Chapter 125 Claims (plus 921)
In a black Ford Explorer.
Xiao Hei was driving in the cab, while Luke sat in the co-pilot's seat in a daze.
He thought of a familiar voice, [Congratulations to the host for cracking the 'perjury case', successfully arresting 4 suspects, and rewarding ten lucky draw opportunities. 】
This case is not complicated, and the reward is only ten lucky draw chances.
Luke still decided to draw a lottery, maybe he could get a card with a new function.
The lottery drawing interface appears in the brain.
Draw!
The pointer stops, a thousand dollars...
Draw ten times, hit two pistol cards, eight thousand dollars.
The lottery draw rate is as high as 20%, which is much higher than the previous winning rate.
Good luck today.
The system warehouse currently has 11 reserve cards and 53,000 USD reserve funds.
Adventure Cards, 3 pieces.
Precision cards, 2 pieces.
Bullet avoidance card, 2 pieces.
Pistol card, 2 pieces.
Detection card, 1 piece.
Identification card, 1 piece.
In addition, he still has 35,000 US dollars invested in the stock market, and more than 1,000 US dollars in cash.
Several days have passed, but the stock price has not changed much.
Luke felt that he had guessed right, and the realization of the stock market may be very small.
However, Luke does not plan to take it out for the time being. The stock market in the United States is still doing well. Even if you can’t make a lot of money, you can still outperform inflation.
At the same time, he also needs to find new means of realization.
Seeing Luke sitting in a daze, Xiao Hei couldn't help asking, "What are you thinking?"
Luke was perfunctory, "Why do you say Harley is my little baby? If I didn't know who you are, I would have thought you had some special hobbies."
"You were thinking about this just now?" Xiao Hei was a little unconvinced.
"if not?"
"What is there to think about, Mercedes-Benz G500 is your big baby, isn't Harley your little baby? You two babies are the dreams of many men. If I can have one of them, I will die of joy gone."
"You make a lot of money, and it's easy to buy a Harley."
"I'm saving money to buy a car for my big baby." Xiao Hei smiled triumphantly.
"Cadillac Escalade?"
"Yes, isn't it cool?"
"As long as you like it." Luke was not very interested in the legendary bathing king.
Twenty minutes later, the car stopped near Hammer's car repair shop.
Xiao Hei put on the handbrake and said, "Hey, man, I need to make it clear before I go in.
This car repair shop is opened by a friend of mine, and it is a regular car repair shop.
Your Harley was not stolen by him, nor was he dirty, but someone put it here and asked him to modify it.
He will notify me as soon as he receives the news. He's a very nice guy, so... I hope this problem can be resolved reasonably, preferably without causing him too much loss. "
"Of course, I know what to do and will handle it properly." Luke promised.
Luke knows that Xiao Hei has a good relationship with these informants, so these informants are willing to provide him with information. Xiao Hei is unreliable in other aspects, but he is still good to friends, with a high affinity attribute.
He also doesn't want to damage Xiao Hei's reputation. Once word of mouth is broken, Xiao Hei's network will be cut off, and it will be difficult for him to get news and clues in the future.
Xiao Hei is now his younger brother, so naturally he won't do things like trying to make money.
Led by Xiao Hei, the two entered the car repair shop. The owner was a black man wearing a headscarf, who looked to be in his thirties, and was wearing a baseball shirt that was obviously one size bigger.
This outfit is definitely a gang member, a **** formal business, Luke doesn't believe it.
Of course, this world is not only black and white, as long as it does not affect Luke's interests, as long as he does not commit a felony, he is too lazy to take care of it.
This kind of thing can't be managed.
After meeting the owner of the car repair shop, Xiao Hei shook hands with an arm wrestling style, then pulled each other into his arms, bumped shoulders, and patted each other on the back with the other hand.
Xiao Hei explained, "This is my partner, Detective Luke." Then he pointed to the black man and introduced, "This is Peel, my good brother."
Pier stretched out his right hand, "Inspector Luke, you are Marcus's friend, you are my friend, welcome."
"Thank you." Luke shook hands politely.
Xiao Hei smiled and said, "Now that everyone knows each other, let's go and see the cute little Harley."
Behind the car repair shop is a large yard, where there are many cars and motorcycles, some are being repaired, and some are idle there.
