Flegg and four of his men were escorting George and Crystal into a special prison van.
Hearing Luke's voice, he turned around and smiled. "I have to thank you for catching them, Detective Luke."
Luke shrugged. "It's my job. Alright, I won't keep you any longer. "
Flegg, however, stopped him. "Detective Flegg, wait."
Luke stopped and looked at him, waiting for him to continue.
Pondering for a moment, Flegg said, "If you run into people like George and Crystal in the future, you can let me know directly. You understand?"
Luke chuckled. "Sure."
Looking at his smile, Flegg couldn't help but probe, "They said that they were caught by a man named Wade. Are you familiar with him?"
Luke shook his head. "I'm not familiar with him. He's very familiar with money."
Flegg was stunned. "Money?"
Luke said, "Cash, cash, that's all he recognizes."
Lost for a moment, Flegg nodded with a smile. "Fine, that's true. I won't bother you any longer. Goodbye. "
Watching Luke and Selina leave, Flegg got into another SUV. His subordinate who was driving couldn't help but say, "Captain, this young man is really good. Let's poach him."
Flegg sighed. "You think I don't want to? It's too troublesome. "
As his subordinate followed the prison van in front of him, he asked curiously, "Seriously? Is it hard for us to poach someone from the police department? Unless he turns us down. "
Flegg said, "He's the best detective in Westside, and even in LAPD. Nobody in Westside is willing to let him go. Secondly, he's very rich. I checked his files before, and he has millions of dollars in assets. In the end, he and his partner were transferred to LAPD through Pepper Potts of Stark Industries. You know who she is, right? "
His subordinate was surprised. "Tony Stark's personal secretary? Luke works for Stark! "
Flegg nodded with a bitter smile. "Do you know why I didn't transfer him? Actually, it's not just us. Many other departments have tried to recruit him, including the FBI and CIA, and even Wales. But it won't be so easy to poach someone from Stark's personal secretary. "
The underling didn't say anything.
Stark Industries might not be the richest in America, but it had deep connections in the government, the military, and the Department of Defense.
Nobody wanted to get on Stark's bad side for a mere detective. When that guy flipped out, he wouldn't give face to anyone.
He pointed at the other party's nose and called him a stupid pig, which was already being very 'polite'.
Most of the time, a certain young master would only look down on the other party with a gaze of concern for the mentally handicapped.
It was easy for the other party to feel that they were mentally retarded because of their lack of intelligence.
After all, Stark was a super genius! Who asked him to be super rich?
Luke went to Elsa after he entered the Major Crimes Division. "Boss, you know that the FBI took away the two suspects who tried to kidnap Tony Stark, right?"
Elsa nodded. "Yes, they told me about it."
Luke chuckled. "Aren't you afraid that the young master will flip out?"
Elsa chuckled. "The FBI talked to Stark Industries first before they brought him here. Do you understand?"
Luke shrugged. "That's fine. I'm going out."
Elsa said, "Wait."
When Luke stopped, she said, "The boss said that you did a good job on this case, so he's giving you a new mission."
Luke waited in silence.
Elsa didn't have time to chit-chat with him. "You know that the Stark Industries Fair is going to be held soon, right?"
Luke nodded. "Yes. It's going to officially open in two days."
Elsa said, "So, you and Selina have been temporarily transferred to plainclothes security around the fair."
Luke's face dropped. "Is this a punishment?"
He had been on such a security mission in Houston before, thanks to Brock, who had made things difficult for him. It just so happened that Stark had something to do with it as well.
It was a typical thankless job, and he had to take responsibility if something went wrong, so it was only right that he did a good job.
More importantly, the mission required him to stay at the fair all the time, and he couldn't slack off, but he wouldn't necessarily get a lot of experience and credit points.
Elsa said, "Do you think I want to? The boss doesn't want to either, but Director Brad has spoken. What do you think I should do? "
Luke put his hand to his forehead. "The big boss is personally involved in such a trivial matter?"
Elsa said, "He didn't want to, but when the FBI came to take George and Christopher away, they took the procedure from him."
Luke thought for a moment and got it.
Why did Brad do this? That was because the police and Stark Industries' internal security would always have a lot of minor problems during the exhibition.
In fact, few things happened at the Stark Industries Fair, but there were too many problems that needed to be solved.
Director Brad probably remembered that two of the detectives were close to Stark, so he simply sent them to deal with this troublesome task.
Luke had nothing to say about the mission.
Was he supposed to tell Director Brad that he really didn't know Stark well?
He and Selina could only accept the new mission, and go directly to the fair to inspect the environment.
Stark's exhibition was a daily event that was held every three to five years, usually between March and June of a year. Its purpose was to showcase the new products that had been developed so that customers could buy them and kill more people.
Stark Industries' main business was firearms, and its main products were high-value-added weapons such as missiles.
Other firearms and ordinary heavy weapons were relatively rare, but they were not completely non-existent. Occasionally, the introduction of the concept of individual weapons would also attract a large number of military enthusiasts to watch the fun.
That was also the reason why law and order in Los Angeles had been deteriorating recently.
Every time this happened, LAPD would transfer police officers from various police departments to help the eastside police department maintain law and order.
The people who really bought missiles didn't have much time or opportunity to cause trouble on the streets.
On the other hand, the firearms enthusiasts were of all trades and professions. There were plenty of black and gray talents. They were the main force behind the deterioration of public security in Los Angeles.
For example, George and Crystal had originally come to the exhibition, but because of an anonymous hire, Crystal was instigated by George to form a temporary team to kidnap Stark.
What was even weirder was that they didn't kidnap Stark for ransom, nor did they plan to kill the playboy. They simply wanted to imprison him for ten days and release him after the fair was over.
Luke wasn't surprised at all by such a strange kidnapping request.
Oftentimes, when the backbone of a large corporation went missing, they might miss out on a major event, and other competitors would benefit from it.
In any case, it was just a cheap and risk-free experiment on two brainless idiots. Many people didn't mind doing it.
