Los Angeles Detective

News that the Silver Cloud cruise ship had been hijacked spread through various channels.

Precisely because there are so many channels, there is no unified statement, and there are different opinions on the truth about the cruise hijacking.

There are rumors that the hijacker of the cruise ship was a group of pirates off the coast of Mexico. They bribed the cruise ship's security guards and cooperated with others in an attempt to hijack the cruise ship and kidnap the passengers.

There is also news that the hijacker of the cruise ship is a dangerous terrorist organization.

There are also some threat theories. The mastermind behind the hijacking of the cruise ship is a certain big country, which wants to force the United States to make some concessions.

An even more outrageous rumor was that the hijackers of the cruise ship were aliens, with the purpose of capturing the passengers on the cruise ship for human biological experiments. The FBI and the Navy SEALs defeated the aliens only after a joint operation.

Each of the above theories sounds more outrageous than the last, but each theory has its own supporters. Among them, the theory of alien abduction, which seems to be the least reasonable, is the most discussed, and a group of people firmly believe in it.

On the morning of October 28th.

With everyone's expectations, the Silver Cloud cruise ship sailed into the port.

The pier was crowded with people, almost all of whom came to greet the passengers of the hijacked cruise ship.

Many of these people are family members and friends of cruise passengers, waiting at the port early in the morning out of concern for their families.

There are also some enthusiastic citizens who come out of sympathy or curiosity for the hijacked passengers.

There were many people in FBI uniforms standing at the front of the pier, maintaining order while looking into the distance.

In response to everyone's expectations, a tall cruise ship came from a distance. From far to near, the speed also slowed down, and the characters "Silver Cloud" printed on the cruise ship could be vaguely seen.

There was a black-haired man standing on the bow of the cruise ship, it was Luke.

Inoue Nami walked over and looked at the crowd standing on the pier. She could faintly hear shouts and shouts. A smile appeared on her pretty face. "I'm finally back. This cruise trip is really exciting."

Luke smiled and said, "Will you take a cruise next time you go on vacation?"

Inoue Nami thought about it seriously, "It probably won't happen in the near future. Who knows what will happen in the future?"

Luke asked, "Has the news interview video been sent to the TV station?"

"Of course, everything has been taken care of." Nami Inoue smiled and continued, "The director and I made an appointment that as soon as the cruise ship lands at the dock, news interviews about the hijacking of the cruise ship will be broadcast. This time period is the most appropriate. It is also the moment when the news is most popular.

I believe that the news interview will be very exciting after it is broadcast, especially the scene of you shooting the robber in the cruise ship restaurant, which is simply more exciting than the blockbuster movie. "

Luke was a little looking forward to it, but also a little worried. He didn't know what specific impact this news would have.

Of course, it is foreseeable that after the news is broadcast, his popularity will definitely rise to a higher level. In the past, he was only slightly famous in Los Angeles, but now the entire United States will know that there is a person like him.

As for how much actual benefits this fame can translate into, it is still unclear.

But at least for now, it seems that it has no negative impact on him.

"Woooo..." The cruise ship honked for a long time and slowly docked towards the pier.

The crowds on the dock cheered one after another, and Luke could even see the enthusiastic smiling faces of the people.

Smiles are contagious, and Luke couldn't help but smile.

In the crowd, Luke found several familiar figures. The leader was a middle-aged white woman with long hair, a popular face, and a black professional attire. She was the deputy director of the FBI's Los Angeles office, counter-terrorism department. Lynne Blois, the minister, is also Luke's nominal boss.

Luke had collaborated with her several times before and was considered an acquaintance.

Because of their cooperation, Luke was no stranger to other agents from the Counter-Terrorism Department. Some of them had good relationships and had drinks together.

By this time, the passengers had rushed to the deck with their luggage, and SEAL team members were maintaining order on the deck.

The cruise ship lowered the escalator, and Luke was the first to step off the cruise ship.

Lynne Blois came up to him, shook Luke's hand and said, "Man, welcome to officially join the FBI Counterterrorism Division."

Luke smiled, "Are you surprised? Me too."

Lynne Blois shrugged, "It should be said that it was a surprise. You have already made a meritorious service before it was officially reported. It is perfect for such a talent to come to the Counter-Terrorism Department."

Luke teased, "Honestly, do you feel any pressure from my arrival?"

Lynne Blois gestured with her right index finger and thumb, "Just a little bit."

Luke smiled, "Man, keep it in your heart. My focus is still on the Robbery and Murder Department, and I have no intention of replacing you."

"Then why did you parachute into the Counterterrorism Department? I didn't even get a hint."

Luke spread his hands and said, "It was Director Ayesha Gard's decision. Maybe she thought it would be more appropriate to handle this case as the Counterterrorism Department."

