Chapter 510

Twenty minutes later.

Los Angeles Police Chief Frank also rushed to the city hall.

After seeing Luke, Frank looked him up and down, and asked concerned, "How is your body?"

Luke pointed to his ear, "Sir, a grenade exploded next to me just now, you have to speak louder."

Frank pointed to Luke's cheek, "Is it bad?"

Luke said, "I was scratched by a bullet in the face, it's not a big problem."

"I heard that you caught that terrorist yourself?"

"Yes, he was wounded by me, and then he took a tourist hostage, and was surrounded by colleagues who rushed to support him, knowing that he could not escape, he committed suicide by taking poison.

There's something wrong with his body, I don't recommend getting too close. "

Frank patted him on the shoulder, "Well done, just now the mayor called me and said that the conference room where they were meeting was attacked by an explosion. Fortunately, someone pressed the alarm and they left the conference room early, otherwise they might become a victim of the bombing."

Luke said, "I saw the terrorist leaving from the side door of the city hall, and I felt that he should have planted a bomb, so I arranged for Jackson to organize the evacuation of people in the building.

It was he who pressed the alarm. "

"I see. Thanks to you this time, I don't think they will cut the police department's funding this time."

Luke laughed, "So I've made a meritorious service."

"Of course, I have to talk to them and wait for my good news."

Not long after watching Frank leave, Reid rushed to the scene.

The two exchanged a few words in a low voice, and Luke briefly described the process of capturing Tapani Reagan.

Forensic doctor Sheila came over, "Director, Captain Li, there is a situation that requires you to come here."

"What's going on?" Rhett asked.

"We found gunshot wounds in the body's shoulders and legs, but they were not fatal.

The real cause of death of the corpse was poisoning. The toxicity was very strong, but it did not match the symptoms of common strong poisons. The type of poison is not clear yet, and I suspect that it may be a new type of poison. "

Luke asked, "Can we investigate the source of the poison?"

"Theoretically, it is possible, but before that, it is necessary to find out the type and composition of the poison."

"Is there anything I can do?" Rhett asked.

"I'm a forensic scientist, not a virus or chemistry expert.

I can extract tissue cells from the corpse, but I still need to send them to a more professional department for identification. "

Rhett nodded, "Just do your job well, and I'll take care of the rest."

"clear."

Luke said, "Director, I suspect that Tapani Reagan may have accomplices."

Reid said, "It is unlikely that a similar terrorist attack will be committed alone. I understand what you mean. I will promote the identification of this new type of poison as soon as possible to see if I can follow this new type of poison to find Tapa." An associate of Nee Reagan."

With Rhett's guarantee, Luke naturally wouldn't say anything more.

At this time, the outside was in chaos, and a large number of reporters poured into the city hall, wanting to obtain first-hand information about the bombing.

"This group of guys are like vultures waiting for an opportunity. If they don't get the news they want, they will never leave. They may even make things up for the sake of ratings. I'm going to deal with them." He looked at Lu again. Ke glanced, "Do you want to go together?"

"No, I want to take a break." Luke politely declined, because it was hard to boast about himself in front of reporters.

With Reid as a public spokesperson, he will not lose his credit. He has already made a big splash this time, and it is difficult for him not to be noticed.

There is no need to make a bird again.

Reid walked towards the group of reporters and briefly described the circumstances of the bombing, mainly highlighting the contribution of the Robbery and Murder Division, and incidentally mentioned the FBI.

Among them, he also told the truth about Luke's personal arrest of terrorists. It's not convenient for Luke to praise himself, but he can.

Besides, he is Luke's immediate boss, and he is also responsible for this.

Just as Luke guessed, the bombing attack on the Los Angeles city government successfully made headlines on major websites around the world, and many of them mentioned Luke, the brave detective.

Luke's fame has reached another level, and it is no longer limited to Los Angeles.

Although Reid did not explain the details of the arrest, the reporters in the United States are indeed powerful. They have their own means and channels to dig out news.

Among them, most of the coverage was positive, praising the heroism of the LAPD.

