Los Angeles Detective

Four Seasons Hotel.

CEO's office.

Heinz Butch is in his fifties this year, and his hair is a little gray at the sideburns. He has booked a hotel room for a long time and is in the hotel almost 24 hours a day.

When he was about to wash up and take a break, he received a call from the hotel manager, Aly Pierce.

He originally wanted to tell Yali Pierce that some financial compensation could be made in order to keep the guests stable.

However, according to the report by Ali Pierce, the matter was out of control, the police had already intervened in the case, and the best time to deal with it was missed.

He asked Ali Pierce for the first time, and learned that the male customer was the management of the real power department of the police force, and had the ability to influence the investigation of the case.

The other party even proposed to martial law the hotel and search every room, which made Heinz Butch feel very difficult.

Once the police implement this measure, it will have a very bad impact on the entire hotel.

First of all, it will directly affect other customers staying in the hotel, and it is likely to be complained and claimed by other customers.

The indirect impact is even greater. Once the incident gets out, it will affect the reputation of the hotel. Some guests may not book the Four Seasons Hotel again because they are worried about being secretly photographed.

The Four Seasons Hotel is a large hotel chain, and he is only the person in charge of the hotel, with the president of the group on top. Once this incident becomes serious, he will definitely be punished.

Heinz Butch has worked in the hotel for many years and has rich experience, but he didn't get confused. After learning what happened, he immediately invited the two guests who were secretly photographed to the president's office.

"Boom..."

There was a knock on the door outside.

"Please come in."

Ali Pierce opened the door and led a man and a woman into the office.

"President, this is Captain Li and his friend from the Robbery and Murder Division."

Heinz Butch glanced at Luke, a little surprised, he didn't expect Luke to be so young.

To sit in the management of the real power department of the police force at such a young age must either have outstanding ability or have a good father. Of course, it is very likely that he has both.

Heinz Butch also knew some middle and high-level police officers, but he didn't want to use these connections unless it was absolutely necessary.

Human favors, once used, have to pay the corresponding price.

Secondly, he doesn't know the factions and relationships in the police force. If he asks the wrong person, he will cause trouble if he fails to get the job done.

Therefore, he decided to explore Luke's background first.

"Captain Li, ma'am, please sit down." Heinz Butch smiled professionally.

Luke was also looking at each other, "What's your name?"

"For a formal introduction, I am Heinz Butch, the hotel's president.

I have already heard from manager Pierce that although the camera was not installed in our hotel, the incident happened in the hotel after all.

We also have certain responsibilities, and we are sorry for bringing you a bad living experience.

On behalf of the hotel, I would like to express my sincere apologies to both of you. "

Luke didn't respond.

Daisy said on the side, "President Butch, Manager Pierce has said a lot about apologizing verbally, but every time he has not come up with a substantive solution.

It's been almost an hour since we found out about the camera, my time is precious and I don't want to waste any more. "

"Ma'am, what's your name?"

"Daisy Miller."

"Ms. Miller, our hotel resolves this matter with full sincerity and is willing to make some appropriate compensation.

If you have any ideas and requirements, you can directly mention them. "

Daisy said unhurriedly, "Before that, I would like to hear about your hotel's previous cases of customer compensation for sneak shooting incidents."

"It's the first time this has happened to our hotel, it's never happened before."

"But as far as I know, there was a secret filming incident at the Four Seasons Hotel in New York.

The victims, a young couple, were secretly filmed by a micro-camera after they checked into a hotel room, and the video was also posted on the Internet.

The girl chose to commit suicide because she couldn't stand the blow, and your hotel compensated the victim's family with two million dollars.

President Butch, what do you think of this precedent? "

"Uh... I don't know much about the situation of the Four Seasons Hotel in New York. Although we belong to a group, we don't actually have any intersection. I don't think the accident at their hotel is of much reference."

"You are right, it seems that I have found the wrong person, I should talk to the president of your group.

Let's stop here for today's talk, I don't think there is any need to talk about it. Daisy stood up, making a gesture to leave.

"Miss Miller, please stay.

I don't mean that, I really don't know much about this case, after all, New York is too far away, and I haven't been there for many years.

