To use a Chinese saying to describe Fudge's behavior just now, it was courting death.
But Luke admired him.
Fudge is a good man with a bottom line and a sense of justice.
The Chief District Attorney Reyes has ulterior motives.
Although no one who can sit in that position is innocent, Reyes's intention in participating in this case is definitely not clean.
In Luke's mental communication, if Fudge is defined as a blank sheet of paper, then Reyes is at least a pile of mud, even if he is not a pile of shit.
No matter how innocent Fudge is, he is not a blank sheet of paper, so Reyes's thoughts are actually worse than shit and full of stench.
Luke also took notice of the chief district attorney.
If Fudge and the others are dealt with in the future, he doesn't mind looking into the dark history of Ms. Reyes and bringing her down.
Fudge and his firm were useful to him, but Ms. Reyes was worthless to him.
This makes perfect sense.
On the other side, after being confronted, Reyes reluctantly "allowed" Fudge and the other two to participate in the case.
She could settle the score later, but she didn't have the courage to do it now.
She was going to be a big shot, and didn't want to die here with a young man like Fudge.
Luke did not get involved in what happened next. He just gave Fudge a secret farewell gesture and left with Selina.
The show is over and it's time for them to leave.
He is not afraid of Reyes. After all, the district attorney is not the head of the NYPD and has no control over him.
But he already knew what he needed to know, and he had no interest in getting involved in Reyes' affairs. He could call Fudge when he had time and find out everything.
Fudge would not keep a secret from his friend just for the sake of the domineering Reyes.
After leaving the hospital, Luke called Elizabeth and asked her to help check the surveillance footage near the Metropolitan General Hospital last night to see if they could find the suspect who matched Karen's description. If she had any information, she could tell him during the dinner party that night.
Elizabeth then asked casually, "Is Selena still cooking? The dishes and desserts she makes are so good. I dream of eating them again."
Hearing this from the speakerphone, Luke glanced at Selina and agreed decisively: "Well, I'll make sure she has the dishes ready when you come."
After hanging up the phone, Selina couldn't help but ask, "Can you come out and admit that you did all this? It's always like this, and it's very difficult for me."
The main reason was that she was only responsible for eating and felt embarrassed when talking about the pig food she made. However, Elizabeth often praised her cooking skills and said she wanted to learn from her.
Fortunately, Elizabeth was just talking nonsense and was too busy to learn it, otherwise she wouldn't know what expression to show.
Luke shrugged. "Today, you are responsible for pressing the start button of the kitchen utensils, so it can be considered that you did it."
Selina: ... What you said makes so much sense that I can't even refute it.
After a quick lunch, the two went to look for private cameras near the Metropolitan Hospital, trying to get surveillance footage from key locations before and after the incident last night.
Elizabeth could only check the surveillance cameras installed by the police. There were not many of these surveillance cameras, and they had conspicuous signs.
Anyone with a little common sense will try to avoid them.
In fact, this type of police surveillance is specifically placed in certain sensitive locations, such as near the intersections where banks, fast food restaurants, and jewelry stores are located. It is to deter people who intend to commit crimes and reduce the crime rate.
It is unlikely that the attacker would appear in police surveillance, but it is difficult to completely avoid private surveillance scattered in various hidden corners, so he might have been captured on camera.
As long as Luke takes them back, Xiao Wo will transfer the surveillance videos into the database and search and analyze them one by one.
At 5 p.m., the two returned to their home in Clinton.
Luke processed the ingredients, and Selina was responsible for putting them into the smart kitchenware, which meant she had finished cooking.
The two of them spent less than half an hour making dinner, they were just taking a break, chatting and cooking at the same time.
Xiao Wo issued a warning: "Sir, a highly suspected target has been found."
"So fast?" Luke was satisfied: "You are getting smarter and smarter, Xiaowo. Do you want to change your name in the future?"
Xiao Snail: "What's the name?"
Luke: "A trotting snail?"
Xiaowo: "... From the perspective of efficiency, this name is not conducive to your rapid issuance of instructions."
Luke: "Okay, let's just call him Xiao Snail."
Xiaowo: "Thank you, sir. Do you need me to show you the information of the highly suspected target now?"
Luke: "Okay, project it. Let me see who it is..."
Seeing the familiar middle-aged man on the virtual screen, he was stunned: "Frank Custer? Xiaowo, are you on another channel?"
Xiao Wo immediately derived another virtual proof: "This is a picture found in a surveillance camera outside the hospital before the attack last night."
Luke looked at the screen and saw Frank Castle walking with his head down, carrying a long shoulder bag.
Although the people on the surveillance footage have concealed their identities, Xiaowo has a strong recognition program, and the probability is as high as 89% if multiple conditions are met.
The long shoulder bag Frank was carrying was obviously filled with a gun.
Considering that the attacker used a shotgun in the hospital last night, it was difficult for Luke to rule out Frank Castle as a suspect.
Moreover, this guy was a retired soldier from the army, and his methods were consistent with those used in these two attacks.
"What a surprise," he murmured.
Selina also knew that Luke was looking for Frank Castle. Seeing the man in the picture, she frowned and stuffed a cake into her mouth: "What are you going to do?"
Frank Custer caused a big incident last night, and now the case is being watched by the district attorney. His situation is actually very dangerous. If he is not careful, he will end up being chased by the entire NYPD.
Luke asked Xiao Wo to put away the virtual screen, and returned to the living room with a glass bowl of snacks and sat down. "We're going to go out for a walk these nights and look for Robert's old comrade. If possible, let him leave New York as soon as possible."
Those killed by Frank were gang members who sold illegal drugs and used brutal means. Luke certainly had no intention of killing his own relatives for the sake of justice.
But Frank was too easy to be targeted if he stayed in New York, so they had to move him away.
An hour later, Elsa and Elizabeth arrived in the same car.
At the dinner tonight, only Elsa was drunk.
The other three had just returned from vacation in their hometowns and had a great time at home.
Only Elsa, who had spent Christmas working overtime in New York, needed proper relaxation.
Elsa was then driven home by Elizabeth.
However, somewhat beyond Luke's expectations, Elizabeth also discovered Frank Castle's whereabouts.
But Frank appeared in the surveillance footage not near the hospital, but near the warehouse where the Irish gang was wiped out.
Luke didn't say anything, but asked Elizabeth to keep the information secret.
Elizabeth didn't ask any questions and agreed readily.
She completely trusted Luke, otherwise she wouldn't have taken this kind of private work so seriously.
