LA Detective

Chapter 175 Family (Happy Dragon Boat Festival!)
In mid-June, the average temperature in Los Angeles is between 17 degrees and 27 degrees, neither hot nor cold, which is very suitable for playing.

In the morning, the breeze blows.

The community of Ruidu is lush with green grass, singing birds and fragrant flowers.

Many residents came out for a walk.

Luke had a rest today and was still sleeping on the bed, and he still didn't feel the sun shining into the bedroom.

A familiar voice sounded beside his ears, 【Congratulations to the host for catching Karov, the murderer who killed Angela.

The murderer who killed Dalsey, Naris Kasiri, was arrested and the 'Holy Blood' case was successfully solved.

Forty lucky draw chances are awarded. 】

Luke was awakened by the system's sound, slowly opened his eyes, and heard the system's reward sound when he woke up, which may indicate that today is a good day.

Forty chances to draw a lottery are not too few, and Luke didn't keep it, so he directly drew a lottery.

Five cards were drawn, worth 3.5 US dollars.

Among them, three old cards and two new cards were drawn.

The three old cards are micro-expression analysis card, 1

Precision Card, 1

Profile card, 1 piece

New card, unlocking card, 2 pieces [you can quickly learn the unlocking skills, and the time limit is 3 hours]

This card may not be useful to ordinary people, but it is still useful to the police.

The last time Luke and Xiao Hei went to Augustus's house to investigate, although the two of them had a search warrant, but there was no one in Augustus' house, Xiao Hei would unlock the door, and the two directly opened the door and went in to search.

Afterwards, Luke also asked why Xiao Hei would open the lock.

In his words, many children who grow up in slums can pick locks, which is nothing unusual.

After breakfast, he began to study lockpicking skills.

After searching the Internet, I couldn't find any technical lockpicking skills.

If you think about it, this kind of technology is generally passed on by word of mouth, and it is more practical, and it is impossible to put it on the Internet.

Luke didn't bother anymore, thinking about letting Xiao Hei teach him another day, why not use a ready-made master?
Later, Luke began to learn another skill - lip language.

Lip language is a relatively special skill, and it usually doesn't seem to be very useful, but once it is used, it is a strange move.

Luke found a lot of lip language learning tutorials on the paid Internet, including texts and videos. With the blessing of lip language cards, he learned quickly and achieved twice the result with half the effort.

As his position became higher, Luke also wanted to learn more skills to enhance his abilities.

Luke entered into a state of ecstasy in his study, he didn't even bother to eat lunch, and used up both lip language learning cards.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, I basically mastered the lip language skills.

Luke turned on the TV, found a news program at random, turned off the volume and watched it again. He could basically understand the meaning of a whole sentence just by the shape of the speaker's mouth.

Afterwards, Luke turned on the TV volume and played it again, and the general meaning was basically the same.

Luke is already very satisfied with being able to learn this level in one day.

"Gollum."

His stomach growled, and his already hungry chest pressed against his back.

In the evening, I asked Daisy to have dinner together.

He was going to go to the supermarket to buy some ingredients for the night.

There is an event in a newly opened supermarket nearby, and he wants to go there to buy, and the price can be discounted.

This supermarket is not far from the Ruidu community, only a few minutes' drive away, and it is very convenient to drive here to shop.

Of course, compared to China, shopping in the United States is still a bit of a "toss".

A medium-sized community in China has thousands of households and tens of thousands of residents.

The population is densely populated, the shops will be denser, and shopping will be more convenient.

Americans usually drive to the supermarket to buy food for a week at a time.

Luke parked his car and entered the supermarket.

The scale of the supermarket is not small, and it is divided into several areas. He pushed the trolley around the supermarket.

First of all, Luke selected the ingredients for tonight, a lamb chop, a steak, ten oysters, semi-finished quick-frozen pizza, and some vegetables.

Daisy likes steak, Luke prefers lamb chops.

As for Chinese food, Daisy is okay to eat it once in a while, but she is not used to it at all if she eats it every day.

Luke pushed the trolley around the supermarket, always feeling that someone was staring at him.

He didn't find anyone suspicious, just his intuition from the police for many years.

Luke didn't show any abnormalities, he checked out and left after buying what he needed.

"call……"

After Luke left the supermarket, a white man hiding behind the shelf let out a cry.

Like a sigh of relief, but also like a little lost.

A black man in a supervisor uniform came over and asked, "Val, why are you slacking off here again? With your working state and efficiency, you can't pass the probation period at all."

The white man hurriedly explained, "Sorry, I'm not being lazy, I just saw an...an acquaintance."

