Chapter 252 Courage
In a black Mercedes.
Luke sat in the cab and yawned.
He investigated Orti's situation, and Orti's fingerprints were not recorded in the police system.
As for the license plate number not in Orti's own name, Luke didn't get too many valuable clues before asking John and Aphra to help investigate this woman's background.
A police car pulls up and John gets out of the car and knocks on Luke's window.
Luke opened the car window, "Want to come in for a meeting?"
"No, we will continue to patrol, there are many things to do today." John handed Luke a note full of words while speaking.
"Thank you, I'll treat you to a drink another day."
"I heard that Metzque is good, but I haven't tried it yet."
Luke smiled, "I'll take you there next time."
John bid farewell and left.
Luke opened the note and looked at the contents.
Name, Ortie Dean
Although I didn't know the last name before, at least the first name is real.
From this point of view, this woman should not have too much malice towards him.
Thinking in another way, if Luke wants to deal with a person, not only must he hide his surname, but he also needs to change his name.
Luke then looked down, there was the woman's driver's license information, and her detective license information.
Pinkerton Detective Agency.
This detective agency has a history of more than 100 years, and the founder is Alan Pinkerton.
During the Civil War, Pinkerton and his detectives served the country and formed an organization for Lincoln's Union Army of the Union that specialized in collecting military intelligence on the separatist forces in the South. This agency later became the predecessor of the Military Intelligence Bureau.
Luke has heard of the reputation of this detective agency, but he doesn't know much about its situation in recent years.
But a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. As the leader of this industry, even if the power is not as good as before, it will not be too bad.
Luke recalled, thinking that he has not offended anyone recently, why would someone ask a detective to investigate him?
If it is because of work, then it is uncertain, the police industry has offended too many people.
Can't figure it out, Luke simply doesn't want to, Los Angeles is his home field, and he will meet this beautiful detective again when he finds a chance.
Luke took out his lighter and burned the note.
[Congratulations to the host, for solving two murder cases, 30 lucky draw chances will be rewarded; congratulations to the host for destroying a den that printed counterfeit banknotes, and 20 lucky draw chances will be rewarded; congratulations to the host for rescuing George in time, keeping lapd from getting into trouble, and rewarding 20 times Sweepstakes chance. 】
A familiar voice sounded in Luke's mind, and he won a total of seventy lucky draw opportunities.
Draw!
Pointer stops, handwriting identification card [you can quickly learn and comprehend handwriting identification skills within three hours]
Luke drew 70 times and got 6 cards in total.
There are three new cards, handwriting identification card, 3
3 old cards.
Adventure Card, 1
Car Skill Card, 2
Luke also won $64,000.
Added a new skill, handwriting identification.
Luke is no stranger to this skill, and he knew a little about it in his previous life, but he wasn't very proficient.
Every day is very busy at work, so there is no time to study professional skills, but now it is different, Luke has a learning card, learning can be said to be more effective.
This skill can be used not only to solve crimes, but also to identify antique characters.
In addition, Luke now has a total of four car skill cards.
Luke's driving skills are not bad, but he can't compare with professional drivers.
The driving skills required by the police are different from those of professional drivers. The police are driving to track the suspect, and the other is to stop the suspect’s car. These two aspects are also very technical.
The former, if the driving skills are not good, it is easy to lose the suspect vehicle.
As for the interception, the degree of danger is higher, and if you are not careful, you may die together.
very dangerous.
Therefore, it is necessary to practice driving skills in advance.
…
Boaya Community.
This is a standard black community.
A taxi stopped on the side of the road, and Xiao Hei got out of the car.
Looking at the dilapidated house in front of him, this is his mother's house, and it is also his home.
Xiao Hei's current income is not bad, and he always wanted to change his mother to live in a better community, but his mother was unwilling.
In her words, she is already familiar with the environment here, and because of Xiao Hei, the neighbors in the community respect her very much, and they asked her to change to a strange community, but she was not familiar with it.
In these years, Xiao Hei has his own job, life and girlfriend, and the number of times he comes back here is also less.
Now, Xiao Hei has encountered the biggest dilemma and setback in his life, and he is helpless. He doesn't know how to solve it, or even how to face it.
He knows the pain of growing up in a single-parent family. He has experienced and seen too much, and he does not want his children to suffer the same suffering.
He has despised and hated his father more than once, and he doesn't want his future children to hate him too.
My God, why do you have to have a baby?
Is it not good to live freely?
"Hey, Marcus."
"Dude, you're back!"
Neighbors and childhood friends in the community greeted each other.
