Lindsay once again showed an anxious and angry expression: "Mom, how did you become like this? You have no sympathy..."
Luke raised his hand: "You two, I think you'd better calm down. Simply hurting each other won't solve the problem."
As soon as he said this, the three members of the family looked at him in surprise.
That's not something a normal police officer would say.
Many times, when faced with such family disputes, the police would rather watch from the sidelines and then take the person back to the police in a fair and impartial manner.
The American police also understand that even a fair judge may find it difficult to judge family disputes.
If you get involved in a family dispute casually, you might just handcuff a drunk who beats his wife, and then the wife who is yelling at him for being beaten will pull out a gun and shoot herself.
When it comes to rich people, many police officers are even more reluctant to take action.
It is too easy for rich people to hire lawyers, but once the police interrupt or take action, they can easily be found to have made mistakes, which will be magnified infinitely and end up in big trouble.
Luke didn't care about this because he was not afraid of the other party hiring a lawyer.
He simply said, "Mr. Soderberg has stated his request, and Mr. Peterson has no objection, so we can go to the police station and sit in the interrogation room to discuss this matter slowly."
When he mentioned the interrogation room, his tone became slightly heavier and his eyes met the girl Lindsay's for a moment.
Lindsay's heart moved, and he suddenly said: "Then I require you to be present throughout the process."
Luke was a little strange. He didn't use any special abilities. This request was Lindsay's own idea.
But he didn't want to argue here.
For the police, the most annoying thing is to argue in public or watch others argue.
If this family really wants to argue, then they can go back to the police station and argue together in the interrogation room.
By then, Luke could still eat snacks and drink beverages and watch them quarrel to their heart's content.
This is not his original way of handling cases.
Countless tragic cases of senior detectives have told these later generations that this is the best way to deal with most family disputes.
Jeffrey, Lindsay, and Monroe all agreed with Luke's opinion, so Aurora couldn't do anything even if she wanted to make a fuss.
Luke signaled, and the six of them headed for the exhibition hall door.
As a result, when they reached the display wall near the entrance, three people came out from outside and happened to meet Luke.
Both parties were stunned for a moment, then they laughed and said almost at the same time: "Why are you here?"
"Investigate the case." Both sides answered in unison again.
This time, Luke raised his hand to signal the other party to speak first.
Detective Beckett on the other side said, "Let's go find Lindsay Soderbergh and Monroe Peterson to find out some information."
Luke smiled and said, "These two are parties involved in my case. They just happen to be going back to the detective station with us."
He winked at Beckett and nodded slightly.
Beckett understood immediately.
Everyone has gone to the police station, but she still can't question these two people!
What Luke meant was that he would not create any obstacles, and whatever he wanted to ask would depend on whether she had the ability to deal with the other party.
The two of them had a very quick conversation and eye contact, and the negotiation was completed in just a few seconds.
This was just the routine tacit understanding between detectives in handling cases, not a tacit understanding between the two.
There were three cars coming and five cars going back, and the group returned to the detective station in a mighty manner.
Luke had just asked Selina to send the four people to the interrogation room when Dustin called and asked, "What are you doing? How did you bring this plague... ahem, them back?"
He wanted Luke to get rid of the troublesome Soderbergh family, not to bring the matter back to the police station.
The Soderbergh family is not just any wealthy family in New York, and Dustin really doesn't want to have anything to do with them.
He had no choice but to take over the task assigned by his superiors.
In fact, the story of this family is quite well-known among the top police officers today.
No one in the branch wanted to get involved in family affairs, so they reported it to the headquarters immediately.
The Soderbergh family’s annual donations are distributed to the headquarters.
Now, if we want to clean up this family’s name, of course the headquarters has to do it.
Dustin let Luke and the other man go because he knew they had no psychological weakness towards rich people, and Luke was a rich man.
Secondly, the two of them have made great contributions, but there is no hope of promotion in the short term. With Dustin around, the other party can suppress them at best, but they can't make them lose their jobs, so the effect of suppression is naturally zero.
Seeing Luke's smiling face, he said helplessly: "Tell me, how can we send them away quickly?"
Luke took out a lollipop and ate it. He didn't forget to give one to Selina and Gold Nugget respectively. Then he said with a smile, "Why are we chasing them away? Since they are our police station's big clients, they are qualified to occupy an interrogation room. Just let them communicate slowly in there."
Dustin was stunned for a moment and asked a key question: "There has to be someone watching, right?"
He was really afraid that a fight would break out inside, which would lead to serious problems such as injuries or deaths.
Luke raised his hand: "I'll stay inside and just watch the show."
Dustin was speechless: So, you are intending to drag down this family
But he thought again, what else can he do if he doesn't delay it! Be the referee
This case has been pushed back and forth because no one wants to be the referee.
Dustin quickly sorted out his thoughts, nodded decisively, and raised his hand and pointed: "You can go and keep an eye on them. They can stay in the interrogation room as long as they want. I will ask others to give you a quiet space to handle the case."
Luke pouted: "Ok. Boss, remember to come on time for the party tonight and don't work overtime."
Dustin lowered his head and went back to processing the documents: "Just send them away first."
Luke chuckled: "From my observation, at least Mrs. Soderberg doesn't have much physical strength."
Dustin couldn't help but look up: "You know all this?"
He immediately understood.
Luke has a high level of knowledge and observation of the human body structure. It is not difficult for a shooting and fighting master to make such judgments, not to mention that he is also a policeman who is very capable of solving cases.
Thinking of this, Dustin felt more at ease.
It turned out to be a good idea to send Luke. This guy always thinks before he acts and rarely makes mistakes.
After Luke and the other man went out, he gave Selina some instructions and asked her to prepare some things for the party in the evening.
Selina looked at the shopping list on her phone and wondered, "Why is there no meat?"
There is still meat in the house, but it is basically frozen goods that are exclusive to Nuggets.
Today is Dustin Hill's first party in a few months, and also his first private party in New York. It would be a bit inappropriate to use the meat that has been frozen for several days to entertain people.
Luke and Selina eat fresh meat almost every day. The meat would only be kept in the refrigerator overnight at most. Any meat that was not finished in two days would become snacks and midnight meals for Bottomless Doghead.
Anyway, as far as the dog's taste buds are concerned, the taste difference between meat that has been frozen for one day or three to five days is almost zero.
In this regard, it is not as pretentious as humans.
In fact, most people can no longer tell the difference in taste whether a piece of aspic is stored for three days or five days a week.
