Los Angeles Detective

"Nice job." Luke gave a thumbs up. "I only saw your beauty before, but now it looks like a rose with thorns."

"Has it affected my image in your mind?"

"I like roses."

Orti smiled, "Be careful of being stabbed, it will hurt."

"Thanks for reminding."

Orti asked, "Shall I help you track this guy down?"

"You think he's coming after me?"

"I can't believe you can't see."

"It's really a bit wrong, but a beauty like you should be approached often, it makes sense, doesn't it?"

"I do get accosted a lot, so I'm sure he's not." Orti picked up a cocktail and clinked glasses with Luke,

"you decide."

Luke is also a little tangled, being targeted, if he doesn't do anything, he will feel a little aggrieved.

If Orti is allowed to investigate this provocative white man, he may be involved even deeper.

Luke is not worried about his own safety. He has just been awarded the highest honor award, which is tantamount to being a hero. If someone dares to assassinate him in Washington at this time, it is tantamount to provoking the entire United States.

With this medal, Luke is equivalent to a buff.

If you want to deal with him, you must first peel off this layer of buff, just like the FBI arresting the civilian hero Chris Franco. Although the arrest time is extremely short and will not cause substantial harm to him, the impact is great.

Since he was arrested legally by the FBI, it means that he is indeed a fugitive.

Can fugitives still be called heroes?

Can represent the heroic image of American citizens?

Obviously not.

Chris Franco's golden body buff has been broken, and the halo has also been deprived. This kind of damage and impact is huge.

Assuming that Orti hadn't made a move today, Luke would be in an awkward situation. If the white man continued to provoke, the two of them would probably do it.

Then, there are three possible outcomes.

In the first result, the white drunk was beaten away, and the matter was left alone.

In the second result, the white drunk is beaten away, and it may be on the news the next day.

News headlines Luke thinks it all, public safety officer bravery medalist Luke Lee beats up drunk at bar.

In the news content, the media will definitely be embellished. For example, Luke had a dispute and a fight with a drunk man in a bar because of a woman.

Once he got involved with this kind of shit, Luke couldn't argue with it, and the honor he just won would be greatly reduced.

In the third result, the white drunk man called the police after being beaten, and Luke and others were arrested and questioned at the police station.

That would be a lot of fun, Luke is likely to break the buff of the golden body directly like Chris Franco.

This trip to Washington is not only fruitless, but may become the laughing stock of others.

In other words, what may seem like a small thing can have serious consequences in this particular case.

Once he is labeled as not doing enough, but not doing enough, and unable to support him, Luke's future will also be affected.

No Bole would be willing to cultivate a dark horse in an unstable state.

From this perspective, Orti helped him resolve a potential crisis.

Orti asked, "Have you figured it out yet?"

Luke said, "I'll see you off first, and call later."

"OK."

Luke sent Orti to the door of the hotel, watched her get in the car and left, and returned to his hotel room.

Although Luke analyzed many possibilities just now, they were just appearances, and there must be deeper reasons for this.

The first possibility is that in the game of Z rule, some people want to slap the king in the face.

For a country with an electoral system, this kind of behavior will affect citizens' trust and support for the king.

The second possibility, Luke thought of Laura, why did this woman approach him?

Luke didn't like her, and she ran to Fatau Brandi again.

And Fatau Brandy is from the Las Vegas Fire Department.

Did she and Fatau Brandi know each other? Is there a shadow of the Las Vegas police behind this?

You know, the Las Vegas police are the ones who don't want to see Luke accept the award the most. They have a motive to trip Luke.

The third possibility is spy.

Knowing that Wang's ruling style is a bit willful, it is inevitable that he will make enemies abroad, and it is not ruled out that someone abroad wants to slap him in the face.

The fourth possibility is accident.

The appearance of the drunk was an accident, and Luke thought too much. Just like Linda said, he put the set in his work in his life, and there were problems with everything.

In the above four situations, Luke actually hopes to be the fourth possibility, because the first three possibilities are beyond his ability.

But from Luke's experience, the fourth possibility is the least likely.

Luke cleared his mind and dialed Rhett's cell phone.

Luke accepted the award this time on behalf of lapd, and now that something happened, he naturally went to the organization.

He was never alone, nor was he in the habit of fighting alone.

Rhett's teasing voice sounded from the phone, "Hey, big hero, how do you feel?"

"It was fine at first, but now I feel a little homesick."

"Why do you feel homesick so quickly? Isn't that what young people should say?"

"Director, have you seen the news that Chris Franco was arrested?"

"Yes, it is a bit of a joke, but it will not affect your honor. Any questions?"

"Since stepping on the plane to Washington, I've felt something... not right."

"Tell me."

Luke talked about what happened in the past few days and his worries.

After a moment of silence, Reid said, "Take a rest first, and wait for my call."

"OK."

Half an hour later, Reid called again, "Luke, do you have any plans for yourself?"

"I originally wanted to spend about 4 days in Washington with my family, but I'm not in the mood to play now, and I want to return to Los Angeles as soon as possible."

