Luke and Selena's eyes widened: "Their family...... The city? ”

Elsa nodded slightly: "Back then, their ancestors dug a gold mine there, and then there was the city of Esworth. As a result, they became one of the upper families in California, which has been passed down to this day. ”

Selena gasped.

This kind of family that has lasted for more than 100 years, as long as it has not fallen, is not easy to mess with.

And judging from the social status of the father and son from Sheldon to Henry, it cannot be said that their family has declined in any way.

Luke: "So ......?" ”

Elsa: "So this case is not in a hurry, you can investigate other cases first!" There is no absolute certainty...... No, if it comes to Esworth's family, you must notify me first, and don't alarm them. ”

Luke looked at her for a moment, then suddenly laughed, "Okay, Elsa. ”

Elsa is not suppressing him, she knows better about the local power of these families, and knows what is in the other party's bottom line.

By saying this, she is taking a large part of the responsibility and danger away, which is not a smart approach.

However, this is indeed a boss that Luke admires.

You can't help your subordinates take the blame at a critical moment, and don't expect your subordinates to work hard at that critical moment.

After heading out, Luke went over to Sonya, "How's the Bearded Nick's gang doing?" We'll have to make an appointment with this guy later,"

Sonia looked away from the screen in front of her, raised her head, and lowered her voice: "This group is a bit of a problem. I checked their information in recent years, and there are no less than 30 complaints about their indiscriminate use of violence every year. ”

Luke: "That is, each of them has to take a complaint almost once a quarter?" ”

Sonia: "And that's just a complaint of abusive violence, and there are many more minor complaints, but everyone is not idle every week. But ......"

"But, they can fight." Selena said.

Sonia nodded helplessly: "These guys are basically either transferred by the special police, or they have been discharged from the army, but they don't want to go to the special police department, and now they are staying in the serious crime team of the county police department." They really have a set of methods for violent crimes, and sometimes even the special operations team of the county police can't do anything for them, so the county police department also turns a blind eye to some of their small actions. ”

Luke certainly understands.

If you can handle cases and fight, then you can't ask for other aspects to be equally good, such as excellent conduct and strict discipline.

There really is such a perfect person, why stay in the county police station! There must be a better place to go.

The lesser of two evils, the top brass of the Los Angeles County Police Department tolerated Nick's gang.

After all, there are not many police officers who have the ability to fight to the death with the professional robbers of yesterday.

Ordinary police officers have passed one or twenty, and they will definitely be taught to be human beings by that group of retired robbers from the Marine Corps.

Luke leaned against Sonya's table and muttered for a moment: "In other words, in fact, this Nick's status in the county police department is quite good?" Yesterday was a good day. ”

Sonia shrugged, "Yes." Their energy is not small, and they are relatively well-informed in all aspects. ”

Lukewaner: Black and white! It's not hard to understand that those guys don't look like serious cops. Well, for example, a decent and sunny young police detective like himself says that black and white are all taken and no one believes it.

He looked at the time, it was already eleven o'clock, and he called the bearded Nick.

After a few brief words, Luke got up: "Let's go, but only Alessandro and I can talk to you later." ”

Selena and Sonia looked puzzled, but didn't say anything, and went to the parking lot to drive off.

In the car, Selena asked, "What does Elsa mean?" She was a little strange about what Elsa had just said.

They haven't started the case of the girl in the pajamas who was hit and killed.

If there is trouble, you can not check, why remind them, but they did not say that they could not touch.

Luke pondered for a moment and sighed softly: "If you are powerful, of course you will have enemies. We may be a tool of temptation. ”

Selena sighed, she didn't expect to hear this kind of answer: "Then, let's continue to work with this case?" ”

Luke nodded: "It's our duty to handle the case, we still have to go." ”

But how it starts, and how it ends, is up to me. He's not going to be stupid enough to use someone as a gunman.

Elsa's performance just now is also hinting at his situation.

But the person who can deal with the Esworth family, obviously she can't afford to provoke, let alone say it explicitly, so she can only add an insurance and let Luke ask her opinion before he gets involved in some matters.

This is the essence of the old police detective!

Compared to Dustin and Elsa, his roots here are still too shallow, and he is not so sensitive to many things involving power struggles.

However, in a year or two at most, he should be able to spread his connections, and then no one can take advantage of his situation.

The two cars quickly drove to their destination, Selena looked at the sign, her eyes widened: "You didn't have enough last night?" Coming here early in the morning? ”

Luke: "This is where Nick chose, OK?" Moreover, I'm physically strong, what is one night? ”

Selena was speechless.

Someone is really not so hungry and thirsty to come to this kind of place early in the morning.

Every time he went to see Ginny or Ximena, he was refreshed.

Luke got out of the car and said, "You and Sonia are here, I will turn on the voice connection, and you also pay attention to the movements around you." ”

Selena hummed, climbed over, and took over the driver's seat.

Luke shouted to Alessandro, and the two of them reported Nick's name to the security guard at the door, and entered the club called South American Jungle.

Once inside, it was quiet in the field.

It's only past ten o'clock, and it's time for a break in such a place.

The security guard at the door shouted to the two and pointed to a corner.

The two of them walked in that direction, through a passageway, to what resembled a box.

"1024, this is it." Luke looked at the number on the door and knocked on it.

A moment later, the doorway clicked open.

Nick, dressed in jeans and a tank top, opened the door.

Luke could only reduce his sense of smell and try not to touch the bearded man in front of him.

But what left him speechless was that the smell inside was even worse.

To be on the safe side, he couldn't turn off his sensitive sense of smell, so he could only control it as much as possible.

Nick opened the door to the two of them and looked at Alessandro, "Your buddy? ”

Luke glanced at Alexandro beside him and nodded, "Yes." ”

Nick got out of the way: "Come in." ”

The two of them entered the room.

This is an ensuite, a living room of more than 30 square meters connected to four or five rooms.

The room is not particularly luxurious, but the grade is not low.

A few leftovers of wine and food on the table and everywhere speak volumes about the level of consumption here.
