Los Angeles Legendary Sleuth

Eight o'clock in the evening.

Luke rode his Harley to Daisy's house.

There were lights on in Daisy's house. Luke wasn't in a hurry and smoked a cigarette before going in.

As Luke entered, he saw Daisy gently descending from the second floor wrapped in a bath towel, "Just finished bathing?"

"I've been busy with a case all day, took a bath to relax a bit."

"What a pity, if only I'd come earlier."

Daisy walked to the coffee table, picked up a bottle of red wine, and poured a glass, "You've had quite a bit to drink today, want another glass?"

"Why not?" Luke took the wine glass and sipped the wine.

Daisy took out a delicate bag from under the coffee table, "Happy birthday."

Luke was a bit surprised, "Thank you, how did you know it's my birthday today?"

Daisy tilted her head slightly, "Please, I'm just busy with work, not stupid."

Luke opened the bag to find a delicate box with a crown logo, and inside was a beautiful Rolex watch.

The black dial, golden hands, gold edges, and leather strap made it look stylish, elegant, and upscale.

Daisy took the watch and placed it on Luke's wrist, "Do you like it?"

"Of course, I love it. I just never wanted to buy it for myself, was it expensive?"

"Not too expensive, just over three thousand US dollars.

I originally wanted to buy you a more expensive watch, but considering your missions, I chose this one."

Luke said, "I'll wear it during my vacation.

I wouldn't want to scratch a gift from you."

"No, this watch is meant for you to wear at work, don't worry about it, if it breaks I'll get you a new one."

"Now I finally understand why so many men like being kept, I'll wear it all the time," Luke hugged Daisy, and kissed her cheek.

"You smell strongly of alcohol, go freshen up first, I've prepared other gifts too."

"More gifts? What kind of thing?"

"You'll find out soon enough."

"You've successfully piqued my curiosity."

Luke had spent most of the day wandering around the pet store and indeed needed a good bath.

After taking a bath, Luke found that Daisy wasn't in the bedroom; she probably went to prepare the gifts. Luke wasn't in a rush and turned on the television.

He watched TV while waiting for her.

Moments later, the walk-in closet door opened, and Daisy emerged wearing a semi-transparent, lightweight nightgown, faintly revealing her graceful figure, black stockings, and lingerie beneath.

Already a great beauty, Daisy's delicate features and curvaceous body became even more irresistible when clad in such attire.

Daisy approached the bed, sat directly on Luke's lap, and whispered softly, "Do you like this gift?"

"All the surprises of today don't compare to this moment."

It was after ten o'clock, and two rounds of poker were done.

Halftime break.

Daisy went to the bathroom to freshen up, and Luke lay in bed watching TV.

Luke was part of the police management, not of a high rank, but his position was important.

He was currently following the news about Los Angeles closely. If it made the news, it wasn't trivial, and any murder-related cases could potentially involve Luke.

Luke flipped through several channels, all broadcasting the same news report.

Danny Carter, cornerback for the Los Angeles Rams, was apprehended by the Los Angeles Police Department on allegations of assaulting a 20-year-old female fan.

Americans adore sports, with the NBA holding the greatest international influence. However, domestically, basketball ranks only third, with American football taking the lead.

In February this year, the Los Angeles Rams won the Super Bowl, their first championship in 23 years, an event of grand significance to the citizens of Los Angeles, overshadowing even the US presidential election.

Danny Carter was a standout player in the Super Bowl, renewing his contract for four years at a salary of eighty million US dollars.

The bathroom door opened, and Daisy came out in her nightgown and lay down on the other side of the bed, "Are you following this case too, do you have any inside information?"

Luke chuckled, "No, I'm not involved in this case, just curious. Someone with money and fame like him shouldn't lack for women, so why the need for force?"

"Maybe he's innocent."

Luke looked at Daisy's tender cheek, "You're his fan too."

"No, I'm his lawyer."

"Really?"

"What's with that tone? Doubting my abilities?"

"No, it's just that you're still young..."

Daisy glared at Luke, "Lawyers rely on ability, not seniority, and besides, I started school early... is that not okay?"

"Of course, it's okay." Luke changed the topic, "This is a big case, there should be quite a commission, right?"

"Roughly estimated, it could be a few million dollars, but money isn't the main thing, the case's influence is more important."

"Then aren't you a little rich lady now?"

"It's not as simple as you say. Firstly, we have to win the lawsuit, and secondly, I'm just one of the lawyers in the team. There are two other female lawyers with more age, experience, and fame than me."

"All female lawyers?"

"Yes, having female lawyers on such cases gains more trust from the jury and is more persuasive."

Luke curiously asked, "So, did Danny Carter assault his female fan?"

"He admitted to having relations with the fan, but it was consensual."

"Do you believe him?"

"Of course, I'm his lawyer."

"What if you weren't his lawyer?"
