Chapter 539 Dress Up
"Hey guys, what are you talking about?" Rhett walked into the restaurant courtyard.
The deputy team beckoned, "Sit here, I have left a seat for you, I thought you wouldn't be here today."
Rett smiled and sat beside him, "I heard that the baked snails here are good. I've wanted to try them for a long time, but no one has invited me."
The deputy team laughed, "It's simple, as long as you send more funds to our squadron, we will often invite you."
"Is your team still short of funds? It should be the entire police department, no, the entire Los Angeles Police Department has the most.
Eating here for a month is not a problem. "
Luke picked up the wine glass, "Director, tell me the address of what you want to eat next time."
"That's right." Reid took a sip of his wine and joked to the deputy team aside, "Old man, learn a little bit."
The deputy team rolled their eyes with disdain.
It took a long time to eat French food, and everyone chatted while eating.
Luke's a la carte dishes include smoked salmon, mushroom soup, baked lobster, steak, goat milk blueberry cheese, black tea, and whiskey.
After each person ordered, they also ordered three buffet dishes, and those who are not full can pick it up by themselves.
Jackson asked, "Director, what do you think of the case of Latifah Gallo being killed?"
Rett put down the knife and fork, wiped his mouth, "Is this the topic you were talking about just now?"
"Yes, I think this case is a tragedy that could have been avoided.
Latifah Gallo doesn’t have to die, Teresa Louise doesn’t need to go to jail. "
Rett shook his head, "I have a different opinion on this matter.
Some seemingly accidental things are actually doomed.
The conflict between Latifah Gallo and Teresa Louise has not been a day or two, and it may have existed from the day Teresa Louise was born.
Contradictions have long been buried, and it is only a matter of time before they erupt.
This incident was just a trigger. "
Jackson said, "I mean, if there is external intervention and correct guidance, their mother-daughter relationship may return to the right track."
Red smiled, and looked at Luke aside, "What do you think?"
Because this case is relatively sensitive, Luke has not participated in the discussion, but since Rhett has spoken, he has nothing to worry about, "I agree with the director.
Their mother and daughter are both the closest relatives and the people who hate each other the most. If we borrow the point of view of film and television dramas, this mother and daughter is a fateful battle.
Even if you escape this time, there will be a next time. "
Jackson shook his head, "I don't really believe in fate, but I still think personal efforts are more important."
Luke took a sip of red wine and asked, "Do you know how Teresa Louise's biological father died?"
Jackson thought for a while, "It seems that he died in an accident."
Luke said, "I've had a special look at his situation.
Teresa Louise's biological father filed for divorce because he could not stand the control of his ex-wife.
At that time, Latifah Gallo was very angry and felt that her ex-husband had betrayed her. In order to avenge her ex-husband, she worked hard to win the custody of her daughter.
Teresa Louise's biological father loved her very much and always wanted to regain custody of her daughter, but failed.
Soon after, Teresa Louise's biological father died in a traffic accident.
The death of her biological father dealt a great blow to Teresa Louise, and at the same time, it also planted the seeds of hatred.
Regardless of whether the death of Teresa Louise's biological father was related to Latifah Gallo or not, Teresa Louise would subconsciously blame Latifah Gallo.
Even if it is suppressed now, there will be a day when it will explode.
This is also how Teresa Louise would be so angry as a stepdaughter after Latifah Gallo proposed to divorce her current husband Alec Wyatt.
She probably saw the shadow of her biological father in her stepfather.
She didn't want things to happen again, she felt that all of this was caused by Latifah Gallo, that's why she killed her. "
Xiao Hei said with emotion, "It's terrible. I don't care whether my daughter can become a talent in the future. I just hope that she can grow up happily. I will do my best to create a relaxed environment for her."
Luke raised his glass, "To you, future good dad."
Rett pressed his elbows on the table, crossed his hands, and said, "OK, the case is over, let's talk about something happy."
Xiao Hei smiled and said, "Will you give us a bonus?"
"It's not a bonus, but I believe it is more meaningful than a bonus. In view of the hard work of the first squadron this year and its outstanding performance in the terrorist attack case, the police department decided to award a hero medal to all members of the first squadron. In addition, Some of the team members have been promoted to a higher rank."
