Chapter 262 Training Rookies
Bobby nodded.
Luke said, “That’s all for now. Contact me if there’s anything else. Your salary will be transferred to your account regularly.”
Bobby felt slightly guilty.
He didn’t think that his recent work was worth an annual salary of a hundred thousand dollars.
Luke stopped talking and told Bobby to contact Jenny.
By involving both Bobby and Jenny in the negotiation, he was hoping that they could both help and restrain each other.
Also, he couldn’t let Bobby get away, or the man might go and harass Sheerah again.
More importantly, Luke coveted Bobby’s mental communication ability, and he would have to waste time looking for Bobby if the man disappeared again.
He wasn’t scared of Bullseye discovering him through this corporation.
The corporation wasn’t directly registered under Luke or Selina, but through an offshore company.
It wouldn’t be hard for the FBI or IRS to discover that Luke controlled the company, but hoodlums like Bullseye certainly wouldn’t find
it easy.
Luke wasn’t doing this to evade tax, but purely to avoid trouble.
On the eighth day after Damon dropped by, Luke and Selina went back to work.
Neither of them had been idle during the past week.
In addition to their own training, they had to groom the two rookies that had just been transferred to Elsa’s team.
The two rookies were Billy Walter, a young black man, and Elizabeth Parker, a white female.
Elsa sent them to learn under Luke and Selina.
Different from other seasoned detectives, Luke didn’t keep the tricks of investigation to himself.
He didn’t act like a superior, since Elsa was the rookies’ boss and not him. He was just a tutor for the two new detectives.
He conversed with the two rookies mainly at the police department.
He didn’t do anything for them, but only pointed out to the rookies the best way of doing things at the right moment.

As for the legwork, the rookies had to do it themselves, and Luke didn’t step in.
The two rookies respected Luke.
When they transferred to the department, Elsa had related Luke’s achievements to them.
In the recent tragedy where a SWAT squad was annihilated, Luke was the only person to survive after fighting the mysterious shooter.
Elsa’s reason for telling them this was simple, and that was to curb the rookies’ arrogance.
Watching Luke and Selina’s shooting training was an eye-opener for the rookies.
Selina was only twenty-four and a woman, but she was one of the best shooters in the Major Crimes Division.
Nothing needed to be said about Luke. When he was practicing quick draw, two targets ten meters away were hit almost simultaneously.
They could completely imagine that they wouldn’t survive one second if they encountered a shooter as skilled as Luke.
Elizabeth even declared admiringly that Luke had to be the fastest man in the world.
Luke quickly refused the title. “You should say that to Bob Munden. I’m not as fast as he is.”
Elizabeth asked, “Who’s that?”
Luke said, “He holds the world record for quick draw at 0.0175 seconds. He’s in his fifties, but he’s still young!”
Elizabeth was lost for words.
Elsa’s burden was reduced now that Luke was helping to train the rookies.
This week wasn’t as tiresome as she had thought it would be.
When Luke and Selina returned to work, they didn’t feel like they were coming back from a vacation since they had still been coming to the police department every day for the past week.
Taking a new case from Elsa, they studied it at their desks.
Luke’s expression was complicated when he read the case file.
He wondered if the perpetrators were Damon and Mindy.

Eight drug dealers in his district had been killed in a house last night. Two of them were shot, and six were killed with a blade.
While Elizabeth and her partner had taken the case, they were actually only going to be helping Luke and Selina out and learn from them.
Pondering for a moment, Luke told Selina that they would be checking the crime scene.
It was a decrepit building in a terrible neighborhood.
Even before Luke entered, his Sharp Nose told him that his guess was correct.
This was indeed Damon and Mindy’s handiwork.
But why did you have to do it in my district? Luke felt complicated.
He went into the house and saw blood everywhere on the walls and the furniture. Remembering Mindy and her unique long saber, it wasn’t hard for Luke to picture the battle in his head.
As for the two men who were shot, Luke could easily tell that it was Damon who had done it from outside the building as cover for Mindy.
After figuring it out, Luke immediately lost interest.
Could he really catch Damon and Mindy?
They were doing exactly the same as Luke when he went out as a vigilante; it was just that they were more blatant about it.
Hm, he should remind them to keep a low profile later.
It would be more convenient for the police if they had made the scene look like the drug dealers had killed each other.
When the investigation was over, Elizabeth asked, “Luke, what do you think of the case?”
Luke said solemnly, “It’s probably a gang conflict. If you want to look into it, you can follow up on the case for a few days, but drop it if you don’t find any leads.”
Elizabeth knew that Luke was implying that he wasn’t hopeful about the case.
She and her partner had quite a few cases on hand. Now that Luke expressed his lack of interest in this case, they weren’t really motivated to pursue it further.
After they left, Luke thought for a moment, then sent Damon a message to pick up his equipment tonight.
