Looking at Luke's brand-new and cool sunglasses, Dustin looked at the window in the hall.
The light coming in from the window was fairly bright, but there really wasn't any sun outside.
"Your sunglasses look nice. Did you just buy them?" he asked casually.
Luke said, "Yes. I suddenly felt like wearing a cooler pair of glasses."
Dustin had nothing to say to the capriciousness of the rich. "… Okay, let's get down to business. You reported to HQ the day before yesterday about the murder of the drug dealers' entire family. Do you remember that Norman from the DEA? "
I paid him a "friendly" visit the night before yesterday. How could I not remember him? Luke murmured inwardly and nodded. "That arrogant senior agent, right?"
Dustin sighed. "John caught this Norman last night. There were a bunch of drug dealers' bodies at the scene, as well as several agents from Norman's squad. They were all dead, and Norman was the only one who was seriously injured."
Luke was surprised. "The DEA is that fierce?"
Dustin smiled mockingly. "You're indeed fierce. They got wind of it very quickly and took Norman away. "
Luke said, "Then, this has nothing to do with us, right?"
Dustin looked outside the office to make sure that nobody was standing there, before he said in a low voice, "But John gave me a camera, which recorded the whole process of Norman's deal with the drug dealers, and then the internal strife."
Luke exclaimed in shock. "How could there be such a thing?"
Dustin nodded slightly. "John found it at the scene. I speculate that the drug dealers wanted to record the deal as leverage against Norman. They didn't expect the deal to fall through, and the camera ended up in our hands. "
Luke thought for a moment before he asked, "Boss, what do you mean?"
Dustin dropped his pen and loosened his tie. He gnashed his teeth. "I don't know what to do. John really knows how to make trouble for me. He just happened to see a patrol car on his way off work and hitched a ride. In the end, I got myself into this hot potato. "
Luke rolled his eyes. "Boss, do you want to make a move on Norman?"
Dustin looked out of the office again and said, "I had someone investigate Norman's background yesterday. He has contacts in the upper echelons of the DEA. Otherwise, with all the mess he's made in the past few years, why would he still be working in the DEA? "
Luke rubbed his forehead. "So troublesome? In that case, it's better to throw the recording out. "
Dustin asked, "To whom?"
Luke chuckled. "If there's any credit, remember our big boss."
Dustin fell silent, his eyes flickering.
He actually had the same plan, but he was a little unwilling.
In the video, Norman admitted that he sold several tons of illegal drugs a year.
It had only been a year, and Norman had been a senior agent for five years.
If this case was really solved, they would definitely be able to fish out the big fish, and the credit would definitely be huge.
But it was precisely because of this that Dustin became cautious.
Norman was a hardcore supporter of a certain big shot in New York's DEA.
He sold a few tons of illegal drugs a year. If he said that the big boss didn't know, he would have to be stupid to say that he didn't know.
A brainless person couldn't be a big shot in New York's DEA.
Moreover, Norman had sold so many illegal drugs. Where had the money gone?
Norman definitely couldn't eat such a big piece of cake himself. The only person who could eat it was that big shot.
Or rather, the group of people that the big shot represented.
Since these people dared to deal with drug dealers for a long time, it wouldn't be hard for the drug dealers to find a few desperadoes to get rid of the people who wanted to expose them. Furthermore, these people definitely wouldn't be implicated.
Thus, the recording could only be given to Luke's big boss, Brad, the first deputy commissioner of the NPD.
Thinking for a moment, Big Time sighed helplessly. "That's all we can do."
He was ambitious and didn't lack a sense of justice.
If possible, he really wanted to investigate this case to the bottom.
Unfortunately, he couldn't.
On the other hand, Brad would not support him in publicizing a case of this level.
Dustin's old boss was more like a system creature. When faced with such a major case, he would only consider interests.
Justice? What was that? Could it be used as a meal?
Dustin couldn't investigate this case on his own. He had to get help from his subordinates.
This was a serious matter, and he had to use his own people.
But if the other party fought back, the relevant personnel would definitely be implicated.
He had the courage to take the risk himself, and Luke and Selina might not be afraid either.
But what about Elsa? Elizabeth?
One of them wasn't young, and it hadn't been easy for her to get a civilian job. It wouldn't be difficult for her to get promoted to APTA before she was forty.
The other was young and capable, and might become a stronger version of Elsa in the future.
He could not bring his old crew of the little boat into the ditch because of his own ideas.
After asking Luke, his most valued subordinate, for his opinion, Dustin gave up.
If he really investigated this case, the others might die on the spot in two days.
Only Luke was capable of protecting himself and investigating the case.
But judging from Luke's attitude, Dustin knew that he had no intention of investigating further.
Dustin didn't think that Luke was a coward.
The DEA wasn't the Elsworths. This was one of the most violent organizations in America.
Compared with the Elsworths, who played with power, they were better at solving problems from the inside.
For the sake of this drug smuggling case that involved tons of illegal drugs, the people in the DEA wouldn't mind using the methods they were best at.
Making up his mind, Dustin decisively kicked them out.
After leaving the police department, Luke and Selina went their separate ways.
Selina drove off with Gold Nugget. She was going shopping.
She hadn't had a break since coming to New York. Since Luke clearly said that he was going to rest for a few days, she chose to give herself a break.
Luke, on the other hand, took a taxi back to his home in Clinton to see if Lawyer Matt was working as usual today.
He was in luck today. A taxi happened to get off on the street.
Looking at the man in the suit who was squatting on the ground and vomiting, Luke opened the door and got in. He said with a smile, "Clinton. Also, please keep this "plane" below 50 kilometers per hour. "
The driver in the front seat turned his head. "Hey, going to Hell's Kitchen costs extra. Wow, who is this? Who's here? Oh my god, am I hallucinating? Kid, tell me if that's the case. "
Listening to the hurried, clear, and rhythmic words, Luke took out a hundred dollars with a smile and stuffed it into the driver's pocket. "Okay, I'll pay you a hundred dollars first."
The driver laughed and stuffed the money into his pocket. As he drove off, he didn't forget to say, "I'm sure it's you with your generosity. I've been driving for so long, and those who are generous aren't as young as you, and those who are younger aren't as generous. More importantly, none of them are as handsome as you. "
