Luke smiled. "I'm sure you'll be able to find more clues, Haley."
Haley looked at him. "That depends on whether Molly's parents are willing to let her receive my treatment."
In other words, it wasn't that she wasn't capable, but that she needed time to show what she was capable of.
Luke nodded and looked at Christina. "Let me know when her parents arrive. I'll see if I can get Molly to stay longer or receive treatment here."
Christina nodded. "Okay."
Regarding this matter, everyone had some confidence in it.
After all, Metropolitan General Hospital was one of the best hospitals in New York. There weren't many hospitals in Massachusetts that could compare to it.
As long as there wasn't any financial pressure, staying in New York for treatment was more suitable than returning to Massachusetts.
At this point, everybody dispersed.
No matter how pitiful Molly was, they had to continue their work. They couldn't stay here to watch over her.
After leaving the hospital, Luke drove home.
Selina fiddled with the tablet in the passenger seat for a while, then suddenly said, "Got it."
Luke asked, "Who is it?"
"Jessica Jones, 24 years old. She has no criminal record. She has a registered private investigation firm under her name," said Selina. "But this lady doesn't have a good temper. In the past two years, she's had fifteen disputes with people. Most of them accused her of using violence and threatening people, as well as a few complaints of trespassing. "
Luke didn't think much of it. "It's normal for a private investigator to use violence or sneak into a target's house. But she does have a bad temper. Shouldn't there be more complaints about trespassing for a normal private investigator? If she likes to hit people so much, why didn't those people sue her? "
"Hogarth Benowitz took care of these minor problems for her," said Selina as she looked at the information on the tablet. Selina looked at the information on the tablet and said, "This firm is a famous law firm in New York. It's very powerful."
Luke thought for a moment and said, "Check if any of the cases this law firm has taken on involve people who were beaten up by Miss Jones."
Selina tapped a few times and exclaimed, "You're so smart. The database shows that at least three people have been involved in lawsuits with clients from this law firm. "
Luke shrugged. "So, this Miss Jones is both a private detective and an investigator for this firm. She's probably an ace investigator. After all, she's very good at fighting."
Selina didn't care about that at all. She was also very good at beating people up, and it was safer than Jessica's. She wasn't envious at all.
She only said, "Based on this Jessica's resume, she shouldn't have any problems. Molly isn't the target of the law firm's investigation."
Luke hummed in response.
It was better to be prepared than to let someone with ulterior motives steal his information.
Molly's matter wasn't that simple either. It was never too much to be careful.
They drove home and took Gold Nugget with them to find a place to eat lunch.
After a few turns, Luke arrived at a barbecue restaurant.
Looking at the shop that was almost the same as a year ago, he sighed.
Gold Nugget, on the other hand, wasn't nostalgic at all. It was its first time in New York, but it wasn't the first time it had eaten barbecued meat.
It loved this oily, meaty, and sweet food, and was already whimpering at Luke to hurry up and buy it.
Luke walked into the shop and greeted the boss. He drew a circle with his finger and said, "Takeaway."
The boss already didn't remember him. He simply asked casually, "Which one do you want?"
Luke said, "Three whole servings of each type, and double the number of roast pig and barbecued pork. Cut a small portion of each of the barbecued pork and suckling pig, and pack it up separately. "
The boss was stunned. "Are you sure it's whole?"
It wasn't unusual for there to be three small servings of each type, but if it was only three whole servings, he would lose half of the barbecued meat.
Luke said with a smile, "That's right. I ate it for you a year ago. It was very delicious. You even gave me a roast goose head as a gift. "
The boss looked at him again and vaguely remembered him. He smiled. "What are you doing? Treating us?"
Luke shrugged. "More or less. There's no need to cut it up. Just pack it up for me. "
It would take the boss at least half an hour to chop up so much barbecued meat.
Luke and Selina had hands, and Gold Nugget wouldn't even spit out the bones. It was better to save time.
A moment later, the two of them and the dog went to Central Park with a few big bags of barbecued meat.
The weather was still gloomy today, and there were fewer people in the park.
The two of them and the dog found the corner from last time and had lunch.
Selina and Gold Nugget launched a crazy attack on the barbecued pork and suckling pig, while Luke unhurriedly enjoyed the white chicken.
"In the afternoon, um … where are we going?" Selina asked while chewing.
Luke said, "Go to the 15th Precinct and pick up Louis Paul. We need to figure out how Molly ended up in his house."
Louis Paul was the tenant who had discovered Molly's apartment. He had been slapped in the face by Luke for attempting to assault a police officer yesterday, before he was handed over to the 15th Precinct.
At that time, Luke had thought that Molly was Louis' girlfriend.
But judging from Molly's appearance, he could only suspect that Louis had kidnapped her.
What happened to Molly today vaguely proved that Louis might just be a scapegoat.
Until they had concrete clues about "him," Louis at least knew how Molly had ended up in his house.
Luke also didn't regret handing Louis over to the 15th Precinct yesterday.
It wasn't uncommon for a suspect's girlfriend to be in the house when he was arresting them. He couldn't investigate carefully every time.
He had dealt with hundreds of these small fries in Los Angeles, and he would do the same in the future.
After lunch, the two of them and the dog got back into the car.
Gold Nugget wasn't done yet, and was still drooling over the remaining two bags of barbecued meat.
Luke simply said, "That's supper for tonight," and the dog happily lay down and went about its daily afternoon nap.
Selina also closed her eyes to rest.
An hour later, Luke got Louis out of the 15th Precinct and threw him into the backseat of the car.
Gold Nugget opened its sleepy eyes and moved its special cushion in disgust as it tried to stay as far away from the smelly guy as it made threatening sounds.
Selina also opened her eyes and sized up Louis in the rearview mirror. "What's wrong with him? You only smashed his door yesterday, didn't you? "
Luke said, "He bragged like an idiot to those scumbags in the detention center, and got beaten up … Hm, fine, maybe several times."
Hearing the words in front of him, Louis lowered his head in shame.
The two cops from the 15th Precinct were too sneaky. When they threw him into the detention center, they deliberately accused him of assaulting a police officer.
The thugs in the detention center thought that a super tough guy had arrived, and were very careful around him.
