LA Detective

Chapter 313 Trust
The next morning.

In 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 took a shower 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 the 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 and the environment is good. With delicious food in his mouth, he will feel happy all day.

Luke first ate a chicken roll to pad his stomach, and then started the lottery draw.

lottery!

Stop the pointer, shield the card [can shield the communication signal within 10 meters around within 20 minutes (can be interrupted at any time)]

Luke drew fifty times and hit six cards in total.

They are, 5 new cards and shielded cards.

1 old card, probe card.

A prize of $6.4 was also awarded.

This time, two cards were drawn, one new and one old.

The new card shielding card, the effect is somewhat similar to the 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 you can't find it when you use 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 escort 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 arrest operations.

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 equipment within ten meters around, such as monitoring, monitoring, recording, tracking and other functional equipment. 】

This is an old card, and 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 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 interests.

It may not matter once or twice, but if there are too many times, it is inevitable that people 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 the publicity of his conversation with Orti will also affect his future.

Every time he talked with Orti, he would choose to go to swimming pools, hot springs, etc. where there is water. It may be fine for a short 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 someone higher 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, it will not hurt the peace, and it can prevent problems before they happen.

The lack of use in the past can only show 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 closing the North Hollywood bank robbery case.

Although Muriel Baldini was the mastermind behind this case, 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 her company. Once convicted, she also faces serious criminal charges.

"Dong dong."

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 become a regular?"

"No, but it's coming soon."

"What good news that is."

"The Directorate General was notified by the White House that in view of your heroic performance in the Las Vegas shooting incident, the Grand Command decided to award you the 'Public Safety Officers' Medal of Valor'. 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 one in our entire police department. Have fun."

"So, I have won honor for the Bureau?"

"of course."

"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 there are difficulties, the bureau will help you solve them. "

"Before I go, I want to rest for two days and 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, and it's considered a tourist. I will send you the specific awarding time and arrangement."

"Thank you sir, you are so considerate."

"However, I want to warn you. Washington is not Los Angeles. Don't act impulsively."

"I remember."

"Very good, I'm leaving." Reid went out of the captain's office and said to the team members in the office area,
"Guys, I have some 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, "Captain, what shall we eat tonight? Hot pot?"

Luke was speechless, stinky and 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? You are getting married too?"

Luke said, "I'm single."

Xiao Hei thinks these words are familiar, why is it so similar to me back then?Smelly and shameless.

The deputy team guessed, "Have you become 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 full-time employee." Luke laughed,
"How about this, I'll give you one day, if you can guess it, I'll treat you, if you can't, I'll treat you 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, and 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 nothing to say, you have to treat. And it's a big meal. Getting this medal is more worthy of celebration than your becoming a regular."

Little underworld, "Hot pot."

Jackson, "Mexican food is good too."

Jenny said, "Actually, I would rather eat French food."

Luke "..."

Fa, your sister, Fa, you are 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 was 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 give us a toast to Captain Luke."

"Captain, congratulations on receiving the Medal of Valor for Public Security Officers." Everyone raised their glasses to congratulate.

"Thank you." Luke also took a sip from his glass.

The deputy team laughed, "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 have a feeling 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 getting 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 70 years old. Besides, I didn't get it. 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 a credit for you here.

Thank you. "

……

After eight o'clock in the evening, everyone left.

Xiao Hei suggested going to the bar for the second scene.

But Luke didn't go, and Ortie texted him to ask to meet.

At around nine o'clock, when Luke returned home, he saw a white car parked at the door, and Ortie sat on a stool in the yard waiting for him.

Luke still had a good impression of Ortie, the virgin girl who gave money.

"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 and took a sip.
"Good wine.

Ortie, 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, and the other party is more disciplined, and he has gained a lot of benefits from the cooperation with Pinkerton Detective Agency a few 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 would definitely feel a little 'wronged' in his heart, and it might be an insult to switch to someone with strong self-esteem, and even secretly hate Luke.

Through the contact with Orti these few times, 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 the 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."

Ortie 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 touched, I am now someone you trust?"

"Of course." Luke responded and directly used a detection card.

He now has 5 probe cards, it is better to use them than to leave them idle.

After the card was used, it showed that there was nothing abnormal, and Luke could talk with confidence.

"Thank you for your trust. This may be my biggest gain today." Orti said sincerely.

"So, are you going to stay overnight?"

"Another day." Orti smiled, and changed the subject, "Luke, it's time for us to talk about business."

"All ears."

Ortie pulled a brand new check from his bag. "It's yours."

Luke glanced at the amount, "$15, which exceeded my expectations."

Orti said, "After the North Hollywood bank was robbed, the insurance company suspected that there was a problem 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 fifty thousand dollars is the consulting fee paid to you by the detective agency, but it will be paid in the name of labor subsidies.

As for the other $[-], it is an extra reward from the Detective Agency after you receive the Medal of Valor of the Public Safety Officer. "

"So generous, what else do I need to do?"

"You are an advisor to the Pinkerton Detective Agency, the more famous you are, the more helpful you will be to the Detective Agency.

In theory it doesn't require you to do anything.

However, the headquarters of the Pinkerton firm is in Washington, and 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."

"If you think about it, call me. I will be a good guide. Moreover, you have just won the highest award given to public security officials by the country. It is a glorious addition. 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.

Ortie took a sip of champagne and asked curiously, "Luke, did you get the Public Safety Officer Medal for Valor for 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 am very curious, super curious..."

Luke said, "In fact, the process is not complicated. Many people were frightened by the death toll. The shooter was 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.

To be honest, I had a lot of luck in getting this Public Safety Officer Medal for Valor..."

The two chatted for half an hour, and the bottle of champagne was exhausted 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 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.

Harmfulness is not allowed, and defensiveness is indispensable.

This is especially true for women, especially beautiful women.
