Los Angeles Detective

  Chapter 476 Family is the most important

   Early morning.

  Luke packed his luggage into the trunk and drove the Mercedes-Benz G500 to his mother's house.

   He parked the car outside the yard and saw that Robert and Val had also arrived.

  The little fat man was standing in the yard, gesticulating with his hands and chatting happily with the two of them.

  Linda came out of the house dragging a big box, and locked the door, "Jack, come here and give me a hand."

   "Mom, I'm here." The little fat man ran over quickly. In order to get his mother to agree to go to Hawaii, he made a lot of promises.

  Robert shouted, "OK, Luke is here too, we can go.

  Everyone check to see if there is anything left behind. "

  The little fat man dragged the suitcase to the side of the Mercedes-Benz, and responded, "It was packed last night. Grandpa, hurry up and get in the car, we're off."

  Luke opened the trunk of the car and put the luggage of his mother, uncle, and grandpa into it. The entire trunk was stuffed to the brim.

   Everyone got into Luke's Mercedes-Benz and rushed to Los Angeles Airport.

  After arriving at Los Angeles International Airport, I checked in, went through security checks, and arrived at the departure hall smoothly.

  The family bought the earliest air tickets, and it was only six o'clock in the morning.

  The boarding time is half past six.

  Because of getting up early, Fatty and Val kept yawning.

  The little fat man asked, "Which one of you wants coffee? I'll buy it."

  Robert said, "I don't think it's a good idea.

  I know you are sleepy now, but you better bear with it and rest after getting on the plane. You can also sleep on the plane for a while.

   When I get off the plane, I can keep up my energy, and I can have a good time in Hawaii. "

  The little fat man asked, "Grandpa, how long will we take the plane?"

   "If the plane is on time, you can get to Hawaii in five hours, enough for you to rest on the plane."

   "What if you are not on time?"

  Robert patted him on the head, "Don't say such things, you won't want to know."

  The little fat man shrugged.

  Val yawned and said, "I'm too sleepy, I need to sleep for a while now, remember to call me when you get on the plane."

   "You young people are not as energetic as an old man like me." Robert pulled the suitcase in front of Val and watched the TV in the waiting hall a little bored.

  At this time, a piece of news is being broadcast on TV,

   "Good morning, viewers, I am Charlemagne, a news reporter from CBS TV station.

  I'm about to break an urgent news report. According to the news we just received, the son of real estate mogul Gary Sane Jr. has been kidnapped from a luxury private yacht off the coast of Los Angeles.

  At present, it is not known what the kidnapper's motive is, but according to reliable sources, the robbers extorted a sky-high ransom from Gary Sane, and may even break the record.

  We will continue to follow up and report..."

  Robert frowned and said, "Gary Sane, I know this guy. The Becca community is developed by his company. He is a very business-minded guy."

  The little fat man took out his phone and looked at it, "Since it's already on the news, why isn't there an Amber Alert?"

  Val yawned, unable to sleep in the noisy airport hall, "That means his son has grown up. Originally, I heard that his son was kidnapped, and I felt a little sympathetic.

  But when I heard that his son was kidnapped on a luxurious private yacht, I felt that my sympathy was a bit redundant.

  People like me have no qualifications to sympathize with each other. "

  Linda looked serious, and said thoughtfully, "From the news, there is a lot of movement in this case, Luke, the police station will not notify you to go back and investigate the case."

   "Mom, I'm on paid leave. This case has nothing to do with me. I'm not the only police officer in Los Angeles."

  Linda was still a little worried, "But you are the best one. I don't want your name to be heard on the radio just as we are about to board the plane."

  Luke waved his hand, "Because I am the best, I can't do everything, and I have to leave some opportunities for other colleagues to perform.

  I swear to God I'm not going anywhere today but Hawaii. "

   "OK." Linda replied, but she didn't seem completely relieved.

   Half an hour later, Luke and his party boarded the plane smoothly.

  The plane took off, passed through the clouds, and flew to the Hawaiian Islands.

  Luke closed his eyes and began to rest. In order to catch the plane, he got up before five o'clock this morning, and he is really sleepy now.

   Make up for sleep, and only have the energy to play in Hawaii.

   The journey was very smooth, without even encountering a turbulent airflow.

   After eating an airplane meal, I squinted for a while, and it was almost time to get off the plane.