The black supervisor frowned and became even angrier, "What do you mean?
Why do you hide when you see someone you know?
Are you looking down on your work?

You are working with your own hands, why be ashamed?

Do you feel ashamed of working in a supermarket?
If that's what you think, you can leave now. "

Val was a little embarrassed and shook his head, "No, that's not what I meant. It's just that I haven't gotten used to it for a while."

The black executive pointed to his chest, "Val, you begged me at the beginning, saying how much you needed this job, and promised to do it well.

I just gave you this job opportunity, I hope you will not betray my trust. "

"Don't worry, I won't." Val pursed his lips, pushed the cart next to him and began to organize the goods.

Luke stood behind the shelf not far away and had a panoramic view of it all.

How could Val's stalking skills be able to hide from him? Although he knew someone was following him, he didn't know it was Val.

Seeing Val's overalls and being reprimanded by the leader, Luke immediately understood everything.

However, he didn't mean to go out, it would be more embarrassing for Val to go out at this time.

As for why Val wanted to avoid him, Luke could also guess a little bit. Although his uncle was not successful, he was a person who wanted to save face.

Val's dream since he was a child was to become a singer. He even formed a band in high school and became well-known in school.

Perhaps it was the high spirits in high school that made him more determined about his music dream.However, reality is always cruel.

After going to college, Val's band disbanded.

He has been looking forward to reorganizing the band and continuing to write the glory of high school.

However, due to various practical reasons, this dream could not be realized after all.

As a result, he is a little bit underachieved now.

I don't have the ability to be a singer, and I don't have the skills to find other jobs.

He can only engage in relatively low-end occupations, but he has strong self-esteem and always feels that he can't save face.

Deep down in his heart, he still regards himself as a singer, and the gap between expectations and reality makes his life more and more distorted.

It has become a fat house in the mouth of the family and a waste wood in the mouth of the friends.

For pocket expenses of several hundred dollars, I often find my father and beg my sister.

Now that he has his eyes on his rich nephew again, Val also wants to save face, and he doesn't want to do this, let alone let his two nephews look down on him.

He wanted a change, he wanted to support himself, which is why he went to work in the supermarket.

Although not very successful, he is already on his way...

……

Daisy's house.

In the afternoon, after seeing what happened to his uncle, Luke felt a little stuck in his heart.

When he was a child, his uncle treated Luke very well, and often took him out to play, until Val became a good-for-nothing in others' mouths.His own life is a mess, so naturally he can't take care of his two nephews.

It wasn't until Daisy came home that Luke's mood improved a bit.

However, a new depression came again, and Daisy also brought back a bunch of documents.

Daisy made Luke understand what it means to be a workaholic.

In the past in Huaguo, Luke often worked overtime, but it was passive overtime.But Daisy is different, she is working overtime proactively.

Daisy seldom rested, and when she did rest it was only half a day now and then.Everything about the law is on call.

Luke felt that Daisy's working state was not good.People should combine work and rest in order to maintain a long-term and efficient working state.

Take Luke as an example, it is normal to work overtime when there is a case, but once the case is solved.

Luke will definitely take a good rest for a few days, as long as the leader approves leave, he will rest as much as possible.

What is the purpose of man's work?It's not for a good life, you can't put the cart before the horse.

The two set the tableware, poured red wine, and started dinner.

Luke picked up the wine glass and clinked glasses with Daisy, "Are you busy tomorrow? Can you take a day off?"

Daisy put down her wine glass and asked, "What's the matter?"

"It's nothing, I just see that you are too tired and I want you to rest. Besides. Tomorrow night is our family dinner day, and I want to invite you to join us."

"Wow...Family dinner..." Daisy was a little embarrassed, and politely declined,

"It may not work tomorrow, I have a lot of cases in my hands recently, including the case you want to sue the news TV station.

They are very difficult to deal with, I have to do a lot of preparation. "

Luke persuaded, "Daisy, don't put too much pressure on yourself."

"I know, but clients come to me because they trust me. I don't want to let them down."

"The case is never finished. I'm worried that you will be tired because of the high-intensity work."

"Don't worry, no, I quite like the state of work."

Luke stopped persuading and bowed his head to eat.

Although I always feel that there is a gap in the emotional communication with Daisy, the physical communication between the two is still very harmonious.

That's all that matters to Luke.

Others can come slowly.

……

early morning.

Sunrise East.

People are busy again, those who go to school go to school, and those who go to work go to work.

A yellow car drove into the community, representing another new day.

