Chapter 153 Tracking (five thousand)(1/3)
Metzk Bar.
In the evening, the No. 1 Squadron of the Robbery and Murder Division had a party at the bar.
As soon as Luke walked into the bar, he caused a commotion.
Jones, captain of the 1st Squadron of the Anti-Crime and Anti-Narcotics Department, picked up his wine glass and said jokingly, "Hey, here's to our lone hero."
Other police officers also cheered and raised their wine glasses to signal.
Luke said, "Captain Jones, although I respect you very much, if you mention the word lone hero again, you will still get beaten."
"What a rebellious boy, but I like him. If you want to change jobs one day, you can consider joining the Anti-Crime and Anti-Narcotics Department." Jones has a good impression of Luke. Strictly speaking, he still owes Luke a favor.
When Luke was investigating the will, he found David's wife Lindsay and her boyfriend Logan Salmu. Luke found a large amount of drugs in Logan Salmu's house and later handed them over to Jones' squadron.
Susan smiled and said, "Jones, don't poach in front of me, otherwise, you won't be the only one who beats you up."
This time, Luke was in the limelight due to the shooting at the school Y, so it was inevitable that he would be teased by his colleagues.
Luke didn't take it to heart. Americans like to tease others with humor.
Being ridiculed is not a bad thing. Some people ridicule the commander-in-chief, but no one dares to openly ridicule black people, gays and women.
if you serious you lose.
After the shooting incident and the press conference, Luke's popularity increased, and many police officers came over to say hello.
The group simply chose a small cubicle in the corner, which was cleaner and more convenient for chatting.
The deputy team member picked up the beer and said, "Boy, congratulations on becoming famous."
Luke also picked up a beer and clinked glasses with his teammates, "This is not my original intention, and I don't want to be famous."
David said, "For a police detective, being too famous is not a good thing. At least that's what I think. It's easy to be targeted."
The deputy captain smiled and said, "That's because there's something wrong with the way you handle things. Even if you're not famous, you're still easily targeted, right captain?"
Susan said, "I've had a great time getting along with David since I took over as captain."
"I don't mean now, but when you were working in the Ministry of Internal Affairs."
Susan spread her hands and said, "I'm just doing things in accordance with the regulations. There's no problem with anyone."
The deputy snapped his fingers, "This is what I want to say. David's way of doing things can easily violate police regulations. If he becomes famous, he will fall into trouble sooner or later.
But Luke is different. This kid is capable and smooth enough, and it is difficult for others to catch him. Plus, he is famous and can easily be promoted by his superiors.
I have a hunch that he will be promoted again soon.
Luke's deputy!
Wow, that sounds really harsh."
Xiao Hei said in surprise, "Vice Captain, are you serious?"
The deputy said, "Based on my forty years of police experience, this possibility is very high."
Xiao Hei asked, "Since you are so experienced, why..."
"Stop, I know what you're going to say." Before Xiao Hei could finish, he was interrupted by the deputy team member, "A few years ago, I attended a party, and a group of us were talking loudly. The richest one
But people rarely talk to me.
After the meeting ended, I heard him complain, "These poor people know so much.
Yes, I am the poor guy he calls me.
Sometimes it’s not enough to just understand, but to be able to do it.
The most important thing is luck.
Some people always say that the harder you work, the luckier you will be.
In fact, it should be the other way around, the luckier you are, the harder you work.
Some people don’t even have a chance to work hard.”
Xiao Hei's words touched the deputy team's sore spot and made him sigh with emotion.
Luke wanted to hear his immediate superior's opinion on this matter, "Captain, what do you think?"
Susan ate a nut, thought for a while and said, "If a general case becomes famous, I think there are advantages and disadvantages.
But if it's because of a school Y shooting that makes you famous, the advantages definitely outweigh the disadvantages.
Not only did you grab the hotshot and maintain campus order, but more importantly, you saved a seriously injured student.
Not only will you gain favor from students and gratitude from parents, but even the entire city of Los Angeles will have a favorable impression of you.
This kind of software can easily help people gain points, establish a positive image, and is also helpful for promotion."
Luke nodded. He and Susan had similar thoughts. If it was a general murder, he might not attend the press conference, but a school Y shooting can easily gain favor and a positive image from the public.
This image may not be of much use in China, but it is different in Los Angeles.
From the commander-in-chief to the mayor, if you want to sit in that position, you must establish a good image and gain the favor and support of the people.
When people think of school shootings, they think of Luke.
The more cases Luke solves, the greater his influence will be.
When his reputation reaches a certain level, he will be asked to help with the mayoral election.
By that time, Luke's influence was far beyond that of a police officer.
He will enter a new level.
Of course, it's still a little early to say this, but he already has a good .asxs...
…
The next morning.
Luke was woken up by the system beep.
[Congratulations to the host for successfully detecting the 'School Y Shooting' and winning 20 lottery opportunities.
The host saves a victim, earns the gratitude of the victim and his family, and is awarded five lucky draw opportunities.
The host successfully countered the malicious distortion of the media, reversed the image of the police department among citizens, and awarded ten lottery opportunities.】
After receiving thirty-five lottery opportunities at once, Luke felt like he was getting rich again.
lottery!
The pointer moves...
After drawing 35 times, I won four cards and $31,000.
Among them are two old cards, one precision card and one micro-expression analysis card.
Two new cards, boxing cards [Learning cards, can quickly learn and understand boxing skills, valid for three hours.]
This is the fourth type of study card Luke has received.
Luke prefers getting study cards to other types of cards.
Because once you learn the skills on the card, they will become your own skills forever.
Previously, he obtained a pistol card, which allowed him to improve his marksmanship in a short period of time. His performance was particularly outstanding in the shooting. He hit the suspect's arm both times, which not only made the suspect lose his combat effectiveness, but also did not affect the case.
investigation.
Of course, if the suspect is dangerous enough, Luke will also shoot him in the head.
Observation cards allow Luke's observation ability to become stronger and stronger, allowing him to discover subtle clues in files, which is a very practical skill.
The micro-expression analysis card allows Luke to understand people's true emotions. Although it is not useful for everyone, it is still a practical skill and can be used not only at work, but also in life.
Now Luke has obtained a boxing card and can learn boxing quickly.
Luke himself knows how to box, but he is just a little better than ordinary people and cannot compare with amateurs, let alone professionals.
Now he has drawn two more boxing cards, which can greatly improve his actual combat ability.
It is also a very practical card.
Luke was in a good mood, brewed a bag of instant coffee, and stood in his courtyard drinking coffee.
Owning a small courtyard of his own has always been his dream.
In the early morning, the cool breeze blows, the sky is clear, the green lawn, and leisurely drinking coffee have always been the life he wanted.
Luke took a look and felt that there was something missing in the courtyard.
We still need a table and chairs. It would be more comfortable if we could sit and drink coffee.
Just do it as soon as you think of it. Luke has a day off today and is going to the supermarket for a big purchase.
Having just won another $31,000, Luke's total assets are now as high as $410,000.
Isn’t the joy of making money just for spending?
Luke has always liked those bamboo and rattan tables and chairs. They are light, cheap, and non-polluting. Moreover, he lives in a Chinese community and does not look out of place.
