Los Angeles Detective

early morning.

Luke opened the bedroom window, and a burst of fresh, moist air rushed in, with a 'scent' of earth.

After a night of rain last night, Luke slept soundly in his new home.

Los Angeles is dominated by sunny days, and it rarely rains. It feels good to have a heavy rain occasionally.

I don't know if it's because of the rain, Luke is a little lazy, and today is a vacation, so he simply plans to stay at home, choose a good TV series, cook a few favorite dishes, have a few drinks, and have a beautiful afternoon Get some sleep.

Luke is a person who likes to enjoy, so he does what he thinks. He first went to the underground wine cellar to choose a good bottle of wine.

The wine cellar has 400 square feet, with constant temperature, and there are all kinds of drinks, such as white wine, red wine, whiskey, rum, etc. There are many kinds of drinks, but the stock is not large. The whole wine cellar seems empty, and there will be opportunities in the future Yes, Luke will also stock up on another batch of wine.

Especially liquor, as long as it is stored in a suitable environment, the more it is stored, the better it will taste.

"Jingle Bell……"

As soon as Luke picked up a bottle of blue and white porcelain, his cell phone rang.

He took out his mobile phone and saw Lilith Finn's number displayed on the screen.

Since the last time, she invited Luke to a party and was rejected by Luke, the two have not been in touch.

Luke thought for a while, then pressed the answer button, "Hello, this is Luke."

"I'm Lilith, are you busy recently?"

"I was really busy a few days ago, but I'm off today, what's the matter?"

Lilith said in a playful tone, "I can't find you if I have nothing to do?"

"Of course, I just moved to a new house and I want to invite you as a guest.

Do you have time at noon today?

Let's have a few good drinks. "

Lilith didn't know what to think of, she paused for a moment, "I quit drinking recently."

"This is not a good habit." Luke returned to the living room with a bottle of wine and asked, "Or are you deliberately refusing my invitation."

"No, I want to go.

However, I'm running into some trouble now and would like your help. "

"What's up?"

Lilith made a fool of herself, "It can be regarded as a different kind of treasure hunting, I wonder if you are interested?"

"Forget about treasure hunting, I have no similar plans recently."

"Hmph." Lilith snorted softly. She didn't expect Luke to refuse so simply. The last treasure hunt, you made money, and Miss Ben, you fell asleep. What's your dissatisfaction?

"Is there anything that dissatisfied you in the last treasure hunt?"

Luke smiled, "For the last treasure hunt, I was very satisfied and exciting, it was an unforgettable trip.

However, I am not short of money now.

Just want to enjoy my new mansion. "

Lilith said, "No one is short of money, including me."

"My personal expenses are not big, and I don't like any famous brand luxury goods. My current savings are enough for me to live a chic life for a few years.

So why not give yourself a little vacation? "

"Perhaps your idea is good, but... I need your help." Lilith said in a coquettish tone, "You will come, right?"

Luke didn't answer directly, "For things like favors, use them once less."

Lily smiled, "You're right.

But on the other hand, friendship can only be enhanced by meeting each other, isn't it? "

...

Baggs Club.

This is a private club located in Los Angeles. It covers a very large area. There are racetracks, golf courses, and concerts and auctions are held in the clubhouse. The members of the club are either rich or expensive.

Luke drove the newly bought Ford Raptor pickup truck to the outside of the club. After reporting his name, the doorman let him go.

After Luke entered the club, he drove the car to the parking lot along the signs.

A blonde beauty in a blue dress was already waiting there, with fair skin, a graceful figure, and an elegant temperament, like an elf walking out of an oil painting.

As soon as Luke got out of the car, Lilith greeted him and said with a smile, "Luke, you're finally here."

Luke looked around and asked, "Is this club yours?"

"I hope so.

It belongs to the Finn family, and I'm just managing it now.

There was trouble just after I took over the club. I guess there are many people waiting to see my jokes.

Luke, only you can help me now. Lilith flattered her, "It's great that you can come." "

Luke was not confused by her words, and asked lightly, "Tell me about the specific situation."

"Last night, the club held a small auction, and one of the auction items was stolen, and the value of the auction item was very high, and the auctioneer wanted to claim compensation from the club, which is also the first challenge I have faced since taking over the club.

I hope you can help recover that stolen auction item. "

Luke asked, "Have you called the police?"

"Yes, the police were called last night.

But until this morning police had no clue of the stolen auction item.

And the guests of the club may leave at any time. I worry that some of them may be involved in the theft. If their guests leave with the auction items, they may never be found again.

And I can't keep guests in the club forever.

