Chapter 658: Tracing the Origin

Could it be that someone wanted to deal with him, but it was difficult to do so in Los Angeles, so he was lured to Las Vegas.

Thinking of this, Luke felt a sense of crisis.

Since he became a police officer, he has arrested many vicious criminals and offended even more people.

Luke calmed down and analyzed it carefully. He felt that this possibility was possible, but it was not very likely.

Luke arrived in Las Vegas yesterday morning. Thirty hours have passed now. If he is really here for him, the sooner he can take action, the better. If it takes longer, he may be attacked by Lu. Ke found that he was wary.

Just like now, it would be even harder to attack Luke again.

If it wasn't to deal with Luke, then someone was deliberately transferring him from Los Angeles. In other words, someone was causing trouble in Los Angeles, and this matter might have something to do with him.

Luke thinks this is more likely.

Thinking of this, Luke took out his mobile phone and dialed the number of the deputy team.

"Vice team, it's me."

"Luke, didn't you go on vacation? Why did you have time to call me?"

Luke didn't answer, but asked, "How is the team these days?"

"fine."

"Is there a new case?"

"not yet.

Even if there is, the case will be successfully solved under my leadership.

Don't worry, just have fun. "

Luke "..."

Judging from the deputy team's answer, there should be no problem with work.

Is it a private matter?

Luke dialed Linda's number again.

"Hi, Mom."

"Luke, why did you call suddenly? Is everything going well outside?"

"It went very well. How are you doing at home these two days?"

"Very good, why do you ask?"

"It's nothing. I just heard from my colleagues that there are gang conflicts in Los Angeles these days. Try to go out as little as possible."

"I see.

I just had a video chat with Grandpa this morning. He and Val are doing fine. I will call them later to tell them. "

"Has the little fat man's mood improved in the past two days?"

"It's not bad. At least I'm in the mood to go out and play. He just sent me a message saying that he would stay at a classmate's house that night."

Luke frowned slightly, "Which classmate?"

"George, a short white boy with freckles on his face, the two of them are often together."

"Did he only send messages and not make calls?"

"No."

"When did he send the message?"

"It's been more than two hours, is there any problem?"

"No, I just have something to ask him about. I will contact him myself."

"Okay, stay safe out there."

"I know." Luke said and hung up the phone.

The whereabouts of the little fat man are somewhat suspicious.

Could it be that someone wanted to deal with the little fat man, so he took himself to Las Vegas?

Luke thought about it and felt that it was unlikely. He knew the little fat man too well. His social interactions were very simple and he was unlikely to cause too much trouble.

Even if he makes a mistake and offends someone, it shouldn't be a big problem if he has his brother to support him.

It's not like people would mobilize all their troops to deal with him.

Could it be that someone kidnapped the little fat man to threaten him?

Luke felt that this possibility existed.

If something really happened to the little fat man, the person who sent the text message should not be him, and he should have been tied up for at least two hours.

It stands to reason that the robber should contact him.

Or maybe the robber’s target is not him?

Besides himself, what other unstable factors are around the little fat man?

A person suddenly appeared in Luke's mind - Maggie.

As far as Luke knows, Maggie's family moved to Los Angeles three years ago. She has been living with her father and has been very stable for three years.

Maggie's aunt came here some time ago and left suddenly recently.

Is there any connection between the two?

Thinking of this, Luke immediately contacted Orti, Matthew and FBI subordinates and asked them to help investigate Maggie's information.

Luke did not contact the little fat man rashly. If the other party was fine, there was no need to contact him.

If the little fat guy is really being controlled by someone, and he takes the initiative to contact him, the other person will probably be alert.

"Jingle Bell……"

Just then, Luke's cell phone rang.

Luke glanced at it and saw that it was an unfamiliar mobile phone number.

He hesitated for a moment, then pressed the answer button, "Hello."

"Brother, it's me." The little fat man said in Chinese.

Luke hesitated for a moment, "What's the weather like today?"

"The weather is good today, quite windy and sunny." The little fat man replied.

This was the slogan agreed upon by the two, proving that the little fat man was safe.

Luke breathed a sigh of relief, "Whose mobile phone number is this?"

"George's, I'm at his house now."

"Why did you go to George's house suddenly?"

"I just want a change of scenery and some relaxation."

"Then why did you call me from George's cell phone?"

The little fat man lowered his voice, "I feel something is wrong..."

"What's wrong?"

"I felt like I was being followed."

"How did you notice it?"

"There is a black Honda car parked outside George's house. I think I have seen this car near our house."

"Are you sure it's the same Honda?"

"yes."

"What's the license plate number?"

"6ueb298."

Luke was a little surprised. How could his brother's anti-reconnaissance ability be so strong? Not only did he notice that he was being followed by a vehicle, he was also able to think of using other people's mobile phones to make calls. He had never been taught this before.

"Who did you learn these things from?"

"Maggie taught me."

"Why did she teach you this?"

