Luke has solved several major cases in Los Angeles. No one will doubt his ability to solve crimes. With his joining, more clues that are beneficial to Danny Carter can be dug out, and his help in the case will be more obvious.

Secondly, Daisy is the least qualified among the three lawyers, and it is almost impossible for her to defend herself in court. But with the addition of Luke, it is different. With the relationship between Luke and her, Luke has found clues.

I will definitely tell her first that with Luke's help, she will have the possibility to defend herself in court.

This case has attracted a lot of attention, and her popularity will increase.

Finally, the commission for this kind of case is relatively high, and even if it is divided among several people, it is a considerable amount of income. Rather than letting outsiders get a piece of the pie, it is better to let Luke benefit.

Various thoughts ran through her mind, and Daisy also used this time to prepare breakfast.

She usually has a simple breakfast, milk, fruit, and a sandwich, but Luke's appetite is larger. With Luke here, she will also fry bacon and ham.

At the dinner table, the two chatted for a few more words.

After dinner, Daisy went to the law firm and Luke returned to the community.

After the Harley drove into the community, Luke did not go home immediately. Instead, he went to the UPS smart self-pickup locker on the east side of the community to pick up things.

Yesterday, Luke's father also sent a birthday gift, but Luke was not at home, so he asked the courier to temporarily put it in the self-pickup locker.

Luke opened the self-delivery cabinet. It was a cardboard box that was 20 centimeters long, 10 centimeters wide, and 8 centimeters high. It looked like the gift would not be too big.

Luke was not in a hurry. When he got home, he put Harley in the garage, sprinkled a handful of fish food in the fish tank, and watched the colorful fish happily eating.

Luke watched this seemingly boring thing for two minutes.

When the fish food was almost eaten, Luke opened the express carton with his key. Inside was a gray paper box with a transparent plastic bag on the outside.

Luke opened the plastic bag and opened the box. Inside was a black spring-loaded retractable knife. The handle was heavy and there was a switch above the handle. When he pushed it forward, a sharp blade popped out. The back of the knife had serrations.

The switch moved back and the blade retracted again.

Luke measured it with a ruler. The handle was about 12.5cm long, the blade was about 11cm long, and the total length was 23.5cm.

After retracting the blade, the handle is only 12.5 cm, making it easy to carry.

As a police officer, you will inevitably encounter accidents. An extra dagger is also an extra self-defense tool.

Luke tried it. The handle felt good and the blade was very sharp. It was a good knife.

…

Two o'clock in the afternoon.

Daisy led Luke to the Marriott Hotel.

The two got off the elevator and entered the corridor on the 7th floor. Luke asked, "Does the suspect not have a place to live in Los Angeles?"

Daisy corrected, "It's the client."

"Sorry, I just made it easy."

"He has a villa in Beverly Hills, but there are reporters outside the villa, which is very inconvenient.

After being released on bail, I stayed in a hotel.”

"Where is his family?"

"He is divorced and has a child raised by his ex-wife."

"A famous and wealthy bachelor must have a colorful life."

"Yes, the bail is also very generous." Daisy complained, walked to the door, and pressed the doorbell, "Ding dong."

After a while, the door opened.

Standing at the door was a black guy in his twenties, with thick lips, headphones hanging from his neck, less than 180cm tall, broad shoulders, and a strong build.

"Hello, Attorney Ellis."

"Mr. Carter, let me introduce to you, this is..."

Danny Carter interrupted Daisy, "No introduction needed.

I know Captain Luke Lee and have seen news about him, and he is a real tough guy."

"I have also watched your game. You are the fastest player in the game."

Daisy smiled and said, "Gentlemen, can you come into the room and compliment each other?"

Danny Carter stepped aside and said, "Please come in.

Sorry, the house is a bit messy and I don’t want anyone to come in and clean it right now.”

Daisy said, "You are right, the fewer people you have contact with now, the better."

"I know, be careful with your words and actions." Danny Carter sighed and sat down on the sofa, "I regret it so much, I shouldn't have gone home with her that day.

Officer Luke, can I call you that?"

"Just call me Luke." Luke is now helping him investigate as a detective.

Some time ago, Orti had already helped him apply for a detective certificate, which was endorsed by Pinkerton Detective Agency, so Luke didn't need to worry about it at all.

"Me too, just call me Danny.

Luke, I know you have handled many big cases, are cases like mine a piece of cake for you?"

"Danny, before I formally accept your commission, I want to have a chat with you first."

Danny Carter shrugged, "OK, what are we talking about?"

"I heard from Attorney Ellis that you were accused of being involved in a rape case?"

"Yes."

"What is the name of a man who accuses you of being strong?"

"Billie Warwick."

"When did you have contact?"

"The evening of November 18th."

"Have you known each other before?"

"No."

"Did you have sex on the night of November 18th?"

"Yes."

"Did you force her?"

"Absolutely not.

She said she was a fan of mine, liked me very much, and was very enthusiastic.

She invited me to her house for a cup of coffee, and we naturally developed a relationship."

"Then why did she call the police?"

"I don't know. I regret it now. I shouldn't have believed her."

Luke kept staring at the other person and saw no sign of lying on the other person's face.

In other words, he is innocent.

"OK, let's talk about the commission."

Danny Carter breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you for being willing to help me.

I really need expert support like you now, and if you are not willing to help... I will be very helpless."

Daisy has already negotiated the commission and commission matters. Luke will intervene in the case as a detective consultant and also occupy a lawyer's quota. He can get the same proportion of commission as Daisy.

Of course, this is only on the surface. In fact, Luke does not need to be commissioned by the law firm, and his income is much higher than that of Daisy.

"Danny, I want you to describe your contact with Billie Warwick in as much detail as possible."

"What a bad memory..." Danny Carter picked up the wine glass on the coffee table and took a sip.

"We had training that day, and after that we went to the bar for a drink. Our team had an agreement not to drink too much, so I just drank a glass of beer and enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere of the bar.

In the bar, I met Billie Warwick, who claimed to be a fan of mine, and we had a great chat.

I bought her a drink and we danced together on the dance floor...

It felt very good at the time.”

"What time did you arrive at the bar? Which bar?"

"Kamwit Street, West Bar, I arrived at about eight o'clock and left the bar at ten o'clock."

"Is there surveillance in the bar?"

"I'm not sure."

"Has anyone seen you two together?"

"Yes, my two teammates."

"Where did you go after you left the bar?"