As you said, if a similar case happened at the Four Seasons Hotel in New York, we can also study it.

Please give me one more chance to talk. "Heinz Butch didn't expect that the other party would make such a move. Isn't this fucking brought into the ditch?

Daisy glanced at her watch, then sat back on the sofa, "You still have five minutes."

Heinz Butch was a little depressed and underestimated this woman.

Previously, from the description of Ali Pierce, Captain Li was the key person who could influence the investigation of the case, and he didn't even know the name of the female companion beside him.

Heinz Butch also focused on Luke at the beginning, thinking that Luke was the one who made the decision, and the reason why he let this woman talk was just to cherish his feathers.

Now it seems that I was wrong, this sharp-tongued woman is not an ordinary person.

"Ms. Miller, what is your business?"

"I'm a lawyer."

Heinz Butch "…"

He glared at the hotel manager, Yali Pierce, wishing he could slap him a few times.

You play tricks with lawyers! Really TM is a talent!

What a shame to be a hotel manager.

Ali Pierce had a bitter face, and he wanted to cry.

What is this called?

An unreasonable bastard lapd.

A reasonable jerk lawyer.

How did I encounter it?

Why am I so unlucky?

Heinz Butch said coldly, "Pierce, you go out first."

"Okay, President." Ali Pierce nodded to the three of them, and then left the office.

The moment he closed the door, he suddenly felt a chill.

broken.

Seeing that things are going up, someone must take care of it.

I won't be pushed out to top the bag.

...

Heinz Butch stood up, poured two cups of coffee for Luke and Daisy himself, and also used this time to think about countermeasures.

These two people are also of status, and they don't look like people who are short of money.

The purpose of their talk was to ask for compensation, but it wasn't just to win a sigh of relief.

As long as you straighten out their qi, you can get twice the result with half the effort when talking about it.

After working in hotel management for so many years, he can still understand the psychology of customers.

"Captain Li, Ms. Miller, I'm really sorry.

After this kind of thing happened, our hotel failed to deal with it properly at the first time, which caused a lot of trouble for the two of you.

It was my negligence and improper employment. Our hotel will definitely deal with the relevant personnel seriously and give the two of you an explanation. "

After Heinz Butch expressed his attitude, he further said, "Our hotel is willing to make appropriate compensation. Ms. Miller, you are a lawyer. What do you think the compensation amount is more appropriate for?"

Daisy said, "As I said before, the Four Seasons Hotel in New York already has a compensation case, why don't we learn from it."

Although Heinz Butch could accept the compensation, he didn't want to be taken advantage of, and he didn't want to pay the amount of two million dollars. He analyzed, "Ms. Miller, according to your previous description.

The female victim should have been caught in an indecent video, because the indecent video was posted on the Internet and couldn’t bear the blow, so she committed suicide. I think the situation of the two is different from hers.

First of all, this incident did not cause any personal injury to the two, and the two did not take a break, so they should not have been photographed in a private video, and have not been uploaded to the Internet for the time being, so there is still a big gap in compensation. "

Daisy said, "You're right, the female victim at the Four Seasons Hotel in New York is dead, and we're still alive, that's the biggest difference between the two cases.

But the Four Seasons Hotel in New York has also been greatly affected by the incident.

The purpose of our negotiation this time is to stop the loss in time. As long as the negotiation is settled tonight, we can sign a liability waiver agreement, and the hotel has nothing to do with anything that happens between the two of us afterwards. "

Heinz Butch thought about it for a while, and felt that Daisy's proposal was good. He really wanted to end the matter in time, so as not to cause a bigger disturbance. If it really got to the point of the Four Seasons Hotel in New York, he, the president, would have done his job.

"How much compensation do you think is appropriate?"

"$400,000 each in compensation."

"Nonono, the price is too high, the two of you have not been substantially harmed."

Daisy asked, "President Butch, what kind of physical harm are you referring to? Physical or mental?

First of all, the camera must have captured the two of us, which has violated our portrait rights.

Everything we say and do is private.

Second, the potential for sneakers to post videos online has had an impact on us.

I am a lawyer.

If my client sees the video online, do you think he will still trust me?

