LA Detective

Chapter 333 Doubtful Points
Veron Cruz is a master of money, and directly mentioned the commission to 20 US dollars.

However, this money is not so easy to get, not only to find out the person who wrote the threatening letter, but also to ensure the safety of the engagement ceremony, and at the same time, to find out the situation of Chanel Carl.

It can be simply understood that 5 yuan is a labor fee, and you can get [-] US dollars for each task completed.

Luke can only get a commission of 20 US dollars after completing three tasks, of which Pinkerton Detective Agency takes 30.00%, and Luke can get the remaining 70.00%, which is 14 US dollars. (before tax)

This commission has far exceeded Luke's reserve fund from the lottery system.

However, this was the first time Luke accepted the commission as a detective, and he was somewhat under pressure.

He is not investigating the case as a policeman now, and the entrustment this time is not a criminal case, and the investigation method has also changed.

First of all, it is impossible for him to directly record the relevant personnel like the police. He needs to have a new identity and communicate with the other party in a reasonable way.

After thinking about it, Luke decided to live in the manor as a security consultant before the engagement ceremony. It would be easier to communicate with other people and conduct secret investigations in this capacity.

Cruise Manor Villa, in the guest room on the first floor.

Luke pushed open the window on the south side and smiled at Orti who was sitting on the sofa, "This room is nice, are you sure you don't want to stay together?"

Orti said, "It's too eye-catching for a beauty like me to suddenly appear in the manor, it's better for you to stay.

It's also more convenient for me to be outside, and I can help you with some errands, such as looking up Chanel Carr's information. "

"That's fine." Luke came here to make money, and picked up girls just incidentally. He asked, "When are you going to leave?"

"Set you down and I'm leaving."

"I send you."

Luke leaves the room and walks Orti to the parking lot.

Orti shook the key of the Mercedes-Benz, "Then your big baby, I'll drive away."

"Don't forget to pick me up."

Orti sat in the cab, leaning on the window with his left hand, and asked curiously, "Will the police stop me if I drive it for speeding?"

"You can try.

But, it's best not to let me know, otherwise, I won't promise not to spank you. "

Ortie pouted, "I won't give you this perverted chance."

Luke patted the Mercedes-Benz, "Then you should treat it well."

"I'm going to carry it back to Los Angeles, what do you think?"

"Maybe it prefers to be held."

"Thank you for the reminder." Orti kicked the accelerator, and the car started slowly.

"You're welcome." Luke waved at the car, preparing to take a walk around the farm and think about the entrusted task this time.

Threat letters, the security of the engagement ceremony, Chanel Carr's doubts.

There must be a certain connection between the three, and what Luke has to do now is to find a breakthrough.

"Da da..." There was a sound of horseshoes.

Luke turned his head to look, and Cowboy Tom rode over, "Mr. Li, I heard from Mr. Cruise that you want to learn how to ride a horse?"

During the meal just now, Luke did mention horse riding to Veron Cruz, but it was just casually, but since there is this opportunity, why not try it?
Going to a special racecourse would cost a lot of money, and Luke might not have the time.

Led by Tom, Luke came to the horse farm. On the east side of the horse farm is a stable, which is very clean and has many independent single rooms. Outside the stable is a field surrounded by wooden fences. Take a leisurely walk on the horse farm.

Tom pointed to the south side of the racecourse, "Mr. Li, what do you think of that horse?"

Luke looked in the direction he knew, and saw a tall black horse, with smooth fur and strong limbs, like a black brocade in the sunlight.

"I like it very much. What's its name?"

"Grace."

Luke pointed at the sturdy black horse, "Is it a mare?"

Tom smiled, "Mr. Li, you are coming closer." Tom pointed to a brown pony next to him, "I'm talking about it."

"Hehe... That black guy completely covered it up." Luke smiled awkwardly.

"I see what you mean, but it's your first time riding a horse, and Grace is more suitable for you."

"OK, then choose it."

Tom scrambled and jumped into the racecourse, saddled the brown pony and led it out, stroked its mane, "Come on, Grace is very docile, very suitable for beginners."

"Is there anything I need to pay attention to?" Luke was riding a horse for the first time, and he didn't want to hurt himself.

"Step on the stirrups, hold on to the reins, pull the inside reins when turning, and don't sit too hard on your buttocks."

"It doesn't sound very difficult." Luke took a deep breath, grabbed the saddle, stepped on the stirrups, and turned on the horse.

"I'll hold the rein and take you for a walk. At first, you will feel a little bumpy. Straighten your back and undulate with the rhythm of the horse." Tom pointed to Luke while holding the rein.

