The two thanked Millie and left the police station together.
The police station will give them three days to deal with all the trivial matters, and then they will officially start work.
Because the serious crime team is so busy, it would be very troublesome to deal with trivial matters once they start working officially, so they are given such loose time.
The two of them did not waste any time and drove around seven or eight candidate locations in the afternoon. In the end, they chose a one-bedroom apartment with two bedrooms that was not too far from the West District Police Station.
The biggest advantage of this place is its quietness. There is no huge traffic or crowds around. There is also a small street behind the apartment, which makes it very quiet.
The apartment is a bit old, but it is still clean. The two bedrooms are very small, only about 10 square meters. The living room is also not big, about 20 square meters. The total area is only more than 50 square meters.
However, the price is not high, and it is still cheap for two people to share the rent.
After signing the lease contract, the two of them officially moved in here, and only then did Lu Ke and his partner move their things out of the car.
The trunk and back seat were full of stuff, most of which belonged to Selena.
Lu Ke was a little confused. Since he was in the serious crime squad, he would have to wear formal clothes every day. Why did Selina bring so many clothes and shoes
Selina could only roll her eyes at such a stupid question: "Come on, we are in the serious crime squad. Most of the time, we don't need to wear police uniforms when we investigate cases, ok? Then why can't I dress prettier? It's not like I'll wear hot pants and suspenders to work."
Lu Ke was speechless.
He only brought a few simple sets of clothes, which filled up one suitcase.
Selena has five boxes, and it is said that she managed to reduce the size with great difficulty. Originally, she had eight boxes, and most of them were probably her beautiful clothes.
After moving their things, Lu Ke and his friend were not in the mood to go out immediately, so they called for takeout.
After finishing the fast food, the two rested for a while before going out to the supermarket again.
There were only a few basic electrical appliances in the apartment, and you still had to buy all the small parts yourself.
Lu Ke didn't need many things, but Selina lacked a lot.
While shopping, Selina looked at the price tags on the goods with a painful look on her face: "Just this one move, my week's salary is gone."
Lu Ke could only laugh.
He can't say he's paying for it, right
If he dared to say that, Selina would definitely think that he wanted to hook up with her, or even have a formal relationship with her.
Otherwise, why would you pay for a girl’s daily necessities
See, there are even women's Band-Aids in the shopping cart. Apart from boyfriends and husbands, how many men would help women pay for this kind of things
After returning, the two did not continue to pack. They just took their things back to the room, washed up and went to bed.
The next morning, they both went to work on time.
When we arrived at the police station, there were already several detectives in the lobby of the serious crime unit, some of whom had arrived early and some who had stayed up all night.
Seeing the two people come in, only two people nodded to them in greeting.
Half an hour before work, Berrick also arrived.
Seeing that the two people arrived early and were in high spirits, he was still satisfied.
Judging from the small details, these two are at least not the kind of eccentric troublemakers. This situation is more obvious in the more capable people are.
Like some of the old hands in his group, they are too lazy to follow other minor rules except the police's bottom line.
Of course, this is also related to the work of the serious crime squad. They are often busy for days and nights without rest, and cannot get off work and get off work on time like ordinary police officers.
He waved to the two of them and called them to his office.
He didn't waste words after entering. He was busier than any of his subordinates. He searched the table for a while, took out a file and threw it to Lu Ke: "This case is yours. Report to me if there is any progress. Come to me if there is anything you can't solve. Any questions?"
Selina wanted to look at the file, but Lu Ke just smiled and said, "Yes, Commander Borick."
Boric waved his hand and said, "Since you are working under me, you can call me boss just like everyone else. Get to work!"
Lu Ke responded with a "yes" and walked out. Selena followed suit and responded with a "yes" and followed him out.
Borrick laughed in his heart: As expected, the younger one is the leader, and the woman who is five years older is actually a support.
However, this is normal.
In comparison, men are more suitable for leading and women are more suitable for assisting. After all, women have many inherent advantages and disadvantages. They have an advantage in external communication, but lack in close combat and deterrence.
Hmm... But that guy seems too young, and he's a bit hard to scare people, right? Borik suddenly thought of a question, but then gave up thinking about it.
He is the team leader, not a babysitter. He can only solve this kind of problem by himself. If he can't solve it, what's the point of being a detective in the serious crime squad
Lu Ke and Selina returned to their desks and opened the file. Lu Ke sat down and Selina came next to him, sitting on the armrest and tilting her head to read with him.
A murder occurred in the apartment building at No. 39, 107a Street, West District, and the deceased was a woman.
The case was received yesterday, and that was the time when Lu Ke and the others reported in.
The serious crime squad has always been short of manpower, and with the two new men, Borick did not disturb other people from working on the case and directly handed the case over to the two of them.
Lu Ke grabbed his shirt and put it on, covering the holster on his body: "Let's go and take a look at the scene."
Don't wait for the autopsy report. The forensic departments in big cities are very busy. It's normal for a case to take a month or two to get the results, and it's not uncommon to get a report after half a year or a year.
What? That's not how it's played on TV
Sorry, in reality, American police rely on forensic science to solve less than 5% of cases.
Most of the time, it is still the police who do the work, and the forensic department only provides evidence support for the case.
In most cases, if the police cannot find the suspect for a period of time, they can only classify it as an old case.
Until the day when the criminal commits a crime again and confesses to the crime he committed before, this old case will finally be solved.
Lu Ke and his companion went to the garage and drove a police car.
Members of the serious crime squad enjoy this treatment, but Lu Ke and his companions have not been accepted by Borrick yet, so they cannot blatantly use the car for personal purposes. It's okay to drive it home occasionally, but if they do that every day, they will be complained about.
The two got in the car and it took more than forty minutes to arrive at No. 39, 107a Street.
When they entered, both of them were paying attention to the surrounding environment. Although it may not be helpful to the case, when the police investigate a case, it is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Many times, a detail that is noticed unintentionally may be the key to solving the case.
This is an old apartment building that was built at least thirty years ago. The mottled walls and old doors and windows show that this is not a place where rich people live.
