, "Thank you, how did you know my birthday is today?"
Daisy tilted her head slightly and said, "Please, I'm just busy with work, I'm not stupid."
Luke opened the bag and found a delicate box with a crown stamped on it. When he opened the lid, he found a beautiful Rolex watch.
The black dial, golden hands, gold rim, and leather watch look fashionable, elegant, and high-end.
Daisy took the watch and put it on Luke's wrist, "Do you like it?"
"Of course, I like it very much, but I haven't been willing to buy it. Is it expensive?"
“It’s not too expensive, only over three thousand dollars.
I originally wanted to buy you an expensive watch, but considering that you have to perform a mission, I bought this one."
Luke said, "I'll wear it when I'm on vacation.
I can’t bear to scratch the gift you gave me.”
"No, I bought this watch just for you to use when working. Don't worry about wearing it. If it breaks, I will give you a new one."
"I finally understand why many men like to eat soft food. I will always wear it." Luke hugged Daisy and kissed her on the cheek.
"You smell so much of alcohol. Go wash up first. I have prepared other gifts."
"And a gift? What is it?"
"You'll know in a minute."
"You successfully aroused my curiosity."
Luke spent a long time in the pet store today and really needed a good bath.
When Luke came out of the shower, Daisy was not in the bedroom. She was probably preparing gifts. Luke was not in a hurry and turned on the TV.
Watching TV and waiting for her.
After a while, the door of the cloakroom opened. Daisy was wearing a semi-transparent and light pajamas, and she could faintly see her graceful figure, black stockings and underwear.
Daisy is a great beauty, with a delicate appearance and a curvy figure. Any straight man would be unable to resist wearing this outfit.
Daisy walked to the bed, sat directly on Luke's lap, and whispered softly, "Do you like this gift?"
"All the surprises today combined cannot compare to this moment."
At around ten o'clock in the evening, two poker games were completed.
Intermission.
Daisy went to the bathroom to wash up, and Luke lay on the bed watching TV.
Luke can also be considered a police force manager. Although his rank is not high, his position is relatively important.
He is paying more attention to the news in Los Angeles now. Anything that makes the news is not a trivial matter, and as long as it is related to murder, Luke may be involved.
Luke changed several channels in succession, all broadcasting the same news.
Los Angeles Rams cornerback Danny Carter was arrested by the Los Angeles Police Department for allegedly raping a 20-year-old female fan.
Americans admire sports, and the NBA has the greatest international influence. However, in the United States, basketball only ranks third, and football ranks first in influence.
The Los Angeles Rams just won the Super Bowl championship in February this year. This is the first time the Rams have won the Super Bowl championship after 23 years. This is a grand event for the citizens of Los Angeles and has more influence than the American election.
Danny Carter was so eye-catching in the Super Bowl that he signed a four-year contract extension with a salary of US$80 million.
The bathroom door opened, and Daisy came out in her pajamas and lay on the other side of the bed. "You are also paying attention to this case. Do you have any inside information?"
Luke smiled and said, "No, I'm not involved in this case, I'm just curious. There should be no shortage of women for such a rich and famous man, why do you have to force yourself?"
"Maybe he's innocent."
Luke looked at Daisy's white cheeks and said, "You are also a fan of his."
"No, I am his lawyer."
"real or fake?"
"What's your tone? Do you doubt my ability?"
"No, I just think you are still young..."
Daisy glared at Luke, "Lawyers rely on ability, not seniority, and I went to school early...can't I?"
"Of course." Luke changed the subject, "This is a big case, there should be a lot of commissions, right?"
"A rough estimate is that it should be several million dollars, but money is not the most important thing. What is more important is the impact of the case."
"Then aren't you a little rich woman?"
"It's not as simple as you said. First of all, the lawsuit must be won. Secondly, I am only one lawyer in the legal team. There are two other female lawyers who are older, more qualified, and more famous than me."
“Are they all female lawyers?”
"Yes, it is easier for female lawyers to win the trust of the jury and be more convincing in this kind of lawsuit."
Luke asked curiously, "Does Danny Carter have strong female fans?"
"He admitted to having sex with a female fan, but it was consensual."
"Do you believe him?"
"Of course, I'm his lawyer."
"What if you're not his lawyer?"
Daisy did not answer directly, but looked at Luke, "Are you interested?"
"Of course, a scandal involving a big star like this is news of national concern, and everyone will be curious about it. This is the best conversation piece after dinner.
My mother and uncle must be dying of curiosity."
"Then are you interested in joining this case?"
"What's the meaning?"
"Danny Carter has already hired three lawyers, and may also hire a fourth or even fifth lawyer. I think there are enough lawyers.
Instead of hiring more defense attorneys, it would be better to hire a good detective.
If more new clues can be dug out, it will be more valuable than hiring a few more lawyers.
Are you interested?"
"To be honest... I'm not very interested."
"Why?"
"He wants to hire a lawyer, not a detective, so who am I? Your deputy?"
"No, that's not what I meant.
You are responsible for investigating new clues in the case, and I am responsible for making these evidences have their due effect in court.
Danny Carter has been living in Los Angeles and must have heard of your reputation, and I believe he will be very willing to hire you."
"Then how is my commission calculated?"
"It's the same as the lawyers in the legal team. What do you think?"
"It sounds good, but I need to talk to him first before making a decision." Luke is not a lawyer. He has a moral bottom line and will not help strong criminals escape guilt.
…
seven in the morning.
Daisy got up on time and took a shower.
Compared with past days, she seemed a little more excited today. This was the first time Daisy had received such a celebrity case. Whether it was popularity, influence, or commission, she had never encountered it before.
It was luck that she was able to receive this case. Firstly, she had the help of the relationship of the law firm. Danny Carter was originally a client of the law firm. Secondly, because of her gender, most cases involving male enhancement were female defense lawyers.
She also had many considerations in wanting Luke to intervene in the case as a detective.
First of all, Danny Carter has hired 3 lawyers, and he may hire more lawyers later, but Daisy feels that this case is not too complicated, and 3 lawyers are enough. No more lawyers will be able to afford it.
For what purpose, it would be better to hire a well-known detective like Luke.