The community where Daisy lives and the community where Luke lives are both middle-class communities, the difference is that one has more whites and the other has more Chinese.

Across the street not far from Daisy's house, there is a silver-gray modern car parked.

A gray-haired white man in his 60s was sitting in the cab.

He was looking through the binoculars in the direction of Daisy's house.

At 8:00 in the morning, Daisy leaves the house on time and drives to work.

Not long after, Luke also went out, driving away in the Mercedes-Benz G500.

The old white man looked at the Mercedes-Benz G500 and said angrily, "Another rich bastard."

The old white man put down his binoculars and sat in the car for a while, looking at Daisy's house from time to time, as if hesitating to get out of the car.

"Dong dong."

Someone knocked on the co-pilot's glass.

The old man turned his head to look and was startled, only to see a black muzzle pointing at himself.

A dark-haired youth yelled, "lapd, don't move."

Looking at the black muzzle of the gun, the old white man did not dare to act rashly.According to Luke, he slowly opened the door and got out of the car.

Luke looked at each other and said with a smile, "Hey, let's meet again, did you get better from the last fall?"

The old white man smiled awkwardly, "What a coincidence."

"Turn around, you're under arrest."

"why?"

"Because you attacked the police."

The old man was speechless, "What are you talking about? Why did I attack the police when I didn't do anything?"

"You followed me the night before and monitored me this morning. Your behavior made me feel threatened. I think you have affected the personal safety of me and my family."

"Don't you think it's too ridiculous? I'm just an old man without a weapon. What danger can I cause you?"

"Whether you talk or not is up to the judge. I'm only responsible for arresting you."

Luke pressed the old man on the car, and the old man struggled, so he was no match for Luke.

"Hey, don't treat me like this, there is a misunderstanding here and I'm not looking at you."

"You stared at that house with binoculars and said you weren't looking at me?"

"That house doesn't belong to you, so why do you say I'm looking at you?"

"Then who are you looking at?"

"I'm watching my daughter."

"Who is your daughter?"

"Daisy."

"What's your name?"

"Lawrence Miller."

"Get out your driver's license."

Luke checks his driver's license, which has the same last name as Daisy.

Luke snapped his driver's license and photo, "Are you really Daisy's father?"

"Yes, I came to see my daughter, do you still want to arrest me?

If you really want to do this then arrest me and I'll call my lawyer daughter and ask her to bail me out.

I believe it will be very interesting. "

Luke didn't quite believe the old white man's words.

What if this guy is a liar?Although the possibility of deceiving the police is unlikely.But it is even more embarrassing for the police to be cheated.

"How do you prove that you are Daisy's father?"

"I have a photo with Daisy in my wallet."

Luke took out his wallet to check, and he did see a group photo. In the photo, there were three people who looked like a middle-aged couple with their daughter.

The white old man is very similar to the middle-aged man above.

The little girl in her teens was a lot like Daisy.

Although there are some differences in appearance when they grow up, their facial features can still be distinguished.

"Are you really Daisy's father?"

The old white man pointed to his face, "Isn't it like?"

The facial features of the father and daughter are indeed some portraits, and they also have brown hair, "Then why didn't you contact Daisy, but peeped here instead."

"I just want to understand all aspects of my daughter's life.

By the way, check to see if her boyfriend is reliable. "

"That's a good explanation.

I'm sure Daisy will be delighted to know you're here, and I'll call her now and ask her not to go to work today. "

"No, no no, don't affect Daisy's work because of my arrival."

"It's okay, she should miss you too."

"Stop! Don't call." Daisy's father was anxious.

Luke held the phone, "Give me a reason."

"Actually, there were some small conflicts between our father and daughter.

Very common isn't it?Many fathers and daughters fight.

So, I don't want her to know that I've been here, as long as she lives well.

Treat this as a little secret between the two of us, OK? "

Luke and Daisy have been together for so long, and he rarely hears her talk about family matters.

Coupled with his father's various behaviors, he guessed that the relationship between father and daughter should not be very good.

Of course, no matter how bad the relationship between father and daughter is, it cannot be provoked by an outsider.

For Daisy's father, Luke still tries to show respect as much as possible.

He readily agreed, "No problem."

"OK, I have something to leave first." The old man turned around and was about to get in the car, then remembered something, "By the way, can you give me a business card?"

"Of course." Luke handed him a business card.

"Getting along with you...it's unforgettable." The old man got into the car, kicked the accelerator, and drove away.

Luke watched him leave, then took out his mobile phone and called Matthew, "Hello, I'm Luke, check someone for me."
