Los Angeles Detective

After thinking about it, Luke agreed to Daisy's invitation.

The two met at about seven o'clock on Sunday night.

...

Silver Tower Restaurant.

This is a famous French restaurant in Los Angeles.

In China, Luke has also eaten Western food, but they are all improved versions of Western food. This is the first time that he has authentic French food.

The restaurant is located on Rodeo Drive near Beverly Hills, which is a shopping center in Los Angeles. There are tall palm trees planted on both sides of the road and in the middle of the green belt. The buildings beside the road are usually only two stories high, three or four stories. There are few buildings.

Luke is used to seeing high-rise buildings in China, but he is a bit novel about these low-rise buildings. The environment here is very comfortable and comfortable, and the afterglow of the setting sun shines on his body, which makes him feel relaxed.

It's heaven and hell here and around Tony's house.

Los Angeles is not only one of the most prosperous cities in the world, but also one of the cities with the largest gap between rich and poor.

Luke arrived at the Silver Tower at 6:45.

The restaurant is located on the platform on the second floor. From here, you can enjoy the night view of Rodeo Drive. Luke can't afford the luxury here, so it's okay to enjoy it.

At 6:53, a beautiful woman with long brown hair walked to the second floor of the restaurant, wearing a long black dress and a khaki coat outside.

It was Daisy who was rescued by Luke on Thursday night.

"Officer Luke, I kept you waiting."

"It's not yet the appointed time, I'm the one who came early."

Daisy took off her khaki coat and put it on the seat next to her, showing her curvaceous figure and sitting opposite Luke, "Sorry, I should have come earlier, something happened to the company..."

"You have just been robbed, why don't you take a few more days off?"

"I would like to, but there are a lot of things I need to deal with, the customer is God."

"What's your job?"

"lawyer."

"Wow, there is money."

"The price is working more than 12 hours a day, plus the commuting time is about 14 hours a day. I may marry this profession in my life." Daisy sighed softly, and handed the menu on the table to Lu gram,

"Let's change the topic to something lighter, such as today's dinner."

Luke took the menu, flipped through it for a while, and ordered a few dishes that looked good, such as French white wine escargot, fried scallops with foie gras, red wine black pepper steak, seafood risotto, and asparagus bisque.

Although there are quite a few dishes, Luke can eat it all by himself, seeing that the dishes are not big.

Daisy added a few more dishes and a bottle of red wine, and then handed the menu to the waiter.

Luke made a rough calculation, and the meal would cost no less than six hundred dollars.

The waiter came over with a bottle of red wine, opened the lid in front of the two of them, and poured it into a decanter, "Ma'am, sir, do you need to sober up?"

Daisy pushed the wine glass, "Wake up while drinking."

The waiter poured half a glass of red wine for each of them, then bowed and left.

Daisy raised her glass, "Officer Luke, thank you for saving me. It may be a small thing to you, but to me... it's a terrible thing."

"I just did what I should do. Don't mention it after drinking this glass of wine, otherwise the atmosphere of this dinner will be very embarrassing." Luke picked up his glass and took a sip of red wine.

"You are right. I will keep this thank you in my heart. If you have legal issues in the future, you can contact me at any time."

"I will."

Daisy picked up the wine glass again, "In addition to the incident just now, I also want to express my gratitude for the tire incident. I thought you were trying to strike up a conversation that day... Your attitude was a bit impolite, I hope you don't mind."

"Actually... I also want to thank you for the tires."

Daisy asked puzzled, "Why?"

Luke laughed, "Because I really wanted to strike up a conversation with you that day. If it wasn't for your flat tire, I would have been embarrassed."

"Haha..." Daisy also laughed, "I accept your thanks on behalf of my tires."

The atmosphere at the table became more relaxed.

Luke had authentic French food for the first time and it was pretty good.

Luke's favorite is the red wine and black pepper steak. The meat is tender and juicy, with a great texture and taste.

The second is the seafood risotto, the whole shrimp and squid have a very rich taste.

Drinking red wine, eating delicious food, admiring the night view of Los Angeles, and feeling the relaxed and free atmosphere around is great.

Daisy drank a lot of red wine, her cheeks were slightly flushed, "Officer Luke, I have encountered some bad things again, I am not sure whether I should go to the police station to report the crime again, and I want to hear your advice."

"Just call me Luke."

"Uh... I went to the law firm this morning and found that the documents in the office had been turned over."

"Could it be your colleague who did it?"

"I asked, and no one ever came into my office."

"Have you lost something?"

"No, this is where I am puzzled. Although it has indeed been flipped, nothing is lost."

"Are there any valuables in the office?"

"There was a thousand dollars in spare cash and two pieces of jewelry, none of which was stolen."

"Does the lock show signs of being damaged?"

"No."

"Could it be that you misremembered the location of the file?"

"Impossible. I usually have a lot of files to deal with. They are arranged in order to make it easier to find them. But this time the order has been disrupted. Someone must have touched my files."

"Do you have any suspects?"

Daisy shook her head, "It is precisely because I have no suspects that I am hesitant to call the police. From a legal point of view, it is difficult to file a report in this case, and the police may even think that I was frightened by the robbery. Well, it's all just my imagination."

Luke had just heard these words, and subconsciously thought that Daisy was frightened by the robbery, which caused her nervousness, and she was like a snake.

But thinking about the two eating and chatting together, Daisy's mood is relatively stable, and she doesn't feel that she will have mental problems.

That said, someone may indeed have been in Daisy's office.

Assuming what Daisy said is true, isn't it a bit of a coincidence that her office was burglarized just two days after she was robbed on Thursday.

More importantly, the cash she left in the office was not lost, which shows that the thief is not interested in ordinary property, so what is the purpose of the other party?

business competition?

Luke guessed, "Daisy, is there such a possibility? Your colleagues or competitors know about your robbery and think that you will not come to the law firm for a short time, so they want to pry your clients and cases. "

Daisy thought for a while, and frowned slightly, "I have a good relationship with my colleagues, but... the competition in the law firm is fierce, and this situation cannot be ruled out."

"Is there surveillance in your office?"

"I'm not used to having cameras staring at my work, but there are in the hallway outside my office."

"Then check the surveillance to prove that someone has broken into your office illegally, so that the police can intervene in the investigation. Otherwise, it will be difficult for the police to open a case without property damage."

Daisy raised her glass, "I see, thank you again for your help."

Luke took a sip of his red wine, he had drunk quite a bit tonight.

In fact, as a lawyer, Daisy should know how to deal with this kind of thing, maybe all she needs is moral support.

Or just simply looking for someone to talk to.

From this perspective, the incident of being robbed still had a certain impact on her.
