Luke's annual salary of 42,000 from Houston has become 54,000 now.

Selena rose from 47,000 to her early 60,000s, but the increase in her salary was not enough to offset the increase in living expenses.

Of course, if the two of them work for a few years, they can get an annual salary of more than 80,000 yuan, and then they will have more money at hand.

But before that, the two may only be supported by the 50,000 US dollar settling-in fee.

Selena was so frustrated because she had left all of her settling-in money at home.

Luke didn't have a problem with that.

Although Selena looks very independent and independent, she still cares about her family, and when it comes to money, most Americans are different, she is willing to pay for her family, which is also her freedom.

Luke didn't think it was strange, in his previous life, he was Chinese, and it was not unusual for parents and children to help each other and go bankrupt.

His 50,000 dollars were mentioned to Catherine, and she didn't want it.

Robert even took the phone and told him to get out of here, and if he had money, he would take the flowers himself.

After all, Robert also has a salary of more than 50,000 yuan a year, plus Catherine's salary of more than 30,000 years, and Luke comes out to work again, reducing their expenses by at least a few thousand dollars a year, and the pressure on the two is not great.

Before Luke said that he was going to college, Robert still had more than 20,000 US dollars in saving, and he was going to pay for his college tuition, but now of course, the money was left to Claire, a sophomore in high school.

So, now Robert and Catherine are not short of money.

After a good rest for a long time, the two went to the Western District Police Station the next day and officially went to work.

In the face of the two, the attitude of the leader of the serious crime team, Dustin Hammer, was lukewarm, which made both of them breathe a sigh of relief in their hearts.

As long as it's not like Burrick's disgusting nature.

The two finally did not continue to be partners this time, but were each assigned to work with another old police detective.

And that's right.

After the events of Peric, Luke found himself thinking that something was wrong.

That is, although the two are partnered, he can take the lead in the case, but it will cause the dissatisfaction of the team leader.

In Houston, except for the three big cases that happened by chance, he didn't solve many cases for more than a month, so the harvest was actually a bit low.

So, he and Selena made a decision.

The two of them each followed an old detective to speed up their familiarization with the environment here, and after a while, he applied to transfer the two back together.

At that time, the two of them will be more familiar with the environment here, and they will also have their own intelligence sources in their hands, and they will no longer be afraid that the new team leader will be the same as Perrick, and they will be inexperienced and unconnected.

Although this transfer may not be easy, Luke can find a way.

Selena is paired with a black police detective named Donald Dark, and Luke is paired with a middle-aged Latina woman named Elsa Torres.

The Los Angeles Police Department has the largest number of female police officers in the United States, about 20 percent.

Second, there are more than 30 percent of Hispanic police officers here.

Selena's arrival has undoubtedly added a little bit to these two statistics, and it is not surprising that Luke has been assigned a Latina woman as a partner.

Looking at Luke, Elsa was a little curious: "Let's go, I still have two cases in my hands." You're okay, right? Do you need me to give you a holiday? ”

Luke smiled, "Oh, Elsa, I actually enjoy working. ”

Elsa pouted: ", no one likes to work." At least not many people in the Serious Crime Team like it. ”

Luke smiled and nodded: "Well, then you just came here and want to show the right work attitude." ”

Elsa was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "Well, that's fine." ”

Getting in the car, Elsa drove the car out.

In this sense, this is a very strong woman, and she doesn't even want to give the steering wheel to Luke.

However, in the serious crime team, it is difficult for a woman with a weaker personality to stay.

Luke casually asked, "What case are we going to investigate?" ”

Elsa: "A troublesome case, do you know about Winterst Katie?" ”

Luke thought for a moment and shook his head: "It's a little familiar, I can't remember it." ”

Elsa glanced at him, "You really don't know?" ”

Luke: "Famous? Male or female? ”

Elsa: "...... A female star who has only become popular in the past two years is only twenty-one years old this year. He entered the industry at the age of sixteen, and at the age of nineteen, he acted in the movie "Don't Move" by the great director Pei De, and became famous. ”

Luke: "Oh, I really don't know. It's just familiar, maybe I've accidentally seen her name on the news. ”

Elsa hehe: "She has a good figure, and Kenlu, you haven't seen her movie?" ”

Luke shrugged: "I like to watch movies and TV shows with big special effects and big scenes, like Star Wars or Brothers in Arms. The kind you are talking about should be a literary film, right? I don't look at it much. ”

Elsa sighed, and accepted the answer.

"She's been in a little trouble lately, and yesterday someone died in her house, but she said she didn't know the person at all. Now, I'm going to go back to her house and ask about the situation. Elsa said.

Luke: "What about the deceased?" ”

"Anonymous. There was no identification, no dentist records, no fingerprint or DNA bank. Young Caucasian male, twenty-five to twenty-seven years old, 1.75 meters tall and weighing more than 220 pounds. Oh, and by the way, his body was floating naked in the pool of Miss Katie's house, only to be found the next morning by the cleaning nanny, who called the police. Elsa said a lot of information out.

Luke listened attentively, and was surprised after listening: "One meter seventy-five, two hundred and twenty pounds? Is this a big fat man? ”

Elsa nodded: "So, apart from the inner ghost, I can't think of the possibility that this person died there quietly." The security at Miss Katie's house was okay, not a place where a fat two-hundred-pound man could come and go casually. ”

Luke was also surprised by this.

It is inconvenient for a fat man of more than 200 pounds to move, let alone run into the home of a female star.

These rich people basically have electronic security systems at home, and after they are touched, someone will check them, and they are not professionals, so it is not so easy to sneak in.

As the two spoke, they had already driven the car to Beverly Hills.

Luke wondered: "Cady lives here, she's rich?" Hasn't she been popular for a few years? ”

Elsa shrugged: "She lives here, how to make money, how much money to make, that's what the IRS (Internal Revenue Service) cares about." ”

Luke asked casually, and changed the topic when he heard this: "Did you find any clues in the previous investigation?" ”

Elsa shook her head: "This big star has a big shelf, and a lawyer was present yesterday." If it weren't for the human life lawsuit, she would have directly asked the nanny to let us get out. ”
