Chapter 17 Naloxone

  William said, "I don't know the exact reason. Everyone has their own secrets, even among friends, If you ask about the other person's privacy, you may not be able to keep being friends."

  Luke asked, " From what you know about Tony, where can he go?"

  "I don't know. He's an adult and he doesn't tell me everything."

  "Has he been missing this long before?"

  "A few times before, yes, but he always cames back on his own. Actually, this is nothing. For people like us, without a family, without a job, we are often tired of staying in one place for a long time, so it's normal to change places from time to time."

  "Does Tony have any contact with his family?"

  " I don't know, at least I haven't seen any before. But there is this one time when we had a drink together, he mentioned his wife and children, and I could tell from his expression that he still misses them."

  "Tony was married?" Luke frowned slightly, according to the data. Tony is single, with parents and an older brother in the family.

  "I don't know, I only know that he lived with that woman for a while."

  "What's that woman's name?"

  "I didn't ask."

  "How old is the child, boy or girl?"

  William spread his hands, "come on, We were just chatting that day, and I also drank a lot. I have no family neither kids, I'm not interested in this kind of topic."

"Who else knows Tony?"

  "Tony is more of a withdrawn person, he doesn't take the initiative to talk to other people, he occasionally chats with the homeless people nearby, but those homeless people definitely don't know as much as I..." William recalled for a while,

  "By the way, I remembered something. Tony knows a rich man. I saw him go to Tony's house multiple times."

  "How do you know that the other person is rich?"

  "He drives a white BMW X5 and wears a decent suit. It's hard for you to meet such a person in this kind of neighborhood."

  "How many times have Tony met this person?"

  "I can't remember the exact number of times, but at least four or five times."

  "How often does he visits Tony?"

  "I can't remember, because the span is a bit long, on average, it's about once a year."

  "When was the last time that you've seen him?"

  "Maybe... around Christmas last year? Can't remember exactly."

  "Describe the features of the rich man."

  "I only saw him from a distance, so I couldn't see his features clearly. I only known that he is white, male, medium stature, and Tony never talks about this person."

  "Does Tony have any special fetishes?"

  "No, he's very interested in women."

  "Does Tony have a gun? "

  "Not as far as I know."

  "Did Tony ever mention his home state of Nevada?"

  "His hometown is Nevada? I didn't know at all, he never mentioned it, and I thought he was a local from his accent."

  "How's Tony doing financially?"

  "He's doing fine, at least much better than me. He's on a welfare, living in a comfortable house, and occasionally ordering takeout. At least I haven't seen him worrying about money."

  Luke asked, "Is that little relief enough for him to buy some unique products?"

  "Then I don't know. He may have other sources of income. This is private. He won't say it, and I won't ask." William Put on an expression that you know.

  "Thank you for helping us with the investigating." Luke handed him a business card, "If you ever think of any clues, you can contact me at any time."

  William took the business card and pointed to the blue tent, "Can I go back to sleep?"

  Luke took out another twenty dollars and handed it to him, "Buy yourself something to eat."

  "Thanks, can I buy beer? I haven't had a drink since Tony disappeared."

  "You can."

  Luke turned to leave, the money had been given, he doesn't really care whether the other party used it to buy burgers or beer.

  Back in the car, Luke asked David who was beside him, "What do you think?"

  David thought for a while, "Yesterday when you took a break, we checked Tony's past call records, and he hasn't contact any of his relatives in Nevada for nearly 20 years. Coupled with William's description today, Tony's attitude towards his family is even more abnormal."

  Luke said, "Tony hates the police and doesn't contact his relatives in his hometown, will it be because of something he did in Nevada, which makes him not dare to go back, let alone contact his relatives."

  "There is a possibility, but if that is the case, it has been 20 years since the supposed incident happened in another state, and it is not easy to find out." After David finished speaking, the phone rang.

  "Om..."

  David opened the text message and read, "It's Lindsay's address, I'm going there."

  "What do you want to do? If you meet that man again, will you beat him up, or just blow his head of? "

  "I did think about beating up that bastard, but as a result he might get mad at Lindsay and makes her situation worsen, so I... just want to help her."

  Luke was a little disbelieving, "And how exactly do you plan to help?"

  David opened the car armrest and took out a few white pill boxes. "Naloxone."

  Luke has an impression of this drug, it's a unique product Receptor antagonist, when injected into the human body it can quickly relieve the toxic effect of the unique product on the central nervous system, and can save the life of the overdose in time. It is a safe, reliable, low-cost emergency medicine without any side effects.

  "What you think you are doing is helping her, but what you are actually doing is encouraging her to take drugs. You should be helping her detox instead of preparing for an overdose."

  "You think I don't want to? You think I haven't tried it? I've tried all the methods, and it's not as easy as I thought.

  Do you know how many people die every year because of overdose? I'm saving her life."

  "OK, do as like, let's just make it fast, I'm hungry." Luke waved his hand, it was a matter between David and his wife after all, and he didn't want to interfere too much.

  David shook his head and started the car, "Is it so scary to be hungry?"

  "Is there a problem?"

  "Listen, if you don't want to go, I can take you to a dinner first, I can understand..."

  Luke cut off what the other party wanted to say, "After delivery, let's eat."

  Lindsay lived not far from here, and the car was just a few minutes away. David stopped the car and looked at the house number on the house, "It should be here."

  Outside the window It was a dilapidated square, the wooden fence was broken, surrounded by a piece of iron, the yard was messy, and there were colorful graffiti on the walls.

  David pulled the handbrake and took a deep breath, "You wait in the car, I'll be out soon."

  "You wait in the car, I'll take it."

  "What?" David thought he had heard it wrong .

  "Are you sure you want to see what's going on in the house? If it's the man who opens the door, can you resiste not beating him? Or just shooting him?"

  David touched his chin, "Don't you want to change partners? if I do such thing, you might actually get your chance to get rid of me."

  "I wanted to change partners, but not in this way." Luke took the naloxone from David, stepped out of the car, and said,

  "You're welcome."
