Chapter 32 Dating
Steven was taken away by the lawyer.
Marcus shrugged, "Just let him go?"
Susan said, "The photo was not taken by Steven. According to California law, there is no reason to detain him."
Jenny asked, "Does he have a motive?"
"Motives cannot be used as evidence." Susan still looked serious.
Luke was also a little depressed. What if there were no lawyers in the country?
As long as Steven has a motive, he can be directly investigated clearly.
Steven is suspicious and investigates further.
No problem. If he is cleared, the police can focus their investigation in other directions and rescue Alyssa faster.
But California has California laws, which are not suitable for Los Angeles.
David sighed, "I just deliberately angered Steven. His emotions didn't look fake, and I could feel his feelings for his wife.
I think… Alyssa’s disappearance probably has nothing to do with him.”
After David finished speaking, he looked at Luke aside, "What do you think?"
Luke shook his head, "I don't have a wife."
The deputy captain smiled and said, "Captain, what should we do next?"
"Let's all investigate separately, reorganize the clues, and find the common characteristics of the three victims. Maybe we can find new clues." Susan finished her sentence and returned to the captain's office.
The deputy captain pouted, looking like I had known this for a long time.
David asked, "Vice team, what do you have in mind?"
"The captain doesn't even have any new ideas."
"Come on, everyone knows that you are resourceful and become stronger as you age, so stop being modest."
The deputy took out a comb from his pocket and smoothed his hair. "From the current clues, the key person is still Tony Weir. He bought the modified Taser. No matter who is the suspect in the robbery, there is no way around it."
He is bound to have some intersection with him.
If Tony himself is a suspect, then he must have a certain connection with the victim, so we will now focus our investigation on the connection between Harry, Steven, Alyssa and Tony.
Of course, the focus is on investigating Steven."
Matthew said, "I have checked before and there should be no direct contact between Tony and these three people."
"Yes, Tony may not have an identity, but don't forget that Tony just used a false identity for twenty years, and the other party has a real identity. What if the other party uses his real identity to have contact with these three people?"
The deputy team concluded,
"Thoroughly investigate the surrounding relationships of these three people to see if there is anyone suspected of being Tony Weir."
"Yes, captain."
"It's the deputy team, don't ask me to correct you again."
…
night.
Luke asks Daisy to meet at the Flying Bar.
After several contacts, Luke felt pretty good about Daisy.
To put it bluntly, he is greedy for her body.
He had a girlfriend in his previous life, but he had never dated a foreign girl.
Quite looking forward to it.
Eight o'clock.
Luke meets Daisy at the door of the bar.
Daisy was wearing a black professional dress. Although it was work clothes, it still couldn't hide Daisy's graceful curves, but she looked a little tired.
"Sorry, I made you wait for me again."
"I just arrived. Come in."
The two entered the bar and found a small square table for two people.
Luke ordered two glasses of wine and a fruit plate, and the waiter also helped them get some free snacks.
Of course, tipping is indispensable.
When he came to Los Angeles, it was the first time Luke had the idea of picking up girls.
Depending on the country, culture, and race, Luke's previous methods of picking up girls may not work.
He is still in the exploratory stage.
"Do you come to this bar often?"
"My family lives nearby. Sometimes when I get home from get off work, I will have a drink on the way to feel the smell of fireworks."
"This is not what a beautiful woman in her twenties should say."
Daisy smiled and said, "What about you? Do you often work overtime too?"
"I used to work overtime a lot, but I got injured some time ago, which made me realize that there are many things in life besides work. Now I try not to work overtime as much as possible. Unless there are special circumstances or major clues."
"Do you have any objections to your captain? Although I have only met her once, I feel that she is quite serious."
"You got the point right. I'm actively fighting to prove to her that I can complete my assigned work without working overtime. It seems that the effect is pretty good now."
The waiter came over with a tray and served a small fruit plate and two glasses of wine.
"cheers." The two toasted each other.
Daisy put down her wine glass, "By the way, how is the investigation of the Taser robbery case? Oh, if it involves confidentiality clauses, you don't have to say anything."
Luke ate a piece of orange, "The case is more complicated than imagined. We have identified several suspicious persons, but there is no direct evidence that they committed the crime. We are now in a stalemate."
Daisy asked, "Are you sure that the suspect Tim who robbed me is not the suspect in the 'Taser Robbery'?"
Luke nodded, "He had an alibi for the first two Taser robberies."
"I still can't believe how unlucky I am. I was targeted by a robber as soon as I stepped out."
"Maybe you are too dazzling."
Daisy raised her glass and said, "Anyway, thank you for arriving in time, otherwise... I would be really embarrassed."
Luke also picked up the wine glass and said, "Here's to your tires, they gave us this fate."
Daisy smiled and joked, "Yeah, I'm going to buy a separate insurance for it."
"Haha..." Luke laughed.
Then, the two fell into silence again for a brief period.
Luke changed the topic, "How have you been in the past two days? Has anyone been harassing you by any suspicious people?"
"No, but... I work all day during the day and come home alone at night, which still makes me feel a little uneasy."
"Then you should consider finding a roommate."
"I'm still used to living alone."
Luke felt a little disappointed, "Then install a surveillance camera."
"I don't like surveillance. I feel like I'm the one being watched, which makes me more nervous."
This idea is very American, but Daisy’s idea is also correct. Hackers can indeed reverse monitor.
"Then use some tricks."
"What a little trick."
"For example, find an inconspicuous string and clip it to the door of your house. Before you go home, check to see if the string has been moved.
If the string falls off or changes position, it means someone may have entered the house. Although it may not be completely effective, it saves time, effort and money."
Daisy thought for a while and said, "It sounds good, I'll try it."
"Hey, if you encounter anything suspicious, you can call me anytime."
"Thanks."
After chatting for a while, Luke offered to take Daisy home.
The two wandered across the road for a while and arrived at Daisy's house on foot.
Daisy's house is a two-story villa with dark lights, so it would be a bit scary to live alone.
"Do you want me to take you in?"
"No, thank you very much for taking me home." Daisy spread her hands and seemed a little embarrassed, "I'll treat you to a drink another day."
"Won't you invite me in for a cup of coffee?"
Daisy smiled and pursed her red lips, "I have this idea, but I have to go to court tomorrow morning and I need to go to bed early..."
"Work is important, I understand. You go in, strong woman."
"Bye." Daisy said hello and went home.
Daisy entered the house, turned on the light, and stood by the window and waved to Luke.
Luke waved and turned to leave.
"Ding dong..."
