Chapter 271 Eavesdropping, but no storm
Fraser didn't give Luke any answer in the end.
Kate Beckett followed Frasier away, and it was obvious that Kate wanted to persuade Fred.
No matter how righteous a police officer is, you still have to be able to investigate a case.
However, Luke didn't pay attention to the two of them, but called Qin's father Drake.
"Luke? What is it?"
"I want to ask about Medellin White, who was recently involved in a case."
"She got into trouble? That shouldn't be the case, right?"
"It's not her problem, it's her employer's problem."
"Oh, I'll send it to you right away. Did you go to New York?"
"how do you know?"
"Haha, because this guy stays away from the West Coast."
"Is it my mother when she was young..."
"Don't ask. I won't tell you anything. If you are interested, you can ask Medellin in person. But I don't think she will tell you. After all, this is her dark history."
"Well, I'm not that curious. I just want to ask her about the case."
"Pay attention to your attitude. She has a good relationship with this president. It's best not to ask about anything other than the case."
After hanging up the phone with Father Qin, Luke began to think.
What role did the president play in this?
What was banker Arthur Case's purpose?
What purpose does Medellin White want to achieve by helping this Arthur Keyes?
Ever since he learned that the president was involved, Luke had his own ideas.
This president is a bit unfriendly...
Kate Beckett was back soon.
But she gave Luke a helpless look.
It was clear that Frasier didn't listen to Kate.
Luke asked her if she wanted to continue investigating.
Kate asked Luke hesitantly.
"If you investigate openly, will there be any problems?"
Luke shook his head.
"That's fine for me, but it's hard to say for you. Besides, even for me, I will receive a notice in the end, so this case will end up in vain."
Beckett glanced at Luke in surprise.
"Not even you?"
Luke still shook his head.
"Don't forget, I am also a member of this system."
Kate was silent for a long time and then asked Luke:
"What if we investigate secretly?"
Luke smiled and replied to Kate:
"And then? Even if you know the truth, what will happen? The final result will not change at all. Instead, it will put you in danger."
Kate finally hesitated for a long time and said to Luke:
"Then let's investigate quietly and see how far we can go. After all, Fraser and I would be unwilling to give up if we don't give it a try."
Luke sighed and said to Kate:
"Okay, then we'll check first, and then talk about it when someone can't sit still anymore."
Kate nodded as well.
"Then trouble you."
Kate's words really expressed her gratitude to Luke.
Because Luke not only has to take risks for them, but also act as a shield for them.
This time Kate owes Luke a favor.
Originally, I wanted to ask Luke for help to repay a favor, but I didn't expect that there would be such a deep water behind this incident.
This time, not only is the favor I did for Luke last time not enough, but I owe Luke an even bigger favor.
But as for friends, it is through these kinds of favors that bonds and deeper friendships are formed.
The next day, Kate brought Luke to the scene.
Lilith also brought a lot of instruments.
This place has been inspected by the Forensic Department.
But it's clear that Luke doesn't trust the NYPD's forensics department.
Kate came to him, obviously she understood that there were people in the police station who didn't want the case to be investigated further.
The interior of the bank is now being cleaned.
Originally, he didn’t want the police to investigate any further, but Luke had FBI credentials and the case wasn’t completely closed.
Fraser hadn't turned in the report or signed off on the case, so the matter wasn't over yet.
Luke did not go to the room where the hostages were held.
Since the robbers were prepared, it is impossible for them to leave any clues.
Finally, there is only the bank vault.
They didn't take even a dollar, but they robbed the bank.
Are they fools? No, it's clear that their focus is not on the money, but on the bank safe.
Accompanied by the bank manager, everyone came to the bank safe area.
This is the safe for private storage business.
A place dedicated to storing personal belongings for customers.
Lilith brought a few instruments and checked them for a while, then put them away and nodded to Luke.
Luke did not communicate with Kate or Lilith. After the inspection, he took Kate and Lilith away from the bank.
Back at the hotel, as soon as Luke reached the door, he noticed something was wrong.
Someone had come into his room.
When Luke left, he deliberately hung a "Do Not Disturb" sign on the door handle.
With Luke's memory, any scene he has seen will be accurately remembered in his mind.
But the sign had been moved and was in the wrong position.
It is impossible for the hotel cleaning staff to go out of their way to get the sign and take a look.
Luke made a silencing gesture to Kate and Lilith, then opened the door.
He winked at Lilith, who took out an instrument from her large travel bag and began to check every corner of the room.
Actually, this was done for Kate Beckett.
With Luke's super perception and Lilith's built-in scanning system, they would have discovered the bug under the coffee table in the living room long ago.
There is more than one behind the mural, in the bedroom.
To Kate Beckett's surprise, four bugs were found.
Luke continued to wink at Lilith while holding the thing, and then Lilith placed the eavesdropping devices on a laptop-sized thing.
Then Luke looked at Kate and smiled, and the meaning was clear.
How is it? Did I predict it right? Someone is getting restless so soon.
Afterwards, Lilith finished analyzing with the instrument and showed Luke the electronic map.
Luke pulled Kate to the window and whispered in her ear:
“The blue van.”
He pointed to the blue van among the many vehicles parked on the roadside downstairs.
Kate looked serious but conflicted. Finally, she looked at Luke and signaled with her eyes.
Should we check on these people?
Luke shook his head.
Walk up to Lilith and pick up the bug.
"I know you guys are eavesdropping, have your boss come talk to me."
After saying that, he gently squeezed and the four eavesdropping devices turned into a pile of fragments.
Luke said to Kate:
"Don't go home these days. Stay with Lilith. I'm afraid you'll be in danger when you go back. After all, you don't have the leverage that Fraser has to threaten the president."
Kate hesitated for a while, and finally nodded helplessly.
Fraser, that bastard, owes her a lot.
But she was not worried about the favors she had with Luke, as they became good friends after owing each other a debt of gratitude.
It is rare to have a friend like Luke who is both rich and loyal.
I don't know how McClane is so lucky to be friends with someone like Luke.
The last time Luke traveled three thousand miles, used public resources for personal gain, and brought a group of his men to rescue his ex-girlfriend, Kate knew that Luke was a trustworthy person.
John McClane: Come on, come on... I'll give you this luck... Whoever wants it can take it... Damn it, I always get beaten up by a group of people, all by professional terrorists...
