Chapter Nine Hundred and Ninety-One, the Cake of the Soul

There have been a lot of things in the police station recently, but there are not many urgent cases in the hands of the two.

Dustin has changed from the leader of the serious crime team who was separated from the LAPD to the chief of the police detective bureau at the NYPD headquarters, and the functional requirements for Luke and the two have also undergone subtle changes.

Before he came, the quality of the work of the police department was above the level.

After he came, even if he came with Xiao Gui and Cao Sui, he would still be able to get a pass to good grades.

Now, there are very few cases he directly handed over to Luke.

Because Dustin doesn't need the two of them to have the same high detection rate as before.

According to the cases received by the Police Detective Bureau at the headquarters, it is possible to have 5,000 to 10,000 cases a year.

Luke and the two have solved hundreds of cases in more than a year, which will only increase the detection rate by one or two percentage points, but make them vomit blood tiredly - this is Dustin's own idea.

He would rather Luke and the two choose the cases they are interested in and take up less cases, so that they can take on difficult cases at any time.

Such cases are not necessarily dangerous, but they are certainly troublesome, as happened yesterday with the Soderbergh family.

Before, Luke and the two also dealt with the attack on Walter and provided important information about D'Amico's offline.

Vanguard + Raiders, this is Dustin's new positioning for the two of them.

It is really a waste to spend their energy on endless ordinary criminal cases.

After all, this is New York.

The light was too bright and there was no hard enough backstage. He was afraid that Luke and the two would be targeted.

Deputy Commissioner Brad was able to give up Luke without hesitation, but Dustin was absolutely reluctant.

Therefore, he consciously controlled the number of cases the two received, and even tacitly allowed them to be lazy from time to time.

Going to the police station now, the reason for Luke is just to get acquainted with each other.

People in the same line as John and Joe still have to meet each other every few days and can't play tricks like cloud greetings.

They are all old-fashioned police detectives. If you don't accompany them to speak salaciously, drink small wine, and scold the pig boss, it will be difficult to promote the relationship.

certainly,

Everyone is busy.

Meetings once every three or five days and gatherings once a week or two are considered very diligent. It can be postponed but not missing.

Just arrived at the police station today, Luke took the initiative to greet a few people, and Selena began to take out snacks from the box of the foldable trailer and send them one by one.

Connie, the little blond beauty, was surprised, and took the kraft paper bag from Selena: "Snack? Made it yourself?"

She was not suspicious of Luke, but she was desperate for the tradition of the police station.

Among the front-line police detectives of the police station, there is no one who can make their own snacks and bring them to the police station.

Even if you buy donuts as a treat, it is a box or two, first come first served, never more.

There are nearly 100 "pure rice bucket" detectives in the Police Detective Bureau, and even civil servants with craftsmanship would not dare to publicly give out snacks, because there is no more than 100 copies.

Even if you buy donuts to give away, you will go bankrupt.

Luke didn't care: "It's just cupcakes, Selena just happens to have a big oven."

He wasn't lying.

Now, he makes this kind of snack like washing clothes in a regular washing machine.

The difference is that the washing machine needs to put clothes and laundry detergent, while the smart kitchen utensils put enough raw materials, and then it is a matter of pressing the operation panel a few times.

When the time is up, hundreds of small cakes appear at a time.

Of course, Selena's comment on this "automatic snack" is - Mo Desoul.

She couldn't tell the specific reason, but as long as she took a bite, she could accurately distinguish whether the cake was made by Luke himself or the smart kitchen utensils.

However, this batch of snacks can be used as a snack for a dog at home, or as a small wholesale gift at the police station.

Just one word - easy.

Although there are many people in the police station, only 50-60% of them come to work in the early morning.

Selena's job of distributing snacks is not busy.

Most of them were thrown directly to Connie, so that she could remind the detective who came back to get a snack, as long as it was given by Luke and the two of them.

Only a small part needs to be taken by Luke and Selena in person.

For example, Javier and Ryan, who were yawning all day long, were a little bit in a hurry when they received the cake that Luke threw them.

"It's better to eat something before going to bed after staying up late, otherwise it will be easy to gallstones." He reminded the two: "One portion belongs to your team leader, don't eat it all."

The two smiled bitterly in thanks.

Luke looked at them: "What case do you have to stay up late to do?"

The two looked at each other, hesitated a little, but said, "A female college student was killed. It's a bit strange to die."

Luke: "It has something to do with Miss Lindsay and Monroe?"

The question is obviously a lot easier, Javier replied: "Because Lindsay and the victim often volunteer together, and the female college student and Monroe have intersections."

Luke was stunned: "What's the intersection?"

This question made the two stuck for a while, and Ryan whispered: "It is said that the victim once gave Monroe some psychological counseling or something."

Luke looked at the expressions of the two: "Wouldn't the victim die more bizarrely?"

"Cough cough." A light cough sounded, and the three of them turned their heads.

Javier and Ryan greeted awkwardly: "Beckett, you're back."

Beckett's face was a little tired, and his professional clothes were a little wrinkled. It was obvious that he had worked overtime all night and hadn't gone home to change his clothes.

There was a little water droplets on her face, and she should have just washed her face.

Luke didn't care, grabbed the kraft paper bag in Javier's hand and handed it over: "Cupcakes, everyone has a share."

Javier looked at his empty hands and didn't dare to say a word.

Beckett took the paper bag casually. She had already seen Javier's cake in their hands, and she hadn't forgotten to glance at the table.

Luke shrugged: "I don't deliver coffee, that would be too much trouble."

Ryan was much smarter: "Beckett, I'll go get you a coffee." He dragged Javier away.

It has nothing to do with what the two bosses want to talk about.

Contrary to what Ryan thought, Beckett didn't really care about revealing the case to Luke in private.

Simply put, it's easy to say anything.

If Ryan told John casually about the case, she might not have let him go so easily.

Beckett took out the cake in the paper bag and looked at it. Finally, he couldn't hold back, and he took a bite.

I have to say that even if the automated cake in Selena's mouth has no soul, the neat and beautiful shape will make many obsessive-compulsive patients choose it with a lesser taste.

Luke is not in a hurry. He is very free now, and it is normal to occasionally care about other people's cases.

Most importantly, look at the face!

Just as Beckett liked him, he liked Beckett.

If John hadn't been a living target for him, Luke would not have treated him so well.

Beckett ate the cake and asked, "Where did you buy it? This cake tastes good. I can buy some for breakfast next time."

Luke: "Homemade, if you really want to eat it, you can get it from Connie's. I put a lot of it there."
