Chapter 313 Trust
The next morning.
During his sleep, Luke was awakened by a familiar voice.
【Congratulations to the host, for solving a series of bank robberies in North Hollywood, successfully arresting six suspects, and rewarding 70 lucky draw opportunities. 】
Luke rubbed his eyes, yawned, and lay down for another ten minutes before getting out of bed.
After he got up, he washed himself first, and then drank a glass of warm water.
Breakfast is very simple, a pot of coffee, a glass of milk, a sandwich, a chicken roll, an orange, the chicken roll and the sandwich can be heated in a microwave, and the whole breakfast is ready in a few minutes.
As long as he is not busy with work, Luke usually eats breakfast in the yard. The air is fresh, the environment is good, and the food in his mouth will make him feel good all day.
Luke first ate a chicken roll to pad his stomach, and then began to draw a lottery.
Draw!
The pointer stops, and the shielding card [can shield the communication signal within 20 meters around within ten minutes (can be interrupted at any time)]
Luke drew fifty times and got 6 cards in total.
Respectively, 5 new cards and shielded cards.
1 old card, probe card.
Also received $64,000 in prize money.
Two kinds of cards were drawn this time, one new card and one old card.
New card shielding card, the effect is somewhat similar to a jammer, the advantage is that it is easy to carry.
How to say about the jammer, most of the time you don’t need it, and when you use it, you can’t find it.
It is impossible to carry this thing with you 24 hours a day.
But once used, it can definitely play a big role.
For example, this time to arrest the robbers in the bank robbery. On the way to **** Muriel Baldini to work, Luke temporarily guessed that Muriel Baldini might be kidnapped by the robbers and was strapped with a remote control bomb .
It is precisely because of this that he dare not carry out the arrest operation.
But if Luke has a shielding card, he won’t have too many scruples. As long as the shielding card is used, the signal from the remote control will be blocked. There will be no threat of bombs, and the arrest operation will be smoother.
Detection card 【Detect unknown electronic devices within ten meters around, such as monitoring, monitoring, recording, tracking and other functional devices. 】
This is an old card. Luke didn't use it very often before, but it doesn't mean that this card is not very useful.
On the contrary, this is a very good card.
Luke has also watched some American dramas, and he discovered a pattern. Many big figures with big hands covering the sky and careful thoughts are defeated by black materials before they succeed.
At that time, I was not mature enough and not cautious enough. The main reason was that if I wanted to succeed, I needed to cooperate with others and exchange benefits.
It may not matter once or twice, but if there are too many times, it is inevitable that someone will leave evidence, monitor, eavesdrop, etc.
If you are not successful, these evidences may sink into the sea. Once you succeed, these evidences will be the black material to bring you down.
Luke is not considered a big shot yet, but if he wants to go further and become a big shot, he needs to build more relationships, and the exchange of interests is also necessary.
Just like the relationship between him and Orti, Luke will use his position to help the Pinkerton Detective Agency to do some things. These things will not affect the work of the police department, and they can get a lot of money with just a little effort. Benefit.
But his conversation with Orti was made public, which will also affect his future.
Every time he talks to Orti, he will choose a swimming pool, hot spring, etc. where there is water. It may be fine in a short period of time, but if it continues like this, it will be difficult to increase the trust between the two.
In addition, Orti agreed to Luke's request out of weakness. In the future, Luke may negotiate with people of higher status than himself, and he can't let them take off their clothes and talk in the swimming pool.
At this time, the effect of the detection card is reflected, which will not hurt the peace, and can prevent problems before they happen.
It was rarely used in the past, which only shows that Luke's level is low and has no use value.
But in the future, as Luke's fame, status, and status increase, the frequency of use will increase.
…
In the morning, Luke rushed to the police station to start the closing procedures of the North Hollywood bank robbery.
In this case, although Muriel Baldini was the mastermind behind it, Soest was the one most charged.
