Chapter 110 Promotion (addition 612)
Los Angeles City Prison for Women.
The prison door opened, and a woman in her thirties came out. She seemed to feel the sunlight was a bit dazzling. The woman covered her forehead with her right hand, and walked forward with her head down.
"Lindsay."
The woman stopped and was taken aback for a moment, as if she didn't expect someone to call her.
Looking in the direction of the voice, there was a black pickup parked not far away, and David was sitting in the car waving to her.
Lindsay hesitated for a while, walked over, opened the car door, and got into the co-pilot.
"You shouldn't be here?"
"I asked for leave today." David looked at his wife who was a little strange, "Your face is hurt, are you okay?"
"I'm fine, just some small problems." Lindsay pursed her lips, a little at a loss, "Thank you, I don't have any money now, those bail money..."
"It's all trivial, as long as you're fine." David started the car, "What do you want to eat? I'll treat you."
"Hamburger, I'm going crazy inside."
"How about going to the one we used to go to?"
"No, just find one at random, I don't really want to go to familiar places."
The car was driving on the road, neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere in the car was awkward.
Lindsay said, "Listen, why don't you pull over and put me down, so everyone will be more comfortable."
David said, "I helped you contact a drug rehabilitation center. After dinner, I'll take you there."
Lindsay opened her mouth, hesitated to speak, "Thank you."
Arrived at a hamburger restaurant, the two sat in the corner, and David ordered three hamburgers.
Lindsay's eyes were red, "Do you still remember... mushroom burgers, bacon burgers."
"Although it's not that store, I think you should want to eat these two flavors."
"Yeah, thank you." Lindsay lowered her head and gently wiped her tears.
When the meal was over, neither of them spoke.
After the meal, David sent Lindsay to a rehab facility.
When we parted, David hesitated to speak, and finally said lightly, "Call me if you have anything to do."
Lindsay bit her lip and mustered up her courage, "Let's get a divorce."
David hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "OK."
"We will still be friends in the future, which is good for everyone." After Lindsay finished speaking, she felt relaxed.
strode into the drug rehabilitation center.
…
Police Detective Agency.
Luke returned empty-handed, feeling a little depressed inevitably.
The deputy team knew what Luke was going to do, and asked, "Have you gained anything?"
"No." He was embarrassed to say that he had caught an underage girl who made a fake certificate for drinking.
I can't afford to lose that person.
The deputy team laughed, "That's normal, good things can't happen to you alone."
Luke poured a cup of coffee and took a sip.
Seeing Xiao Hei sitting at the desk in a daze, looking a little disappointed, this is not his style.
If something is abnormal, there must be a demon.
Luke walks across from him, "Hey, dumped?"
Xiao Hei shook his head, "It's about work."
Luke looks out the window, "Wow...is the sun out in the west?"
"What I said is true."
Luke asked, "The identification scene didn't go well?"
"No, we found Badman Pall's body."
"It's good that the case is over, why are you so depressed."
Xiao Hei sighed, "I don't know how to tell Jaden and Laura that this is not a good thing for them, and it is not so easy to accept."
Luke also guessed his knot, "Let me tell."
"Thank you." Xiao Hei said firmly, "I still want to tell them personally."
Luke didn't bother to persuade him anymore, just like what the deputy team said in the morning meeting, no matter how smart a person is, there are times when he gets into a dead end.
What's more, he is not smart either.
"Crackling..."
The door of the office opened, and Susan greeted, "Luke, come in."
Luke nodded. Although he was embarrassed to say it, he still had to report to the leader.
Luke closed the door of the office, "Captain, what are your orders?"
"Good thing." Susan gestured for Luke to sit down and handed him a document, "Your performance has been excellent recently and you have successfully obtained a promotion opportunity, this is a written document.
Congratulations, Inspector Luke. "
"Wow..." Although he knew it in advance, he was still very happy to be promoted.
At least in the future, I can sit on an equal footing with David.
Directing Xiao Hei and Jenny to do things is more confident.
Inspector Luke, sounds good.
The Los Angeles Police Department has 21 districts under its jurisdiction, which are divided into 4 command areas by region, called branch offices.
Canyon Branch, Central Branch, Western Branch, Southern Branch.
lapd is divided into nine levels, bureau chief, deputy bureau chief, sub-bureau chief, captain, team leader, inspector, criminal police, patrol, police officer.
In addition, there are two additional branches, the Police Detective Bureau and the Special Operations Bureau, and their duties are also somewhat different.
Positions of the Police Detective Bureau: Branch Director, Director, Deputy Director, Captain, Deputy Team, Chief Detective, Detective.
Excellent or senior patrol officers can apply to become police detectives, which require strict assessment.
Ordinary branches also have their own night shift detectives.
The rank of police detective is higher than that of ordinary patrol police.
Luke's police rank is now a first-class detective, slightly lower than David.