Xiao Hei also forced a smile to respond, then opened the door and entered the house, "Mom, I'm back."
A black woman was sitting on the sofa watching TV, turned her head and said, "Marcus, why did you come back suddenly? Why didn't you make a call."
Black woman Xiao Hei's mother Betty.
Little black mother Betty sniffed it with her nose, "Well, it still smells so good, I can never get enough of it."
Xiao Hei's mother picked up the chicken leg and took a bite, then glanced at Xiao Hei again, "Why is your face so ugly? What happened?"
"Uh...it's nothing, you can eat first."
"Marcus, I raised you, you can't fool me.
Why don't you say it?
Afraid that I will not be able to eat if I know? "
Xiao Hei took a big gulp of Coke, "I... just don't know how to speak."
"What the **** happened? You took money you shouldn't have?"
"No, I'm not short of money, so I won't do that kind of thing."
Betty showed a worried look, "Are you sick?"
"I am very healthy."
"Then why worry? Come on, I hate this feeling of anxiety." Betty urged after eating a chicken leg.
"I...had a girlfriend some time ago..."
"I know, Julian, you told me I've seen pictures of her and she looks fine."
"She broke up with me not long ago."
"Why?"
"She wants to get married, but I think it's too early. I'm not ready yet, so I want to wait. She doesn't want to, so she breaks up with me."
"It's not your fault, if two people are not suitable, even if they are forced to marry, they will not be happy.
This is her loss. "
"I thought so too, a few days ago, my partner went to a restaurant for dinner and saw Julian...
She is pregnant. "
"I bought the one from Karma, is it yours?"
Xiao Hei nodded, looking a little embarrassed, "I've talked to her. She wants to keep this child and raise him alone. I know the difficulties involved. What our mother and child have experienced, I don't want my own The child goes through it all over again.
I want her to abort the baby, but she doesn't want to, I can't convince her, and I don't know what to do?
Am I doing something wrong? "
Betty touched Xiao Hei's cheek, "No, my child, you did nothing wrong.
Raising a child is not an easy task. If you are not prepared, it is indeed not suitable to have a child. In this way, neither the adults nor the children will be happy.
This is instead a responsible performance. "
Xiao Hei breathed a sigh of relief, "I feel much more comfortable after hearing you say that."
"But, that girl...Julian is right, she has the right to be a mother, just like I did back then, although there is only one person...I still choose to give birth to you.
Our life was not rich and we encountered many difficulties, but I never regretted it.
Looking at you now, you are so outstanding and successful, you are my greatest pride. "
"Mom, thank you for everything you do for me.
Although I never said it, I know how difficult it is, which is why I don't want children. "
"nonono, you only saw my hard side, but your presence also brought me a lot of happiness. No matter how hard and busy every day is, seeing you makes it all worthwhile.
You gave me strength and new direction.
The most correct decision in my life was to give birth to you. "
"Really?"
"Of course, I've always thought so."
Xiao Hei's mood calmed down a lot, "If Julian insists on having a baby, what do you think I should do?"
Betty said, "I hope you can take on the responsibility of a father."
"Do you want me to marry her?"
"It depends on your own thoughts, if you have the idea of getting married, I have no objection.
If you don’t want to get married, then pay child support on time and accompany your child’s growth. You are also a qualified father. "
Xiao Hei sighed softly, and suddenly thought of his father...
eight pm.
Xiao Hei asked Luke to meet, and the two sat outside the barbecue restaurant on the Ruidu Community Square.
There are various barbecues on the table.
Luke took a sip of cold draft beer, "What can you do with me?"
"I made a decision today that may affect my life... You are my partner, and I think I should tell you."
"I'll keep it a secret for you, is it a decision related to Julian?"
"That's right, I... I plan to pursue Julian again."
"Why?"
"I've always liked her, and she doesn't have a boyfriend now, isn't it normal to pursue her again?"
"Because of the child?"
"For this reason, I don't want my child to be born without a father...
I understand that feeling, I know the pain, and I don't want my child to experience it again.
so…
I..." Xiao Hei took a deep breath and mustered up his courage.
"Want to marry Julian...!"
In the minds of many Chinese, if an accidental pregnancy occurs during the relationship, it is normal to marry with a child, but it is different in the black circle in Los Angeles. Marriage requires a lot of courage.
"Man, I don't have much experience in this area, and I can't give you any advice, but if you need anything, just ask.
I will support you. "
"Thanks, I just want to talk to someone and have a drink right now."
Luke picked up the beer glass, "No problem, we won't go home without getting drunk today."
Let’s update a chapter first.
I am writing the second chapter.
