Selena looked over, but found no one.
Luke pointed at any time: "It's a bit of a coincidence that both of their cars are over there."
Even so, the two didn't care much.
This 50-story high-rise building houses more than 100 companies.
Even if some people have worked in this building for several years, they may not meet each other.
The two groups of people handled the case in the same building, perhaps separated by dozens of floors.
Waiting for the elevator to go up to the 32nd floor, the two found a lobby with a sign at the door saying: "Despair" Monroe-Peterson Art Exhibition.
Luke nodded: "It should be here."
The two walked into this place that was used as an exhibition hall, and looked at the few spectators inside, and there was a series of quarrels that were trying to keep down, but raised again and again.
After bypassing the display wall at the entrance, the two entered the hall and saw two couples arguing in the corner next to the floor-to-ceiling windows.
Well, this expression is a bit ambiguous.
In fact, it was a young girl and a middle-aged couple who were arguing, and behind the girl stood a middle-aged man with long hair and shaggy hair. He just raised his head and looked out of the window without saying a word. The quarrel around him looked indifferent.
The two of Luke looked at each other, then reluctantly pulled out the police badge wallet and hung it in front of them, and walked over.
It was Luke who said first, "Excuse me, who called the police?"
The woman in the middle-aged couple immediately turned her head: "What are you doing at the police station? You only sent someone now..."
At this time, she was so angry that she finally saw Luke's face clearly, and the complaints that she wanted to burst out were suddenly interrupted.
Luke had a faint smile on his face.
This is actually his typical expression at work.
The smile is neither too friendly nor alienated, with a polite and gentle attitude, but not too attentive.
This smile was like slightly warm boiled water, which made the middle-aged woman's raging anger suddenly drop a bit.
The middle-aged man beside her had better emotional control, and said at this moment: "My wife called the police."
Luke hummed, nodded and asked, "Is that Mrs. Aurora Soderbergh?"
The middle-aged man was a little surprised, but still nodded: "Yes."
Luke confirmed the identity of the reporter according to the procedure, and then continued to ask: "Excuse me, who is the scammer you mentioned when you reported the case?"
The middle-aged woman, Aurora, finally woke up from her short stupor at this moment, raised her hand almost without thinking and pointed to the opposite side: "This is the man, arrest him quickly."
This pie, really rich! Luke laughed in his heart, but said in his mouth: "Mrs. Soderbergh, unless this gentleman is a wanted criminal, we have no right to arrest him before the judge issues an arrest warrant."
Aurora was choked again, and immediately changed her words: "He hit me, now you arrest him immediately, and wait until the police station for interrogation."
As soon as she said this, the girl opposite her immediately yelled: "Mom, what are you doing?"
The middle-aged man beside Aurora also smiled wryly, took his wife's arm, and dragged her behind: "Sorry, my wife is a little emotional, and the two detectives don't need to pay attention to her words."
Luke still had a smile on his face: "May I ask who you are?"
"Jeffrey Soderbergh." The middle-aged man said, pointing to the girl opposite by the way: "This is my daughter, Lindsay Soderbergh."
Turning his fingers slightly, he pointed to the middle-aged man behind the girl: "This is Monroe Peterson, who is "supposedly" a painter."
In his tone, the second half of the sentence was slightly emphasized, and there was an obvious mockery in his expression.
Luke secretly praised in his heart: at least this man is not that stupid.
Of course, the rich have a strong position against the police.
But this is only a conclusion drawn from the overall probability.
When it comes to the actual case handling process, it is not uncommon for a rich second generation who drives a multimillion-dollar sports car to be stopped by a small policeman and issued a ticket.
The proportion of the police who can't get used to the arrogant rich is no lower than the proportion of ordinary people.
There are even some police officers who will issue top tickets.
This is the simple people's thinking of "Aren't you rich? Then make more contributions to society".
Now, Luke's performance after entering the door has clearly "hinted" Jeffrey that he is not here to be a rich man's thug, at least not on this occasion.
This is Jeffrey's idea.
In fact, even with Jeffrey's logic, he, who is poorer than Luke, is not qualified to let Luke be a "thug".
While suppressing his mad wife, Jeffrey said: "We suspect that Mr. Monroe-Petersen used improper means to gain our daughter's trust and let her pay a huge amount for the venue. Rental fees, so we want to go back to the police station with him and investigate."
He said it quite clearly.
Not as straightforward as Aurora, but the so-called "back to the police station together".
When they arrive at the police station, the effect of their annual donation of several million can be brought into play, without having to go through this little police detective who is not easy to talk to.
Rather than communicating with two low-level detectives here, Jeffrey wants to make a tacit deal with the upper echelons of the police station.
Compared with his wife Aurora, Jeffrey's anger towards the man who cheated his daughter was more fierce.
As long as evidence is found, he will not hesitate to send it to prison.
What a shit painter, what a shit abstract expressionist, if you have the ability, go to the prison and spend sunflowers.
Luke did not stop this request.
If the other party insists, he must do so.
If he doesn't do it, another patrolman will do it.
Rich people will always find cops who are willing to be goons.
He looked at the man behind the girl: "Mr. Monroe Peterson, what's your opinion on what Mr. Soderbergh said?"
Monroe finally turned his head to look at him, and suddenly laughed.
That smile seemed a little empty, like a self-deprecating smile facing the air: "No."
Luke shook his head in his heart.
His spiritual communication has discovered that the painter's mental state is not normal.
It is too much to say that one is insane, but it is also different from a normal person's sober state.
It seems that most of Monroe's thinking is floating in the unknown world, only a small part is still stuck in reality.
Luke suspected that if he changed the question just now to "Have you not taken your medicine", Monroe would say "No".
He could only nod: "Then please come back to the police station with us."
Lindsay, the girl standing in front of Monroe, became anxious: "Wait, he hasn't been in a good state of mind these days, how can he enter the police station? What he needs more is to rest or go to the hospital."
Aurora couldn't help drinking again: "I think he can go to a mental hospital, and I can pay all the medical expenses to let him heal there until he recovers."
