LA Detective

Chapter 348 Danny
eight pm.

Luke rides a Harley to Daisy's house.

The lights were on in Daisy's house, and Luke was not in a hurry, so he smoked a cigarette before going in.

Luke walked into the room and saw Daisy walking down from the second floor, wrapped in a bath towel, "Just finished taking a shower?"

"I've been busy with the case all day, take a bath and relax."

"It's a pity. I wish I had come sooner."

Daisy walked to the tea table, picked up the red wine bottle and poured a glass of wine, "You drank a lot today, do you want another glass?"

"Why not?" Luke took the glass and took a sip.

Daisy took out a delicate bag from under the coffee table, "Happy birthday."

Luke was a little surprised, "Thank you, how do you know my birthday is today?"

Daisy turned her head slightly, "Please, I'm just busy with work, and I'm not stupid."

Luke opened the bag and found an exquisite box with the crown logo printed on it, and opened the lid to find a beautiful Rolex watch.

The black dial, gold hands, gold edge, and leather watch look stylish, majestic, and upscale.

Daisy took the watch and put it on Luke's wrist, "Do you like it?"

"Of course, I like it very much, but I have never been willing to buy it. Is it expensive?"

"It's not too expensive, just over $3000.

I originally wanted to buy you a more expensive watch, but since you have a mission to perform, I bought this one. "

Luke said, "I'll wear it when I'm on vacation.

I can't bear to scratch the gift you gave me. "

"No, I bought this watch for you to use at work. Don't worry about wearing it. If it breaks, I will give you a new one."

"I finally know why many men like to eat soft rice, I will always wear it." Luke put his arms around Daisy and kissed her on the cheek.

"You smell so much of alcohol, go wash up first, I have other gifts prepared."

"And presents? What?"

"You'll know in a while."

"You managed to arouse my curiosity."

Luke spent most of the day at the pet store today and really needed a good bath.

Luke came out of the shower, but Daisy was not in the bedroom, she probably went to prepare a gift, Luke was not in a hurry, and turned on the TV.

While watching TV, while waiting for her.

After a while, the door of the cloakroom opened, and Daisy was wearing a semi-transparent pajamas, and she could faintly see the graceful figure inside, black stockings and underwear.

Daisy is already a big beauty, with a beautiful appearance and a curvy figure, and wearing this dress, as long as a straight man can't control it.

Daisy went to the bed, sat straight on Luke's lap, and whispered softly, "Do you like this gift?"

"All the surprises today can't compare to this moment."

After ten o'clock in the evening, the two poker games were over.

Intermission.

Daisy went to the bathroom to wash up, while Luke lay in bed and watched TV.

Luke can also be regarded as the management of the police force. Although his rank is not high, his position is more important.

He pays more attention to the news in Los Angeles now. It is not a trivial matter to be on the news, and as long as it is related to the murder, it may involve Luke.

Luke changed several channels in a row, all broadcasting the same news.

Los Angeles Rams cornerback Danny Carter has been arrested by the Los Angeles Police Department for allegedly assaulting a 20-year-old female fan.

Americans love sports, and the NBA has the greatest influence in the world, but basketball only ranks third in the United States, and rugby ranks first in influence.

In February of this year, the Los Angeles Rams just won the Super Bowl championship. This is also the first time the Rams have won the Super Bowl championship after 2 years.

Danny Carter was very eye-catching in the Super Bowl, and his contract was renewed for 4 years with a salary of up to 8000 million US dollars.

The bathroom door opened, Daisy came out in her pajamas, and lay on the other side of the bed, "You are also following this case, do you have any inside information?"

Luke smiled and said, "No, I didn't participate in this case, but I'm just curious. There should be no shortage of women for such a rich and famous man. Why do you have to insist?"

"Maybe he's innocent."

Luke looked at Daisy's tender cheeks, "You are also his fan."

"No, I'm his lawyer."

"real or fake?"

"What's your tone, doubting my ability?"

"No, I just think you're still young..."

Daisy glared at Luke, "Lawyers rely on ability, not seniority, and I went to school early...can't I?"

"Of course." Luke changed the subject, "This is a big case, so there should be a lot of commissions, right?"

"Roughly estimated, there should be several million dollars, but money is not the most important thing, but the influence of the case is more important."

"Then aren't you a little rich woman?"

"It's not as simple as you said. First of all, the lawsuit must be won. Secondly, I am just a lawyer in the legal team, and there are two other female lawyers who are older than me in age, qualifications, and reputation."

