A retired reincarnator from a certain American film studio

The issue of identity has also been resolved.

His relationship with Rachel also progressed rapidly.

May everything go smoothly for you.

May all go well with you.

It has to be said that this is quite in line with Lu Ke's vision of his retirement life.

Just as Lu Ke finished his drink and was about to lie down on the recliner for his morning nap, his phone rang.

Earl's.

Lu Ke took out his phone, glanced at the incoming call, put his wine glass on the coffee table, and answered the call.

"Earl, what's wrong?"

"Chief, the Sentinel Special Service is here to see you."

"..."

Chapter 136 The Sentinel Who Came to Demand a Case (Fifth Update, Please Subscribe to All Chapters!!)

Sentinel Special Operations Bureau?

"Yes."

"..."

Luke frowned as he listened to Earl's voice on the phone.

Shit.

Was the slap in the face really that quick?

One second he was thinking about how peaceful and quiet life was, a perfect time to enjoy retirement, and the next second the Sentinel Secret Service showed up at his door.

Luke's thoughts raced.

What are the Sentinel Special Operations Bureau doing here?

"They want jurisdiction over a case."

"...Which case?"

"A series of bank vault robberies."

"..."

Lu Ke breathed a sigh of relief.

He thought the Sentinel Service had come because of the bombing in the Mil community.

However, it seems impossible.

After all, the case of the Mil community bombing has been closed, and the White House and the Department of Justice are aware of it. If the Sentinels wanted to investigate the Mil community bombing, they would not only be slapping the FBI in the face, but also the Department of Justice and the White House.

"A bank vault robbery?"

"Correct."

"What case is this again?"

Luke got up from the deck chair and walked to the potted plants Rachel had planted in the backyard, asking Earl a question out of curiosity.

After all, even though he had taken office as the Assistant Director of Operations, he was not aware of all the historical cases.

Earl explained the series of bank vault robberies to Luke over the phone.

Simply put.

This case involves seven banks whose vaults were suspected of being robbed by the same suspect or the same theft gang over the past two years.

The reason it is described as "suspected" is that almost all of these seven banks only learned of the theft the following day when they went to work.

Because at the scene, there were no signs of the vault being broken into from the outside, and the bank's internal system showed no indication of the vault's combination lock being opened. Furthermore, reviewing the bank's surveillance footage and the vault's surveillance footage yielded no clues.

The security cameras in the vault appeared to be interfered with by some kind of electromagnetic wave during the time of the incident, resulting in a distorted display.

By the time the surveillance footage was restored, their vault was in complete disarray.

Furthermore, no fingerprints or footprints suspected to be those of the bank thief were collected at the scene.

"Seven cases in two years."

"There were no signs of external attack, and the bank's surveillance system was functioning perfectly."

"The vault was robbed, and then the thief disappeared."

As Luke listened to Earl's explanation over the phone, he raised an eyebrow and said, "This looks like something that mutants with special abilities would do. Wasn't this case handed over to the Sentinel Special Operations Department before?"

As he listened to Earl's explanation, he instantly thought of the suspect, who was most likely one of those mutants who had awakened the X-gene and possessed all sorts of incredible abilities.

Earl said, "I just spoke with an administrative agent, and apparently, the California vault that was robbed three months ago contained the former director's safe deposit box. So the former director is holding back on this case, telling Bill Kings to solve it as soon as possible after finishing the truck robbery, so..."

Lu Ke understood.

but……

"Give it to them."

Luke smiled and said, "Since the Sentinel Special Operations Bureau wants this case, and it is suspected that it was committed by mutants, then let's transfer the case to them."

Anyway, this case didn't happen during his term, so if it can't be solved, it's because his predecessor was incompetent, and it has nothing to do with him.

Luke, who once served as the federal director of a state in one of the worlds of the main god, is very familiar with the ways of shifting blame within federal law enforcement agencies.

Passing the case on to the Sentinel Secret Service is the wisest choice.

Although this case occurred during the previous administration's term, there's no guarantee that the same vault thief won't strike again. If that happens, Luke could conveniently shift the blame, claiming that the case wasn't an FBI problem, but rather a Sentinel Secret Service problem.

This is why, whether in movies or TV series, whenever there is an arrest scene, it is almost always a single law enforcement agency that appears. It is rare to see multiple law enforcement agencies appearing together openly to arrest the same target.

Different national conditions.

In Dongguo, the key to solving cases is to disregard everything else, coordinate multiple departments, and apprehend the suspect first before considering anything else.

In the federal government, the prevailing attitude is to absolve oneself of responsibility as soon as possible before a case occurs.

Lu Ke was simply adapting to local customs.

"Okay, Director."

Earl nodded in response over the phone.

"Where are you now? I'll take the case file there. Transferring the case file requires your signature."

"I'm at home, just come over."

"Ok."

After half an hour.

The sound of two car engines could be heard outside the door.

Luke opened the door.

I saw Earl get out of the car in front of me, and three men in suits, led by a bald man, get out of a black Ford SUV behind me.

"Director."

"This is Jason Turner, a senior Sentinel from the Sentinel Special Operations Service."

"Hello."

"Director Dane."

Bald Sentinel Jason Turner shook hands with Luke: "Thank you, Director Dan."

Luke smiled, looking at Jason Turner, who seemed a little tired, and took the dossier transfer confirmation from Earl as he said, "Mr. Turner, did you just fly from Atlanta to Los Santos?"

The Sentinel Service has no branch office or offices in Los Santos.

To be precise.

Apart from its headquarters in Atlanta, the Sentinel Secret Service has no branch offices anywhere else.

Their case-handling methods are similar to those of state investigation bureaus.

For example, the California Bureau of Investigation.

The California Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has only one headquarters in Sacramento. If a major case occurs in California that requires the CBI's investigation, they will travel directly from Sacramento to the scene of the case and use the local police department's office to conduct their work.

The Sentinel Special Service operates on a similar model.

Once a mutant is discovered in a federal location, these Sentinel agents will depart from Atlanta and take over the case from the local police department or other law enforcement agency.

Jason Turner nodded and said, "Yes, I just finished dealing with an arson mutant case in New Jersey, and then flew here without stopping."

Upon hearing this, Luke looked up at Jason Turner: "This case didn't just happen recently, so why are you only noticing it now?"

Jason Turner smiled, then looked around and whispered, "To be honest, a bank vault in Atlanta was robbed a few days ago. There was one of our supervisor's safes inside. After the supervisor checked it, I flew directly from New Jersey here."

Lu Ke raised an eyebrow.

"It seems that your supervisor's secret is hidden in that safe."

"I think so."

"Ok."

Luke smiled and shook his head, handing the signed confirmation letter to Jason Turner in front of him: "From now on, this case is yours."

He wasn't interested in solving the case.

He joined the FBI initially simply to resolve his identity issue.

Jason Turner accepted the confirmation letter and thanked Luke once again.

Luke extended all the hospitality due to his host status: "Do you have an office space? Do you need me to find you an office space in the Federal Building?"

Jason Turner handed the confirmation letter to his subordinate behind him, politely declining Luke's offer: "Thank you, but we already booked a hotel when we came here."

Luke didn't mind and shook hands with Jason Turner again: "Okay, then I wish you a speedy resolution to the case."

Jason Turner said thank you, and then, without lingering, he hurriedly got back into the car with his two subordinates and sped away.
