Los Angeles Detective

  Chapter 333 Doubtful

  Fon Cruz is a master who is not short of money, and directly raised the commission to 200,000 US dollars.

  However, the money is not so easy to get. Not only must the person who wrote the threatening letter be found out, but also the safety of the engagement ceremony must be ensured. At the same time, the situation of Chanel Carr must also be found out.

   It can be simply understood that 50,000 yuan is a labor fee, and you can get 50,000 US dollars for each task completed.

  Luke can get a commission of 200,000 US dollars for completing three tasks, of which the Pinkerton Detective Agency takes 30%, and Luke can get the remaining 70%, which is 140,000 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, so he was somewhat under pressure.

  He is not investigating the case as a policeman, and this time the entrustment 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 keep it yourself.

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

   "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 sends 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, put his left hand on the car window, 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. "

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

  Luke patted the Mercedes-Benz, "Then 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 reminding me." Ortie stepped on the accelerator, and the car started slowly.

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

  Threatening letters, the safety of the engagement ceremony, doubts about Chanelle Carr.

   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 and looked, and Cowboy Tom came over on a horse, "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 under the sunlight.

   "I love it. What's it called?"

   "Grace."

  Luke pointed to the strong 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 for you."

   "OK, let's choose it."

  Tom jumped into the racecourse, saddled the brown pony and led it out of the racecourse, 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 inner reins when turning, and don't sit too **** the buttocks."

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

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

   Luke feels good sitting on the saddle, and his vision is better. Looking at the green pasture, he feels 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 buttocks were a little sore.

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

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

  Luke asked, "Is it going to fly away?"

   "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 man named Tom may be a good horseman, but he may not be able to teach others how to ride a horse.

  In case the horse is startled and falls off by itself, 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 on riding a horse.

  Although he didn't learn any skills, he is also a horse rider now, surpassing 95% of the people in the world.

  Luke looked in the direction of the racecourse and found that there were two more people over 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 in Luke's mind.

  Why come to ride a horse by yourself, and they also come?

   Are they here to take the initiative to find themselves?

   Mr. Cruise knew that his son would come to ride a horse, so he asked Tom to bring him along, creating opportunities 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 they will occasionally 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 racecourse. "

   "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 actually not good at teaching others to ride horses."

  Tom took the rein and walked towards the racecourse, and shouted to the man who helped his daughter onto the horse, "Hill, Miss Irene, good afternoon."

  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 turned over and dismounted, "Hi, Mr. Hill Cruise, I'm Luke Lee."

"Hello."

   Two people shake hands.

   Luke looked at the other party. The man looked to be in his early fifties, a little fat, and somewhat similar to Veron Cruise, both with blond hair.

   "Mr. Hill Cruise, can we talk alone?"

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

   "No need, I have already learned 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 it well. It is 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 want to talk about the threatening letter?"

   "Exactly."

   "You suspect that I wrote the threatening letter?"

   "I suspect everyone, including your father."

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

   "Have you read that threatening letter?"

"Yes."

   "Do you have anyone you suspect?"

   "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 consultant 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 recipient 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 Cruz is indeed very generous."

   Hill Cruise said, "You said just now that you want to ensure the safety of everyone in the manor?"

"Yes."

   "I also received a threatening letter, why don't you investigate it as well. It may be 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 are a few lines of red writing written in red, 'Cruz's bastard, 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 mind? Ha ha…

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

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

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

   Judging from the existing 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 by the way."

  Luke smiled, "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 the 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 any signs of lying. The threatening letter to Veron Cruz probably had nothing to do with him.

  However, what makes Luke a little depressed is that the first threatening letter has not been checked yet, and a new threatening letter has been added.

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

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

  It's right to think about it, if it is simple, the other party will not pay a commission of 200,000 US dollars.

  …

   Seven o'clock in the evening.

   Cruise Farm is on time for dinner.

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

  There are sumptuous dishes on the dining table, and the Cruise family sits together, except that there is one more Luke.

  After praying before the meal, everyone began to eat.

  Fon 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 took a sip from his glass.

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

  Luke sized up the other party. He looked about fifty 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 said with a smile, "Probably not. If I 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?"

   "Isabella."

   "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 the clues of the first threatening letter, but also had more doubts.

  The big family is really full of feathers.

   "Dingling..." Luke's cell phone rang. He took out his cell phone and saw that Ortie's number was displayed on the screen.

  Luke pressed the answer button, "How is my car?"

  Orti 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."

"Thanks."

  Orti changed the subject and started talking 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 circle, and moved to New York with her husband.

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

  Three years ago, she returned to Los Angeles. "

   "Is there any more detailed information?"

   "The time is a bit 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 Foon Cruz at 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 in the manor today?"

   "I met the family of Hill Cruise, 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.

   It is likely that it was written 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."

   "Do 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, find her information and send it to me."

   "OK, be safe."

"Good night."
