MTL - Los Angeles Detective-Chapter 436 Return (Ask for a monthly ticket!)

  Chapter 436 Return (Ask for a monthly pass!)

  The next morning.

  After saying goodbye to his father, Luke took his luggage and took the airport bus to New York International Airport.

   Picking up the ticket, checking the suitcase, going through the security check, and waiting for the plane, it took until eleven o'clock in the morning before Luke boarded the plane.

  This time Luke's seat was by the window, and next to him sat a blond, freckled, plump Caucasian girl, who looked young, with big eyes that were lively, like a lively and cheerful personality.

  Luke is very satisfied with the configuration of this trip.

   You can see the scenery by the window, and there is a young girl sitting next to you, so you don't have to do anything, just want to have a good mood.

  Luke looked at the white girl sitting next to him, "Are you going to Los Angeles too?"

  The white girl joked with a smile, "No, I'm going to discuss with the stewardess to see if I can get off the plane halfway?"

  Luke also laughed, "I mean, is your destination Los Angeles? Or do you reverse the flight in Los Angeles and go somewhere else?"

   "I just want to go to Los Angeles. My name is Sally, a New York girl who has been yearning for Los Angeles since she was ten years old."

   “My name is Luke, I also grew up in New York and now live in Los Angeles.”

   "You also moved to Los Angeles because you liked it?"

   "Are we moving to Los Angeles exactly because my mom likes it?"

   "Haha..." the white girl Sally laughed, "Then you should know about the situation in Los Angeles, right?"

   "It's okay, what are you going to do in Los Angeles?"

   "I just graduated from college, and I have always yearned for the city of Los Angeles, so I plan to come here to develop and try my luck."

"you alone?"

   "Single women aren't welcome in Los Angeles?"

   "That's not what I meant. It's not easy for a person to develop in other cities. I admire your courage."

   "Actually, I have hesitated for a long time, and I do have some concerns, but I want to make a breakthrough while I am young. If I don't do it now, should I do it when I am old?"

   "You are right, I wish you an early realization of your dreams."

   "Thank you, can you tell me about the situation in Los Angeles? For example, looking for a job and renting a house."

  Luke has also rented a house before, and he is quite familiar with this aspect. He told Sally about the rent situation in several areas he knew.

   "Dingling..." While chatting, Luke's cell phone rang.

  The number displayed on the screen is the number of Alec Lauer. He is the first informant Luke developed, helped Luke deal with some things, and is also the one Luke trusts more among the three informants.

   Luke frowned slightly. Usually, he took the initiative to call Alek when he had something to do, and the other party rarely contacted him.

  Luke pressed the answer button, his voice was low, "I'm Luke."

   "Boss, I'm Alek, I'm in some trouble right now, and I want to ask you for help."

   "What trouble?"

   “I got caught by…LAPD and need some bail.”

"How much do you need?"

   "Three thousand dollars."

   The money is not much, but Luke is more curious about why this guy was arrested by the police, "What happened?"

   "I...needed money, and went to buy zero dollars to make ends meet, but was ripped off... I took items over $950.

   In short, it is quite unlucky, but it is not a big deal. I am now arrested by the police for theft. I want you to release me on bail. "

  Luke touched his nose, a little speechless, who the **** is this.

  But after thinking about it, I'm relieved. If Alec Lauer had done well, he wouldn't have stolen his own vinyl records back then, and he wouldn't have been caught and forced to become his informant.

   It can only be said that the country is easy to change and the nature is hard to change.

  Luke confirmed, "Is there really only these and nothing else?"

   "Yes, only this thing."

   "If you dare to lie to me, you know the consequences."

   "I definitely won't."

   "I'm going to get someone to bail you out. Be careful and get out of trouble."

   "Okay, boss." Alec Lauer's voice became much lighter, "I was arrested by the patrol police from the Southern Branch."

"Wait, then."

  Luke hung up the phone, glanced at the white girl next to her, and saw that she turned her head aside, as if avoiding her gaze.

  Luke didn't care, and dialed his uncle Val's mobile phone number, "Hi, uncle, it's me."

   After a while, there was a response from the other end of the phone, "I know, I will pick you up."

   Listening to this voice, it seems that he has not woken up yet.

