Los Angeles Detective

  Chapter 418 Who are you (please subscribe!)

   "Woooooooooooo..."

   A police car with NYPD on it is parked on the side of the street.

  Two Asian police officers got out of the car and shouted to the crowd, "Who called the police?"

   "It's me." A Chinese man in his thirties said.

  The Asian patrolman asked, "Did you see a dead body?"

   "Yes, it's over there." The Chinese man pointed to the trash can in the crowd.

   "NYPD, get out of the way." The Asian patrolman pushed away the crowd, went to the trash can to check, frowned slightly, and said on the walkie-talkie,

   "This is the 3C4 group. We rushed to the report site and found a male body. Call for backup, over."

  Another Asian patrolman waved his hand, beckoning everyone to back off, and took out the cordon from the car to protect the scene.

   Soon, several police cars rushed to the scene, trying to evacuate the surrounding crowd.

  Li Zhaonian was still standing not far away in a daze.

  Yao Xin was timid and didn't dare to move forward, she took her husband's arm and said, "Let's go, I know what you're worried about.

   I just heard that dead people have bad thoughts, and I was shocked too.

  When I saw the legs exposed outside the trash can, I knew it was not, so it was a false alarm. "

  Yao Xin dragged her husband back and found that her husband was still out of his wits, "Zhao Nian, what's wrong with you? Scared by the dead? If you don't have the guts, you still have to move forward."

   "Do you know who I saw?"

   "Who is it?"

   "Zhang Qilong."

  Yao Xin was also a little surprised, a figure of a bald man appeared in his mind, "Really, didn't he come to the store for free food two days ago?"

   "It can't be wrong, it's him." Li Zhaonian's tone was firm.

   "Have you offended someone?

  He is from Heshengtang. It seems that Chinatown is going to be in chaos, and business is even more difficult. "Yao Xin looked a little complicated.

  After hearing what his wife said, Li Zhaonian breathed a sigh of relief, yes, Zhang Qilong is a member of a gang, it is common to fight fiercely with others, and there are a lot of offended people.

   Worry about it.

  Thinking of this, Li Zhaonian's steps became a little brisk.

  He walked to the door of the store, saw someone sitting in the store, and was about to greet him, but found out that it was his family.

  Li Zhaofeng looked at the couple who came back together, "Where did this go? I don't even care about the store."

   "There's a dead person over there, let's go over and have a look." Yao Xin responded and said hello, "Sit down first, I'll get some tea."

  The little fat man showed a curious look, "Second Uncle, we also heard someone yelling to kill someone just now.

  I want to go and see, but my dad and brother won't let me.

  What the hell, male or female? "

  Li Zhaofeng said, "Why do you ask this, a child? I'm not afraid that I won't be able to sleep at night."

  Luke said, "I won't sleep with you at night."

  Li Zhaonian "..."

  This 'child' probably weighs more than himself.

  Li Zhaofeng changed the subject, "Is there any news from Will?"

   "No, the two of us are also worried." Li Zhaonian finally spoke softly.

  Although it was a false alarm, he was still scared.

  It's silly to think about it, how can parents beat their children.

  Li Zhaofeng suggested, "It's quite disturbing not to go home during the Chinese New Year.

  Have all the people who have a good relationship with Will ask? "

  Li Zhaonian said, "Will's friends and classmates all asked, and they all said they didn't see him."

  Yao Xin came out with a teapot in his hand, "I don't know where this kid is. I haven't heard from him for two days. Even if I lost my temper before, I couldn't even find him."

   Luke asked, "How did you get in touch with Will's friends and classmates?"

   Li Zhaonian said, "I called to ask."

   "Uncle, since you have a good relationship with Will, you must be helping Will to speak, and you can't believe everything they say."

  Yao Xin had a look of joy on his face, "That's right, we should come and ask."

   "Do you know where people live?" Li Zhaonian felt a headache, and his children were debts.

