At this moment, his cell phone rang suddenly, and after picking it up, he said a few words and hung up, Lu Ke suddenly fell silent.
Selena was driving the car and glanced at him: "What's the matter?"
Lu Ke's expression was subtle: "Director Thomas called me just now and said that our case has been handed over, so we don't need to investigate."
Selena: "Handed over to whom?"
Lu Ke: "... It is said that it is FI."
The two returned to the police station, just in time to see four people coming out of the police station, one in front and three behind, all four of them were in black suits and sunglasses, with indifferent faces, looking like a nightclub.
The four of them passed by Lu Ke.
The two entered the lobby of the Major Crime Squad and went to Berrick's office.
Seeing the two come back, Berrick asked casually, "Have you found anything?"
Lu Ke's expression was strange: "Team leader, this case has been handed over by Director Thomas, and we are here to report it to you."
Berrick was stunned: "Hand over? Why didn't I know? The deputy director notified you directly?" His complexion was a little ugly.
It's against the rules for the deputy chief to intervene in his case.
If the higher-ups intervene in everything, what's the use of the heads of the departments below? Be a puppet!
Lu Ke pondered for a while, and said: "Actually, when we first went to the forensic center to investigate the disappearance of the victim's body, we received a call from the deputy director, telling us to leave it alone."
Berrick nodded slightly, he felt a little better, at least these two were not insiders.
He casually found a file on the table: "Then you guys go and follow up on this case." After speaking, he waved his hand to signal the two of them to leave.
Lu Ke should be the two, and left the office.
Selena said in a very low voice: "It seems that Berrick seems very upset."
Lu Ke hummed: "But it shouldn't be aimed at us. Don't think about that, let's take a look at our new case."
The two returned to their desks, opened the file and looked at it, and Selena was immediately shocked: "What does Berrick mean by this? Let the two of us go to this case, and you still say that he didn't target us?"
Lu Ke was not excited, looked at the information on the file, and said in a low voice: "Not necessarily. At least this is Houston. Even if these people engage in arms smuggling, they have not reached the point of fighting the police. Moreover, have you noticed that there is no , the final destination of the arms is Mexico.”
Selena thought for a while, but she was still dissatisfied: "Although we have fought with the Mexican gunman, it doesn't mean we are familiar with it. How could this kind of case be thrown to us? We are only on the first day of work, where? Information from here?"
Lu Ke nodded: "Now we don't have Robert to back us up. Let's find a way by ourselves. If you don't have any information, then you can find it yourself. An informant cannot be cultivated in a day or two."
Selena suddenly thought of something, stuck out her tongue and remained silent.
In fact, the two have no source of information, mainly because Lu Ke asked them to continue to partner.
Otherwise, the two of them each follow an old police detective, and they can use each other's resources first, and then slowly cultivate their own informants and intelligence.
Lu Ke had expected this.
Of course he prefers to be with Selena, because he believes that Selena will support him unconditionally.
In that way, after solving the case, the credits of the two in the police station will be divided equally, but he can get more experience and points from the system.
If it were an old police detective partner, he would be the only one to listen to others, and he would definitely lose a lot of experience after solving the case.
The two didn't delay for too long, and drove out again.
That's the case with detectives from the Major Crimes Unit.
If you want a promotion and a raise, you have to work hard and never get enough work done.
When the two went out, they went to a fast food restaurant for dinner.
Still, it's a Mexican fast food.
The must-have is the Mexican cornmeal... Well, well, it is actually a pancake made of cornmeal, with special fillings and spicy sauce.
It's a delicious meal for two.
Selena's parents are authentic Mexicans, and most of the cooking at home is Mexican.
Lu Ke was a native of Bashu, China in his previous life, and he is completely gifted for spicy, and his true love forever.
Selena ate two special tortillas, Lu Ke ate four, and it took about forty minutes to finish them.
After getting in the car, Selena asked, "How's it going, did you find anything?"
Lu Ke: "Well, this tortilla is not bad, but it's a little worse than Sandra's."
Selena gave him a blank look: "Okay, my mother isn't here, so don't be courteous." Even so, she was still happy in her heart.
Lu Ke hehe, stopped talking about this: "There is no problem on the surface. Of course, we just stopped by for dinner. If it was so easy to see the problem, other people would have solved the case. Let's go, in these four weeks turn around."
The case they got was an arms smuggling case, and the suspect was a Mexican gang.
This is why Selina felt that Berrick was messing with the two of them.
This kind of gang, ranging from dozens to hundreds of people, is simply not something two inexperienced and unconnected police detectives can deal with.
Lu Ke didn't think so in his heart.
Berrick may have meant a little beating, but he certainly didn't expect the two of them to solve the case right away.
If it really broke, what are those detectives under Berrick? Waste
It has been more than two months since we received news about this case, and the detectives who were in charge have been transferred to handle other more urgent cases. Obviously, everyone feels that it is difficult to make any progress in this case.
Selena was driving, and Lu Ke was on the co-pilot to observe the surrounding situation.
Suddenly, he was stunned, and a strange, familiar face seemed to pass in his sight.
He said familiar because he seemed to have seen this face before.
He said strange, but he couldn't remember who this person was, so he must be a stranger.
After driving for tens of meters, Lu Ke suddenly said, "Turn around, go back."
The tacit understanding is just that good, Selena didn't hesitate at all, turned around directly, and just asked: "What did you find?"
At this moment, Lu Ke finally remembered the owner of that face in his mind, and suddenly his expression was strange: "...I just saw a dead man walking by the roadside."
Selena did not suspect that this was a lie, but was surprised: "Who?"
Lu Ke took a light breath: "Do you still remember our case this morning? The victim witch... she just walked by the side of the road."
Selena shook her hand and almost drove the car to the side of the road: "TF?!"
This is a bit scary.
How could a dead person walk by the side of the road? Isn't this special meow hitting a ghost
But she immediately stabilized the car, sped up the speed slightly and drove forward, and her eyes searched the side of the road.
