Chapter 991: The Cake of the Soul of Morder (1 more)
Recently, there have been a lot of things going on in the police department, but there are not many urgent cases in the hands of the two.
Dustin went from being the head of the Crime Team in a separate corner of the LAPD to the chief of the detective department at the NYPD headquarters, and there were subtle changes in the functional requirements for the two Lukes.
Before he arrived, the quality of the detective bureau's work was above the par line.
After he came, even if he came to Xiao Gui Cao, he would still be able to get a passing grade and excellent results.
Now, there are very few cases that he handed over directly to Luke.
Because Dustin doesn't need the two of them to brush up on the crime rate as they used to.
With the cases received by the Detective Bureau at the headquarters, 5,000 to 10,000 cases a year are possible.
Luke and his wife have solved more than 100 cases in more than a year, and it will only make the detection rate increase by one or two percentage points, but it can make the two of them vomit blood - this is Dustin's own idea.
He would rather Luke and the others pick the cases they are interested in and take fewer cases, so that they can take on difficult cases at any time.
This kind of case is not necessarily dangerous, but it is certainly troublesome, as was the case with the Soderbergh family yesterday.
Previously, Luke and the others also dealt with the attack on Walter and provided important information on Damico's downline, and they didn't have much time to do things, but they were very good at solving problems.
Spearhead + Odd Soldier, this is Dustin's new positioning for the two of them.
It is really a waste to devote the energy of the two to endless ordinary criminal cases.
After all, this is New York.
The light was too bright, and there was no hard enough backstage, and he was afraid that Luke and the others would be targeted.
Deputy Commissioner Brad was able to give up on Luke and the two without hesitation, but Dustin was absolutely reluctant.
Therefore, he consciously controlled the number of cases taken by the two, and even acquiesced in their laziness from time to time.
Now going to the police station, Luke and the two are mostly just to get acquainted.
People like John and Joe still have to meet every few days, and they can't play the trick of cloud greetings.
They are all old-school police detectives, and it is difficult to promote the relationship if they don't accompany them to open their mouths, drink small wine, and scold their bosses of pigs.
Of course, everyone is busy.
Meeting once every three or five days, and meeting once a week or two is considered very diligent, and it can be postponed but not missing.
When I arrived at the police station today, Luke took the initiative to greet a few people, and Selena began to take out snacks from the boxes of the folding small trailer and send them one by one.
Connie, a little blonde beauty, was full of surprise and took the brown paper bag from Selena's hand: "Dim sum? Do it yourself? ”
Instead of being suspicious of the two Lukes, she despaired of the tradition of the Detective Bureau.
Among the front-line detectives in the police detective bureau, there is no one who can make their own snacks and bring them to the police station.
Even if you buy doughnuts for a treat, it's one or two boxes, first come, first served, never too much.
There are nearly 100 "pure rice bucket" detectives in the police detective bureau, and even if they are skilled civilians, they dare not give away dim sum publicly, because they can't beat it without hundreds of servings.
Even if you buy a doughnut to give it away, you will go bankrupt.
Luke disagreed: "It's just cupcakes, Selena just happens to have a big oven." ”
He wasn't lying.
Now, he makes this snack like washing clothes in a regular washing machine.
The difference is that the washing machine needs to put clothes and laundry detergent, while the smart kitchenware is to put enough raw materials, and then it is a matter of pressing a few clicks to operate the panel.
When the time came, hundreds of small cakes appeared at a time.
Of course, Selena's comment on this kind of "automated dim sum" is - no soul.
She couldn't tell the specific reason, but as long as she took a bite, she could accurately tell whether the cake was made by Luke himself or by smart kitchen utensils.
However, this kind of mass-produced dim sum can be used as a snack for a dog's head at home, and it can be used as a wholesale gift at the police station.
Just one word - save trouble.
Although there are many people in the police station, only fifty or sixty percent of them come to work in the early morning.
Selena's work as a snack distribution is not busy.
Most of them were thrown directly at Connie, asking her to remind the returning detective that he could get a snack, as long as it was Luke and the others who gave it away.
A small part needs to be taken by Luke and Selena in person.
For example, Javier and Ryan, who yawned a lot, were a little scrambling when they received the cake that Luke threw them.
"It's better to eat something before going to sleep after staying up late, otherwise it's easy to get gallstones." He reminded the two: "One is your team leader's, don't eat it all." ”
The two smiled bitterly and thanked each other.
Luke looked at them: "What kind of case do you have over there, and you still have to stay up all night to do it?" ”
The two glanced at each other, hesitated a little and then spoke: "A female college student was killed, and she died a bit strangely. ”
Luke: "Something to do with Miss Lindsay and Monroe?" ”
The question was obviously much easier, and Javier replied, "Because Lindsay and the victim often volunteer together, and the female college student and Monroe still have an intersection." ”
Luke was stunned: "What intersection?" ”
This question made the two of them stuck for a moment before Ryan whispered, "It is said that the victim once gave Monroe some psychological counseling or something. ”
Luke looked at the expressions of the two: "The victim shouldn't have died a strange death, right?" ”
"Ahem." A light cough sounded, and the three of them turned their heads sideways.
Javier and Ryan greeted awkwardly: "Beckett, you're back." ”
Beckett's face was a little tired, his professional clothes were a little wrinkled, and he had obviously worked overtime all night and had not yet gone home to change his clothes.
She had a little drop of water on her face, so she should have washed her face.
Luke didn't care, grabbed the brown paper bag in Javier's hand and handed it over: "Cupcakes, everyone has a share." ”
Javier looked at his empty hands and didn't dare to say anything.
Beckett took the paper bag casually, she had already seen the cake in Javier's hand, and she hadn't forgotten to glance at the table.
Luke shrugged, "I don't deliver coffee, that's too much trouble." ”
Ryan was much more astute: "Beckett, I'll pour you a cup of coffee." With that, he dragged Javier away.
What the two bigwigs want to talk about has nothing to do with them.
Contrary to Ryan's thoughts, Beckett didn't really care much about revealing the case to Luke in private.
To put it simply, if it's pleasing to the eye, it's easy to say anything.
If Ryan had told John casually, she might not have let him go so easily.
Beckett took out the cake in the paper bag and looked at it, and finally couldn't hold back, picked it up and took a bite.
I have to say that even if the automatic cake in Selena's mouth has no soul, the neat and beautiful shape will make many obsessive-compulsive disorders choose it with a slightly inferior taste.
Luke is not in a hurry, he is very idle now, and it is normal to occasionally care about other people's cases.
Importantly, look at the face!
Just as Beckett looks at him pleasing to the eye, he looks at Beckett as pleasing to the eye.
If John hadn't been a target for him in the first place, Luke wouldn't have treated him so well.
Beckett ate on the cake and asked, "Where did you buy it?" This cake tastes good, next time I can buy some for breakfast. ”
Luke: "Homemade, if you really want to eat it, you can go to Connie and get it, I put a lot of it there." ”
