After eating.

Xiao Hei said goodbye to Luke and drove away.

Luke was sitting in the cab of the car, smoking and thinking about things.

Now that he has accepted Danny Carter's commission, the commission given by the other party is also very generous, so he naturally has to do his best.

It's definitely not possible to rely solely on Xiao Hei's line. Luke also needs to investigate from other aspects.

In addition, being a detective is different from being a police officer. If Luke was talking as a police officer now, he would definitely want to learn about the situation from the female victim, Billie Warwick.

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

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

Of course, this detective's investigation method will also have certain personal characteristics. After all, it is easy to change the situation but hard to change the nature.

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

This is not free, he will pay according to the standard.

In fact, it was convenient and cost-free for him to use the resources of the police station to investigate Billie Warwick, but after thinking about it carefully, he gave up this idea.

If you only occasionally investigate someone in the police system, there is no problem, just like Luke investigated Daisy's father before.

But Luke can no longer get bonuses directly from the detective system. He needs new ways to make money. With his current fame, working as a detective part-time will be very profitable. If he doesn't do it, he will waste his fame.

If you treat detective as a part-time job, you may often need to investigate some people's information in the future, and it is not appropriate to use police resources frequently.

Spend a little money and feel at ease.

The fee was a drop in the bucket compared to his commission.

After chatting with Orti, Luke contacted the informant Anleke Raul and asked him to conduct surveillance near Billie Warwick's house. Although it may not be fruitful, the necessary arrangements must be made.

Don't make stupid mistakes.

After arranging these tasks, Luke drove home and went to sleep.

Only by having a good sleep and rest can you ensure your normal work the next day.

The next morning.

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

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

Tea tastes better when you drink it casually. If you have something on your mind, you won’t be able to taste the same tea.

After drinking coffee, Luke was too lazy to cook and drove to a nearby Chinese restaurant for breakfast.

A bowl of beef noodles and two side dishes.

A large piece of beef, very thick and chewy.

The side dishes are beef tripe mixed with three shreds and red oil.

If we were to say which Chinese food in Los Angeles is the most authentic, it would definitely be this beef noodle dish. The amount of beef exceeds 95% of domestic noodle restaurants.

The noodles are also very chewy and are made by authentic ramen chefs from China who immigrated here.

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

"Jingle Bell……"

The cell phone rang.

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

Orti's voice came from the phone, "Where are you?"

"Eating breakfast at a noodle shop, missed me?" Luke smiled.

"Yes, I miss you. Do you have time today? Let's meet."

Luke thought for a while, "It's not possible during the day today, how about at night?"

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

"It's very efficient. It will be sent to my email shortly."

Orti asked, "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 privately investigating the Danny Carter X invasion case?"

"Wow...so that's what you're asking." Luke hesitated for a moment and explained, "Danny Carter is a friend of a friend of mine. He is in trouble. You should have seen the news.

My friend asked me to help and clear Danny Carter's name."

"Danny Carter is lucky to meet you."

Luke smiled and said, "Your tone sounds a bit 'jealous'?"

"I didn't." Orti hung up the phone directly.

Luke can probably guess a little bit about Orti's thoughts. Luke and Orti have known each other for a while. Luke also signed a consulting contract with Pinkerton Detective Agency, but Luke has been unwilling to officially accept the commission.

.

Some time ago, Orti forced Luke to accept a task.

Now a few days have passed, and Luke has left her alone to take over the mission, and even asked her to help investigate the relevant people. She must have some ideas in her mind.

This is considered a normal reaction. Why does the other party have no emotion at all, but Luke is worried.

As a woman, it's normal to be upset. If you calm down, it'll be fine. It's a minor problem.

Luke clicked on the email on his mobile phone and began to check Billie Warwick's information.

Name, Billie Warwick

Age, 20 years old

Occupation, restaurant waiter

Relatives, mother, live-in boyfriend.

race, african

License plate number, 3CVb328

Address, No. 209, Naplei Community

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

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

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

…

No. 209, Naples Community.

Luke drove to Billie Warwick's house.

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

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

There were a lot of cars parked in the community. Luke took a few glances and discovered that there was something wrong with these cars. Most of these cars were clustered near Billie Warwick's house, and there were people in the cars. They didn't open the windows or start the cars. It was very difficult.

Apparently he also came to 'monitor' Billie Warwick.

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

Most likely a news reporter.

Danny Carter is a rugby star with a certain influence. As long as this case is not over for a day, it will continue to be popular and people will like to hear about it. Naturally, the TV station will not let go of such good news material.

They couldn't find Danny Carter himself, so they began to pursue Billie Warwick's idea. If they could get exclusive news about Billie Warwick, they would also become popular.

Later, Luke met with Alec Raul and asked about the situation of the surveillance last night.

Alec Raul was feeling depressed, there was a strong smell of cigarette smoke in the car, and his upper and lower eyelids began to fight.

Luke brought him burgers and coffee, "After that, go home and take a nap."

Alec Raul quickly took a sip of coffee and grinned, "I haven't drank water for several hours."

"Next time, remember to buy two bottles of water in advance."

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

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

Alec Raul said with a serious face, "I tried...but I can't urinate."

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

"After receiving your call, I followed the address and found this place.

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

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

But the woman is still in the house and has never come out." After finishing speaking, Enlek Raul took a big bite of the burger.

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

"Yes, that's him."

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

"No."