Led by Pierre, the three of them came to the east side of the yard, and there was a Harley Fat Boy by the wall.
However, Luke almost didn't recognize the car after seeing it.
The Harley Fatboy has been modified, from start to finish.
From the outside, the lights, seats, and tailgate have all been replaced, and they are new parts.
Luke tried to sit on it, the new seat is very comfortable, leather, softer and more elastic than the previous one.
"Why modify a Harley?"
Pierre spread his hands, "It was the car thief's request. He brought a motorcycle for me to modify. I didn't know the car was stolen at first, but I heard about Marcus later... But the car had been modified by then. up.
sorry, without your consent. "
Luke asked, "Where are the cars modified?"
"Xenon headlights, anti-theft devices, navigation brackets, seats, tailgates, fenders, hot-melt tires, heated handles, tail boxes, etc.
In addition, the new bumper has not been delivered yet, and it can only be installed after it arrives. The car will be more beautiful then.
I promise this car will be even better than before. "
Luke didn't fully believe what he said. He drove the Harley for a test drive, and it felt really good, both in terms of performance and comfort.
"How much did this car cost?"
"$12,000."
"So expensive?" Luke was a little surprised, he only spent 20,000 dollars on the car.
Pierre pointed to the Harley and said confidently, "These accessories are the best, and the workers' skills are also the best. It's worth the price. And the previous Harley can only be regarded as a standard configuration, and now this one is a private customization. Version, super cool."
To be honest, Luke also felt that the modification was not bad, and the anger in his heart also subsided, "Who is the **** who stole the car?"
"I don't know, it's also the first time I saw him. He is white, about 20 years old, of medium build, wearing a leather jacket. He looks like a punk. He pays, and I help him modify it."
"How much did he pay?"
"A deposit of five thousand dollars, and another seven thousand dollars will be paid when the car is picked up."
"Do you have a picture of him?"
"No."
"Is there monitoring here?"
"It is impossible to install monitoring in this kind of place, and it will affect my business."
Luke asked back, "How do you plan to solve this matter?"
Pier thought for a while, then looked at Marcus beside him, "I told Marcus this because I believed in him, and I listened to him."
Marcus was very moved after hearing this, and reached out to fist bump Pierre, "Thank you for your trust, brother."
Luke nodded, "Marcus, what do you think?"
Marcus was in a bit of a dilemma. As far as his brain capacity was concerned, he couldn't think of a good solution, "Ah, you are all my brothers. I don't want anyone's interests to be damaged. I hope everyone can be happy.
The more friends the better, isn't it? "
"You're right, I respect your opinion." Luke stood up and patted Harley, "Put the car here first, you continue to modify it, and when the car is modified, call the car thief.
After he pays the rest of the modification fee, we will call the rookie patrol.
The money belongs to you, the car belongs to me, and the person is handed over to the rookie patrolman to arrest him. How do you feel? "
The owner of the car repair shop, Pierre, also breathed a sigh of relief. What he feared most was that Luke would take the car away and not get the rest of the refit.
"Thank you, I am very satisfied, this plan is wonderful."
"You're welcome, you're Marcus's friend, that's my friend."
Hearing Luke praise him so much, Marcus grinned wide, revealing twelve neat white teeth.
Luke hasn't finished talking yet, he still wants to sue the **** who stole the car. Although the car has been modified well, he is quite satisfied.
But after all, without his permission, he wanted to ask the car thief for another compensation for motorcycle repairs.
At least five thousand dollars to start.
My car is not so easy to steal.
…
Ruyy restaurant.
This is a French restaurant located in the suburbs. The restaurant has two restaurants, indoor and outdoor.
Luke and Daisy are sitting in the open-air dining room.
Beside the dining table is a garden, the moon and stars are scarce, there are not many guests, and it is very quiet.
The two ordered a bottle of red wine. Daisy took a sip of the red wine and said with a look of enjoyment, "The environment here is good, very suitable for couples to date."
"You like it, I will bring you here often in the future."
Daisy smiled, "Then you should make good money, the consumption here is not low."
Luke said solemnly, "From now on, I am determined to be the most wealthy detective in the United States."
"Shouldn't it be the police?"
"I think a detective is more suitable."