"In any case, it is a pleasure for you to join the Counter-Terrorism Department." Lynne Blois forced a smile, but it was not as relaxed as she appeared.

When she suddenly received the news that Luke would be transferred to the Counter-Terrorism Department as deputy minister, she felt a little guilty in her heart. Luke's identity was special and his abilities were outstanding, which gave her a sense of crisis.

Now hearing Luke's words, she breathed a sigh of relief. Since Luke had no intention of replacing her, Luke's threat had been reduced by more than half, but she was not completely relaxed either.

Luke's position was directly assigned by Director Garde. Does it mean that the director is dissatisfied with his recent work? Let Luke beat himself up? Or I was overthinking it, it was just a temporary transfer.

However, that old lady is not a fuel-efficient lamp, so I have to be careful in the near future.

FBI senior agent Armand Haines came over and shook hands with Luke, "Counsellor Li, we can work together again. No, I should call you Minister Li now."

"Haha, it's the same name no matter what." Luke patted Armand Haines on the shoulder. When he was working with the Counter-Terrorism Department, Armand Haines had been helping him, and asked, "The cruise robbers are in Los Angeles. How's the offline check going?"

Armand Haines replied, "Those people are responsible for selling stolen drugs. They have been placed under surveillance and can be arrested at any time."

Luke asked, "How is the investigation of the shooter?"

Armand Haines said, "His background is relatively complicated. It should not be related to the trafficking and sale of drugs. He should be involved in other cases."

Luke nodded and introduced the situation of Hamadi Xiao and the gunman.

"This friend of yours wants to acquire a port in Los Angeles?" Lynne Blois frowned slightly and asked, "It won't be the current port, right?"

"Yes, this is it."

Lynne Blois said, “I also heard some news that there are problems with the operation of this port, and the smuggling phenomenon is serious, involving disputes between several local gangs.

It is difficult to deal with local forces, let alone outsiders. "

Luke smiled and said, "That's why he needs our FBI's friendship. Are you interested?"

Previously, Luke’s agreement with Hamadi Shaw was to send him safely to Los Angeles.

Before the cruise ship arrived, Hamadi Xiao found Luke and asked Luke to continue investigating the gunman who attacked him and find the person who hired the killer behind the scenes. This person poses a greater threat to him. As long as the other party is not found, the other party may attack again. Send out the killer.

Hamadi Shaw also hopes that Luke can continue to ensure his safety in Los Angeles, and is willing to pay a large consulting fee to ensure that the acquisition of the port proceeds smoothly.

Luke thought about it carefully. The interests involved in port freight were huge. If something went wrong, it would be no small matter. It would be difficult for him to handle it alone. At that time, he would definitely need to rely on the help of the FBI or the police.

Rather than looking for help temporarily, it is better to bring in people from the FBI now. The port involves global cargo transportation, so it is more appropriate and has greater authority for the FBI's Counterterrorism Department to join.

Moreover, Luke is not short of money now, so there is no need to eat alone. If he brings more people in, the bigger the stall is and the bigger the network of connections is, the more stable his position will be.

With the support of the FBI's Counterterrorism Division, Luke can obtain a stable income without taking too much risk, which can be regarded as a benefit he brings to his new colleagues in the FBI's Counterterrorism Division.

Lynne Blois thought for a while and said, "The port involves the interests of all parties, and gangs often fight over it. It is related to the stability of the entire Los Angeles, so we really need to pay closer attention.

I think we can talk about it. "

Luke said, “Then find out who is behind the hired gunmen as soon as possible and let Hamadi Xiao see our strength.

I believe that a person like him who runs a big business will not skimp on security consulting fees. "

The three of them smiled and began to discuss the next plan.

Luke and Hamadi Shaw, Lynne Blois was responsible for the endorsement, and Armand Haines was the specific implementer of the plan.

As Luke said, as long as Hamadi Shaw can successfully acquire the port, it will be a long-term investment that will be beneficial to everyone.

At this time, the entire Los Angeles port was bustling with activity. Passengers stepped off the cruise ship to reunite with their families and friends. Everyone hugged and greeted each other, creating a joyful scene.

Many media who came after hearing the news also took photos of this touching scene.

At the same time, Inoue Nami's interview news was also officially broadcast on CBS TV. Inoue Nami was at the scene when the robbery occurred. She took many precious and thrilling pictures with her mobile phone, such as Luke killing the robber in the restaurant, and the SEAL attack The team fights against fellow robbers at sea, and Luke gives a speech on the deck.

Nami Inoue also interviewed many cruise passengers and described the thrilling scenes from their mouths. Many of the passengers expressed praise and gratitude to Luke.

After Nami Inoue's news was broadcast, the cruise hijacking incident once again reached a climax. News media around the world reported the incident, and Luke's heroic deeds became a topic of conversation after dinner.

For a time, Luke became what people call a hero in Los Angeles.
