A retired reincarnation of a certain American film.

Chapter 136: The sentry who came to ask for a case (fifth update, please order the full version!!)

"Sentinel Secret Service?"

"Yes."

"..."

Luke couldn't help but frowned when he heard Earl's voice on the phone.

Shet.

Did the slap come so fast?
One second he was thinking that the years would be quiet and it would be a good time to enjoy retirement life, but the next second the Sentinel Secret Service came to his door?

Luke's thoughts were spinning.

"What are the Sentinels doing here?"

"They want jurisdiction over one case."

"...Which case?"

"A serial case of bank vault thefts."

"..."

Luke breathed a sigh of relief.

He thought the Sentinel Secret Service was here for the bombing in Mill Community.

However, it is impossible to think about it.

After all, the Mill Community bombing case has been closed, and the White House and the Department of Justice also know that if the Sentinel wants to investigate the Mill Community bombing case, it will not be a slap in the face of the FBI, or even a slap in the face of the Department of Justice and the Department of Justice. The face of the White House.

"Bank vault robbery case?"

"Correct."

"What kind of case is this?"

Luke got up from the recliner, walked to the flower pot that Rachel planted in the backyard, and asked Earl curiously.

After all, although he has been appointed as the Assistant Director of Operations, he does not know all the cases left over from history.

Earl informed Luke on the phone about this serial case of bank vault thefts.

Simply put.

What this case is about is that in the past two years, the vaults of seven banks were suspected to have been stolen by the same suspect or the same theft gang.

The reason why I say it is suspected is because these seven banks almost always found out about the theft when they went to work the next day.

Because at the scene, there were no signs of the vault being broken open from the outside. At the same time, the bank's internal system showed no signs of opening the vault's code lock. In fact, no clues were found by accessing the bank's monitoring and the vault's monitoring.

Because of the monitoring of the vault, during the time of the crime, there seemed to be some kind of electromagnetic wave interference, which caused the screen to appear blurred.

After the surveillance was restored, their vault was already in a mess.

Moreover, no fingerprints or footprints of the suspected vault thief were collected at the scene.

"From two years to seven."

"There are no traces of external attacks, and there are no issues with bank monitoring."

"There was a burglary inside the vault and then the thief disappeared."

Luke listened to Earl's science talk on the phone and raised his eyebrows: "No matter how you look at it, it looks like it was done by mutants with special abilities. Wasn't this case handed over to the Sentinel Secret Service before?"

Listening to Earl's popular science, he also instantly thought of the suspects. To a large extent, they might be mutants who have all kinds of incredible abilities after awakening the X gene.

Earl said: "I just inquired with the administrative detective. It is said that the former director's safe was in the California vault that was stolen three months ago, so the former director suppressed the case and asked Bill Kings to After finishing the truck robbery case, we need to solve the case as soon as possible, so..."

Luke understood.

but……

"Give it to them."

Luke smiled and said: "Since the Sentinel Secret Service wants this case, and this case is also suspected to be done by mutants, then transfer the case to them."

Anyway, this case didn't happen during his tenure, so if it can't be solved, that's because his predecessor was incompetent and had nothing to do with him.

Luke, who once served as the federal director of a state in one of Lord God's mission worlds, knows very well how to blame others in federal law enforcement agencies.

Passing the case to the Sentinel Secret Service was the wisest choice.

Although this case occurred during his predecessor's term, there is no guarantee that the vault thief will do it again. When the time comes, Luke can take advantage of the situation and say that this case is not a problem of the FBI, but a problem of the Sentinel Secret Service.

This is why, whether it is a movie or an American TV series, whenever there is an arrest scene, almost only a single law enforcement agency appears. It is rare for multiple law enforcement agencies to appear together openly and arrest the same target. .

The national conditions are different.

When Dongguo solves a case, it emphasizes the coordination of multiple departments, regardless of other matters, to catch the suspect first, and then talk about other things.

In the federation, the emphasis is on getting rid of one's own responsibilities before a case occurs.

Luke was just doing as the Romans did.

"Okay, Chief."

Earl nodded on the phone.

"Then where are you now? I'll bring the file there. Your signature is required to transfer the file."

"I'm at home, just come over here."

"Ok."

After half an hour.

The sound of the engines of two cars was heard outside the door.

Luke opened the door.

I saw Earl getting out of a car in front, and three men in suits headed by a bald man getting out of a black Ford SUV behind.

"Director." "This is Senior Sentinel Jason Turner of the Sentinel Secret Service."

"Hello."

"Chief Dane."

