Chapter 137 Promotion (two chapters in one)
club Gun club.
Today Raymond rested, and Luke asked him to practice shooting together.
After the two met, Raymond proposed to continue practicing moving targets.
Wait until Luke can hit the full target before proceeding to the next training session.
Luke used the pistol card [you can quickly learn about pistols, including but not limited to theory and actual combat.
Learning efficiency is related to the level of coaches, learners' attitudes and qualifications.
Using time limit is 5 hours. 】
The two shot a round each, looking for a touch.
Raymond had 17 shots and hit 17.
Luke hit 14 of 17 rounds.
Last training, Luke's highest record was 17 rounds, 15 hits. He hasn't practiced for a while, and he is rusty.
Afterwards, one of them taught and the other learned.
Luke's progress is rapid.
It was approaching noon, and it had reached 17 rounds, 17 hits, tying Raymond's score.
Of course, there must still be a gap between the two in marksmanship.
For Luke, he finally reached the level of 17 shots and 17 shots.
And Raymond because the standard is only so high.
At noon, the two ate at the club cafeteria.
Unlimited supply of steak and lamb chops.
Luke has eaten buffets worth up to 200 yuan in China.
There is no limit to the amount of steak, but a seat card number is required.
But there are very few restaurants with unlimited mutton. Even if there is mutton, it is a small amount of mutton skewers. It takes a long time to line up, and the taste is so-so.
It stands to reason that the price of beef and mutton is about the same, so there is no need to favor one over another.
This club restaurant does not have a rich variety of dishes, but there is enough beef and mutton, which is relatively affordable.
Ramon took a sip of coffee and said, "Luke, I am amazed by your progress. You were born for shooting."
Luke took a sip of his orange juice, "What do you think of my participation in the next Olympics?"
"Nono, your talent should be used in actual combat, not standing up and shooting targets, that's for kids, anyone in Los Angeles can do it.
This afternoon, we need a new training program, actual combat training. "
"I am looking forward."
"Also, I see you've been using a Glock, have you tried any other pistols?"
Luke asked back, "Is this gun bad?"
"Very well, many policemen like to use this gun, but if you want to become a firearms expert, you need to know and be familiar with more guns. Different guns have different characteristics. Only when you use more guns can you know which one is suitable for you. gun.
So, today's training time may be longer, you have to be prepared. "
Raymond is willing to teach, what is he not willing to learn, "I have no problem, I will study hard."
After dinner, Raymond and Luke went to choose a gun. The club’s stock of guns was much larger than the number of gun stores. You can almost see most of the guns that can be bought on the market here.
As soon as Luke entered the door, he saw a Desert Eagle. He was too familiar with this gun. It was his favorite pistol when playing CF.
I saw this gun at a gun store last time, and the price was only about $400. However, the last two times I went to the gun store with missions, I didn’t have time to look at it carefully.
Raymond said, "Seven bullets, great power, high recoil, and large size will affect the shooting speed. It can be played for fun, but it is not recommended to use it for work."
"It's really not practical, but I want to try it. This big guy is so attractive." Luke picked up a burgundy Desert Eagle, which was really beautiful.
Luke went to the mobile shooting range and fired two magazines with 14 rounds.
After shooting, my hand was a little numb. The recoil of this gun is really strong, and it feels bad to use it for the first time. Luke only hit 9 of 14 bullets, and the shooting speed is much slower than the Glock pistol.
Then, Luke tried the revolver again.
Any gun may jam, and it is more troublesome to deal with jams and duds in magazine pistols.
The revolver is just missing one bullet.
Luke also likes revolvers, which are very handsome, but the disadvantage is also obvious that there are only six bullets, which is nearly three times worse than the Glock pistol with 17 rounds.
Luke During the gun test process, Raymond has been introducing the pistol and talking about some practical knowledge of the pistol.
"Luke, how many pistols do you have?"
"A handful."
"This is not enough. When you are really in danger, a pistol can't handle it at all. The police may encounter various problems in the process of law enforcement, such as someone trying to **** the gun, bullets jammed, and bullets run out. is to be taken into account.
