Remick knows that many police officers who graduated from high schools and community colleges have worked hard for more than ten years and are still sergeants. They can only get the position of lieutenant if they are very lucky.
Diploma is the key indicator that determines the upper limit for most people.
Having a diploma from a prestigious university really gives you an advantage at various stages of promotion.
But he thought for a moment and shook his head: "If your sister goes to college for a few years, she still needs to be retrained. This is the rule."
Luke wasn't too surprised: "Thank you, Remick."
Walking out of the administration building, he looked at the girls on the playground and walked over: "Claire."
Claire, Karen, and the black girl Hooks were sitting on the grass chatting.
Hearing his voice, the three turned their heads to look.
Claire was stunned: "Luke, why are you here?"
Luke: "I'm a temporary staff member of the police academy."
Karen had already stood up, came over and gave him a big hug: "Thank you, Luke."
Luke noticed Selina's strange look, but he remained calm: "Why are you thanking me?"
Karen patted her forehead and said, "You saved us that day. You left too fast, and I even said I would treat you to a meal alone."
Selina remained silent, with a look of amusement in her eyes: This young lady's initiative is okay! But she is still far behind Ginny.
After chatting for a few sentences, I found out that the D15 shift was on duty today.
Even though Los Angeles is still in chaos, these rookie trainees are not machines, nor are they well-trained old police officers.
Karen took the initiative again and suggested that everyone find a place to have lunch and she would treat everyone.
Claire hesitated for a moment, but finally offered to help.
Seeing Selina's half-smile, Luke also accepted the invitation.
And during the rest of the trip, he and Karen chatted a lot.
After finishing dinner at a seaside restaurant in Santa Monica and saying goodbye to each other, Selina smiled and said, "Wow, these young ladies are really elites. They jump at any opportunity they find."
Luke didn't care: "This way of thinking is still very good. At least it's better than those young ladies who act high and mighty and wait for others to lick their boots, isn't it?"
Selina: "Stop pretending. You were trying to trick this young lady, weren't you? Poor girl... Tsk tsk."
Luke laughed. "Karen is the niece of Councilman Thompson and the cousin of Beth Patrick Thompson. After Councilman Henry Esworth's plane crashed a few months ago, Councilman Thompson became a strong contender for the new mayor. Moreover, the Thompson family has always been in conflict with the Esworth family. Otherwise, where do you think the information she revealed before came from?"
Selina: "So you want to ask her about the situation in Elsworth? But at her age, she doesn't know too much inside information, right?"
Luke chuckled: "No, she has revealed a lot. Remember she mentioned that the family asked the younger generation like them to stay away from Esworth recently?"
Selina thought for a moment: "She did say that, what's the problem?"
"This also means that the story of Esworth has spread among these politicians, and it must be a serious problem, otherwise these young people would not pay attention to it." Luke explained, "After all, it is not uncommon for rebellious young people to seek excitement and get involved in killing games and cult worship."
Selina nodded: "Yeah."
Luke: "These families involved in politics are much more sensitive than ordinary people. The fact that they spread this news within the family proves that the Ainsworth incident can no longer be covered up. They are all trying their best to avoid this "big earthquake" in California politics."
Selina: "Is the Elsworths so powerful? If they get into trouble, will the whole of California be affected?"
Luke: "When an avalanche occurs, no snowflake is innocent."
Selina: "What do you mean?"
"Even if many people are unaware of the inside story, they are all accomplices in the things that Elsworth did." Luke said, "These people may not be vampires, and they didn't kill people directly, but they are definitely corrupt and abetting the evil. Have you forgotten how Wolf Elsworth broke into our interrogation room and took away Young Master Dylan? Do you really think Dustin wants to let this scum go?"
Selina said "oh" and seemed to understand.
He never likes opponents who have no bottom line.
Sheldon Elsworth and his ilk have no respect for human life or rules, so Luke is bound to kill them.
Over the next few days, Los Angeles politics changed dramatically just as Luke had predicted.
FBI officials have made it clear that they are investigating the criminal evidence of Sheldon Elsworth and others, and have achieved significant results.
The power of Sheldon's faction began to collapse.
The rest of the Esworth family cut ties with Sheldon and tried to protect themselves.
But how effective these actions are depends on the depth of their involvement in the case and their own public relations efforts.
They cannot easily clear themselves of crime in front of a large group of opponents who are waiting to beat them up and divide their profits.
Luke discovered through superficial channels that more than twenty mid-level personnel of Esworth were suddenly missing.
Whether these people escaped or were arrested, it was a heavy blow to the power of the Esworth family.
Just by looking at Dustin's relaxed expression these past two days, you can tell that the situation is very favorable for him and lawyer Jennifer.
Elsa and Elizabeth started working normally and no longer had to take turns to protect Jennifer's safety.
The only thing that seemed a little strange to Luke was that Dr. Bruce Banner, Jennifer's lawyer cousin, had left and had not visited her since.
It's normal for cousins to have a little weak affection, but Dr. Banner didn't seem like a person without family affection when he donated blood before.
Lawyer Jennifer's unintentional words also revealed that the relationship between the two of them was pretty good.
After all, Banner studied at California Institute of Technology, a top university located in the small town of Pasadena on the outskirts of Los Angeles, which can be reached in half an hour by car.
Dr. Banner came hurriedly like a mobile blood bank, provided lawyer Jennifer with several hundred milliliters of life-saving blood, and then hurriedly disappeared.
This situation was a bit strange, but Luke didn't pay much attention to it.
Perhaps Dr. Banner is this kind of good cousin who is cold on the outside but warm on the inside! Afraid of being thanked, the otaku would hide in his own laboratory after doing good things. This situation is not uncommon in later generations.
Fortunately, Dr. Banner's mobile phone number had been left at the hospital as part of the admission registration information.
Luke easily got the number and sent a short message to Dr. Banner.
Of course, the wording of the text message couldn't be so simple and straightforward. He could only tell Dr. Banner not to let what happened to Jennifer affect his life and work.
