LA Detective

Chapter 178 Awarding Ceremony
Luke rested at home for three days.

Going back to the police station is already full.

The police station is very different today, with significantly more people in uniform.

Although Luke didn't change into the police uniform directly, there was also a folded police uniform in his bag.

Today is the day of awarding medals!

As soon as he arrived at the office, Luke found that Xiao Hei was very stinky and was wearing a neat police uniform.

Xiao Hei pointed to the police uniform and asked, "What do you think of me wearing a police uniform? I haven't worn a police uniform for a long time."

David laughed, "You should walk around the police station in your police uniform so everyone knows you're going to attend the presentation ceremony."

"Good idea, what do you guys think if I go to the Publicity Department first? There are more girls there.

david "..."

The little black fart walked away.

Jenny shook her head, "Sure enough, he is still him and has never changed."

The deputy team laughed, "The fastest way to get out of a relationship is to start a new relationship."

From a certain point of view, Xiao Hei's approach is correct.

Jenny rolled her eyes, secretly thinking that she finally understands why you have been divorced so many times.

Luke's cell phone rang, and he took it out to see that it was Lawrence's number.

After hesitating for a moment, he still answered, "Hello."

"Luke, I'm Lawrence."

"Hello, what's the matter?"

"I asked you something last night, remember?"

"Last night..." Luke paused, as if thinking, "Oh, I remembered, the two of us drank together last night, and you got me drunk.

I didn't see it, but you are quite old enough to drink. "

Lawrence began to curse in his heart, is that me pouring you?It is you who are feeding yourself.

"You should still remember what I told you last night."

"What did you say?"

Lawrence reminded, "It's Gordon's business, Gordon's lawsuit."

"Gordon? The guy who plays basketball in the NBA?"

Lawrence was stunned, "Is there someone named Gordon in the NBA?"

"It seems so, what's the matter? Do you want to ask me to watch the NBA together?"

"No, I'm not asking you to watch basketball together." Lawrence was a little speechless, "Do you have time tonight? Let's talk about it."

"Sorry, not tonight, the police station has activities. I guess I have to work overtime tonight."

"Then when do you have time..."

Before Lawrence finished speaking, Luke interrupted him, "Sorry, our captain is calling me, let's talk another day."

After speaking, Luke hung up the phone.

"Deputy team, you have been married so many times, how do you deal with the old man?"

The deputy team raised an eyebrow, "Are you sure you want to know?"

"of course."

"We don't meet many times, maybe once or twice a year, and usually send a bouquet of flowers."

Luke "..."

……

After one o'clock in the afternoon.

At the Los Angeles Convention Center, police cars drove into the parking lot of the venue one after another.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the medal awarding ceremony will be officially held here.

A familiar melody of music sounded in the hall.

"The wind is picking up outside the window. I'm leaving today. I want to throw myself in my arms and hug you, Los Angeles..."

Accompanied by the sound of music, Luke, Susan, the deputy team, David, Raymond, Marcus, Jenny, and Matthew entered the venue one after another in neat police uniforms.

It's not the first time Luke has come here, but last time he came alone to attend the police rank promotion ceremony.

This time, the whole team participated in the award ceremony together.

During this period of time, Luke has solved many cases, both due to his own efforts and thanks to the team.

Because of the group medal, more police officers participated in the awarding ceremony this time than in the last awarding ceremony.

Both sides of the stand were full of family members of police officers, Robert, Linda, and Fatty all came.

Director Frank Regan stepped onto the stage to speak. Some people are born to be the protagonists. As long as Frank stands there, even if he doesn't speak, he can give people a sense of security and trust.

This is a guy who makes people look reliable.

Although Luke can't be sure, but from Reid's few words, he feels that this Director Frank is probably the real organizer of the sea fishing club.

Of course, at Luke's current level, it's not realistic to want to participate in his team's game. It's not that people look down on him, but the gap between the two sides is too big, and it's hard to have any common language.

However, being able to agree with Luke to join the Sea Fishing Club proves that the boss still appreciates Luke, at least it proves that Luke is a potential stock.

Luke also got to know Frank indirectly during this time. This boss has a great influence in the Los Angeles police system. Let me give you a simple example.

His father had also been the chief of the Los Angeles Police Department before, and his style was very tough, and he punished criminals severely.

The Regan family belongs to a standard police family, and his son and daughter are also engaged in judicial-related industries.

If he can get the appreciation of this boss, Luke will be able to gain a firm foothold in the Los Angeles police system, and it is only a matter of time before he gets promoted and raises his salary.

Frank did not speak for a long time, and soon the awarding ceremony officially began.

The first award is the group medal.

Members of the No. [-] Squadron of the Robbery and Murder Division have performed outstandingly recently, repeatedly solving major cases, and have won the Medal of Collective Excellence.

Susan led the crowd to the stage to accept the award.

Luke was pushed to second place by Vincent.

Vincent followed Luke willingly as a green leaf.

David held his head high and walked firmly.

Raymond has a restrained temperament and is serious.

Xiao Hei raised his chin and smiled.

Jenny put on light makeup and looked like a policewoman.

Matthew walked last, with a shy smile.

Everyone came to the stage to salute, and the director Frank personally awarded the medal.

Frank helped everyone put on their medals and said a few words of encouragement.

Although it was just a few words on the scene, Frank's charismatic personality was very strong, and he gave everyone a shot in the arm, at least for three to five days.

After the group medals are issued, the next step is the individual medals.

Not surprisingly, Luke has recently performed outstandingly and made significant progress, winning a Medal of Courage.