But there were also some people who sang a different tune, and even took the injured homeless man as an example.

A reporter named Laura also has a tricky perspective on issues. In her words, the job of the Los Angeles Police Department is to catch criminals, and there is no need to steal jobs from the FBI and Homeland Security.

Anti-terrorism operations are too dangerous for ordinary police officers, and terrorists are full of tricks, and they are likely to take advantage of police officers' loopholes to harm innocent citizens.

Just like in this mission, the terrorist stunned a police officer who arrested him, put on the police uniform, and tricked a homeless man into shooting the real police officer. The police are also responsible for causing homeless people to be wounded by the police.

Reporter Laura also called on the Los Angeles Police Department to stop interfering in anti-terrorism missions and to hand over anti-terrorism work to the FBI and Homeland Security.

As soon as this voice appeared, a group of supporters immediately emerged.

But more netizens still feel that the Los Angeles Police Department has made a contribution this time and protected the city. Laura's point of view is a bit like killing a donkey.

Supporters of two different viewpoints quarreled online.

Robbery and Murder Division 1 Squadron.

News of the bombing of the city hall of Los Angeles swept the Internet.

The robbery and murder department followed suit.

Xiao Hei looked at the comments on the Internet, and was a little complacent at first. As a member of the Robbery and Murder Division, he has his own honor in it.

But looking at it, he felt something was wrong. He said dissatisfied, "Is there something wrong with this group of guys' brains? We have successfully captured the terrorists and successfully evacuated the crowd, but they still find our fault.

It is shameless to bring out the injured police officer and the homeless man. "

The deputy team said, "There is nothing to be angry about. This is America, and there are always people who like to stand up and sing the opposite."

Xiao Hei was a little surprised, "Deputy team, this doesn't seem like your temper."

The old man smiled, "As long as I think that there are still people who think the earth is flat, I can feel relieved."

"When you say it like this, it seems to be true." Xiao Hei felt that his anger had subsided a lot. There will never be a lack of arguing in this world.

Luke didn't take it too seriously, "They can say whatever they want, and we won't lose a hair."

Jackson asked, "Captain, Tapani Reagan is dead, and the clues have been cut off again. Do we need to continue the investigation?"

Luke also thought about this. At the last moment of his confrontation with Tapani Reagan, what Tapani Reagan said made him feel that this matter might not be that simple.

But if the investigation continues, counter-terrorism is indeed not the main job of the Los Angeles Police Department.

"Dong dong..." The office door rang.

Rhett pushed open the door and walked into the office, "Guys, I have two announcements to make."

The deputy team quickly answered, "I don't want to hear bad news."

"There is no bad news, it is all good news. The first news is that the city government has decided to increase the funding of the Los Angeles Police Department by 10% this year compared to last year."

Jackson laughed, "Cool, can we get a raise?"

Jenny said, "You really dare to think about it. I will be very satisfied if I can increase my overtime pay."

The deputy team showed a sneering look, "They cut expenses every year, this year is really rare."

Xiao Hei smiled, and said with a smile, "Does the entire Los Angeles Police Department have to thank us?"

Everyone knew in their hearts that if the police had not informed the city government to evacuate directly, they might have turned into a cloud of dust. The Los Angeles police could save you this time, but they might not save you next time. For their own safety, they would also Have something to say.

Of course, this is also the reason why Frank is actively fighting for it.

Jackson had a little more expectation, "Director, what's the second piece of good news?"

"Everyone has worked hard to arrest terrorists this time, so I decided to give everyone five days of paid leave."

Xiao Hei said, "But the corpse dismemberment case has not been closed yet, and there is also a terrorist attack case. Tapani Reagan probably has accomplices."

Reid said, "I know, but the top of the Department of Homeland Security approached Director Frank, hoping that they would take over the terrorist attack case."

Luke asked, "Frank agreed?"

Reid said, "Why don't you agree? We have made enough credit this time, and the total points will be given to other departments. Besides, it is not our job to arrest terrorists. If we take all the credit Yes, it is tantamount to slapping the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI in the face.