Therefore, the auction item must be retrieved as soon as possible. "

Luke asked, "You want me to assist the investigation in a private capacity?"

"Can the Robbery and Murder Division take over the case?"

Luke asked back, "Is anyone dead?"

"No, I don't want that to happen to the club, it's horrible."

"The Robbery and Murder Division does not normally deal with theft."

"But the value of that lot is high."

"Will he donate that auction item to the police?"

"How can it be?"

"Then what does the value of the stolen auction item have to do with the Robbery and Murder Division?"

"OK, then I will ask you to help retrieve the auction item in the name of hiring a detective. As for the hiring fee, you will definitely be satisfied."

Luke nodded, and did not ask about the specific amount of the employment fee. After all, the relationship between the two is a bit complicated, and talking about money hurts feelings.

Of course, if Lilith is not satisfied with the commission this time, and there is no way to maintain the relationship between the two, Luke will not help her again next time.

However, judging from the previous relationship between the two, Lilith is a smart woman, and she should not break her promise.

"If you trust me, I can help with the investigation.

However, I cannot guarantee that the auction item will be retrieved. "Luke's investigation in his private capacity will have certain limitations, and it is not easy to use the power and resources of the police.

"I believe you can." Lilith put her arm around Luke's shoulder, "come on, I'll take you to meet the relevant people."

As the two walked, Lilith introduced the situation of the club. This club is a membership system, and outsiders cannot enter.

There are a variety of facilities and services in the club, and the environment and living conditions even exceed five-star hotels.

During the conversation, the two walked into the club hall.

A tall Caucasian woman walked over quickly. She had short black hair that reached the ears, and was wearing a dark blue tight vest and green yoga pants. Her bulging figure was vividly outlined.

Very seductive.

"Lilith, where have you been, I've been looking for you."

"Hey Cheryl, what can I do for you?"

"Yes, there is something I must talk to you about. I lost my necklace."

Lilith sighed softly, glanced at Luke, and said to Cheryl, "Let's go to the sofa and talk."

The two women walked to the sofa and sat down, Luke followed suit and sat next to Lilith.

Cheryl glanced at Luke, "Is he your friend?"

"Yes." Lilith gave a brief introduction to the two, "His name is Luke, and he is a friend I trust very much.

If there is anything, you can just say it. "

Lilith introduced to Luke again, "Her name is Cheryl Ganassi, and she is my best friend."

Cheryl Ganassi looked at Luke and said to Lilith, "I know pretty much all of your friends... but I've never met him.

It can't be your new boyfriend. "

Luke laughed, "I'm just an admirer of Miss Finn."

Lilith is very satisfied with Luke's answer, but she is not in the mood to continue this topic now, "Cheryl, what's the matter?"

Cheryl Ganassi sighed and said anxiously, "Do you remember the sapphire necklace I wore at the dance the night before?"

"Aquamarine Star?"

"Yes, I put it in the room safe after the prom.

I went to check this morning and found that Aquamarine was missing.

I originally wanted to call the police, but considering that you are now the person in charge of the club, I came to you to discuss it. "

Lilith was stunned for a moment, as if digesting the news, she confirmed, "Cheryl, are you sure that the Seablue Star was stolen, not that you put it somewhere and forgot?"

"It's impossible for me to misplace such a precious necklace, and I'm sure it was stolen.

Lilith, shouldn't we call the police immediately? "

Lilith felt a little tired. The matter of the stolen auction items had not been dealt with yet, and now another precious gemstone necklace was stolen. If this news spread, her ability would definitely be questioned again.

"Call the police for sure, but don't say anything, leave this matter to me, and I will definitely help you find Seablue Star as soon as possible." Lilith comforted Cheryl Ganassi, then looked aside Luke, "Luke, what do you think?"

"Your approach is very safe." Luke responded, and then looked at Cheryl Ganassi, "When did you find out that the Heart of Sea Blue was stolen?"

"Ten minutes ago."

"Do you have any suspects?"

"No."

"What about the exact time it was stolen?"

"I don't know either.

I went to the gym this morning to exercise and heard about the theft of the auction item. When I returned to the room, I felt a little uneasy. I checked the valuables in the safe and found that the Seablue Star was gone. "

Lilith said softly, "Luke, I don't want the news of the stolen necklace to spread. It will make the club's guests feel unsafe. So, can you investigate the case of the stolen Seablue Star first?"

Luke nodded. Anyway, the police have already started the case of the theft of the auction item, so there is no rush for that case. "Miss Ganassi, can I go to your room and have a look?"

Cheryl Ganassi vaguely heard the conversation between the two, and asked Lilith, "Who the hell is he?"
