"Sentinel Secret Service?"

"Yes."

“……”

Luke couldn't help but frown as he listened to Earl's voice on the phone.

Shet.

Did the slap in the face come so quickly?

He only thought about the quiet years in the last second, and it was a very suitable day to enjoy retirement, but the next second the Sentinel Secret Service came to the door?

Rucker's mind swirled.

"What are the Sentinels doing here?"

"They want jurisdiction over a case."

“…… Which case? ”

"A serial case of theft of bank vaults."

“……”

Luke breathed a sigh of relief inwardly.

He thought the Sentinel Secret Service had come for the bombing of the Mill neighborhood.

However, it is impossible to think about it.

After all, the Mill community bombing case has been closed, and the White House and the Department of Justice also know that if the Sentinels want to investigate the Mill community bombing, it will not be a slap in the face of the FBI, or even a slap in the face of the Justice Department and the White House.

"Bank vault theft?"

"Yes."

"What kind of case is this?"

Luke got up from the recliner and walked over to the flower pot that Rachel had planted in the backyard, asking Earl curiously.

After all, although he has been appointed as the assistant director of operations, he is not clear about all historical cases.

Earl explained Ruke about the serial theft of the bank vault on the phone.

To put it simply.

This case is about the fact that the vaults of seven banks were suspected to have been stolen by the same suspect or by the same gang of thieves during the past two years.

The reason why it is suspicious is because almost all of these seven banks only learned about their theft when they went to work the next day.

Because at the scene, there was no trace of the vault being broken from the outside, and at the same time, there was no sign of opening the vault password lock in the bank's internal system, and even the monitoring of the bank and the monitoring of the vault were not found any clues.

Because of the monitoring of the vault, during the time period of the crime, it seems to have been interfered by some kind of electromagnetic waves, and they all showed a state of blurred screens.

By the time the monitoring was restored, their vaults were already in shambles.

And there were no fingerprints and footprints of suspected vault thieves collected at the scene.

"Seven in two years."

"There are no traces of external attacks, and there are no problems with bank monitoring."

"The inside of the vault was stolen, and then the thief was gone."

Luke listened to Earl's popular science on the phone, raised his eyebrows, and said, "No matter how you look at this, it looks like those mutants with special abilities did it, didn't this case be handed over to the Sentinel Secret Service before?" ”

He listened to Earl's popular science, and he also instantly thought of the suspects, to a large extent, it may be those mutants who have all kinds of unbelievable abilities after awakening the X gene.

Earl said: "I just asked the administrative agent to inquire, it is said that three months ago, the stolen California vault, there was a safe deposit box of the former director, so the former director pressed the case, let Bill Kings busy with the truck robbery, as soon as possible after the case was solved, so ......"

Luke understood.

But......

"Give it to them."

Luke smiled and said, "Since the Sentinel Secret Service wants this case, and this case is suspected to have been done by mutants, then transfer the case to them." ”

Anyway, this case didn't happen during his tenure, and it can't be solved, and it is also the incompetence of the predecessor, which has nothing to do with him.

Lu Ke, who used to be in a mission world of the main god and also served as the federal director of a state, knows the way to throw the blame in the federal law enforcement agencies very well.

Pushing the case to the Sentinel Secret Service is the wisest option.

Although this case happened during the previous term, there is no guarantee that the vault thief will come again, and when the time comes, Luke can take advantage of the situation and say that this case is not the FBI's problem, but the Sentinel's Secret Service's problem.

This is also why, whether it is a movie or an American drama, whenever there is an arrest scene, almost only a single law enforcement agency appears, and it is rare for multiple law enforcement agencies to appear together and arrest the same target.

The national situation is different.

Dongguo solves the case, and the emphasis is on working together regardless of others, multi-department cooperation, and the suspect is caught first, and then the rest.

In the Federation, what is important is that before the case occurs, if you can get rid of your responsibility, you must first get rid of your responsibility.

Luke is just following the locals.

"Okay, Director."

Earl nodded on the phone.

"Then where are you now, I will bring the file over, transfer the file, and need your signature."

"I'm at home, come over directly."

"Okay."

Half an hour later.

Outside the door, the sound of two cars was heard.

Luke opened the door.

I saw Earl walking down from a car in front of him, and three men in suits who stepped down from a black Ford SUV in the back, led by a bald man.

"Director."

"This is Jason Turner, the senior sentry of the Sentinel Secret Service."

"Hello."

"Director Dane."

