Los Angeles Detective

  Chapter 22 Club (three more!)

  Two victims in the taser gun robbery were both stripped naked. It was thought that the murderer had some special hobby, but now it seems that it may be related to the stripping profession.

  The police checked the situation of the two victims, and neither of them was engaged in this profession, which did not conform to Luke's inference.

  Luke could only consider it from other angles. He searched the map of Los Angeles on the computer to find out where the two victims were robbed. From the map, the two locations were not far away, only a few streets apart.

  Luke took the two crime locations as the origin and searched for strip clubs within three kilometers. At the intersection of the two circles, there was a similar club—Bole Club.

   Luke speculates that the 'taser robbery' may have something to do with this club.

   If he guesses wrong, he will see the world. He has never seen this kind of program before.

  Luke took his cell phone and made a call, "Hey, David, are you asleep?"

  David said, "Sleeping."

   "Comeon, I have something to do with you, let's go out and have a drink."

   "Where to?"

   "Bole Dance Club..."

   As soon as Luke finished speaking, the phone was hung up.

   "What a boring old man." Luke complained, and called Little Black Marcus's number again.

   A voice with a rap rhythm came from the phone, "Dude, tell me something."

   "Got a moment? Go out for a drink."

   "It's the first time you invite me to drink, where are you going?"

   "The Ball Club."

   "Wow, this club is good...you have taste." Marcus smirked.

   Luke said, "In twenty minutes, drive to my door and pick me up."

"It's your treat?"

"certainly."

  Ten minutes later, a black Ford car stopped at the door, and Marcus waved to Luke through the window, "Man, hurry up, I can't wait."

  Luke got into the cab and asked, "Have you been to the Ball Club?"

   "I've been there once or twice before. The venue is not small, and there are black girls, white girls, Asians, and Mexicans." Speaking of this, Marcus patted Luke on the shoulder,

   "Hey, why are you suddenly enlightened?"

   "Drive well." Luke didn't bother to talk to him.

  If this guy was a policeman in China, he would have been arrested by the police.

  Marcus put the car in the parking lot near the club, and the two walked to the gate of the Ball Club.

   Above the door is a light sign that accepts Bitcoin.

   "There are two types of dance clubs, one does not charge tickets, and the other does. This one belongs to the latter." Marcus made a gesture of invitation, signaling Luke to go ahead.

  There are a few big men standing at the door to check their IDs. If you are not old enough, you are not allowed to enter.

  After Luke showed his driver's license, he entered the gate of the club. There was a ticket counter on the right hand side, and there was a sign with a ticket price of 20 dollars.

  Luke didn't pay, and took out the police badge directly, "I want to see your boss."

  The ticket seller was a middle-aged woman who looked at Luke in a dazed way, "What's the matter?"

"Are you the boss?"

   "No...our boss is not at the club right now."

   "It's okay, I can wait."

   Luke swaggered into the club.

   Marcus on the side was surprised, "Wow, what's the situation now? Are you here to watch the show or to investigate the case."

   "Watch the show before investigating the case."

   "You suspect this club has something to do with the Taser robbery?"

   Luke asked back, "What do you think?"

  Marcus didn't answer, his gaze was already attracted by the stage in the hall.

   To be precise, it was a few dancing girls on the stage.

  Caucasians and South Americans are mostly, most of them are lace, some are topless, some are not, but they all wear thongs.

  Some have excellent figures, while others are slightly fatter or flatter.

   Regardless of whether this club has anything to do with the taser robbery, Luke's visit was not in vain this time.

  Long experience.

  Luke ordered two bottles of beer, ten dollars each.

   Sit on the bar around the stage, enjoy the dance while drinking.

   What surprised Luke the most was that there were quite a few female guests at the scene, who were more energetic than he had seen.

  Marcus touched Luke's arm, "Man, which one do you like? I like the one next to the iron pipe." Marcus pointed to a black girl, "She's really good, I want to see her perform alone."

  Luke took a look. The black girl was average-looking, well-proportioned, and on the fat side. He didn't agree with Marcus's taste.

   Half an hour later, a black man wearing a gold necklace came over, "Two police officers, our boss invites you to go backstage."

   "OK, you lead the way." Luke has almost seen it, and it's just the same thing that goes back and forth, and it's not interesting to look at it for a long time.

   "Marcus, get to work."

   "Yeah, the good times are short."

  Led by the black man, the two entered the backstage. There are many partitioned cabins in the backstage. As long as they are willing to pay extra, they can watch solo performances. This is a legal business in Los Angeles.

  There were many girl dancers in the background doing makeup and changing clothes. Marcus grinned and said, "Wow, this place is even more exciting than the stage."

  The two were brought to a round table, and sitting next to them was a middle-aged man with long hair, red lips, eye shadow, and nail polish. He looked a bit motherly.

   "Sir, I am Paul, the owner of this club. I heard that you have something to do with me."

   "I'm Detective Luke, and this is my colleague Marcus. We want to ask you about two people."

   "I may not be able to help, but I'd be happy to..."

   "Thank you." Luke took out Tony's photo, "Have you seen this man?"

  Paul took a look at the photo with two fingers, then put it back on the table, "Who is he? Does it have anything to do with our club?"

   "We are investigating a robbery case. The man in the photo is the suspect under investigation. He may be a frequent visitor here."

   "Sorry, I can't possibly know every guest who comes here."

   "Please ask the staff to help identify it."

  Boss Paul handed the photo to his subordinates and whispered some instructions.

   After a few minutes, the photo was sent back, and Paul said, "My employee doesn't know the person in the photo. Sorry, it seems that I can't help you."

  Luke put away the photo and continued to ask, "How many girl dancers does your club have?"

   "About thirty people."

   “As a boss you should be very aware of the number of employees.”

Paul pondered for a moment and said, "This job has certain particularities and is highly mobile. Many people work part-time. They come today and leave tomorrow. They come when they are happy, and they may not come when they are not. The number of dancers is often It's changing."

   "I'm looking for a white woman in her thirties, with long blond hair, about 170cm tall, probably a female dancer in a club."

  Paul asked, "Why are you looking for her? She is also a robbery suspect?"

   "No, she is not a suspect."

   "Then why are you looking for her?"

  Marcus said, "Hey, it's not good for you to know too much, do what we say, it's better for everyone if we call it a day, OK?"

  Paul pursed his lips and tilted his head to the side, as if he was wondering if there was anyone similar. After a while, he ordered to his subordinates, "Call Kelly over here."

   "Kelly is the only dancer we have that fits your criteria, she's hot and you'll love it."

   Soon, a blonde girl in a bikini came over, "Boss, you are looking for me."

   "No, these two police officers are looking for you."

   "Wow, you are so beautiful." Marcus stood up and walked around the blonde girl. "Are you a resident dancer here? What day will you perform?"

  Kelly said, "I'm here from Tuesday to Friday, sir, what can I do for you?"

  Luke showed Tony's photo again, "Know this guy?"

   It is very important to catch up with the new book issue, so please don’t raise it.

   Ask for votes!