The best way is to choose a spare pistol, and don't let anyone know the existence of this pistol except those who are particularly close.
It can save your life at critical moments.
This is also the purpose of me taking you to test the gun. "
"I see." Luke first tried the Desert Eagle and then the revolver. The problem with both guns was that there were too few bullets.
In the past, the Los Angeles police also used many revolvers, but now they are basically replaced by semi-automatic pistols. If there is only one gun, the problem of jamming will still be considered. If you have a spare gun, you don’t have to worry about it.
The jam rate of Glock pistols is very low, and it is almost impossible for two guns to jam at the same time.
All Luke has to do now is choose a backup gun.
Comprehensive performance is no worse than Glock pistol, small and easy to carry.
After some trials and selections, Luke finally chose the Beretta NANO pistol. Many secret agents like to use this gun, and it is also very common on TV.
Handsome appearance, small size and easy to carry, gun length 143mm, width 23mm, height 106mm, empty gun weight 0.57kg.
This gun comes standard with 6 magazines.
There is also an 8-round magazine with a wide magazine base, which is equivalent to extending the grip, which is convenient for people with large hands to hold.
Luke tried it out, preferring the feel of the 8-round magazine and having more bullets.
After selecting the gun, the time limit for one pistol card has expired, and Luke uses the second pistol card.
Somewhat distressed, but worth it, the next step will be actual combat training.
For the next actual combat shooting, Luke is equipped with two guns, and the Glock pistol is equipped on the right side of the waist. When encountering danger, he can draw the gun and shoot immediately.
The Beretta NANO pistol is small in size, and Luke equipped it on the right rear side as a life-saving gun.
After that, it was the anticipated actual combat training.
The two came to a constructed actual battlefield.
Luke asked, "Is there any request?"
"Just hit all the targets as fast as you can."
"You follow, I will show you."
"OK."
After that, Raymond entered the actual battlefield. The field was also open-air, but it was separated, a bit like a maze. Every time he turned a corner and entered the next field, he would encounter different targets.
There will also be target jumping, which really adds a lot of difficulty.
However, these had little effect on Raymond. He successfully completed the actual combat training and hit every target.
Next, it's Luke's turn to practice.
At first, it looked easy for Raymond to shoot, but it was more difficult to actually operate.
Before shooting a moving target, people were in a fixed posture and did not need to move, but now it is different. People are constantly moving, and they need to constantly pose for shooting and aim, and there may be certain errors.
"Bang bang bang!"
Luke did his best and completed shooting training.
There were a total of fifteen targets in the actual combat training, and he only hit 10 targets. The main reason was that the field became complicated, and some targets were in the wrong position, which made him unsuitable.
Raymond glanced at his watch, a little dissatisfied, "15 targets, 10 targets, the first time the result is not bad.
However, it took you three minutes, which is too slow.
Suspects are not targets, they will fight back, and it is likely that the first suspect you meet has already been killed by the other party.
Why are you shooting so slowly? "
Luke put away his pistol and replied, "Draw, aim, control your breath, pull the trigger, I always do."
"Hmm, it's a standard Weaver shooting method. It is also a shooting method commonly used by many people, but there is a problem with this. What you are facing is not a target, but a suspect.
When facing the police, the suspect will not follow the order of drawing the gun, aiming, controlling breathing, and pulling the trigger.
They only draw guns,
"boom!"
Two steps less, it is faster than you.
Don't talk to me about accuracy.
The suspect on the opposite side may be only ten meters, five meters, or even three meters away from you. Whoever shoots first at this distance will be the one standing. Do you know what I mean?
quick! quick! quick!
This is the standard of survival.
Hit rate is based on fast.
In street fighting, the two sides are very close to each other. If you don't shoot, you probably won't have a chance to shoot, and the hit rate will be out of the question. "
"I see." Luke took a deep breath, speaking simply, but it is not easy to change shooting habits.
"Very well, do it again."