   "Uncle, I still have something to ask for your help."

"What's up?"

  “A friend of mine committed a crime and was arrested by the patrol police in the Southern Precinct, and needs someone to go to bail.

  I transfer you three thousand dollars, and you release him on bail. "

  Val yawned, "What did you say? I didn't hear clearly."

   "Bail needs three thousand dollars, I will transfer you three thousand one hundred dollars, and the rest is your hard work."

  Waldau, "I have something to do this morning..."

  Luke asked the price again, "Three thousand and two hundred dollars."

   "Okay, whoever made you my nephew, I will help you if I don't. I will postpone other things."

   Luke didn't bother to say anything more, "After bailing him out, bring him to see me."

   "Okay boss, don't forget to transfer the money."

   "Two nasty guys." Luke hung up the phone and transferred 3,200 dollars to his uncle. The original good mood was ruined.

  Luke put away his phone, and the white girl next to him had already put on headphones to listen to music, as if not to disturb strangers.

  Luke smiled. This girl is very vigilant, and her looks and figure are also good. However, Daisy, who has a better temperament and appearance, is in front of her. Luke doesn't have much thought and is too lazy to explain.

  He watched the scenery outside the window for a while, and then began to close his eyes and rest.

At the same time, I also started to think about the issue of the informant. This is a double-edged sword. The informant can help Luke deal with some inconvenient things, but these informants themselves have various problems. They just go out to mess around. , will inevitably cause some troubles, and at this time, Luke needs to help them deal with it.

   It is not realistic to ask the informant to change his ways. If they could, they would not be informants anymore.

  Furthermore, some informants need to go to the black market to inquire about information. If they don’t go out to hang out, how can they inquire about information?

   Could it be that Luke still expects a nine-to-five office worker to find out the news he wants? unrealistic.

  Luke now has three informants, two in Los Angeles and one in New York, which is relatively easy to manage. He will have more and more informants in the future, and needs a more complete management method.

  The flight was very smooth, except for some bumps during takeoff and landing, it went smoothly.

   The white girl sitting next door basically didn't talk to Luke anymore. Before leaving, she lowered her head and got out of the car with her luggage, as if she was afraid that Luke would ask for her contact information.

   Well, I guess this girl thinks of herself as a bad person.

  The bad guys are just the bad guys, that is, they chat casually on the plane, there is a huge crowd, and they may not be able to see each other again in the future.

It takes six hours to fly from New York to Los Angeles, but there is a time difference of three hours, so only three hours have passed, and it is now more than two o'clock in the afternoon. Luke is taking the airport bus back to the city, near the Eno community get off.

   "Didi..." There was a car horn next to it.

  Luke turned his head and looked, and there was a black Volvo car parked on the side of the road. It was a second-hand car that he and his uncle bought together.

  The door of the cab opened, and Val stepped out of the car, "Hi, my dear nephew, long time no see."

   "Uncle, help me open the trunk of the car."

   "Why did you bring so much luggage, is it a gift for us?" Val helped carry a suitcase.

  Luke "…"

  Why do these words sound so familiar?

  Luke opened the car door and glanced at the back seat, "Where's Alec Lauer, didn't you ask you to bring him? Didn't get bail?"

  Val got into the car and put down the handbrake, "Bail was successful. But I threw him halfway."

  Luke closed the door of the passenger cab, "Did you have a conflict?"

  Val asked back, "Do you know why that **** was arrested?"

  Luke twitched his nose, "It seems to be theft. I was on the plane at the time, and there were too many people beside me, so I didn't ask carefully."

  Val was a little angry, "That **** went to the supermarket to buy for zero yuan, because the goods he took exceeded 950 dollars, and they called the police and arrested him.

   What is even more speechless is that when he talked about this incident, he still looked aggrieved, as if he was the victim.

  You know, I hate this kind of person the most. "

  Val was still a little puzzled, and snorted, "I even regret releasing him on bail, people like him should stay in prison.

  Why do you have this kind of friend? He used to be a policeman too? "

   "NO, he is my informant."

  Val pouted, "Can't you find a better informant?"

   Luke asked back, "Will a good person be an informant?"

   "I don't like this guy anyway." Val started the car and drove towards the Eno community.

