Chapter 243: "Old Acquaintances" Mentioned by Old Acquaintances (3 more)
If it were another police detective, Sheila probably wouldn't be able to say a word, and she was afraid that before the case was investigated, rumors would fly all over the sky.
Luke: "So, what do you mean?" ”
Elsa: "Find out why, and see why they're messing around in our precinct." It's better to catch a few who are too restless, just get the evidence and throw them in jail for a few months, so that they can be honest. ”
Luke nodded, indicating understanding: "Sheila is there...... Did you say hello to her? ”
"Well, I told her. Call me if you need any support. Elsa said to the two of them as she watched Selena get up and look like she was going out to work.
Luke nodded, "Of course, you've always been our back, chief." ”
Elsa: "...... Handle the case well and have less skin. ”
Luke was helpless, and put the paper bag he was carrying on the desk: "You are like this, so I am very unhappy to send this cake." We'll keep in touch with you when you're gone. ”
The two of them walked out of the office, and Elsa quickly put the paper bag in the bottom drawer of her desk.
Luke had brought cakes a few times before, but she hadn't been promoted to group leader, and she hadn't moved to this small office with a glass partition, so she could only eat one at a time, and the rest would be divided among the thick-skinned old irons.
Now, she is not stupid, she hides first, gets busy and eats one, and her stomach will be a lot more comfortable.
Again, this is what Selena mentioned when she accidentally chatted with her.
Elsa can only sigh in her heart again: someone is really better to a partner than to a wife, she partnered with him a few years earlier, and now this little stomach problem will not appear.
Honoring his boss, Luke didn't care.
Anyway, there is not much difference between baking thirty or fifty cakes at a time, and the amount of labor is not very different, ten to fifteen minutes to get started, and then it is done in one oven.
That amount of money is not as expensive as a quick meal, but for most lazy Americans, the cake is worth a lot.
Selena, a foodie, is full of praise, it's definitely not bad.
Of course, in order not to get tired of eating this thing in a few clicks, Luke found a lot of recipes on the Internet, and changed two new flavors every day, and it was only once a month, and it was difficult for her to get tired of it.
Driving out of the police station, Luke took the wheel and headed for Beverly Hills.
Now he is driving, because Selena is responsible for sorting out the information in the car and then reading it to him, which is equivalent to half a secretary, of course, he can't drive anymore.
Moreover, she is also responsible for contacting Sheila, this big singer does not make an appointment, it is easy to not see people, and people are very busy.
However, the two of them were able to meet Sheila today, probably because Luke had greeted Elsa in advance last night, and she had arranged a meeting time in advance.
Arriving at Sheila's villa, Luke wanted to get his police ID.
It must be a certificate, not a police badge as usual, and the big singer probably won't buy a small detective's order.
As a result, he brushed his face and went in.
In this regard, he said that he was quite surprised, even if the security guard at the door was the last time he saw it, it was the security head who accompanied Sheila and them to check the perimeter of the villa.
Obviously, the head of security still remembered his face.
When they arrived at the front of the building, Sheila actually greeted them at the door, which made Luke even more strange: was he so popular? Sheila doesn't know about becoming handsome!
After a few pleasantries, and after entering the house, not long after sitting down, Sheila couldn't help but ask, "That Bobby...... Nothing is wrong, right? ”
Luke raised an eyebrow: "He's harassing you again?" ”
Sheila hurriedly shook her head: "No." I just haven't heard from him all along, so I ......"
Luke chuckled.
That's a variant of that boot-throwing story.
She was harassed by someone many times, and one day suddenly this person disappeared, and there was no news, and she felt uneasy in her heart.
Sheila's big singer is certainly not Stockholm syndrome, she just wants to make sure if Bobby is still in Luke's control.
"I've found him something to do, and it's likely to be busy these months, so you don't have to worry." Luke said.
Sheila was relieved, and then felt that this was too obvious, and hurriedly greeted: "What do you want to drink?" Coffee or something else? Meryl, tell the two detectives about the drinks available. ”
Luke: "Is there any green tea?" Some have a cup, and if you don't have it, you can bottle soda. ”
Selena: "Milk tea, cappuccino, you can." ”
When Meryl heard this, she nodded respectfully and went to the kitchen to prepare.
Luke didn't delay any longer: "Lady Sheila......"
Sheila raised her hand: "Don't be so polite, you are Elsa's person, and you have helped me a lot, and that is also my friend, just call me Sheila." ”
Luke was silent for a moment and nodded: "Okay, Sheila, let's get down to business." What the hell is going on with the traffickers? Are you sure you don't know them, including the possibility of indirect contact? ”
Sheila shook her head decisively: "No, I ......"
She hesitated for a while, and finally lowered her voice: "I was before, well, you know how Bobby bothered me, I'll ...... it."
Luke nodded decisively to interrupt her, "I understand. So? ”
Sheila: "But I haven't really come into contact with these people, and I can't meet the D-36 guys. Oh, it was Elsa who told me a little bit about them, and I'm sure I didn't provoke them. ”
Luke and Selena on the side looked at each other, not believing them too much.
Man is a very strange creature.
Even if they don't have to, they often lie unconsciously.
Maybe just because you suddenly feel like you don't want to say something, or even just feel bored, you will distort the facts, and eventually even your own memory will change with it.
This is also why the police investigate the case, why the statute of limitations is emphasized.
Because the more time passes, the more unreliable the witness memory of important clues becomes.
Luke thought for a moment and asked, "So, do you have any suspicions?" I mean someone you know, or think might get you into trouble, including but not limited to acquaintances, neighbors, friends. ”
Sheila hesitated again, during which Meryl offered them green tea and cappuccinos, and they both took a few sips each, and when Meryl retreated into the kitchen, she whispered even more, "I suspect that the one not far away attracted them." ”
Luke: Is there really such a suspicion?
Sheila still kept her voice quiet, as if she was afraid that others would hear her in the house: "That house seems to be where the daughter of the president of the Tiger Fund lives." ”
Luke, Selena: ...... It can't be such a coincidence, right?
Luke, of course, had told Selena about Katie's death, including the little trouble caused by Ginny, the daughter of the president of the Tiger Fund.
This is a real-life case for Selena as teaching material.
