America, starting as a trainee police officer

Chapter 103 We All Have a Bright Tomorrow

"Hey, since we're all suspected of serious crimes, do you know what I want to do most right now?"

Nolan then looked at the other three.

"Uh... drinking?" West said, voicing his thoughts.

"That's absolutely right! I have a whole fridge full of food, anyone want to come along?"

Nolan nodded and invited everyone.

"I'll participate!" West was the first to agree, then he looked at Lucy: "Lucy?"

"Really? Lunchtime has just passed. I should take advantage of this free time to quickly find a place to rent."

"Okay, alright then." The two waved to Lucy, and Lucy left.

Just then, Tim and Bishop passed by.

"Hey, sir." West stood up straight immediately.

"We passed the lie detector test!"

West looked at Tim with pride.

Tim's face darkened: "You're police officers, proving you're not criminals. Do you want my reward?"

"No—no, sir." West realized he had said the wrong thing.

"To be honest, this is just our duty. Until the lost money is found, you are far from innocent."

"However, the police will do their utmost to get to the bottom of this."

After saying that, Tim and Bishop left.

"And you, Li?" Lucy refused, so Nolan looked at Li Wei.

"I might have some clues about the missing money, so I won't go."

Li Wei shook his head.

When Levi mentioned having a lead, West and Nolan's eyes lit up.

"What clue?" they asked Li Wei anxiously.

To be honest, none of them wanted to be dismissed from the police force without any explanation.

"It's not certain yet; I need to go see Lopez first."

A few minutes later, in front of Lopez's computer.

Levi, West, Nolan, Lopez, and Tim were all there.

Are you sure it's this person?

"I can't be mistaken. Before we started our operation, I saw this person carrying a large bag walking towards us from the direction of the house."

Li Wei looked at Franco's photo on the computer and nodded affirmatively.

West and Nolan, who were standing nearby, also recalled the details of the operation.

"Yes, I've met this person too."

"Yes, I remember now, but I didn't pay attention at the time because I thought they were just ordinary civilians."

"So that means there's a high probability he took the money?"

Lopez read a sentence and immediately looked at Tim.

"What are you still looking at? Notify Bishop and the others. We'll each contact our informants, and once we find this guy, everything will be clear."

After saying that, Tim was the first to leave.

"Good job, rookie. That's the kind of attention to detail you need to be a police officer."

To be honest, Lopez felt a little ashamed.

He, Tim, Bishop, and other veteran T.0 players didn't notice this detail.

"Sir, is there anything we can do?"

Nolan and West were very eager to have the chance to completely clear their names.

"The three of you are currently suspended. So, stay home and wait for our notification. Don't worry, we will find him."

Lopez offered some words of comfort to Nolan and West.

After saying that, she got up and went to contact her informant.

Three people remained.

"So, what do we say now? How about coming to my place for drinks?" Nolan invited again.

This time, Li Wei did not refuse.

Now they've successfully shifted the blame onto Franco.

Once Franco is captured, all suspicion against them will be cleared.

Commissioner Smith has found a scapegoat.

Everyone has a bright future ahead.

As for the inhuman torture Franco would endure for that $250,000, that's hardly his concern.

Who told him to try and steal from Commissioner Smith?

Nolan's Big House.

This was the first time Li Wei had been invited to be a guest by him.

He sized up the big house.

The floor-to-ceiling windows offer a panoramic view of the city of Los Angeles.

The house is not only large, but it also has a swimming pool.

It's even more luxurious than the villa behind Franklin in the movie "Give Me Love".

On the balcony, three men sat on a small sofa around a small table.

There were some snacks on the small table.

There were still cases of beer on the ground.

"Well, Talia is right. If we don't catch the person who stole the money, they'll still think we're the ones who stole it."

"Hey, we've found all the clues, trust Bishop and the others." West offered a word of comfort, listening to Nolan's concerns.

Drop drop drop drop.

Just then, Nolan's phone rang.

"It's Lucy."

He answered the phone.

"Hey Lucy, you've just stepped into my conversation with Jackson and Lee."

"Let me tell you, if the police can't find that money, we're finished."

"0h, we were just talking about this, and you're moving too fast, there's new information."

"What? You didn't even tell me about the latest news? This is so disheartening. So, what's the latest news?"

"Li remembered someone who might have taken the $250,000. We checked the database, and he is indeed a member of the gang. Our instructors are now tracking him down."

"Wow, that's great news! Now that you mention it, I think I remember now. Before we took action, there was indeed someone carrying a large bag and looking nervous walking towards us from the direction of the house. Could it be him?"

"Bingo! You guessed right."

"What exactly does this guy want?" Lucy's tone suddenly changed at this moment.

"Huh? What?" Nolan was a little confused.

"There's an SUV that's been chasing after my car."

After Lucy finished speaking, she frowned and looked at the SUV in the rearview mirror.

boom!

Suddenly, the SUV accelerated and crashed directly into the rear of Lucy's car.

"Hey Crap! He just hit my car! He looked like he was trying to knock me off the road!"

"Where are you now?" Nolan quickly asked for the location.

"Uh—Griffith Park driveway south! Just passed the mine tunnel!"

Just as Lucy finished speaking, there was a sharp screech of brakes.

"Lucy?"

There was no reply from Lucy on the phone, only the sound of gunshots.

"She's run into Franco!"

Li Wei then stood up.

Upon hearing this, Nolan quickly hung up the phone and dialed Bishop's number.

"Bishop! Lucy's in trouble. She's on the driveway in Griffith Park. Jackson, Lee, and I are on our way!"

Inside Nolan's pickup truck, Levi was driving.

West sat in the back seat, and Nolan sat in the passenger seat; both of them were pale.

Thanks to Lopez's publicity, almost everyone in the police department knew that Levi could speed.

In this emergency, Nolan gave up his driver's seat.

As a result, he and West almost threw up in the car.

stab.

A sudden screech of brakes.

After parking the car, the three men gripped their weapons and got out.
