Seeing that Luke and Selina weren't bothered, Sonia said in an even lower voice, "So, if HQ wants you to investigate these cases, you'd better stay away."
Luke nodded. "Got it. Thanks."
After they drove out of the police department, Selina clicked her tongue. "This isn't a small case. Even Sonia warned us not to get involved."
"That's what Elsa said too," said Luke.
Selina asked, "Fine. What are we going to do?"
"Just work on the small cases we're working on," said Luke casually as he drove the car out.
The small cases he was talking about weren't urgent, and might not necessarily be small.
Luke and Selina went to the crime scene and talked to the neighbors as usual, before they drove home.
After lunch, he was about to pick up Claire at the airport, when his phone rang.
Luke picked it up and said a few words with a conflicted expression.
Putting on a thin shirt, Selina asked, "What's wrong?"
Luke didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "You'll have to pick up Claire. I have to go to training."
Selina was at a loss. "Training? The one during the counter-terrorism exercise? "
Generally speaking, the training was just a temporary popularization of science in response to certain emergencies, or a formality that went through the motions, commonly known as a meeting.
The police department had indeed sent out a notice recently for officers to participate in this last-minute counter-terrorism training in batches, but it wasn't Luke and Selina's turn yet.
Luke said with a bitter smile, "Police academy training."
Selina was stunned. "You're going to be a teacher? Isn't it too early? "Of course, she was implying that he was too young.
Luke said, "I'm going to be a student."
Selina said, "You're kidding! Who can be your teacher there? "
Luke said, "Dustin arranged for me to patch up the loopholes in the police academy's training program. Whether we go to New York or stay here, things won't always be this peaceful. "
Selina nodded in enlightenment. "That's true. Dustin's really thoughtful."
Luke chuckled. "That's right. After my police academy training is over, we'll take the detective exam together."
"What?" Selina was shocked.
"Dustin's very thoughtful. He didn't forget about your detective exam," said Luke with a smile.
Selina was desperate. "I haven't even read a book. Am I going to hand in a blank paper?"
Luke winked at her. "Don't forget, you still have to get your degree."
Selina was stunned for a moment before she reacted. "You'll take care of it for me?"
Luke chuckled and gestured at the backseat. "Don't forget about this guy. Give him all the files, and then …"
Enlightened, Selina slapped her forehead. "That's right. Gold Nugget can help us find the answer. "
Luke nodded and said, "I'll make a question bank in advance. It's unlikely that you'll get full marks, but it'll be easy for you to pass or do well."
Selina said, "Darling, you're so talented."
After the two finished discussing their cheating methods, they each drove out.
Selina drove the car to pick up Claire, and Luke drove the secondhand Ford to the police academy outside the city.
Los Angeles was one of the largest police departments in the United States. Together with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, which was the fourth-largest police department in the United States, the police academy had been set up in the greater Los Angeles area to the east of downtown.
The police academy was further east in Monterey Park, and it was about an hour's drive from the west side of Los Angeles. Naturally, Luke didn't have time to pick up Claire.
In the car, Luke called Catherine and confirmed that Claire was already on the plane, and that Robert had received a satellite phone that had been delivered to his door.
After reminding Catherine and exchanging a few sarcastic words with Robert, he hung up the phone.
On the way to the east side of Los Angeles, he noticed that there were a lot more police cars on the streets.
He saw a lot of plainclothes detectives at Monterey Park Cemetery and the viaduct.
Shrugging, Luke continued on.
It was all the eastside police department's business, and had nothing to do with him.
At the police academy, he showed his badge and was let in.
The environment here was pretty good. There was a park not far away, and there were a few small lakes in the park.
Compared with downtown Los Angeles, life here was quieter and more comfortable.
Of course, that didn't include the rookies in the police academy.
They had to train here for several months in order to be promoted, and their days weren't easy.
But in recent years, law and order in Los Angeles had deteriorated, and young people with high education were less interested in the profession, so the number of trainees in the police academy had hit new lows.
For example, Sonia's weak partner, Alessandro, had become a detective in the Major Crimes Division even though there were some minor problems with his file.
Luke, an 18-year-old young man, had become a detective, and the Internal Affairs Division hadn't let him go.
There were fewer and fewer detectives who could work cases, and the Internal Affairs Division could only succumb to the pressure.
Luke parked the car in front of the office building and went in to look for the director of training at the police academy.
The director, who was in his forties and had white hair, was called Remick.
Accepting Luke's training file and reading it for a moment, he had a strange expression on his face. "You're … already a level three detective?"
Luke nodded with a straight face. "Yes."
Remick smacked his lips and put down the file. He opened a slip of paper and gave it to Luke. "Turn right when you leave the building and go straight out. Report to Instructor Peterson with this in the classroom on the ground floor of Block 2."
Luke accepted the slip of paper. "Okay, thanks." He then left.
Remick finally made a call. "Hey, boss, how come I have a level-three detective here to complete the police training? Did the clerk type the wrong information? "
A moment later, he was surprised. "Is that okay? But … I've already told him to report in. "
The person on the other end of the line didn't think much of it. "Then go over and tell the instructor about Detective Luke. Don't treat him like a rookie."
Remick: "… Fine, you're the boss. Whatever you say."
Hanging up the phone, he mumbled as he got up, "Are you kidding me? Even police training is just a formality. Are we going to rely on these brats to maintain law and order in Los Angeles in the future? The boss of the east side is about to step down. Aren't you afraid that you'll step down one day? "
After roasting his irresponsible boss, Remick put on his coat and walked out the door.
At the very least, he still had to carry out this stupid order before his idiot boss stepped down.
Luke soon found his instructor, Peterson.
In fact, the timing of his appearance was rather awkward.
In the classroom, Instructor Peterson said solemnly, "There's no special treatment or leniency here, and mistakes are strictly forbidden. Rookies, do you understand? "At that moment, Luke pushed open the door and entered.
More than thirty pairs of eyes in the large classroom all looked over, and then the gazes of the rookies all turned to Peterson. 8)