We captured a terrorist and successfully rescued the important officials of the city government. "

The deputy team said, "Although what you said is reasonable, it is not our style to hand over half of the case to other departments."

"I know you may feel a little regretful.

So I will also actively strive for some rewards for everyone. " Rhett reassured.

Xiao Hei asked, "For example?"

"To commemorate the arrest of terrorists, all those who participated in the operation will receive a custom-made pistol.

In addition, those who have outstanding performance in this case may also be awarded medals and promoted to police ranks.

Everyone should have everything. Rhett glanced at Luke, "Luke, what do you think?" "

Luke is still looking forward to the custom-made pistol, and the other is the promotion of the police rank. He is now a second-level police detective, and one level up is a third-level police detective.

Further up is the superintendent.

Although there is no clear benchmark for positions and police ranks.

However, the promotion of some important positions still depends on the rank and qualifications of the police.

Luke is now the captain of the Robbery and Murder Division, and further up is the Deputy Director of the Robbery and Murder Division.

Luke's qualifications are relatively low. If he wants to be promoted to deputy director, it's better to be promoted to superintendent first.

Thinking of this, Luke said, "Director, I obey the arrangement."

"Very good." Reid looked at the deputy team, "Anyone else have any ideas?"

The deputy team waved his hand, "Dude, don't look at me, I don't call other people, and I'm already old, what else can't I think about?"

Rhett smiled awkwardly.

Xiao Hei licked his lips, "Director, is there any bonus?"

Rhett's smile stretched, "There must be."

Xiao Heisong shrugged, "Then I have no objection."

"Okay, the problem is solved." Reid changed the topic, "Guys, you have worked hard, take a good rest for a few days."

Reid waved goodbye to everyone and left the robbery and murder department.

The deputy team snorted, "It seems that those damn media still played a certain role."

Xiao Hei echoed, "I also want to see how much better those guys from the Homeland Security Bureau are than us?"

The deputy team warned, "Don't underestimate them. Those guys do have tricks. I'd rather deal with the FBI than cooperate with them."

Luke doesn't have a deep obsession with the case, especially with the horror. Since he has paid vacation, he can just enjoy it.

Luke returned to the office and briefly tidied up the files of the case. The dismemberment case could not be concluded for the time being. It is estimated that the case will not be completely concluded until the remaining terrorists are arrested.

Luke is also considering whether to take a vacation now, or wait a few days?

When he was about to get off work, his cell phone rang. He took out the cell phone and looked at it. To his surprise, Nami Inoue's cell phone number was displayed on the screen.

Luke pressed the answer button, "Hello, this is Luke."

"Captain Li, I'm Nami Inoue."

"What's matter?"

"Congratulations on catching the fear. I also went to the city hall, but I didn't squeeze in. Although I am very confident in my figure, my physique doesn't have much advantage."

"Thank you, you shouldn't be calling just to congratulate me."

"Yes, I do have something to tell you. I recently found a nice bar. How about buying you a drink after get off work?"

Luke smiled, "That depends on whether it's a business or a private matter."

The other end of the phone was silent for a moment before Nami Inoue said, "This evening, our TV station received another threatening video. I'm not sure if you know it, so I want to tell you the news."

Luke frowned slightly. This kind of thing should not be said on the phone. Of course, it is not ruled out that this woman is afraid that he will refuse and deliberately arouses his interest.

Luke said, "The Los Angeles Police Department is no longer responsible for this terrorist attack."

Nami Inoue said, "Captain Li, it seems that you are not aware of that new threatening video.

Fearful mentioned you in the video. "

Luke is not a troublesome person, nor is he stupid enough to investigate terrorists in private.

But it's a different story if the terrorist mentions him in the threatening video.

After all, he was the one who forced Tappany Reagan to death, and the bombing of the city hall, and Luke is now famous.

Who knows if terrorists will retaliate against him?

Luke looked serious, "Let's have a drink together tonight, I happen to have something private to tell you."