"Are they all female lawyers?"

"Yes, it is easier for female lawyers to win the trust of juries in this kind of lawsuit, and they are more convincing."

Luke asked curiously, "Does Danny Carter have strong female fans?"

"He admitted that he had a relationship with a female fan, but on the premise of mutual consent."

"Do you believe him?"

"Of course, I'm his lawyer."

"And what if you're not his lawyer?"

Daisy didn't answer directly, but looked at Luke, "Are you interested?"

"Of course, this kind of celebrity scandal is a news that the whole people pays attention to, everyone will be curious, this is the best topic of conversation after dinner.

My mother and uncle must be dying of curiosity. "

"So are you interested in joining the case?"

"What do you mean?"

"Danny Carter has hired three lawyers, and maybe a fourth, maybe even a fifth, and I think there are enough lawyers.

Better to hire a good detective than more defense attorneys.

If more new clues can be unearthed, it will be more valuable than hiring a few more lawyers.

Interested? "

"To be honest...not very interested."

"why?"

"He wants a lawyer, not a detective, so what am I? Your deputy?"

"No, that's not what I meant.

You're in charge of investigating new leads in the case, and I'm in charge of making that evidence work in court.

Danny Carter has been living in Los Angeles, must have heard of your fame, I believe he would be very willing to hire. "

"Then how will my commission be calculated?"

"It's the same as the lawyers in the legal team, what do you think?"

"Sounds good, but I need to talk to him first before deciding." Luke is not a lawyer, he has a moral bottom line, and he will not help strong criminals get away with crimes.

……

seven in the morning.

Daisy gets up on time and washes up.

Compared with the past, she seemed a little excited today. This was the first time Daisy had received this kind of celebrity case, whether it was popularity, influence, or commission, she had never encountered it before.

It was luck that she was able to receive this case. First of all, she relied on the relationship of the law firm. Danny Carter was originally a client of the law firm. Second, because of gender reasons, most of the cases involving male enhancement were female defense lawyers.

She wanted Luke to intervene in the case as a detective for many reasons.

First of all, Danny Carter has already hired 3 lawyers, and may hire more lawyers in the future, but Daisy thinks this case is not too complicated, 3 lawyers are enough, no more What's the use, it's better to hire a well-known detective like Luke.

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

Secondly, Daisy is the youngest of the three lawyers, and it is almost impossible for her to defend in court, but with Luke joining, it is different. With the relationship between Luke and her, Luke found clues He would definitely tell her first that with Luke's help, she would have the possibility to defend in court.

The attention of this case is very high, and her popularity will also rise with the tide.

Finally, the commission for this kind of case is relatively high, even if it is shared by several people, it is still a considerable amount of income. Instead of letting outsiders share a piece of the pie, it is better to let Luke benefit.

Various thoughts flashed through her mind, and Daisy also made breakfast with this effort.

She usually eats a simple breakfast, milk, fruit, and a sandwich, but Luke eats a lot. With Luke here, she will also fry bacon and ham.

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

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

After Harley drove into the community, Luke didn't go home immediately, but went to the UPS smart self-pickup cabinet 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 the courier temporarily put it in the pick-up cabinet.

Luke opened the pick-up locker. It was a cardboard box with a length of 10 centimeters, a width of 8 centimeters, and a height of [-] centimeters. It seemed that the gift would not be too big.

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

Luke watched the seemingly boring thing for 2 minutes.

The fish food was almost eaten, and Luke used the key to open the express carton. There was a gray cardboard box inside, and a transparent plastic bag on the outside of the box.

Luke cut open the plastic bag and opened the box. Inside was a black spring retractable knife with a heavy handle and a switch above the handle. When pushed forward, a sharp blade popped out with serrations on the back.

The switch went back, and the blade retracted again.

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

After retracting the blade, the handle is only 12.5 cm, which is convenient to carry.

As a policeman, it is inevitable to encounter accidents. An extra dagger is also an extra self-defense tool.

Luke tried the handle and the handle felt good, and the blade was 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 seventh floor. Luke asked, "Does the suspect have no residence in Los Angeles?"

Daisy corrected, "It's the client."

"Sorry, that's fine."

"He has a villa in Beverly Hills, but the villa is full of reporters, which is too inconvenient.

After being released on bail, he stayed in the hotel. "

"What about his family?"

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

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

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

After a while, the door opened.

