Chapter 0009 Newcomer's Golden Phrase, Is It Biological?
If it is a human act, he must solve the case as soon as possible
Racing along the way, the police car arrived at the Knox Police Station in less than an hour
The verbal sparring between the two ends here, as there is a multitude of tasks to attend to today
However, the piece is unexpectedly pleasant to listen to
Who made him capable! Well, in fact, this guy is the only official forensic expert in Knox City
Catherine hurriedly walked out and asked, "Aren't you coming back for lunch?"
The police car sped swiftly towards Knox
However, the forensic department is not located within the police station, but rather in a four-story building next door
Luke: ...? ... Can I say that this is the most commonly used new phrase in officialdom literature that I have read in my previous life?
After finishing his toast and drinking his milk, Robert stood up and urged Luke. Luke quickly finished his milk, took the half-eaten toast, and went out
Luke: (⊙⊙?)
Moreover, the Shackleford Town Police Department is not under the jurisdiction of the city police, nor is it under the county police; rather, it is directly accountable to the townspeople, and the salaries of the officers in the town are allocated by the town's administrative system
The middle-aged man clicked his tongue in amazement: "Heh, on the first day of work, he brought me here. Are you sure he is his biological father?"
Robert: "My child, Luke. He is also a police officer, and today is his first day on the job. Mars, can you please start quickly?"
Robert, however, was no longer impatient; he knew the temperament of the person before him, who would never be hurried, no matter what.
As for whether this is because the Knox police also do not want a morgue in the basement, it remains unknown
Observing two men, one with a dark expression and the other laughing heartily as they got into the car, Catherine revealed a smile on her face
He habitually picked at the details, saying: "So what you mean is, as long as I get through today, I can be late?"
The jurisdiction of village and town police stations is limited, and matters that fall outside their purview are handled by the county sheriff. If the county sheriff also does not address the issue, it then falls under the jurisdiction of the state police
It has been several years since a murder occurred in the town, especially since the deceased is the daughter of a resident of this town, which makes it even more imperative not to let our guard down
It is a violin piece, but Luke cannot tell which one it is; he has little interest in this matter.
Having reported his name and position, Robert, accompanied by Luke, found Room 3 following the guidance of the receptionist.
The small town does not have a forensic pathologist, so any autopsy must be sent to the Knox forensic department
The toast that Robert mentioned nearly made him spit it out; he coughed several times and barely managed to swallow a mouthful of milk before he regained his composure
Going to work together with someone brings a great sense of security
Robert's face instantly darkened
Robert : ----
Luke lowered his voice further: "Are you sure he said to drink coffee?"
They are all the people she cares about the most, and under mutual care, it should be able to reduce the danger
Luke chuckled and quickly took a large leather paper bag from Catherine's hands, then gave her forehead a peck with his mouth still lingering with breadcrumbs: "Oh, that is just wonderful. Thank you for preparing a lunch for me alone."
Luke moved quickly, spreading a thick layer of peanut butter on his toast
The United States and China are different
While waiting for the freshly brewed coffee to be ready, the middle-aged man turned on the speakers on the desk. The sound was not particularly loud, but it was quite clear in the eerily quiet autopsy room
The so-called Room 3 refers to the third autopsy room
The middle-aged man named Mars was taken aback and smiled apologetically: "I apologize, I am used to joking around with those scoundrels in the bureau. You know, previously Hank... uh, never mind, let's not mention that."
Their administrative divisions, from largest to smallest, are states, counties, and cities, followed by smaller towns and villages
Catherine never doubted this
After all, police departments across the country do not have a direct hierarchical relationship. Even when the FBI conducts investigations nationwide, they are often confronted by local police departments, who feel that the FBI is intruding into matters within their jurisdiction.
The town police department is only accountable to the residents of the town; in the event of any incident, it is preferable for them to solve it on their own
Luke smiled silently, adhering to his principle of saying little, especially with Robert nearby
Certainly, while Robert may still be taking care of Luke at present, based on Luke's performance from childhood to now, it will not be long before they can look out for each other.
The middle-aged man tidied up his coffee-drinking paraphernalia before sizing up Luke for a moment: "A newcomer?"
Robert: "No, it's fine to just buy something outside."
It took a full thirty minutes for that middle-aged man to leisurely prepare a small cup of coffee, showing no intention of sharing it with Robert and the others.
A middle-aged man in his forties saw Robert and simply nodded: "You have arrived, please wait a moment while I finish this cup of freshly brewed coffee."
Therefore, it is not uncommon for police departments to compete for cases.
Robert hurried to Knox to observe the autopsy, eager to ascertain the nature of the case as soon as possible
Robert: "... ... Damn it, where did you hear that? Well, that statement is absolutely spot on and quite succinct. It's decided, you are not allowed to say this to anyone else; I will use it to reprimand my subordinates."
Unless it is an unsolvable case that has severe implications, local police departments generally do not transfer case handling authority to other agencies, whether that agency is the FBI or another police department
Robert's complexion was not very good, yet he did not lose his temper. Instead, he lowered his voice and said, "This is just how he is. Before starting work in the morning, he insists on making himself a cup of freshly brewed coffee, claiming that if he doesn't have that first sip, he won't have the energy for the entire day."
Indeed, Robert's expression darkened: "Mars, do not joke about my family"
However, the forensic department of Knox is just average; if they cannot resolve the issue, it will depend on whether the town sends it to a more specialized forensic department, such as in Houston
The quicker the case is solved, the more it demonstrates that the officers of the small-town police station are not merely taking a paycheck without merit
However, the law enforcement system is coming from the opposite direction
It turns out that Catherine had prepared a little extra earlier, hoping that they would take it along, so they could have something to eat if they got hungry
Today will definitely be very busy, and if he doesn't eat a hearty breakfast, he fears that he will be so hungry by noon that his legs will weaken
Luke remained silent
After getting out of the car, Robert did not enter immediately, but instead looked at Luke and said, "You know, what should a police officer pay attention to right after arriving?"
If that girl accidentally drowned herself, then it has little to do with the police department
Robert's cheek twitched: "He never touches those things, including weeds. I think coffee feels just like weeds to him; he is addicted to it."
Luke pondered for a moment and replied, "Listen and observe more, speak and act less"
Is there something wrong? Luke felt a deep sense of doubt; could it be that the place he arrived at was a café
Robert had no reservations; he simply knocked a few times on the door and pushed it open.
He rarely wins arguments against Luke, as his thinking is always less original than that of someone else
But this is not the end
