As a result, Luke regretted it.
The lunch Selena bought for lunch was fine, just a regular burger and fries, but what the hell was the ice cream? It was strawberry flavored.
But the words were already out, Selena was staring at him hungrily, so he could only smile bitterly and eat the girlish ice cream with a pink heart pattern.
The following week's vacation was very relaxing, and Luke was in a neither good nor bad mood.
Although I gained a lot of experience points this time, something not so good happened.
Luke found that his arms were a little stiff.
This is normal for a fracture.
Within a week, at most the initial pain of the fracture will be relieved and the swelling of the injured area will go down.
But Luke's physique is nearly five times that of an ordinary person. His recovery in one week is equivalent to that of an ordinary person in one month. The fact that he feels hungry more frequently than before also proves this.
This is the body absorbing a large amount of energy and nutrients to recover his injured arm.
But after a week, Luke clearly felt something was wrong with his left arm.
It's hard to describe the feeling, but the flexibility of my left arm and the reaction speed of my palm and fingers have been significantly reduced.
He even went to the hospital to inquire, but of course he didn't dare to get a check-up and didn't get any useful answers.
The attending doctor finally said tactfully: "Your condition is actually very normal. The bone injury in your arm is very serious. The extent to which you can recover depends on your physical condition."
Luke looked at his expression and understood immediately.
What the doctor meant was that the recovery of his arm did not depend on the situation at all, but on luck.
Maybe it can be restored to be almost the same as before, but it is more likely that it cannot be restored to its original state.
Luke showed no signs of being unusual about this, he thanked the doctor politely and left.
Looking at his 24-point strength, Luke thought, "It's just another four levels, right? So-easy... No way."
Therefore, even on holidays, his mood remains at an average level.
A week later, they both went to work as usual.
Looking at Borrick's dead face, they were both speechless: Wasn't this all your own fault
But this thought apparently did not exist in Berrick's mind.
When Luke and the other man came over to take the case, Borrick just threw a file over without even bothering to say a word.
Two weeks passed like this.
Luke and his partner got four cases in a row, but they didn't solve any of them.
Don’t think that the crime-solving rate in the United States is high; that’s just what is shown in TV dramas.
It would be great if big cities could achieve an overall crime clearance rate of 10%.
What the police department values most is not the overall crime-solving rate, but the rate of solving cases with major impacts.
This is also the reason why many cases go unsolved because no one pays attention to them, but are quickly solved when they are made a big deal.
All I can say is that Borick is indeed an old hand at solving cases, and all the cases he handed over to me were unsolved cases.
How can Luke and the other two newcomers with no background at all solve such a confusing case
These cases were either about a suspected missing person, or a homeless person or adulterer who died in the streets. Most of them could only be closed with conclusions such as no such person was found, or suspected of an overdose of xx.
Luke has a good mentality, a system in his hand, and is not panicked. Since he doesn't get experience points from handling cases seriously, he can just meddle in other people's business during the investigation and still earn a lot of experience points.
He remained calm despite this predicament, and even Selena was not affected.
Luke said it was okay, so it really was no big deal.
Borick also changed his excuse to the two of them, which was that Luke's arm would take a long time to recover, and handling the case was already very tiring, and he was not an inconsiderate person to his subordinates.
Therefore, Berrick was absolutely right in assigning these cases to Luke and the other two.
His story was spread by several detectives in the serious crime squad, and no one thought that he was wrong.
Of course, some people think Luke is stupid for working overtime despite being injured, but you can't say there's something wrong with his love for work.
In private, everyone thinks that the behavior is stupid, but in public everyone has to express their disapproval and act as if they are not human. This is political correctness.
This situation lasted for two weeks, and Luke's arm had been free of the cast, and there were some minor changes in their work.
That day, Selina drove the assigned car around the street and couldn't help complaining, "Berrick is really going too far now. He actually treats us as patrol officers."
Luke looked at the scenery outside the window and said casually, "It doesn't matter. The case he gave us has almost no chance of being solved. Keeping it in the bureau will only lead to us scratching our heads. We might as well go out for a spin."
Selina was still dissatisfied: "But he pulled us over twice a week to tell you to rest more. What does that mean? He even said that to the other members of the Serious Crime Unit, pretending to be a good person."
Luke: "Just treat him as a Shar Pei. Apart from his ugly appearance, his words are no different from a dog's barking. Don't take it seriously. If a dog barks at you, would you bark at it back?"
Selina was stunned and burst out laughing.
The main reason is that Berrick has very deep forehead wrinkles, and coupled with the high work pressure, he looks a bit prematurely aged, with quite a few wrinkles on his face, and indeed has a bit of the charm of a Shar Pei dog.
After being teased like this, Selina finally gave up the topic of the Shar Pei team leader and turned to the new task: "By the way, why do we have to patrol the streets? Isn't it just a rich second-generation playboy who is coming over? He is not the President of the United States."
Luke laughed: "No, in a sense, he is much more important than the President of the United States."
Selina was surprised: "Is it that exaggerated?"
Luke: "The president changes every few years, but he is the only chairman of Stark Group. As long as he doesn't commit suicide, he can be the chairman of Stark Group for life."
However, the day when this playboy will commit a crime is not far away, he added in his mind.
After ignoring Borrick's disgusting little tricks, the two of them had a good time in the past half month.
Unfortunately, Luke's new car has disappeared in Raccoon City, and the insurance company is still investigating, and the compensation has not been paid yet.
Luke was too lazy to press the matter, mainly because the situation in Raccoon City was complicated and a large number of insurance companies were still racking their brains over the claims there.
Now that a city is gone, several insurance companies will probably go bankrupt.
I don't know who suppressed the matter over there, but the insurance company is not a pushover.
The total amount of compensation paid by Raccoon City is at least in the billions of US dollars, and this is only property loss, not including compensation for death.
With such a huge amount of compensation, a large group of insurance companies dare to go to war with anyone.
Although the blame fell on the company of the so-called nuclear power plant, the insurance company would not be so stupid as to threaten the government as well.
Nuclear power plants are of course strictly regulated by the US government. Now that something has happened, is it possible for them not to pay compensation
