Director Louis said to go.

Without the slightest mud and water.

After he said this sentence to Lu Ke and Penning in a deep voice, he directly waved his hand and took his secretary Rebecca to the top floor.

The helicopter on the top floor is ready.

Director Louis would fly directly to the airport by helicopter, and from there, take his own private jet to Washington, D.C.

He asked that Francis Underwood to find a place to have a cup of coffee tomorrow.

Soon.

The helicopter took off, taking Director Louis and his secretary Rebecca with him, and left the roof of the Federal Building.

Luke and Penning stood in the doorway of the roof, watching the helicopters flying away.

Penning looked at the plane that was gradually getting smaller in sight, withdrew his gaze, and then looked at Luke, and couldn't help but joke.

"If it weren't for the wrong color of your skin, I doubt you'd be the illegitimate child of Director Louis too."

"Also?"

Luke caught the key word in this sentence and looked at Penning.

This is the gossip of the leader.

"Tell me more!"

"That can't be said."

Director Louis hurriedly waved his hand and looked at Luke: "The guy who talked about it in detail last time has been directly assigned by Director Louis to Guantanamo to see the seagulls." ”

Lu Ke nodded thoughtfully, followed Pan Ning, turned away from the roof, and walked towards the elevator.

"What are you thinking?"

"Promotion!"

Lu Ke came back to his senses, looked at Director Pan Ning, who asked him, and joked: "You said, if I sue Director Louis, then will you go to Guantanamo with him to see the seagulls like that guy, so that the position of Director of Los Angeles, you say, will I have a chance to take over?" ”

Director Pan Ning listened to this sentence and nodded with laughter: "Indeed, last time, the person who did this also thought the same way, do you know what happened to him in the end?" ”

Luke reached out and pressed the elevator, looking at Penning curiously.

"How?"

"He's dead!"

"Suicide?"

"The kind that gets eight shots in the back."

Director Pan Ning said with a serious expression: "That guy, he died miserably. ”

"Shhh

Luke gasped, followed Pan Ning into the elevator, and then looked at Pan Ning with a serious face: "Good death, so, the villain who stabs his partner in the back is the most hateful, what do you think, Director Pan Ning." ”

Penning smiled: "I feel the same way. ”

Lu Ke smiled slightly and stretched out his hand towards Director Penning.

"It's a good thing, I'm not the kind of villain who likes to stab people in the back."

"Me too."

Penning shook hands with Luke and said the same.

Bite!

The elevator opens the door.

The two stepped out of the elevator and returned to the director's office.

After Penning invited Lu Ke to sit down, he directly divided the half bottle of whiskey that had just been left in half.

"That's right."

Pan Ning picked up his wine glass and looked at Luke: "When I was in the hospital just now, I didn't have time to ask how your sister is doing." ”

Luke clinked his glasses: "The most dangerous situation has been out, but, the doctor said, whether she can wake up or not depends on her will, and even if she wakes up, the doctor said, the sequelae of the concussion may also make her forget some things or some people." ”

Hearing this, Pan Ning clinked glasses with Luke: "It's good that people are okay, and I believe that your sister's will to survive will definitely not lose to you." ”

After clinking glasses, Luke took a sip of the wine in his glass and said with a smile, "I think so too." ”

How strong is Polaris' willpower.

That's the existence of being able to use your X ability in the case of a limiter.

This.

Lorna Dane is much stronger than his dad Magneto.

Luke thought to himself.

That's when it happened.

Penning's phone rang.

"ATF's phone?"

Penning looked at the caller ID, made a wait gesture to Luke, answered the phone directly, and said loudly: "Good evening, ...... Houghton"

It was none other than Horton, the director of the Los Angeles ATF, who called.

After a while.

Penning pressed the pause button and looked at Luke, who was sitting on the side, "You asked Earl to drive all the ATF people out of the scene?" ”

Lu Ke nodded directly: "Yes, this case, to anyone, I don't feel at ease." ”

Penning nodded thoughtfully, got up, grabbed the phone, and walked towards the floor-to-ceiling window on the side, resuming the conversation with ATF Director Horton.

Half ringing.

Director Penning hung up the phone, sat down on the couch again, and looked at Luke: "When I was the head of operations in Miremi, this Horton was also in Miremy, we have worked together on several cases, and he is a good person, let Earl let him go." ”

Luke didn't speak, took out his phone from his arms and dialed Earle, who had already arrived at the scene.

"Team Leader."

"Are the ATF guys still on site?"

