Los Angeles Legendary Sleuth
Chapter 919 - 423: A Chance Encounter (Double-Length Chapter)
This fight, Luke somewhat felt it was an unfair victory.
But the police focus on teamwork; outnumbering is fine as long as the suspect is caught safely.
Luke achieved this.
Aamir Khan had a wound on his chest, and Luke dared not move him easily, so he had him lie flat on the ground and immediately called 911.
Soon after, the NYPD, FBI, and ambulance arrived at the scene one after another.
Michael Jett looked at Aamir Khan lying on the ground and asked with concern, "Aamir, are you okay?"
"Not really, I almost got killed by this guy, it's the closest I've ever been to death in my life.
Li Advisor saved me."
Michael Jett then looked at Mo Shaohong sitting on the ground, whose face and forehead were dotted with bruises, "Seems like the arrest process was a bit twisty."
"Yes, he's a tough one." Luke briefly introduced the situation.
Even though Michael Jett was not on site, he could sense Mo Shaohong's ruthlessness; he would rush to Aamir Khan's side even if he got shot, while Aamir Khan's combat ability was almost zero, and could be subdued by Mo Shaohong at a glance, and once Aamir Khan was subdued, it's very likely he would be held hostage and used to escape.
Aamir Khan was being lifted onto a stretcher, saying, "I said it before, Mo Shaohong is a very planned person, he had already chosen his escape route.
The subway is crowded, making it difficult to implement an arrest and hard to use firearms. Plus, Mo Shaohong is a black market boxing champion, with extremely strong physique and fighting ability.
His chances of escaping are very high."
Michael Jett patted him on the shoulder, "OK, we will continue to investigate the case, you just focus on getting better."
"Wow… can you let go? That hurts." Aamir Khan cried out, gritting his teeth in pain.
"Sorry." Michael Jett released his hand, you sissy.
As Aamir Khan was being lifted onto the ambulance, he said to Luke, "Li Advisor, thanks for saving me.
Once I recover, I'll treat you to a drink."
"OK, focus on getting better." Luke responded half-heartedly, by the time you recover, I'll be back in Los Angeles already.
Michael Jett walked over to Mo Shaohong's stretcher, "Hey, buddy, take care, we'll visit you tomorrow."
Mo Shaohong raised his right hand and made a middle finger.
Michael Jett patted his left shoulder, "You're such a polite bastard."
Blood seeped out again from Mo Shaohong's shoulder, making him grimace and break out in a cold sweat.
Michael Jett watched Mo Shaohong being loaded into the car, and then walked to Luke's side, "Li Advisor, you didn't get hurt, did you?"
"No." Luke countered, "Have you found any evidence to convict Mo Shaohong?"
"He attacked a police officer."
Luke said, "You know that's not enough, you need to hurry."
Michael Jett of course knew, and he was worried about this, "Do you have any good ideas?"
Luke glanced at his watch, "I'm off work now, I don't get overtime pay.
You'll have to handle this case."
Michael Jett looked at Luke's back, "How about I treat you to a drink?"
"Finish the case first." Luke was just a consultant, why worry about the captain's duties.
Michael Jett called out to Luke's retreating figure, "Hey, want to visit Mo Shaohong tomorrow?"
"OK." Luke waved his hand and left.
Luke now felt that being a consultant wasn't bad, give some advice at the right time, without having to bear the responsibility if a case went wrong.
Michael Jett clapped his hands, "Guys, move fast and clean up the scene.
Louise, go order some food, we've got a long night ahead."
...
Luke returned home to find Li Zhaofeng had already prepared dinner.
Steamed turbot, steamed tender meat, century eggs, vinegar cabbage, donkey sausage, with rice as the main dish.
Most men living alone have good cooking skills.
Luke brought out the remaining half bottle of Luzhou Laojiao 1573 he had, last time when he went to the Yue Lai Yue Hao restaurant to find his cousin, he barely tasted it and still had plenty of wine left.
Luke poured two glasses of wine, ate a piece of donkey sausage, tasted good, very fragrant.
It has a special meaty aroma.
Looking at this sumptuous Chinese meal, Luke really felt a bit reluctant to leave.
The two of them clinked glasses.
Luke took a bite of turbot, the texture of this fish was nice, plus it only has one main bone.
As they ate and chatted, Li Zhaofeng asked, "How's the case going? Smooth?"
Luke said, "Not bad, I'm just a consultant, providing some strategic advice, not too stressful."
Li Zhaofeng put down his chopsticks, clinked glasses with Luke again, "This afternoon, I went over your income and expenses.
Your income last year was quite high, reaching 4.13 million US Dollars, but your expenses were not much, with a tax amount of 1.2 million US Dollars.
Apart from the police salary, the other incomes are not fixed, and the income sources are many, leading to a very high tax rate, which is not suitable.
I recommend you could start a company to offset some of the tax amount."
Luke asked back, "I'm just a cop, focused on solving cases, what kind of company can I start?"
"My suggestion is to start a Detective Agency under your name, since you already have a cooperative relationship with Pinkerton Detective Agency, you could in the future sign contracts and receive commissions in your personal Detective Agency's name.
Your commission will thus become the income of the company (Detective Agency), your airfare to New York this time can be counted as a business trip, and entertaining and dining expenses can also be reimbursed by the company.