Luke felt pretty good sitting on the saddle, and his vision was better. Looking at the green pasture, he felt quite like a royal horse outing.

Tom walked faster and faster, and finally began to trot all the way. Luke was getting more and more jerky on the horse, and his butt was a little sore.

It would be nice to have a learning card of the horse riding type now.

Tom led the horse around and asked, "Mr. Li, do you want to try it yourself?"

Luke asked, "Will it suddenly gallop?"

"As long as you are not surprised, generally not."

Luke was a little hesitant. Although riding a horse is very cool, it is also a technical job. It cannot be learned in a day or two. This Tom may be a good horseman, but he may not be able to teach people how to ride a horse.

In case the horse was startled and fell off the horse, it would be a minor embarrassment, but the injury would not be worth the loss.

Luke just wanted to try riding, but he didn't have that much energy and thought to spend on riding a horse.

Although he didn't learn any skills, he is also a person who has ridden a horse now, which has surpassed 90.00% of the five people in the world.

Luke looked in the direction of the racecourse and found that there were two more people there, a white man brought a girl into the racecourse.

"who are they?"

"Mr. Cruise's son Hill Cruise and granddaughter."

A few thoughts suddenly flashed through Luke's mind.

Why do you come to ride a horse yourself, and they come too?
Are they here to take the initiative to find themselves?

Or Mr. Cruise knew that his son would come to ride a horse, so he asked Tom to bring him along, creating an opportunity for the two to talk.

Or was it Tom's own idea?
"Does Mr. Hill Cruise like riding horses?"

Tom replied, "The Hill family lives in Los Angeles, and occasionally they will come back to the manor for a short stay, and it is estimated that they will come back this afternoon.

Recently, he was teaching his daughter how to ride a horse and often came to the horse farm. "

"Thank you, Tom.

I may not be a horse riding material, can you introduce Mr. Hill Cruise to me? "

Tom was amnesty, "Of course, I'm not very good at teaching others to ride horses."

Tom took the reins and walked to the racecourse, and shouted to the man helping his daughter to mount, "Good afternoon, Hill, Miss Irene."

The man looked at Luke, "Tom, who is this gentleman? It seems to be the first time I've seen him."

"This is Mr. Li, the security consultant that Mr. Cruise just invited."

Luke got off his horse and said, "Hi Mr. Hill Cruise, I'm Luke Lee."

"Hello."

The two shake hands.

Luke looked at each other. The man looked to be in his early 50s, a little fat, somewhat similar to Veron Cruz, and both had blond hair.

"Mr. Hill Cruise, can I speak alone?"

Hill Cruise looked at his daughter, "Honey, can you wait for me for a while?"

"No need, I have already learned how to ride a horse, you can rest assured to talk to this gentleman." After finishing speaking, the little girl waved the rein and rode away on the horse.

Hill Cruise smiled helplessly, "Mr. Li, I made you laugh."

"No, she rides better than me. How long have you been practicing?"

"In less than two months, I will practice about once a week."

Luke probably knew that it was not realistic for him to learn how to ride a horse in a short time, so he started to talk about the topic, "Mr. Cruise, can I ask you a few questions?"

"You mean about the threatening letter?"

"Yes."

"You suspect that I wrote the threatening letter?"

"I suspect everyone, including your father."

Hill Crews smiled, "Your idea is very interesting, if it is really written by the old man, it will be interesting."

"Have you read the threatening letter?"

"Yes."

"Are you suspicious?"

"Maybe, but I won't tell you."

"You didn't write that letter, did you?"

"No." Hill Cruise shook his head, "I like direct people, but sometimes being too direct can be annoying."

Luke smiled, "I'm sorry, but as the security advisor of the manor, I need to be responsible for the safety of everyone in the manor."

Hill Cruise looked at Luke, "Who are you?"

"My job is to be a police officer."

"No wonder it looks familiar. I seem to have seen it on the news... You are the winner of the Public Safety Officer Medal. It seems that the old man spent all his money this time and invited you here."

Luke laughed, "Mr. Veron Cruise is indeed very generous."

Hill Crews said, "You just said you wanted to ensure the safety of everyone in the manor?"

"Yes."

"I also received a threatening letter, why don't you investigate it as well. Maybe it was written by the same person."

"When did you receive it?"

"Yesterday morning."

"Where did you find it?"

"At my house in downtown Los Angeles, someone threw the envelope on the lawn."

"Can I take a look?"

"I didn't bring the original, only the photo." Hill Cruise took out his phone from his pocket and clicked on a photo.

