Los Angeles Legendary Sleuth

Under the surprised gaze of the white man, the dark face moved away and raised a black handgun, "LAPD, raise your hands.

Then open the car door, yes, slower, just like that..."

Under the guidance of the black man, the white man opened the car door, "Hey, I'm just parking here, not doing anything illegal."

The black man asked, "What's your name?"

"Elwin Lima."

"Why are you here?"

"I'm here to see a friend."

"What's your friend's name? Which house do they live in?"

"This is America, a free country. It's not illegal for me to be here. I refuse to answer your questions."

"Tonight, an officer received a threatening letter. I'm protecting him and happened to see you driving and following him.

I'm going to search you.

Hands on your head, lie on the car."

The black man pressed him against the car and conducted a routine search.

Elwin Lima protested, "Hey, you have no right to do this. I've never threatened any officer. I just ended up in the wrong neighborhood, just passing by."

The black man pointed to the binoculars inside the car, "Liar, you don't need this just to pass by, let alone peep into someone's house with it."

"I didn't. This is a misunderstanding. I can explain."

The black man holstered his gun, questioning, "OK, you better have a good enough reason to convince me."

Elwin Lima relaxed when he saw the black man holster his gun, and then he looked behind the black man with a terrified expression.

The black man glanced backward with the corner of his eye, seemingly to confirm the safety behind him.

Taking advantage of this gap, Elwin Lima turned and ran.

The black man didn't chase him, muttering, "Idiot."

In the dark, Elwin Lima ran recklessly. Ahead, a man with black hair blocked his escape path, "Fuck! Get out of my way."

He shouted, his steps not stopping, swinging his right hand as if to push the black-haired man aside.

The black-haired man stepped aside, hooked his right leg, just in time to block Elwin Lima's ankle.

Elwin Lima immediately lost his balance, falling to the ground face-first.

"Ah!

Fuck..."

Elwin Lima shouted, cursing, propping himself up on his hands to get up, seeing the black-haired young man chasing after him seemingly to catch him, he swung his right fist at the black-haired man's left cheek.

The black-haired young man moved agilely, slightly turning to avoid his punch.

Then, the black-haired young man also retaliated with a punch, his speed very fast, landing a punch on his right cheek.

With a "bang," Elwin Lima fell to the ground.

The black-haired young man directly straddled him, "bang bang" gave another two fierce punches, muttering, "Congratulations, now you've got an additional charge of assaulting a police officer."

"I didn't assault an officer, I just wanted to escape." Elwin Lima spat blood on the ground, with two teeth knocked out.

"But in fact, you did attack me."

The black man said, "That's right, I saw it. In your attempt to escape, you tried to assault an officer.

Elwin Lima showed an angry expression, "Bastards, you two are in it together."

Luke turned him over, pressed him to the ground, and handcuffed him, "No one forced you to run, you did it yourself."

Luke scrutinized the face of the white man, confirming he didn't know him, but he was likely the one who left the envelope at his doorstep judging by his build.

"Who are you?"

"I already said, my name is Elwin Lima."

"Why did you leave a threatening letter at my door?"

"I didn't leave any threatening letter. I was just passing by this neighborhood by chance."

Luke said, "I'm a police officer. Do you think our house might not have surveillance?

The surveillance clearly showed you leaving the threatening letter at my door.

Elwin Lima denied, "That's not a threatening letter."

"Admitting that you left it. What is it then?"

Elwin Lima showed a frustrated expression, glared at Luke, and then stared intensely at Daisy.

Daisy also approached to scrutinize Elwin Lima, with her long, curved eyebrows slightly furrowing, "I know him. He was a defendant in a case I handled."

Luke asked, "What case?"

"A divorce case. He cheated and domestically abused my client, a complete bastard."

Elwin Lima suddenly lifted his head to retort, "Shut up, you bitch, I didn't domestically abuse anyone. It was a misunderstanding."

Daisy said coldly, "But in fact, you did use violence, and your wife was injured. This is clearly seen in the surveillance footage."

"Surveillance can't represent everything. I was just too angry at that time, lost control, and accidentally hit her.

Before, I never touched her. You can't easily conclude I'm an abuser. I wasn't like this before. She pushed me."

Daisy shook her head, "You were the one who cheated.

She just cornered you at the hotel entrance, questioning your relationship with that woman. Then you got enraged and assaulted her.

I want to ask, who was in the wrong in this matter?"

"I was just too impulsive at that time, accidentally hitting her. Who can guarantee they'll never make a mistake in their lifetime? I've already admitted the error to her and promised not to hit her again.

I'm sincerely trying to change. Why not give me a chance?"

"Your wife has long known about your affair with that woman. She didn't even want a divorce. It was only after you hit her that she was completely disheartened.
