This is not because people are cold-hearted, but because detectives have limited time and energy.
In American TV dramas, many detectives look like they will not give up until they get to the bottom of the case.
But in reality, the detective is not qualified to do this.
If you keep pursuing one case, you will delay the investigation of more cases, and your boss will fire you sooner or later.
Even if you are very concerned about a case, you can only find time to investigate it when it does not affect your normal work.
This is also the difference between a police detective and a private detective. The former needs to maintain the basic social order, while the latter will specifically investigate a certain case.
After that, it was Selena's turn to ask about his schedule in Paris and look at all the photos of Elena and him.
This made her extremely jealous.
She looked disappointed. "I have nothing to do with this kind of fun trip? I also want to go shopping in Paris and go to Marseille to sunbathe on the sea."
Luke chuckled: "I'm going to Las Vegas for a few days. Do you want to come with me?"
Selina was just surprised, but then shook her head: "I guess it's difficult. I have a lot of work now, so it's not good to ask for leave."
Luke shrugged, "It's okay, let's wait for a while. You've been working so hard lately. Did I tell you that Elsa might get a promotion?"
Selina thought about it and nodded: "I have heard a little bit about this, what does it have to do with me?"
Luke: "If she really gets promoted, I will apply to transfer you over and you can continue to be my partner."
Selina was surprised: "But didn't you say that we need a few months to get familiar with this place and build our own network of relationships?"
Luke chuckled, "Elsa and I have a pretty good relationship. I can use most of Elsa's intelligence resources. I just need to give her more credit. In Houston's case, we were isolated in the serious crime team. Now everyone from the boss Dustin to the senior Elsa are on our side. There's no problem being partners again!"
Selina also became excited: "Really?"
Luke: "Really. I tried to test Elsa, and she didn't object to the idea, provided that she became the sheriff and became my boss from a partner."
Selina: "How long will it take? It won't be half a year or a year, right? The only rumor about her promotion is that it might be in the next few months."
Luke: "Within two months at most, it's very likely that the results will be available within a month."
Selina: "Oh yeah, that's great."
Luke chuckled: "Are you happy? Get up and wash the dishes."
Selina: "Oh, my stomach is so bloated, I need to rest for a while."
Luke ignored her poor acting and stood up: "It's your mission anyway, I'll go take a shower first."
When he came out of the shower, Selena had already packed up and gone to the kitchen.
Luke smiled and shook his head, then picked up his notebook and started checking the messages again.
Nothing happened overnight.
The next day, Luke and Selina drove to work separately.
Selina was full of energy. This was after she had a barbecue dinner last night and had the breakfast Luke made this morning. She even packed several cupcakes that had been out of supply back into her bag.
Foodie Na was naturally in a good mood.
When I arrived at the police station, I saw Elsa at her desk, and she looked visibly refreshed.
Seeing Luke coming over, she greeted him.
Luke smiled and put the paper bag in front of her: "Homemade cupcakes, you can have them as snacks when you have nothing to do."
Elsa was a little surprised, and although she didn't care much about food, she couldn't help but take one out and eat it.
But within a few minutes, she regretted it.
Although Americans are more concerned about privacy and keep their distance, who is Elsa
She is one of the most senior people in the serious crime squad, and there are more than one or two detectives who have close relationships with her.
In the serious crime squad, there are five people she trained as new recruits, and they can all be considered half of her students.
There are also four or five people with whom I have a good relationship after working together for a few years.
In other words, a small number of people in the serious crime squad have a good relationship with her.
When friends become close, they are often unreliable.
Elsa didn't take the cupcakes seriously, but the same could not be said for the others.
Dustin just came out to use the restroom at this time. He walked by and saw the cakes in the open paper bag. Seeing that there were still a few cakes in it, he took one away. "Well, it happens that I haven't eaten this morning. Thanks, Elsa."
Elsa didn't care much about it. She just thought the cake tasted really good, no worse than the ones she bought at the pastry shop.
Another veteran Chinese detective, Billy Wang, came over and said, "Oh, I haven't eaten either. Thanks, Elsa." He stretched out his hand and took another one.
Another younger policewoman, Melinda, who was about 27 or 28 years old, also came over and said, "Hey, Elsa, you still remember that I like cupcakes. Thank you." She also took one quickly and ran away.
This is not the end yet. A few detectives who arrived earlier also gathered together from a little further away.
With the same words and actions, the last two cupcakes in the bag were gone.
The early bird catches the worm. The few detectives who didn't get the cake had to disperse.
But one shameless person even shouted, "Elsa, bring more next time. You're treating me with a cake, and you only brought this little bit. Last time I brought a dozen donuts."
Elsa was confused: Damn it, I only ate one! What a bunch of bastards!
The key point is that this cake is really well made. It costs at least three to five dollars each in a pastry shop. How can it be compared with those common donuts
What a loss! This was the only thought in her mind.
If she had known that Luke's homemade cakes were of this quality, she would never have displayed them so carelessly. She would have kept them all for herself, which was better than giving them away to these bastards.
These detectives who dared to reach out had a special relationship with her. Eating one more or one less piece of cake would not affect the relationship between the two parties at all. This was the biggest loss.
She then looked at Luke and said, "Can't you wait until they are not around and then quietly give it to me?"
Luke smiled but said nothing, he was giving it to Elsa anyway, she couldn't keep the cake herself, so it was not his fault.
After watching her finish the cake, Luke asked, "What's the situation with this case?"
Elsa threw the file out and he took it and started flipping through it.
"This case is a bit tricky." Elsa said, "The dead man is a guy named William Johnson. He was shot in the head in a car. He is in real estate and has a shady background. According to our information, he is involved in many cases of threats and injuries. There are also rumors that he is related to many murders, which happened to residents and tenants of some old buildings. Intelligence shows that these buildings and land belong to William Johnson."
Luke was looking at the information in the file and the various notes Elsa had added on the side, and he said, "So, this is the leader of the gang. It's only a matter of time before he's killed?"
