Los Angeles Detective

  Chapter 350 background board

   After eating.

   Xiao Hei said goodbye to Luke and drove away.

  Luke sits in the cab of the car smoking a cigarette while thinking about things.

  Since he has accepted Danny Carter's entrustment, and the commission given by the other party is also very generous, naturally he must do his best.

   It is definitely not enough to rely on Xiao Hei alone. Luke still needs to investigate from other aspects.

   In addition, being a detective is different from being a policeman. If Luke is now talking as a policeman, he must ask the female victim Billie Warwick for information.

   But not now. Luke's identity is not suitable for direct contact with Billie Warwick. Even if he conceals his identity to contact the other party, once he asks about **** topics, the other party will avoid talking about it.

  Luke needs to abandon the familiar way of handling cases and investigate the case as a detective.

  Of course, the investigation method of this detective will also have certain personal characteristics. After all, the nature of the country is easy to change.

   First, Luke contacted Ortie and asked her to investigate Billie Warwick's information and surrounding relationships.

   It's not free, he pays standard.

   Actually, it was convenient and cost-effective for him to use the resources of the police department to investigate Billie Warwick, but after careful consideration, he gave up this idea.

   If it’s just an occasional investigation of someone in the police system, no problem, just like Luke investigated Daisy’s father before.

   But Luke can no longer directly get bonuses from the detective system. He needs new means of making money. With his current reputation, he will be very profitable as a part-time detective. If he doesn't do it, his reputation will be wasted instead.

  If detectives are regarded as part-time jobs, they may often have to investigate some people's information in the future, and it is not appropriate to frequently use police resources.

   Spend a little money and have peace of mind.

   This fee is a drop in the bucket compared to his commission.

   After chatting with Ortie, Luke contacted the informant Alec Lauer and asked him to monitor near Billie Warwick's house. Although there may not be any gains, there are still some arrangements that should be made.

  No low-level mistakes can be made.

  After assigning these tasks, Luke drove home and went to bed.

   Have a good sleep and rest to ensure normal work the next day.

  The next morning.

  After Luke got up, he poured a cup of coffee and sat in the yard to drink coffee.

  Generally speaking, when Luke is on vacation, he will drink tea, and when he is working, he will drink a cup of coffee in the morning.

  Tea is still more delicious when you drink it in a leisure situation. If you have something on your mind, you can’t drink that taste.

   After drinking coffee, Luke didn't bother to cook, so he drove to a nearby Chinese restaurant for breakfast.

   A bowl of beef noodles, two side dishes.

  Large slices of beef, very thick and chewy.

  The side dish is mixed with three shreds, beef tripe in red oil.

  If you say which Chinese food in Los Angeles is the most authentic, it is definitely this beef noodle dish. The amount of beef kills 95% of the noodle restaurants in China.

  The noodles are also very chewy, and the authentic ramen masters immigrated from China.

   After eating a bowl of beef noodles, I feel comfortable and satisfied.

"Jingle Bell…"

  The phone rang.

  Luke pressed the answer button, "Good morning, beauty."

  Orti’s voice came from the phone, “Where are you?”

   "Breakfast at a noodle shop, miss me?" Luke laughed.

   "That's right, I miss you, do you have time today? Let's meet."

  Luke thought for a while, "Not during the day today, how about at night?"

   "Forget it at night, I'm used to sleeping in beauty sleep." Orti changed the subject, "The person you want to investigate has already been found."

   "It's very efficient, and it will be sent to my mailbox later."

  Orti asked back, "You have nothing to say to me?"

"Thanks."

   "That's not what I want to hear." Orti hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Are you investigating the Danny Carter X **** case in private?"

   "Wow... so you are asking this." Luke hesitated a little, and explained, "Danny Carter is a friend of a friend of mine. He is in trouble. You should have read the news.

  My friend asked me to help Danny Carter be innocent. "

   "Danny Carter is very lucky to meet you."

  Luke laughed, "Your tone seems a little 'jealous'?"

   "I don't have one." Orti hung up the phone directly.

As for Orti's thoughts, Luke can probably guess some. Luke and Orti have known each other for a while, and Luke also signed a consulting contract with Pinkerton Detective Agency, but Luke has been unwilling to formally accept the entrusted task. .

  Some time ago, Ortie was soft and hard, and Luke only accepted a mission.