"I'm not in Washington and I don't know the specifics, it's up to you to decide.

However, our lapd does not cause trouble, and we are also not afraid of trouble.

I will give you a contact person, if you encounter something, you can go to him. "

"who?"

"Drizzt Segal, he's an FBI agent, and he happens to be in Washington right now."

Luke reminded, "Chris Franco was captured by the FBI."

"I know.

But the FBI is a national institution with many departments and many things in charge, and there will be different voices and ideas. "

"Can I trust him?"

"He has worked in the Los Angeles Police Department for at least ten years, and we have been partners for a while, so we are considered our own."

"What is his main job in the FBI?"

"Catch the spy."

"I see.

Good night, Chief. ’ Luke laughed.

It doesn't matter what the purpose of this group is, as long as he provokes Luke again, he will be treated as a spy.

Luke just received the award in Washington. As long as he doesn't leave Washington, he will have the aura of a hero. If someone dares to target a 'national hero', what is it if he is not a spy?

...

Lapd's influence exceeded Luke's estimate.

However, as the second largest police department in the United States, it is normal to have a relationship with the FBI.

Luke felt a lot more at ease, and instead of leaving Washington immediately the next day, he made a compromise and shortened the original 4-day play plan to two days.

Get things done before you go back.

Early the next morning, Luke and his family went to the Natural History Museum.

Luke is still looking forward to this museum.

There are a lot of people visiting the Museum of Natural History, most of whom are parents with their children. Luke and others went to the scene to line up half an hour in advance.

At ten o'clock in the morning, the museum didn't open, and Luke's family entered the museum with the crowd.

Entering the lobby on the first floor, we saw a huge African wild elephant specimen.

The second floor is the mine and gem exhibition hall, and it is said that the blue diamond "Hope Star" weighing 45 grams was also exhibited.

Each exhibition hall has its special place, which restores an extremely realistic natural biological chain, so that visitors can learn something while visiting.

Near noon, Luke and others finished visiting the Museum of Natural History. Let alone minors like the little fat man, Luke himself felt that he had benefited a lot.

After lunch, the family went to the Library of Congress.

However, Luke himself did not go, but made an appointment with Orti.

...

K Street.

The street is located between Capitol Hill and White G, from west to east, across the northern part of Washington. It is a famous "speaking street" in the United States.

There are a large number of think tanks, lobbying groups, public relations companies, non-governmental organizations, and international headquarters gathered here. The World Bank and the International Monetary Fund are also located here.

If New York's "Wall Street" is the international financial center, then Washington's "K Street" can be described as the ever-changing international political center.

Luke and Orti were strolling on the streets of Washington, the weather had turned cold. Orti was wearing a khaki windbreaker and gray stockings, with a graceful figure and a high rate of turning heads.

The two were not walking fast, and Luke was walking while observing the square gray buildings on both sides.

After leaving this time, there is a high probability that he will not come to Washington for a short time.

Luke is well-known in Los Angeles and has a little real power. He can be regarded as a local snake, an existence that no one wants to provoke as long as he doesn't die.

But in Washington, he is a small fish. If he makes a wave, even if he is only swept by the remaining waves, he may be overturned.

Just like the Mexican civilians who were awarded the award together, the forces behind it were obviously aimed at Dong Wang, and Wang Wang might also be a little unhappy because of this incident, but that was all, and this Mexican civilian was shot to death on the beach.

Although he was in good health, he had already died, which was miserable.

Ortie stopped and pointed to an eight-story gray building in front of him, "The headquarters of the Pinkerton Detective Agency is here."

"The whole building?"

"No, only the eighth and seventh floors. If you knew the rental prices here, you wouldn't be asking."

Ortie took Luke directly to the eighth floor of the elevator.

After getting off the elevator, there were two men in suits standing at the door. Orti showed a pass, and the two were allowed to enter the corridor.

There are about ten offices in a building, and most of the offices have glass doors. Luke can see the environment in the office through the glass, and it feels no different from ordinary companies.

This surprised Luke a little.

Before, Luke had been wondering what the headquarters of the famous Pinkerton Detective Agency would look like?

Luke thought about all kinds of possibilities, such as underground buildings, hidden alleys, etc., but he didn't expect such a situation. If he didn't know, he would think he came to a law firm.

Under the leadership of Orti, Luke entered the office on the easternmost side. As soon as he entered the door, there was a large office area, which was divided into many independent small offices. Some independent offices were separated by glass, and the windows were blocked by blinds. Sex isn't great.

Walking along the passage, the easternmost side is an office with a solid wall and a wooden door. You can't see the situation inside at all, and it is also the office with the best privacy.

Luke glanced, there was no sign on the door of this office.

Next to the office is a work desk, behind which sits a Caucasian woman in her forties.

"Good afternoon, Ms. Mena, I'm here to see the president."

"Hello, Miss Dean."

Ms. Mena glanced at Luke, nodded, and then walked to the office and knocked on the door, "Boom..."

