Being A Detective in The World of Film and Television

Chapter 686: coffee or tea, ro me? (2 updates)

Views:

Led by the servants, the two entered the main building of this luxurious manor.

Luke looked calm.

He was able to handle Tony Stark's sharp tongue with ease.

No matter how powerful Thompson is, can he be more powerful than Tony Stark

It is difficult for him to feel fear towards a big boss who has nothing special about him.

As a result… In less than half an hour, Luke and his companion were served tea and sent away by the host.

There is no such thing as serving tea to guests in the United States.

However, Rupert, the younger brother of the missing Miss Thompson, came out with an impatient look on his face, and after a few words, he said he was going to the back garden to drink coffee, leaving the two of them there.

Fortunately, Luke’s purpose had been achieved.

Before going for coffee, Master Rupert still agreed to Luke and his friend's request to visit his sister Beth's room, but they could only be "accompanied" by two maids, and they were not allowed to enter and leave the room at will or touch any personal belongings.

After getting out and getting in the car, Ginny looked at Luke apologetically: "I'm sorry, I didn't expect him to be the one to receive us."

Luke waved his hands, not caring at all: "At least he didn't spit on me, and he didn't take off his pants and shake his butt."

Ginny burst out laughing: "He's a young master, not a street thug."

Luke shrugged. "So his attitude is not bad at all. Even if it were ten times worse, it would still be the same."

Ginny looked at his expression and saw that he did not look angry. She sighed and explained, "Rupert was born to Malachy's current wife. Miss Beth was born to his first wife who has passed away, so..."

Luke hugged her: "I know. Don't talk about this young master. I don't like men."

When he heard this, he immediately understood why Ginny looked so lost.

It's hard to say whether Ginny's half brother will end up like this with her sister when he grows up.

Ginny hummed, but still frowned and shook her head. "But Malachy still... "values" Miss Beth very much, so why would he let Rupert, a playboy, come to receive us? It would be more reliable to let the butler send us away."

Luke rubbed her frowned brows and said, "Okay, if you frown for too long, you will get forehead wrinkles."

Ginny uttered an "ah" and immediately took out a small mirror from her bag and looked at her forehead. "It seems to be a little bit. God, I'm only 21 years old. I don't want to age so quickly."

Luke looked at her worried expression and said, "Then don't worry too much about other people's family affairs. I'll go find someone anyway. If I find someone, it will be good for us. If I can't find someone, we'll just proceed step by step. This is not a matter of life and death, don't worry too much."

Ginny was speechless: Only people like you would not take the development of a company valued at billions seriously, right

On their way back to Los Angeles, Luke decided to take a trip.

Rescuing Miss Beth Patrick Thompson was just a side goal.

According to what Ginny knew, the Thompson family also sent people to start looking for the eldest lady.

When Luke went over, the young lady might have been safe and sound, drinking coffee and basking in the sun in a five-star hotel.

Having money and power, the efficiency of this combination is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

And judging from the current situation of the mobile phone company, Ginny has entered the class of people who are both wealthy and indirectly powerful.

Using some connections, she easily got Luke on a private plane two hours later, flying directly to Warsaw, the capital of Poland.

Luke has already called Elsa to ask for leave.

Elsa just briefly mentioned Congresswoman Thompson's name and didn't ask any more questions.

There was no way she was going to stop Luke from expanding his network, especially with powerful congressmen like him.

And Luke's leave was not long, only two days.

Two days later it would be the three-day weekend of the American Independence Day (July 4th), and the police academy would also be on holiday, so he could put aside his task of observing the cadets.

Elsa just told him not to overdo it and hung up the phone.

There's no need to explain much about Selena, as the two of them had already negotiated it yesterday.

He just had to tell that little naughty Claire, otherwise she would definitely blame him for sneaking out to play.

It's another matter to go on a business trip openly after giving notice. She won't act unreasonably.

Sitting on the private plane, two flight attendants took turns asking Luke if he needed any services.

For example, two young and beautiful flight attendants had said something like "coffee, or tea".

Luke could only smile and say, "Give me a pot of tea, green tea is best."

These two certainly didn't come here just for the money.

His dressing style has always been low-key. You can see that he is not poor, but he doesn't look extravagant.

However, he was able to board this private plane alone. His appearance seemed handsome at first glance, but the more he looked, the pleasinger he looked. No wonder the two stewardesses were just about to say "or me".

After receiving Luke's clear rejection signal, the two flight attendants tactfully stopped disturbing him.

If they can do this, they can't be too stupid.

Some passengers may look forward to certain services, but some passengers with something else on their mind may be annoyed by this "harassment".

They don't want to give up this easy and high-paying job, which may lead to a meteoric rise someday.

Luke also got a quiet space and sat alone in his seat drinking tea and reading materials.

I have to say that in this regard, private jets are much better than passenger planes and do not waste any time at all.

Unlike the last time he went to Paris, Luke was now very strong and the jet lag had little effect on him. He couldn't fall asleep during the long journey.

During the nearly twelve-hour flight, he had ample time to learn a large amount of relevant information and make plans for the upcoming search operation.

It was already afternoon local time when Luke arrived in Warsaw, the capital of Poland.

The reason why he started from Warsaw was because Miss Bess of the Thompson family and her two classmates started their “travel on a whim” from here.

Miss Beth is an art student in the fine arts department of a university. During the holidays, she came to Europe with her teachers and classmates to sketch. She had previously told her family that she was taking advantage of the break from sketching to go out and travel for two days.

It is said that before she disappeared, she told her security guard that her destination was Prague.

This itinerary is normal.

When going to Poland, you must visit Warsaw.

When you go to the Czech Republic, you must go to Prague.

This concept is similar to when you go to Beijing, you usually visit the Forbidden City and the Great Wall.

In fact, she and two classmates inexplicably left the Warsaw motel early in the morning without notifying security, and they discovered she was missing hours later.

They could not be reached by cell phone and their car was parked in the hotel parking lot.

Only the empty room and the words of the hotel receptionist proved that they were not coerced but left on their own accord, and the surveillance footage also proved this.

Of course, Luke had no way of knowing these circumstances.

He didn't have a suitable identity in Poland, so most of the methods he used in the past to handle cases could not be used, which was a bit troublesome.
