Luke saved her last time, and afterwards the DEA (Drug Enforcement Administration) paid some price and got a sniper back from the West District Police Station.
It was also from this sniper that Palmer and his team learned more about the creator.
Although the true identity of the creator is still unknown, an important drug transportation route is vaguely visible.
At the same time, Palmer also gained a better understanding of Luke's fighting ability.
The sniper was a retired special forces member. He was knocked unconscious before he could even see Luke.
Palmer really didn't dare to bet on Luke and the other man's efficiency in solving the case.
Luke smiled and said, "This case is nothing. If you need us to, we can stop investigating. But what has Martin done recently...?"
Paar was silent for a moment, feeling a little depressed: "Martin's condition... is not very good. Roger has contacted him to a secluded sanatorium in the countryside. The doctors there will give him a more complete treatment."
Luke was stunned: "Martin's condition... is so serious?"
It was just a few days, and he was so busy with the cases handed over by Roger and Martin that he didn't notice this situation.
After thinking about it, he understood.
The fewer people know about Martin's illness, the better. Some people may not be willing to help keep the secret. If the word gets around, by the time Martin recovers, he may not be able to come back to work.
Palmer told him this because Luke was very nice to Martin and he trusted his character.
Luke nodded, "You know more about this than I do, so I've repaid the favor. We haven't even started investigating this case yet, so feel free to do whatever you want."
Palmer looked at him. "Thank you."
Luke waved his hand, "Alright. I won't delay your work. Selina and I are going to have a picnic on the ridge. You can come and get something to eat when you're free."
Palmer: “Huh?”
A moment later, four DEA (Drug Enforcement Administration) agents including Palmer began their investigation on the highway.
One of the male agents, who was in his thirties, turned around, shielded his eyes from the sun with his hands, looked at the mountain ridge, and said with a sigh, "You are young, beautiful, and can do whatever you want. I really envy you."
Palmer took a quick glance and quickly looked away: "His name is Luke."
The male agent was her new partner, and he didn't take it too seriously: "Skywalker?"
Palmer chuckled: "Luke Coulson, from the West District Crime Squad."
The male agent was stunned for a moment: "Wait, this name... is that Luke?"
Palmer continued to inspect the scene, saying, "Yes, if you've heard of the Zhongfu Building robbery, that was him."
The male agent thought for a moment and immediately shut up.
The Zhongfu Building case caused quite a stir.
Six hundred and forty million in bearer bonds, more than fifty hostages, various explosions, more than fifty robbers with heavy firepower, and the gimmick of pretending to be members of the KMT. Basically, all the classic elements of a hot news story are included.
Although the police station did not release the personal information of Luke and John McClane in order to protect the officers involved in the case, as a police department, the DEA (Drug Enforcement Administration) still knew some inside information.
For example, one of the two unnamed detectives is a genuine Los Angeles police officer and the main fighter.
These rumors have not been officially confirmed, but they have been circulating in the Los Angeles police circle, such as that the Los Angeles Police Department has a super-capable policeman and so on.
Of course, the person who said it didn't care, and the people who listened just laughed it off, and no one got to the bottom of it.
The male agent's psychological activities were quite complicated when he suddenly found this rumored person appearing in front of him, sunbathing on the ridge.
There is definitely no jealousy. Killing a lot of people and having a lot of money are two different things.
However, you should stop saying dirty words. It is understandable that capable people are younger and more reckless.
If he talks too much nonsense, it will be easy to be considered as sour grapes, and Palmer's impression of his new partner will probably be greatly reduced.
On the ridge, Selina drank a drink and turned her head to look at the agent who was searching for clues on the road below the mountain: "Is it really okay for us to be so leisurely like this?"
Luke was sunbathing for a rare occasion, holding a small piece of Opera in his hand: "If we are active, Agent Palmer will be in a bad mood."
Selina: "Ah, are you so unrestrained when you meet a beautiful woman?"
Luke chuckled: "This guy has someone above him, Deputy Director Bill of the Los Angeles branch of the DEA (Drug Enforcement Administration)."
Selina said, "What are you planning?"
Luke shrugged. "It's better to be prepared. It's okay to give more favors like this. If she needs help from Palmer someday, she can't refuse."
Selena thought so too.
DEA (Drug Enforcement Agency) is not simple. Compared with ordinary PD (Police Department), they are more like a combat unit.
At the same time, in order to do their work, the density of their intelligence networks and personnel is quite high in North and South America and parts of Asia.
It's just a small effort to gain some favor with the DEA (Drug Enforcement Administration), especially with an agent like Palmer who has a strong backing. This is a worthwhile deal.
The two men leisurely spent the entire afternoon there. When Palmer and the others finished their work, they waved to the ridge before getting in the car and leaving.
The beautiful agent was so busy that she didn't have time to climb the mountain to say goodbye.
Luke had originally intended to let this leisurely time last until five o'clock, and then they would go home for dinner, which would allow him to relax from the series of cases.
But just after four o'clock, his cell phone rang.
After taking it out and talking for a few words, Luke thought about it and called Selina: "Let's go to the hospital."
Selina: “What?” she said as she started to pack up.
Luke: "You remember the woman who was shot while robbing the baby. She was the one who called me and said her husband had arrived and wanted to thank us in person."
As Selina put on her clothes, she wondered, "Why are you thanking us?"
After the gunfight in the park that day, it would have been absolutely normal for some weirdo or poor guy to sue Luke for his actions that led to her being shot.
Luke shrugged, "Thanks to us for saving her, mainly because her husband came over and insisted on meeting us in person."
When they arrived at the hospital, they saw the woman who had been shot in the general ward. Luke smiled and went up to her and hugged her: "How is it? Mei, is your leg better?"
The woman named Mei smiled, her row of white teeth pleasing to the eye: "Much better, the doctor said there's nothing serious wrong with my leg. As long as I rest and do some rehabilitation, it won't affect my mobility."
Luke nodded: "That's good. Any other questions? For example, medical expenses."
Mei quickly shook her head: "No problem, I have insurance."
Luke smiled and said, "If you have any difficulties, just tell me. I can still help you raise some donations."
Mei nodded, "I will if you need me to."