"Wow..." The deputy patted his chest, "It seems that I can get another medal on my chest. I feel like I should have collected all the medals of the Los Angeles Police Department."
Matthew looked forward to it, "Do I have a medal too?"
Rett laughed, "If you don't want it, you can give it to me."
Matthew said happily, "No, of course I want it, it's my honor."
Luke proposes, "Guys, let's raise our glasses to a bad but good day."
The deputy team toasted, "Congratulations, you have realized the true meaning of life."
…
The next morning.
Daisy's house, bedroom.
"Ding Dong, congratulations to the host, for successfully solving the murder case of the prison guard, rewarding you with 60 points.
The host catches the robbery suspect and rewards him with 20 points. "
Luke opened his eyes and yawned. The case this time is relatively simple and there is no danger. Luke did not use the function card, and there is no need to add a new card for the time being.
The points are saved first, and I don’t bother to check the system.
The sheet twitched a bit, Luke turned his head to look, Daisy turned around, the quilt was only half covered, her curves were curvaceous, and a large piece of tight skin was exposed.
Luke looked at Daisy, and thought of Lilith in his mind. Both women are beautiful, but they belong to different styles. Daisy has wheat complexion, is mature, independent, and capable of a professional woman.
Lilith has fair skin and a slender figure, with the elegance and arrogance of a European aristocratic woman.
Luke's attitude towards the two is also slightly different.
His relationship with Daisy is between friends with benefits and lovers. Before that, Luke also tried to take a step forward to determine the relationship between lovers, but Daisy flinched.
If you don’t advance, you will retreat. The relationship between the two is more focused on friends with benefits.
Luke also figured it out, he can have a cannon, but he doesn’t have to be responsible, and there’s nothing wrong with it.
The relationship between Luke and Lilith is more like a one-night stand. Everyone just had some pleasant exchanges at a specific place and at a specific time. As for whether it can go further, it is still unclear.
To put it bluntly, even if you want to be responsible, others may not appreciate it.
Luke reached out and patted Daisy's waist, "Lawyer Ellis, it's time to get up and work."
Daisy pushed Luke's hand away and yawned, "Let me sleep again, your little case is nothing at all."
Luke and the Zhang brothers made an appointment to sign the equity transfer contract today.
After the two get up, they simply wash up and go to a nearby restaurant for breakfast.
Afterwards, the two drove to Zhang Brothers Construction Company, a seven-story office building located in downtown Los Angeles.
After Luke got off the car, the Zhang brothers were already waiting in the parking lot.
Luke greeted the two brothers and introduced his lawyer Daisy.
The four of them didn't go upstairs immediately. After waiting for a few minutes, David also arrived in a pickup truck.
David met the Zhang brothers for the first time.
The Zhang brothers were very enthusiastic, but David was indifferent, and did not intend to communicate with the brothers too much.
Five people went to the office building, and the Zhang brothers first took Luke and the three to visit the company.
Actually, there is nothing to visit. The office of Zhang’s construction company is not big, and there are not many employees. It is only used occasionally to receive guests.
Zhang Jianguo invited Luke and others to the lounge and made a pot of Kung Fu tea.
Because it has been negotiated before, the process of signing the contract was very smooth. Luke and David bought 20% of the shares of Zhang Brothers Construction Company at a price of 200,000 U.S. dollars. After signing the contract, within ten working days, two $100,000 to the company account.
In less than an hour, the signing was completed.
Luke and the others wanted to leave, but were stopped by the Zhang brothers, who warmly invited the three of them to have lunch together to discuss the company's future development.
The law firm still has something to do, so Daisy left first.
Luke and David were left behind by the Zhang Brothers.
Perhaps because of the presence of David, the Zhang brothers did not choose a Chinese restaurant this time, but chose a well-known local Italian restaurant.
Zhang Jianguo picked up a glass of red wine, "Captain David, I offer you a toast, and I wish us a happy cooperation in the future."
"I'm sure it will." David picked up his glass and took a sip.
Luke asked, "Mr. Zhang, when will my house be finished?"
Zhang Jianguo made a calculation, "Most of the projects have been completed, and the rest are small corner jobs, which will be completed in about a week."