On a piece of white paper, there were a few lines written in red, 'You bastard of the Cruise family, you are a thief and a robber.

People like you usually die badly.

Heard your dad found you a new mom, are you ready to change your tune?Ha ha……

We'll meet soon... get ready for God's wrath. '

Hill Cruise put away his cell phone, "Officer Li, what do you think of this threatening letter?"

Luke said, "This letter was handwritten, and the other threatening letter was printed. In addition, the tone and content of the two threatening letters were different, and the places where the threatening letters were posted were also different.

Judging from the current situation, it should not be done by one person. "

"But from his tone, he also knows about the engagement ceremony, and he might come here to make trouble. Aren't you responsible for the safety of the engagement ceremony? You can check it out by the way."

Luke smiled, "Do you want me to help you investigate this threatening letter for free?"

Hill Cruise spread his hands, "I'm just giving you some clues."

"You must be a successful businessman."

"Haha...thank you for your compliment.

This sentence must be told to my father.

Thanks for your hard work. Hill Cruise patted Luke on the shoulder, turned and left, "See you at dinner." "

Luke talked to him just now, and he didn't see signs of lying. The threatening letter to Veron Cruz probably had nothing to do with him.

However, what made Luke a little depressed was that the first threatening letter hadn't been checked yet, and there was a new threatening letter.

And there is a high probability that it was not made by one person.

It seems that this entrustment is not as simple as imagined.

It is right to think about it, if it is simple, the other party will not pay a commission of 20 US dollars.

……

Seven o'clock in the evening.

Cruise Farm is on time for dinner.

Compared with noon, the evening was much more lively. In addition to Luke and Veron Cruise, the Hill Cruise family was added.

There are sumptuous dishes on the table, and the Cruise family sits together, except for one more Luke.

After praying before the meal, everyone began to eat.

Veron Cruise said to his son, "Hill, this is the security consultant I just invited, Mr. Luke Lee."

"Mr. Li and I have met in the afternoon, and he praised me as a successful businessman." After Hill Cruise finished speaking, he raised his red wine glass and gestured to Luke.

Luke also picked up his glass and took a sip.

He had met Hill Cruise and his daughter, Irene, his wife for the first time.

Luke looked at the other party. He looked about 50 years old. He still had charm, elegance, and temperament. He was probably a beautiful woman when he was young.

Luke looked at each other, feeling familiar, "Ma'am, have we met before?"

The woman smiled and said, "Probably not. If I ever see a handsome guy like you, I will definitely remember it."

Luke smiled, "When I saw you, I also felt very kind. What's your name?"

"Isabel."

"Nice to meet you, ma'am."

……

After dinner, Luke went back to the bedroom.

Start analyzing today's situation.

Seeing Hill Cruise's family of three, Luke not only failed to find clues about the first threatening letter, but also had more doubts.

The big family is really full of chicken feathers.

"Dingling..." Luke's cell phone rang, and he took out his cell phone to see that Ortie's number was displayed on the screen.

Luke pressed the answer button. "How's my car?"

Ortie was stunned for a moment, and joked, "Wow...it seems that I am not as important as a car in your heart?"

Luke laughed, "I want to know how many tickets are posted on the car?"

"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you. Your car is fine. I washed it this afternoon."

"Thank you."

Orti changed the subject and started to talk about business, "I found Chanel Carr's information.

She was an actress before, and she has filmed several TV series, so she is considered a little famous.

Later, she married a wealthy businessman, quit the entertainment industry, and moved to New York with her husband.

Ten years ago, her wealthy businessman husband went bankrupt and the two divorced.

She only returned to Los Angeles three years ago. "

"Is there any more detailed information?"

"The time is short, and I only found this information for the time being. If you need it, I will continue to investigate her situation."

Luke thought for a while, "I heard from Veron Cruz during dinner today that Chanel Carl might come to the manor tomorrow, and I will meet with her at that time to test her situation."

Orti asked, "Did you find anything at the estate today?"

"I met the Hill Cruise family, the son of Veron Cruise.

Yesterday, Hill Cruise also received a threatening letter, but the location and handwriting of the threatening letter were different, and the tone of the threat was also different.

Most likely it was made by another person. "

"This commission is more troublesome than imagined. Is there anything else I need to do?"

Luke thought of the woman he met at dinner, "Help me find Hill Cruise's wife, Isabel Cruise."

"You suspect that she has something to do with the threatening letter?"

"It's hard to say for the time being. You should investigate first. If you find her information, send it to me."

"OK, be safe."

"Good night."