However, the case of Muriel Baldini is not over. The Economic Crime Division has also opened a case for investigation of her company. Once convicted, she will also face serious criminal charges.
"Boom boom."
At four o'clock in the afternoon, there was a knock on Luke's office door.
"Come in."
The door opened, and Rhett walked into the office, "Luke, I have good news for you."
Luke guessed, "I'm going to be a regular?"
"No, but it's coming soon."
"What good news that is."
"The General Administration received a notification from the White House. In view of your heroic performance in the Las Vegas shooting incident, the commander-in-chief decided to award you the 'Public Security Officers Medal of Bravery'. The award ceremony was held in Washington on October 22.
congratulations. "
"Public Safety Officers Medal for Valor?"
"Yes."
"I thought it was the Medal of Freedom. After all, I don't have law enforcement authority in Las Vegas."
"You are a policeman, this medal is more suitable for you, you are the first in our entire police department, let's have fun."
"So, I have won honor for the bureau?"
"certainly."
"Is there a bonus?"
"Hehe, I will fight for you."
"How many can there be?"
"At least enough to pay for your trip to Washington?"
"Don't be too stingy in the bureau. I am going to Washington this time to represent the entire Los Angeles Police Department."
"Then you should ask Frank, not me."
Luke smiled wryly, "Then I have to see it too."
"Prepare well. This is a medal awarded by the commander in person, and it is also the highest honor for a policeman. As you said, you are not going to Washington this time alone, but on behalf of the entire Los Angeles Police Department. If you need anything Please let me know.
If you have difficulties, the bureau will help you solve them. "
"Before I go, I want to rest for two days to adjust."
"As long as you explain the work to the deputy team, it's fine."
"Can I bring my family with me to the awarding ceremony?"
"Of course, this honor belongs not only to you alone, but also to your family."
“Whoa, that’s another big expense.”
"Don't ask me to reimburse you for this, the bureau is only responsible for you."
"How many days am I going to be in Washington?"
"You can play there for a few days, it's considered a tourist. I will send you the specific award time and arrangement."
"Thank you Director, you are so considerate."
"However, I want to warn you. Washington is not Los Angeles. Don't act impulsively."
"I remember."
"Very well, I'm leaving." Reid came out of the captain's office and said to the team members in the office area,
"Guys, I have good news for you. Captain Luke has a treat tonight."
Luke spread his hands and sent Rhett to the door of the office.
Xiao Hei smiled and said, "Captain, what shall we eat tonight? Hot pot?"
Luke was speechless, shameless, he didn't ask me if I wanted a treat, but just asked me what to eat?
Jackson asked curiously, "Captain, why are you entertaining guests? Are you getting married too?"
Luke said, "I'm single."
Xiao Hei felt that these words sounded familiar. Why do you look so much like me back then? Smelly and shameless.
The deputy team guessed, "You became a regular?"
Xiao Hei agreed, "That's right, that's exactly what I want to say."
"No, in fact, I also think that I should treat guests when I become a regular." Luke laughed,
"How about this, I'll give you one day, if you can guess, I'll treat you, if you can't guess, invite me together after I become a regular."
Matthew said, "Captain, you have received the Public Safety Officer Medal for Valor!"
Luke was surprised, "How do you know?"
Matthew said, "Open the official website of the General Administration, the headline on the front page.
Captain, you are on fire. "
"Wow..." Everyone showed envious looks, and they turned on their computers to check.
Xiao Hei shouted, "Luke, it's true, there's your photo on it."
Luke was also a little surprised, this is too fast, Rhett just told himself that the General Administration announced it directly on the official website.
The deputy team said, "Luke, it's okay, you have to treat. And it's a big meal. Getting this medal is more worth celebrating than your becoming a regular."
Jackson, "Mexican food is also good."
Jenny said, "Actually, I prefer French food."
Luke "…"
Fuck your sister, Fuck you, you're going to bankrupt me.
…
Seven o'clock in the evening.