"You brothers have worked hard during this time. After the work is finished, I will definitely hold a banquet to thank you."
Zhang Jianguo said, "Mr. Li, we are a family now, and we don't talk about each other. This is our duty."
Luke nodded and asked, "How is Jinlang Building Materials Company? Have you been looking for trouble recently?"
Zhang Jianguo put down the tableware, "I was just about to tell you about this.
Jinlang Building Materials Company is still not reconciled, and keeps making small moves. Our company recently received a housing construction contract in Varka Community, and Jinlang Building Materials Company sent people to find trouble again.
Fortunately, the owner was not there at the time, otherwise, it would definitely affect the image of our company. "
"This matter has to be resolved as soon as possible." Luke didn't care before because he had no direct relationship with him, but now it's different. The construction company has its own shares. If Jinlong Building Materials Company makes troubles, it will affect him Make money, and maybe even lose money.
The Zhang brothers looked at each other, their faces couldn't restrain their joy, Zhang Jianmin asked, "Mr. Li, what are you going to do?"
Luke said, "Don't they want to talk? Then talk to them. Since we are also shareholders of the company, we will also come forward and make this matter completely clear."
Zhang Jianguo said, "You mean, let me take the initiative to ask people from Jinlang Building Materials Company to meet?"
"That's right, and it's a person who can really call the shots. After meeting, explain things clearly at once, so as to save troubles in the future."
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Zhang Jianguo quickly agreed, and if Luke and David were willing to come forward, he would have the backbone.
Now that the business has been settled, everyone will eat, drink, and chat next.
The Zhang brothers frequently toasted David, and they got to know each other a little better, but after all, they were not on the same road, and after a few words, there was no common topic.
After dinner, Luke asked David to go to the gun club with him.
David asks, "Have you had any shotgun practice lately?"
Luke is eager to try, "Of course, do you want to compete?"
David didn't answer the conversation. He had heard Raymond say that Luke's marksmanship talent is extremely high. He also felt it personally when he practiced the shotgun last time. Luke has already mastered the skill of using the shotgun. Since Luke dared to In other words, there is a certain degree of certainty.
Although David is also very confident in his marksmanship, he is Luke's half marksmanship coach after all. He should win if he wins, but he will lose face if he loses.
"This is why you asked me to come to the gun club?"
"No, I'm not here to practice shotgun this time.
My Glock pistol broke, and I wanted to take this opportunity to get a new one. "
"The Glock works great, why change it?"
"It is very good, with fast firing rate, low recoil, large ammunition capacity, and many advantages, it is the first choice for most users.
But in actual combat, its advantages are not very obvious to me.
First of all, my marksmanship is very accurate, basically one or two shots can subdue or kill the enemy.
The second shot is usually I am worried that the power of the Glock pistol is low, so I will make up the shot just to be on the safe side.
If it is more powerful, it may subdue the enemy with a single shot. "
"So, you want to switch to a more powerful pistol?"
"Yes."
David laughed, "Is the Desert Eagle big enough?"
"comeon, i mean seriously."
David rubbed his chin with his hand, "How about the Colt M1911?
11.43 mm caliber, reliable, durable, easy to maintain, the most classic pistol in the world. "
Before, Luke also used this gun when practicing pistols. At that time, he felt that the pistol was powerful and had a good grip.
But now his pistol marksmanship has been perfected. With the blessing of precision cards, he can be said to be a sharpshooter. As long as the power is strong enough, he can kill an enemy with one shot, and seven bullets are enough to deal with four to five enemies.
If there are more than five enemies, even with a rifle, it is impossible to kill all the enemies at the same time.
What's more, he can change the magazine at any time, which is enough.
After having a general goal, Luke began to try new pistols, tried all the larger caliber pistols, and selected a few favorites for actual combat exercises.
Finally selected the M1911A1, which is an improved version of the M1911.
The length of the gun is 219mm, the length of the barrel is 127mm, the weight of the whole gun is 1.36kg, the magazine capacity is 7 rounds, and it fires 0.45 inch bullets.
This gun has great power, good grip, and excellent performance, which fully meets Luke's requirements for a new gun.
