Wolf gestured at the two security guards behind him, who covered Dylan's mouth and dragged him out.
After Dylan disappeared from the room, he looked at Luke. "Who are you?"
Luke smiled. "I'm just a minor detective. Don't worry about me, Mr. Elsworth."
Narrowing his eyes, Wolf nodded slowly. "Fine, let's get to know each other when we have the chance." He then walked out.
After walking for a while, he said to Alan, "Get in touch with this detective and see what he's trying to do with those things."
Alan nodded silently.
He couldn't earn a lot of money without doing dirty work. If you wanted to make a fortune as a lawyer, you couldn't be a clean man.
On the other side, Luke watched as Wolf waited for the paperwork to be processed. He slapped Dylan in the face and whispered something to him. Wolf grabbed the tycoon's arm again, and they walked out of the police department just like that.
Squinting at the back of the uncle and nephew for a moment, he suddenly asked Selina, "Don't you think that uncle and nephew … are quite similar?"
Selina subconsciously nodded. "That's right. Temperament, appearance, face shape, height, style … Wait! You're not going to say … "
He raised his hand to stop her from saying anything. He turned back to the table and subconsciously hummed a song from his previous life. "… Different from anything else, you're the green light, the only one …"
Dustin definitely had eyes in the office. He had called the uncle and nephew as soon as they left.
Luke and Selina entered his office and stood there obediently after they closed the door.
Dustin, on the other hand, simply said, "That's enough. Stop focusing on this case. Don't you have other cases on hand? "
Luke nodded. "Got it, boss."
Pondering for a moment, Dustin said, "Keep an eye on that lawyer, Allen Shaw. He's got some nasty tricks up his sleeve."
Luke was puzzled.
Dustin didn't have any scruples about the young lawyer's background. He said, "He often uses illegal means to achieve his goals, such as framing people and making groundless rumors. Those are his usual methods. But as long as he's compromised, he'll stop and clean up the mess. So, nobody wants to fall out with him. "
Luke got the gist of it and nodded. "Got it. Then let's investigate other cases first. "
Dustin nodded and went back to work.
The two of them went to Elsa's place to say goodbye before driving out.
At noon, Luke and Selina calmly had lunch, before they drove to the suburbs.
This was the case that Elsa had thrown at them before. The two of them had finished their act against the Elsworth Family and continued working on the case as usual.
Selina flipped through the file in the car and said casually, "This happened the day before yesterday. According to one driver, someone tried to rob his tanker. "
Luke hummed in response.
Selina added, "However, this driver's oil tanker isn't registered. Clearly, the oil he's hauling isn't clean."
Luke complained casually, "Robbing a tanker? Are they crazy? How much oil can it have? "
Selina flipped through it. "The driver didn't say, but according to the preliminary investigation report, it's a semi-trailer tank truck that can haul forty to fifty tons."
"That's really a lot of money!" Luke curled his lip.
Compared with cash, it was too easy to track down a batch of refined oil and a tanker truck.
Also, there was only a little more than ten thousand gallons of gasoline, which was worth twenty to thirty thousand dollars at most in America.
If it was stolen goods, the price would be lowered, and the harvest would be even smaller.
As they talked, they reached their destination, which was a high slope.
They got out of the car and looked at the long sloping road. There was an overturned tanker truck on the side of the road.
"This robbery must've been very intense." Selina sighed.
Luke nodded, and they walked down.
On the way, they saw parts of the tanker flying out from time to time, and there were obvious burn marks in some places.
Thankfully, this was a barren mountain with nothing but mud and rocks, or there might've been a wildfire.
They walked to the side of the tanker and looked around it.
Luke finally said, "This is a forty-ton tanker. It's blown up now. The robbers worked for nothing."
Selina replied casually, "Maybe they were here for the thrill? Otherwise, they could've stolen a few luxury cars and sold them for more than that. "
Luke looked around and said, "The view here is actually pretty good. Why don't we sunbathe at the top of the mountain later? We didn't sunbathe at the beach yesterday. How about we sunbathe at the top of the mountain instead? "
Selina was stumped for a moment, before she smiled.
She had her own judgment on whether Luke had been putting on an act yesterday, or if he had done it because of Jimena.
But since he was willing to make it up to her today, she would forgive him.
She turned around and looked at the ridge behind her, which did indeed look quite sunny.
They weren't too concerned about the robbery. No one died, and only a tanker had been burned. That wasn't a big deal in Los Angeles.
As they walked back, Selina looked for a suitable spot to sunbathe.
Suddenly, two black SUVs drove over.
Luke was stumped for a moment, before he smiled. "Daze? Model Mu Jiabao? Send Job's Tears? Fresh and handsome?
The black SUV stopped next to them. The passenger door opened, and a beautiful woman with a long ponytail got out. "Hi, Luke, Selina."
Luke and Selina nodded with a smile. "Hi, Palmer." It was none other than Palmer, a beautiful agent from the DEA.
She gestured at them, and the three of them walked to a shady spot on the side. Then, she asked in a low voice, "Are you here to investigate the tanker robbery?"
Luke nodded. "It's a robbery, and there was an explosion and a fire. We had to come and take a look at it."
Palmer hesitated for a moment. "Then, do you have any leads?"
Luke shook his head. "No, we just got here. We didn't even look carefully."
Looking at Palmer's expression, he smiled. "If you have something to say, just say it. We know each other, don't we?"
Palmer smiled awkwardly. "This case is connected to a lead we're keeping an eye on."
Looking at Luke and Selina's expressions, she nodded helplessly. "Fine, it's actually the creator's lead. We suspect that the guy is looking for someone to help him smuggle goods in from Mexico. So … "
Luke thought for a moment. "You're afraid that we'll alert the creator if we find any leads?"
Palmer smiled dryly and didn't reply, but it was clear that she agreed.
She, on the other hand, mumbled inwardly, Given your skills, those people would've been killed in minutes if they ran into you, and the creator's lead wouldn't have been completely wiped out.
