Chapter 090 and out of town? Missing again? Traveling for business again?
Perrick didn't even dare to put a fart.
No matter how deep the water is in Raccoon City, Beric can't even hear much about it.
He got both of them over, nearly killing Thomas and himself.
Thomas was right to scold him, it was really a bad move.
Now looking at the performance of the two Lukes, he felt even more uncomfortable in his heart.
If Luke and the others scolded him, then whether it was right or wrong, Luke and the others had no superiors, and their reputation for disobedience to management would fall.
But the two did not conflict with him on the surface, but their behavior began to show that they were alienated from him, and Peric knew that he had no possibility of reconciliation with these two.
The young Luke, with a calm expression, seemed to have seen through all his thoughts.
Peric, however, could not turn back.
His status makes it impossible for him to bow his head to these two newcomers.
That afternoon, the two got another case.
After reading the file this time, Luke went to find Perwick: "Sir, it's not our Houston police department's turn to intervene in this case, right?" ”
What he actually wants to say is, aren't you afraid of another Raccoon Market?
This is a case in Wolfkel, east of Houston, where a couple is said to have gone missing.
Perrick's face did not move, and he said calmly: "Well, so, you are in the past to assist in the investigation, only responsible for providing reference opinions, and the matter of solving the case is handed over to the local police station, is there a problem?" Our Serious Crime Team handles many similar cases every year, and if you are not satisfied, you can report to Director Thomas. ”
Luke's expression was calm: "Well, I understand, I'll report in the bureau." With that, he turned around and left.
Perrick's face was cold, and he snorted coldly in his heart: What about reporting? This case is the next step for Deputy Chief Sadra, and there is a kind of you asking Thomas to turn his face with this one.
Thomas has always wanted to be promoted to chief, but if he offends all the other bigwigs in the police department, his desire to be promoted to chief will basically be in vain.
Peric wished that Luke would go to Thomas to make trouble.
At that time, it was Thomas who clashed with another deputy director, Sadra, or thought that Luke and the two were ignorant and made trouble for Thomas, which was a good thing.
After thinking about it, Peric dialed out a phone and said a few words before hanging up the phone with a sneer: "Hehe, I helped you say hello in advance, but it's not that I didn't contribute." ”
He called the sheriff in Wolfker's town, and his tone was quite domineering and full of superiority.
I think that as long as the sheriff is a normal person, he can't stand this breath, and he will definitely give Luke and the two of them a little color to see.
After exiting Perwick's office, Luke finds Selena, and the two drive off.
Selena looked at the file in the car and complained, "Another case of disappearance? It's not going to be Director Thomas......"
Luke: "Perrick isn't that stupid, if there's a problem, that's what happened after we came back, and now we'...... Well, forget it, we're here to handle the case, not to that or anything. ”
He remembered the time he said before that he would travel to Raccoon City, and the environment was good, but Raccoon City was blown up.
He's a crow's mouth, it's better not to set up this kind of flag again.
Selena obviously thought of the same place, and nodded in agreement: "Well, we have to investigate the case well, and we will never travel." ”
Luke: "...... Can I ask you not to say that word again? I always had a sense of foreboding. ”
But he thought in his heart, where is there a second raccoon market, where is there a second umbrella company? He didn't believe it.
Come to think of it, Peric thought the same way.
Selena: "Haha, yes, yes, I was wrong. ”
After driving for more than an hour, suddenly Luke frowned and stopped the car.
"What's wrong?" Selena asked.
Luke looked at the tires and frowned, "The tires are flat." ”
Selena: "Then change the tires, I'll help you." ”
Luke was speechless for a moment before he said, "The problem is, all three tires are flat, and we don't have three spare tires in our car." ”
Selena: "What? "How is it possible that three tires are flat together?
It's a pity that neither of them is specialized in car repair, and no matter how specialized they are, it is impossible to repair all three tires without tools.
Luke looked up and saw that the location was a bit of a pain.
It was a hundred kilometers back to Houston, and the nearest small village was fifty kilometers away.
Further on, the small town of Wolfker was still forty or fifty kilometers away, and they happened to be stuck in the middle.
He took out his phone again and looked at it, but there was no signal at all.
Luke thought about it, and could only greet Selena: "Let's go, get out of the car and walk forward." ”
Fifty kilometers is really nothing for him, even if he carries Selena on his back, he can walk slowly.
The two of them didn't bring anything this time, just a backpack for each person.
After getting out of the car, the two slowly walked forward.
As a result, I didn't go far when I noticed another car on the side of the road in front of me.
Unlike their sedan, this one is a pickup-to-trailer motorhome.
Seeing the situation next to the RV, both Luke and Selena looked sideways.
The family was noisy there, a middle-aged man and a woman were arguing about something, a girl of seventeen or eighteen was lying on a folding sofa chair, sunbathing in denim shorts and a powder blue bikini, and a boy of sixteen or seventeen was playing with two dogs next to her.
This...... It's a farce.
Luke stepped forward and asked, "Excuse me, are you going to Wolfker?" ”
The middle-aged man and woman stopped arguing when the two approached, and the man replied, "Yes, are you too?" ”
Luke nodded, just as he was about to say something.
The middle-aged woman suddenly became happy: "Ah, that's great, can you help us bring a letter and find a trailer to come?" Our tires are broken. ”
Luke and Selena: "......"
The two of them want to take this bus to Wolfkel together! Anyway, this RV is big enough, as long as the other party does not refuse people thousands of miles away, they should have no problem hitchhiking.
Who knows, the other party also had a broken tire and had to stop here.
Both of them subconsciously looked down at the girl who was still lazily stuffed with the sun on the side of the road.
It was this leisurely posture that made them think that the family was resting and coming down to play.
Your car broke down in the wilderness where there is no village in front of you and no store in the back, but you are so leisurely, is it really good?
Luke could only talk to the middle-aged man for a few more words, and then set off again with Selena.
They can't count on this family, they can only move on, and if they really get to Wolfker, it is not too much trouble to help them call a towing company by the way.
The afterglow of the setting sun was sprinkled on the horizon, and the two of them were not in a hurry.
