But here comes the problem.
Luke and Selina took over the case from the serious crime squad.
Then, the two had a gunfight with the gangsters in the warehouse and rescued an FBI agent. This also allowed the West District Police Department to justifiably block and search the warehouse to find the hidden arsenal.
Whether from a logical or procedural perspective, Luke and Selina are definitely the first contributors to solving this arms smuggling case.
Even when the arms were found, both of them were fast asleep at home.
The promotion documents were also issued with this reason.
Solving cases + saving people = promotion, there is nothing wrong with this logic.
Thomas observed the expressions of the two men and paid more attention to Luke in his heart.
As for Selina, she is obviously a supporting role, but she can cooperate well with Luke, which is also a skill.
He then said, "You can no longer discuss what happened yesterday with anyone, not even your team leader."
Luke nodded, but he was a little worried in his heart: Would this make Borrick angry again
He couldn't even ask about the details of the case that his own men had solved.
Thomas gave the two some more words of encouragement before letting them go back to work.
Today, the two of them walked into the main crime unit lobby, and several detectives inside looked over.
Three of them even came over to say hello, and the other two nodded and said good morning.
They both responded with a smile and went to the team leader's office.
Borick saw the two of them and looked a little strange: "What's the matter?"
Luke: "The arms smuggling case should be considered finished, so I came to ask the team leader if there are any other cases for us."
Borick still had that awkward expression, and after a moment he asked, "How did you get involved with the FBI?"
Luke: "Actually, we went to that Mexican restaurant to eat and investigate the situation, and we happened to encounter a gunfight between the FBI and the gangsters in the warehouse."
Borick was speechless: What kind of shitty luck is this? ! He was able to solve the case like this.
For a moment, Borik didn't know how to arrange these two people.
Give them another big case? The two were promoted too quickly, which was not in line with his rule of punishing newcomers.
Give him a small case? Anyone with a discerning eye would know that he had something to hide. If he didn't use such a capable person properly, what else could he do but suppress him? The key point was that Luke and the other two were under the protection of Chief Thomas, and Berrick had no way of dealing with them like this.
After hesitating for a long time, Borrick rolled his eyes and asked the two to sit down.
Then he searched in his cabinet for a long time and finally found a file. He opened it and took a look.
That's right.
He blew away the dust on the file and handed it to Luke without blushing or beating his heart. "Try to investigate this case. It's a bit tricky. I'll give you a month. If you don't get any results within a month, then give up."
Borick's calculations were very clever.
On the surface, he gave the two of them a difficult case and considerately gave them a month.
Thomas couldn't find fault with him.
In this way, the two of them can be sent away and a month's time can be wasted.
Luke just opened the file and took a look. His eyes moved slightly, and then he stood up: "Okay, boss. We'll go out first."
Borrick nodded and watched the two leave with a complicated and unreadable look in his eyes.
After leaving the office, Luke walked straight out.
Selina: "Ah, where are we going?"
Luke: “Go home.”
Selina was confused: "Not going to work anymore?"
Luke patted the file in his hand and said, "Didn't you hear what Boric said? We have a month to ourselves. Don't bother him."
Selina: "Did he say 'Leave him alone'?"
Luke chuckled: "Do you think he would order the other members of the serious crime squad to spend a month investigating a case?"
Selina shook her head decisively.
She is not an amateur. In the serious crime squad of a big city, they would like to have one detective to do the work of two. A case will be reduced in importance after a few days at most and become a case that can be investigated slowly.
Unless a case has a huge social impact and everyone is paying close attention to it, each team in the serious crime squad will have at least two or three cases in progress, plus countless old cases that have been pushed into the archives.
One case a month? If all of Borick's men were this efficient, he would be fired as the head of the major crime squad in the second month.
Luke's eyes flashed with a teasing light: "So, we are disliked."
Selina was even more confused: "Why?"
Luke: "There is an old Chinese saying, which roughly means that people who are too outstanding will always be hostile to other mediocre people. We just solved a big case on our first day at work and got promoted. What would Borick think? He is not Robert."
Selina was still confused: "Isn't it good to have subordinates like us who have outstanding abilities?"
Luke chuckled: "Do you think it's great to have a subordinate who is promoted very quickly and doesn't need to look at your face or listen to your orders?"
Selina was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized: "So that's how it is. People in big cities are really complicated."
Luke: "This is to be expected. When we become the best team in the crime squad, there may be more boring things waiting for us."
Selina: "What's the matter?"
Luke haha, did not answer this question, but muttered in his heart: The key is, Berrick is Chief Faraday's confidant, and Thomas is seeking to be promoted to Chief of the West District Police Station. The backers of the two sides are real enemies.
Thomas might have other intentions in assigning the two to the serious crime squad.
Selena should just be happy. If you tell her these things, she won't be able to understand them and it will only make her feel worse.
The two drove directly home.
After returning home, Selina complained: "I'm not used to this place. There's no training room in the police station. Do we have to find a fitness club?"
Luke pondered for a moment and nodded: "Let's see. If it's suitable, we can find a martial arts gym or something like that where we can practice sparring. It would be even better if there is a private room."
Selina frowned, "But it costs money again."
Luke smiled: "Don't forget, we all got a promotion and a raise today, which is enough to pay for the venue fee."
Selena thought about it and happily went to the side to watch TV.
When she is at home, she has to do a lot of chores when she gets home, such as helping to wash and dry clothes and bedding, washing dishes, and playing with her younger brothers and sisters.
Although it's only occasionally, it's never too idle.
Here, it was just her and Luke, and Luke wouldn't care about her. As long as it wasn't a bad habit, she could watch soap operas or read gossip at home.
Luke sat down on the sofa on the other side and continued to look at the file in his hand.
Half an hour later, Luke put down the file, and Selina asked directly, "How is it?"
