This case involved a serious political incident, and Luke definitely couldn't handle it. After leaving the interrogation room, he immediately went to the deputy director's office.

At the same time, in the office of the 1st Squadron of the Robbery and Murder Department, everyone was also discussing the case.

"Substitute?" Xiao Hei frowned and asked, "That means we rescued the wrong person. Where is the real Henry Lawley?"

Jackson explained, "No, we did not save the wrong person. The real Henry Lawley did not come to Los Angeles at all. During this time, he was undergoing surgery in New York.

The person who gave the speech in the square on December 10th was the stand-in Farek Burr, so he wrote and directed this kidnapping case in order to gain benefits from Henry Lawley's team."

The deputy laughed and said, "Many politicians have stand-ins, so there's nothing surprising about that."

Jenny said, "When I asked Mrs. Lawley before, the couple lived in different bedrooms, and I felt there was something wrong.

It all makes sense now."

Xiao Hei said, "This is also the reason why he found a call girl."

The deputy team leader shook his head, "I think the reason why he found the call girl was not only for physical reasons, but more importantly, to find a reasonable reason for being kidnapped.

Finding a call girl and then asking the call girl to take him to a bar were all part of the kidnapping case he wrote and directed.

It makes the whole kidnapping case look more reasonable."

The deputy thought for a moment and then asked, "What is the relationship between Farek Burr and the deceased Will Stout?"

Jackson said, "They were friends, and the identity of Farek Burr was recognized by the other party."

The deputy laughed, took a comb to comb his sparse white hair, and said with a smile, "I understand, Will Stott did extort money from Mrs. Lawley, but it has nothing to do with Henry Lawley's kidnapping case.

.

It should be that Farek Burr's true identity is used as a blackmail condition. If the money is not paid, the news that Farek Burr is a substitute will be announced.

This also brought about the disaster of death."

Xiaohei said, "In other words, those two Secret Service men are not only here to rescue Farrak Burr, but also to do dirty work."

The deputy snorted, "Isn't the purpose of the Secret Service just to do dirty work?

I’m not surprised at all.”

"Creak..."

Luke opened the door and walked into the office, looked at everyone and asked, "Guys, have you decided where to celebrate tonight?"

The deputy team member spread his hands and said, "Isn't it a little too early to celebrate now?

This case involves the California campaign. Once the stand-in is exposed, it will become a major political incident. How do you plan to deal with it?

And those two Secret Service men, they did not simply perform their mission, they killed Will Stout in order to conceal the matter of the double."

Luke said, "We have rescued the kidnapped people, investigated the case clearly, and caught those who should be arrested.

We have completed our tasks and fulfilled our responsibilities.

I have reported the situation to Rhett.

As for how to end it...that's a matter for the top brass of the police department.

All we have to do is keep it secret for now.

Can it be done?"

"Of course." Everyone nodded, knowing the importance of this matter.

…

night.

Palisades Community, Luke's House.

Luke sat on the deck chair in the courtyard, holding a glass of red wine in his hand, taking a sip from time to time.

There are flowers, plants and trees planted in the yard, and when the breeze blows, you can faintly smell the fragrance of the plants.

"Woooo..."

At this moment, a red car drove outside the courtyard, and the doorbell at the entrance of the courtyard rang.

Luke walked to the door of the yard and saw a familiar figure, Alti Dean.

Luke opened the far door and said with a smile, "Good evening, Miss Detective."

"Sorry to keep you waiting."

"Did anything happen on the road?" This afternoon, Orti made an appointment with Luke, but she was ten minutes late than the agreed time.

"It's about the commission. I got an accurate answer before I came to see you."

"Stop standing at the door. Let's drink and chat."

The two walked to the courtyard, and Luke invited Orti to sit down and poured her a glass of red wine.

Orti clinked glasses with Luke, took a sip of wine, and praised, "Good wine.

You really know how to enjoy yourself, lying in a beautiful courtyard and drinking high-end red wine, it’s really enviable.”

"That's when you didn't see me suffer. Some time ago, I was almost killed in Las Vegas." Luke pointed out.

Orti put down his glass, "That's what I came for.

The entrustment of the Las Vegas Hotel was an oversight on our part, and I would like to apologize to you on behalf of Pinkerton Detective Agency.

In addition, in order to show sincerity, the entire commission fee of 200,000 yuan for that task will be given to you, and the detective agency will no longer charge 30% of the agency fee."

Luke nodded and said nothing more. The client of that mission was originally here for him, and the Pinkerton Detective Agency was just being used.

Moreover, Luke can see through the opponent's tricks, and Orti also contributes to it.

Orti leaned forward, looked at Luke and said, "I came here with another commission today."

"I've been a little tired recently and want to take a rest."

"The commission for this task is very generous. Are you sure you don't want to hear about it?"

"How rich?"

"One million dollars."

Luke smiled, "It's indeed exciting, but the richer the commission, the more dangerous the mission, right?"

??????55.??????

Orti glanced around and said, "It may be true for other people, but it's easy for you."

"OK, you have successfully aroused my interest, let's talk about it."

"Are you investigating the kidnapping of Henry Lawley?"

"Yes."

"This commission is related to this case."

Luke looked at Orti and used a detection card directly. No surveillance or listening equipment was found on her, and then he said, "Orti, we have said before that it is best not to involve me in the entrusted task.

work."

"I know, but this commission is very simple. It only requires you and your subordinates not to disclose the case to the outside world."

"You mean Henry Lawley's use of a body double?"

"Yes."

"Who is the client?"

"Supporter of Henry Lawley."

Luke thought for a while, "This matter is very complicated and involves many people.

How the case will ultimately be handled still needs to be decided by the top brass of the police department.”

"The client said that there is nothing to worry about at the top of the police department. You just need to take care of your subordinates."

Luke touched his chin, "There are many people involved in investigating this case. Is the commission fee of one million US dollars too small?"

"How much do you think is appropriate?"

"At least three million dollars."

"I will talk to the client."

"Then it's best to hurry up. One more minute means more chances of leakage."

Orti stood up and said, "You are right, I will contact the client now, and I will give you the news tomorrow morning at the latest."

Luke sent her to the gate of the hospital and watched the car leave.

Regarding this case, Luke has also carefully considered it. This case is likely to involve a serious political incident that is beyond his control.

Henry Lawley's team will definitely negotiate with the top brass of the police department and even make some private deals. Judging from what Orti just said, the two parties may have already reached an agreement.

The next step is to stop the frontline police officers.

Only the members of the 1st Squadron were the only ones who really knew about Henry Lawley's substitution incident, which is why Orti came to find him.
