After transferring the loot, the four women changed the color of the BMW 760Li and left the crime scene.
No wonder the New York police couldn't catch them or find out where the money was.
Luke wasn't moved at all by the money.
He wouldn't be tempted by the money at all.
Strictly speaking, this money should belong to the bank. If he took it, it was very likely that he obtained it through illegal means.
Although he could've taken the money from the women, the women hadn't killed anyone during the robbery, and had been making money from the bank with their brains and schemes. Only the two guards who tried to resist had been shot a few times.
Luke might not be able to take the criminals' money without any qualms.
Also, the money that they had stolen was worth at least twenty dollars. Luke didn't want to waste credit points on experiments.
He simply turned into a cameraman again and captured the scene of the money.
The women had sealed the money and hidden it in the compartment of the car, so that there wasn't much smell left.
It was obvious that they weren't going to give the money to Sergei.
There was no telling how the two groups of people, who each had their own plans, would end up.
Thinking that, Luke turned off the camera and played with it. He was relieved to see the notification. Thankfully, it wasn't fashionable to install surveillance cameras everywhere, and there weren't any in this warehouse.
His fake phone had a detection function within a hundred meters, which could locate eavesdroppers or cameras. It also had a one-button interference function to ensure that the devices couldn't record anything.
It was also why he had made up his mind to learn Tony Stark's elementary abilities.
Without these gadgets that he had modified himself, it was possible that he would be tricked by a hidden camera or eavesdropper that was worth dozens of dollars.
With this gadget, he could attack or retreat at will. Everything would be under his control.
After the four women finished their work and went to rest in a nearby room, Luke nimbly crawled in through a window.
Taking advantage of the concealment in the warehouse, he crept to the A8, took out the improved tracker from his backpack, and deftly stuck it to the bottom of the car.
After that, Luke snuck out again.
However, before he came out, he also placed inconspicuous bugs that looked like black buttons in a few corners.
Chances were that he would be able to hear the women's retreat plan.
After they left, Luke rode his bike to a nearby fast food restaurant.
Wearing earplugs, he listened to the sounds coming from the bug while thinking about how to take advantage of the robbery to get the most benefits.
Sergei had to be arrested. The guy was vicious and reckless. It would be hard for the LAPD to answer to the public after Katie's death.
As long as Sergei was brought back to Los Angeles for trial, it wouldn't be Luke's business whether or not he was convicted. That was the D.A.'s responsibility.
His partner, Elsa, the veteran detective, Dustin, the head of the Major Crimes Division, and even the chief of the Westside Police Department had all contributed to the case.
The distribution of the credit was entirely up to them.
The major cases he had cracked in Houston, however, had nothing to do with the veteran detectives or his direct superior, Brock. Even the details of the cases hadn't been made public to Brock.
That was a big part of why he and Brock had ended up like that.
It would have been better if Brock had been more generous.
But while Brock was a good man in many ways, he was narrow-minded, if not narrow-minded. In the end, the two of them could only hurt each other.
Luke and his new boss, Dustin, hadn't had any conflicts yet. With this case as a foundation, their relationship wouldn't be strained in the future.
Besides, Elsa, the veteran detective who had worked for Dustin for a long time, would definitely be treated better.
Given their relationship, as long as Dustin wasn't out of his mind, he wouldn't deliberately target Luke.
So, Luke had to solve this case well!
He couldn't afford to lose Sergei. But what about the four women?
Luke hadn't made up his mind yet.
It wasn't that he was lustful, but that the four women hadn't killed anyone during the robbery. Only the two guards had been slightly injured.
The guns were just tools that they used to threaten the bank's security guards.
Even Luke didn't dare rob them of their loot, because their crimes weren't serious enough.
Once the deal with NYPD was made, the four women would be NYPD's responsibility, and Luke and Selina would have nothing to do with it.
So, should he arrest them or not?
Luke thought for a moment and decided not to target them, but he wouldn't indulge them, either. At the very least, he had to keep the loot.
Based on his understanding of the Super Detective System, the experience and credit reward for a crime of their level should be mainly on recovering the loot.
In the hijacking incident, most of the experience and credit reward should be from saving the passengers, so the system wouldn't give him the reward until all the passengers were off the plane and out of the bomb threat, instead of giving him the reward right after he subdued the five terrorists.
As Luke pondered, he heard the conversation that he had overheard through the bug in his earpiece.
… I don't understand them at all! He shook his head helplessly.
He wasn't even good at Spanish, much less Portuguese.
He could only operate the device that looked like a phone and read the words that popped up on it.
It was a speech recognition and translation system. It looked rather awkward, but at least he could understand most of the keywords.
As he expected, the women planned to leave after the robbery.
They wouldn't meet up with Sergei at all. Instead, they would drive through Queens and Nassau County from the warehouse to get away from NYPD.
As for the loot, they had their own ways to spend it in Brazil.
Nobody in Brazil would care if the money was loot; they would only check if it was real.
After listening for a long time, Luke figured out the women's plan, and quickly packed up.
He found Elsa at the police department, who was still reading files and waiting for news, and told her about the women's plan.
Elsa grew excited. "They're going to rob us again?"
Luke said, "Elsa, they won't give you any of the loot. Why are you so excited?"
Ignoring his teasing, Elsa mumbled, "NYPD won't be able to take it if they succeed again."
Luke said, "But their plan is very tight. After the robbery, they'll leave Nassau County in half a day. How are we going to communicate with NYPD? "
Elsa narrowed her eyes and pondered. "What if we stop them on their way out?"
Luke said, "… Elsa, you wouldn't do that, would you?"
He knew what she was getting at.
