Fortunately, Steve's wound did not hurt the major blood vessels. After cleaning and suturing the wound, his life was finally saved.
After sending Jenny and Steve into the ward, and watching Jenny sitting there in a daze, Luke just put down the big bag containing various supplies, stuffed Jenny with some cash, and took Annie away.
When the two returned to the motel, it was already twelve o'clock at night.
After closing the door, Annie suddenly said, "I want to take another bath."
Luke hummed, not surprisingly.
Many people have been to the hospital and feel uncomfortable when they come back. They dare not lie down on the bed until they have gone through the process of washing their hands and taking a bath.
Annie took off her coat and turned to look at him: "Aren't you going to wash it?"
Luke froze for a moment, then chuckled: "I'm so happy."
After a while, there was the sound of drizzling water.
In the middle of the night, Luke raised his hand to take the mobile phone in his pocket next to him, and stared at the number on it for a moment.
Get up and go to the door, open the door, he connected to the vibrating mobile phone: "Nick?"
Over there, a hoarse voice sounded: "Luka Barton just set off with several people in an emergency, and they mentioned your name, you'd better be careful."
Before Luke answered, the other end of the phone hung up.
He frowned.
The call was made by the bearded Nick from the county police, but somehow he said something about Luca Barton.
Luke narrowed his eyes.
This is the site of the Los Angeles County Police, where the hospital is located, and the county police also provide police services for it.
So, the second-level deputy law enforcement officer of Luca Barton is here for... the case on the mountain
However, the bearded Nick specially called to inform him, and it was obvious that Law Enforcement Officer Patton's attitude was not very friendly.
Thinking in his heart, Luke had already returned to the house.
Looking at Annie who was sleeping soundly, he thought for a while, and put the clothes beside the bed back on for her.
Today, after being frightened and exercising strenuously for a long time, Annie, who was extremely tired, just muttered a few words, and was gently coaxed by Luke twice before letting him put on a T-shirt and sweatpants.
Then, Luke put on his clothes, packed his things, and closed the locked door to leave.
Instead of taking the stairs, he walked across the porch, jumped down at the end, and went to the back garage to drive the pickup.
The innkeeper here may not be very professional, or it may be because of the strong wind, heavy rain, thunder and lightning, that he cannot hear this small movement.
Luke drove the pickup just like that, and hid in several cars more than a hundred meters away.
More than an hour later, two county police cars pulled up to the motel.
Without turning on the police lights or sounding the siren, the two police cars stopped quickly, and then six county policemen rushed out of the car, exchanged a few words with the hotel owner waiting in front of the building, got the room card, and they went quietly Quickly approached the room Luke opened.
Then, the door of the room was opened, and several county police officers rushed in.
There was movement in the room from Luke's headset.
"Where are people?"
"He's not there, only the girl."
"Where did he go?"
"who are you?"
"Where's Luke?"
"Ah, I, I don't know."
…
The county police asked a few questions, but did not get any news from Luke, so they changed the subject and asked about the case of Steve being attacked.
Twenty minutes later, Luke ignited the ignition, started the car, and caught up with the county police car that had already driven towards the mountain.
Annie is fine.
These county policemen came after Luke.
Now that Luke disappeared, their behavior did not dare to be so rampant.
On the contrary, if Luke was blocked in the house just now, what these guys would do is unknown.
After these guys entered the door, they didn't say anything about their identities. They didn't report their names to the county police until they threatened Annie to tell him where he was going.
Luke is not an obedient policeman either. He is very clear about many irregularities in the actions of the county police.
In addition to the warning call from the bearded Nick, among these abnormal situations, a message was revealed: Luka Barton and the others came here, probably wanting to kill Luke directly, rather than arresting him.
Luke also thought about yesterday, when Old G called him, saying that someone found his forensic personnel and wanted to bribe them to destroy a certain forensic result.
It's a pity that the person didn't know that this report was a task sent down by the old g. The forensic officer didn't accept the bribe, and even disclosed the matter to the old g.
Obviously, the Esworth family really sent someone to Las Vegas.
Are the rich people nowadays not only black-handed, but also so irritable? He sneered in his heart.
If he failed to buy him, he asked the county police to chase him here and kill him. This kind of vengeance is much stronger than Luke's!
The county police car was hanging far away, and Luke was still thinking about their questioning just now.
He is professional in how to interrogate suspects and obtain the desired information.
There was something wrong with the interrogation of Annie by the county police just now.
In the case of Steve being stabbed by a bear child, they didn't care about the specific details, but they were repeatedly questioning where it happened.
This is very wrong.
In this kind of case, the location cannot be said to be irrelevant, but that is just a side issue. This is a mountainous area in the wilderness, and there are no landmarks. It doesn't make much difference where the case happened.
Why did the county police care about this crime scene
The county police car in front had already entered the No. 37 Middle School campsite, and rushed out of it not long after, driving towards the mountain.
Luke's doubts were even greater.
Are these guys really here to deal with me
I didn't find Luke in the hotel just now, so I'll look for it at the campsite of No. 37 Middle School, which is normal.
But what is the idea of running up the mountain in the middle of the night? Do you think Luke will flee to the mountain
How can this be.
Luke is not really a fugitive. Even if his brain circuit is a little strange, it is possible to go back to Los Angeles directly.
But going up the mountain in the middle of the night? Or in a thunderstorm day with strong wind and heavy rain, is it because he is afraid that there will be no accidents and he will die too slowly
Luke frowned and thought for a moment before slowly following.
More than half an hour later, Luke came to the Eden Lake campsite, and found that the county police car did not enter here, but moved forward without stopping.
He kept up.
By this time, he had already determined that the purpose of Luca Barton and the others coming here was not necessarily for him, otherwise they would have at least entered the campsite to take a look.
After driving another kilometer forward, he vaguely saw two county police cars parked in the distance.
Luke thought for a while, retreated the car into the woods on the side of the road, and quickly changed into the equipment in the car.
Following the thin and fragmented smell of several county policemen in the air, he followed.
The course of action of the county police showed that they came here with a clear purpose.
Silently following the county police several tens of meters away, and walked three to four hundred meters along a path that could only be walked, Luke saw a small villa in the forest.
From the actions of the county police, he knew that these guys had already drawn out their guns and moved towards the small villa.
