Selena looked over, but found no one.

Luke pointed at any moment, "It's a bit of a coincidence that both of their cars are over there." ”

That being said, the two didn't pay much attention to it.

This high-rise building of more than 50 floors houses more than 100 companies.

Some people may not have met each other even if they have worked in this building for a few years.

The two groups of people are working in the same building, perhaps dozens of stories apart.

Waiting for the elevator to go up to the thirty-second floor, the two found a hall with a sign at the door that read: "Despair" - Monroe Peterson Painting Exhibition.

Luke nodded, "It should be here." ”

The two walked into the place that served as an exhibition hall, looking at the few spectators inside, and a series of quarrels that tried to suppress them, but raised them again and again.

Bypassing the display wall at the doorway, the two entered the hall and saw two pairs of men and women arguing on the corner against the floor-to-ceiling window.

Well, that's a bit ambiguous.

In fact, it was a young girl and a middle-aged couple arguing, and behind the girl stood a middle-aged man with long and unkempt hair, but he just raised his head and looked out the window, not saying a word, indifferent to the quarrel that was happening next to him.

Luke and the two glanced at each other, helplessly pulled out the police badge wallet and hung it in front of him, and walked over.

Or Luke spoke first: "Excuse me, which one called the police?" ”

The woman in the middle-aged couple immediately turned her head: "What are you doing at the police station?" Only now did I send someone to pass ......"

At this time, she finally saw Luke's face clearly, and the complaints that she wanted to pour out were suddenly interrupted.

Luke had a faint smile on his face.

This is actually a typical expression on his face when he works.

The smile is not too kind, but it is not detached either, with a polite and gentle, but not overly courteous attitude.

This smile was like a slightly warm and not hot boiled water, which made the anger of the middle-aged woman suddenly drop sharply.

The middle-aged man beside her controlled his emotions a little better, and said at this moment: "It's my wife who called the police." ”

Luke hummed, nodded and asked, "Is it Mrs. Aurora-Soderberg?" ”

The middle-aged man was slightly surprised in his heart, but still nodded: "Yes." ”

Luke followed the process and confirmed the identity of the informant before continuing to ask: "Excuse me, who is the scammer you said when you reported the crime?" ”

The middle-aged woman Aurora finally woke up from her momentary stunned moment, and almost without thinking, she raised her hand and pointed to the opposite side: "It's this man, arrest him quickly." ”

This is really rich! Luke was amused in his heart, but said, "Mrs. Soderbergh, unless this gentleman is wanted, we have no right to arrest him until the judge has issued an arrest warrant." ”

Aurora was choked again, and immediately changed her words: "He beat me, now you arrest him immediately and wait for the police station to interrogate him." ”

As soon as she said this, the girl opposite her immediately cried out: "Mom, what are you doing here?" ”

The middle-aged man next to Aurora also smiled wryly, pulled his wife's arm, and dragged her behind him: "I'm sorry, my wife is a little emotional, the two detectives don't have to care about her words." ”

Luke still had a smile on his face: "May I ask who you are?" ”

"Jeffrey Soderbergh." The middle-aged man said, pointing to the girl opposite: "This is my daughter, Lindsay Soderbergh." ”

Turning his finger slightly, he pointed to the middle-aged man behind the girl: "This is Monroe Peterson," supposedly, "a painter." ”

In his tone, the second half of the sentence was slightly accentuated, and there was no more obvious mockery in his expression.

Luke secretly praised in his heart: this man is at least not that stupid.

Rich people have a strong position against the police, of course.

But this is only a conclusion drawn from the overall probability.

In the actual process of handling the case, it is not uncommon for the rich second generation who drove millions of sports cars to be stopped by the small police and issued a ticket.

The proportion of people in the police force who are not accustomed to arrogance and wealth is no lower than that of ordinary people.

There are even some police officers who will issue a maximum ticket.

It's "Aren't you rich?" Let's make more contributions to society".

Now, Luke's performance after entering the door has made it extremely clear that Jeffrey is not here to be a rich man's thug – at least not on this occasion.

This is Jeffrey's idea.

In fact, even with Jeffrey's logic, he is poorer than Luke and is not qualified to let Luke be a "thug".

Jeffrey suppressed his mad wife and said, "We suspect that Mr. Monroe-Peterson has used improper means to gain our daughter's trust and make her pay a huge amount of money for the rental of the premises, so we want to go back to the police station with him to investigate." ”

He said it quite cleanly.

There is no straightforward command like Aurora, but the so-called "go back to the police station together".

When they get to the police station, they can play the role of donating millions every year, without having to go through the little detective in front of them, who is not easy to talk to.

Rather than communicating with the two low-level detectives here, Jeffrey wants to make a tacit deal with the upper echelons of the police department.

Compared with his wife Aurora, Jeffrey's anger at the man who deceived his daughter was even more fierce.

As long as he finds evidence, he will not hesitate to send it to prison.

What a bullshit painter, what a bullshit abstract expressionist, if you have the ability, go to prison and spend sunflowers.

Luke didn't stop him from asking for it.

If he insisted, he would have to do so.

If he doesn't do it, then he will change to another patrolman to do it.

Rich people will always find cops who are willing to be thugs.

He looked at the man behind the girl, "Mr. Monroe-Peterson, what is your opinion on the situation that Mr. Soderbergh said?" ”

Monroe finally turned his head sideways, looked at him, and suddenly laughed.

That smile seemed a little empty, like a self-deprecating smile into the air: "No." ”

Luke shook his head in his heart.

His psychic communication had already discovered that the painter's mental state was not normal.

It is said that the neuropathy is excessive, but it is not the same as the awake state of a normal person.

Monroe seems to be floating in the unknown world for most of his thoughts, and only a small part of it is still in reality.

Luke suspects that if he replaces the question with "Didn't you take your medicine", Monroe would say "no".

He could only nod: "Then please come back to the police station with us." ”

Lindsay, the girl who was standing in front of Monroe, was anxious: "Wait, his mental state has not been very good these days, how can he enter the police station?" What he needs more is rest, or going to the hospital. ”

O'Laura couldn't help but snort again: "I think he can go to a mental hospital, I can pay all the medical expenses, and let him be cured in it until he is cured." ”
