LA Detective

Chapter 315 Undercurrent
Marriott.

Located near well-known Washington, D.C. landmarks, our hotel offers easy access to monuments, the National Mall, museums and cultural venues such as the National Theatre, Convention Center and National Portrait Gallery.

Luke and others rushed to the hotel by the airport bus. Two waiters offered to help with the luggage. Luke generously gave each person a tip of $5. After all, he now represents the entire lapd.

Luke is not a stingy person, but he rarely tipped the service staff a lot, and $5 was a lot for him.

The main reason is that he is not used to the tipping culture subconsciously.

Luke's own hotel room was booked uniformly by the government, and the cost was also funded by the government, but Luke's family's room cost was borne by him.

Luke is now worth nearly $200 million, and these expenses are just a drop in the bucket for him.

卢克本人住在701房间，他还预定了4个房间分别是710、711、712和713。

Grandpa lives in 710, Linda lives in 711, Fatty and Val live in 712.

Lu pulled the suitcase and walked to Room 701, and said to his family, "See you later."

Linda said, "Luke, pack up your things later, I'm going to visit your room and see how the White House reserved room is different from ours."

The little fat man shouted, "Me too."

Although Luke didn't think the room was any different, what could he say, "The door of the room is always open for you." Seeing his uncle's eager expression, Luke added, "Grandpa, uncle, you are also welcome to visit. "

Val said lightly, "Since you invited me so warmly, it's OK."

"Creak..." There was a sound of the door, and the door opposite Luke opened.

A burly black man walked out of room 702, more than 1.9 meters tall, fully bigger than Luke.

The black man sized Luke up, "Luke Lee?"

"When did I become so famous in Washington? Who are you?"

"Fatau Brandi, I'm here to accept the award just like you." The black man stretched out his right hand.

"Are you a policeman too?" Luke also extended his right hand to shake hands with the other party.

"No, I'm a firefighter from the Las Vegas Fire Department."

While speaking, Fatau Brandi's grip increased a little bit, with great strength, and Luke's hand was a little painful.

Luke felt that the other party was trying to show him off, and it was not easy to turn his face in front of everyone, and he couldn't pull out his right hand.

With a smile on his face, Luke clenched his left hand and punched the opponent's heart. It seemed like a friend was greeting him, but this punch was not light, and it directly stunned the black Fatau Brady.

Although the time was short, it was enough for Luke to retract his right hand.

Luke was still smiling, but he was ready for battle. The opponent was stronger and had certain advantages, but the most important thing in fighting was skill and ruthlessness.

In terms of fighting bravely, firefighters are definitely inferior to the police.

Fatau Brandi swept the back of his right hand across his left chest, "We know each other."

"I feel the enthusiasm from Las Vegas again, it's nostalgic."

"See you later." Fatau Brandi left without saying a word.

Val came over and looked at the back of Fatau Brandi, "When did you mess with this chimpanzee? He looks really strong.

I think he can kill a lion. "

"Excellence is always envied by others, just get used to it." Luke didn't take it seriously, turned and entered his room.

Because of the Las Vegas shooting incident, Luke stole the limelight, and things are two-sided. The better Luke performs, the more effective he is, and the more incompetent the Las Vegas police will appear.

Firefighters also belong to the concept of 'big police'. Although they do not belong to the same department, the two parties often work together to cooperate with each other, so they can be regarded as their own.

There are cooperation and conflicts between firefighters and the police, but they fall in love and kill each other internally. Once there is an 'enemy', they will be consistent with the outside world.

Most of the recipients of the Public Safety Medal of Valor are police officers and firefighters.

Luke slapped the Las Vegas police in the face. As a member of the Las Vegas Public Security Department, Fatau Brandi would naturally not be too friendly to Luke, otherwise, he would not be able to explain it when he went back.

If he was with Luke in Washington and went back to Las Vegas to go out with the police, those Las Vegas police officers would give him a good face.

However, I don't like to express my attitude directly, so I don't have to worry about the other party playing tricks.

……

After Luke cleaned up briefly, the little fat man, Val, Linda, and Robert came to visit the room.

After some comparison, they agreed that Luke's room was better, mainly reflected in two points. First, there was a greeting letter from the White House in Luke's room, and there was a piece of black chocolate that was eaten by the little fat man.

In addition, Luke's room is a side door, with an extra terrace, from which you can just see the White House.

The little fat man wanted to move to Luke's room to live together, but Luke sternly refused. His room was a big bed room, and he didn't want to share a bed with the little fat man.

Fatty and Val lived in a double room with two beds, which was more suitable.

After chatting for a while, the family went to the cafeteria downstairs for dinner.

The dishes are quite rich, salmon, beef and mutton, prawns, and oysters are enough.

The family chatted while eating, and Val and the little fat man would inevitably quarrel when they got together, and Luke was no stranger to it.

After dinner, free at leisure.

Luke went to the open-air bar on the top floor of the hotel.

Different from other bars, this bar is very warmly decorated, there are not many people in the bar, and you can only enter and spend with a room card.

Luke walked to the bar, and the bartender in a black vest asked, "Sir, what would you like to drink?"

