Because of this, Luke's car insurance couldn't be settled in the foreseeable future.
Luke and Selina simply bought two bicycles and rode them to the police department every day before they went out on patrol in the police car.
It was a good way to save money and exercise.
Luke was truly broke. He had given most of the ten thousand dollars he had gotten from the Carlos family to Carlo.
But he had spent most of his salary on the new car that had disappeared.
That made Luke a little angry at Umbrella Corporation. Why didn't they give him a chance to put some cash in?
For the sake of his experiment, he had taken a five dollar bill from Robert's shop in Raccoon City and spent it on his return.
After he spent the money, he checked his personal menu. A system notification popped up: You have illegally obtained another person's property. You have lost 5 credit points.
Luke immediately understood that the Super Detective System was just as he had imagined. It was a righteous system that wouldn't allow him to do anything he wanted.
Then, he recalled how nothing had happened to the ten thousand dollars he had taken from the Carlos family. He had even spent thousands of dollars, yet his credit points hadn't been deducted.
The system's rules were very obvious.
Some criminals would automatically lose the system's protection. Whether he killed them or took their property, he wouldn't lose any credit points.
But he couldn't do that to ordinary people who hadn't committed a crime.
Luke would continue experimenting. For example, he wanted to know what kind of criminals he could take for free, and whether there was a limit to the extent of the crime.
But credit points were precious. He planned to experiment with one dollar, or even two, in the future.
Otherwise, he would be able to buy a basic ability if he deducted 100 dollars.
He didn't use Selina's money because they were too close. It was hard to say who owed whom more money.
The safest way right now was to pick on some drug dealers. He could definitely take their money.
Also, if he took five dollars, he would lose five credit points. What if he killed innocent people? Considering the system's attitude toward criminals, Luke didn't think it would end well.
But money wasn't an urgent matter.
First of all, Luke's arm had just recovered, and he needed rehabilitation training.
Secondly, Luke and Selina had just gotten a raise. Since they were both single, they didn't have any extra expenses.
Finally, the appearance of street patrols made Houston patrol more frequently, and all kinds of cases were handled more strictly. This was clearly not a good time to secretly clean up drug dealers.
Now, Tony Stark had come to Houston to discuss the future of interstellar resources or spaceships.
Houston's official nickname was Space City.
This was originally the aerospace center of the United States, and Houston's basketball team was directly called the Rockets.
It had always been a gathering place for companies researching and developing space technology.
It just so happened that Stark had been the victim of a rotten egg protest by a peace organization a few days ago. Now that the old men of the city government felt that they had to show off, they simply launched a clean-up operation.
He had to clean up Houston before the meeting. At the very least, he couldn't let those prostitutes and traffickers be too brazen.
Luke and Selina weren't really patrolling the streets. They were only responsible for dealing with possible emergencies, such as crossfire or disputes in certain places.
Detectives from the Major Crimes Division were much more intimidating and powerful than ordinary police officers.
With their rich experience in handling cases, they could easily intimidate most people into being honest.
In fact, Brock didn't really want to send Luke and Selina out.
This kind of mission would greatly familiarize them with the environment and speed up their networking.
But he couldn't ignore the director's order and not send anyone out.
The other detectives also had a lot of cases to deal with, and couldn't waste too much time on street patrols.
So, he could only leave the task to Luke and Selina, as well as another group of unlucky detectives.
The difference was that Luke and Selina were always on duty, while the other detectives of the Major Crimes Division took turns.
Things went as they had imagined.
In one morning, Luke and Selina warned three groups of hoodlums on the streets. These were the drug dealers' most underlings, and they were responsible for the final delivery of the drugs. They weren't afraid of them at all, and simply laughed it off.
Some of them even tried to flirt with the female officer.
Without any hesitation, Selina taught them a lesson with her Brazilian jiu-jitsu. She grabbed their joints, and the hoodlums cried out in pain.
It was impossible for them to file a complaint, not in this lifetime.
Rather than letting the hoodlums file a complaint, it would be better to guard against an ambush after Luke and Selina got off work.
But Luke and Selina were only warning the hoodlums, not killing them.
They weren't the DEA, and the Major Crimes Division wouldn't bother with these small fry unless it was a special case.
This was just a small problem. These hooligans were actually very tactful and knew what the Houston Police Department had been doing recently.
At most, he cursed a few times before retreating into a darker and more secluded corner.
They had no intention of messing with the Major Crimes Division, and it was more practical for them to make money.
The other incidents were even more bizarre.
A woman was hanging clothes outside the window, and someone filed a complaint against her. The officer went over to talk to her, and the fat woman simply took out a black, thick, and long double-barreled shotgun, indicating that she wasn't going to be bullied.
The officer and the tough woman were at a stalemate, and in the end, he called Luke and Selina over.
Selina went over and suppressed the tough woman like a tigress, asking the officer to bring her back for questioning.
Of course, it was mainly because the tough woman hadn't actually planned to shoot, but the officer wasn't willing to take the risk.
He also didn't want news of a police officer shooting a woman because of something like hanging clothes.
Luke also noticed that. He stepped forward from the side and snatched the shotgun.
Also, a certain family had been reported for child trafficking.
The officer went over, but the other party refused to open the door.
In the end, Luke and Selina went over, and Selina went over again. After a series of negotiations in Mexican, she finally opened the door.
It was a Mexican girl inside. She hadn't trafficked the children, but had given birth to them.
She didn't open the door because she didn't have a green card.
Selina's words weren't very technical. She simply told the girl through the door that she was from the Major Crimes Division, not Immigration, and that she didn't care about immigration.
Selina also specifically said that her parents were immigrants from Mexico, and that she wasn't interested in investigating the girl's identity. However, if the girl continued to do this, she would definitely be sent back to Mexico after an official investigation.
Selina knew the mentality of illegal immigrants all too well. She had heard her parents talk about the days when they lived in fear.
