Remick knew that many police officers who graduated from high school and community college could only be sergeants after working hard for more than a decade, and only get the position of lieutenant if they were lucky.
A diploma was the key to determining the upper limit for most people.
A diploma from a famous university was really an advantage when it came to promotions.
But after thinking for a moment, he shook his head. "If your sister goes to college for a few years, she'll still have to undergo retraining. That's the rule."
Luke wasn't too surprised. "Thank you, Remick."
Walking out of the administration building, he looked at the girls on the playground and walked over. "Claire."
Claire, Karen, and the black girl, Hux, were sitting on the grass and chatting.
Hearing his voice, the three of them turned around.
Claire was stunned. "Luke, why are you here?"
Luke said, "I'm a temporary staff member of the police academy."
Karen, however, had already stood up and gave him a big hug. "Thank you, Luke."
Noticing Selina's strange expression, Luke remained calm. "Why are you thanking me?"
Karen slapped her forehead. "You saved us the other day. You left too quickly. I wanted to treat you to dinner alone."
Selina didn't say anything, but amusement flashed in her eyes. This young lady's initiative wasn't bad! But she was still a far cry from Jenny's.
After chatting for a while, they learned that D15 was on break today.
Even though Los Angeles was still chaotic, these rookies weren't machines, and they weren't seasoned police officers.
Karen took the initiative again and suggested that they find a place to have lunch. She would treat them.
Claire hesitated for a moment, but still offered to help.
Under Selina's faint smile, Luke accepted the invitation.
Also, he and Karen chatted a lot during the rest of the trip.
After dinner at a seaside restaurant in Santa Monica, they said their goodbyes and left. Selina said with a smile, "Wow, these rich ladies are indeed elites. They pounce on me as soon as there's a chance."
Luke didn't think much of it. "That's a pretty good way of thinking. At the very least, it's better than those young ladies who put on airs and wait for people to lick their boots, isn't it?"
Selina said, "Stop pretending. You've been trying to get information out of this young lady, haven't you? What a pity … tsk tsk. "
Luke smiled. "Karen is Councilman Thompson's niece and Beth Patrick Thompson's cousin. After Councilman Henry Elsworth's plane crash a few months ago, Councilman Thompson had become a strong contender to be the new mayor. Also, the Thompson family has always been in conflict with the Elsworths. Otherwise, where do you think the information she revealed came from? "
Selina asked, "So you want to ask her about the Elsworths? But at her age, I don't think she knows too much, right? "
Luke chuckled. "No, she's already revealed a lot. Remember that she mentioned that the family told the younger generation not to have anything to do with the Elsworths? "
Selina thought for a moment. "She did say that. Is there a problem?"
"This also means that news about the Elsworths has already spread among these politicians, and it's definitely a very serious problem. Otherwise, these young people wouldn't have paid attention to it." Luke explained, "After all, it's not unusual for rebellious young people to get involved in killing games and cult worship in pursuit of excitement."
Selina nodded. "That's true."
Luke said, "The families involved in politics are much more sensitive than ordinary people. The fact that they're spreading the news within their families proves that the Elsworths matter can no longer be covered up. They're all trying their best to avoid this "earthquake" in California politics. "
Selina asked, "The Elsworths are that powerful? If they're unlucky, all of California will be affected? "
Luke said, "When an avalanche happens, not a single snowflake is innocent."
Selina asked, "What do you mean?"
"Even if a lot of people don't know what the Elsworths did, they're accomplices," Luke said. "These people might not be vampires, and they didn't kill anyone directly, but they're definitely corrupt and on the side of the evildoer. Have you forgotten how Wolf Elsworth broke into our interrogation room and took Young Master Dylan away? Do you really think Dustin wants to let this scum go? "
Selina nodded and got the gist of it.
He had never liked opponents who had no bottom line.
Sheldon Elsworth and his people had no respect for human life or rules at all. Naturally, Luke had to kill them.
In the next few days, as Luke had predicted, the political scene in Los Angeles changed drastically.
The FBI had already officially announced that they were investigating evidence of Sheldon Elsworth and his people's crimes, and had achieved significant results.
Sheldon's faction began to crumble.
The rest of the Elsworth family drew a line between themselves and Sheldon to protect themselves.
But how effective these actions were would depend on the depth of their involvement in the case and their own PR efforts.
In front of a bunch of opponents who were waiting to beat them up and split the profits, they couldn't wash their hands easily.
On the surface, Luke discovered that more than twenty middle-level Elsworths had suddenly disappeared.
Whether these people had escaped or been arrested, it would be a heavy blow to the Elsworth family's power.
Judging from Dustin's relaxed expression in the past two days, it was clear that the situation was in his and Jennifer's favor.
Elsa and Elizabeth started to go to work normally, and didn't have to take turns to protect Jennifer.
The only thing that surprised Luke was that Dr. Bruce Banner, Jennifer's cousin, had already left and hadn't visited her again.
It was normal for cousins to have little affection for each other, but Dr. Banner didn't seem like someone without affection when he donated blood.
Jennifer's unintentional words also revealed that the two of them were on pretty good terms.
After all, Banner had studied at the California Institute of Technology, which was a top university in Pasadena, a suburb of Los Angeles. It was only half an hour's drive away.
Like a mobile blood bank, Dr. Banner had come in a hurry, provided Jennifer with a few hundred milliliters of life-saving blood, and then disappeared in a hurry.
This was a little strange, but Luke didn't think too much of it.
Perhaps Dr. Banner was this kind of cousin who was cold on the outside but warm on the inside! Afraid of being thanked, it wasn't uncommon for a homebody to hide in his research room after doing a good deed.
Thankfully, Dr. Banner's phone number had already been left at the hospital as part of the admission registration.
Luke easily got the number and sent a message to Dr. Banner.
Of course, the wording of the message couldn't be that simple. He could only tell Dr. Banner not to let what happened to Jennifer affect his life and work.
