The owner was so happy that he even gave Luke a roasted goose head as a gift: "Only people who love gourmet food know how delicious this is."
Luke: ... Although it does make some sense, but this goose head was given to me because no one else eats it, right
After thanking the shop owner for the gift, Luke rode back to his apartment.
At this moment, the prompt (temporarily unavailable for learning) after Vanessa's primary vehicle driving has disappeared in the system.
This was because Luke defeated her in close combat and was qualified enough to study.
That was why Luke did not arrest them and send them to the police.
It is too cruel to learn other people's abilities and then send them to the police station.
The point is, the other person has very charming eyes and has not provoked him, so he is too lazy to help the New York Police Department arrest people.
He is not a New York policeman, nor is he the little Spider who has an overflowing sense of justice and will confront any criminal.
However, he didn't know whether Vanessa would continue to have bad luck from today on.
Similarly, if she does something bad again and something happens to go wrong, it is unknown whether she will go to jail.
Everything depends on her own choice.
Back at the apartment, Luke knocked on Elsa's door. Facing her question, he showed her the takeaway in his hand: "I solved the case today. I'm in a good mood. I'll treat you to a Chinese meal."
Elsa: "...You are so generous."
Her communication with Dustin also came to an end, and she felt hungry at the moment.
So, she didn't hesitate, washed her hands, and started to taste them one by one.
As it turned out, Elsa's favorite was barbecued pork. This sweet meat is indeed very much to the taste of the American people.
However, Luke preferred roast goose, but Elsa was not very interested in it.
Seeing Luke chewing the roasted goose head slowly, Elsa looked horrified: "You're eating this too?"
Luke said seriously, "This is the best part. The boss saw that I was a big customer and gave it to me with great difficulty."
Elsa: ... You must be kidding me. I'm going to buy steak, and if anyone dares to give me a bull's head, I promise to call and report him.
After Elsa had eaten and drunk her fill, she began to ask Luke for his advice. The most important thing was how to write the report.
Luke shrugged. "If there's a bonus, you can help me get it. As for promotions, I only have a high school degree, so I can't be promoted to sheriff."
In the promotion system of police in many large cities in the United States, promotion to the positions of sheriff, inspector, and superintendent requires taking the civil service examination, in which a college degree is a minimum requirement.
Although these police officers are not federal employees, passing the test proves a qualification, indicating that the person can become an "officer" in the police force.
As long as you pass these three levels, further promotion only requires an internal transfer order from the police station, and there is no need to take an exam.
Elsa thought about it, but still asked, "Aren't you planning to go to college? Some universities allow you to get a degree while working."
Luke shook his head and said, "I'm only eighteen. Even if I get a college degree, it will be several years later. A promotion is of no use to me now. A bonus is more practical."
Elsa hesitated for a moment, and finally lowered her voice and asked, "How do I write the report?"
Luke looked at her expression and shrugged. "Whatever you say, I'm not in a hurry to get promoted. If you get promoted, maybe you can still protect me."
Elsa was suspicious: "Really?"
Luke: "… Tell me, if I become the sheriff in a year, what will my colleagues in the police department think of me?"
Elsa: "... Although, I'd like to say that they will congratulate you, but privately, a lot of people will definitely report you."
Luke spread his hands. "That's it. I didn't even go to police school. Someone was the one who got me to the LAPD. If I get promoted now, won't that make everyone dislike me? Okay, take as much credit as you want for this case. It would be best if you can get a direct promotion."
Elsa: “Huh?”
Luke chuckled and said, "When the time comes, you can help me get Selina to be my partner, right?"
Elsa was surprised: "You and her are really... huh?"
Luke shook his head. "To be honest, no. But we have lived and died together twice. This kind of trust is very rare. If she follows me, she won't suffer any harm."
Elsa was speechless for a long time before she finally said, "Well, I feel like being your partner is happier than being your wife."
Luke rolled his eyes. "I'm only eighteen, okay? Can you please not bring up such heavy topics? When have you ever cared about your marriage?"
Elsa raised her hands in surrender: "Ok! I was wrong. I shouldn't have brought up this topic." She is an older single woman. She is 32 years old now. Although her relatives and friends at home don't urge her to get married, they always ask her if she has a boyfriend recently.
But she is in the serious crime squad, so how can she have the time to have a boyfriend
The reality is, the special nature of her job makes it difficult for her to even find a boyfriend, let alone one.
How many men dare to flirt with the female detective in the serious crime squad
Well, okay, if it's someone like Selena, there will definitely be lustful men rushing towards her.
Elsa's appearance is at most average, not ugly, but she definitely won't get the treatment of picking up boys just by relying on her looks.
After finishing his nonsense, Luke went out. Before closing the door, he reminded him again: "Remember, I only want the bonus, don't ask me for anything else."
Elsa was speechless: Who in the serious crime squad doesn’t want a partner like this!
With the abilities and strength Luke had shown so far, she felt that she would be promoted after working with him for a few months at most.
What if I could get him to work for me? Haha, Elsa thought a higher position was not out of the question.
The key is, this guy is really good at fighting.
Whenever a major case comes up, as his immediate superior, he just needs to send Luke out to deal with all the criminals, and of course a large part of the credit will go to his superior.
Los Angeles is the crime capital, one of the cities with the highest crime rates in the United States, and is full of gangs.
Having such a capable subordinate is the dream of all police officers.
Knowing people and making good use of them is the ability that management needs most.
The highest leaders of the New York Police Department, such as the commissioner and deputy commissioner, are both civilian officials (they can also be promoted from police officers in the police department). They do not participate in specific operations but only manage the police department. They are typical administrative personnel.
Elsa thought about this and felt a little excited.
As for Luke lying? That's unlikely.
After all, Luke's hard conditions are really too poor.
Strictly speaking, not graduating from the police academy, not having a college degree, not having sufficient years of work experience, and not taking any police recruitment exams are all loopholes.
However, as long as Luke doesn't get promoted, these things are just minor problems.
A mere district detective is actually only half a level higher than an ordinary police officer. He has real case achievements to protect him, which is enough to deal with rumors.