   When the plane landed, there were some bumps and tinnitus.

  Although I have been on the plane many times, I will definitely feel a little nervous floating in the sky.

   "Boom!" The plane landed smoothly at Honolulu International Airport.

  Luke also breathed a sigh of relief and looked at his watch. It is now half past eight in Hawaii time.

  There is a three-hour time difference between Los Angeles and Hawaii.

  This is also the reason why they took the earliest flight. It was less than nine o'clock after getting off the plane, so they could play for a whole day.

  The state of Hawaii is composed of many islands, and the main means of transportation between the islands is by plane.

  Luke came to Hawaii for the first time. The main place to visit this time is Oahu Island, which is also known as the heart of Hawaii, and the capital is Honolulu.

  The five people got on the hotel bus and rushed directly to the Hilton Hotel, enjoying the beautiful scenery outside the window along the way. The scenery along the way alone makes people feel that the trip is worthwhile.

  After arriving at the hotel, five people checked in, and Linda got a room.

  Robert and Val share a room.

  The little fat man lives with Luke.

  After packing up their luggage, they rented an open-top Jeep Wrangler at the hotel and rushed to the first attraction of the trip—Dinosaur Bay.

  This is a famous attraction on Oahu and the only beach in Hawaii that charges a fee.

   The water in Dinosaur Bay is very shallow and the sea surface is very calm, so it is very suitable for snorkeling and swimming. It is said that the Aoguanhai family is a frequent visitor here.

  Luke and the others bought tickets in advance. After arriving at Dinosaur Bay, they listened to the staff's explanation, rented snorkeling equipment, and the five of them went into the sea.

  The sea water is sparkling blue-green, the water is very shallow and clear, fish and turtles shuttle around, the most beautiful thing is the colorful tropical corals, Luke's family is still taking pictures underwater to commemorate.

  It was noon, the snorkeling was over, everyone was hungry, Luke drove them to dinner.

  Luke drove the car to the urban area, found a local restaurant, and tasted the specialties of Hawaii Island.

  Garlic shrimp, luncheon meat rice balls, moon fish, roast pork, salmon fried rice, hot pancakes, seafood ramen, etc. Luke found that the local food was similar to some Japanese dishes, with a weird taste and not very tasty.

  After eating, Luke and his party left the restaurant.

  Luke just got into the car, the little fat man poked his head to the front row, pointed to the house not far away and said, "Brother, is that a thief?"

  In front is a three-story building, with shops on the first floor and residences on the second and third floors.

  A man got out of the window on the second floor, stepped on the sloping roof of the shop to the second floor of another house, and got in through the window.

Val took a bite of the mochi ice cream, and he didn't know if it was cold, but he was still surprised, "Wow, this thief is so courageous, he dared to break into the house during the day, and even stole from house to house, so no one cares? "

   Seeing this situation, Luke felt uncomfortable, but he couldn't control it. He couldn't leave his family behind to catch the thief.

   If he did that, he would have ruined the vacation.

   And this is Hawaii, not Los Angeles.

  Afterwards, Luke and his party rushed to the second place to play, the Polynesian Cultural Center.

  This is a non-profit organization dedicated to the preservation of Polynesian culture.

  There are seven indigenous villages here, where you can roam the villages by canoe and experience the different cultures of each tribe.

  In the evening, there is a sumptuous buffet dinner and folk song and dance performances.

  After that, Luke and his party returned to the hotel to rest, and the first day of play was over.

   Early the next morning.

   They rushed to Diamond Mountain and hiked up the mountain.

   This is an extinct volcano, a bit like a crater on the moon.

  The mountain is not high, and the scenery along the way is beautiful. It took about an hour for Luke and his party to climb to the top of the mountain. From here, you can overlook the panoramic view of the south coast of Oahu Island. The scenery is very beautiful and worthwhile.

  In the afternoon, the family went to Waikiki Beach and watched the sunset on a boat. The sea and the sky meet, like a fairyland.

  The beauty of this moment gave Luke a feeling of being settled here.

"Jingle Bell…"

  Suddenly, a discordant sound rang out.

  Luke took out his phone and looked at it, and the number displayed on the screen was Rhett's number.

   Luke hesitated for a moment, but still pressed the answer button, "Hi, boss, good afternoon."