Luke glanced at the wine list, and found that there are national liquors Moutai and Wuliangye. From this, we can see the influence of the wealthy people in Huaguo. "A glass of Wuliangye."

Maotai is good, but Luke doesn't like the smell of sauce.

"Sir, your wine will be charged to the room card bill."

"Thank you." Luke took a sip, and it tasted that way.

Wine is a good thing. Luke is planning to buy some good wine and save it when he has time.

"Hi, Luke, we meet again." A woman's voice sounded from the side.

Luke turned his head and looked, and it was Laura, a Latin beauty, wearing a long black dress with a protruding front and back, and a snake waist, very sexy.

"Laura, are you staying at this hotel too?"

"Yes, the company booked a room for me. I wanted a high-rise room, but they only booked a room on the fourth floor for me." Laura complained, sat next to Luke, leaned forward, The murder weapon is very dazzling.

"what do you do?"

"The financial industry. What about you?"

"police."

Luke looked at the other party carefully, it was really eye-catching... If you dare to wear it, I will dare to look at it.

Laura seemed to have noticed Luke's gaze, but she didn't pay much attention to it, and asked generously, "Would you like to buy me a drink?"

"Of course...but not today."

"I was rejected?" Laura looked disappointed.

"No, I'd love to buy you a drink, but I have an appointment today."

"Really?"

"Yes, he didn't lie to you." A Latin beauty with more outstanding appearance, temperament, and figure walked gracefully between the two of them.

Luke introduced, "Orti, this is Laura, we came here on the same plane."

Laura looked at Orti carefully, with a little embarrassment on her face, "I won't bother you, see you another day."

Ortie sat on the other side of Luke, looking at Laura's back, "Didn't bother you?"

"No, you came just in time."

"She looks pretty good, she seems to be interested in you too, most men would be tempted, you really have no idea?"

Luke looked at Orti, "There are more exciting things around me."

Ortie turned sideways to look at Luke, her willow eyebrows slightly moved, "Are you flirting with me?"

Luke asked back, "Any chance?"

Orti smiled and raised his hands, "I surrender, let's talk about business."

"Want something to drink? My treat."

"A glass of apple martini, thank you." Orti said to the bartender, then turned to look at Luke, "What are your plans for tomorrow?"

"Aren't you going to be my guide? You have the final say."

"Didn't you come with your family?"

"I can do it alone."

"Family is the most important thing, you should stay with your family.

After the investiture ceremony is over, I'll take you to the headquarters of the Pinkerton Detective Agency. "Orti took a sip of his cocktail,
"If you encounter any problems in Washington, you can tell me and I will help you solve them."

Luke leaned forward and said softly, "Help me find out about that woman just now."

"Laura?"

"Yes."

Ortie smiled, "Wow... Is Captain Li moved, or does he have other ideas?"

"I'll tell you when I find it, is it difficult?"

"a piece of cake."

"Waiting for your news." Luke picked up the wine glass and clinked glasses with Orti.

"Luke, so you're here." Val walked into the bar, waved at Luke, and walked over, "Hey, is this beautiful woman your friend?"

Luke introduced, "Ortie, my new girlfriend."

"Wow, wow..." Val opened his mouth wide and looked at Orti who was beside him with an unbelievable look on his face, "When did you get your girlfriend?

Is this beauty really your girlfriend? "

Orti laughed, "He's kidding, we're just friends, we just met in Washington."

Val was stunned for a moment, the beauty in front of him smiled sweetly, he was willing to believe it, but when he thought of Luke's analysis of his first love and newlyweds after getting off the plane - two friends from Los Angeles happened to come to Washington, and happened to be in the bar of the same hotel Meeting, this shows that the two have been in contact for a long time...

"I won't bother you?"

Luke nodded, "You have interrupted."

Val shook his fist at Luke and forced a smile at Orti, "Nice to meet you."

After finishing speaking, Val walked aside and said to the bartender, "Bring me a glass of the most expensive whiskey. Put it on the account of that bad boy just now."

"Sir, is that gentleman your friend?"

"I am his uncle."

"as you wish."

"bad boy.

Sure enough, beautiful women still like bad boys..."

……

Orti asked, "Who is he?"

"My dear uncle."

"It can be seen that you have a good relationship.

But why do you say I am your new girlfriend? "

Luke laughed. "I'm bragging."

"Bragging?" Orti leaned forward, pursing his red lips, "Will it be very face-saving?"

"Of course. You don't mind?"

"Looking at your tasteful face... I'm not going to be an example.

Thank you for the wine. "Orti put down a word and left with long legs.

Watching Ortie leave, Luke scanned the bar, looking for Laura, another Latin beauty.

The reason why Luke asked Orti to help investigate Laura was because he felt that Laura was deliberately approaching him, and secondly, he wanted to see the capabilities of the Pinkerton Detective Agency.

Luke saw Laura, sitting in the corner on the east side of the bar, and beside him was a burly figure, which was Fatau Brady, a firefighter from Las Vegas.

Fatau Brandi also seemed to see Luke and raised his glass to Luke.

Luke didn't know if he was showing his favor, or showing off that he had a beautiful woman by his side, and he didn't bother to think about it, so he raised his glass as a gesture.