"Please come in."

Ms. Mena opened the door and said, "President, Miss Dean is here."

"Please come in for me." A man's voice came from inside the room.

Ms. Menor stepped aside and gestured please.

Ortie led Luke into the office.

A slightly bald white man in his fifties stood up to greet him, "Long time no see for Ortie.

Nice to meet you, Mr. Li. "

"Me too, President Bailey."

The man in front of him is Kundula Bailey, the president of the North American Office of Pinkerton Detective Agency.

"Please sit down, both of you." Kundula Bailey motioned for the two to sit on the sofa.

Ms. Mena came in with a tray, put three cups of black tea on the coffee table, closed the door and went out.

Kundula Bailey said, "Mr Lee, I've wanted to see you since the last Las Vegas shooting.

I know you will become a hero, and this turbulent world needs heroes like you. "

Luke said, "I do have the ability to be a hero, and I have done some heroic things.

But people's definition of a hero is more of a moral and spiritual level, and I don't like this artificial definition. "

Kundula Bailey nodded, "I can understand what you mean, this is a bit like the American election, every candidate seems to be full of justice, full of endless enthusiasm and selfless dedication to this country.

But who can stand the investigation behind the scenes?

Everyone has two sides, so don't put too much pressure on yourself. Showing people what they want to see is enough.

You are their hero, not your hope, but their hope that having such a hero will make them feel safer. "

"Hearing what you said, I'm much calmer." In fact, Luke also had a worry in his heart when accepting the award. Once he was defined as a "hero", he would receive more attention and some behaviors would be magnified.

Thinking about it now, which of the previous great commanders had no black material, and they all went to high positions in the same way. In comparison, Luke's words, deeds, and deeds are much safer than theirs.

"Mr. Li, after you were hired as a consultant, you have cooperated with the firm several times and helped the firm complete several commissions.

Your ability is outstanding, and the firm hopes to deepen cooperation with you. "

"Which aspect?"

"For example, we can set up a detective team for you alone.

How would you like to have the right delegation go directly to your team, where you lead and assign tasks? "

Ortie hadn't mentioned this beforehand, and Luke turned to look at Ortie and found that she was also a little surprised.

Luke thought for a while, "President Bailey, thank you for your trust, and your proposal is very touching.

But I'm happy with the way I live and work now, and so is working with the Pinkerton Detective Agency.

I get along very well with Ortie. If the detective agency needs me, she can let her contact me.

I will do my best. "

There are two main considerations in Luke's refusal of Kundula Bailey's proposal.

On the one hand, Luke is quite satisfied with the current state. His focus of work is still on the police station. If he agrees to the proposal of forming a team, he will definitely focus more on detective work.

He is not short of money now, so there is no need to make himself so tired.

On the other hand, detective work will inevitably overlap with the case, and the conversation at this time will feel a little strange. Even when talking with Orti, who is more familiar, Luke will use the detection card.

If he leads another team of detectives, the number of detection cards used will increase greatly, which is not worth the candle.

Taking everything into consideration, Luke still felt that it would be better to have a contact with the detective agency, and Orti could be a good fit for this role.

"Okay, I respect your decision." Kundula Bailey didn't force it, and changed the topic.

The two sides chatted for a while, and after half an hour Luke said goodbye and left.

It was past three in the afternoon, and Luke and Ortie were strolling the streets of Washington.

Orti turned to look at Luke, "Thank you."

Luke rejected Kundula Bailey's proposal out of self-interest, but he did help Orti indirectly. Once Luke established his own detective team, the role of Orti as a contact would be greatly weakened.

"Thank you can't just say it with your mouth, it's too insincere."

Orti thought for a while, "There's a nice coffee shop in front, I'll treat you to afternoon tea."

"Sounds good. It's the first time a woman invites me to afternoon tea."

"Then go, maybe you will like this feeling, it's much cheaper than opening a room in a hotel."

“I still prefer hotel pools.”

Ortie "..."

The two entered the coffee shop and found a seat by the window to sit down. Orti ordered two cups of coffee and two desserts.

The hand-ground coffee and desserts were exquisite. The two chatted while drinking afternoon tea, and Luke enjoyed the leisurely feeling.

There are two TVs hanging on the bar where the coffee is ordered, one TV is playing movies, and the other TV is playing news.

"Hello viewers, I'm CBG TV reporter Fleet Mattos, and I'm reporting a piece of news.

In the early hours of this morning, the Washington police received a report that there was an illegal sex trade in the Marriott Hotel. During the raid, the police arrested five prostitutes and six clients. One of the clients was Fatau Brandi, who was suspected to have Firefighters awarded Public Safety Officers Medal for Valor..."

Luke slapped his forehead and sighed, "fuck, what an idiot."

Let me tell you in advance, if I don't update, and I don't issue a bill to ask for leave, then I will be reviewed.

Don't worry everyone, it will be released after modification.

Small problems will be released on the day.

Big problem day two.

There will be no big problems, after all, we are also veteran authors.

stable.
