Los Angeles Detective

  Chapter 174 Each has his own concerns

   Metzker Bar.

  The members of the First Squadron of the Robbery and Murder Division sat together.

  Luke got up and said, "Guys, I'm treating you tonight, and everyone is drinking."

  Xiao Hei smiled and said, "We just solved the holy blood case, and Luke was also promoted to the deputy team. Today is definitely a good day, shouldn't we celebrate with a bottle of good wine?"

  Luke said with a smile, "You are right, everyone has a chance to be promoted, and we can drink good wine often in the future."

  Xiao Hei didn't dare to answer the question anymore, he didn't want to be Detective Marcus all his life, let alone as rich as Luke.

   To boo again is to shoot yourself in the foot.

   "Good idea, I absolutely agree." The deputy team did not have the slightest psychological pressure.

  Susan suggested, "Everyone, let's toast Luke's deputy team."

   "cheers"

   "Thank you." Luke raised his glass.

  The deputy team said, "Luke, you deserve this. You are the best young man I have seen in recent years, even better than Reid."

   "Thank you for the vice team." Although Luke is also the vice team now.

   But Luke still uses the deputy team to call Vincent, which is also his respect for Vincent. There is no conflict of interest between the two of them.

  Luke is the youngest in the entire Robbery and Murder Division, and his qualifications are relatively junior.

   Regarding Luke's promotion, everyone has their own ideas in their hearts, but none of them are too obvious.

  One reason is that Luke is very popular. The second is that Luke's ability is there, and no one can ignore the repeated solving of strange cases.

   Simply put, it deserves its name.

  An outstanding young man like Luke will be targeted by other departments if they are not promoted in the squadron.

  David put down his glass, seemed to remember something, and asked concerned, "Marcus, are you still sleeping in the lounge?"

   "Yes, do you want me to borrow it?"

   "I started dreaming before I touched the bed." David smiled and asked, "You and Julian broke up?

   "Well, this question is a bit complicated. It's hard to explain in two sentences..." Xiao Hei couldn't speak.

   David held up two fingers, "Dude, don't forget this."

   Luke held out a finger too, "And mine."

  Xiao Hei pursed his lips, looking like he was about to cry, "I'm already in such a miserable situation, why do you have the nerve to make it worse."

   "One size fits all." Just as David was about to say something, his face changed slightly, and he pointed not far away and said, "Who do you think that is?"

   Julian.

  Xiao Hei was taken aback, "Why is she here?"

  Julian also seemed to have seen Xiao Hei, and came over with a small satchel on his back, "Marcus, can I talk to you?

  Marcus stood up, opened his mouth for a long time, and finally said only one word, "Of course."

  Under the curious eyes of everyone, Xiao Hei followed Julian out of the bar.

  David sighed, "Oh, poor Marcus."

  Jenny Heng said, "Is he pitiful? I think he deserved it."

  Luke nodded, "I also think Julian is not bad."

  The deputy team said, "You guys think it's useless, he feels it himself."

  Julian went out of the bar, and Xiao Hei followed him listlessly.

  Julian turned around and folded his hands on his chest, "Didn't you say you were working overtime? This is what you call overtime.

  You just make it clear that you don’t want to get married, why do you keep avoiding me? "

   "Julian, it's not that I don't want to, but I haven't thought it through. Can you..."

  Julian interrupted him, "You don't need to say any more, I understand.

  Listen, I don't want to embarrass you in front of my colleagues, so I haven't been to the police station to find you, I just came here today to make it clear. "

  Julian asked solemnly, "Marcus, do you want to marry me?"

  Xiao Hei was silent.

   Unable to answer.

  Julian shook his head, "Marcus, don't let me look down on you like a man."

  Xiao Hei sighed, "I don't want to get married yet."

  Julian pursed his lips and nodded, "OK, Marcus, congratulations, you are free now."

   "Julian, I just don't want to get married. I didn't say I want to break up with you. I really like you."

   "I know, but now I dumped you, understand?"

   "Why do you have to do this? Why do you have to rush to get married? Isn't it good for us?"

  Julian did not answer, and threw the key to Marcus, "Give it back to you, I will move out, you should change the password too."

   After Julian finished speaking, he left with his satchel on his back.

  Xiao Hei yelled a few words from behind, but after all, he didn't have the courage to catch up.

  At this moment, Xiao Hei felt empty in his heart. It's not that he hasn't broken up before, and he has broken up many times, but he has never been as reluctant as today.

   At the same time, he was also a little angry, why is Julian so heartless?

  …

   At this time, the atmosphere in the bar was also a little depressing.

  David suggested, "Luke, would you like to see Marcus?"

   Luke thought for a while, "Go out and see what you can say. If Julian is still there, it will only be more embarrassing."

  The deputy team said, "It's not a bad thing to teach him a lesson. Maybe he will understand what he really wants."

   At this moment, Captain Jones of the Anti-Crafts and Anti-Narcotics Department came over, "Hey, guys, I heard that you have caught the murderer of the Holy Blood case. Congratulations."

