Los Angeles Detective Chapter 352

  Chapter 352 Practice

  Marriott Hotel, room 712.

  Danny Carter sat on the sofa, and the wine and cigarettes on the coffee table were cleaned up.

  A short-haired black woman sat on the sofa next to her, looking at Danny Carter with scrutiny, "Danny, have you followed the news of the past two days?"

   "Yes, Attorney Jarvis."

   "Then you should know that the public opinion on the Internet is very unfavorable to you, and has even affected the entire Rams.

  I can't sit still, this matter must be resolved as soon as possible. If the incident is allowed to continue, your career will also be affected. "

  Danny Carter spread his hands, "Then you deal with it, aren't you professional lawyers? What's the use of telling me?"

   "You are right, I will deal with it, but before that, I have to communicate with you first, and the lawyer and the client can reach an agreement in order to resolve the matter perfectly."

   "Communicate what?"

   "Reconciliation."

   "What settlement?"

   "We can take the initiative to reach a settlement with Billie Warwick."

   “Why Settle?”

   "Because in order to calm down this matter as soon as possible, you should be very clear that hanging on the news all day is not a good thing for you.

  You can't go anywhere except the hotel. Only by solving this matter as soon as possible can your life return to normal, and you can get out of this room, go to training, and go to reunite with your family.

  Reconciliation is the fastest way to settle the matter. "

  Danny Carter chuckled, "How to reach a settlement?"

   "The reason why the other party called the police is nothing more than to get compensation and get a fortune from you. As long as you agree to give her part of the compensation, I believe she will be willing to reach a settlement."

  The smile on Danny Carter's face gradually froze, "I repeat, I didn't strengthen her, the two of us played poker entirely out of voluntary.

  If I pay the settlement now, what will other people think of me? What will fans think?

  Look, this guy has a guilty conscience, he must be a strong criminal.

I do not like this.

  I haven't done it, and I have a clear conscience. "

   "Danny, you're a good guy, I know you won't do anything illegal.

   But a lot of things... can't be impulsive.

   In order to fight for this tone, you may ruin your career, and may even affect the reputation of the entire Rams.

  Mr. Kroenke, I hope this matter ends as soon as possible. The Rams need you. "

   "So, Mr. Kroenke meant that you came here today?"

   "Danny, I'm doing it for your own good, you still have a bright future, you shouldn't waste your time in this kind of place.

  As long as you agree, I am sure to minimize the settlement compensation. "

  Danny Carter touched his chin and thought for a while, "How much?"

   "Two million dollars."

   "Do you think two million dollars is a lot?

  Many people will not be able to earn this kind of money in their lifetime. I did it with her once. In just a few minutes, I have to pay her several million...

  I can't take it. "

   "You're right, a lot of people don't make two million dollars in their lifetime, but you're not an ordinary person, you're a football star, and two million dollars is your monthly salary.

  Using a month's salary to avoid prison and save your career, I think most people know how to choose.

   What do you think? "

  Danny Carter was silent for a while, and said, "Lawyer Jarvis, I want to think about it."

   "Are you not satisfied with the compensation amount?"

  "No, it's not just about money, I don't want to bear the reputation of being a strong criminal for the rest of my life.

   What I want is innocence and justice. "

   "Comeon, you are still young now, in a few years you will know that these things are nothing at all.

  Many sports stars have encountered this situation, and it is the best choice to keep their careers through reconciliation.

  Many cases have proved that this is an iron law. "

  Danny Carter said helplessly, "Please give me some more time."

  The black female lawyer stood up, "You better hurry.

  Mr. Kroenke has run out of patience, he may call you at any time...

   You should know how much he cares about the Rams, no matter who affects the Rams ... he will not be polite. "

   Danny Carter asked, "Mr. Kroenke also wants me to reconcile?"

   "Not only Mr. Kroenke, but also the wishes of the entire Rams team, because the training of the Rams team has been affected.

   Danny, be smart. "The black female lawyer left the hotel room after saying a few words.

  Danny Carter showed an angry look and waved his arms, "Kroenke, the Rams...

  fuck!

   Whose lawyer are you? "

noon.

   Daisy and Luke have dinner together.

  Luke wanted to eat Chinese food, so he found a Chinese restaurant with a good reputation.

  After ordering, Luke opened a bottle of Wuliangye and poured himself a glass, "Do you want some?"

   "No, I still have work in the afternoon."

  Luke smiled, "Are you implying that I'm unprofessional?"

   "On the contrary, I quite envy your relaxed working attitude."

  Luke took a sip of the wine and said happily, "You can do it too."

   "I wish so, but...I can't."

   "Why do you have time to ask me to have dinner with you at noon?"

