Super Detective in the Fictional World

Chapter 100: 118: New Partners, New Cases, New Stars

Luke went from 42 grand a year in Houston to 54 grand now.

Selena rose from 47,000 to early 60,000, but this salary increase was not enough to offset the increase in living expenses.

Of course, if two people worked for a few years, they would receive an annual salary of more than 80,000, which would make them more generous.

Until then, however, they may have had to rely on the $50,000 settling fee.

Selena was so frustrated because she left all her settling expenses at home.

Luke has no problem with that.

Selena seemed autonomous and independent, but she still cared about her family, and most Americans were different about money, and she was willing to pay for her family, which was her freedom.

Luke wasn't surprised. He was Chinese in the last life. It's not surprising that parents and children on the other side helped each other out a lot.

His $50,000 knife told Catherine, she didn't want it.

Robert picked up the phone and told him to fuck off and take the flowers himself if he had the money.

After all, Robert also has a salary of over 50,000 a year, plus Catherine's salary of over 30,000, and Luke comes out to work, reducing their spending on at least a few thousand knives a year, and the pressure is not great.

Before Luke went to college, Robert saved over 20,000 knives to pay for college tuition, and now of course he's leaving it to Claire, who's a sophomore.

So now Robert and Catherine are not short of money.

After a good rest for half a day, the next day the two men went to the West End Police Station to officially work.

Faced with the two, Major Crimes Chief Dustin-Hammer's uncomfortable attitude relieved both of them.

As long as it's not the kind of disgusting guy that Beric is.

At last, they were not partners anymore, but were each assigned to another old detective.

And that's what makes sense.

After what happened to Berik, Luke found himself thinking a little bit wrong.

That is, even though the two partners were able to take ownership of the case, it would cause the team leader's dissatisfaction.

In Houston, he hasn't solved a lot of cases in over a month, except for those three big cases, which are actually a little low.

So he talked to Selena.

Each of them, together with an old detective, accelerated his familiarity with the environment. After a while, he applied for the two men to be transferred back together.

At that time, the two of them would be familiar with the environment, they would have their own sources, and they would no longer be afraid to set up pits where they had no experience and no connections, as did the new team leader and Beric.

While such mobility may not be easy, Luke can find a way.

Selena split up with a black detective named Donald Duck and Luke with a middle-aged Latino female partner named Elsa Torres.

LAPD is the most female police station in the country, about 20 percent of them.

Secondly, there are more than 30% of Latino police officers here.

The arrival of Selena undoubtedly added a little bit to these two figures, and it's no surprise that Luke partnered with a Latino woman.

Look at Luke, Elsa's a little curious: "Come on, I've got two more cases. Are you all right? Do you want me to give you a vacation? ”

Luke smiled, “Oh, Elsa, I actually love working. ”

Elsa whispered, “Bullshit, nobody likes work. At least not many people in Serious Crimes liked it. ”

Luke nodded with a smile: "Well, let's just say I'm new here and want to show the right attitude to work. ”

Elsa startled and laughed: "Well, that's okay. ”

Get in the car and Elsa takes the car out.

From this point of view, it's a very powerful woman who doesn't even want to give Luke the wheel.

However, in the Serious Crimes Unit, it is also difficult for women with weaker personalities to stay.

Luke asked casually, "What are we going to look into? ”

Elsa: "A troublesome case, you know Winterstein-Katie? ”

Luke thought about it and shook his head: “A little familiar, I can't remember. ”

Elsa glanced at him and said, "You really don't know? ”

Luke: "Famous? Male and female? ”

Elsa: "… a female star who has only been red for two years and is only 21 years old this year. At the age of sixteen, he became famous when he starred in the film" Don't Move "by the great director Pedro. ”

Luke: “Oh, I don't know. Just familiar, perhaps inadvertently watched her name on the news. ”

Elsa: “She's in good shape, and Kenlou, you haven't seen her movie? ”

Luke shrugged: “I like to watch movies and TV shows like Star Wars or Brotherhood. This is supposed to be literary, right? I don't really see it. ”

Elsa said, "Well, that's accepted."

“She's been having a little trouble lately, and the other day she died at home, and she says she doesn't know him at all. Now, I'm gonna go back to her house and ask her about it.” Elsa said.

Luke: "What happened to the victim? ”

“Nobody. No identification, no dental records, no records in the fingerprint library or DNA library. Young white male, 25 to 27 years old, one meter, 75, weighing over 220 pounds. Oh, by the way, his body floated naked in Miss Katie's pool and was only discovered the next morning by a cleaning babysitter, which was why the police were called.” Elsa said a bunch of messages out.

Luke listened carefully, and after listening, he was surprised: "One meter, 75, 220 pounds? Is this a big fat guy? ”

Elsa nodded: "So, besides the mole, I can't think of any possibility of this man dying there quietly. The security at Miss Katie's is okay, not a place where a 200 pound fat man can walk in and out of. ”

Luke was surprised by that, too.

More than 200 pounds of fat men would have been inconvenient to move into, let alone run into, the home of a female star.

These wealthy people basically have electronic security systems in their homes, and when they do, they're checked out, not professionals, not so easy to sneak into.

The car has been driven to Beverly Hills in a talking room for two.

Luke wonders, "Cady lives here. Is she rich? Isn't she a few years old? ”

Elsa shrugged: “She lives here, how she makes money, how much she makes, that's what IRS cares about. ”

Luke asked randomly, and the story changed the subject: "Did you find anything before? ”

Elsa shook her head: "This big star has a big shelf and has a lawyer present every time she meets. If it hadn't been a life suit, she'd have just told the nanny to get us out of here. ”
