Los Angeles Detective

"So that blue-haired boy is also investigating me?" Luke thought for a while and shook his head. "It shouldn't be him. If he had the brains, he wouldn't do such a stupid thing as stealing a police Harley."

Daisy smiled, "I don't think it's him either, it could be his lawyer, or it could be his father."

Luke asked Matthew to investigate the thief Cabin Portia's father. His father was the vice principal of a private middle school. Ironically, he didn't even teach his own son well.

"Have you seen his father?"

"No, but I have inquired about the lawyer Avery Bruce, he only litigates for the rich and well-known, and he and Cabin Portia are completely in two circles.

I guess it is probably Cabin Portia's father who came forward to hire a lawyer. "

Luke asked curiously, "What is their purpose in investigating me?"

"It's a very common method to fully understand the situation of the other party's client, find out the other party's weaknesses and needs, and then decide whether to go to court or settle. You don't have to worry too much."

"Is this normal practice in your legal profession?"

"It depends."

"Is there anything I can do?"

"Come with me for the next out-of-court settlement, and then just wait for the money to be collected."

"Sounds good." Luke smiled, "How do you know that the other party will definitely settle out of court?"

"Based on my experience, this possibility is extremely high." Daisy said, "Carbin Portia's father is the vice-principal of a private middle school, and parents of students spend a lot of money to send their children to private middle schools.

What would they think if they found out that the vice-principal of the school couldn't even teach his own son?

What kind of impact will it have on the reputation of the middle school?

If I were Cabin Portia's father, I must find a way to calm the impact of this incident. "

Luke also felt that Daisy's speculation was reasonable, so he was relieved to leave the matter to her.

In terms of compensation, Luke doesn't want to give in. You sent detectives to investigate me, so why should I be polite to you.

As a policeman, Luke is disgusted by such things.

After dinner, Luke placed an order on the sea fishing website and reserved a small yacht.

...

Early the next morning, Luke drove to Maria del Rey Pier, the largest private dock in the world, and the closest to downtown Los Angeles.

Xiao Hei also went with Luke. He originally made an appointment with David and Raymond, but both of them were busy.

Luke felt that these two guys were blind in Los Angeles.

There are also regulations for sea fishing in Los Angeles. Before departure, you must buy a fishing license on the pier, one per person, $15 a day.

There were two fishing rods on board, and neither Luke nor Xiao Hei brought any personal fishing gear.

The most important thing is to be accompanied by a senior captain. Luke wants to learn sea fishing and sailing with him. Tips are definitely indispensable, starting at $100.

Everything was ready, and the two set foot on the yacht.

The captain of the yacht is Tom Du. Well, he is actually Tom Du. He is a Chinese guy who looks to be in his thirties. He is very dark, with thick eyebrows and big eyes.

The younger brother whose ancestral home comes from HLJ.

The reason why he met a Chinese captain was not chosen by Luke on his own initiative, but because of market demand.

Many Chinese tourists want to experience sea fishing when they come to Los Angeles, so the number of Chinese captains will naturally be more.

It's the same as Chinese tour guides.

Luke followed him into the wheelhouse and talked about wanting to learn how to yacht.

Tom readily agreed. There are quite a few customers with similar requirements to Luke. Anyway, the other party chartered the boat and provided the service himself.

Moreover, Luke and the others are willing to charter a small yacht. It is definitely not bad for money. As long as the customers are satisfied, they can also earn more tips.

That's what's most important to him.

Soon the two sides started teaching mode.

There is no relevant study card this time, but Luke also learns quickly.

Because this thing is really not difficult, it is easier than learning to drive.

There are several subjects in the driver's license test, but there are only two subjects in the yacht test, theory and practical operation.

As long as you remember the function of the cab button, you can drive without worrying about traffic lights, let alone hitting people.

Tom demonstrated it several times, and Luke had already learned it. He began to drive the yacht to face the wind and waves, and drove dozens of nautical miles before stopping the boat for fishing.

Tom reminded Luke that if he wants to drive a yacht for sea fishing alone in the future, he still needs to take a driving license test, which is not expensive and very convenient.

Later, Tom began to teach Luke and Little Black Sea Fishing.

There is a big difference between fishing on the sea and fishing on the shore. Tom said a lot of precautions, and Luke also learned it humbly.