  Susan said, "The channel for Dalci to purchase drugs has not been found out yet, so I leave this matter to you."

   "No problem, it's my job. As far as I know, there are two gangs selling hallucinogenic drugs with similar ingredients. I will have a good communication with them."

  Jones raised his glass, "Luke, I heard that you have been promoted to the vice team, congratulations."

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

   After greeting everyone, Jones patted David on the shoulder, "Man, can you come out and have a chat?"

   "Of course." David followed Jones to the other corner of the bar.

  Jones cut to the chase, "Your old partner has been promoted to the vice team, how does it feel?"

   David said, "It's good, he deserves it. I'm happy for him."

   "What about you? Have you ever thought about your future?"

  David asked back, "What's wrong with me?"

   "You don't want to stay in the Robbery and Murder Division as an ordinary detective for the rest of your life, do you? Just like Deputy Captain Vincent, he was already a deputy when I entered the police department."

  David said, "I won't, I believe in my ability."

  Jones continued, "A squadron only has two vice squad places, one for Vincent and one for Luke. Where do you go to get promoted?"

  David said, "Jones, I know the situation of our squadron better than you, and I still have a chance."

  The deputy team is getting old, maybe when they will retire,

  Luke is capable and valued by leaders, so it will be a matter of time before he gets promoted.

  David and Raymond both have the possibility of being promoted, but they have to wait for a while.

"Dude, some things can't just wait, you have to fight for it yourself. Even if the vice team spot is vacant, are you sure you will be able to take the position? I have seen too many similar things. Once you pass a certain age group, you will rise up. There will be fewer and fewer opportunities.”

   "Captain Jones, what exactly are you trying to tell me today?"

  Jones glanced around and said in a low voice, "Some time ago, the deputy team of our squadron was transferred, and the bureau wanted me to recommend a candidate for the deputy team. I think you are pretty good."

  David seemed to be a little surprised when he heard it for the first time, "You want me to be the vice team of the Anti-crime and Anti-drug Division?"

  " That's right, I think your way of handling cases is in line with the style of our squadron. It's time to change yourself. We have known each other for so many years, and I know your ability.

  As long as you come, the vice team is yours. "

  David thought for a while, "Thank you for your consideration.

   But this came out of the blue to me, and I need to… seriously think about it. "

   "Of course, think about it carefully, but it's best to hurry up, the opportunity waits for no one, let me know when you think about it." Captain Jones made a phone call gesture, and then left.

  David sat at the bar and did not leave immediately, drinking with his head down, not knowing what he was thinking.

  …

   Luke was a little bored sitting on the sofa, and took a sip from his wine glass.

  Xiao Hei was called away by Julian, David was called away by Jones, and Susan left beforehand.

   Only Luke, Raymond, Jenny and the deputy team are left.

   Raymond is a boring gourd.

  Luke couldn't chat with the deputy team and Jenny, and it was very boring. Luke wanted to leave.

  Red came over with a glass of wine, "Hey guys, where's everyone else?"

  The deputy team said, "Don't worry about them, you are the most important one."

   The two clinked glasses and took a sip of wine.

  Rett chatted with the deputy team for a few words, and then said to Luke on the side, "We will organize a sea fishing in two days, do you want to go together?"

   "OK, I want to relax these two days."

   "Good, don't forget to prepare your own fishing tackle."

   "Thanks for the reminder, I will prepare."

  Rett changed the subject, "Have you learned how to drive a yacht?

  Luke "…"

  In the end, Xiao Hei and David didn't come back, and the party lost its atmosphere, and everyone left early.

  Luke stood at the entrance of the bar and lit a cigarette. He learned the lesson this time, instead of parking the car at the entrance of the bar, he chose to park it in the parking lot opposite.

   If there is another accident, it is the responsibility of the parking lot.

  He wanted to call Xiao Hei, but he didn't know what to say.

   Forget it, I'm not a relationship expert, so I can't help him.

  Luke puts out his cigarette and prepares to walk to the parking lot across the street to pick up his car.

   Not far away, an old man walked over staggeringly, looking like he was about to fall.

  The old man looked about 60 years old, his hair was a little gray, and he wore decent clothes. He was drunk, as if he had drunk a lot of wine.

"boom!"

  The old man stepped on the curb, tilted his body, fell down, and lay on the ground as if unable to get up.

   At this point, Luke is facing a problem, should he help him?

   This is not an easy question, he needs time to think.

   Just when he was hesitating, a white woman in her twenties walked over to help the old man, "Sir, are you injured?"

   "I twisted my foot and fell down accidentally." The old white man stood up with difficulty.

   "Do you need me to take you to the hospital?"

   "No, you are a kind girl, thank you." The old man showed a grateful look.

  The white woman helped the old man to rest aside.

   Seeing that the matter was resolved, Luke no longer struggled, and walked past calmly.

  The old white man looked at Luke's back and muttered, "What a sympathetic guy."

   Writing the second chapter...
