Given Luke's current status, many journalists want to cooperate with him, and it's not difficult to find a renowned journalist to work with, but famous journalists have their own pride, their own persistence, and their own inclinations.

They may not report news events the way Luke hopes.

For example, Pari Jones.

Pari Jones has always hoped to cooperate with Luke to get some valuable news from him. This woman has a certain influence in the news industry and has the ability, but she also has her own calculations. She and Luke are not on the same side and could sell out Luke at any time for profit.

So, their relationship is mutually exploitative. Luke has used her channels to report some news, most of which were false news, but these false news were beneficial to Luke and even at times became key to solving cases.

Frankly, he wants to find a compliant journalist to publish news as he requires.

Even if the news has personal bias.

Even if the news is not true.

...

Woodpecker Teppanyaki.

This Japanese restaurant was chosen by Nami Inoue, and they arranged to meet in a private room on the second floor.

After Luke arrived at the private room, Nami Inoue hurriedly got up from the tatami, "Captain Lee, it's an honor and quite surprising to receive your invitation so quickly."

"I saw you in the precinct courtyard today, and since I wanted to have some Japanese food, I thought I'd ask you to join for authentic Japanese cuisine."

Nami Inoue introduced, "This is an old restaurant specializing in Japanese teppanyaki and has been in business for over twenty years, older than me.

The owners are a couple, first-generation Japanese immigrants, and can be considered quite authentic teppanyaki."

Nami Inoue handed the menu to Luke.

Luke opened it, glanced at it, and ordered wagyu, oysters, intestines, chicken skewers, silver cod, scallops, foie gras...

Nami Inoue also ordered some dishes and asked for a pot of sake.

After the waiter left, Nami Inoue poured a cup of sake for Luke and said, "Captain Lee, is there something you want to discuss with me today?"

She knew Luke was currently participating in the investigation of a terrorist case as an FBI criminal investigation advisor, and likely wouldn't have the leisure to just dine with her.

Luke asked, "What do you think about today's press conference?"

"What you and Director Reid said was very good; the LAPD has made the best effort in the terrorist case, and I agree with your viewpoint that the officers' efforts deserve affirmation.

Although I am a journalist, I do not agree with those who deliberately distort news reports to gain attention." Nami Inoue sensed something and felt a bit excited inside.

Luke continued, "If I provide some information and need you to report as I request, would you be willing?"

"Is this considered cooperation between us?"

"Of course."

"Why me?"

"Why not you, or do you think you can't handle it?"

"No, I am confident in my abilities, but I am still young and only an intern journalist, without much influence.

Captain Lee, with your current status and position, you could entirely find a more influential, renowned journalist to cooperate with."

Luke casually replied, "I don't need to rely on a journalist's notoriety to expand news impact.

As long as the information is from me, even if a self-media person uploads it, it will cause enough attention."

Nami Inoue let go of her inner doubts and quickly said, "I am willing to cooperate with you."

Luke smiled, "We can try cooperating a few times first. If we can agree with each other's ways of doing things, we will continue to cooperate.

If our philosophies do not align, then we will terminate the cooperation."

"OK, I agree."

Luke raised his glass, "Let's toast to a pleasant collaboration."

"Cheers!"
