Being A Detective in The World of Film and Television

Chapter 12: Grumpy dad, coward George

Views:

Selina took it, peeled it with one hand, put it in her mouth and said vaguely: "If Robert was as shameless as you, he would definitely become the chief of the Knox Police Department."

Lu Ke didn't care: "No, if you want to be the director, a ruthless heart is the key. Shamelessness is just a derivative of a ruthless heart."

Selina thought about it and was unable to refute: "Are you saying that Robert is not cruel enough?"

Lu Ke: "What I mean is that I'm not cruel enough."

Selena: …

The two chatted for a while and then the car arrived at the destination.

After getting off the car, the two followed Robert.

Robert didn't even ring the doorbell, but just shouted at the top of his voice: "Bick, open the door."

In less than two minutes, the door opened.

A middle-aged white man looked at Robert and said, "Come in, Robert. I'm waiting for you."

Then, he saw the two people behind Robert and forced a smile: "Selina, little Luke, you guys too, come in together."

The three of them followed him into the small building.

Small towns are not like big cities. For example, when New York police enter someone's room, they basically have to show their police badge and say: NYPD.

As for Robert, he knew almost all the permanent residents in the town, and all the permanent residents also knew him as the sheriff, so naturally he didn't need to show his police badge or report his identity.

Of course, Robert is now wearing a full police uniform, and the police badge is actually pinned on his belt.

After entering the house and sitting on the sofa in the living room, Robert went straight to the point: "Bick, let's go to George to find out something."

Bick hesitated, and finally said: "Robert, for the sake of our old acquaintance, tell me, will George be okay?"

The three policemen present couldn't help but think: This is interesting.

Robert was silent for a moment before he spoke: "Bick, I can only promise that I will do my best to take care of George within the scope of my authority."

Piccolo smiled bitterly: "You are still so ruthless."

Robert: "Bick, Michelle is dead. This is not something that can be brushed aside."

Bick took a deep breath and nodded, then turned his head and yelled to the upstairs: "Get down here, you damned little bastard. If you keep hiding, I'll go upstairs with a gun and call you."

Lu Ke: ... Well, this is very Texas. Angry dads are not uncommon here.

Almost immediately George emerged from the stairs, having evidently been eavesdropping.

Looking at this 1.9-meter-tall man walking down with a cowering look on his face, Lu Ke felt nothing in his heart and even wanted to laugh.

There was something else he hadn't told Robert before.

However, that was because it concerned his own privacy and he did not want to mislead Robert's judgment.

Lu Ke personally believed that the three people who left a large number of lives on Michelle were George, Rhoda, and Boris.

George was the most likely candidate because he knew from his conversation with the cheerleading girls that George and Michelle had sneaked into the house before.

What did he want to do by sneaking into the house? That should be the same idea as Lu Ke and Ximena at that time, but Lu Ke and Ximena were unlucky and it ended before it even started.

But Lu Ke didn't think George was the one who killed Michelle, at least he was the least suspicious.

Because he knew that George was actually a coward.

At the same time, George was also aware of Michelle's relationships with other men.

Just like Michelle knew that George was hooking up with some cheerleaders.

These two people... are the legendary weird couple. The man likes to flirt with other girls, and the woman likes to collect stamps.

Lu Ke knew this because George had harassed Ximena and had the audacity to threaten Lu Ke and tell him to get out.

Lu Ke didn't say anything at the time, but one day after school, he found an opportunity to stop George on his way home alone.

In less than thirty seconds, George was lying on the ground begging for mercy.

Although the two men have a big difference in body size, George is 1.9 meters tall and weighs over 100 kilograms, and looks very strong.

Lu Ke is only 1.82 meters tall and weighs just over 80 kilograms, making him look rather thin.

But Lu Ke has been practicing Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu since junior high school, and he is not at the same level as George, who has been training almost exclusively in football.

He locked George's arm in thirty seconds, and George fell to the ground and cried for his dad in pain.

This is also the reason why Lu Ke did not learn any boxing or Chinese martial arts.

For most daily situations, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu can subdue or maim an opponent, and is better at close combat, which is suitable for everyday conflicts of ordinary people.

Like boxing, it feels great to knock out a player with one punch, but if the opponent is not careful, he may suffer a concussion.

Moreover, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu techniques play a greater role than the body. Once locked, even if George is 20 kilograms heavier than him, he can only lie on the ground and call daddy.

After dealing with George that time, this guy kept avoiding Lu Ke. It was not until more than a month that Lu Ke stopped bothering him that he became a little more normal. However, he never dared to harass Ximena again.

Lu Ke concluded that this person was a coward.

George's correct statement is that you become strong when you meet the weak and weak when you meet the strong.

Looking at George's behavior now, Lu Ke didn't need to think too much to know that this guy was up to something.

Standing there timidly, Robert said, "Sit down, George. I need to ask you some questions."

George's forehead actually began to sweat, and his eyes wandered to his father, Piccolo, beside him.

The corner of Lu Ke's mouth twitched: This guy is really a coward.

Bick's face was full of mixed emotions, anger, helplessness, and anxiety. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "Tell Robert everything you did last night and answer all his questions. Don't hide anything. Unless you want to become a murderer."

The three people opposite were moved again.

The father and son must have communicated with each other. Piccolo may have known what happened last night, so he let George be questioned.

However, it is hard to say whether George is a murderer.

It is common for people to try to cover up something but it only makes it more obvious.

George then told the story of what happened last night with a sad face.

After finishing speaking, Robert had a strange look on his face, but Selina and Lu Ke behind him looked at each other with different expressions in their eyes.

Lu Ke felt that Selina's look probably meant "You high school students don't know how to have fun?"

The look he gave back said "It has nothing to do with me."

Robert continued to question George, and Lu Ke listened while pondering what George had just said.

As expected, George and Michelle went into the house and did some "good things". Since both of them had graduated, George secretly brought a bottle of tequila from his father over, and the two of them went around the house having fun, drinking and having fun.

Finally George got drunk, then woke up.

He then wanted to take Michelle out to continue the party, but he found that he couldn't wake up Michelle. Upon closer inspection, he found that she had stopped breathing.