The same Latin beauty, with Orti's jewels in front of him, he really has no interest in Laura.

This is the same as the college entrance examination, the difference of one point may be hundreds of rankings.

……

the next morning.

After the family finished eating, they officially started to play.

The first stop was the Capitol, a building that Washington himself laid the foundation stone for in 1793, with a white marble style and style.

There are a lot of tourists queuing up for this attraction, most of them are foreign tourists. Fortunately, Luke and the others went earlier and did not queue for too long.

The second scenic spot went to the National Art Museum. This art gallery is very characteristic. There are two completely different architectural styles in the east and west. The east side is a modernist geometric building, while the west side has a strong ancient Greek style. The exhibition hall There are more than 4 collections in total, including many famous calligraphy and paintings.

But the painting, it knows you, you don’t know it, there are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand viewers, how can the little fat man have the patience to look at this at his age, and he clamored to go to the Air and Space Museum after staying for more than half an hour.

Luke also wants to go. It is said that there are as many as 260 real planes alone. This is where men should go.

But the problem was that there was a woman in the line, so everyone stayed in the art gallery for more than an hour, and then dined at a famous local restaurant recommended by Orti.

In the afternoon, the little fat man finally went to the Aerospace Museum that he had been thinking about. It is really big and there are so many planes. It displays all kinds of planes, rockets, missiles, spaceships, and those used by famous pilots and astronauts. utensils.

Tourists from all over the world can enter and visit, but photography is prohibited.

Luke has opened his eyes, and just visiting this aerospace museum is already a worthwhile trip.

After watching the Air and Space Museum, the little fat man yelled to visit the National Museum of Natural History, but it was already a bit late, so he had to wait until the day after tomorrow.

……

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Luke returned to the hotel first and stood waiting at the door.

At around [-]:[-], a bus stopped at the door, and passengers got off one after another.

A middle-aged Asian man in casual clothes got out of the car. The man was about 1.8 meters tall, a little thin, and wore black-rimmed glasses.

Luke walked up quickly, "Uncle."

"Luke."

The two embraced.

"Let me help you with your luggage." Luke took the man's suitcase.

"The last time we met was during Chinese New Year."

"Correct."

Li Zhaonian looked at Luke, "Compared to the last time we met, you are much more stable."

"I was young and ignorant before, so I made you worry. I have already booked a hotel room for you." Luke led his uncle into the hotel.

The day before yesterday, after Luke contacted his father Li Zhaofeng, he always felt a little uncomfortable.

Afterwards, he called his grandfather to greet him and told him that he was coming to Washington to receive the award.

The old man was very happy and asked his uncle Li Zhaonian to come to Washington to attend the award ceremony on behalf of the family.

Luke reserved four hotel rooms, one of which was reserved for his uncle Li Zhaofeng.

Luke asked concerned, "How is my dad's health?"

"It's nothing serious, you don't have to worry."

"I'm thinking of going to New York to see him when the Washington side is over."

"No, he doesn't want Jack to know about it. Anyway, Christmas is coming soon. When the time comes, your brothers will go to New York together, and your dad will be free. You can also have fun with your brothers."

Luke nodded, "I was afraid that Jack would know about it, so I didn't let him pick you up."

"I'm not an outsider, why are you being polite to me. Didn't this little fat man keep clamoring to lose weight?"

Luke smiled, "You can see for yourself later."

Luke took his uncle to the hotel room, put down the suitcase, and went to the hotel restaurant for dinner together.

Li Zhaonian, Robert, and Val also knew each other. Although Luke's parents had divorced, the relationship between the two was pretty good.

The little fat man was very happy to see Li Zhaonian, pestered Li Zhaonian for a red envelope, and asked why his father didn't come?

Li Zhaonian could only use Li Zhaofeng's busy work as a cover.

The little fat man was a little unhappy, and only smiled after asking for a red envelope.

At the dinner table, Li Zhaonian drank a lot of wine and frequently toasted to Robert, Linda and Val.

One mouthful and one sister-in-law shouted, no matter how sincere they were, but the superficial relationship was maintained very well.

For a divorced family with little contact, this is enough.

Even if Li Zhaonian didn't look at his brother's face, he still had to look at his two nephews' face.

After the meal, Li Zhaonian drank a lot of wine, Luke sent him back to the hotel room, chatted with him for a while, and then went back to the room himself.

Tomorrow is the day of awarding honors, and it will be broadcast live nationwide, no, it should be seen by the whole world.

Luke can also attract a lot of attention just by killing the shooter in Las Vegas.

He used to be famous only in Los Angeles and Las Vegas, but after tomorrow, he might be noticed by the whole world.

Of course, this attention does not refer to everyone, but refers to people in the same industry or who follow similar news.

"Buzz." Luke's cell phone rang, and it was a text message from Orti.

She had already found out Laura's identity.

Seeing the specific content of the text message, Luke smiled.

Maybe he was overthinking, Laura's identity shouldn't pose a threat to him, it doesn't matter.

Luke replied, "Beauty, thank you."

"Good luck tomorrow, 'big hero'."

　Thanks to the book friends for the reward.