"Are you going to quit your job and become a detective?"
"You don't have to resign to be a detective, at least I don't plan to resign now. When I become famous one day, I can consider opening a detective agency."
Daisy nodded, "That's a good idea, I'll be your first guest then."
Luke smiled, "I'll give you a 50% discount."
"Wow, how nice to me?"
Luke smiled.
Daisy showed a curious look, and changed the subject, "By the way, I heard that Lucas is not dead, is it true?"
"Have you seen Brazilian Lovers too?"
Daisy smiled, "Maybe it's special warfare?"
"Are you a Lucas fan?"
"Don't you think he's handsome?"
Luke felt a little upset, "I don't know if he's handsome or not, but he's fast, less than five minutes."
"Is it appropriate to say this on this occasion? But how do you know?"
"Lucas has been arrested, and I also participated in the operation. At that time, he was playing poker with his wife, and it took only ten minutes from beginning to end."
"Wow, this is the first time you have described the case in such detail. But it's all useless stuff. My idol in adolescence was ruined by you."
Luke pointed to himself, "You have a new idol now."
"Well, you're definitely a lot better than him at poker."
Luke smiled and continued, "How do you know that Lucas is not dead? The police probably didn't announce it to the public."
Daisy shrugged, "There are many people paying attention to this matter, more than you can imagine.
The police did not announce it, but the information has already begun to leak out. As for whether the information was deliberately disclosed by the police or was dug up by reporters, then I don’t know.
So what the **** is going on with this case? If Lucas wasn't dead, who was? Is he a murderer? "
Luke thought of Xiao Hei bragging about X in the car today, pretending to be mysterious, "I really want to know?"
"Of course, this case is widely circulated. Almost everyone in our law firm knows about it. I am also curious."
"There are too many people here, come home with me tonight, in bed, and I'll tell you."
Daisy was not fooled, "Your bed is a bit hard, I'm not used to sleeping on it."
Luke grabbed Daisy's smooth left hand, "It's okay to go to your bed and talk, I can get used to it."
Daisy chuckled lightly, "Let me think about it."
Luke squeezed his eyes, "I won't let you down."
The two clinked glasses, Daisy took a sip and put down the glass, "Didn't you say you have something to discuss with me? Could it be this matter?"
"No, I want to consult with you about some legal matters."
"What happened?"
"My Harley was stolen."
"Your car was stolen?" Daisy showed a surprised look.
"Exactly."
"When did this happen?"
"It's been a few days."
Daisy thought for a while, "No wonder I didn't see Harley when I went to your house last time, why didn't you tell me?"
"It's not a glorious thing, you know."
"The car is lost, you should go to the police or find it yourself, why are you looking for me?"
Luke took a bite of the tender and juicy steak, and said slowly, "The car was found in a car repair shop.
The car thief sent it to a car repair shop for refitting, and when it was found, the car had been changed beyond recognition.
If the car thief is caught, I intend to sue him for repairs.
how do you feel? "
"Should be, this is your right. If you need, I can be your lawyer and call you..." Daisy suddenly understood, and smiled,
"You don't really want to start a detective agency at all, you are trying to trick me."
"I didn't." Luke wouldn't admit it.
"Then I won't give you a 50% discount, up to 30% off."
Luke is very satisfied with the result.
Daisy quickly entered work mode,
"How much did you pay for Harley?"
"About twenty thousand dollars."
"How much do you want to sue the other party for compensation?"
"Is five thousand dollars okay?"
"No." Daisy frowned slightly, "You want too little."
"How much do you think is appropriate?"
"$30,000."
Luke thought he heard it wrong, "I only spent $20,000 on the car."
"There is indeed a certain relationship between the cost of buying a car and the amount of compensation, but it is not absolute.
The car thief’s problem is not just stealing the car, but selfishly modifying your favorite Harley without permission.
This is priceless. "
Luke secretly thought, it seems that he still doesn't know much about America, or the profession of lawyers.
Too much profit.
Seeing that Luke hadn't responded, Daisy wondered what he was thinking, "What do you think?"
"Your lawyers have really dark hearts."
Daisy was a little embarrassed, "You don't like this claim scheme?"
"I love it to death."
Ask for a monthly pass! Ask for a monthly pass!
