Chapter 387 Unexpected Phone Calls, Weird County Police
Fortunately, Steve's wound did not hurt the major blood vessels. After cleaning and suturing the wound, his life was finally saved.
After sending Jenny and Steve into the ward, watching Jenny sitting there in a daze, Luke just put down the big bag with various supplies, stuffed Jenny with some cash, and left with Annie.
The two returned to the motel, and it was already twelve o'clock in the night.
After closing the door, Annie suddenly said, "I still want to take a shower."
Luke hummed, not surprised.
Many people have been to the hospital and feel uncomfortable when they come back. They don’t dare to lie down on the bed without going through the process of washing hands and bathing.
Annie took off her coat and turned to look at him: "You don't wash?"
Luke was stunned for a moment, then chuckled lightly: "I am happy."
After a while, the sound of water rustling sounded.
In the middle of the night, Luke raised his hand and took the mobile phone in the pocket next to him, and was stunned when he looked at the number on it.
He got up and walked to the door, opened the door, and connected to the vibrating mobile phone: "Nick?"
Over there, a hoarse voice sounded: "Luka Barton just set off with several people in an emergency, and they also mentioned your name, you better be careful."
Before Luke answered, he hung up on the other end of the phone.
He frowned.
The call was from the bearded Nick from the county police, who inexplicably said something about Luca Barton.
Luke narrowed his eyes.
This is the site of the Los Angeles County Sheriff, where the hospital is located, and the County Sheriff provides policing services for it.
So, Luca Barton's second-level deputy law enforcement officer is here for... the case on the mountain?
However, Bearded Nick specifically called to inform him, obviously the attitude of the Patton Law Enforcer was not very friendly.
Thinking in my heart, Luke has returned to the house.
Looking at Annie who was sleeping, he thought for a while and put the clothes by the bed back on for her.
I was frightened today and exercised vigorously for a long time. Annie, who was very tired, just murmured a few words, and was coaxed twice by Luke, and let him put on a t-shirt and sweatpants.
Then, Luke dressed himself, packed his things, and closed the locked door to leave.
Instead of taking the stairs, he walked directly through the porch, jumped down the floor at the end, and went to the back garage to drive off the pickup.
The hotel owner here may not be very dedicated, or it may be the weather with strong wind, heavy rain and thunder and lightning that makes him unable to hear this little movement.
Luke drove the pickup like this and hid in several cars more than a hundred meters away.
More than an hour later, two county police cars pulled up to the motel.
Without turning on the police lights or sounding the siren, the two police cars stopped quickly, and then the six county police officers rushed out of the cars, exchanged a few words with the hotel owner who was waiting in front of the building, got the room card, and they quietly He quickly approached the room that Luke opened.
Then, the door to the room was opened, and several county police officers rushed in.
There was movement in the house from Luke's headset.
"What about people?"
"He's not in now,
Only that girl. "
"Where did he go?"
"who are you?"
"Where is Luke?"
"Ah, me, I don't know."
...
The county police forced a few questions, but they didn't get any news from Luke, and the conversation started to ask about the case of Steve's attack.
More than 20 minutes later, Luke ignited, started the car, and followed the county police car that had already driven to the mountains.
Annie is fine.
These county police are here for Luke.
Since Luke disappeared, their behavior would not dare to be so rampant.
However, if Luke was blocked in the house just now, what would happen to these guys is unknown.
After these guys entered the door, they didn't say anything about their identities. They didn't report to the county police until they started threatening Annie to explain his whereabouts.
Luke is not an obedient policeman either. He is well aware of the many irregularities in the county police's actions.
.
Coupled with the warning call from Nick with the beard, these abnormal situations revealed a message: Luca Barton and the others came over and probably wanted to kill Luke directly, rather than arrest him.
Luke remembered that yesterday, old G called him and said that someone had found his forensic staff and wanted to bribe them to destroy a certain forensic result.
It's a pity that the person didn't know that this report was a task sent by the old g. The forensic officer didn't accept the bribe and didn't say it, and he stabbed the matter to the old g.
Apparently, the Esworth family did send someone to Las Vegas.
Are the rich people now not only black, but also so impatient? He sneered in his heart.
If the bribe is not successful, I will ask the county police to chase him here to kill him. This revenge is much stronger than Luke!
With the county police car hanging in the distance, Luke was still thinking about their question just now.
How to interrogate the suspect and obtain the desired information, he is a professional.
There was something wrong with the process of interrogating Annie by the county police just now.
In the case of Steve being stabbed by a bear child, they did not care about the specific details, but were repeatedly questioning where it happened.
This is very wrong.
In this kind of case, the location cannot be said to be irrelevant, but that is only a sideline. This is a mountainous area in the wild, and there are no landmarks. It doesn't make much difference where the case occurs.
Why did the county police care about the location of the crime?
The county police car in front had already entered the No. 37 Middle School campsite, and not long after that, it rushed out of it and headed for the mountain.
Luke's doubts were even greater.
Are these guys really here to deal with themselves?
I didn't find Luke in the hotel just now, so I'll look for it at the No. 37 Middle School campsite, which is normal.
But what is the idea of running up the mountain in the middle of the night? Do you think Luke will flee to the mountain?
how can that be.
Luke is not a real fugitive, even if his brain circuit is a little more sane, it is possible to go back to Los Angeles directly.
But, going up the mountain in the middle of the night? Or in a thunderstorm with strong wind and heavy rain, is it because you are afraid that there will be no accident and you will die too slowly?
Luke frowned and thought for a moment before slowly following up.
More than half an hour later, Luke came to the Eden Lake campsite and found that the county police car did not enter here, but moved forward without stopping.
He continued to follow.
By this time, he had determined that the purpose of Luka Barton and the others was not necessarily himself, otherwise they would at least enter the campground to see.
Driving forward for another kilometer, he vaguely saw two county police cars parked in the distance.
After thinking for a while, Luke retreated the car into the woods by the roadside, and quickly changed into the equipment in the car.
Chasing the thin and fragmented smell of several county police officers in the air, he followed.
The action route of the county police showed that they came here with a clear destination.
After quietly following the county police for tens of meters, and walking out three or four hundred meters along a path that can only be walked, Luke saw a small villa in the woods.
From the actions of the county police, he knew that these guys had already pulled out their guns and touched the cottage.