  In order to welcome Luke, Linda invited everyone to have dinner together.

  As soon as the car drove into the Yinuo community, Val saw a fat and familiar figure in front of him. He parked the car on the side of the road, rolled down the window, "Hey, boy, come up quickly."

  The little fat man took a look and said pleasantly, "Brother, you are finally back. I thought you were going to stay in New York for Christmas."

  Luke shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Can you exaggerate more? I stayed over there to deal with things, not to play."

  The little fat man sat in the back row, threw his schoolbag aside, looked left and right, "brother, what gift did you bring me back?"

  Luke is a little helpless, are they all so straightforward?

   Don't need a few pleasantries?

  He waved his fist, "I brought two fists the size of sandbags, which one do you choose?"

  The little fat man curled his lips and muttered something in a low voice.

  The car soon arrived at Linda's door.

  The little fat man got out of the car and shouted, "Mom, your dear eldest son is back."

  Linda heard the movement, walked out of the house with an apron still around her waist, and smiled, "Luke, welcome home.

  You have been away for longer than expected this time. "

   "Nice to meet you, dear mom, I came back this time to bring you a present." Luke opened the trunk of the car and pulled out a large suitcase from it.

  The little fat man also came over, "Brother, don't tell me, you only bought gifts for mom. You promised me before."

  Luke handed him the suitcase, "Take it in first and then we'll talk."

  When the little fat man heard something interesting, he dragged the box into the house in a panic.

  Luke left the Mercedes-Benz at Linda's house before going to New York. After dinner, he could drive home directly.

   Arriving in the house, Luke opened the box and distributed gifts to everyone.

   It’s not surprising that many people are gifted. This sentence is very practical. No matter how close the relationship is, the feeling of bringing a gift is different from not bringing a gift. Who doesn’t like some little surprises?

  Before Luke came back from New York, he specially selected a few small gifts. Luke's grandfather Robert also had them. I'll give them to him later.

  Little Fatty’s gift is Nintendo’s new game console, which was purchased by Luke and his father.

  When the little fat man saw the game console, his fat faces were piled together, his eyes were narrowed, he picked up the game console and began to study.

  Linda received a box of bird's nest as a gift. She was obviously taken aback. She had seen this thing before, but she hadn't eaten it for a long time.

  Uncle’s gift is two bottles of whiskey, the packaging, year, and brand are all good.

  At five o'clock in the afternoon, Robert also arrived, and Luke gave him a box of cigars, which was very suitable for a leisurely old smoker like him. He could smoke a cigar for an hour, and Luke didn't have that kind of leisure time.

  Everyone received presents and the house was filled with joy.

   At six o'clock in the evening, the family finished prayers hand in hand and began to eat dinner.

  Luke ate Chinese food in New York for a while, and then looked at the table full of Western food, but he felt a little uncomfortable.

To be honest, although Linda cooks every day, her cooking skills are really mediocre. Not to mention her uncle Li Zhaonian, a professional chef, she is also inferior to her father. Of course, it is not ruled out that Luke prefers Chinese food reason.

   At the dinner table, Robert asked about this trip to New York, "Luke, why did you stay in New York for so long this time? Is there anything going on with your father?"

   There were all close relatives present, and Luke did not hide it, "I did encounter some troubles.

  My uncle opened a Chinese restaurant in Chinatown, New York, and people from the local gang often went to eat Bawang.

  Those gangsters smashed up the restaurant and threatened the safety of my uncle's family, so I stayed there for a while to settle the matter. "

  Robert listened seriously, put down his knife and fork and asked, "How did you solve it? LAPD's hands can't be stretched that long."

   "I have some connections in Fobole, so I asked a friend to help me get a consultant status in Fobole's New York office, and I used Fobole's identity to resolve the gang issue.

But help is mutual. Foboler’s New York office also encountered a difficult case. A gambling king who was wanted by the governments of Southeast Asian countries fled to New York. He committed many murders. Foboler hoped that I could help solve the case , Capture the Southeast Asian gambling king as soon as possible.

  So I wasted some time. "

  Wal said, "The king of gambling in Southeast Asia? It sounds bluffing. Is he very powerful?"