Do you have any idea how big of a potential loss this could be?

The effects are likely to be lifelong.

He is a policeman.

What would the citizens think of him if they saw his video? Will you still trust him?

And, we have family members, we have colleagues, and those are potential harms.

Think in another way, if the video of you and your lover is put on the Internet, how much impact will it have on your family and career. "

Heinz Butch was questioned, and if that was the case, he might be finished.

But he was unwilling to ask him to pay high compensation.

Luke yawned, got up and said, "President Butch, if you haven't figured it out yet, why don't we talk about it another day.

It's getting late, I'm going back to bed. "

"Wait, please don't leave in a hurry. I will give you an explanation tonight." Heinz Butch didn't dare to let Luke leave. He was worried that Luke would affect the investigation of the case, which was why he was eager to negotiate. s reason.

Only by getting rid of the uncertain factor of Luke, can this matter be calmed down as soon as possible.

But when negotiating with Daisy, he was a little powerless and lacked confidence, "Wait a minute, I will contact the hotel lawyer.

I believe there will be a satisfactory result for the two of you tonight. "

Heinz Butch had notified his lawyers before.

Not long after, the lawyer rushed to the president's office, and the two sides began to negotiate on compensation.

After some bargaining, a compensation agreement was finally signed with a compensation of 200,000 US dollars per person.

Heinz Butch was more than satisfied with the result.

Compared with the 2 million compensation paid by the Four Seasons Hotel in New York, it is already much less. What is more important is that he took precautions and settled the uncertain factor of Luke.

Luke and Daisy were also quite satisfied. The two of them did encounter a sneak shot, but they just walked past the camera at that time. It is estimated that they didn't even take a clear picture of their faces. Even if it was uploaded online, it would have no effect.

Both parties feel that they have made a profit, and everyone is happy.

The hotel is not liveable.

It was past one o'clock in the morning when they returned to Luke's house. Both of them were a little tired, so they went to rest directly after washing.

...

The next morning, ten o'clock.

Luke made a pot of tea, sat in the yard and watched Daisy drive away.

Because he didn't rest until early in the morning, Luke didn't wake up until after eight o'clock in the morning, and saw the half-covered and graceful body next to him.

Luke was distracted and made up a morning cannon.

I feel better.

After Daisy went to work, Luke was also a little bored.

He was still on vacation today, and he didn't want to spend his time at home bored, so he simply drove a Harley to the beach to bask in the sun.

When we arrived at the beach, we saw blue sea and blue sky, stepped on the soft sand, and seagulls skipped the sky from time to time.

Luke walked to the deck chair, spread a towel, lay on it, and casually put an ice coke on the small table beside him. A gust of sea breeze blew by, and waves swelled in the distance, and someone was surfing on the sea.

Luke took a sip of the iced Coke and watched it with interest.

The surfer, who looked like a beginner, fell into the sea several times in a row, taking several gulps of salt water.

Surfing is an exciting and dangerous game, and it is also a good tool for picking up girls. Luke learned about it on the Internet. Surfing is very difficult. The water itself is flowing. It is difficult to rely on a board to find balance on the water.

Even if Luke likes it, he doesn't plan to study it for the time being.

Because this thing is too time-consuming, you have to have the energy to learn it.

Luke is usually very busy investigating cases, so he finally rested for two days. He wished he could lie down every day. You asked him to learn to surf again. He really didn't have the energy and leisure.

When it comes to learning, Luke thought of the various learning cards given by the system. At first glance, they are all skills that can be learned with time. It seems that they are not very useful, but they are actually very useful.

The key lies in the word time.

Everyone knows that you can learn and live forever, but the question is how many people can do it?

How many people have never read a book after leaving school, don't they want to learn? Don't they know the value of learning? Don't know that learning is good for the future?

of course I know.

Why not learn? Because you are not motivated?

of course not.

Mainly due to lack of energy and time.

Take the police industry as an example. The work is dangerous, intense, and stressful. After taking a vacation, you must relax. Otherwise, you will have psychological problems sooner or later. How can you have the energy to learn other skills?

The learning card just solves this problem, shortens the time for learning skills, increases the motivation of learning, and makes the impossible possible.