Luke checked the magazine, entered the actual battlefield, bounced out of a target, and drew his gun without any hesitation.
"boom!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
This time, Luke passed the actual battlefield 40 seconds faster, hitting 7 of 15 targets, less than half.
The speed has increased, but the hit rate has decreased.
Raymond said, "Very good, just practice like this, and improve the accuracy on a fast basis."
"Understood." Luke adjusted slightly and entered the actual battlefield again.
The two stayed in the training ground for a whole day, and did not end today's training until the second pistol card expired.
The good news is that his training level has improved rapidly, and the passing time of the last actual combat training was shortened to 1 minute and 50 seconds, which was 1 minute and 10 seconds faster than the first time.
Of the 15 targets, 13 were hit, which is a big improvement compared to the first time when 10 of the 15 targets were hit. Moreover, the hit rate was improved on the premise that the shooting speed increased significantly.
In the words of Raymond, this is not easy to do, he is simply a genius.
There is a pistol shop next to the club gun club, and Luke went directly to the shop to buy a black Beretta NANO pistol.
In the future, he will carry two pistols with him.
Today's training was great, the only thing that made Luke feel a little regretful was not being able to practice rifles.
In Raymond's words, take it step by step, you can't chew as much as you can.
…
Luke took three days off in a row.
On the third day, I didn’t go anywhere, so I stayed at home.
After getting up, I strolled to the community square to have breakfast, and went to the supermarket again.
This supermarket is also opened by people from Huaguo. Almost everything in China can be bought here.
Luke also saw crude lamb loin, which is a good thing, and it is authentic.
Going home after a big purchase, the home projector Luke bought also arrived, and I placed the order together with the little fat man's mountain bike.
He installed the projector in the second bedroom and turned the second bedroom into a small theater.
At noon, Luke didn't eat.
Watching a movie while eating popcorn, Coke, and Haagen-Dazs.
It feels great to have his own theater.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, Daisy came.
Luke took her to visit his own small theater, but didn't invite her to watch a movie together, because there are more important things today.
The next step is the popular BBQ.
Luke loves it so much, I will come here once a week from now on.
The ingredients include steak, lamb loin, bolong, oysters, chicken wings, mushrooms, eggplant, and leeks. He prepared these ingredients, too many for two people to finish.
Luke lit the charcoal fire, and Daisy took the ingredients from the refrigerator.
"You have prepared a lot? Are there any other guests?"
Luke put his arms around her waist, "No, these are all prepared for you alone."
Daisy pointed at the sheep's waist, "What is this? It's the first time I've seen it."
"Lamb loin, grilled and eaten, it tastes great."
Daisy showed a worried look, "Are you sure?"
"Of course, I love eating."
The two chatted while grilling meat.
Daisy opened a bottle of beer and handed it to him, "I went to the Canyon Branch to find out the situation. The suspect who stole the Harley has been released on bail. I'm going to ask the detectives to investigate his family situation. Some fees may be needed."
"How much?"
"About two thousand dollars."
"It seems that the detective industry is quite profitable."
"I'm looking for a detective company that I often cooperate with, and the price is already very low."
"I know, but I have a better way." Luke took out his cell phone and called Matthew,
"Dude, what are you up to?"
“I am helping my neighbors repair computers, why do people always think that those who know how to use computers must know how to repair computers.
I am really helpless when facing this thing, but I have to help, what do you think I should do? "
"It's very simple, just fix the computer."
"is this okay?"
"At least no one will look for you next time."
"Sounds good."
"It requires some small skills to operate, so be smart."
"I understand, by the way, what do you want from me?"
"Almost forgot the business. When I was arresting Elizabeth, the suspect in the burial case, there was a man named Cabin Portia next to me. Please check this person's information for me.
I suspect that this man may also be related to the case. I need more detailed information, including his family status, lest the case be dismissed due to evidence issues, you know. "
"No problem, I'll give it to you after work."
"Thanks buddy."
