Fortunately, Steve's wound did not hurt the major blood vessels, and after cleaning and stitching up the wound, his life was finally saved.

Sending Jenny and Steve into the hospital room, looking at 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.

When the two returned to the motel, it was already twelve o'clock in the night.

Closing the door, Anne suddenly said, "I want to take another shower." ”

Luke snorted, not surprised.

Many people have been to the hospital, and when they come back, they feel uncomfortable, and they don't dare to lie on the bed without going through the process of washing their hands and bathing.

Anne took off her coat and turned her head to look at him: "You don't wash?" ”

Luke was stunned for a moment, and then chuckled: "It's glad to be." ”

A moment later, the sound of dripping water sounded.

In the middle of the night, Luke raised his hand and took the mobile phone in the pocket next to him, looked at the number on it and was stunned.

Got up and walked to the door, opened the door, and he connected the vibrating phone: "Nick? ”

Over there, a hoarse voice rang out: "Luca Barton just set off urgently with several people, and they also mentioned your name, you better be careful." ”

Before Luke could answer, the other end of the phone hung up.

He frowned.

The call was from the bearded Nick in the county sheriff, but he inexplicably said a message from Luca Barton.

Luke narrowed his eyes.

This is the territory of the Los Angeles County Sheriff, and the county police provide police services here.

So, Luca Barton, the second-level deputy magistrate, is aiming for ...... The case on the hill?

However, Nick the Bearded called to inform him, and it was clear that Officer Patton was not very friendly.

Thinking in his heart, Luke had already returned to the house.

Looking at Anne in her sleep, he thought for a moment and put the clothes on the side of the bed back for her.

Today, frightened and exercising vigorously for a long time, Anne, who was particularly tired, just muttered a few words, was softly coaxed twice by Luke, and let him put on a T-shirt and sweatpants.

Then, Luke dressed himself, packed his things, closed the locked door and left.

Instead of taking the stairs, he walked straight through the porch, jumped down the stairs at the end, and drove the pickup truck to the garage in the back.

The innkeeper here may not be very dedicated, or maybe the windy rain and thunder and lightning weather make him unable to hear this small movement.

In this way, Luke drove the pickup truck and hid in several cars more than 100 meters away.

More than an hour later, two county police cars drove up to the front of 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 car, exchanged a few words with the innkeeper waiting in front of the building, got the room card, and they quietly but quickly approached the room opened by Luke.

Then, the door to the room was opened, and several county police officers rushed in.

Luke's headset was filled with movement in the room.

"What about people?"

"He's not here, it's just the girl."

"Where did he go?"

"Who are you?"

"Where's Luke?"

"Ah, I, I don't know."

……

The county police pressed a few questions, but did not get any news of Luke, and began to ask about the case of Steve's attack.

More than 20 minutes later, Luke lit a fire, started the car, and followed the county police car that had already driven towards the mountains.

Anne was fine.

The county police were coming for Luke.

Now that Luke is gone, their behavior does not dare to be so rampant.

It's unknown what these guys will do if Luke had been stuck in the house just now.

When the guys entered the door, they didn't say anything to identify themselves, and it wasn't until they began to threaten Anne to explain his whereabouts that he reported to the county sheriff.

Luke is not a good cop either, and he knows all the irregularities in the county police's operations.

Coupled with the warning call from the bearded Nick, one of the anomalies revealed a message: Luca Patton and the others came over and probably wanted to kill Luke directly, rather than arrest him.

Luke thought about yesterday, when Old G called him and said that someone had approached his forensic staff and wanted to buy them to destroy a certain forensic result.

It's a pity that the man didn't know that this report was a task sent by Lao G, and the forensic officer didn't accept the bribe and didn't say anything, and stabbed Lao G about it.

Obviously, the Ellsworth family really sent someone to Las Vegas.

Are the rich people now not only black, but also so anxious? He sneered in his heart.

If you can't buy him, you will find the county police to chase him down here and kill him, which is much more vindictive than Luke!

The county policeman's car was hanging in the distance, and Luke was still thinking about their questioning just now.

He is a professional in how to interrogate suspects and get the information he wants.

The process of interrogating Anne just now by these county police officers was a little wrong.

In the case of Steve's stabbing by the bear child, they didn't care about the specifics, but they repeatedly interrogated the location of the incident.

That's very wrong.

In this kind of case, the location cannot be said to be insignificant, but that is only a side matter. It's a wilderness in the mountains, and there are no landmarks, so it doesn't make much difference where the crime happens.

Why do the county police care about the location of the crime?

The car of the county police in front had already entered the campsite of No. 37 Middle School, and not long after, it rushed out of it and drove towards 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 came to the campsite of Thirty-Seven Middle School to look for it, 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 is this possible.

Luke is not a real fugitive, even if the brain circuits are a little stranger, it is possible to go back to Los Angeles directly.

But going up the hill in the middle of the night? Or on a thunderstorm day with strong wind and rain, is it because you are afraid that you will die too slowly without an accident?

Luke frowned and thought for a moment before slowly following.

More than half an hour later, Luke arrived at the Lake Eden campground and found that the county police car did not enter the place, but moved forward without stopping.

He continued to keep up.

By this time, he had determined that Luca Barton and they weren't necessarily here for themselves, otherwise they would have at least taken a look at the campsite.

After driving another kilometer forward, he vaguely saw two cars of the county police parked in the distance.

Luke thought for a moment, retreated into the woods on the side of the road, and quickly changed into his gear in the car.

Following the thin and fragmentary smell of several county police officers in the air, he followed.

The route of action of the county police shows that they came here with a clear purpose.

After quietly following the county police for dozens of meters, he walked out three or four hundred meters along a path that could only be walked, and Luke saw a small cottage in the woods.

From the actions of the county police, he knew that these guys had taken out their guns and touched the villa. 8)