Luke was basking in the sun, blowing the sea breeze, drinking iced Coke, looking at the beauties in bikinis, and thinking of the two hundred thousand dollars in compensation he received last night, he was in a very happy mood.

Luke now has more than $400,000 in cash.

The money is yours when you spend it, Luke took out his phone and started browsing Amazon, ready to buy something to treat himself.

The watch is good, it can be used as jewelry, but also can show status.

He wanted to buy a Patek Philippe. After looking at it and researching it for a long time, he was reluctant to place an order when he bought it.

It's not that I don't have enough money, and it's not that I don't like it, it's just that I feel... flashy.

Spending tens of thousands of dollars to buy a watch always feels like paying an IQ tax, which is a bit silly.

Of course, it could also be that he has just made money and his temperament has not caught up, so wait.

Luke began to look at the massage chair again. After working so tired every day, it is more practical to lie comfortably on the massage chair at home.

Luke compared a few models and read the reviews, but in the end he didn't place an order.

This time it's not about the money.

It's just that you can't just see it, you have to experience it yourself.

He is optimistic about the style, and when he has time, he will go to the physical store to experience it for himself before deciding which brand and model to buy.

After playing with his mobile phone for a long time, Luke was about to stand up and move around.

Standing up, the field of view is better, and more beautiful women in bikinis can be seen.

"Hey..." Luke suddenly saw a familiar figure.

wrong.

is two.

Jenny and Jackson were lying on the beach not far away.

Jenny was in a dark gray one-piece swimsuit, not exactly beautiful, but in good shape.

Jackson sat up, talking and laughing with Jenny.

Luke felt a little unbelievable, complaining, how could the two of them be together? She's putting on sunscreen for him!

He hesitated, pretending not to see? Still pretending not to see.

When Luke was about to lie down again, Jackson turned his head inadvertently, and he was also stunned.

The four eyes are facing each other.

Afterwards, Jenny noticed Jackson's abnormality, and turned her head to look over.

After all, he is a policeman, so he still has some vigilance.

"Deputy Luke... Oh no, it should be Captain Luke." Jenny was very calm and waved enthusiastically.

Luke pretended to see it just now, and walked over with a smile, "Hey, you two actually sneaked out to play, why don't you ask me out?"

Jackson stood up, hesitating, "Uh...our...captain, are you here alone?"

"Yes."

"Why did you come alone?"

Luke smiled, and the subject changed abruptly, "I enjoy some alone time once in a while.

But why did you two come together? "

"Uh..." Jackson said bluntly again, "I often come to this beach, and Jenny also likes to bask in the sun...

So, here we go. "

Now that everyone has met, Luke doesn't want to pretend to be confused anymore, "So, it was Jenny you invited, and the two of you are dating?"

"No!"

"impossible."

Both Jenny and Jackson have denied it.

Luke spread his hands, "OK, I don't want to be a gossip either, just pretend I didn't ask.

See you soon. "

Luke turned and went back to his couch.

After a while, Jackson came over and sat on the recliner next to him, "Captain, congratulations, you will officially take office tomorrow."

"Thank you." Luke raised his glass.

"Uh...Actually, Jenny and I are not what you think."

"What kind?"

"I...we are roommates."

Luke was even more surprised, "Are you living together?"

"Nonono, they are roommates, not living together." Jackson waved his hand and explained, "I used to live a little far from the police station, and Jenny just wanted to find someone to share the rent, so...

We became roommates. "

Luke smiled, "That's a good reason."

"We're really just friends and colleagues."

"I'll keep it a secret." Luke showed an expression I understood.

"Secret?" Jackson frowned and said helplessly, "We are really just roommates."

"Don't worry, I'm not Captain Susan, as long as it doesn't affect my work!

Does not affect work! "Luke pouted, I believe you a ghost, there is no pure friendship between men and women.

You can't judge a person by his appearance, this kid can do it, he looks honest, but he actually attacked a female colleague.

It's so shameless.

Suddenly, Luke also wants to find a female roommate, but the first thing he thinks of is not Daisy, but beautiful detective Ortie.

Bah, smelly shameless.

Ask for a monthly pass, ask for a monthly pass!
