"Do you have evidence of your affair with her?"
"What do you plan to do?"
"You don't need to know."
"I rember the ti and place of each date, and the hotels where we booked rooms."
Luke took out paper and pen, "Write down the ti and place of each date, and besides, I need you to disappear for a few days, absolutely no contact with Billie Worry."
"I only agreed to answer questions, I never promised to do anything for you."
"Wait," said Luke, and under Quentin Hagsk's puzzled gaze, he returned to his rcedes, and when he ca back out, he had an envelope in his hand, which he threw to Quentin Hagsk,
"Write down the details of your dates, and this money is yours."
Quentin Hagsk opened the envelope and saw, "You think you can buy off? Hush money?"
"No, it's informant pay. Starting today, you are my informant."
"Hold on, I never said I wanted to be your informant."
"If you refuse, I will arrest you for assaulting a police officer."
"You can't do that!"
"You can try to see if I can't."
Luke only had one informant now, which wasn't nearly enough. After all his trouble, he couldn't let Quentin Hagsk off easily.
Turning him into an informant now also saved the trouble of him talking elsewhere.
Quentin Hagsk looked at the envelope again, "Do I get paid like this every ti?"
"Of course."
"This much every ti?"
"That depends on the difficulty of the mission."
"What do you plan to do to Billie Worry?"
"The first rule of an informant, don't ask what you shouldn't."
Quentin Hagsk was clearly not yet a competent informant, pressing on, "Are you trying to make Billie Worry drop the lawsuit?"
"You know about this?"
"Yes, her boyfriend and I are colleagues, they're preparing to sue in civil court, seeking a big sum of money.
If she finds out I'm helping you, she will definitely hate ."
"First, I only want to use this information to reach a settlent with her.
Second, do you want to continue sleeping with her? Aren't you afraid she will accuse you of rape like she falsely accused Danny Carter?"
"OK, I can give you the information, but I won't testify in person."
Quentin Hagsk looked at the envelope and picked up the pen from the ground...
...

Daisy's phone rang, a voice ssage from Luke, "I've gathered so evidence that might be useful to you."
Daisy clicked to see, it listed the tis and places that Billie Worry had liaisons with other n during her relationship with her boyfriend.
This evidence was important, Daisy asked, "Can you get the man Billie Worry cheated with to testify?"
"No, he's unwilling to testify.
However, I can make him disappear for a few days."
Daisy smiled, "OK, I understand what you an."
Luke said, "Additionally, according to the information I got, the reason Billie Worry decided to file a civil lawsuit for compensation is also significantly influenced by her boyfriend's instigation."
After a few more words, Daisy hung up the phone.
Daisy continued to delve into the docunts, researching information about Billie Worry's boyfriend.
