Chapter 268(2/3)
Colleagues around me also praised me for being selfless, but I could feel their alienation.
During that time, I had some self-doubt...
Then there happened to be an opportunity, and the captain of the first squadron of the Robbery and Murder Department was transferred.
At that time, the No. 1 Squadron's investigation style was a little out of line, and it was a well-known thorny department. Rhett hoped that someone could control the No. 1 Squadron and standardize the No. 1 Squadron's investigation methods.
So, I was transferred to the first squadron.
The current No. 1 Squadron has undergone great changes, and with you as an outstanding candidate for captain, it’s time for me to leave.”
Susan said in a sincere tone, "I recommended you to Rhett, and I believe you will do better than me."
"Thank you, Captain." Luke looked grateful.
Although even if Susan does not recommend Luke, Red may still let Luke take over as captain, but with Susan's recommendation, it is almost certain.
From a certain perspective, her opinion is important.
If she feels that Luke is not suitable, then Luke may not be able to take over as the captain of the first squadron;
Suppose that Rhett insists on Luke taking over. Once problems arise after Luke takes over, Rhett will bear a lot of responsibility.
So, this is the best result.
Luke asked, "Captain, did you get what you wanted?"
"So be it." Susan said, "I have been working in the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the past twenty years. Although I don't want to admit it, there are... many differences between us and ordinary police officers.
This time I took over as the captain of the 1st Squadron of the Robbery and Murder Division. I had the opportunity to have further contact with suspects, and I also experienced first-hand the difficulties of frontline police officers in handling cases.
I have known about these difficulties before, but the feeling of knowing and experiencing them are different.
The work during this period was very important to me and gave me the confidence to face the work of the Ministry of Internal Affairs with a better attitude and a more comprehensive perspective."
Luke smiled and asked, "If I make a mistake in the future, will you protect me?"
Susan was stunned for a moment, "Don't make mistakes."
"Thanks."
Luke was very satisfied with this answer.
…
eight pm.
Mezque wine.
"Cheers." The investigation of the case came to an end, and everyone came to the bar to relax.
In addition to a few people from the first squadron, Luke also called David.
David put down his glass and asked, "I heard you caught that poisoning bastard?"
Xiao Hei replied, "Yes, it's Mark Wei, the manager of the dead man on the talk show."
"Why did that bastard poison him?"
David was not an outsider, and Xiao Hei did not hide it, "The dead man on the talk show wanted to terminate his contract. This guy felt that he had been abandoned, so he wanted to take revenge on him."
"At first I thought it was really a random poisoning case."
"So are we."
Luke said, "By the way, there is one more thing I want to tell you. During our investigation, there was a talk show actor named Kenneth who lied about being the murderer for the sake of fame.
We applied to search his home and found a large amount of D substances, which we are going to hand over to your Anti-Crime and Anti-Drug Department.
In addition, we will also prosecute him for obstructing law enforcement official duties."
David said unconcernedly, "I'm not surprised at all that talk comedians take drugs.
It’s completely normal for these guys to smoke D in order to stay excited.”
Luke said, "Don't give him a plea deal."
David smiled and said, "He has offended you."
Xiao Hei drew a circle with his right index finger, "Everyone."
"I will take good care of him." David showed an expression of understanding, and then asked Xiao Hei, "Hey, I heard that you are getting married. Is it true?"
"Really, I will invite you."
"Damn it!" David showed an exaggerated look, "Are you crazy?"
"I'm very normal."
"Then the world is crazy." David was still in disbelief and took a sip of wine to calm down, "Who is the marriage partner?"
"You know him too."
"You've gone overboard, Julian?"
"Yes, it's her."
"Are you sure you're not fooling me?" David asked Xiao Hei, but his eyes glanced at the others.
Luke said, "It's true. Julian and Marcus have reconciled. Yesterday, they invited me to their house for dinner. The roasted lamb chops taste great."
David reached out and pinched Xiao Hei's face, "Why? What's wrong with you?"
"Hey, I'm normal." Xiao Hei ducked back, glanced around, and explained in a low voice, "Julian is pregnant, and I have to be responsible for her."
"God! I really find it incredible." David sighed with emotion.
The vice team raised their glasses and said, "David, you are not alone."
Jenny also raised her glass, “That’s what I want to say too.”
Xiao Hei said dissatisfied, "Hey hey hey, that's enough for you. Different age groups do different things. Don't always look at me in the same old light."
The vice team toasted again, "Bless you, I sincerely hope you don't follow in my footsteps."
Xiao Hei had a black line on his face, but he also knew that the deputy team leader was such a foul-mouthed person, so he just rolled his eyes and didn't bother to think about it.
You deserve to be the deputy team leader for the rest of your life, but I am different from you.
"Jingle Bell……"
At this moment, Luke's cell phone rang.
Luke glanced and saw it was Linda calling, "Hello, Mom."
"Where are you? Are you still investigating the case?" Linda's voice sounded anxious on the phone.
"No, I was drinking with my colleagues at the bar, what happened?"
"Jack hasn't come home yet. I went to the comic shops and fried chicken restaurants he often goes to to look for him, but I didn't see him.
I called my classmates’ homes to ask, but they didn’t know.
I can't find him."
"Where's Maggie? Does she know?"
"I have added Maggie's chat software before and sent messages, but she never responded, and I don't know the specific location of her home."
"Don't worry, I know where Maggie's house is. I'll go find Maggie and ask. Maybe she knows where Jack is."
Linda worriedly asked, "What will happen to him?"
"Don't worry, he might be playing with some friend and forgot to tell you.
I will find him." Luke comforted him a few more times, then hung up the phone.
"Guys, my brother didn't come home. My mother is very worried. I have to go find him."
Xiao Hei asked, "Do you want me to go with you?"
"not needed for now."
David made a gesture, "Call if you need anything."
"I will." Luke said goodbye to his colleagues and left the bar.
…
Twenty minutes later.
Kalai community.
A Mercedes-Benz G500 drove into the card community.
This community is not far from the Eno community, where Maggie's family lives.
Luke had never been to Maggie's house. The reason why he knew the location of Maggie's house was by chance.
At that time, Little Fatty and Maggie were secretly in love, and no one in their family knew about it. Luke, who happened to be returning to the community, saw the two of them walking on the road, showing off their affection.
Out of his responsibility as an older brother, and probably more out of curiosity, Luke followed him and found the fat man watching Maggie go home with a silly smile on his face.
Luke parked the car near Maggie's house, and as soon as he got out of the car, he noticed a sneaky figure near Maggie's house.