   Now that a few days have passed, Luke has left her alone to take on the task, and asked her to help investigate the relevant personnel. She must have an idea in her heart.

   This can be considered a normal reaction. Why is the other party not showing any emotion, Luke has to worry instead.

  Women, it's normal to be emotional, but it's fine if you coax them, it's a small problem.

  Luke clicked on the phone mailbox and began to check Billie Warwick's information.

  Name, Billie Warwick

  Age, 20 years old

  Occupation, restaurant server

   Relatives, mothers, live-in boyfriends.

  Ethnicity, African American

   License plate number, 3CVb328

  Address, No. 209, Napley Community

   At the same time, there are photos of Billie Warwick, her mother, and her boyfriend below the information.

  After reading the information, Luke had a general understanding of Billie Warwick's situation.

   Sure enough, Billie Warwick has a boyfriend, which should be one of the reasons why the police believed that Danny Carter was suspected of sexual assault.

  …

  Napoli Community No. 209.

  Luke drove to the neighborhood of Billie Warwick's house.

   On the way here, he was worried that Alek Lauer would be discovered by Billie Warwick.

  After arriving in the community, I found that my worries were completely unnecessary.

There are a lot of cars parked in the community. After a quick glance, Luke found that there was something wrong with these cars. Most of these cars were piled up near Billie Warwick's house, and there were people in the cars. They didn't open the windows or start the car. Apparently also to 'watch' Billie Warwick.

   As for who they are, it is not difficult to guess.

  High probability is a journalist.

  Danny Carter is an influential football star. As long as this case is not over for a day, there will be continuous enthusiasm, and the public will love it. Naturally, the TV station will not let go of such good news materials.

  They couldn't find Danny Carter himself, so they started thinking about Billie Warwick. If they could get an exclusive news about Billie Warwick, it would also be popular.

   Afterwards, Luke and Alek Lauer met and asked about the stalking situation last night.

  Anleke Lauer was depressed, there was a strong smell of cigarettes in the car, and his upper and lower eyelids began to fight.

  Luke brought him a hamburger and coffee, "Go home and sleep after eating."

  Anlek Lauer hurriedly took a sip of coffee, grinning his teeth hotly, "I haven't drunk water for several hours."

   "Remember to buy two bottles of water in advance next time."

   "I just don't want to pee in the car."

   "Only by drinking enough water can the body maintain a good condition. You should try to overcome it."

  Anlek Lauer said seriously, "I tried...and I can't urinate."

  Luke didn't want to continue this topic, "Tell me about what happened last night."

   "After receiving your call, I found this place according to the address.

  The lights were still on in the house at the time, and people could occasionally be seen passing by the window. Among them, the woman was the target person. The man had physical contact with her, and it felt like a quarrel had taken place.

  At eight o'clock this morning, the man drove out.

   But the woman is still in the house and has never come out. "After Alec Lauer finished speaking, he took a big bite of the burger.

  Luke took out a photo of Billie Warwick's boyfriend, "Is that him?"

   "That's right, it's him."

   "This is Billie Warwick's boyfriend." Luke pressed, "Has anyone else been here?"

"No."

   "It's hard work. After eating, go back to sleep." Luke took out three hundred dollars from his purse and put them in the car.

   "Are you still using stalking tonight?"

   "Wait for my call." Luke said, got out of the car and left.

   Judging from Alec Lauer's description, Billie Warwick does have a boyfriend. The two had a quarrel last night. Luke guessed that it might be related to the X-raid case.

  From this point of view, it is unlikely that the two of them will join hands in Immortal Dance.

  After Anlek Lauer left, Luke continued to follow in the car, and Billie Warwick just took a breath in the backyard, and soon returned to the house.

  One morning passed, and Luke didn't get any valuable clues.

   In addition, there has been no news from Xiao Hei.

  Luke can't just keep waiting. If Xiao Hei doesn't find out the news in the end, wouldn't he be dumbfounded.

  In the afternoon, Luke's stalking still made no progress.

  He decided not to wait, and asked Daisy to act together.

  At three o'clock in the afternoon, Daisy rushed to the community to meet Luke.

  Daisy is wearing a professional dress, with a curvy figure and the ability of a professional woman. "Did you find any new clues?"

   "No."

   "Then what did you ask me to do?" Daisy looked like I was very busy.

