Chapter 992 Rich or Not, It's All About Money

Beckett took the cake and looked at him carefully for a moment before looking at him: "Are you kidding?"

Luke smiled: "I don't want to be a pastry chef, so I don't need to get clients now."

Beckett couldn't help but took another bite, savored it a little, and nodded: "The taste is really better than the few cake shops I've ever eaten. It's totally fine to open a cake shop with this craftsmanship."

After saying this, she asked, "Are you interested in our case?"

Luke nodded and shook his head: "It's mainly about Lindsay and Monroe. You should know how troublesome that family is, and I don't want to bring them back. I just promised the boss that they would stop for a week or two. of."

Beckett was stunned for a while, and replied, "That shouldn't matter. These two people just happened to have the same social relationship with our victims. The floor of their art exhibition is the scene where the victims' bodies were found in our case. It's just a matter of careful consideration and reasonable doubt."

Luke understood immediately.

When the police handle a case, the most important thing is that "coincidence is not a coincidence".

Many coincidences are often the key to solving cases.

There are so many coincidences between Lindsay and Monroe and their victims that they must be investigated.

Even if it is not the murderer, it is possible to find clues to the murderer.

Asked here, he also has little interest.

He has dealt with too many strange cases in the past year, and he has seen more strange things as a vigilante. He is really not interested in simple cases.

"Does the deceased have any money?" he asked casually.

Beckett: "...Her father is rich. She likes to do volunteer work, but she has no money."

He snorted: "Million? Ten million? Billion?"

Beckett: "Thousands of millions."

Luke nodded: "Then check the money, even if it's her father's money. In my experience, 80% of the troubles of rich people come from their money."

Beckett was stunned: "Are you sure?"

He laughed: "More than 90% of the cases of the poor are also because of money. From this perspective, it is always the easiest to solve."

Beckett couldn't help but grin.

Does this need to be said? The world is all for profit.

Live for money, die for money, and work hard for money all your life.

This is the life of most people.

After Luke finished talking, he flashed decisively.

He had completely lost interest in this case, and he didn't even want to take Beckett's life.

Javier, who was always watching the situation in the lounge, waved back quickly: "Quick, grab your coffee, they're done talking."

Ryan groaned: "Ah, my hand. What are you panicking about? It scared me."

As soon as Javier turned his head, he saw that the coffee in Ryan's hand was emitting heat.

The coffee was actually poured on the back of the hand, not in the cup.

He didn't care too much about Ryan's injury, but turned his head again: "please pour another drink. You say, is Luke interested in Beckett?"

"You have a brain!" Ryan wiped his coffee with a tissue. Fortunately, it was winter, and the coffee was not too hot, otherwise he would have to go to the doctor.

Javier is dissatisfied: "Why scold me?"

Ryan: "If you don't look at the one behind Luke, I think she can put us both in the hospital by herself. You have such a wife, how dare you mess around?"

Javier is suspicious: "You... why do you seem to feel deeply? And Selena is Luke's partner, not necessarily a girlfriend, let alone a wife."

Ryan sneered: "People like you who don't have a girlfriend don't understand at all. Selena...cough, forget it. You bring the coffee, and I'm going to make cold water."

Javier looked at Ryan who had slipped away and pouted in dissatisfaction: "You have a girlfriend, you have a fiancee, you are waiting to get married, you are amazing!"

Having said that, he picked up the coffee and delivered it to Beckett, since she had difficulty stretching the cake dry.

He is also more concerned about Luke's gossip.

Here, Selena finished sending out the other relatively familiar police detective cakes and walked back: "Enough?"

Luke: "Talking about the case they are working on should have nothing to do with the Soderbergh family."

Selena lost interest.

In the current case, there are really not many people who want her to shine.

Suddenly, her eyes lit up: "Hey, here's something interesting."

Luke looked sideways and saw that John and Ricky just came in with three people.

Ricky was originally Walter's partner, but now that Walter is on sick leave, he and John get together, and it can be regarded as a relief from the new detective who was originally John's partner.

The two detectives were nothing interesting, both middle-aged and elderly men.

But one of the three people they brought in was interesting.

Luke looked at this one with interest, and agreed: "It's really interesting, guess why she came in again this time?"

Selena didn't even bother to talk nonsense with him: "Hit someone."

Luke: "Twenty dollars, I blocked her and didn't hit anyone."

Selena was stunned: "Well, although I know I might lose again, it's only twenty dollars. Well, from the private money of the gold nugget."

Gold Nugget, who was eating small cakes to pass the time, looked up blankly: "Huh?"

Private money makes it very sensitive, but the twenty-dollar bill, which is almost a small denomination, still has a specific concept.

It doesn't understand, what's the point of Selena taking this scum from her private money?

Here, Luke has already greeted him.

A surprised woman turned a blind eye, and he asked John directly, "What's going on?"

John was less wary of him: "This couple sued this guy for trespassing and attempted murder, but they're not husband and wife, they can't show a lease, and they're not injured. Bring them back."

Having said that, his back turned to the three of them with an exaggerated expression of "annoying people".

Luke smiled and said, "Then you go to rest and let me, a newcomer, become more familiar with the case handling process."

When John and Ricky saw his "new and tender" look, they immediately understood, Ricky nodded solemnly: "Hey, I just didn't sleep well last night, and I didn't eat breakfast this morning, it seems like I have low blood sugar. Guilty."

Luke is considerate: "Go to the front desk, there is a small cake to eat."

The three people talked nonsense, and the case was handed over to Luke without any waves.

He turned his head again, with a serious face, and said to the three parties: "Okay, let's go to the interrogation room."

The pair of men and women among the three was a little cowardly: "Interrogation room? Detective, we are just ordinary disputes, so we shouldn't enter the interrogation room."

Luke suddenly laughed: "It's alright, just borrow it temporarily, mainly because it's relatively close, and there is an inquiry video, which can be done in one go."

Looking at his smiling face, the man and woman were even more uneasy, always feeling that something was wrong.

Especially the woman who is in a divorce lawsuit with her husband.

The matter of cooperating with her boyfriend to set up a private detective, once she gets to court, or even just leaves the official police record, she is likely to lose the divorce case completely.
