Chapter 15 Ask for advice

  Luke After some thought, he agreed to Daisy's invitation.

  The two meet at 7pm on Sunday night.

  ...

  Silver Tower Restaurant.

  This is a famous French restaurant in Los Angeles.

  In China, Luke has also eaten Western food, but it is an improvised version of Western food. This is the first time that he actually at an authentic French food.

  The restaurant is located on Rodeo Avenue near Beverly Hills, which is a shopping mall in Los Angeles. Tall palm trees are planted on both sides of the road and in the middle of the green belt. The buildings by the road are usually only two stories high, three or four stories high. There are few buildings.

  Luke is used to seeing high-rise buildings in China. Facing these low-rise buildings is a little novel. The environment here is very unique and comfortable.

  Los Angeles is one of the most prosperous cities in the world and one of the cities with the largest gap between the rich and the poor.

  Luke arrived at the Silver Tower restaurant at 6:45.

  The restaurant is located on the platform on the second floor, from which you can enjoy the night view of Rodeo Avenue. Luke can't afford the luxury here, so it was his first time actually being here.

  At 6:53, a beautiful woman with long brown hair walked to the second floor of the restaurant, wearing a long black dress inside and a khaki coat outside.

  It was Daisy who was rescued by Luke on Thursday night.

  "Officer Luke, I've kept you waiting for a long time."

  "It's not even the appointed time, beside I've just gotten here."

  Daisy took off her khaki coat and put it on the seat next to her, showing her graceful figure and sat opposite of Luke. , "I'm sorry, I should have come earlier, it's just something happened at the company, wich delayed me."

  "You have just been robbed, why don't you take a few days off?"

  "I think so too, but there are many things that I need to deal with, and at our line of work the customer is God ."

  "What kind of work do you do?"

  "Lawyer."

  "Wow, you make alot of money then."

  "The price is to work more than twelve hours a day, plus commute time, I tend to be busy for about fourteen hours a day. At this trend it seems that I'm going to marry this profession." Daisy sighed and handed Luke the menu.

  "Let's change to a lighter topic, such as today's dinner."

  Luke took the menu and flipped through it. After a while, he ordered a few dishes that looked good, French white wine snails, fried scallops with foie gras, red wine black pepper steak, seafood risotto, and asparagus soup.

  Although there are a lot of samples, but looking at the small amount of food, Luke can finish it all by himself.

  Daisy added a few more dishes, a bottle of red wine, and handed the menu to the waiter.

  Luke made a rough calculation, and the meal would not be less than six hundred dollars.

  The waiter came over with a bottle of red wine, opened the lid in front of the two of them, and poured it into the decanter. "Ma'am, sir, do you need to sober up?"

  Service Sheng poured half a glass of red wine for each of them, then bowed and left.

  Daisy picked up the glass, "Officer Luke, thank you for saving me, it may be a small thing for you, but for me... it's a was a life saving grace."

  "I just did what I was supposed to do, don't mention it after drinking this glass of wine, otherwise the atmosphere of this dinner will be very awkward." Luke picked up the glass and took a sip of red wine.

  "You're right, however I'll always be indepted to you, If you ever have any legal questions in the future, you can contact me at any time."

  "I will."

  Daisy raised her glass again, "except for the incident at the time, I also want to thank you for the tire accident. I thought you were hitting on me that day... So my attitude was a little rude, I hope you don't mind."

  "Actually... I also want to thank you for the tire accident."

  Daisy wondered, "Why?"

  Luke laughed, "because I really wanted to hit on you that day. If it wasn't for your tire I would have being the one embarrassed."

  "Haha..." Daisy laughed too. "I accept your thanks on behalf of my car tires."

  The atmosphere at the table lightened.

  It was Luke's first authentic French food and it tasted good.

  Luke's favorite was the red wine and the black pepper steak. The meat was tender and juicy, with great texture and taste.

  The second best was the seafood risotto, the whole shrimp and squid both had a very rich taste.

  Drinking red wine, eating delicious food, admiring the night view of Los Angeles, and feeling the relaxed and free atmosphere around, it was great night.

  Daisy drank a lot of red wine, and her cheeks were slightly red, "Officer Luke, I have encountered some bad things again. I'm not sure if I should go to the police station to report the case again. I want to hear your advice."

  "Go ahead and ask, by the way, Just Luke is fine."

  "Uh...I went to the law firm this morning and found that the documents in my office had been flipped over."

  "Could it be your colleague who did it?"

  "I asked, and no one has entered my office. "

  "Have you lost anything?"

  "No, that's where I'm confused. Although it was indeed flipped, nothing was lost."

  "Any valuables in the office?"

  "I have a thousand dollars in spare cash, and two pieces of jewelry, none of which were stolen."

  "Is there any signs of damage to the door lock?"

  "No."

  "Could it be that you misremembered the file location?"

  "Impossible, I usually have to deal with a lot of documents, and in order to find the right document the fastest way possible, I always arrange them in an analphabetique order, but this time the order has been disrupted, and some outsiders must have touched my documents."

  "Do you have any suspects?"

  Daisy shook her head, "It is precisely because there are no suspects that I hesitated to call the police. From a legal point of view, even if you report a case, it is difficult to file a case with no valuables lost, and even then the police may feel that I was terrified by the robbery, and that everything is just my imagination."

  Luke confirmed it, as right as he was listening to her he subconsciously thought that Daisy was terrified by the robbery, which led to nervousness.

  But thinking about the two eating and chatting together, Daisy's mood is relatively stable, and he feels that she has no mental problems.

  That said, someone may have indeed been to Daisy's office.

  Assuming that what Daisy said was true, she was just robbed on Thursday, and her office was broken into just two days after, wouldn't it be a bit too coincidental.

  More importantly, the cash she put in the office has not been lost, which shows that the thief is not interested in ordinary property. What is the purpose of the other party?

  business competition?

  Luke guessed, "Daisy, is there any possibility that your colleagues or competitors know that you were robbed, and they want to pry over your clients and cases, thinking that you will not be coming to the law firm for a short time.

Daisy thought for a while, then frowned, "I have a good relationship with my colleagues, but... the competition in the law firm is fierce, so this situation cannot be ruled out."

  "Is there any monitoring in your office?"

  "No there isn't, I'm not used to being watched by cameras at work, but there is one in the corridor outside my office."

  "Then check the surveillance and prove that someone has broken into your office illegally, so that the police can intervene in the investigation. Otherwise, it will be very difficult for tge police to intervene if there are no property damage.wich make it even more difficult to file a case for investigation."

  Daisy raised her glass, "I understand, thank you again for your help."

  Luke took a sip of the red wine, he had already drank a lot tonight.

  In fact, as a lawyer, Daisy should know how to deal with this kind of thing, all she needs is moral support.

  Or she just wanted to find someone to talk to about it.

  From this point of view, the robbery still had a certain impact on her.
