William said, "I don't know the specific reason. Everyone has their own privacy, even friends. If you ask about other people's privacy, you may not even be friends."

Luke asked, "Given what you know about Tony, where would he go?"

"I don't know. He's an adult and he won't tell me everything."

"Has he ever been missing for such a long time before?"

"It happened several times before, and then he came back on his own. In fact, it's nothing. For people like us, who don't have a family or a job, it's normal to go out for a walk when we get tired of staying in one place."

"Does Tony have any contact with his family?"

"I don't know, at least I haven't seen him. But one time we drank together, and he mentioned his wife and children. It can be heard that he still misses them."

"Is Tony married?" Luke frowned slightly. The information showed that Tony was single and his family members included parents and older brother.

"I don't know, I just know that he lived with that woman for a period of time."

"What's that woman's name?"

"I didn't ask."

"How old is the child? Boy or girl?"

William spread his hands and said, "Come on, we were just chatting that day, and I also drank a lot. I don't have a family or children, and I'm not interested in this topic. I didn't pay much attention to it at all.

I'm willing to assist you in your investigation, but I really don't know."

"Who else knows Tony better besides you?"

"Tony is relatively withdrawn and doesn't take the initiative to get to know other people. He occasionally chats with homeless people nearby, but those homeless people definitely don't know as much as I do..." William recalled for a while,

"By the way, I also remembered a situation. Tony knew a rich man, and I saw him go to Tony's house."

"How do you know the other person is rich?"

"He drives a white BMW X5 and wears a decent suit. It's hard to see this kind of person in the surrounding communities."

"How many times have you met this person?"

"I can't remember the exact number of times, but it must have been at least four or five times."

"When did he come?"

"I can't remember clearly, because the span is quite long. We see each other about once a year on average."

"When was the last time we met?"

"Maybe... around Christmas last year? I can't remember exactly."

"Describe the features of the rich man."

"I only saw him from a distance. I couldn't see his face clearly. I only knew he was white, male, and of medium build. Tony never mentioned this person."

"Does Tony have any special fetish for women?"

"No, he is not very interested in women."

"Does Tony have a gun?"

"Not that I know of."

"Did Tony ever mention his home state of Nevada?"

"His hometown is Nevada? I have no idea. He never mentioned it. From his accent, I thought he was a local."

"How is Tony's financial situation?"

"It's not bad, at least it's much better than me. He has relief funds, lives in a comfortable house, and occasionally orders takeout. At least I haven't seen him worry about money."

Luke asked, "Isn't that small amount of relief money enough for him to buy unique products?"

"Then I don't know. He may have other sources of income. This is private. He won't say it, and I won't ask." William showed an expression that you understand.

"Thank you for assisting us in our investigation." Luke handed the other party a business card. If you think of any clues, you can contact me at any time.

William took the business card and pointed to the blue tent, "Can I go back to sleep?"

Luke took out another twenty dollars and handed it to him, "Buy yourself some food."

"Thank you, can I buy a beer? I haven't had a drink since Tony disappeared."

"up to you."

Luke turned and left. The money had been given to him, and he didn't care whether the other party used it to buy hamburgers or beer.

Back in the car, Luke asked David beside him, "What do you think?"

David thought for a while, "Yesterday you were off duty. We checked Tony's past call records and found no contact between him and his relatives in Nevada in the past twenty years. Coupled with William's description today, Tony's attitude towards his family

It’s even more abnormal.”

Luke took advantage of the situation and said, "Tony hates the police and doesn't contact his relatives in his hometown. Could it be that because he committed a crime in Nevada, he doesn't dare to go back, let alone contact his relatives in his hometown?"

"It is possible, but it has been 20 years and it happened in other states. It is not easy to find out." After David finished speaking, his cell phone rang.

"Buzz..."

David clicked on the text message and read, "This is Lindsay's address. I want to go there."

"What do you want to do? If you meet that man again, will you beat him up or just kill him."

"I did think about beating up that bastard, but he might make Lindsay angry and make Lindsay's situation worse. I... just wanted to help her."

Luke didn't believe it. In his opinion, David could do anything. "How can I help?"

David opened the car armrest box and took out several white pill boxes, "Naloxone."

Luke was impressed by this drug. It is a unique receptor antagonist. When injected into the human body, it can quickly relieve the toxic effects of the unique drug on the central nervous system. It can save the lives of overdose patients in a timely manner. It is a safe and reliable drug.

, low-priced first-aid medicine with no side effects.

"What I know is that you are helping her, but what I don't know is that you are encouraging her to take drugs. You should be helping her detox now, not preparing drugs for overdose."

"You think I don't want to? You think I haven't tried it? I've tried all the methods that should be tried, and quitting drugs is not as easy as I thought.

Do you know how many people die from drug overdose every year? I was saving her life."

"OK, don't waste time, I'm hungry." Luke waved his hand. After all, this was a matter between David and his wife, and he didn't want to interfere too much.

David shook his head and started to start the car, "Is being hungry so scary?"

"Is there a problem?"

"Listen, if you don't want to go, I can give you a meal first. I understand..."

Luke interrupted, "We'll eat after the delivery."

Lindsay lives not far from here. It only takes a few minutes to drive there. David stopped the car and looked at the house number on the house, "It should be here."

Outside the window is a dilapidated square with a broken wooden fence and a piece of iron surrounding it. The yard is in a mess and there are colorful graffiti on the walls.

David pulled on the handbrake and took a deep breath, "You wait in the car for a while, I'll be out soon."

"You wait in the car, I'll go and see you off."

"What?" David thought he heard wrongly.

"Are you sure you want to see what's going on inside the house? If that man opens the door, can you control yourself from punching him? Or just give him a shot?"

David touched his chin, "Don't you want to change partners? This is just the right time to get what you want."

"I want to change partners, but not in this way." Luke took the naloxone from David's hand, stepped out of the car, and said the next sentence before closing the door.
