In mid-June, the average temperature in Los Angeles is between 17 degrees and 27 degrees, which is neither cold nor hot, so it is very suitable for fun.

In the morning, the breeze blows.

Ruidu Community is full of green grass, with birds singing and flowers fragrant.

Many residents came out for walks and exercise.

Luke had a day off today and was still sleeping in bed. The sun was shining into the bedroom and he still didn't wake up.

A familiar voice rang in his ears, [Congratulations to the host for catching Angela’s murderer, Karov.

Arrested Darcy's murderer Naris Kasili, and successfully detected the 'Holy Blood' case.

Forty lucky draw opportunities will be awarded.]

Luke was awakened by the sound of the system, and slowly opened his eyes. As soon as he got up, he could hear the sound of system rewards, which may indicate that today is a good day.

Forty lottery opportunities were not too few, so Luke didn’t keep them and just took the lottery.

Five cards were drawn, worth 35,000 US dollars.

Among them, three old cards and two new cards were drawn.

The three old cards are: micro-expression analysis card, 1

Precision card, 1 piece

Profile card, 1 piece

New card, lock-picking card, 2 cards [can quickly learn lock-picking skills, time limit is 3 hours]

This card may not be useful to ordinary people, but it is still useful to the police.

Last time Luke and Xiao Hei went to August's house to investigate. Although the two of them had a search warrant, there was no one in August's house. Xiao Hei knew how to unlock the door, so the two of them opened the door and went in to search.

Afterwards, Luke also asked why Xiao Hei unlocked the door.

In his words, many children who grew up in slums know how to pick locks, which is nothing unusual.

After breakfast, he began to study lockpicking skills.

I searched online and couldn't find any technical lock-picking techniques.

Think about it, this kind of technology is usually passed down by word of mouth, it is more practical, and it is impossible to put it on the Internet.

Luke didn't bother anymore and thought about letting Xiao Hei teach him some other time. Why not use it if there was a ready-made master?

Later, Luke began to learn another skill-lip reading.

Lip reading is a relatively special skill that usually doesn't seem to be of much use, but once you use it, it's a magic trick.

Luke found a lot of lip language learning tutorials on the paid Internet, including texts and videos. With the help of lip language cards, he learned quickly and got twice the result with half the effort.

As his position becomes higher, Luke also wants to learn more skills to enhance his abilities.

Luke got into a selfless state while studying. He didn't even bother to eat lunch and used both lip reading cards.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, I basically mastered the lip reading skills.

Luke turned on the TV, found a news program at random, turned down the volume and watched it once. He could basically understand the meaning of a whole sentence by just looking at the speaker's mouth shape.

Later, Luke turned up the TV volume and played it again, and the general meaning was basically the same.

Luke was very satisfied with how much he could learn in one day.

"Gulu."

His stomach growled, and he was so hungry that his chest pressed against his back.

In the evening, I made an appointment with Daisy to have dinner together.

He was going to the supermarket to buy some ingredients for the evening.

There was a new supermarket nearby and there was an event. He wanted to go there to buy some, and the prices were even better.

This supermarket is not far from Ruidu Community, only a few minutes' drive away. It is very convenient to drive here for shopping.

Of course, compared to China, shopping in the United States is still a bit of a hassle.

A medium-sized community in China has thousands of households and tens of thousands of residents.

If the population lives densely, the shops will be denser, making shopping more convenient.

Americans generally drive to the supermarket to buy food for a week at a time.

Luke parked the car and entered the supermarket.

The supermarket was quite large and divided into several areas. He pushed the trolley around the supermarket.

First, Luke picked out the ingredients for tonight, a lamb chop, a steak, ten oysters, half-finished frozen pizza, and some vegetables.

Daisy likes steak, Luke prefers lamb chops.

As for Chinese food, it's okay for Daisy to eat it once in a while, but if she eats it every day, she's not used to it at all.

Luke was pushing the trolley around the supermarket, and he always felt like someone was staring at him.

He didn't find anyone suspicious, it was just his instinct from many years as a police officer.

Luke didn't show anything unusual. After buying what he needed, he checked out and left.

"call……"

After Luke left the supermarket, a white man hiding behind the shelves called out.

It seemed like he was relieved, but also like he was a little disappointed.

A black man wearing a supervisor's uniform came over and asked, "Val, why are you lazy here again? With your working status and efficiency, there is no way you can pass the probation period."

The white man quickly explained, "Sorry, I'm not being lazy, I just saw someone...an acquaintance."

The black supervisor frowned and became even more angry, "What do you mean?

Why should you hide when you see an acquaintance?

Are you looking down on your job?

You are working with your own hands, why are you embarrassed?

Do you think working in a supermarket is embarrassing?

If that's what you think, you can leave now."

Val was a little embarrassed and shook his head, "No, that's not what I meant. It's just that I haven't gotten used to it for a while."

The black supervisor pointed to his chest and said, "Val, it was you who begged me, saying how much you needed this job and promising to do a good job.

I just gave you this job opportunity, and I hope you won’t betray my trust.”

"Don't worry, I won't do it." Val pursed his lips, pushed the cart next to him, and began to sort out the goods.

Luke stood behind a shelf not far away, taking in all of this.

How could Val's tracking skills be hidden from him? Although he knew someone was following him, he didn't know it was Val.

Seeing Val's overalls and being scolded by his leader, Luke immediately understood everything.

However, he had no intention of going out. It would be more embarrassing to go out to Val at this time.

Luke could also guess why Val was avoiding him. Although his uncle was not successful, he was a man who wanted to save face.

Val's dream since childhood was to become a singer. He even formed a band in high school and became famous in school.

Perhaps it was his high-spiritedness in high school that made him more determined to dream of music. However, reality is always cruel.

When he went to college, the band Val was in broke up.

He has been looking forward to re-forming the band and continuing the glory of his high school days.

However, due to various practical reasons, this dream could not be realized.

As a result, he is now somewhat unable to achieve high standards and low standards.

I don’t have the ability to be a singer, and I don’t have the skills to find other jobs.

He can only engage in relatively low-end occupations, but he has a strong self-esteem and always feels that he can't lose face.

Deep down in his heart, he still regards himself as a singer, and the gap between expectations and reality makes his life become more and more distorted.

He has become a fat house in the eyes of his family and a loser in the eyes of his friends.

In order to get a few hundred yuan of pocket money, I would go to my dad or my sister, it was a common thing.

Now he is eyeing his rich nephew again. Val also wants to save face. He doesn't want to do this, let alone let his two nephews look down on him.

He wanted to change and be self-reliant, which was why he went to work in the supermarket.

Although he is not very successful, he is already on the road of hard work...

…

Daisy's house.

In the afternoon, after seeing what happened to his uncle, Luke felt a little stuck in his heart.
To be continued...
