It wasn't that they were indifferent, but that detectives had limited time and energy.
In American TV dramas, many detectives were determined to get to the bottom of a case. It was as if they were determined not to give up.
But in fact, detectives weren't qualified to do that.
Pursuing one case would only delay the investigation of more cases, and sooner or later, they would be fired by their superiors.
Even if they were very interested in a case, they could only investigate it as long as it didn't affect their work.
That was the difference between a police detective and a private investigator. The former had to maintain social order, while the latter had to focus on a particular case.
After that, it was Selina's turn to ask about Luke's schedule in Paris, and to see all the photos of him and Elena.
This made her extremely jealous.
She was disappointed. "I can't believe I'm not on such a fun trip. I want to go shopping in Paris and sunbathe in Marseilles. "
Luke chuckled. "I'm going to Las Vegas for a few days. Do you want to come?"
Selina was pleasantly surprised, but then shook her head. "I don't think it'll be easy. I have a lot of work to do right now."
Luke shrugged. "That's fine. Let's wait for a while. Work harder. Did I tell you that Elsa might get a promotion? "
Selina thought for a moment, then nodded. "I've heard rumors. What does that have to do with me?"
Luke said, "If she's really promoted, I'll ask for you to be transferred here again as my partner."
Selina was surprised. "But didn't you say that we'd need a few months to familiarize ourselves with this place and establish our own network?"
Luke chuckled. "Elsa and I are pretty close. I can use most of Elsa's intelligence resources, as long as she gets more credit. We were isolated in the Major Crimes Division in Houston. Now, both Dustin and Elsa are on our side. It won't be a problem for us to be partners again! "
Selina was excited too. "Really?"
Luke said, "Really. I tested Elsa, and she didn't object to the idea, but that's if she becomes sheriff and becomes my boss instead of my partner. "
Selina asked, "How long will that take? Will it be half a year or a year? She only said that she'll be promoted in the next few months. "
Luke said, "Two months at most. It's also possible that we'll get results in a month."
Selina said, "Oh, that's great."
Luke chuckled. "Happy now? Get up and wash the dishes. "
Selina said, "Gosh, I'm so bloated. I need to rest a bit more."
Ignoring her clumsy acting, Luke got up and said, "That's your job. I'm going to take a shower."
When he came out of the shower, Selina had already cleaned up and gone to the kitchen.
Luke shook his head with a smile and checked his laptop again.
Nothing happened that night.
The next day, Luke and Selina each drove to work.
Selina was in high spirits. After the barbecue last night, she had eaten Luke's breakfast this morning. Even the cupcakes and snacks that had been cut off earlier had been restocked in her bag.
The glutton Na was naturally in a good mood.
When he arrived at the police department, he saw that Elsa was sitting in front of her desk, looking refreshed.
She greeted Luke when he walked over.
Luke gave her a paper bag with a smile and said, "These are your cupcakes. You can snack on them when you're free."
Elsa was slightly surprised. She didn't really care about food, but she couldn't help but take one out and eat it.
She regretted it only a few minutes later.
Although Americans valued privacy and kept their distance, Elsa was one of the most senior detectives in the Major Crimes Division.
Five of the detectives in the Major Crimes Division had been under her tutelage when they were rookies, and could be considered half her students.
Five of the detectives in the Major Crimes Division had been under her tutelage when they were rookies, and could be considered half her students.
There were also four or five who were close to her after working together for several years.
It meant that she was close to half of the detectives in the Major Crimes Division.
When friends became close, they weren't very reliable.
Elsa didn't think much of the cupcakes, but it was a different story for the others.
Dustin happened to come out of the bathroom at that moment. He saw the cupcakes in the open paper bag and saw that there were still a few inside. He took one and said, "Well, I haven't had breakfast yet. Thanks, Elsa."
Elsa didn't think much of it. She only thought that the cupcakes tasted as good as the ones she bought at the pastry shop.
Billy Wang, an old Chinese detective, leaned over and said, "Oh, I haven't had breakfast either. Thanks, Elsa." He took another cupcake.
A younger policewoman, Melinda, who was about 27 or 28, leaned over. "Aye, Elsa, you still remember that I like cupcakes. Thanks." She also grabbed a cupcake and left.
That wasn't the end of it. Slightly further away, a few detectives who had arrived early came over as well.
They said the same thing, and the last two cupcakes in the paper bag were gone too.
The detectives who didn't get any cupcakes could only disperse.
But one of them shouted shamelessly, "Ayesha, bring more next time. You only brought this much cupcakes when you're treating us. I brought a dozen doughnuts last time. "
Elsa was conflicted. She only had one cupcake! Those b * stards!
More importantly, the cupcakes were really good. They cost at least three to five dollars each at the pastry shop. How could those cheap doughnuts compare to them?
What a loss! That was the only thought in her mind.
If she had known that Luke's homemade cupcakes were so good, she wouldn't have put them out like this. She would have kept them for herself, which was better than giving them to those b * stards.
The detectives who dared to interfere were all close to her. One more cupcake or one less wouldn't affect their relationship at all. That was the biggest loss.
She looked at Luke and said, "Couldn't you have given it to me when they weren't around?"
Luke smiled but didn't say anything. He was giving the cupcakes to Elsa anyway. It wasn't his fault that she couldn't keep them.
After she finished the cupcake, Luke asked, "What's the situation with the case?"
Elsa tossed him the case file, and he flipped through it.
"It's a tricky case," Elsa said. "The victim is a guy named William Johnson. Someone shot him in the head while he was in a car. He's in the real estate business, and his background isn't clean. According to our files, he's involved in a lot of threats and assaults. There were also rumors that he was involved in many murders, which happened to the residents and tenants of some old buildings. According to our intelligence, the buildings and land all belong to William Johnson. "
