Is Chapter 7 really a talented individual?
"Clang!"
Marcus dropped his mug on the table, spilling coffee all over it.
The officer next to him hurriedly grabbed some tissues to wipe it up, while everyone else in the conference room stared incredulously at the officer who had delivered the message.
What the hell? We're having a meeting... and they've already caught them?
Has the murderer had a change of heart and turned himself in?
Everyone looked up, staring at each other, completely bewildered.
I was prepared to work until dawn, but now I can go home?
"What happened? Tell me quickly!" Marcus stood up urgently and asked.
The officer, catching his breath and supporting his knees, said, "It was...it was patrol officer Mike Mallory from the patrol unit and an Asian auxiliary officer who caught them!"
"Mike Mallory..."
Marcus was taken aback, and an image of a gaunt, shoehorn-shaped face immediately flashed into his mind.
That old white male patrolman? The lazy bum who spends all his time slacking off, stealing coffee powder from the station, and making a quick buck on the street?
During the last department meeting, this old guy even stole a pack of cigarettes from me.
Strangely, some leaders in the city bureau and even Sacramento were quite polite to him, suggesting he might have some connections.
He automatically ignored the second half of the sentence, "and an Asian auxiliary police officer".
How capable can Asians be? They're American parasites, at best they can only drive for Mike.
Thinking of this, Marcus looked guiltily at Director Gu in the main seat, not daring to say these words aloud.
Sure enough, upon hearing the name "Mike," Gu Qiu, who had been looking down at the documents, looked up, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.
It seems Mike really has some skills; he actually managed to catch the person.
Director Gu put down his water glass and stared at the police officer who had brought the news:
"What's the name of that Asian auxiliary police officer?"
Everyone was puzzled and looked at Director Gu.
Mike caught the guy, so why are you asking an Asian auxiliary police officer? The credit doesn't belong to the auxiliary police officer at all.
"His name seems to be... Lu Yiming? A community service officer from the patrol station."
Upon hearing the name "Lu Yiming," the male police officers present raised their eyebrows slightly.
They knew this person; they were classmates at police academy.
At first, they all looked down on him because he was Asian, but they couldn't resist his charm.
She gets along well with all the male classmates.
Several female police officers simultaneously clicked their tongues.
They knew this person too; he was a classmate from the same year. He was physically weak and a womanizer.
A policewoman whispered to Mia, the short-haired policewoman who had just given her report, "Sister, do you know this Asian auxiliary police officer?"
The blonde, capable-looking Mia snorted:
"I wouldn't say we know each other, we're enemies. That guy takes advantage of his good looks, flirting with girls everywhere in school and even two-timing them!"
"His physical condition is terrible, I heard he's very weak, probably has some kidney problems... he's not doing well..."
"Oh, right... I heard he also hits women!"
The veteran officers present all assumed that Mike was the one who did it, and no one believed that this young Asian auxiliary police officer could have any effect.
A young police officer couldn't help but ask in a low voice:
"Boss...we've caught him, are we still working overtime?"
Marcus rubbed his temples and looked at Director Gu.
Director Gu waved his hand: "Leave one team behind to take the suspect to give a statement and verify the chain of evidence. The rest of you, go home."
"Great! I can finally go home and sleep!"
A cheer erupted in the conference room.
The subway corpse piecing case forced them to work overtime for a week straight, leaving them physically and mentally exhausted. They thought they would have to work all night again tonight, but things took an unexpected turn for the better.
"Marcus, you should go back and rest too. I'll oversee the interrogation," Director Gu said.
Marcus didn't hold back and immediately led his team to disband.
As soon as the group of dozens of people walked out of the city police station, they saw a police car drive in.
The car door opened, and Mike and Lu Yiming got out.
Lu Yiming was holding Latoya's arm, which was handcuffed behind her back.
As soon as I got out of the car, I saw a large group of police officers standing at the entrance, which warmed my heart.
Is this the kind of welcoming ceremony for meritorious officials?
Ugh, it's kind of embarrassing.
He subconsciously smoothed his hair, preparing for the applause.
"Mike, are you close to the head of the homicide squad?" Lu Yiming asked in a low voice.
"Not really, we've only met once," Mike said casually, a cigarette dangling from his lips.
Not familiar with them? Then this entourage...
Marcus greeted them with a broad smile.
But he bypassed Lu Yiming and excitedly reached out to shake Mike's hands.
"Mike! Long time no see, you old codger!"
"You have no idea how much trouble you solved for us this time! The director is very satisfied!"
