Being A Detective in The World of Film and Television

Chapter 175: The whole family reunites to celebrate the festival - Part 1 (3 more chapters)

Views:

If Luke went to college now and got his diploma in four years, he would only be twenty-two years old.

A 22-year-old sergeant? That's a bit exaggerated.

Elsa is already thirty-two years old and has just been promoted to police chief.

It was also because Luke's recent performance was so amazing that Dustin subconsciously ignored this point.

Dustin rolled his eyes and suddenly laughed: "Well, we will be buying a batch of new cars in the near future. Do you have a favorite model?"

Luke thought for a moment and said, "I'll just use whatever everyone else uses. I'll be satisfied as long as I have a matching car."

Dustin nodded with satisfaction: This kid is not arrogant, he is indeed worth training.

But then he changed his mind and found it a little funny: this young man had just killed and injured more than 40 bandits two days ago, so it was not so easy for him to get away with it.

This is what Dustin was talking about. The reason he acted so quickly was that he didn't expect Luke to have no request at all.

If it were someone else, it would probably lead to a lot of arguing and everyone would have to compromise.

Young people are so nice! Dustin sighed in his heart.

Seeing that Dustin didn't say anything, Luke stood up and said goodbye: "Boss, you go ahead and do your work. I'll leave first."

Dustin hummed, and after watching him walk away, he picked up the phone on the table: "Logistics Department? What new cars are they going to transfer to us recently?"

Luke came out, looked at the time, and found it was still early, so he simply rushed home. He found that Selina had already gotten up and was taking care of her personal hygiene.

Seeing him coming back, Selina was surprised: "So soon?"

Luke shrugged, "Maybe I made it easier for Dustin."

After they drove out, Luke told Selina what Dustin meant, which made Selina laugh.

She had long known from Luke that he would not consider any promotion in the next few years, especially to the sheriff who needed to take the civil service exam.

But when Selina heard Luke say that he would be given a car soon, she became envious.

The cars here are not bad, and Luke has made great contributions and is protected by his superiors, so he can use the cars as his own. After all, they are plainclothes officers and the cars are not painted.

Luke smiled and said, "You've made a profit. My Ford is not bad either. You can drive it as you like in the future."

Selina thought about it and felt satisfied.

When they arrived at the airport, the two of them sat together and chatted, which was not too boring.

The weather was good today and the flight was not delayed, so Robert and his family arrived at noon.

The meeting in the hall was joyous.

Claire excitedly pulled Luke and jumped up and down. Joseph looked at his sister with contempt, but he couldn't help but feel happy.

Robert and Catherine greeted Selena first, and then they exchanged greetings and continued.

After leaving the airport, Selena drove Katherine, the two children, and the luggage away first, while Luke and Robert took a taxi.

In the taxi, Robert and Luke kept bickering. After getting off the taxi, Robert looked at the small villa and was stunned: "Can you afford to live in this house?"

If this house is moved to Shackelford, anyone who is a little bit diligent can afford to live in it. After all, the area is vast and sparsely populated, so if you work hard you can build a house yourself.

But this is Los Angeles, on the edge of West Hollywood.

Luke laughed. "Luck, luck. This is a long story, let's not talk about it for now. Let's go in and take a look at your room first. I don't know what you need yet. I just moved in yesterday."

Robert followed him in blankly, looked around, and was even more surprised.

The style of this small villa is not high. At least Robert doesn't think it is the kind that makes you feel extremely expensive as soon as you enter.

But the various home appliances and items inside are not cheap, at least they are first- or second-rate products on the market.

Just for these household appliances, Luke would have to go without food or drink for two years, and he still wouldn't be able to buy them with his salary.

However, Luke had already said not to mention it for the time being, so he didn't say anything else.

When Robert saw the big bathtub at the back, he was speechless. Rich people really know how to have fun. They actually built a big open-air bathtub.

Well, in this respect, Robert and Luke were very similar, neither of them treated that thing as a swimming pool.

Then we had to prepare lunch for everyone, which Luke had already prepared.

All the ingredients that I packed into the car yesterday are here. Many of them are already marinated and just need to be put in the oven.

So, in the afternoon, everyone sat in the backyard, enjoying the breeze, drinking drinks, and eating barbecued meat and chicken.

Selena had already encouraged the two little ones to go into the tub to play, and the three of them were having a water fight and laughing.

When necessary, they can use the summoning method to ask Catherine or Luke nearby to send them food.

Of course, Luke was the one who was called the most, because he hadn't seen the two little ones for a long time.

Robert looked at Luke with a strange expression as he brought a large plate of barbecue to Selina. He lowered his voice and asked, "Don't you care about colleagues' love affairs here?"

Luke immediately understood what he meant and chuckled, "Of course I care. Selina is a bit like Claire to me."

Robert understood, this is what it means to be a sister.

While the three of them were playing, he finally asked, "What's going on with this house? Don't say you bought it."

Luke: "It was a personal gift from Mr. Aoki, the president of Nakatomi Corporation. He was going to reward me with one million US dollars, but I refused, so he gave me this instead."

Robert, Catherine: "What?"

One million US dollars is a huge sum of money for most Americans.

Luke smiled and said, "I saved his life from the robbers and helped his company recover the 640 million bearer bonds that were stolen. It's not too much for him to give me these, right?"

Robert, Catherine: ... Are you kidding me

Finally, the battle-hardened Robert came to his senses first: "What happened? Why didn't you tell us about this before?"

Robert found it strange that the two sides basically talked on the phone two or three times a week.

Luke shrugged. "I just wanted to give you a little surprise. Besides, this actually happened on Christmas Eve."

Robert and Catherine were stunned again: This happened three days ago? No wonder they were not told.

Luke didn't go into detail, but just gave the general situation again. He also praised Detective John for being a bit brave, and gave all the praise for him being able to chase after a dozen anti-corruption activists alone to a certain colleague in New York.

Catherine believed it a little, but Robert was full of suspicion: It seems more like you were chasing after a dozen empty-handed members.

However, Robert and Catherine were relieved when they heard that all the robbers were caught, no one escaped, and the number of deaths or serious injuries was close to 80%.

This gang of robbers is definitely finished.

They killed people, attacked police officers, and were suspected of empty propaganda. Although empty propaganda is just their behavior to deceive the outside world, their behavior is empty propaganda.

In today's America, anyone involved in empty cloth will be sentenced to a heavy sentence without the possibility of parole.
