Sonia had a strange expression on her face. She seemed to be on the verge of laughing, but she managed to hold it in. "Fine, that wasn't accurate. In fact, the shortest 'limb' isn't broken. It's just a few times swollen. "
Luke couldn't help but scratch his head. "So ruthless?"
Sonia finally chuckled. "That's because these guys encountered this' vigilante 'when they were trying to rape women. Then, the vigilante kicked them in the groin from behind and broke their limbs."
Luke smiled bitterly in his heart, but his expression didn't change much. "To be honest, that's what I wanted to do too. Do you have any leads on this vigilante?"
Sonia shook her head. "Not yet. All the hooligans who were injured were hooligans who liked to fight in the first place. There's no evidence that they were injured by the same person. Also, as you know, the DA and the judge have been urging us to lower our efficiency and the number of cases we file … "
Luke smacked his lips. "Fine, let's pretend that this vigilante doesn't exist. What's the other thing? "
Sonia asked, "Did you hear the news yesterday? The bodies of three gangsters were hung on the ferris wheel at the amusement park on the east side. "
Luke nodded. "I did. Does it have anything to do with this vigilante?"
Sonia shook her head. "It's nothing. It's just that the DA and the judge are probably even busier now."
Luke raised an eyebrow. "A lot of people died? Or a lot of people were arrested? "
Sonia said, "This morning, a lawyer, a DA, and a recently retired criminal court judge were all killed yesterday."
Luke frowned. "Revenge?"
Sonia nodded. "The lawyer was found drowned in his own pool. The DA's entire house was set on fire, including himself. The retired judge's house was blown up. His body parts weren't even enough to fill an evidence bag. "
Luke drummed his fingers on the table.
This method was simply too cruel.
The last judge's death, in particular, was definitely a result of a deep grudge.
Burning down a house, on the other hand, was a common tactic used by gangs to destroy a crime scene.
Sonia could not help looking around for a moment. She pulled her chair closer and said in a low voice, "It is said that the three victims are related to a case five years ago, and the only survivor of that case has returned."
Luke sighed. "After all this time, you're here to slap my face, aren't you?"
Sonia was stunned. "What?"
Luke spread his hands. "You're talking about vigilantes helping to beat up hooligans, or victims taking revenge on corrupt people. It seems like legal workers like us are the villains."
Sonya's lips moved, but she found herself speechless.
Now that he thought about it, it was true.
She stood up in annoyance, grabbed the two bags of lunch, and left. "This is Ameree! This is our world! What can I do? "
Luke, however, chuckled and said with a smile when she turned her head, "Thank you for the info."
Sonia kept a straight face for a moment, but she couldn't help but laugh. She raised the paper bag in her hand. "Didn't you pay for the information? Let's go. "
Watching Sonia leave, Luke pondered the first of the two pieces of information.
The second case would undoubtedly be a major one in Los Angeles, but it happened on the east side, not in his jurisdiction.
More importantly, the lawyer-district attorney and judge connection was likely related to a corrupt case. He really had no interest in helping someone who had lost their bottom line.
As for the first piece of information …
Luke narrowed his eyes and looked at the time.
It was already twenty past nine, and Luke still hadn't arrived.
But even if Luke did arrive, he wouldn't be questioned in the police department, so he wasn't in a hurry at all.
At that moment, another number called.
He looked at it, but didn't recognize the number at all.
After the call was picked up, he asked casually, "Who are you looking for?"
There was a hoarse and dry voice on the other end. "It's me, Tony Stark. Where did you get the stuff you delivered yesterday? "
Luke subconsciously straightened in his chair and smiled. "Do you think it's appropriate to talk about it over the phone?"
After a brief silence, the other end said, "I'll send a car to pick you up at ten."
Luke said, "Okay, I'm at the police department."
Luke hung up.
Rubbing his chin, Luke chuckled. Repaying a favor was the hardest part.
He was pondering how he should communicate with a certain tycoon later, when his phone rang again.
He picked up his phone again, only to see that it was another number he didn't recognize, and it was from South America.
Luke picked it up again. "Who are you looking for?"
"Luke?" A female voice rang out.
Luke's mind raced. "If you're talking about the Luke who" bought you a drink, "that's me."
After a brief silence, the other end said, "Fine. Actually, guarana and raspberry juice aren't bad."
Luke was amused. "What's up?"
The caller was Rebecca.
He didn't think that she would call him for no reason.
She was probably still being hunted by the Fraternity, and he had to avoid contacting anyone.
A moment later, he hung up again with a strange expression. "Seriously? I'm going to get involved in this too? "
Taking out a chocolate lollipop, he slowly peeled off the wrapper and popped it in his mouth. His mind, however, was racing as he considered the information he had just received on the phone and calculated how much he could benefit from it.
Helping was one thing, but how much he could benefit from it was another.
Luke, who never complained about having too much experience and credit points, was already quite experienced when it came to saving money. He had to maintain this good habit.
At that moment, there were footsteps, and someone was rummaging through the food box on the table.
Without looking up, Luke simply asked, "Didn't you have breakfast?"
"You'll have to ask Elizabeth," said Selina.
Luke turned his head. "So, you didn't eat either?"
Elizabeth smiled awkwardly as she held the paper bag that Selina had just given her. "No."
Selina ate a crab sandwich and gave one to Dollar, who was waiting anxiously next to her. "There's nothing in her fridge except a few bottles of soda. There's not even a slice of cheese."
Elizabeth was a little embarrassed, but there was nothing to be embarrassed about.
Both of them were too familiar with each other.
Luke said, "She lives alone. She usually works overtime or gets up early. Isn't it normal that she doesn't have anything to eat at home?"
Selina thought for a moment and agreed.
It was definitely rare for Americans to hoard ingredients as much as Luke did.
Of course, there were also a few people like Elizabeth who didn't prepare any ready-made food.
Elizabeth quickly ran off with the crab sandwich.
She felt that she needed to study more when it came to cooking. At this stage, she wasn't qualified to participate in such a high-level discussion about cooking.
