A retired reincarnator from a certain American film studio

Luke leaned back in his chair, nodded thoughtfully, and then looked at Jack: "Has Team One had any recent operations?"

Jack said, "It's still that interstate arms smuggling case. Debbie is cooperating with the technical department to track them down. We already have leads, and we may be able to close in soon."

Luke hummed in agreement, then looked at Jack calmly and said, "Where there is action, there are casualties. It's such a pity that he died in the line of duty at such a young age."

Jack was slightly taken aback.

next second.

Jack's expression also turned serious.

"I understand, boss."

"As long as you know!"

"..."

Luke had very low expectations of his subordinates, and didn't even require them to be highly capable.

Just a little bit.

Loyalty!

loyalty.

And loyalty is a must.

Because if loyalty is not absolute, then it is absolutely disloyal.

and so……

Alan Green, who was utterly disloyal to him but loyal to Louis, can now retire from the role.

He had no interest in keeping someone loyal to another under his command.

Luke thought to himself, then looked at Jack, who had a serious expression, smiled, and said to Jack, "Do you know about the plane that Chief Louis's plane crashed in Sacramento yesterday?"

Jack nodded.

"I know, it was already circulating in the bureau when I got off work yesterday."

"I almost got on this plane because of Alan Green."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Jack's expression changed instantly, turning furious. He then took a deep breath and said to Luke, "Boss, don't worry, I know what to do."

Seeing this, Lu Ke didn't say anything more and nodded.

Jack stood up, said goodbye to Luke, then turned and left the office.

Luke watched Jack turn and close the office door as he left, thought for a moment, then shook his head and laughed.

Even if he hadn't said the reason, given Jack's loyalty to Max, he would have allowed Alan Green to die in the line of duty.

But Jack, like Earl, was his second-in-command.

The only difference is that Earl is his administrative deputy, while Jack is someone Luke intends to mold into his right-hand man.

Do not ask.

The answer is Jack's loyalty is MAX.

And Jack's efficiency is also fantastic.

He said those words at 9:45 a.m. on Tuesday, November 10, 2009.

The report of Alan Green's death in the line of duty was submitted two days later, at 9:30 a.m. on Monday the 13th.

Lu Ke flipped through the report in his hand.

According to the report, Alan Green was shot eight times in the back and died on the spot during a joint operation with the counterterrorism task force yesterday to raid a group of interstate arms dealers. He was attacked and resisted by the arms dealers.

"Shot in the back?"

Luke extracted the keywords from the report, looked up at Jack, opened his mouth as if to say something, but seeing that the report did not indicate suicide, he gave up and asked about other things: "Has the suspect been arrested?"

Jack shook his head.

"The five suspects resisted arrest and were all shot dead on the spot. The seized weapons have been placed in the evidence room."

"alright."

Upon hearing this, Luke nodded, picked up a pen from the side, signed his name on the agent's death report, and handed it to Jack: "File it."

He originally intended to make Alan Green disappear without a trace.

but……

He was a legitimate detective, after all. Even though he was a traitor to him, a detective should die a detective's death.

Therefore, Lu Ke granted him the treatment of dying in the line of duty.

After taking the documents, Jack got up and left the office.

Just as Lu Ke was about to get up and go to Pan Ning's office to grab a bottle of bourbon from the liquor cabinet, Pan Ning called.

"Hey."

"The bureau has made a decision."

After the call connected, Pan Ning didn't waste any words and said directly, "The news of Louis's death will be sent to offices throughout California shortly."

Lu Ke raised an eyebrow.

"cause of death?"

"Plane crash."

This was the final decision reached after four days of negotiation between Washington, the FBI, and the Louis family.

They still attributed Louis's death to a plane crash.

After all, for an FBI state director to be murdered in his office like an old dog, dying in a plane crash is undoubtedly a more dignified way to die.

And it's respectable for everyone.

Lu Ke shook his head, thinking to himself, and felt a pang of regret.

When Louis was alive, he was very powerful, displaying the demeanor and style of a state bureau chief with great power.

And wherever he goes, he is always surrounded by people.

What happens after death?

Even the manner of his death had to be chosen by someone else.

and so……

This incident taught Lu Ke a lesson.

If people do not seek death, they will not die.

pity!

Who told Louis to court disaster?

Lu Ke sighed.

After finishing his sentence, Pan Ning on the other end of the phone continued, "By the way, I might have to stay here and attend Louis's funeral first."

Lu Ke hummed in agreement and thought for a moment.

Do I need to go?

"No need, you weren't on the invitation."

"what."

"This is called a funeral, but it's actually a resource coordination event arranged by the Louis family. Directors of offices from various regions were all invited this time."

Ok.

After his death, Louis not only couldn't decide how he died, but even his funeral became the pretext for a friendly get-together within his family.

As Lu Ke thought about it, he couldn't help but sigh again.

But think about it.

The Lewis family, a prominent family in California, certainly didn't only have one male heir, Horton Lewis; there must have been others as well.

It's just that the other men, compared to Horton Lewis today, might not have such a high status.

but……

Even if his status wasn't high, he still bore the surname Louis.

Now that Horton Lewis is dead, the most pressing issue for the Lewis family is not how to hold a proper funeral for him, but rather how to quickly reconnect with the resources he left behind.

For example, the branch managers of various offices whom Horton Lewis promoted during his many years in California.

He also has some friends in California politics.

Connecting these resources and relationships is the first issue the Lewis family needs to consider after Horton Lewis's death.

This is not reality, but the fact that this is true.

Hearing Luke's sigh from Sacramento, Pan Ning assumed he was saddened by not receiving an invitation to Louis's funeral and said directly, "But if you want to come, you can. I'll make the arrangements."

Lu Ke snapped out of his daze: "No thanks, I'm afraid he'll jump out of his coffin and come after me."

Kill Louis and then attend his funeral?

What kind of behavior is this?

Dancing on a grave.

What if Louis gets so angry that he comes back to life?

just forget it.

Lu Ke decisively declined Pan Ning's offer, saying that the latter could simply send him a flower basket or something, and then quickly changed the subject: "By the way, what about my immunity order?"

Pan Ning laughed and said, "Don't worry, I've got you covered. I'll get it for you as soon as the funeral is over here.