Bald sentry Jason Turner shook hands with Luke: "Thank you, Director Dane."

Luke smiled and looked at Jason Turner, who seemed a little tired with his eyebrows. While receiving the file transfer confirmation letter from Earl, he said: "Mr. Turner just flew to Los Angeles from Atlanta. All?"

The Sentinel Secret Service has no branch office or offices in Los Santos.

To be precise.

The Sentinel Secret Service does not have any branches other than its headquarters in Atlanta.

Their case-handling model is similar to that of state bureaus of investigation.

Such as the California Bureau of Investigation.

The California Bureau of Investigation also has only one headquarters in Sacramento. If a major case occurs somewhere in California and requires the California Bureau of Investigation to investigate, they will flash directly from Sacramento to the place where the case occurred, and then borrow the offices of the local police station to work.

Sentinel's Secret Service mode is similar to this.

Once a mutant is discovered somewhere in the federation, they, the Sentinel agents, will set out from Atlanta and take over the case from the local police department or other law enforcement agencies.

Jason Turner nodded and said, "Yeah, I just finished handling an arson mutant case in New Jersey, and then flew here without stopping."

Hearing this, Luke looked up and looked at Jason Turner: "This case didn't happen just now. Why are you only noticing it now?"

Jason Turner smiled, then looked around and whispered: "To be honest, a bank vault in Atlanta was stolen a few days ago. There was a safe belonging to our supervisor inside. Then the supervisor checked it and found out No, I flew here directly from New Jersey."

Luke raised an eyebrow.

"It seems that the safe contains your supervisor's secrets."

"I think so."

"Ok."

Luke smiled and shook his head, and handed the signed confirmation letter to Jason Turner in front of him: "From now on, this case belongs to you."

He's not interested in solving crimes.

Joining the FBI, at first, was just to solve his identity problem.

Jason Turner took the confirmation letter and said thank you to Luke again.

Lu Ke fully showed his kindness as a landlord: "Is there an office space? Do you need me to find an office space for you in the federal building?"

Jason Turner handed the confirmation letter to his subordinate behind him and declined Luke's kindness: "Thank you, but we have already booked a hotel when we came here."

Luke didn't care and shook hands with Jason Turner again: "Okay, then I wish you will solve the case as soon as possible."

Jason Turner said thank you, and then, he did not stay long. He took the two subordinates behind him to get back into the car with a rather vigorous movement, and then left here in a hurry.

Luke looked at the vehicle that disappeared from sight, withdrew his gaze, and invited Earl: "Come in and sit for a while?"

Earl shook his head and looked at Luke strangely.

Lu Ke raised his eyebrows, as if he had thought of something. He laughed and dropped the topic: "You can help take care of the affairs in the bureau these days. In two days, I will be able to handle the matter and return to the bureau." It’s time to go to work.”

He and Rachel are going to have a banquet tonight for State Representative Dodge and his wife, as well as Director Penning and his wife who are here to hang out.

Then I will accompany Lorna to report to the new school tomorrow.

The next two days happened to be weekends again. He now had a huge sum of 600 million. He planned to use the weekend to find a venue and buy back the production materials. Once the raw materials arrived, he could still find himself in New York City. Karl, his daughter, was called over to help him prepare a potion that could restart the gene lock.

Gene lock restarts.

This is a big deal!

afternoon.

Rachel got off work early and took Lorna back home.

The stair guardrail has been repaired.

Rachel walked over there, checked it out, looked at the area that was almost the same color as the adjacent guardrail, and nodded: "The repair was quite professional."

Luke, who was admiring Lorna's hair that had been dyed black again, looked at Rachel walking over and smiled: "She is a professional."

Those two maintenance workers relied on their skills to immigrate here seriously.

These people are not comparable to those incompetent Run people.

Rachel looked at the time on her watch: "Let's go to the restaurant first. Bates just called and she and Dodge have already set off."

Luke nodded.

night time.

In a private room of Forest Words Restaurant in Runyon Canyon Park.

Luke, Rachel, and Lorna hosted a banquet for the state legislators, Mr. and Mrs. Dodge, and his wife, Mr. and Mrs. Penning, and thanked them for all their help in the Mill Community bombing.

At the dinner table, Luke, Dodge, and Penning frequently toasted and exchanged glasses.

Rachel is responsible for taking care of Bates, Mrs. Dodge, and Penning's wife Michelle.

The atmosphere at the wine table was great.

The relationship between the three families seems to have been further sublimated through cups of wine.

In short, it’s just one sentence.

Social success.