   "I want you to investigate together?"

   "How to investigate?"

  “Whether it’s a car theft or an X-raid case, it happened in this community, and there are likely to be witnesses during the crime.

  We can walk around and ask, maybe we can get valuable clues. "

  Daisy asked, "What is my role?"

  "First of all, you are beautiful. If you are a male neighbor, as long as you are not crooked, you will basically open the door to you and are willing to chat with you.

  Secondly, women can lower the vigilance of respondents, which is very important.

  The last point is that you are a lawyer. This status is very important and it is easy to gain the trust of others. "

   "So, you asked me to be the background board."

"The background board also has the advantage of the background board. At least you can get new clues in the first place. Even if the other two lawyers want to be, I will not give them a chance." Luke emphasized his tone. Talking about work is not about love. Must be in hand.

   "If I'm the backdrop, what are you?"

   "Whiteboard eraser."

  …

   "Boom..."

  Daisy knocked on the door of Billie Warwick's neighbor's east side.

   After a while, the door opened, and a black man in his thirties stood at the door, "Hey, beauty."

   "Hello, my name is Daisy, and I'm a lawyer." Daisy handed the business card to the other party, and pointed to Luke beside him, "This is my assistant."

  The black man took the business card, "Beautiful lady lawyer, what can I do for you? I don't think I can afford to hire you."

  Daisy pointed to the house next to her, "Actually, I want to know something about your neighbor Billie Warwick."

   "Billie Warwick?"

"Yes."

   "I'm not familiar with her either, the house belongs to her boyfriend."

   "How long has she moved here? What's her boyfriend's name?"

   "It's been about half a year, and her boyfriend's name is Redo Geithner."

   "What about their relationship?"

   "I don't know how their private relationship is, but it's not bad on the surface."

   "What does her boyfriend Reido Geithner do?"

  The black man asked, "Whose lawyer are you?"

   “I am an attorney for another person involved in this case.”

   "Danny Carter?"

"Yes."

   "Wow...I should have thought that only rich people like him can hire such a beautiful lawyer."

  Daisy tentatively asked, "Did you see Danny Carter that night?"

   "No, I was watching a football game that night, and I didn't know what happened until the police came."

   "What do you think about this?"

   "Hehe...Actually, as a neighbor, I'm not very good at commenting.

   But anyway, a woman living in her boyfriend's house should not let a man who has thoughts about her into the house.

  If I were Raymond Geithner, I'd be blown up. "

   "That night, did you hear any unusual movement?"

   "No, I was watching the game that night." The black man shrugged, "Miss Lawyer, I'm glad to chat with you, but I really don't know what happened that night, sorry."

  After the black man finished speaking, he returned home and closed the door.

   Daisy left the yard and asked, "Didn't you let me be the background board? It seems that I have been asking questions."

   "If it was me, the guy would have closed the door before I could say anything about the problem."

  Daisy laughed, "Then how will you repay me?"

   "Thank you for your hard work, I will give you a full body massage tonight."

   Daisy "…"

  …

   "Boom..."

  Daisy knocked on the door opposite Billie Warwick's house.

   No response.

   "Boom..."

  Daisy continued to knock.

   After a while, I heard footsteps, and the door opened with a 'creak'.

  A black aunt stood at the door, looked at Daisy, then at Luke, "Who are you?"

   "Hello ma'am, my name is Daisy and I am a lawyer."

"Is there a problem?"

   "I want to ask you something."

  The black aunt pointed to the opposite house, "You mean that girl was raped by X?"

   "Do you know that girl?"

   "Yes, but I don't understand, just say hello."

   "Were you home that night?"

"Yes."

   "Have you ever seen anyone suspicious?"

  The black aunt thought for a while, "No."

   Luke kept staring at each other, feeling like he was lying, and interjected, "Ma'am, did you see a Porsche 911 that night?"

"No."

   lie.

  Luke said, "Ma'am, are you familiar with Billie Warwick's boyfriend?"

"unfamiliar."

   This time, there is no sign of lying. According to Aunt Jiang, she is not familiar with Billie Warwick and her boyfriend, so why deliberately conceal it.

   According to the relevant procedures of the investigation, the police will also visit the surrounding neighbors.

  The black aunt can lie to him and Daisy, just as likely to lie to the police.

  What is the purpose of doing this?
