Flagg was leading four of his men, escorting George and Crystal into a special prison van.
Hearing Luke's voice, he turned his head and a smile appeared on his face: "Thank you for catching them, Detective Luke."
Luke shrugged. "It's my job. Okay, I won't delay your work any longer."
But Flagg called out to him, "Detective Luke, wait."
Luke stopped turning around and looked at him, waiting for what to say next.
Flagg hesitated for a moment and said, "If you meet people like George and Crystal in the future, you can also inform me directly. You understand, right?"
Luke chuckled, "Okay."
Looking at his smiling face, Flagg couldn't help but probe: "These two said that they were caught by a man named Wade. Are you familiar with him?"
Luke shook his head and denied it: "I am not familiar with him, but Qian is very familiar with him."
Flag was stunned: "Money?"
Luke: "Bills, cash, money, that's all he recognizes."
Flagg was silent for a moment, then smiled and nodded: "Okay, that's true. I won't bother you anymore, bye."
After watching Luke and the other man leave, Flagg got into another SUV. The man driving the car couldn't help but say, "Captain, this young man is really good. Let's recruit him."
Flag sighed, "You think I don't want to? It's too much trouble."
As the subordinate drove to catch up with the prison van in front, he asked in surprise, "No way! Would it be difficult for us to poach someone from the police station? Unless he refuses."
Flagg: "He is now the most capable detective in the West District Police Department, and even in the Los Angeles Police Department. No one in the West District Police Department is willing to let him go. Secondly, he is also very rich. I have checked his information before, and he has millions of US dollars in clean assets. Finally, he and his partner were transferred to the Los Angeles Police Department by Pepper Potts of the Stark Group. Do you know who she is?"
The subordinate was surprised: "Tony Stark's personal secretary? Luke is Stark's man!"
Flag nodded with a wry smile: "You know why I didn't try to recruit him? In fact, it's not just us. Several departments have the idea of recruiting him, including some operations departments of the FBI and CIA, and even Wells. But it's not that easy to poach someone from Stark personally."
The men also kept silent.
The Stark Group may not be the richest in the United States, but it has deep connections with town governments, the military, and the Department of Defense.
No one is willing to offend Stark, the playboy, for the sake of a small detective. When that guy gets angry, he won't give anyone face.
He was considered to be showing mercy by pointing at the other person's nose and calling him a fool.
More often than not, a certain young man would only look down on others with a caring look as if he were showing concern for the mentally retarded.
It is easy for the other party to feel deeply stupid because of his or her own lack of intelligence.
Who makes Stark a super genius? Who makes him super rich
Luke entered the main crime unit hall and went to find Elsa: "Boss, the two suspects who tried to kidnap Tony Stark were taken away by the FBI, did you know that?"
Elsa nodded: "I know, they have said hello."
Luke laughed and said, "In the bureau, aren't you afraid that the young master will get mad?"
Elsa chuckled: "The FBI communicated with the Stark Group first before bringing people here. Do you understand?"
Luke shrugged: "That's fine, I'm going out."
Elsa: "Wait."
Seeing Luke stop, she said, "The boss said that you performed well in this case, so I will assign you a new task."
Luke waited in silence.
Elsa didn't have time to chat with him: "Do you know that the Stark Industries trade show is going to be held soon?"
Luke nodded: "I know. It will officially open in two days."
Elsa: "So, you and Selina have been temporarily transferred to perform plainclothes security duties around the venue."
Luke's face drooped. "Is this a punishment?"
He had performed this security mission in Houston, and it was that stingy guy Borrick who made things difficult for him, and it happened to be related to Stark.
This kind of task is typically thankless. If something goes wrong you have to take responsibility, but if you do it well you should do it.
The key is that this task requires you to stay within the venue during working hours and you cannot be lazy, but the experience points may not be much.
Elsa: "Do you think I'm willing? The boss doesn't want to either, but Director Brad has spoken. What do you say we should do?"
Luke held his forehead with his hand and said, "The big boss is personally concerned about such a small matter?"
Elsa: "Originally I didn't care, but when the FBI came to take George and Crystal away, they followed the procedure from him."
Luke's mind turned and he understood.
The reason why Brad did this is that during every trade fair, there would be many small problems with the police and Stark Group's internal security.
In fact, there are very few problems at Stark Industries trade shows, but there are too many problems in the coordination between the two sides.
Chief Brad probably thought that two detectives had a close relationship with Stark, so he simply sent them to deal with this troublesome task.
Luke had nothing to say about this mission.
Could he still go and tell Director Blood, "Stark and I are really not familiar with each other"
He and Selina had no choice but to accept this new task and go directly to the scene to inspect the environment.
Stark's trade fair is a daily event, held every three to five years depending on the situation, usually between March and June of the same year. The purpose is to showcase new products that have been developed, making it easier for customers to buy them and kill more people.
The main business of Stark Group is arms and weapons, and its main products are high-value-added weapons such as missiles.
Other items such as firearms and ordinary heavy weapons are relatively rare, but they do exist. The occasional conceptual individual weapons launched will also attract a large number of military enthusiasts to watch the fun.
This is also the reason why public security in Los Angeles has deteriorated during this period.
At this time, the Los Angeles Police Department will draw some police forces from various district police stations to assist the East District Police Department in maintaining public order.
Those who actually buy missiles don't have much time and opportunity to create public security incidents on the streets.
And those gun enthusiasts are of all kinds, with a lot of black and gray talents, and they are the main force causing the deterioration of public security in Los Angeles.
For example, George and Crystal were originally there to see the trade fair, but because of an anonymous hire, Crystal, instigated by George, formed a temporary team and went to kidnap Stark.
What's even more bizarre is that the two men kidnapped Stark not for blackmail, nor did they intend to kill this playboy. They just wanted to imprison him for ten days and release him after the trade show.
Luke was not surprised at all by this kidnapping with strange requests.
Many times, if the backbone of a large group disappears, it may miss some major events and other competitors will gain certain benefits.
Anyway, it's just a matter of finding two crazy idiots to try it out. It's low-cost and risk-free, so many people don't mind doing it.