Standing at the door was a black guy in his 20s, with thick lips and headphones hanging around his neck. He was less than 180cm tall, with broad shoulders and a muscular build.

"Mr. Ellis, hello."

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

Danny Carter interrupted Daisy, "No introduction.

I know Captain Luke Lee, I've seen his news, he's a real tough guy. "

"I also watched your game, the fastest player in the game."

Daisy smiled, "You two gentlemen, can you flatter each other after entering the room?"

Danny Carter stepped aside, "Please come in.

Sorry, it's a bit of a mess in the house, I don't want to have someone come in and clean it right now. "

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

"I know, be careful with your words and deeds." Danny Carter sighed and sat down on the sofa, "I regret it to death, 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 the Pinkerton Detective Agency, so Luke didn't need to worry about it at all.

"Me too, just call me Danny.

Luke, I know you've worked on a lot of big cases. Is a case like mine a piece of cake for you? "

"Danny, before officially accepting your commission, I want to talk to you first."

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

"I heard from Lawyer Ellis that you are accused of participating in a strong case?"

"Yes."

"What's the name of the man who tells you that he's strong?"

"Billie Warwick."

"When did you have contact?"

"Night of November eighteenth."

"Have you known each other before?"

"No."

"On the night of November [-], did you have a relationship?"

"Yes."

"Did you force her?"

"Absolutely not.

She said that she is my fan, likes me very much, and is also very enthusiastic.

Invited me to her house for a cup of coffee and a relationship started naturally. "

"Then why did she call the police?"

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

Luke kept staring at the other person, and didn't see signs of lying on the other person's face.

In other words, he is innocent.

"OK, let's talk about commissioning."

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

I need your expert support right now, and if you are not willing to help... I will be helpless. "

Daisy has already negotiated the entrustment and commission. Luke intervenes in the case as a detective consultant, and also occupies a lawyer's seat. He can get the same percentage 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 the income he gets 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 took a sip from the wine glass on the coffee table,
"We had training that day, and after the end we went to the bar for a drink. Our team had an agreement not to drink too much alcohol. I just had a beer and enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere of the bar.

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

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

It felt good at the time. "

"What time did you arrive at the bar, which bar?"

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

"Is there surveillance in the bar?"

"I don't know very well."

"Did anyone see the two of you together?"

"Yes, my two teammates."

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

"It's not easy to take a taxi in that place, so I offered to drive her home, and she agreed.

In the car, we had a good chat.

I asked her if she had a boyfriend and she said she was single.

I drove her to the door of her house, and she took the initiative to invite me in for coffee, parked the car at her door, and went home with her. "

Danny Carter picked up the cigarette, lit it and took a sip, "We had another drink, the atmosphere was great...

I kissed her, she didn't say no, and then it was poker. "

"Where did you play poker?"

"On her sofa."

"How long did it take from the kiss to the end?"

"Seven and eight minutes."

"Did she resist verbally or physically at that time?"

"No."

"How long has the physical contact been?"

"I was very excited at the time, and it only took two or three minutes."

"Is there any genetic material left?"

"Yes."

"several times?"

"just one time."

Luke felt a little abnormal. How could such a young and strong guy have only one encounter with a beautiful girl he just met?
"What happened after that?"

"We went to her bedroom, she went to take a shower, I played with my phone on the bed, and then, I heard a familiar sound of a car...

I went to the window to check and my car had been taken away.

It's my new Porsche 911, and when I chase it out...my car is gone, I can't even see the taillights. "

"What time was it?"

"It was about eleven o'clock."

"Did you call the police?"

"Yeah, I called the police and then dealt with the stolen car.

The next morning I was working out in the yard and the police came to my house and thought they had found my car.

Turns out it wasn't the same cops at all, the new cops asked for my name and said Billie Warwick had called the police and claimed I had strengthened her last night.

I explained to them, but they didn't listen at all, and took him directly to the police station.

I swear to God, I'm telling the truth, I'm not forcing anyone, Billie Warwick is absolutely voluntary. "

Luke Q&A, "When did Billie Warwick call the police?"

"The morning of November 19th."

"Have you found your car?"

"No. That's what got me mad too, my car was stolen and the police didn't respond at all.

Someone falsely accused me, and the police arrested me directly.

Luke, can your Robbery and Murder Division take over this case? "

"Maybe if something happens to Billie Warwick."

"Are you joking?"

"No, I'm serious."
