Chapter Three Hundred and Fifty-Two Tools of Temptation, Informal Meeting Places

Luke and Selena widened their eyes: "The city of their family...?"

Elsa nodded slightly: "At that time, their ancestors dug a gold mine there, and then there was the city of Esworth. They also became one of the upper-class families in California, which has been passed down to this day."

Selena took a deep breath.

This kind of family that has lasted for more than a hundred years, as long as it has not fallen, it is not easy to mess with.

Judging from the social status of the father and son Sheldon to Henry, it cannot be said that their family has declined in any way.

Luke: "So...?"

Elsa: "So this case is not urgent, you can investigate other cases first! There is no absolute certainty... No, once the Esworth family is involved, you must notify me first, and don't disturb them."

Luke looked at her for a moment, then suddenly laughed: "Okay, Elsa."

Elsa is not suppressing him, she is more aware of the power of these families in the local area, and what is the bottom line of the other party.

By saying this, she is taking a large part of the responsibility and danger, which is not a smart move.

However, this is indeed the boss that Luke admires.

You can't help your subordinates at the critical moment, and don't expect your subordinates to work hard at that critical moment.

After going out, Luke went to find Sonia: "How is the intelligence investigation of the bearded Nick's group? We have to make an appointment with this boss later,"

Sonia looked away from the screen in front of her, raised her head, and lowered her voice: "This group of people has a problem. I checked their data in recent years, and there are no less than 30 complaints about their abuse of violence every year."

Luke hehe: "That is to say, each of them has to be complained almost once a quarter?"

Sonia: "This is just a complaint of abuse of violence, and other small complaints are counted. In fact, everyone is not idle every week. But..."

"But, they can fight," Selena said.

Sonia nodded helplessly: "These guys are basically either from the SWAT, or from the army, but they don't want to go to the SWAT department, and now they are staying in the county police department's serious crime team. They are really good at violent crimes. There is one set, sometimes even the special action team of the county police can’t handle the affairs, so the county police also turn a blind eye to some of their small actions.”

Of course Luke understood.

If you can handle cases and fight, you can no longer ask for the same excellence in other aspects, such as excellent conduct and strict discipline.

There is such a perfect person, why stay in the county police station! There must be a better place for people.

The lesser of two evils, and the top of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department tolerated Nick's group.

After all, there are not many county police stations who have the ability to fight with the professional robbers yesterday.

Ordinary police officers in the past ten or twenty will definitely be taught by those robbers who retired from the Marine Corps.

Luke leaned against Sonya's desk and pondered for a moment: "That is to say, in fact, this Nick's position in the county police station is not bad? Then yesterday was not in vain."

Sonia shrugged, "Yes.

Their energy is not small, and the information in all aspects is relatively well-informed. "

Luke smiled: Black and white take it all! It's not hard to understand, those guys don't look like serious cops. Well, for example, a decent and sunny young police detective like myself, no one believes black and white.

He looked at the time, it was eleven o'clock, and he called Bearded Nick.

After a few simple words, Luke got up: "Let's go, but I can only ask Alexandra and I to ask questions later."

Selena and Sonia looked puzzled, but they didn't say anything and went to the parking lot to drive.

In the car, Selena asked, "What does Elsa mean?" She was a little strange to Elsa's words just now.

They haven't even started the case of the girl in the pajamas being hit and killed.

If there is trouble, don't check it, why remind them, but they didn't say they can't touch it.

Luke pondered for a moment and sighed softly: "With power and power, of course there are enemies. Maybe we are a tool for temptation."

Selena snorted, not expecting to hear such an answer: "Then, shall we continue with this case?"

Luke nodded: "It's our duty to handle the case, we should go or go."

But how it starts, and even how it ends, is up to me. He wouldn't be foolish enough to be a gunner to someone.

Elsa's performance just now also hinted at his situation.

But she obviously can't afford anyone who can match the Esworth family, let alone say it clearly, she can only add insurance, and let Luke ask her opinion before involving certain matters.

This is the essence of the old detective!

Compared to Dustin and Elsa, his roots here are still too shallow, and he is less sensitive to many things involving power struggles.

However, in a year or two at most, he should be able to develop his personal connections, and then no one can take advantage of his situation.

The two cars quickly drove to their destination. Selena looked at the sign and widened her eyes: "You didn't have enough last night? Come here early in the morning?"

Luke: "This is the meeting place Nick chose, OK? Besides, I'm very strong, what is a night?"

Selena was speechless.

Someone is really not so thirsty, coming to this kind of place early in the morning.

Every time he went to see Ginny or Ximena, he was really refreshed.

Luke got out of the car and said, "You and Sonia are here, I will open the voice connection, and you should also pay attention to the movement around you."

Selena hummed, crawled over, and took over the driver's seat.

Luke called Alexandra, and the two reported Nick's name to the security guard at the door, and entered the club called South American Jungle.

After entering, the place was very quiet.

It's only after ten o'clock, which is the rest time of this place.

The security guard at the door shouted to the two of them and pointed to a corner next to them.

The two walked in that direction, passed through a passage, and arrived at a place similar to a box.

"1024, that's it." Luke looked at the number on the door and knocked on the door.

Moments later, the door clicked open.

Nick, wearing jeans and a vest, opened the door.

Luke could only reduce his keen sense of smell and try not to touch the bearded man in front of him.

But what made him speechless was that the smell inside was even worse.

For the sake of safety, he can't turn off his sensitive sense of smell, and can only control its sensitivity as much as possible.

Nick opened the door to meet the two of them and looked at Alexandra: "Your buddy?"

Luke glanced at Alessandro beside him and nodded, "Yes."

Nick stepped out of the way: "Come in."

The two entered the room.

This is a suite, a living room of more than 30 square meters connected to four or five rooms.

The room is not particularly luxurious, but the grade is not low.

Some wine and food remnants placed on the table and everywhere fully illustrate the first-class consumption level here.