"She said you are a police officer and you may have enemies. She told me to learn to protect myself."

"What else did she teach you?"

"Maggie knows a lot of things. Do you remember the shooting in our school?

After the gunshot, the whole school was in chaos, but it was Maggie who led me out of the school.

She was super calm and cool. "

"Why did you and Maggie break up?"

"Can I not say it?"

"Is it a matter of principle or a common conflict between couples?"

"It's just a little conflict. In fact, I didn't expect that she would break up with me at all."

"So, she may be breaking up with you just to break up."

The little fat man was silent for a moment and then asked, "Do you think Maggie had other reasons for breaking up with me?"

Luke asked, "Do you think Maggie has something to do with being followed?"

"I don't know..." the little fat man said, as if he had guessed something, "Did Maggie encounter trouble and that's why she left Los Angeles?"

Luke said, "I don't know either."

"Brother, when will you return to Los Angeles, can you help me find Maggie? I'm very worried about her."

Luke said, “Worry about yourself first.

Later, I will send someone to protect you and mom. You don’t have to worry about Maggie’s matter. I will investigate. "

The little fat man said anxiously, "How can I ignore it? What if Maggie is in danger?"

“Listen, don’t mess around now.

First of all, we can't tell for sure if Maggie is in trouble, or maybe I'm wrong.

Secondly, if someone is really following you, the purpose is probably to find Maggie. If you act randomly, you may harm Maggie instead.

I said, I will handle Maggie's matter.

All you have to do is protect yourself and your mother so that I don’t have to worry about anything, do you understand? "

The little fat man was silent for a long time, "I understand, I will protect myself.

You go find Maggie with all your strength, don't worry about us. "

"OK, it's settled." Luke said and hung up the phone.

The little fat boy was not kidnapped, just followed, and Luke was relieved.

It is also basically certain that Luke was transferred from Los Angeles, probably related to Maggie.

Luke guessed that Maggie should be safe now. If Maggie was in danger, she would most likely ask him for help. This was also the reason why the other party transferred him out of Los Angeles.

Another point is that if the other party achieves its goal, there is no need to follow the little fat man anymore.

Luke did not contact Maggie directly. He was waiting for a call from Orti or Matthew to see what they found before communicating with Maggie.

Soon, there was a reply from Matthew.

Maggie was born in New York City. His father and mother divorced, and her mother still lived in New York. She came to live in Los Angeles with her father.

Her father, Walker Cullen, is an elevator maintenance worker with no criminal record. He has a black off-road vehicle in his name with license plate number 3lra198.

Speaking of the black off-road vehicle, Luke suddenly remembered something.

Not long after Luke moved to his new home, he invited his family to a gathering. Maggie also came. In the evening, Maggie's father drove a black SUV. At that time, Luke smelled the smell of disinfectant on his body.

This information was a bit simple, and Luke didn't see anything wrong with their father and daughter.

After a while, Orti also called and the information she received was similar.

FBI senior agent Armand Haines was the last to call.

After the phone was connected, he said, "Minister Li, I have already checked the person you asked me to check."

Luke asked, "Do you have her details?"

"Sorry, I can't find her information in the system."

"Where is her father's information?"

"nor."

Armand Haines was silent for a moment and said, "I feel that it is probably because my authority is insufficient."

Luke asked, "Does Secretary Lynne Blois have enough authority?"

"It's likely that other departments are involved, so it's best to go to the supervisor."

"Understood." Luke responded and continued, "Amon, I am in Las Vegas now. My family in Los Angeles is being followed and may be in danger. I need you to send agents there. protect them.

Pay attention to a black Honda car with license plate number 6ueb298.

I will tell you the details after I contact the supervisor. "

"Do we need to arrest the stalker?"

"We don't need it for the time being, just protect it secretly."

"Okay, I'll do it right away."

"Who are you?" With this question in mind, Luke dialed the number of Ayesha Garde, head of the FBI's Los Angeles branch.

"Hi, I'm Ayesha."

"Director, I'm Luke."

"Is there a problem?"

"I'm in some trouble..." Luke briefly explained the situation.

"Are you in danger in Las Vegas?"

"Not yet."

"I will give you the contact information of the FBI agents in Las Vegas soon, so you can contact them directly."

"OK."

After a while, Ayesha Gard said, "I checked Maggie's information.

Her real name is Maggie Baruch.

She joined the witness protection program with her father three years ago."

"Supervisor, what case did she join the witness protection program for?"

"After they join the witness protection program, all their information will be managed by the Marshals Service, and I can't find it here.

This is also for the safety of witnesses."

Luke said, "If I'm not mistaken, their identities are likely to be exposed and targeted."

Ayesha Gard said, "I will contact the Marshals Service to see if they have a response plan."

"Okay."

After hanging up the phone, Luke couldn't help but sigh. He didn't expect Maggie to have this identity, but thinking about it, it made sense. This series of things made sense.
