Being A Detective in The World of Film and Television

Chapter 176: The whole family reunites to celebrate Christmas - Part 2 (4 more chapters)

Views:

After talking about this case that could not be brushed aside, Luke never mentioned the New York shootout again. There was no need to show off in front of his family.

He would try to pick up some bizarre and funny cases to amuse Catherine.

For example, a woman had an argument with a clerk in a fast food restaurant. In anger, she took off her pants to relieve herself, and then threw shit at the clerk.

As soon as he said this, he was immediately hit by Catherine in anger.

Fortunately, everyone is drinking beverages now, otherwise it would be really disgusting.

Luke could only change the subject and said that a woman went back to the dormitory in the middle of the night, took a shortcut and climbed over the railing to go home, but her underwear got caught on the railing. She could only call for help, which attracted the police to rescue her and she was able to escape.

Catherine expressed disbelief: "What brand of underwear is that?"

Robert asked suspiciously: "Is it swollen?" In return, Catherine glared at him angrily, so he quickly shut up and turned away.

Luke shrugged. "I think so, but this is news from USC. I don't know how true it is."

Time just passes by like this.

At night, everyone, including Selena, slept in the small villa. There was even an extra room because Claire wanted to sleep with Selena.

Luke didn't know what the two girls wanted to communicate, and he didn't stop them. He just told them not to sleep too late because they had to go out and play tomorrow.

At nine o'clock the next morning, when everyone had just gotten up, washed up and had breakfast, there was a knock on the door.

Claire, who was asked by Catherine to open the door, called out a moment later: "Luke, when did you prepare the car for us?"

Luke was confused: "What car?"

Claire: "Extended Lincoln."

Luke walked to the door inexplicably and saw a familiar face. After thinking for a while, he asked speculatively, "Are you not called by Mr. Aoki?"

The short black man smiled happily, "Yes, sir. I also know that it was you and Mr. John who caught the robbers together."

Luke nodded: "Were you in the garage too?"

The black man smiled sheepishly: "I'm just a driver."

Of course Luke wouldn't ask why they didn't come out to resist the robbers. None of the forty or fifty people above dared to resist.

He just smiled and said, "Catching criminals is the duty of the police. It has nothing to do with you. Oh, why did Mr. Aoki ask you to come?"

The black man smiled happily and said, "During the days your family is visiting Los Angeles, I will be at their service, picking them up and dropping them off. And if you want to inquire about places to go, you can contact me. I'm an expert on the area."

Luke then remembered that he had indeed mentioned this idea to Aoki at the beginning, but the other party exchanged it for such an expensive villa and now he still remembers this matter.

He couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart: I must owe this favor. As long as it does not violate the principles, I must help Qingmu once.

For now, the favor Luke owed was not that valuable.

But what about five years from now? Ten years from now

You know, Luke was just an ordinary young man half a year ago, but now he dares to kill fifty armed robbers alone.

Aoki, this cunning old man, really grasped some of Luke's personality traits.

Of course, maybe Luke is the kind of ungrateful person, or someone who doesn't remember favors very much, so Aoki won't lose anything.

After all, how much money you give to the person who saved you really depends on your heart.

However, Aoki took this opportunity to make Luke reluctantly owe him a favor, which was an unexpected gain.

Luke went in and informed everyone about this.

Claire screamed excitedly, "Ahh, Disney, Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Sunset Boulevard, I want to go there."

Luke didn't stop her. He just let her do as she pleased.

Katherine on the other side also looked longing: "It's okay to go to the Getty Center, right?"

Luke smiled and nodded: "Of course."

Joseph on the other side: "Can we watch a movie? I heard there's an animated film called Space Mob for Christmas this year."

Luke: "Okay, can you discuss the specific time with Claire and mom? Well, we can also go to the Chinese Theater to watch a movie." He remembered this place that often appeared in entertainment articles.

Robert didn't say anything. Luke chuckled and leaned in to whisper, "Do you want me to ask the driver to take you to the San Fernando Valley alone?"

Robert: “Get lost!”

Luke did not unify everyone's opinions. Instead, after getting in the car, he summarized everyone's opinions and then asked the little black man how to arrange the itinerary.

Little Black Man: "How many days do you want to play?"

Robert thought for a moment and said, "Five days."

Luke: "It's enough to play for a week. It's not easy to have a private car."

Robert: "I can play for five days at most."

Luke thought about it and decided to give up.

After all, it is not safe to let Catherine travel with Claire and Joseph.

The black boy confirmed the time and quickly made arrangements: "It's best not to go to Disneyland these two days. There are too many people inside. The fun attractions are all crowded. Maybe you go there with great enthusiasm, but you won't even get to pee your pants before it's your turn."

This was a bit harsh, but it successfully discouraged Claire from going to Disneyland.

It doesn't matter where else, especially since Joseph wants to watch a movie, if he doesn't stop by the Chinese Theater, he can watch it anytime.

Robert's San Fernando Valley... well, there is no such project.

Finally, everyone decided to go to Universal Studios first, which is a bit like Disney, but not as crowded.

Things like the Hollywood Walk of Fame, Beverly Hills, and watching movies can all be done one by one in the following days.

Of course, the most boring thing here is probably visiting Beverly Hills, because the little policeman can't afford anything there.

The combined annual salary of Luke and Robert is only enough for other celebrities to buy one or two sets of daily outfits there.

However, Claire and Katherine obviously want to go, and Selina is also very interested, so let them go... Shopping on a budget

Luke secretly pulled Robert over and said, "I can pay 10,000 dollars, and Catherine and the other three can each buy a small item that suits their taste there. What do you think?"

Robert glared, then gritted his teeth and said, "I'll pay $7,500, and you pay $7,500. Katherine is my wife, Selena is yours, and Claire, as your brother, you have the responsibility to pay half. Each of them will pay $5,000."

Luke chuckled: "Deal."

After he passed by, he quietly pulled Selina aside and said a few words, which immediately made her eyes widen: "Really?"

Luke: "They can't have Christmas presents but not buy you one, right? To me, you are also my family."

Selina hugged him and kissed him on the cheek: "Okay, from now on you are my brother."

Luke: ...Don’t you feel guilty before you say this

Luke didn't know what the three ladies bought, but they were all in a good mood from then on.

Claire and Joseph rarely traveled far since they were young, so they had a lot of fun this time.