Papani Mexican Restaurant.
Luke was still cheated for a meal. After much deliberation, Jackson's proposal is more reliable.
The more it is at this time, the more low-key it is, so Luke didn't even call David, and only invited a few people from the first squadron.
The deputy team toasted, "Guys, raise your glass and toast our Captain Luke."
"Captain, congratulations on receiving the Medal of Valor of Public Security Officers." Everyone toasted.
"Thank you." Luke also took a sip from his glass.
The deputy captain smiled, "Do you know? I suddenly feel that my future is bright, and I have the hope of becoming the captain again."
Luke reminded, "Deputy team, I'm still here."
"I know, but I feel that you will be promoted soon, who is better than me in the team?" The deputy team glanced around.
Luke smiled, "Deputy team, I didn't hit you, I haven't become a regular yet, and it's too early to be promoted."
The deputy team said, "It seems that you still don't understand the meaning of the Medal of Valor for Public Security Officers. This medal is the highest honor bestowed by the country on national public security officials. It is awarded by the commander in person. The benefits brought by this national honor will be accompanied by A police officer's life.
If I have this medal, even if Frank sees me, he will have to give me some face.
Luke, you're going to get rich. "
Xiao Hei showed a curious look, "Deputy team, what benefits and benefits does this medal have?"
The deputy team was silent for a moment, "It seems that after receiving the medal, they will enjoy a special pension of 300 US dollars per month for life...I can't remember the rest..."
"I thought you knew everything."
"Please don't embarrass an old man who is almost seventy years old. Besides, I didn't get it either. You should ask Luke, he is the medalist."
"After I receive the award, I will come back and tell you." Luke smiled and raised his glass,
"Guys, thank you for your support, I would not have been able to achieve this honor without you.
There is also your contribution here.
Thanks. "
…
After eight o'clock in the evening, everyone left.
Xiao Hei proposed to go to the bar for the second scene.
But Luke didn’t go, and Ortie texted him to ask to meet.
At about nine o'clock, Luke returned home and saw a white car parked at the door, and Ortie was sitting on a stool in the yard waiting for him.
Luke still has a good impression of Ortie, the rich girl.
"Hey, Beauty Coach, I've kept you waiting."
"I don't dare to call myself your coach. Your diving skills are better than mine now." Orti picked up a gift box from the round table,
"Captain Luke, congratulations on receiving the Public Safety Officer Medal for Valor."
"Thank you." Luke took the box, "I like this brand of champagne.
Come in, let's just have a drink. "
Luke invited Orti into the house, opened the champagne, poured two glasses, and the appetizers were cornflakes and blueberries.
For Los Angeles people, this appetizer is already very good.
"Cheers." Luke raised his glass, took a sip,
"Good wine.
Orti, what can I do for you today? "
"Uh..." Orti pointed to his clothes, "I came here in a hurry today, and I didn't book a hotel room with a swimming pool. Can I borrow the bathroom? And a bathrobe?"
Luke smiled, and he couldn't hear a little dissatisfaction in the other party's tone.
Luke has been with Ortie a few times, but the other party is more disciplined, and he has gained a lot of benefits from the cooperation with the Pinkerton Detective Agency several times.
Because of his status as a police officer, Luke is more cautious every time he comes into contact with Ortie. When talking about sexual issues, he will ask the other party to wear cooler clothes. It is easier to accept a swimming pool or hot spring, but this occasion is somewhat Embarrassed.
Orti will definitely feel a little 'wronged' in his heart, and it may be an insult to some people with strong self-esteem, and they may even secretly hate Luke.
Through these several contacts with Orti, judging from the attitude and reaction of the other party, she should not have the tendency to hold grudges against herself, but it is not close to her either.
The relationship between the two has always been indifferent.
It's not difficult to understand. Every time Luke talks about things, he puts on a posture of distrust. How can he be willing to get closer to you.
