Los Angeles Legendary Sleuth

"As long as enough evidence is found to make the police and the prosecution give up on prosecuting Danny Carter, it can prove that Danny Carter is innocent."

"I think this is very important, no team or fan would like a robust offender."

"As for civil lawsuit compensation, everyone knows what's going on, right?"

"If we settle now, everyone will still stand by Danny Carter's side, thinking that Lee Warwick is extorting and jumping bail, and no one would sympathize with her."

"Danny Carter is a public figure, a good reputation is beneficial to his long-term development."

Daisy said, "I have looked into many similar cases, and most clients choose timing over right or wrong."

"You might have a point, but there are also risks."

"A few million US Dollars in compensation is nothing compared to their fortunes."

"Wrapping up this case as soon as possible, they can free themselves from negative news and focus all their energy on their careers."

"A player's prime years are just three to five years..."

"From a risk and reward perspective, settling is the most advantageous."

"OK, I will take care of finding that stolen car, as for how to use the clues and evidence after they are found… You can discuss that with Danny Carter."

"I just want to get my commission."

"How are you planning to investigate? Using police resources?"

"No, since Danny Carter already reported the theft, the police are definitely going to track the stolen Porsche's whereabouts. Since the car hasn't been found, it indicates that this method is not efficient."

"Having proved this method ineffective, why should I repeat it?"

"So how do you plan to investigate?"

"Send me the detailed information of the car, and just wait for news."

"OK."

After dropping off Daisy at the law firm, Luke called Little Black to have dinner together.

If the police were to find the missing vehicle their way, they'd only check surveillance and locate the car's position, but since the police haven't found the car yet, it means both methods are ineffective.

One has to blaze a new trail.

Hotpot restaurant Seafood Pool.

Luke ordered a yin-yang pot of beef tallow and curry. Just after placing his order, there was a knock on the private room door.

"Come in."

The door opened, and Little Black came in smiling, rubbing his hands, "I like this restaurant. Not only do they have delicious hotpot, but their staff is also full of enthusiasm. Next time, I definitely have to bring Julian here to enjoy it."

Luke gave him a glare, "Don't show off your love life in front of a single man, that's unethical behavior."

The two clinked their beer glasses.

Luke put a dish of hand-sliced lamb on the table and said, "How's everything with the team these last two days?"

Little Black awkwardly chewed with his chopsticks dipped in sesame sauce, "All normal, we're still finishing up the case closure. How's your vacation? Missed me so soon?"

"Did you hear about the incident with Danny Carter of the Los Angeles Rams?"

"Yes, I originally quite liked him. Stocky little guy, who would've thought he's a scumbag, No, precisely speaking, a jerk.

"His brute strength shouldn't be used on a woman, and moreover on a female fan, that's too shameless."

Luke said, "I talked to him today, and he said he didn't force the female fan, that they were both willing to play poker."

"Did he lie?"

"I didn't see it."

Little Black, having partnered with Luke before, knew about his microexpression analysis skills and that his accuracy was extremely high. With his experience, a muscled guy like that couldn't fool Luke.

"Why would the female fan frame him?"

"I'm not involved in this case as a policeman, but as a detective, hence, I haven't interacted with that female fan."

"Danny Carter hired you?"

"After talking to him, I felt he might be wronged, and the commission is substantial, so I accepted the assignment."

"Sounds pretty good, do you need me to do something?" Little Black grabbed a chopstick full of lamb and started to eat heartily.

"On the night of the incident, Danny Carter went to the female fan's house, and he parked his car outside her door. When they finished playing poker, the car was stolen.

"The car's dash cam recorded their conversation, which could impact the direction of the entire case."

"You want me to find the car?"

"Is there anyone more suitable than you?"

Little Black showed an expression that said, "You really get me," "What kind of car?"

"Porsche 911."

"Wow… I like that."