  Red asked, "Is the scenery in Hawaii beautiful?"

   "Yes, I want to transfer to work here."

   "Haha, come back to reality as soon as possible, you belong to Los Angeles."

   "The law and order here is not very good, I think there is a lot to do here."

   "Have you watched the news in Los Angeles in the past two days? The law and order here has also become very bad. Los Angeles needs you."

   "No, I've been visiting for the past two days, what happened in Los Angeles?"

   "Have you heard about the kidnapping of real estate tycoon Gary Sane's son?"

   "I know this. I saw it on TV at the airport the day I left Los Angeles. Has the real estate tycoon's son been rescued?"

  "No, not only was she not rescued, but another kidnapping case occurred in Los Angeles, and another rich man's daughter was kidnapped."

  Luke said, "Suddenly feeling poor is not a bad thing."

   "That's right, the group of kidnappers has a clear goal, which is to ask for a ransom, a large amount of ransom."

   "You want me to return to Los Angeles to participate in the kidnapping investigation?"

  “It’s not my wish, it’s the strong request or request of the victim’s family.”

   "Why?" Luke wondered.

   "Is it difficult to understand? You are now well-known. You are the police detective with the highest success rate in solving major cases in Los Angeles, and you have also won the highest honor award for public safety officials.

   Having you around will make them feel more at ease, and they expect you to perform miracles and save the victim. "

   Luke sighed, "Boss, you should be very clear that I am a human being, not a god.

  I can't guarantee that I can solve every case, and even if I solve the case, I may not be able to save the kidnapped person. "

   "I know, but that doesn't stop them from wanting you to investigate the case.

  It's like seeing a doctor. Everyone hopes to be operated by the best doctor. "

  “I am very grateful for their trust, but I am in Hawaii now, and it will take some time to rush back to Los Angeles, and I don’t understand the case at all, so it may not be the most appropriate to take over now.

  Why didn't they find Anthony? Didn't the FBI often take over kidnapping cases? "

   Reed said, "If it is elsewhere, the FBI is naturally a good choice.

   But in Los Angeles, Robbery and Murder Division Luke Lee is the guarantee of solving the case.

  You don’t have to believe in the morals of rich people, but their vision is not wrong.

  They want to do their best to save their children. "

  Luke said, "Let me think about it and give you an answer tomorrow."

   Rhett responded, "OK, say hello to your family for me."

   "Forget it, I don't guarantee that my mother won't scold you."

  Rett smiled wryly, "I don't want to make this call either, you understand."

   Luke hangs up the phone and continues to admire the beauty of the beach.

  In the evening, the family dined at the restaurant next to the beach, drinking red wine and blowing the sea breeze, very comfortable.

  Val asked, "Luke, are you going back to Los Angeles early?"

   "Uncle, when will you get rid of the habit of eavesdropping?"

  Val showed an aggrieved look, "I didn't eavesdrop, it's just that I was standing at the lower air outlet, and the sound came along with the wind."

  Linda asked concerned, "Why did you go back early?"

  The little fat man was also dissatisfied, "Didn't we make an appointment to go to Gulan Ranch? I hope you can go together, this is our Familytime!"

   Luke said, "I know, I want to go too, but Reid called today, and the police department wants me to go back and participate in the investigation of a case."

  Robert asked, "Is it about the kidnapping of the real estate tycoon's son?"

   "Grandpa, how do you know?"

  Robert curled his lips, "Poor people are not qualified to choose the police officers who handle the case. Let alone your famous police detective."

   "A kidnapping case?" the little fat man muttered, "Well, if you want to save someone... then you can go back."

  Val put forward different opinions, "No, why do you want to go back? Just because the victim's father is rich?

this is not fair.

  You are on vacation now, you bought your own air ticket and booked your own hotel.

   If I go back now, who will pay the bill?

  The richer people are, the more stingy they are. No matter how rich they are, they will not give you a penny, let alone reimburse you for the return ticket.

  Don't be silly, stay here.

  There are so many police officers in Los Angeles, there is no shortage of you.

   But to the family, you are the only one. "

  Luke looked at Linda aside, "Mom, what do you think?"

   Linda shrugged, "I respect your opinion."

   "OK, everyone go to bed early tonight.

  Tomorrow we will go to Gulan Ranch. "Luke waved his hand, go to TM's investigation, family is the most important thing.