  Although Li Zhaonian and his wife asked Luke and his son to eat before leaving, Will couldn't find them.

  In the evening, after Luke took a shower, he made a video call to Ortie on the bed, but the other party turned it into a voice call, "Hey, beauty, why don't you turn on the video?"

   "I'm afraid I'll scare you." Orti's crisp voice sounded from the phone.

   "I was looking for something exciting."

  The video lights up, showing a white mask, but the delicate outline of the cheeks can still be seen, "Do you like it?"

   Luke smiled, "The camera is lower."

   "Is this enough to go down?" Orti pointed the camera at his feet, which were tender and delicate, with red nail polish.

   Luke praised, "I like this color, it suits you very well."

  Orti rolled his eyes, "Is there something wrong? I can't talk now, this mask is very expensive, I don't want to waste it."

   "I just wanted to tell you that I'm coming to New York.

  Do you want any gift?

   Go back and I'll bring it to you. "

   "Why did you go to New York suddenly?"

   "Accompany my dad for the Spring Festival."

   "Sounds good.

  I don't have anything to bring right now.

   But thank you for still thinking of me. "

   "OK, see you in Los Angeles."

  Orti shook the camera to his chest, a seductive gully flashed, and said playfully, "Good night."

  The video cut off, and Luke's smile faded.

  His audio and video, which seemed to be teasing, was actually intentionally revealing news about himself in New York.

Although this trip to New York was to visit relatives, it made Luke feel a little uneasy. He couldn't use too many lapd resources here, and Anthony didn't reply. Mobilizing too many FBI resources.

  At this time, Orti’s role is revealed. The Pinkerton Detective Agency’s business may not be spread all over the United States, but there must be detective offices in major cities, especially in New York, the largest city in the world.

  The New York Police Department must also have the relationship network of the Pinkerton Detective Agency, similar to that of Orti and himself. If there is a real need, it may be more practical than the FBI relationship.

   After all, Luke is a contract consultant with the Pinkerton Detective Agency and has a long-term cooperative relationship.

   This is also the reason why he contacted Orti. It is better to establish a good relationship in advance and let her know that she is in New York than to ask for help when something happens.

   Some women still like this.

  The next morning.

   After breakfast, Luke and his father sat in the living room drinking tea.

  The little fat man on the side made a video with Maggie again.

  He suddenly missed Los Angeles a little. At this time, Los Angeles is still very warm, and you can sit in the yard and drink tea. New York does not have this condition.

   "Dad, what shall we do today?" Luke didn't want to hear that the little fat man was getting bored, so he had to find something to do.

   Li Zhaofeng suggested, "How about I teach you how to play chess?"

   "Sounds pretty good." Luke can play chess, but he hasn't played it for many years. He still remembers the rules of chess, and it's unknown how much skill he has left.

   Anyway, it’s okay to be idle, just treat it as practice.

   "Jack, go get the chess pieces in the house."

   The little fat man was dissatisfied, "Why me?"

  Luke spread his hands, "Do you want to be beaten?"

   "Sure enough, you are still the 'good' brother." The little fat man said a certain word with a high pitch.

"Thank you for the compliment."

  The little fat man turned his head, muttered a few words in a low voice, reluctantly bid farewell to Maggie, and went upstairs to get chess.

   Subsequently, the father and son began to play chess.

  The rules of chess are very simple and easy to learn. The little fat man is young, has a good memory, and learns quickly.

  Luke knew it before, but he hasn’t played for a long time. After playing a few rounds, he feels like he’s coming.

  Happiness among men is very simple, as long as they can get together to study something, it is easy to become addicted.

   Before he knew it, it was noon. From a rookie, the little fat man had mastered the rules of chess proficiently, and he also made a few simple combos.

  Luke has improved faster, and he can keep in touch with Li Zhaofeng. He likes the open and close game very much.

"Jingle Bell…"

  Suddenly, the phone rang.

  Li Zhaofeng took out his mobile phone and pressed the answer button, "Zhaonian, what's the matter?