  The waiter brought a plate of dishes, Luke glanced at it, it was grilled lamb strips, took a bite, and it tasted pretty good.

   "Danny Carter called me this morning and complained for half an hour."

   "Complaining about what? Not to you, or to me?"

   "Neither, he was mostly complaining about lawyer Jarvis. They had an unpleasant conversation this morning. Lawyer Jarvis forced him to settle as soon as possible."

   "Did I hear correctly, the lawyer forced the client to reconcile?"

"Jarvis's law firm is not only serving Danny Carter, but the entire Rams. Although Danny Carter didn't say it clearly, I think Jarvis's legal fees may be borne by the Rams. of.

  So, Jarvis is more likely to consider the interests of the entire Rams. "

   Luke said, "Maybe this is why Danny Carter hired us."

   "That's right, in this case, he is more willing to trust us." Daisy pointed to another dish, "What's the name of this dish? It tastes soft and delicious."

   "Braised beef tendons with scallions, good stuff."

   "It's fine if it's not something weird." Daisy felt relieved, and clumsily picked up her chopsticks, "Is there any progress in your investigation?"

   "Yes, I found the suspicious man described by the black aunt."

   "The black man with the dreadlocks?"

   "That's right, his name is Quentin Haggs, and he and Billie Warwick's boyfriend are colleagues. Both of them work in a convenience store. I went to see him this morning, and it is indeed a bit suspicious."

   "Do you think he's a car thief?"

   "It's very likely, but I don't have enough evidence right now."

   "Then what are you going to do?"

  Actually, Luke has also been thinking about this matter. Through contact with Quentin Haggs, he feels that Quentin Haggs is very suspicious, and he is probably a car thief.

   It is definitely not possible to investigate in the way of the police in the past. Luke is now investigating in the way of a detective. The methods must be more flexible, and there is no need to pay too much attention to 'evidence'.

  Since you think Quentin Haggs is very suspicious, then verify your guess in time.

Nine p.m.

   A black Ford sedan drives into the Zates community.

  There is explosive rock music playing in the car, and the driver can be seen shaking his head in the cab.

  The car drove into a yard on the south side of the community and stopped at the garage door. A black man with dreadlocks got out of the car.

  The black man with dreadlocks looked around and found a figure outside the yard.

   "Who's there?"

   "Mr. Quentin Haggs, good evening." Luke walked from the shadow to the gate of the yard.

   "It's you, the reporter from this morning. How did you know my name?"

  Luke smiled, "I know more than just your name."

  Quentin Haggs said coldly, "What are you doing at my house?"

   "I want to ask you a few more questions."

   "Listen, the interview time is over, please leave my house, I don't want to host strangers."

   "Don't be nervous, it's just a few questions, I'll leave after asking."

   "I have no obligation to answer your questions anymore, and I hate being followed, leave my house immediately, otherwise, don't blame me for being rude to you."

   "Then what do you want? Call the police?"

  Quentin Haggs pointed at Luke, "You are right, I will sue you for harassment."

   "Then hurry up and call the police to see if the police are arresting you or arresting me?"

   "What do you mean by that?"

   "On the night of November 18th, someone took pictures of you stealing a car?"

   "Shit, you're framing me, I didn't steal the car."

   "OK, then you can call 911 and let the police take me away."

  The two looked at each other, and Quentin Haggs showed an angry look.

  Luke said lightly, "If you don't want to call 911, then let's talk about it."

  Quentin Haggs took a deep breath and said helplessly, "What exactly do you want?"

   "Where's that Porsche 911?"

"I do not know what you're talking about?"

   "I know you stole that Porsche 911, tell me where it is and we'll settle it."

   "What if I say I don't know?"

   "Then I'll call 911 and hand over the evidence I took to the police. You don't have to work in a convenience store anymore. The people of Los Angeles will take care of your food and give you a new residence.

  If you are lucky, you can even get a boyfriend. "

   "Shut up, I hate being threatened the most, do you think a few light words can scare me?" Quentin Haggs stared at Luke, "Again, I didn't steal the car.

   If you **** off now, I can pretend nothing happened.

   Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude. "

  Luke took out his phone, pointed the screen at Quentin Haggs, and pressed three numbers, 9-1-1.

   Just when Luke was about to press the dial button, Quentin Haggs shouted, "Stop!

   Do not call 911. "

   Luke asked again, "Where's the Porsche?"

  Quentin Haggs rubbed his chin with his hands, glared at Luke angrily, and said after a long silence, "In the garage."

   "Which garage?"

  Quentin Haggs pointed behind him, "This is the garage."

  Luke stood at the gate of the courtyard, "Can I go in?"