Such as fish species and habits.

The sea fishing line should be thicker, with a diameter of more than 0.5 mm and a line length of 60 to 70 meters.

Of course, in addition to technology, a large part of fishing also depends on luck.

If he could actually catch a big tuna, Luke would give it a shot.

He had fishing experience before, and after catching a few fish, he quickly figured out the sea fishing routine.

There are also many harvests, such as lobster, crab, flounder, grouper and so on.

Xiao Hei didn't gain much.

At noon, the three had dinner on the yacht.

Tom simply processed the caught seafood, steamed or boiled or directly cut into sashimi to eat, and made a whole fish feast.

Don't be polite at this time, just open your belly and eat.

Because according to the law, each person can only take away up to ten sea catches.

After sea fishing, Luke drove the yacht back to the pier.

Today's harvest is still very big. Luke learned to drive a yacht and sea fishing, and caught more than a dozen fish. He evened it with Xiao Hei. He took ten fish away, and released the fish that were too small.

Before leaving, he paid Tom a tip of two hundred dollars.

Of course, this is also a one-shot deal, and next time Luke can drive a yacht out to sea by himself.

Luke refrigerated the catch in a box with ice and moved it to the trunk of the car.

Luke closed the trunk, "Man, it's time to go home."

Xiao Hei didn't respond.

Luke sighed, "Give you a chance, invite me to the bar for a drink."

Xiao Hei said subconsciously, "Why did you ask me to invite you?"

"OK, then go back to your respective homes."

"Wait, let's have a drink." Xiao Hei added, "I'm treating you."

On the way to the bar, Luke asked casually, "What's on your mind?"

"Is it obvious?"

"I haven't talked nonsense all day, which makes me a little unaccustomed."

Xiao Hei raised his eyebrows, "Don't you like my nonsense?"

"I never said I didn't like it." Luke shook his head. Investigating cases is a boring job, and sometimes it can be quite depressing. Listening to Xiao Hei's nonsense can mediate the atmosphere to a certain extent.

"Then you interrupt me every time."

"If I don't interrupt, let's talk nonsense together, can we still investigate the case?"

Xiao Hei smiled, and soon his smile faded, "Dude, I'm in big trouble."

When we got to the bar, Luke asked in detail, "What's wrong?"

"Julian."

Luke took a sip of his wine, a little dissatisfied, "Don't jump out word by word, what's the matter?"

Xiao Hei drank the wine in the glass and fell into memory.

[Eight o'clock last night.

A luxurious western restaurant.

Xiao Hei took Julian into the restaurant, and was led by the waiter to the pre-booked table.

Xiao Hei kindly helped Julian open the chair.

Julian looked at the environment of the restaurant, "Wow... this seems to be a Michelin restaurant, I've heard of it before."

"How do you like it?"

Julian asked in a low voice, "Will it be expensive?"

"Baby, I have money, and I will be happy to spend any amount of money for you."

Julian looked at Xiao Hei affectionately.

The dishes were served quickly. Looking at the exquisite dishes and the other guests around, Julian looked at his long gray dress and seemed a little uneasy.

"Is it inappropriate for me to wear this today?"

"No, you are so beautiful, you are the only one in my eyes, and I can't tolerate other people."

"Are you serious?"

"Of course."

"Marcus, I love you."

"Baby, I love you too."

Julian grabbed Xiao Hei's right hand, "Let's get married."

"What?" Question marks were written all over Xiao Hei's face.

Julian said seriously, "Let's get married and build a family of our own."

"Julian...you...why do you suddenly have such an idea?"

"I know it might be a bit sudden. We haven't known each other for a long time, but we are so suitable. I love you and you love me, so why don't you get married?"

"Uh..." Xiao Hei was stunned, and then forced a smile, "Haha... I was almost fooled by you."

"Marcus, I'm not kidding, I'm serious."

Xiao Hei's palms were already wet, and his legs were shaking violently, "I think...is it too fast?"

"You don't want to marry me?"

"No, it's not that I don't want to... I just feel that it's too hasty. I should be the one to propose to you, right?

I don't want to be too hasty... I want to prepare a different proposal for you. "

"I don't need it, as long as you are by my side is enough."

Xiao Hei "...\