   Here, what's the matter?

  Don't worry, speak slowly.

  …

  Okay, let's go there. "

  Li Zhaofeng hung up the phone with a serious expression on his face.

   Luke asked, "What's wrong?"

   "The police went to your uncle's restaurant and said they wanted to find Will to find out about the situation."

   "Found Will?"

   "No, that's why I found your uncle's restaurant. Your uncle panicked and didn't know what to do?"

  Luke was puzzled, "Why did the police find Will?"

   "It seems to be related to the person who died in Chinatown yesterday.

  The dead man was the bald man who ate the bully meal in the restaurant, and the police seemed to know that he had a conflict with Will.

  Your uncle doesn't know what to do now.

  The policeman is right next to him, and what he said is not very clear.

   Said that I want you to go to help deal with it. "

  Luke put down the chess pieces, "Let's go."

  Although he doesn’t know the New York police, he is familiar with the way the police handle cases, knows how to respond to police inquiries, and can learn some information from police inquiries.

  Li Zhaofeng looked at his younger son beside him, "Jack, don't go, stay at home, I'll order you a pizza."

  Luke felt a little worried about being followed that night, brother, "Let's go together.

  He's grown up too.

  It's not a bad thing to touch some things. "

  Li Zhaofeng thought that the eldest son was worried that the younger son would imitate Will's rebellion, and wanted to give him a warning, so he nodded in agreement.

  …

  Ji Manxiang.

  A police car was parked at the entrance of the restaurant, and several neighbors outside looked into the store from time to time.

   Li Zhaonian and his wife sat at the dining table a little at a loss.

   There are also two Asian patrolmen in the store, a man and a woman.

  The male patrolman said in Chinese, "Mr. Li, don't be nervous, we're just looking for Will to get some information."

  Li Zhaonian said helplessly, "I've told you many times, but I really don't know where he is.

   What exactly did you ask him to find out? "

   "According to the clues we have obtained, he is likely to be related to the 1.22 Chinatown murder case."

  Li Zhaonian showed a worried look, "Impossible, you must have made a mistake.

  My son can't possibly have anything to do with the murder. "

  The male police officer asked, "We hope so too, that's why we asked him to understand the situation. Since he is innocent with the case, why didn't he take the initiative to explain the matter clearly?"

   Li Zhaonian sighed, "I really can't contact him."

  The male police officer and the female colleague looked at each other, "I heard that the deceased had a conflict with Will before he was alive. Is this true?"

  Li Zhaonian clenched his fists tightly, not knowing how to answer, he said no, he was lying.

   Said yes, and he was worried that he would harm his son...

   At this time, he was also in a state of agitation. He couldn't contact his son, but he waited until the police came to his door.

  He also wanted to know where Will had gone and why he hadn't shown up. Could it really be related to Zhang Qilong's death?

   No, absolutely not.

   Before he knew it, Li Zhaofeng's back was drenched with sweat.

  The male police officer coughed lightly, "Mr. Li, did you hear what I said? Do you need me to ask you again?"

  Li Zhaonian opened his mouth, but still didn't know how to answer. He is not a casual person, but it concerns his son...

   Disturbed.

   A Volvo pulls up in front of the restaurant.

  Luke, father and son, walked down from the hall.

  Luke entered the restaurant and looked at the two police officers in the room.

   Li Zhaonian heaved a sigh of relief, as if he had found a backbone, "Luke, you are here.

  These two police officers came to Will, saying they wanted to know about yesterday's homicide. "

  The male police officer looked at Luke, "Do you know where Will is?"

  Luke didn't answer, but asked instead, "Can I see your ID?"

   "Of course." The male police officer nodded and gestured to the female police officer beside him.

  The female police officer took out her ID and handed it to Luke, blinking her eyes, showing a thoughtful look, "You look familiar."

   "I know, Keanu Reeves, everyone says that." Luke smiled and returned the ID to the other party, "Why are you looking for Will?"

