Orty pointed at a plate of yellow dish, "What is this?"
"Little crispy at, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, perfect for hotpot."
Orty ate a piece of the crispy at and nodded slightly, "Why did you ask here today?"
"It's about the art theft case at the Getty Museum."
"Is the Robbery and Murder Departnt also investigating this case?"
"Another case I'm investigating might be related to this one; the two cases might be rged for investigation."
"Congratulations, if you find those ten paintings, you'll be rich."
"It's not that easy; this case is more complicated than imagined."
"What do you want to do?"
"I want you to help find out which forces are investigating the art theft case."
Orty shrugged, "Are you worried soone else will find the paintings first?"
"No, that's not the point. Soone is impersonating Robbery and Murder Departnt detectives to contact the victims of the art theft case. I suspect they're also looking for the paintings' whereabouts, and I want to know their identity.
If not stopped, they could tarnish the Robbery and Murder Departnt's reputation, causing unnecessary trouble."
Orty gasped from the spiciness and took a large gulp of the plum juice on the table, "The hotpot is delicious, but too spicy. Will I get pimples tomorrow?"
"You can dip into the curry pot next to you."
Luke had a way to cool her down, but it was sothing that could be understood but not spoken.
Orty shook her head, "I still want to eat this spicy one; it's super exciting."
"Then drink more plum juice." Luke also favored the spicy hotpot base; eating this base made other flavors seem less satisfying.
Orty speculated, "You suspect detectives are impersonating Robbery and Murder Departnt mbers?"
Luke wiped his mouth, "It's very likely. If they were from other law enforcent agencies, they could legitimize interviewing the victims without needing to impersonate Robbery and Murder Departnt detectives."
"What's in it for to help you gather information?"
"How about I take you to a Michelin restaurant next ti?" Luke had case funds, and since it was for the Robbery and Murder Departnt, he naturally wouldn't pay out of pocket.
"It's all about als, als, and more als; do I really look like a foodie?"
"What do you want in return, then?"
Orty thought seriously, "Twice."
Luke "..."
...
The next morning.
After arriving at the police station, Luke went directly to technical services.
Yesterday, to avoid any complications, Luke called Georgia Gray to the station for holding.
However, since many pieces of evidence were still awaiting results, Georgia Gray couldn't be convicted yet.
That's why Luke arrived early at technical services to inquire.
After finding Mary, he handed her a bag, "Brought you breakfast."
"Thanks." Mary was sowhat surprised. She opened the bag and exclaid joyfully, "Fried dough sticks, tea eggs, soy milk.
Wow, I haven't had these in a long ti.
My grandmother used to make fried dough sticks for during the Chinese New Year, but she stopped because her legs and feet haven't been convenient these past couple of years."
"Does your family still celebrate the Spring Festival?"
"Of course, dumplings in the morning, tangyuan at lunch."
Luke "..."
"My dad is from Yuezhou, my mom is from Jizhou. Technically, I'm half Yue and half Ji."
Luke "..."
I didn't realize you had a humor cell.
"How's the micro-cara restoration?" This piece of evidence was what Luke valued most. The reason was simple; the micro-cara was severely damaged, obviously deliberately smashed.
Mary took a sip of soy milk and said, "The micro-cara is too badly damaged, almost impossible to restore.
However, we recovered the videos stored on the mory card."
"What are we waiting for?" Luke was sowhat eager to see the content of the video.
Mary handed a USB drive to Luke, "Take it back and watch; don't disturb my appetite."
Luke took the USB drive back to the Unit One office and projected the video content directly.
In the video, a naked man swung in front of the cara, seemingly adjusting its angle.
At this mont, a woman in lace pajamas entered the fra as well. The two seed to be arguing, but without sound, their conversation couldn't be heard.
During the argunt, the appearances of the two were revealed, the man was Kilo Jones.
The woman was Georgia Gray.
Their argunt was intense, and from their body language, it seed the woman targeted the cara, but the man blocked her.
The man pushed the woman to the ground.
The woman was agitated and ran toward the bed, pulling a black gun from the nightstand and pointing it at the man.
The man waved his hands, seemingly explaining sothing, slowly approaching the woman. Suddenly, the man collapsed to the ground without warning, blood gushing from his chest...
Dammit, got tricked by this woman again.