"certainly."

  The two walked to the garage door. Quentin Haggs looked at Luke again and asked, "Do you really have the video of me stealing the car?"

"certainly."

"let me see."

   "Let me see the car first."

   "I can give you the car, but you have to give me the video."

"Can."

  After hearing Luke's assurance, Quentin Haggs walked to the garage, unlocked the garage shutter lock, and pulled the shutter up.

  Quentin Haggs walked into the garage, turned on the light on the wall at the entrance of the garage, and pointed to a car covered by a car jacket, "The car is there."

  Luke walked over, ready to lift the coat.

  Suddenly, he felt a gust of wind behind him.

  Luke didn't fully believe in Quentin Haggs. After entering the garage, he was careful and kept staring at Quentin Haggs out of the corner of his eye.

  I saw Quentin Haggs picked up a baseball bat from the corner of the garage and smashed it at the back of Luke's head.

  Luke was agile, and quickly dodged sideways, narrowly dodging the attack of the baseball bat.

  Missing a hit, Quentin Haggs swung his baseball bat again and swept towards Luke's body.

  An inch is long and an inch is strong.

  Luke has a strong fighting ability. If the opponent has no weapons and is at such a short distance, Luke will choose to subdue the opponent directly.

   But the opponent has a baseball bat, and it is not easy for him to get close to the opponent, and he may have to be hit by a stick.

  Luke quickly took a few steps back, quickly pulled out his pistol, "Don't move! Otherwise I'll shoot!"

   "Fuck!" Quentin Haggs was a little depressed. He didn't expect Luke to be so vigilant, and he failed to make a sneak attack.

   "I don't believe you dare to shoot."

   "Then you can try." Luke aimed at his chest.

  Seeing that Luke's posture doesn't look like a lie, Quentin Haggs softened his tone, "Dude, there's no need for this, killing me won't do you any good.

  We have no conflicts, what do you think? "

   Luke ordered, "Put the baseball bat on the ground."

  Quentin Haggs hesitated for a moment, but when he saw the black muzzle of the gun, he compromised and put the baseball bat on the ground as Luke ordered.

   "Very well, turn around and lie on the car."

  Quentin Haggs showed a worried look, "What exactly do you want?"

   "Search and make sure you have no other weapons."

  Quentin Haggs took a deep breath, turned around as Luke ordered, and put his hands on the frame.

   Luke walked up behind him, his right arm quickly strangled the opponent's throat, and tightened it tightly.

  Quentin Haggs was attacked, instinctively wanted to resist, and grabbed Luke's right arm with his hand.

   But Luke was faster, his right hand clenched the joint of his left arm, and his left arm pressed hard against the back of his opponent's head.

   This is a standard jiu jitsu move - naked twist.

   is also one of the nirvana commonly used in jujitsu.

  Since learning Jiujiu, Luke has been practicing against Natasha. Although he has also defeated Natasha, the two of them just hit each other and never killed each other.

  Luke has learned the moves of jiu-jitsu, but never really 'practiced' it.

  This **** actually dared to sneak up on him without knowing his life or death. Luke could just use him to 'practice' and truly feel the power of Jiu-Jitsu.

  Quentin Haggs was terrified, struggling desperately, clasping Luke's arm tightly with both hands, trying to break Luke's arm apart, to gain a chance to breathe and break free.

   At this time, Luke had already completed the gesture of the naked twist, and Quentin Haggs' struggle was futile for him.

  He has also been paying attention to the state of Quentin Haggs.

  Luke will not kill people, he just wants to try the power and feeling of the naked choke, which will help in future actual combat.

  Luke didn't use his full strength at the beginning, leaving a gap for Quentin Haggs to breathe. Although Quentin Haggs had been struggling, he still couldn't get rid of the naked choke position.

  After feeling it for a while, Luke has a deeper understanding of the naked choke position. Once this position is completed, the locked person has almost no chance of breaking free.

  Luke increased his strength and didn't hold back his hands.

  Quentin Haggs struggled harder and harder, his black face was almost contorted, and the strength of his struggle became smaller and smaller.

   Then his body softened, and he was paralyzed.

   Luke released his neck, checked his health, and breathing, just passed out.

  Luke fully experienced the feeling of a naked choke, which was different from the feeling during training. This time, it was a real effort to subdue and strangle the opponent.

  This kind of actual combat experience is very precious.

   Luke walked to the door of the garage and looked around. It was difficult to see the scene in the garage because a car was blocked in front of the garage.

   Luke observed for a while, saw no suspicious person, and closed the garage door.

  The night is still long, and he still has a lot to do...

   Ask for a monthly pass, ask for a monthly pass!