Luke has carefully considered that such a relationship is difficult to maintain for a long time. Judging from the recent contacts, the line of Pinkerton Detective Agency is still very valuable, and the two parties are mutually beneficial.
"You don't need to go to the bathroom, just talk directly if you have something to say. Of course, if you want to stay overnight, you can use the bathroom as you like."
Orti was a little surprised, "Wow, this is not like your usual style."
Luke said, "It's true that I don't trust people easily, but if I choose to trust someone... I will have no reservations."
"It sounds a little moved, I am now someone you trust?"
"Of course." Luke responded and directly used a detection card.
He now has 5 detection cards, rather than idle, he might as well use them up.
After using the card, it shows that there is nothing abnormal, and Luke can talk with confidence.
"Thank you for your trust, this may be my biggest gain today." Orti's tone was sincere.
"So, are you going to stay overnight?"
"Another day." Orti smiled, and changed the topic, "Luke, it's time for us to talk about business."
"All ears."
Orti pulled a brand new check from his bag. "It's yours."
Luke glanced at the amount, "$150,000, which exceeded my expectations."
Orti said, "After the bank of North Hollywood was robbed, the insurance company suspected that there was something wrong with the amount of compensation, and hired a detective agency to investigate the matter.
No matter what the purpose is, this matter was settled by you, and the client is very grateful to you. The 50,000 US dollars is the consulting fee paid to you by the detective firm, but it will be paid in the name of labor subsidies.
As for the other $100,000, it is an extra reward given to you by the detective agency after you receive the Medal of Valor of Public Safety Officers. "
"So generous, what else do I need to do?"
"You are a consultant of the Pinkerton Detective Agency, the more famous you are, the more help you will be to the Detective Agency.
In theory, you don't need to do anything.
However, the headquarters of Pinkerton is in Washington, I can show you around, there are many people who want to know you.
In fact, not only the headquarters of Pinkerton is in Washington, but many large companies have their headquarters and branches here. If you want, I can introduce you to some friends. "
"let me consider it."
"Have you been to Washington before?"
"No."
"Call me when you think about it, I will be a good guide. Moreover, you have just won the highest award that the country bestows on public security officials, and you are honored. It would be a pity not to take this opportunity to participate in some activities."
Luke thought for a while, "Is it a free guide?"
"Just take care of the food."
"Deal." Luke raised his glass, and the two clinked glasses.
Orti took a sip of champagne and asked curiously, "Luke, did you get the Public Safety Officer Medal for Valor because of the Las Vegas shooting?"
"should be."
"I have learned about this shooting incident. I heard that there were more than 800 casualties in the open-air concert, but there was only one shooter. Can you tell me how you subdued him? I'm very curious, super curious..."
Luke said, "Actually, the process is not complicated. Many people are frightened by the death toll. The gunman is no different from ordinary gangsters except for carrying a large number of modified rifles.
After I determined the location of the gangster, I rushed to the hotel room as soon as possible, broke the door, and shot him. After he was shot, he chose to shoot himself.
Honestly, it was a lot of luck that I was awarded this Public Safety Officer Medal of Valor…”
The two chatted for half an hour, and the bottle of champagne had run out before Orti offered to leave.
This is also the first time that Orti has talked so much 'gossip' with Luke since the two met. They used to do business and leave after finishing their work.
Luke sent Orti to the courtyard gate.
Orti took the initiative to kiss Luke on the cheek, "Thank you for your trust."
Luke watched Ortie get into the car and waved goodbye.
Judging from Orti's attitude, Luke feels that his choice is correct. People are mutual. If you trust each other, the other party will also open up.
As Ortie is the contact person of Luke and Pinkerton Detective Agency, it is necessary to have a good relationship with her and deepen trust.
Of course trust belongs to trust. If it comes to the topic of M sensation, Luke will still use the probe card.
Do not have the heart to harm others, nor do you have the heart to guard against others.
This is especially true for women, especially beautiful women.