Bald Sentinel Jason Turner shook hands with Luke: "Thank you, Director Dane. ”

Luke smiled, looked at Jason Turner, who seemed a little tired in his eyebrows, and said while taking the confirmation letter of file transfer from Earl, "Mr. Turner, this has just flown from Atlanta to Los Santos?" ”

The Sentinel Secret Service has no sub-bureau or office in Los Santo.

To be exact.

The Sentinel Secret Service does not have any sub-bureaus except for its headquarters in Atlanta.

Their case handling model is similar to that of the investigation bureaus in the states.

For example, the California Bureau of Investigation.

The California Bureau of Investigation also has only one headquarters in Sacramento, and if there is a major case in California that needs to be investigated by the California Bureau of Investigation, they will flash directly from Sacramento to the place where the crime occurred and then borrow the office of the local police department.

The Sentinel Secret Service's pattern is similar to this.

Once a mutant is found somewhere in the Federation, they, the Sentinel Agents, will travel from Atlanta and take over the case from the local police department or other law enforcement agencies.

Jason Turner nodded and said, "yes, I just finished dealing with an arson mutant case in New Jersey, and then flew here non-stop." ”

When Luke heard this, he looked up at Jason Turner: "This case didn't happen now, why did you notice it now?" ”

Jason Turner smiled, and then, looking around, whispered: "To be honest, a bank vault in Atlanta was stolen a few days ago, and there was a safe in our supervisor, and then the supervisor checked, no, I flew directly from New Jersey here." ”

Luke raised an eyebrow.

"It seems that there are secrets of your supervisor in that safe."

"I think so too."

"Okay."

Luke shook his head with a smile and handed the signed confirmation letter to Jason Turner in front of him: "From now on, this case is yours." ”

He is not interested in solving crimes.

Joining the FBI, at first, was just to solve the problem of his identity.

Jason Turner took the confirmation and thanked Rucker again.

Lu Ke fully fulfilled the friendship of the landlord: "Do you have an office space, do you need me to find an office space for you in the federal building?" ”

Jason Turner handed the confirmation letter to the subordinate behind him, and politely declined Luke's kindness: "Thank you, but we have already booked a hotel when we came." ”

Luke didn't care, and shook hands with Jason Turner again: "Okay, then I wish you all a speedy case." ”

Jason Turner said thank you, and then, without staying long, he took the two subordinates behind him back into the car in a bit of a hurry, and then left the place in a puff of smoke.

Luke looked at the vanished vehicle, retracted his gaze, and invited Earle, "Come into the house and sit for a while?" ”

Earl shook his head and looked at Luke with a strange look.

Lu Ke raised his eyebrows, as if he had thought of something, laughed, and pulled away from the topic: "You can help take care of the affairs of the bureau in the past few days, and in two days, I will be able to handle things almost well, and then go back to work in the bureau." ”

He and Rachel were going to have a dinner tonight for State Councilman Dodge and his wife, plus Director Penning and his wife.

Then tomorrow I will accompany Lorna to the new school to report.

The next two days happened to be the weekend, and he now had a huge sum of six million, and he planned to use the weekend to find a place to buy the raw materials for the production, and when the raw materials arrived, he could call Carl, who was still looking for his daughter in New York City, to help him configure the potion that could restart the gene lock.

Gene lock restart.

That's a big deal!

In the afternoon.

Rachel leaves work early, takes Lorna, and returns home.

The staircase railing has been repaired.

Rachel walked over there, inspected it, looked at the parts that barely had much color difference from the adjacent guardrail, and nodded: "The restoration is quite professional." ”

Luke, who was admiring Lorna's re-dyed black hair, looked at Rachel who came over and smiled, "People are professional." ”

The two maintenance workers, relying on their own skills, are immigrants.

These people are not comparable to those Runren who have no skills.

Rachel looked at the time on her watch: "Let's go, let's go to the restaurant first, Bates just called, and she and Dodge have already left." ”

Luke nodded.

In the evening.

In a private room at the Whisper of the Forest restaurant in Runyon Canyon Park.

Luke, Rachel and Lorna hosted a dinner for state legislators Dodge and Penning, thanking them for all their help in the Mill community bombing.

At the dinner table, Luke, Dodge and Penning frequently raised their glasses, staggering.

Rachel is in charge of taking care of Dodge's wife, Bates, and Penning's wife, Michelle.

The atmosphere at the wine table was nice.

The relationship between the three families seems to have been further sublimated in a glass of wine.

In general, it is a sentence.

Socializing is successful.