"Yes."

"Let them do what they have to do."

“…… Be. ”

"Come back too, ATF is your own."

"Okay."

Luke then hung up.

Director Penning raised the wine glass in his hand: "When it comes to the explosion, the ATF test report is the most authoritative, when he was in Miremy, the report of the three cases was all helped by Horton, of course, we also helped him a lot." ”

It's obvious.

Director Pan Ning is saying that solidarity and friendship and mutual help are the main themes of their FBI and ATF.

The ATF will give the FBI the explosion test report it wants.

To be exact.

ATF will provide a one-stop customized service, guaranteeing that the results will be consistent with what the FBI wants.

Because this is L.A.

The law enforcement agencies in Los Angeles have always helped their own people, and they have not yet helped foreigners to bully their own people's precedents and traditions.

Luke understood in seconds, and simply gave up the idea of going to the scene to customize evidence.

Very simple.

The internal affairs agent of the Ministry of Justice was in the hospital, and he did not control him at the first time, but was killed by him, and the initiative of this case has been transferred to him.

Although this bombing in the Mill community was not the work of the president's staff in Washington.

Luke had no evidence at hand.

But reasonable doubt is enough.

After all, the struggle in Washington has never been based on evidence, and if the evidence is useful, there are a group of congressmen in Washington who are afraid that they will all be dismounted.

The important thing is that this time, this presidential aide has offended too many people.

Or rather, he was too simplistic.

He may know that Luke's girlfriend's name is Rachel, but he probably doesn't know that Rachel has an alumnus named Claire Underwood, and her husband happens to be the House Whip Francis Underwood who was crippled by him during last year's election.

This thing didn't seem to have imagined at all that he had engaged in this conspiracy and secretly asked the internal affairs agents of the Ministry of Justice to come here, and if he failed to catch Luke, or what he would face after the conspiracy was discovered.

He's going to face the wrath of an FBI, the California commissioner!

Lao Tzu's territory, you don't even ask, directly cross state law enforcement, from my territory, arrest Lao Tzu's people?

Are you so crazy?

This is the real reason why Director Louis is so angry.

It's not about the truth.

It's all about the dough!

You must know that before this, even if Director Louis knew that the deputy director who came airborne in a few days was specifically rushing to Lu Ke, he only urged Lu Ke to quickly put his tail away, and never thought of helping Lu Ke harden Washington.

Because it's played within the rules of the game.

You airborne deputy director come here, even if it's for Lu Ke, it's fine.

Because nominally, even if Ruke really loses and is caught, that's what happened in California.

But this thing directly repaired the plank road, secretly Chen Cang, pulled out the internal affairs agent of the Ministry of Justice, and ran to Los Angeles to play law enforcement in a different place.

Hehe.

If they take Luke away, forget it.

Although such an off-site law enforcement behavior will also annoy Director Louis, he will definitely not continue to shield Luke, but will give up Luke cleanly, and follow the wishes of Washington to put all the responsibility on Luke's head.

It's a pity that several of the housekeeping agents who came here died.

That's another story.

The most important point.

Luke gave Director Louis a perfect, and plausible, excuse to even forge a friendship with House Whip Francis Underwood.

That's enough.

As for the rest, what evidence, what truth.

None of this matters.

He had even seen the news of the death of the White House aide who was trying to avenge his nephew or son, tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

The guy sent the Department of Justice's Internal Affairs Division to Los Angeles to look for him.

Luke returned the favor.

Director Louis, who rushed to Washington overnight tonight, went to greet him specifically.

Ding!

Luke's glass, and Director Penning's, collided in the air.

The next second.

The two of them drank the whiskey in their glasses.

Luke put down his glass, got up, and looked at Penning: "It's nothing, I'll go back to the hospital first, Rachel is in the hospital to help watch my sister." ”

Too much to lie about.

I don't know why.

Luke felt that when he said that Lorna Dane was his sister, he became more and more pleasing to the mouth.

And it's basically over.

That Lorma Dis probably won't survive, but I don't know if this guy will drown in the bath at home, or commit suicide in the garage of his home.

Pan Ning looked at Lu Ke, who offered to say goodbye, and nodded: "Hmm." ”

Luke turned and walked towards the door.

"That's right."

Penning suddenly thought of something and looked at Luke: "By the way, Luke, Brian O'Connor, you know this person." ”

Luke turned to look at Penning.

"Of course, he's my friend, what's wrong."

"He's been in Miremi lately, and he's been in the limelight."
