Wolf signaled to the two security guards behind him, and they covered Young Master Dylan's mouth and took him out.
When Young Master Dylan disappeared from the room, his eyes turned to Luke: "Who are you?"
Luke smiled, "I'm just a little detective, Mr. Elsworth, don't worry about me."
Wolf narrowed his eyes and nodded slowly: "Okay, let's get to know each other when we have a chance." Then he walked out.
After walking for a distance, he said to Attorney Allen, "Go and contact this detective and see what he wants to do with those things."
Alan nodded silently.
If you don't do dirty work, how can you earn a lot of money? If you want to make a lot of money as a lawyer, don't think about being a clean person.
On the other side, Luke watched Wolf waiting for the formalities to be processed, then he slapped Dylan in the face and whispered a few words. Wolf then embraced the young master again, and the uncle and nephew walked out of the police station.
After squinting his eyes and studying the uncle and nephew's backs for a moment, he suddenly asked Selina beside him: "Do you think that these uncle and nephew... look alike?"
Selina nodded subconsciously: "Yes, temperament, appearance, face shape, height, style, uh, wait! You don't mean to say..."
He raised his hand to signal her not to say it, turned back to the table, and subconsciously hummed a song from his previous life: "... Unlike any other meaning, you are the green light, so unique..."
Dustin must have an informant in the office lobby, because he received a call immediately after the uncle and nephew left.
Luke and the other man entered his office, closed the door and stood there quietly.
Dustin didn't show any expression, but just said, "That's enough. Don't keep focusing on this case. Don't you have other cases on hand?"
Luke nodded: "Got it, Boss."
Dustin pondered for a moment and said, "Pay attention to that lawyer Allen Shaw. This guy has some disgusting tricks."
Luke looked puzzled.
Dustin had no scruples about the young lawyer's background and said, "He often uses some not-so-legal tricks to achieve his goals, such as framing others and making up groundless gossip. These are his usual methods. But as long as he gets a compromise, he will stop the action and clean up the impact, so basically no one is willing to break up with him."
Luke probably understood what was going on and nodded: "I see. Then let's go investigate other cases first."
Dustin nodded and lowered his head to work.
The two of them went to say hello to Elsa and drove out.
By noon, Luke and his companions took their time to have lunch before driving to the highway outside the city.
This was the case that Elsa had thrown to them before. After the two of them finished their drama against the Esworth family, they continued to handle the case as normal.
Selina was flipping through the files in the car and said casually, "This happened the day before yesterday. According to a driver, someone tried to rob the tanker truck he was driving."
Luke hummed.
Selina added: "However, the tanker truck driven by this driver was not registered, and it was obvious that the oil he was transporting was not very clean."
Luke casually complained: "Robbering a tanker truck, are you crazy because you are so poor? How much oil can it have?"
Selina flipped through it and said, "The driver didn't say anything, but according to the preliminary investigation report at the scene, this is a semi-trailer tanker truck, a big one that can pull 40 to 50 tons."
"That's a really huge sum of money!" Luke curled his lips.
Compared to cash, a batch of refined oil + a tanker truck is too easy to trace.
Moreover, this large truck only has more than 10,000 gallons of gasoline. With the price of about US$2 per gallon in the United States, it is worth at most 20,000 or 30,000 yuan.
If it is stolen goods, the price will be lowered and the harvest will be even less.
While they were talking, the two arrived at their destination, a high slope.
The two men stopped the car and got out, looking at the long sloping road. A burnt and damaged tanker truck lay overturned on the side of the road.
"This robbery seems to be very intense." Selina sighed.
Luke nodded, and the two of them stepped down.
Along the way, parts of the tanker truck flew out from time to time, and there were obvious signs of burning in some places.
Fortunately, this is a barren mountain, with almost only soil and rocks on the edge, and no forests, otherwise it would probably cause a forest fire.
When they reached the tanker truck, they looked around it.
Luke then said, "This is a 40-ton oil tanker truck. It has exploded. The robbers worked in vain."
Selina replied casually, "Maybe they come here just for the excitement. Otherwise, if they steal a few luxury cars, they can sell them for more than this much money."
Luke looked around and said, "The scenery here is actually pretty good. How about we go to the top of the mountain to sunbathe later? We didn't succeed in sunbathing at the beach yesterday, so how about sunbathing on the top of the mountain today instead?"
Selina was stunned for a moment and then laughed.
She had her own judgment on whether Luke had acted yesterday just for show or because of Ximena.
But since he is willing to make it up to me today, let's forgive him.
She turned around again and looked at the ridge behind her. It seemed that the sunshine there was indeed very good.
The two men didn't take the tanker truck robbery case very seriously. No one died, they just burned a tanker truck, which was not a big deal in Los Angeles.
As the two walked back, Selena looked for a suitable place for sunbathing.
Suddenly, two black SUVs drove over from the same direction.
Luke was stunned for a moment, then he laughed: "How can you meet an old acquaintance in this remote place?"
A black SUV drove over and stopped next to the two of them. The passenger door was opened and a tall, beautiful woman with a ponytail got out: "Hi, Luke, Selina."
Luke and the other man also smiled and nodded: "Hi, Palmer." The person who came was the beautiful agent Palmer from the DEA (Drug Enforcement Administration).
She gestured, and the three of them walked to the shade at the side. Then she lowered her voice and asked, "Are you... here to investigate the tanker robbery?"
Luke nodded. "This is a robbery. There was an explosion and fire. We have to come and take a look at this big noise."
Palmer hesitated: "Well, do you have any clues?"
Luke shook his head: "No, we just arrived and didn't even look closely at the scene."
He looked at Palmer's expression and laughed: "If you have something to say, just tell me. After all, we are acquaintances now."
Palmer smiled bitterly, a little embarrassed: "This case is related to a line we are following."
At this point, she looked at Luke and the other man's expressions and nodded helplessly: "Well, it's actually the clue of the creator. We suspect that this guy is looking for someone to help him smuggle goods in from Mexico. So..."
Luke thought for a moment and said, "Are you afraid that we might find some clues and alert the creator?"
Palmer laughed dryly and didn't answer, but he obviously agreed.
But she muttered in her heart: With the level of you two, if that group of people met you, they would all die in minutes, and the creator's line would be completely wiped out.
