"No." Selina suddenly opened her eyes: "If we hadn't intervened, it would have been unknown whether any of the robbers would have survived."
The four robbers who were captured alive were all the work of Luke and her.
According to the previous battle between the police and the bandits, there was almost no possibility for these robbers to surrender, and there was a high possibility that they were all shot dead.
Bearded Nick has injured so many guys, there is no way he will hold back.
Selina's eyes lit up. "So, that black man is the mastermind behind this. He deliberately lured Nick and the others here to kill his accomplices. These accomplices he betrayed took the counterfeit bills and thought they were real money. He could wait at the garbage dump, or rob the garbage truck halfway and pocket the money all by himself."
After saying that, she looked at Luke and said, "Is that so?"
Luke clapped his hands with a smile: "Yes, just as I thought."
Just now, he had received a system prompt.
System: Capture the serial bank robbers and seize the stolen money. Mission accomplished.
Total mission experience: 1000, points: 1000.
Mission contribution rate 60%, experience 600, points 600.
Experience 16890.
Selina: "Then why don't we catch this guy?"
Luke laughed and said, "Don't forget, once the stolen money is in Dustin's hands, it's no longer our case. Remember to ask the boss for instructions if you have anything to do."
Selena exclaimed, her face full of confusion: Are you so obedient
Luke muttered in his heart: That's a lot of money. It might not be a good idea to catch a suspect without letting Dustin and the others figure it out.
The more crucial point is that the Federal Reserve branch has not made any move so far.
The robbers got a large amount of cash out of it, so how could the Federal Reserve branch not make any moves? Their request for assistance should have been sent long ago.
This unusual situation made Luke decide to go back to Dustin to find out the truth.
Sometimes, even if you solve a case, no one may be grateful to you. Instead, they may hate you to the core.
When we rushed back to the police station and entered a corner of the underground garage, we found that a large space had been cleared out and surrounded by plastic sheeting. A foul smell was coming out from inside.
Luke moved his nose and immediately controlled his keen sense of smell.
Guarding the opening of the plastic sheet was Elizabeth, wearing a large mask that covered her pretty face.
Seeing Luke coming over, she was excited: "Luke, you're back. You know what happened in the garbage truck... Uh, forget it, go in and let the boss tell you."
Luke smiled and nodded: "That's right, we should always be vigilant about things that we shouldn't talk about."
Selina patted Elizabeth's shoulder with a smile: "Good-girl!"
Elizabeth was not dissatisfied, she just took out two masks from her pocket and said, "Put this on, the smell inside is not very good."
The two took the masks and put them on before going in.
Inside, Dustin and Elsa were there.
In addition, the black man Billy and the rookie detective Simmons who was with Elsa were doing hard labor and picking up garbage.
Elsa took out the cash from the black bags and threw it all into the plastic box next to her.
A large part of this pile of garbage is a kind of shredded paper pressed into round cakes.
This was also the source of the strange smell of banknotes that Luke had smelled before. The old banknotes that were crushed into pieces were pressed into round paper cakes. The smell they emitted was that of banknotes, but with another strange smell.
Seeing the two people coming in, Dustin waved: "Luke, Selina, come here."
The two were taken aside by Dustin. Elsa just nodded at them but did not follow.
When they reached the corner, Dustin asked in a low voice, "What's the matter with this money?"
Luke roughly recounted what happened that afternoon, then shrugged. "I have no idea what's going on with the money. I was just suspicious of the timing of the garbage truck's appearance, but I can't say where the money came from."
Dustin's expression changed, and he finally looked at him: "Who else knows about this?"
Luke: "Just us, Sonya's group, and your people, Boss."
Dustin nodded again, and after a moment's silence, he said, "This matter is confidential, and you don't need to worry about it later."
Luke hummed, "I see. This matter is not my responsibility."
Dustin was stunned: "Huh?"
Luke laughed and said, "Sonia was the one following us, and you guys are the ones rummaging through the garbage. It's none of our business."
Dustin: ... What you said makes sense, but why do I want to hit someone!
"Then let's go, boss." Luke said, "There's some good news about Mark Owen's case. I'm going to follow up."
Dustin looked at the two people in front of him, opened his mouth, but found that there seemed to be nothing to say.
It was he who told Luke and the others not to get involved.
Luke's attitude was more straightforward. He made it clear that the money had nothing to do with him. He just asked Sonya to keep an eye on it.
Whatever was discovered, gained, and the credit was gained, could be attributed to Sonya's group, Elsa's group, or Dustin's own group. In any case, it had nothing to do with Luke and the others.
Since it's unrelated, Dustin can't let the two of them rummage through the garbage here.
Waving his hands helplessly, Dustin said, "Go away."
Luke chuckled: "Where's Sonya? I still have to investigate the case with them."
Dustin: "You can't make the call yourself, am I the operator?"
Luke immediately saluted: "Okay, sir." Then he took Selina and ran away.
This case was very complicated and he didn't want to touch it at all.
He would not even investigate the black man who might be the mastermind behind the incident.
Luke has never been a good-natured good guy. There won't be much benefit in the future from this matter, but a lot of trouble. He definitely doesn't want to get involved.
The problem is not primarily with the police department, but with the Los Angeles branch of the Federal Reserve.
This huge sum of money could only have come from a branch of the Federal Reserve, but there was no movement from that side. This didn't make sense.
Not to mention tens of millions of US dollars were lost, even if it was just a single bill, the FBI would come out frantically looking for clues.
After all, who can get the money out of there? This is not just a matter of money, but a matter of loopholes in the Federal Reserve’s security system.
With this kind of loophole, how much money will be lost next time? It's hard to say.
Luke took advantage of the fact that he was not too deeply involved and immediately withdrew himself, completely putting the blame on Dustin.
He could rely on the fact that he discovered the initial clue and Dustin's trust in him to actively ask to join.
What are the benefits of joining
Even if Luke took the money, it would still be black money, just like the millions of cash in his storage space, and could not be used openly.
Not to mention promotion, Elsa has made it clear several times recently that no matter how long he and Selina delay, he must be promoted to third-level detective within a month, which is also the highest level of detective.
It is meaningless for the two of them to have more achievements on paper now.
If he was involved in this case, the most likely possibility would be that the FBI would investigate Luke's ancestors, and he didn't want to be treated like that.
