Chapter 434 Harvest(1/3)
Oak Bar.
Luke has been in New York for a while, and this is his first time in a New York bar.
New York is more crowded than Los Angeles, but it is also more lively and has a more colorful nightlife.
Luke and his party entered the bar. It was already crowded. The decoration of the bar was very special. The tables and chairs were all made of copper, which had a sense of age. The decorations on the walls were oak barrel pieces. The walls were surrounded by wine cabinets and rum.
Liquor, tequila, red wine, Armagnac, among which whiskey is the most stored.
There are six people in Luke's team. In addition to Michael, Amir, and Louise, there is also a black agent and a Mexican agent.
Six people sat around a semicircular sofa. Louise looked at Amir next to her, "Are you sure you can drink?"
"Of course, I think I'm already well. I'm strong enough to eat a sheep." Amir bent his right arm to show off his biceps, which was not obvious.
A young Caucasian waiter with a menu in his hand came over and asked, "Good evening, what would you like to drink?"
"Of course I'm here to drink whiskey. I'd like a Macallan, 12 years old, on the rocks."
"Bourbon, no ice."
"A glass of Chivas Regal, thank you."
…
After everyone ordered their drinks, Michael paid the bill and gave the waiter a ten-dollar tip.
Michael spread his hands and said, "Man, what do you think of this bar?"
Luke glanced around, "The decoration and atmosphere of the bar are good." Luke looked at the rows of wine cabinets, "Does this bar specialize in whiskey?"
"Yes, the owner of this bar is a whiskey lover. It is said that his original intention of opening the bar was to taste and collect all kinds of whiskey in the world. The whiskey here is said to be the bar with the most abundant inventory in New York."
Amir looked curious, "Consultant Li, how did you find Zhou Tiancheng?"
Luke explained, "Zhou Tiancheng found the plastic surgery clinic through a leader of Heshengtang. The headquarters of Heshengtang is in Chinatown. I am of Chinese descent. Isn't it normal to have some connections in Chinatown?"
Michael said, "Anyway, this incident is all thanks to you. If you hadn't found the plastic surgery clinic where Zhou Tiancheng was in time, this guy might have escaped."
The young white waiter came over with a black tray and placed several glasses of whiskey and a plate of cornflakes on the table.
Michael picked up the wine glass and suggested, "Guys, let's toast to Consultant Li."
Louise was the first to pick up the wine glass and said, "Here's to Consultant Li."
Several other people also raised their glasses and toasted Luke.
Luke also smiled and picked up his wine glass, "The arrest of Zhou Tiancheng is inseparable from everyone's efforts. I respect everyone."
"cheers!"
Luke took a sip of whiskey and tasted it in his mouth. The smell was very refreshing, with a scent of oak.
The name of the bar is reminiscent of the Oak Bar.
Michael looked at Luke, "How do you feel?"
“It tastes good, a little mellower than I expected.”
Amir introduced, "What you want is whiskey on the rocks. The specialty of this bar is that it does not add real ice cubes, but a frozen metal block, so that you can drink it with a cool and refreshing feeling while retaining the flavor."
The richness of the wine.”
Luke lowered his head and glanced at the wine glass. Sure enough, there were two pieces of silver metal of unknown material placed in the wine. "It's quite interesting. I'll try it later."
Amir asked curiously, "What are the bars in Los Angeles like? I've never been to one."
Luke said, "Actually, the bars are pretty much the same, they just incorporate some local characteristics. However, bars in Los Angeles close early and can usually only be open until two in the morning."
"Then New York wins. You can drink here until four in the morning. Those people who often see New York at four in the morning are actually a bunch of drunks, haha."
Luke asked, "You've really never been to Los Angeles?"
"Yes, although I have always wanted to go, I never had the time or opportunity."
Luke invited, "If you come to Los Angeles one day, remember to call me and I'll buy you a drink." Luke pointed to the others and said, "You guys too."
Amir asked, "Are you planning to go back to Los Angeles?"
In fact, he was not the only one who was curious about this question, everyone present wanted to know.