Police ranks are evaluated based on comprehensive conditions such as working years, ability, and medals, which will also affect job promotion to a certain extent.
"Captain, do I need to go through any formalities?"
"No, Deputy Director Reid has already done it for you, and the green light is given along the way, all you need to do is sign.
In his words, people like you shouldn't waste energy on such trivial matters. "
Luke smiled, "It's so sweet."
Susan nodded, "As long as you have the ability, Rhett will support you, which is also his advantage."
"Captain, thank you for your help too."
"Do I have one?"
"Of course, you've been pushing me."
"OK, I'll take it as you are praising me."
Luke opened his mouth and was about to say something when there was a noise outside.
…
Outside the office.
Rett walked in with Maguire Harry, brother of the deceased Riley Harry.
Everyone was a little surprised, why did these two people get together.
Susan and Luke also came out of the office.
Red came over and patted Luke on the shoulder, "Do you know?"
"Yes, the captain just informed me. Director, thank you very much for your support."
"That's what you deserve." Deputy Director Reid smiled and greeted everyone, "OK, I'd like to make an official announcement.
Everyone, starting today, Detective Luke is officially promoted to Inspector. "
Everyone has different expressions, some are surprised, some are envious.
The deputy team was the first to react and applauded, "Inspector Luke, you deserve your name."
Xiao Hei was surprised and said, "Wow, you will really become a detective in the future?" Xiao Hei had a bad premonition, and estimated that his future life would not be too easy.
Raymond said, "Luke, congratulations."
"Thanks."
Jenny pointed at Luke, "Inspector Luke, don't forget to treat me another day."
"There is no need to change the day, everyone is going tonight, Director, if you have time, I hope you can also be there."
"Of course, I have long wanted to have a few drinks with you, and the vice team, we haven't had a drink together for a long time."
The deputy team spread their hands, "Red, it's you who are too busy, not me."
"You're right, I'll accept the punishment tonight." After Reid finished speaking, he pointed to Maguire Harry beside him,
"Now, I would like to solemnly introduce Mr. Maguire Harry.
Everyone knows him.
Riley Harry is a respectable lady, and her death is a pity for the entire Los Angeles.
Maguire Harry is also a generous gentleman. In order to thank the police department for catching the murderer, he is willing to donate 300,000 US dollars to the police department for repairs and purchases.
In addition, in order to thank the First Squadron of the Robbery and Murder Division for recovering the extortion video, they are willing to offer a reward of 200,000 US dollars as a reward. "
Xiao Hei was a little surprised, "That means our team can share two hundred thousand dollars."
Rett nodded and said with a smile, "You can refuse if you want."
"Nono, I am happy to accept this bonus." Xiao Hei quickly changed his words.
Afterwards, Maguire Harry also said a few words of thanks, and left accompanied by Deputy Director Reid.
Xiao Hei couldn't wait to ask, "Our first squadron has a bonus of 200,000 US dollars, how much can I share?"
"The two hundred thousand is not divided equally, but according to the contribution of the investigation. The murderer was discovered by Luke, and he was also caught. This kid must be divided the most."
"He deserves it." Xiao Hei was able to calm down and smiled, "I didn't realize that this Maguire Harry is quite generous, and it was 200,000 U.S. dollars.
Aren’t rich people all stingy? "
The deputy captain pouted, "Didn't you hear that? He took out the money to silence us."
"What do you mean?" Xiao Hei still didn't quite understand.
Luke reminded, "He was worried that the video of Riley Harry playing poker would be leaked."
Xiao Hei said disapprovingly, "It's illegal to leak evidence, who would do that?"
Luke laughed, "The important thing is not whether you can do it, but he thinks you can do it."
"Good point." The deputy team agreed.
Actually, there is something he hasn’t said yet. When Riley Harry was killed, the police arrived at the scene and the reporters also arrived.
The reporters are not prophets, how did they hear the news?
Don't think too much, there must be an informant among the police.
This kind of thing is very common. In order to dig out breaking news, reporters will make some friends in the police force, hoping that they can provide some 'exclusive' news.
It's a bit like the undercover police arrange in the gang.
The difference is that the reporter is more selective as an informant.
The police are not fools, and they will not risk breaking the law to provide 'top secret' information.
Mostly they will talk about some clues that are valuable to reporters but will not affect the police investigation.
It's like the murder of Riley Harry. Many people in the police station have been in touch with this matter. It's hard to tell who told the news to the reporter.
It may also be unintentional.
There may also be more than one person.
In short, if you really want to check it, it's a mess.
This is why Maguire Harry is willing to provide a bonus. To put it bluntly, it is to buy Luke and others.
Although Luke and others will not do such a violation of discipline.
But Maguire Harry doesn't know them.
Spending money to buy peace of mind, he thinks it's worth it.
This is enough.
Many book friends have been asking about Luke's current position and level.
I’ll summarize it for you today.