For Luke, this is the recognition of him by the top management of the Los Angeles Police Department, and it is his personal honor.

In addition to the glory, the medal can also get a lot of money.

Collective Medal of Excellence, $1 each.

The Medal of Courage, which awards individuals $2.

For these two medals alone, Luke can get a reward of [-] US dollars.

I have to say that it is still a benefit from banknotes.

At the end of the awarding ceremony, the police officers found their families to share their glory and joy.

The little fat man ran over and hugged Luke, "Brother, I'm so proud of you! You were so handsome when you came up to accept the award. Can I see your medal?"

Luke laughed, "Of course, as long as you don't trade them for money."

"I'm going to take a picture and show Maggie."

Luke "..."

You boy is simply obsessed.

"Hi, my dear grandson, you will always be my pride." Robert came and hugged Luke.

"Grandpa, thank you for coming to my awarding ceremony."

"I have to come. As long as there are similar activities in the future, I will be notified. I don't care about other people, but I will definitely come. This is the glory of the whole family."

"I will." Luke replied with a smile, and looked at Linda next to him, "Mom, is your son handsome on stage?"

"It's so handsome, even more handsome than Pete and Xiao Li."

Linda's eyes were red. As a single mother, she saw her son's growth. No one could be happier than her.

"Where's Uncle Val?"

Robert shrugged. "His name is not suitable for this occasion. Just ignore him for now."

Luke persuaded, "Grandpa, uncle is already trying to change, you have to have some confidence in him."

"I hope." Robert responded lightly, and it seemed that he didn't have much expectation, "Luke, what time do you get off work at night, how about we celebrate? This is a meaningful day.

It is worth remembering. "

Luke said, "Not today, the team will have dinner tonight. This is the first time we have won a team medal."

Robert patted Luke on the shoulder, "Sure, Grandpa will make it up for you another day."

……

eight pm.

Buffalo Grill Bar.

This restaurant specializes in barbecue, among which charcoal grilled chicken is the signature dish.

Steaks, lamb chops, pork chops, fish, and seafood are all available, and the taste is also good.

Members of the First Squadron of the Robbery and Murder Division sat around a circular dining table.

They often drink in the bar, and the number of dinners is really not much.

But today is different. Everyone has won the collective medal, which is the honor of the team. Everyone is very happy, and the meaning of the dinner is extraordinary.

Susan picked up the wine glass, "Everyone, our squadron won the collective excellence medal because of everyone's efforts.

I have not been in No. [-] Squadron for a long time, but I can clearly feel everyone's hard work and progress, and thank you for your support. I would like to offer you a toast. "

"cheers"

Everyone raised their glasses and clinked glasses with Susan.

As Susan said, everyone is making progress, but Susan herself has not changed.

Susan was out of place from the start.

To gradually understand and acquiesce to some of the team members' handling methods.

Since Susan became the captain, the Ministry of Internal Affairs seldom came to 'cause trouble' again. From this alone, many people will praise Susan.

The reason for this change is that Susan will promptly remind everyone to make corrections if they violate the rules.

Another Susan has worked in the Ministry of Internal Affairs for many years. She has connections and knows how to avoid some mistakes.

It was a lively party tonight, and everyone looked very happy.

"Luke, didn't you get a personal medal? Show it out for everyone to see." Xiao Hei stared at a pair of big eyes, his face full of curiosity.

Luke didn't hide it either, and took out the Medal of Courage for everyone to see.

Xiao Hei held it in his hand and observed carefully, "I like this medal, it's completely different from the collective medal."

David smiled and said, "You like a lot of things." Afterwards, he also took the medal and looked at it carefully before returning it to Luke.

Dinner was almost over, and everyone gathered together to drink and chat.

David drank a lot of wine tonight, and he looked a little different from the past.

Luke reminded, "David, don't get drunk and don't want me to take you home."

"I'm fine." David picked up the wine in the glass and drank it down again.

Then David stood up, "Guys, I have something to say."

Seeing what David said formally, everyone stopped and looked at him.

"Uh... I may have to be transferred.

That's right, transferred to another department.

I have spoken to the captain and the captain agrees.

So I want to take this opportunity to tell you all.

To be honest, it is not easy to open this mouth.But I still want to say it myself. "

David patted the medal on his chest, "This medal was obtained through our joint efforts. It is also the only medal I got when I came to the Robbery and Murder Division.

It has witnessed our efforts, our friendship, and our past, and I think it is enough.

I am very satisfied and have no regrets. "

Xiao Hei was shocked by the sudden news, "David, did you drink too much? Why did you start talking nonsense?"

"No, what I said is true.

I'm going to be transferred to the Anti-crime and Anti-drug Division, and the documents should be approved soon. "

Xiao Hei was still a little hard to accept, "This... this is too fast."

Vice-team Vincent asked, "Why did you transfer to the Anti-Mafia and Anti-drug Division? What position did they give you?"

"Vice Team"

Vincent's deputy nodded, "Sounds good, and it's an opportunity."

"I think so too."

Seeing that David had already made up his mind, Luke didn't persuade him any more, "Congratulations."

Jenny said, "Although you are not easy to get along with, I still feel a little bit reluctant to leave suddenly."

Xiao Hei nodded, "Me too."

It was rare for Raymond to take the initiative to speak, "Come back often."

David pretended to be relaxed, "come on, the anti-crime and anti-narcotics department is downstairs.

We can meet every day.Is it necessary to say goodbye to life and death? "

Susan raised her glass, "David, I wish you luck and greater success.

Robbery & Murder Division will always be your home, welcome back anytime. "

"I will."

"cheers!"
