Super Detective in the Fictional World

Chapter 55: 055: Moving a New Home, The First Homicide

They thanked Millie before leaving the station together.

The police will give them three days to finish up all the chores and then they will be officially at work.

Because the Serious Crimes Unit is so busy, once it's officially working, it can be a hassle to deal with trivial matters, which is why they are given such a relaxing time.

Without delay, they drove around seven or eight candidate locations one afternoon, and finally chose two apartments not far from the West End Police Department.

The biggest benefit here is the cleanliness, there is no huge traffic and crowd around, and a small street is also on the back of the apartment and it looks very quiet.

The apartment is slightly old, but fairly tidy, with two small bedrooms that look like 10 square meters. The living room is also not large, around 20 square meters, which, taken together, is just over 50 square meters.

However, the price is not very high and it is cheap for two people to rent together.

The lease contract was signed, and even if they officially stayed here, Luke and the others moved out of the car.

The trunk and back seat are full, most of them Selena's.

Luke's a little confused. Homicide's probably gonna have to wear official clothes every day. What's Selena doing with all these clothes and shoes?

Selena can only turn a blind eye to this stupid question: "Come on, we're on the homicide squad, and most of the time, we don't have to wear police uniforms to handle cases, okay? Then why can't I wear something prettier? I'm not wearing hot pants to work. ”

Luke was right.

He brought himself a few simple sets of laundry changes, adding up to a suitcase.

Selena was five, and she was said to have shrunk so easily that there were eight boxes at the earliest, most of them presumably her pretty clothes.

After moving, Luke and the others were not in the mood to go out and call for takeout.

After a quick meal, the two of them took a short break before going out to the supermarket again.

There were only a few basic appliances in the apartment, and the small pieces had to be bought themselves.

Luke doesn't need much, but Selena needs more.

While shopping, Selena looked painfully at the price tags on the goods: "I lost my salary for a week. ”

Luke can only ha-ha.

He can't say he's paying for it, can he?

If he says so, Selena will definitely think he wants to hook her up, or is he officially dating.

Otherwise, why are you paying for groceries?

See, even ladies' creative stickers are in the shopping cart. How many men, besides boyfriends and husbands, buy these for women?

When they returned, they did not continue to pack, but simply took their belongings back to their rooms and washed them and went to bed.

The next morning, the two of them went to work on time.

By the time we got to the bureau, several detectives were already in the Hall of Serious Crimes. They arrived early and stayed up all night.

When two people were seen coming in, only two nodded their greetings.

It's half an hour from work, and Beric's here.

He was satisfied to see the two of them arrive early and full of spirit.

In small opinions, these two are not at least that kind of stand-alone pricks, which is more obvious to the more competent people.

Like a few of the old gas bars in his group, it was simply too lazy to follow the other little rules except for the police's bottom line.

Of course, this is also relevant to the work of the task force, which is often busy for days and nights without rest, and which does not come and go as promptly as the regular police do.

He waved to the two men and called them to the office.

He didn't give a shit when he went in. He was busier than any of his men. He searched the table for a moment and threw a file at Luke. “This case belongs to you. If you make any progress, report it to me. If there is anything you can't solve, come back to me. Is there a problem?”

Selena wanted to see the file, but Luke just smiled and said, "Yes, sir. ”

Beric waved, “Since I work for you, call me boss, like everyone else. Get busy! ”

Luke answered. Yes, he went out, and Selena did the same thing. She followed him out with a shout.

Bellick said: Surely, the younger one is the head, and the older one is actually the auxiliary.

But it's also normal.

In contrast, men among partners are better suited for dominance and women are better suited for support. After all, women have many congenital advantages and disadvantages. They are cheaper at communicating with each other, and lack close combat and deterrence.

Hmm... but the kid seems too young to scare people, right? Berik suddenly came up with a problem, but then gave up thinking.

He's the team leader, not the babysitter, and this kind of problem can only be solved by itself. He can't solve that.

Luke and I went back to our desk, opened the file, and Luke sat down, and Selena stood right next to him, doing it on the armrest, looking at it with her head crooked.

There was a homicide in the apartment building at 39 107a Street, West End, where the deceased was a woman.

The case was received yesterday, or when Luke and the others came to report it.

The Serious Crimes Unit has been strained in its manpower, and with two new employees, Berik doesn't bother anyone else to handle the case, and leaves it directly to the two of them.

Luke grabbed his shirt cover and covered his holster: "Come on, go check it out. ”

The autopsy report should not wait. The forensics department in such a large city is busy. One case is not rushed. It is normal to drag a month or two to produce results. It is not uncommon to report after six months or a year.

Isn't that what happened on TV?

I'm sorry, but in reality, less than 5 per cent of cases have been solved by the United States police on the basis of forensics.

Most of the time, it remains the police, and the forensics section only provides evidentiary support to cases.

Most cases can only be classified as old if the police cannot locate the suspect for some time.

Until one day, the perpetrator commits a new crime and returns to the previous case, such an old case will have a day to fall apart.

Luke and his men went to the garage and got into a police station car.

Members of the Serious Crimes Unit have this treatment, but Luke and his wife are not yet accepted by Berrik. They cannot blatantly divert the car for private use. It doesn't matter if they drive home occasionally, and they will complain about doing so every day.

It took them more than 40 minutes to get to 39 107a Street.

As they entered, they were both paying attention to the surrounding environment and, although not necessarily helpful to the circumstances of the case, police investigations were seabed needles, and in many cases an unintentional detail could be the key to solving the case.

This is an old-fashioned apartment building that has been built for at least 30 years, with barbed walls and old doors and windows indicating that this is not a place for rich people to live.