   "We are investigating the 1.22 Chinatown murder case. According to the clues we know, he may be related to this murder case?"

   Luke asked back, "Is there any evidence?"

  The male police officer asked, "Who are you? A lawyer?"

   "I'm Will's brother."

  The male police officer asked, "Do you know where Will is?"

   "Sir, what's your name?"

   "My surname is Liu, just call me Police Officer Liu."

   "Officer Liu, I respect NYPD and am willing to assist you in the investigation, but before that, I want to find out what happened?

  I think trust should be mutual, what do you think? "

"you're right.

  We made notes for some people involved in the case, and someone identified Will, saying that the deceased had a conflict with him during his lifetime.

   There's also some evidence against Will that I can't reveal too much...

  So, we need to find Will to check the situation, not arrest him.

   This is a necessary procedure. "

  Luke nodded, expressing his understanding, "Will had an argument with his father and ran away from home. We don't know where he is now."

  Officer Liu pointed at himself and Luke, "We both have Chinese descent and know the meaning of the Spring Festival. Why did he run away from home at this time?"

   Luke said, "For a 'big boy' who is in the rebellious period, running away from home is regardless of time and festivals."

  The big boy Luke is referring to is not biological age, but psychological age.

   "OK, even if you don't know where he is.

   Then I want to ask, is there any conflict between him and the deceased? "

  Luke knows that this cannot be concealed, and there is no need to conceal it. The more vague it is, the more suspicious it will be, "I don't know who the deceased is?"

  Officer Liu took out a photo, "Do you know him?"

   "Meet once, but don't know each other."

   "His name is Zhang Qilong, we found his body in a trash can in Chinatown yesterday.

   Did he and Will ever have a fight? "

"Yes.

   On the evening of January 20th, I came to the restaurant for dinner.

  I was chatting with Will when a table next to me was about to leave.

  Will went over and asked if he needed to pack.

  They said no need, got up and left.

  Will reminds them they forgot to check out.

  The deceased and his friend were unwilling to settle the bill, and had a few arguments.

   But no hands.

  The dead man and his companions departed. Luke spread his hands and said indifferently, "In my opinion, this is just a trivial matter, not a contradiction. "

  The female police officer said, "It's not a small conflict if you don't pay for meals.

  If it were me, I would definitely beat him up. "

   Luke said, "So you're a cop.

   And my uncle is just a small restaurant owner, and even opening a restaurant can't avoid this kind of thing. "

  Officer Liu asked, "If it's just a small matter.

  Why did Will run away from home? "

  Luke explained, "Will ran away not because of this, but because he didn't want to work in a restaurant, he was young and wanted to start his own business instead of serving plates in restaurants all day.

  And my uncle wanted him to stay and work in the restaurant and take over the restaurant, which is why they fought.

  To be honest, I don't want to serve the plate either. If it were me, I might have left long ago. "

  Officer Liu curled his lips. He couldn't tell that Luke had been separating Will for a long time. There was no conflict with the deceased, so there was no motive for the murder. "You should consider getting a lawyer's license."

  Luke laughed, "Will you invite me?"

"I will consider."

   "I'll give you a discount."

  Officer Liu handed Luke a business card, "Will come back and contact me, you know, this is a necessary procedure."

"I will."

  Officer Liu looked at Luke, then at Li Zhaonian and his wife, turned around and left with the female police officer.

  After getting into the car, the female police officer was still a little absent-minded.

  Officer Liu looked at his female partner, "What did you find?"

  The female police officer said firmly, "I should have seen him."

"where?"

   "I can't remember."

  Officer Liu shrugged, "Forget it.

  Although he can speak very well, we are looking for Will, so don't worry too much. "

   Sorry for the late update.

   Some Calvin today.

   It’s not that I don’t have ideas, but that I have too many ideas, and I always want to choose the best and most exciting plot.

   Detective novels are relatively logical.

   A foreshadowing may affect the ending.

   There are many things to consider.
