Chapter 336 Old Friends in New York

Luke agreed to his sisters' request and held a three-day party at home...

First day with family.

Mother Elsa only cares about Luke's daily life in Europe.

Because with the development of the Qin family in Europe, the California investment bank where she works has already controlled many European banks.

So although we don’t know exactly what Luke did in Europe, the business has been fully rolled out.

Father Qin was as calm as ever.

I mainly talked with Luke about some current things in American politics.

Because of the events of September 2001, the current president's approval rating is very high.

The fighting in Afghanistan has also heated up.

The Qin family’s weapons company also made a lot of money.

All Luke cares about is when he can get out of suspension.

Qin's father Drake did not give a specific time.

The current president does not trust the FBI.

Because the FBI has always been controlled by another faction.

So the president sent Congress a plan to create the Department of Homeland Security.

It is necessary to integrate the functions of more than 20 departments.

These traditional intelligence agencies have their own factions, such as CIA, DEA, FBI, ATF, IRS, etc.

These traditional departments do not take the US president seriously.

The saying that the White House is permanent but the presidents come and go is not just talk.

Just like the Department of Defense, there are some secrets that they will not report proactively unless the president asks.

Therefore, this US president is also very annoyed by the non-cooperation of these old departments.

The least popular are the FBI and CIA.

But Luke was in no hurry.

The next day, Luke called the team members and Harris and Sean Arthur to have a party.

The main purpose is to catch up with everyone after not seeing them for a year.

Luke doesn’t have any plans for the next step, and for the time being he plans to continue working with Lilith to improve the technological level of Daqin Industry.

Ava and Patis have adapted well to the team.

The work is very leisurely for them. Although the salary is the federal unified civil service standard, other benefits are excellent.

There is a car provided, as well as housing and living allowances. The working environment is good and the colleagues are friendly and speak well.

So now they are satisfied.

They didn't say much about Luke's situation.

However, Erica and the others still expressed their loyalty to Luke and hoped that Luke would come back as soon as possible.

Although Luke is suspended, he will contact Lilith to arrange training for everyone when he is free.

Harris doesn't use them easily either.

Some guys who joined the team early have been eager to try, hoping that Luke will come back soon.

Compared to the dull life now, it was more exciting when Luke was around...

On the third day, of course, we went to look for Stark and Rhodes.

But the party at home was just a formality.

A day later, the three of them secretly went to a strip club...

Then Lilith sent a message to Luke.

"Boss, the two Secret Service cars that were following you the day before yesterday showed up at the crime scene in Los Angeles County."

I had been planning to go to San Francisco to visit Heather who was attending college, but I was interrupted by a message from Lilith.

A woman was shot and killed by sniper fire at an outdoor public community playground.

That night, a special service industry venue was blocked and a gunfight broke out there.

But information is not enough.

Luke called Brian.

Because Luke's main job is not in Los Angeles.

So he had no informants.

Brian has been working here for almost two years, so he should have some informants in this area.

Sure enough, Brian promised Luke to ask.

Not long after, Brian sent a message.

The group was searching for "mammy" in the Los Angeles underworld yesterday.

They don't know the specific reason.

But the particular place where the gunfight took place did have such a "nanny".

After hanging up the phone, Luke thought for a while and asked Lilith to search the entire city to track the two Secret Service cars.

Lilith is as reliable as ever.

In less than ten minutes, their traces were found.

"Boss, there's a gunfight going on in the hotel they're in now, and someone nearby has called the police."

Luke immediately got on the roadblock and rushed to the scene of the accident.

When Luke arrived, the scene had been cordoned off and someone was already cleaning up.

Although after Luke was suspended, his credentials were taken away.

But he has the universal certificate, the "Hell Gold Coin" given by Mephisto.

Here he actually met a colleague...

This man also had FBI credentials.

But this way, he doesn't look like a serious person at all...

Bald, fat, short, wearing glasses, with a big beard, his eyes reveal a wretched temperament...

What this guy didn't expect was that he and Luke gave their real names.

Lilith was very efficient and told Luke his identity in the headset within seconds.

He is a former FBI behavioral analyst who was fired.

Currently employed by a small arms manufacturing company, Hammerson Firearms.

Moreover, this company is related to the president of Hammer Military Industries.

Luke's arrival made this guy very unhappy.

Luke's request to see the scene was clearly rejected.

But Luke didn't force it. As long as he followed this guy, he would always find the real culprit.

This guy is also a dirty worker, and his employer is Hammerson Firearms Company.

Luke didn't go home, so he just followed this guy in the car.

The next day the fat man returned to Hammerson Company.

Luke monitored from a distance via a drone and discovered interesting things and people.

A fierce gun battle broke out in the Hammerson Company warehouse.

Although faces cannot be seen through the integrated imaging system, the specific process of the gunfight can be seen.

A group of people were beaten to a pulp by one man, and then they managed to escape from there.

Luke smiled as he watched.

Interesting, since he went to Hammerson and didn't kill all the people, he ran out again. What's the point?

But after the man escaped, Luke saw his true face.

Although he was dressed in the slovenly manner of a homeless man, Luke still recognized him.

"Oh, so you're no longer a chivalrous thief, but an underground hero now?"

So we arranged a drone and followed this guy to a weapons museum.

Then Luke was surprised to find that there was a child and a woman in the tank in the museum.

Luke found a cafe nearby and continued to monitor the three people in the museum with his tablet.

Roadblock went to pick up Lilith.

When visiting an "old friend", you can't go empty-handed.

When Lilith arrived, Luke took her into the museum.

Lilith used her ID to swagger in and took Luke in.

I knocked on a Pershing tank in the exhibition hall, and the people inside were horrified.

Luke smiled and said:

"Don't be nervous. I'm your old friend in New York, Mr. Dalton Smith. Come out and talk. I know your troubles."

(For details, please see Chapter 275. Dalton Smith is the leader of the bank robbery. This is from the movie "Insider".)

Dalton inside thought about it and finally recognized Luke's voice.

It was the FBI who dressed like a mafia gangster that night...

But he still cautiously came out of the tank with his gun.

After seeing Luke and Lilith, he looked around.

Fortunately, Luke did not lie. There was indeed no ambush except for him and Lilith.