   "He opened online gambling in Southeast Asia, and his illegal income is more than one billion US dollars. It is said that many Americans also gamble online, and the scope of influence is very large."

   "Wow, more than a billion dollars, that's really powerful." Val showed an envious look, and asked, "How is he now?"

   "It's pretty good. I live in a house provided by the government for free. I don't have to worry about food and clothing. Detective Fobler is his bodyguard."

  Val rolled his eyes, "You've become humorous."

  Luke smiled and changed the topic, "My dad may come to Los Angeles in two days."

   Linda froze for a moment, raised her glass and took a sip of red wine, "What is he doing in Los Angeles?"

   "I'm going to buy a house in Los Angeles, and I need his help to deal with some tax issues."

  Robert also showed a curious look, "If you buy a house, it's a big deal, where are you going to buy it?"

   "Palisades Community."

"are you sure?

  That is a well-known high-end villa area, the surrounding environment is great, the facilities are complete, and the average price of the property exceeds tens of millions of dollars, which is not something ordinary people can afford. "

   "I have that idea, but I can't confirm it yet." Luke has only seen the villa on the information, and has not visited it on the spot. There is no need to explain too much now.

  Robert said solemnly, "Luke, you are still young. I am also renting a house at your age. Don't put too much pressure on yourself."

"I know."

   "Your father is a steady person, ask him for his opinion."

"I will."

   "However, you have such an idea at your age, which is considered courageous.

   Let's drink to your courage. "

  …

  Dinner was over, it was past seven o'clock, and Luke was going home.

  Linda helped her son carry the luggage to the car, and stood beside her with her arms folded, looking hesitant to speak.

  Luke glanced at Linda, "Mom, what's the matter?"

  Linda came back to her senses, waved her hand, "NO, nothing?"

   "Mom, don't lie to a cop.

  Since I said Dad was coming to Los Angeles, you've been a little distracted. "

   "It's really nothing, it's just that we haven't seen each other for too long. It feels strange to meet suddenly." Linda was a little emotional, "How is he now? How is he doing?"

   "It's not bad, I changed to a new house."

   "Does he have a girlfriend?"

"no."

   "No, or didn't tell you."

  Luke smiled, "There are people in this world who can fool me, but you and my dad are definitely not included."

  Linda also smiled, and closed the car door, "You're drinking, drive slowly on the road."

  Luke nodded and looked at Linda, "Mom, I love you, no matter what decision you make, I will support you."

   "Me too. You are my pride, my son."

  Luke bid farewell to his mother and left the Eno community in a Mercedes-Benz.

   Instead of driving home, Luke goes to Daisy's house.

   This is also the last stop for tonight.

  The main purpose of him coming to Daisy was to discuss with her about buying a house. The reason why he told the other party was not because of the relationship between the two, but because Luke needed a lawyer.

  A lawyer you can trust.

  Americans from birth to death, as long as it is a major decision, cannot do without the participation of a lawyer, and the same is true for buying a house.

  When Luke arrived at Daisy's house, Daisy just got off work. She was wearing a black professional dress and red high-heeled shoes. She was beautiful, mature, and capable, making Luke temporarily forget his purpose of coming.

   Xiao Biesheng was newly married, and the two had an in-depth communication for more than two hours before the hormones in Luke's body returned to normal.

  Luke lay on the bed, looked at the lazy beauty beside him, and said, "Daisy, I'm going to buy a house in Los Angeles, and I want you to be my lawyer."

  Daisy was a little surprised, she didn't expect Luke to buy a house so soon, "What happened? Why did you want to buy a house just after returning from New York?"

  Since she is her own lawyer, it is impossible to hide the source of the house from her, so she briefly talked about Zhou Tiancheng.

  Daisy was a little envious, "I've heard about that community, one of my clients lives there, and it is said that the environment is very good.

  Captain Luke, you are well developed. "

  Luke put his arms around Daisy's smooth waist, "When the house is repaired, I will invite you to watch the moon in the bedroom on the first night of your stay."

  Daisy smiled, "It's better to wait until you buy it before inviting."

   "Assuming you agree."

   It's the end of the month, and the monthly pass will expire soon.

   Ask for a monthly pass, ask for a monthly pass!
