Being A Detective in The World of Film and Television

Chapter 51: Take the blame, change jobs, guess your luck

Views:

For various reasons, a rival gang to the Carlos family claimed responsibility for the massacre at the Saprera nightclub, saying that it was done by its own gunmen.

When Lu Ke heard the news, he was a little stunned, and then he was secretly happy.

With this scapegoat, after a while, all the doubts and clues in the downfall of Carlos' family will disappear, and no one will link it to him.

Chris also expressed his helplessness. They had launched so many actions against the Carlos family, but in the end it was the enemies of the Carlos family that benefited. This was really unpleasant.

However, they also contributed to the collapse of the Carlos Family. It would take at least several years for other Mexican gangs to rebuild the Carlos Family's line.

Therefore, their contributions are still considerable.

Robert has been a little silent recently, and his eyes were complicated when he looked at Lu Ke.

Robert had a lot to say, but he couldn't say a word.

If Selina could notice it, why wouldn't he know

Selina hasn't heard any news from Chris yet, but Robert knows.

Considering that Lu Ke inexplicably took a year off to travel and came back with a murderous aura that could make Robert shudder, the answer is not difficult to guess.

The fact that Robert could serve as a soldier for so many years and even come back from the bloody battlefields overseas shows that he is not stupid but has extremely sharp senses.

He became a small-time sheriff simply because he was disgusted with the senseless killing.

But he didn't expect that after he walked out of that kind of life, the child he watched grow up stepped into it again.

But he had no right to say that Lu Ke was wrong.

In fact, even if Lu Ke did not take action, in a month at most, the person going on annual leave would be Robert himself.

A week later, he suddenly went to Lu Ke's office and asked, "Do you want to work somewhere else?"

Lu Ke was stunned: "Why?"

Robert did not answer, but continued to ask: "Do you want a bigger stage?"

Lu Ke was surprised: "Ah?"

Robert: "If you want to, I can help you find a connection to transfer. You are still young and don't seem to want to retire here."

Lu Ke was silent for a moment, then said in a muffled voice: "I'll think about it for a few days."

Robert nodded: "Okay. But once you've made a decision, tell me."

Lu Ke didn't take long to consider, and he gave a positive answer three days later.

Robert didn't say much, but just asked him to work harder recently and become more proficient in all aspects of the business.

Lu Ke knew that this was the last buffer time given to him.

If you go to other places, you won't have Robert as your boss to protect you, so you have to make fewer mistakes and do more practical work.

He also revealed the news to Selena.

He was not afraid of Selina's jealousy. As a partner who had shared life and death together, he did not want to leave suddenly one day and have his partner be the last person to know about it. That would be too hurtful.

Selina looked at him strangely for a long time, and finally nodded: "Got it."

Lu Ke felt a little strange; this reaction didn't seem like her style.

Time passed peacefully.

During this time, Lu Ke once again discovered a hidden rule of the system.

The story started with Catherine's complaint. She said that Robert had been unlucky recently and all kinds of inexplicable things kept happening to him.

Lu Ke didn't care. After asking, he found out that during this period of time, Robert had injured his fingers four or five times, stepped on animal feces five or six times, and was hit on the back by debris blown down by the wind.

Fortunately, these little accidents did not have serious consequences, but they really worried Catherine. She wondered if Robert was possessed by something strange, so she dragged Robert to the town church to attend services twice.

As a result... During the service, as soon as Robert sat down, the long chair collapsed and a wooden splinter pierced his butt, causing the tough guy Robert's butt to bleed.

Lu Ke didn’t think anything of it before, but after the accident in the church, he felt something was wrong.

Most people wouldn't be so unlucky as this. This is not the movie "Final Destination".

After thinking it over, Lu Ke still couldn't come up with a plan. Until one day when Robert was watching a game, he wanted to make a bet with him again, but Lu Ke refused.

Robert was dissatisfied: "I have been unlucky recently, and I don't need you to give in to me. I don't believe that I will always lose if I bet with you."

Lu Ke didn't pay much attention to it at the time, but when he returned to his room and lay down at night, a vague inspiration was floating in his mind.

Just before he fell asleep, an idea suddenly occurred to him and he sat up abruptly: "Could this be the reason?"

So two days later, while watching a football game, he made another bet with Robert and deliberately chose a weak team.

As expected, the team chosen by Lu Ke lost.

At this time, basic special operations dimmed in Robert's ability list in Lu Ke's system.

His qualifications were clearly insufficient, and Robert's abilities automatically became invalid.

Lu Ke didn't care, but paid attention to Robert's situation.

As a result, Robert's bad luck suddenly improved. His hands were scalded by hot water only once in several days, and he was soaked by water when the faucet burst while he was in the bathroom.

Compared with the previous situation where there were three or four minor incidents every day, it is much better.

Lu Ke continued his efforts and found an opportunity to make another bet with Robert.

This time it’s not a ball game, but a shooting game, with two people competing for the number of rings.

Lu Ke lost unsurprisingly, as he didn't even use his full strength.

The moment he lost the competition, all of Robert's abilities in the system dimmed, and his basic firearms automatically became ineffective.

From then on, Robert suddenly stopped having bad luck.

For several days in a row, he didn't have any minor problems and his mood improved.

At this time, Lu Ke finally got a glimpse of the system's rules again.

If the super learning system wants to learn the opponent's abilities, it must defeat the opponent and obtain certain qualifications. If the qualifications are not enough, it cannot use points to buy the opponent's abilities.

However, before Lu Ke went on a killing spree in Mexico, the abilities of those dead gang thugs were all revealed and could be purchased at any time.

What is the difference between them and Robert

The answer is simple. Robert just lost a bet on a small matter, but those people even lost their lives to Lu Ke.

Lu Ke had a rough guess.

That so-called qualification is probably something like "luck" or... "fortune"

After being killed by Lu Ke, those thugs became dead. Dead people certainly have no luck or fortune.

According to the system's judgment, Lu Ke might have taken away the luck of these people, or these people might no longer have the luck to resist the system's replication of their abilities.

This would explain Robert's bad luck.