Hung up the phone, Luke patted Daisy's buttocks, "It's solved, I'll give you the information when I get it."
"Sounds pretty good, much more efficient than the detective company."
"That's right, but it's fine once in a while, not often."
"I see."
Luke sniffed, "The barbecue is almost ready, we can start eating."
Then officially started the BBQ belonging to the two.
Beef, lamb loin, lobster, oysters, and leeks are all good things.
Tonight, I have to exercise well.
"Jingle Bell…"
The phone rings.
Luke pressed the answer button, "Director, what are your orders?"
Rett’s voice came from the phone, “I don’t have any orders, I just want to remind you to remember to wear police uniform tomorrow.”
…
A large indoor arena.
In the early morning, police cars were parked around the stadium.
Ten o'clock in the morning.
A vague melody sounded in the hall.
"The wind is picking up outside the window, I'm leaving today, I want to throw myself into my arms. Hug you, Los Angeles..."
Along with the sound of music, rows of people in dark blue police uniforms entered the arena with confident smiles on their faces. Although they are not close to the people, they can give criminals a strong sense of oppression.
Luke is also one of them, and this is the first time he has officially put on lapd's police uniform.
Similar police rank promotion ceremonies are held about every quarter.
This sense of ritual can also enhance the cohesion of lapd, making them a strong backing for the city.
The police officers who have been promoted to the rank of police will sit in the hall, and the family members who are invited to participate will sit in the surrounding high-level seats.
This honor not only belongs to them personally, but also to their families.
Linda, Robert, and Val all participated, and the little fat man wanted to come too, but Linda refused to ask for leave for him.
Los Angeles Police Chief Frank Reagan stepped onto the stage, with a burly figure and a bushy beard, full of aura.
"I stand at the podium with admiration, gratitude, and blessings for you, well-trained, well-trained, world-class police officers, ready to protect and guard Los Angeles.
You are the heroes of this city.
It is a great honor for me to preside over this promotion ceremony..."
After Frank's affectionate speech, the police rank promotion ceremony officially began.
Luke also boarded the podium to be awarded the title, and the police rank was promoted from the first-level police detective to the second-level police detective.
Among the people in the same batch of titles, he is considered a relatively young one, and his outstanding performance in solving the case recently saved him the time of staying up for years.
Frank shook hands with Luke, and patted him on the shoulder, "I heard Rhett mention you, you're a good guy, work hard."
"I will, sir."
Luke was a little surprised. He didn't expect that so many people were promoted to the police rank, and Director Frank actually knew himself.
This is the boss of the Los Angeles City Council. (Equivalent to the director of the Shanghai Municipal Public Security Bureau.)
Of course, this must be the key role of Deputy Director Reid. From this, it can be seen that Reid really values Luke.
This also makes sense, Reid also walked out of the First Squadron of the Robbery and Murder Division, and now he is also the director of the Robbery and Murder Division, belonging to Luke's immediate boss.
Moreover, Reid and the deputy team have partnered before, and Luke is also a member of the first squadron now, belonging to his own people.
Luke can solve crimes and understand the world, there is no reason for Rhett not to promote him.
The conferring ceremony is over, and the police officers and their family members get together. This is their warm time.
Robert, Linda, and Val also found Luke.
Robert gave Luke a hug, "I'm proud of you, I haven't attended a decent award ceremony for a long time, our family needs similar honors.
You're the real man of the family, uh huh. "
val "..."
"My son, I'm proud of you." Linda also hugged Luke, choked up, "I'm really happy to see what you've achieved today.
do you know?
There was a time when you really looked like Val, the same…
I've been worried that you...
It’s almost over, and you are the best now.
I am proud of you. "
val "..."
"Grandpa, Mom, Uncle Val, thank you for coming to my police rank promotion ceremony.
You also have a share of this honor. "During this period of getting along, Luke has already integrated into this not-so-harmonious family.
"Luke, thank you for remembering me. I thought I was invisible." Val already regretted it.
He shouldn't have come.
Write a new case in the next chapter.
New case sorting out...