"Tsk tsk, it's all for making America great again!"
Mike responded warmly, and the two shook hands, acting as affectionately as long-lost brothers.
Lu Yiming swallowed awkwardly. "Wait, aren't you guys not familiar with each other?"
Latoya was taken over by other officers. Lu Yiming was not a formal police officer and was not qualified to participate in the subsequent interrogation.
However, this does not diminish his contribution.
At this moment, the male police officers raised their eyebrows at Lu Yiming.
Before Lu Yiming could respond, the female police officers made a snickering sound again.
Lu Yiming smiled bitterly to himself: Isn't it just some trivial matter from college? Can't the misunderstanding be explained away?
Wait, something's not right.
Shouldn't this be a welcome to me, the hero?
Marcus patted Mike on the shoulder and said loudly:
"Mike, you deserve the most credit this time! Chief Gu is very satisfied with how quickly you solved the case!"
Upon hearing this, Mike immediately waved his hand, grabbed Lu Yiming who was next to him, and pushed him in front of everyone.
"Tsk, Marcus, it's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding!"
"This was all thanks to this kid. I was just the driver the whole time and didn't even show my face."
"what?"
The young officers around him were in an uproar, clearly shocked by the news.
How could Lu Yiming, that physically weak and pretty boy, actually catch a serial killer?
As his classmates at the police academy all know, Lu Yiming failed all the physical fitness tests back then.
He couldn't do more than a few pull-ups, and a three-mile run would kill him.
They even climbed over the wall to go to a bar together, but this guy couldn't get over and was caught red-handed by the instructor, so he had to clean the toilets for a month.
After graduation, he didn't even manage to get a proper police badge.
With that kind of physical condition, let alone catching a murderer, he'd be out of breath just jumping around.
All eyes immediately focused on Lu Yiming.
Lu Yiming's face was still injured, and with so many people staring at him, his cheeks were slightly flushed, making him look a little flustered.
Marcus looked him up and down for a second, then gave him a meaningful look and patted Mike on the shoulder.
"I understand, I understand."
Marcus thought he knew exactly what was going on: This kid must have given Mike a lot of money. This old white guy just loves money; he probably wanted to buy his way into a promotion.
He didn't like or care about these complicated details, so he just turned a blind eye.
He symbolically patted Lu Yiming on the shoulder:
"That's right, little guy. You should focus your energy on the right things and not get involved in those crooked ways."
Lu Yiming was stunned. Had his crooked ways been discovered?
How did you know I have a chat group for criminals?
Just then, Latoya, who was being escorted, suddenly struggled and screamed:
"I want to file a complaint! That auxiliary police officer tried to kill me! He was using excessive force!"
Upon hearing this, the entire room fell silent, and all eyes once again focused on Lu Yiming.
Mike immediately stepped in to smooth things over, saying with a smile:
"She resisted arrest, but young people are stronger, that's to be expected."
Mia, who was standing nearby, immediately whispered to her friend, "See! I told you he hit a woman..."
The male classmates who were familiar with Lu Yiming were completely dumbfounded.
Holy crap? Lu Yiming can not only arrest people, but he can also fight?
Several classmates secretly gave him a thumbs up. He's truly impressive; one should look at someone with new respect after three years apart.
He really was the one who arrested this person.
A serial killer, huh? That's enough to earn you a commendation medal from the bureau chief, right? We're just graduates, still coasting along.
And you, a mere auxiliary police officer, come up here and immediately do something huge?
Marcus was also taken aback for a moment, and then re-examined Lu Yiming.
Did I... misunderstand?
It was only then that he remembered that this same Asian auxiliary police officer had also discovered the serial murder case.
This kid... he actually has some skills? Not just a pretty face?
We need to transfer him to our group; it's such a waste to use someone like him for street patrols.
He looked at Lu Yiming's chest, which he was clutching, and asked with concern, "Are you injured? We need to go see you. Well done, kid."
"Mia!" Marcus shouted.
Mia, who was still chatting with her girlfriends about Lu Yiming, immediately stepped forward:
"Here! Sir, what's up?"
"Take this young man to the hospital for a checkup. He's the hero of the night."
Mia looked reluctant. "Sir, does it have to be me? Can't we have someone else..."
"That's an order, Mia. Hurry up."
"……yes!"
In the end, Mia gritted her teeth and came over.
"Let's go, hero."
Before Lu Yiming could even greet him, Marcus called out from behind, "Please, Mia, help him up! Can't you see he's injured?"
Mia gritted her teeth in resentment and grabbed Lu Yiming's arm...