"Yes, I have already bought a ticket to go back to Los Angeles. There are still a lot of things waiting for me to deal with there. If I don't go back, I should be fired from the Los Angeles Police Department."
Michael asked, "Why don't you stay in the Verbolo, New York office? I believe Negan would be happy to keep you here as long as you ask."
Luke laughed at himself, "Because I still like to shout 'lapd!' when I'm in law enforcement."
"Ha ha."
Everyone laughed, which attracted side glances from the people around.
Louise asked, "Will you come back? We will miss you."
Luke glanced at Michael next to him and joked, "I will come back when Michael officially becomes the team leader."
Michael shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Hey, man, don't get involved with me.
But having said that, it’s been a pleasure working with you.”
"Me too, I will miss you." Luke picked up the wine glass, "Guys, let's have another drink."
"cheers"
Michael took a big sip, and the wine in the glass was almost at the bottom. "If we encounter a troublesome eucalyptus, can we consult you?"
Luke nodded, "Even if I leave New York, I will still be Foerbo's criminal investigation consultant. This will not change. You are welcome to harass me at any time."
Help is mutual, relationships are created through friendship, and it is inevitable that Luke will come into use of the Forbore relationship.
Louise asked, "When are you leaving? We will see you off."
"E on, don't make it seem like we are parting from life or death. It's not like I won't come back. You should seize the time to wrap things up better than anything else. I will come to see you this summer at the latest."
Amir rolled his eyes and speculated, "Are you married and have children?"
"No, but I have a younger brother who is still in school, and he has something in common with you."
"Let me guess, is he knowledgeable, capable of learning, or handsome."
Luke smiled and joked, "It's annoying."
"Haha..." Everyone burst into laughter.
Amir wasn't angry either. If Luke really hated his brother, he wouldn't have waited until summer vacation to come back.
Everyone finished the first round, and Luke treated him to the second round.
Just after paying the bill, a familiar voice sounded in my head, "Congratulations to the host for successfully detecting the 'Gambling King Series', and you will be rewarded with 120 points."
Luke was overjoyed. It seemed that not only would he be rewarded for detecting the Lapd case, but he would also be rewarded for detecting the case in Forborough. This was good news for him.
Luke began to check the cards used in this case.
Among them, Luke used 2 adventure cards, 1 footprint identification card, 1 bullet avoidance card, 1 precision card, and 1 detection card.
In this series, Luke used a total of 6 function cards.
Among them, there is only one bullet avoidance card left, and it must be replenished to save your life at this critical moment.
There are only two adventure cards left, so we need to replenish them.
There are only three precision cards left, and they need to be replenished.
The remaining cards do not need to be replenished for the time being.
This time, a new reward of 120 points was awarded for this case. The detective system still had 60 points left before, for a total of 180 points.
Redeem bullet avoidance card, 30 points.
Redeem Qiyu Card, 20 points.
Precision card redemption, 20 points.
Luke thought for a while and exchanged 2 bullet avoidance cards, 1 adventure card, and 1 precision card. The total cost was 100 points, and the system had 80 points left in case of emergencies.
The six cards Luke consumed this time added up to exactly 120 points, which was equivalent to not earning a single point. He expected that the negotiations between Negan and Zhou Tiancheng would bring some surprises.
After people have been together for a long time, it is easy for them to dislike each other.
When it was time to say goodbye, I remembered the kindness of the other person.
Knowing that Luke was leaving, several colleagues who had been together through life and death were a little reluctant to leave him, and they drank a lot of wine from Luke.
Luke returned home and took a long nap. When he woke up the next day, it was already around eight o'clock in the morning.
Li Zhaofeng had already gone to work, leaving breakfast for Luke in the restaurant, including fried dough sticks, salted eggs, pickles, and milk.
The salted eggs are pickled by myself, and the fried dough sticks are fried by Aunt Luke.
While Luke was eating, he received a call from Negan, asking him to go to the New York office of Forborough.
After eating, Luke simply packed up and set off.
He did not drive, but chose to travel by subway. The subway in New York is more developed than in Los Angeles. Taking the subway is convenient and fast, but cars are prone to traffic jams.
