America, starting as a trainee police officer

"Two weapons can be exchanged for two gift cards."

Looking at the two old-fashioned shotguns placed on the table by the hippie-style man in front of him, West handed him the gift card.

"Thank you for making the city's neighborhoods more peaceful."

The hippie left the police station with the gift card in his hand.

Today is Gun Recycling Day.

Li Wei and three other rookie officers stood at the front desk of the police station.

"We collected all these firearms and disposed of them in a unified manner. What if some of them were used in crimes?"

Lucy offered her rather immature suggestion from the side.

Before Levi could even speak, West retorted, "Hey, this is what 'not asking too many questions' means. The best solution is to get people to willingly hand over unregistered, illegal weapons."

Nolan chimed in, "No questions asked, plus a free gift card worth a hundred dollars."

To be fair, Li Wei disagrees with their views on this point.

The best solution would be to confiscate all guns, allowing only police officers and public officials with the necessary rights to carry firearms throughout the city.

Unfortunately, this is America.

Every year, countless people die from gun violence, yet they will not give up their right to bear arms.

Even if they themselves are the next to die, they will never give up.

So-called freedom and democracy.

It's deeply ingrained in my mind.

Let them put their personal safety behind these things.

Li Wei didn't have any grand political ideals. He only felt that survival was the most important thing. Once people were dead, all other ideals and laws were meaningless.

Just then, an elderly woman pulled a handcart with a long, narrow object wrapped in a towel inside.

Clearly, she had also come to hand over her weapon.

Seeing that she was having difficulty moving around, the kind-hearted Nolan quickly stepped forward: "Oh! Let me help you carry it!"

He warmly took the cart from the woman's hands.

"Oh! Thank you... Officer Nolan!"

The woman glanced at Nolan's name tag.

"You're too kind. How should I address you?"

"My name is Alma."

"Nice to meet you, Alma." Nolan shook hands with Alma.

"Are all of these yours?"

He pulled the guns toward the front desk.

He asked Alma.

Alma shook her head: "Oh, no, no, no, these are my father's belongings."

"He was a paratrooper during World War II, and these are all things my father brought back from the battlefield. He's kept them with him ever since."

"My father passed away in 1974, and I have kept these guns ever since."

Nolan opened the box, which was full of World War II equipment, mostly German-made.

"Oh... Alma. These guns are in excellent condition. Seriously, you could sell these for a fortune!"

In Amy, there are quite a few collectors of these antique firearms.

"Oh, to be honest, I don't know much about this. I don't know how to do it. Besides, I'm moving to my son's house, and I don't want my grandchildren to come into contact with these things."

Alma is clearly someone who doesn't like guns.

Hearing her say that, Nolan didn't say anything, picked up the guns one by one, and handed them to Lucy and Levi at the front desk.

"In that case, our police force would be happy to assist you."

At this moment, Nolan unfolded a towel, revealing an American-made M1911 pistol.

"Oh, this is my father's pistol."

A hint of nostalgia flashed across Alma's face.

As the towels were unfolded, Nolan discovered something different.

"Alma? Could this be a landmine?"

Nolan panicked, but his police academy training prevented him from trembling as he threw the landmine away.

Alma looked at the landmine in Nolan's hand.

"Yes, this should be called a directional fragmentation mine. It was brought back from the Vietnam War."

Without saying a word, Li Wei picked up the landline and dialed the front desk: "Hello, could you ask the bomb disposal team to come to the police station lobby? Hurry up."

He had three [Substitute Coins], but he really didn't want to waste them on something like this.

"Alright! These are all highly explosive items. I'm glad you're handing them over to the police station. Here's what we'll do: I'll stay in the lobby to handle these explosives, and Officer Chen will escort you to a safe distance."

"How about I give you the gift card the police station promised?"

Hearing Nolan say that, Alma naturally had no objection.

But after taking only two steps, she exclaimed, "Oh...uh...what about all that stuff in my car trunk?"

Before Nolan could speak, a loud explosion was heard outside.

Immediately, everyone in the entire hall instinctively shrank their heads.

The whole house shook violently.

It shook off the dust that had been difficult to clean from the fluorescent lights above.

...

The episode involving explosives has come to an end.

Li Wei's life returned to daily patrols, catching petty thieves and gangsters with Lopez.

While receiving the reward, he completed his FTO (Field Training Officer Program).

As for Lawrence, that guy...

Since his release from court, Li Wei hasn't found any particularly good opportunities.

This guy now locks himself in Triphasic Medical's lab every day.

As a laboratory, it has a very comprehensive security system.

It wasn't an ordinary house; I couldn't possibly sneak in.

Even with the "invisible" effect, a person can't see themselves. But a camera can.

To take down Lawrence, we need to learn a skill similar to "hacking" so that we can disable all those cameras before we can carry it out.

Today, Li Wei is learning the basics of hacking skills.

Buzzing.

In Bianca's apartment, Levi's phone vibrated.

Li Wei put down his book "Data Structures" and picked up his phone.

"Emergency assembly, all patrol officers return to the police station."

The text message was a mass message sent by the police department.

Bianca, who was standing nearby, came over curiously after hearing the text message that Levi read aloud.

The faint scent of her perfume was quite pleasant.

"Huh? What does that mean?"

Bianca was also quite curious about the work of the police.

It means that something troublesome is about to happen.

Li Wei put away his phone.

"I'm going to the police station for a meeting. Hopefully I'll be back later."

After saying that, Levi kissed Bianca's thin lips, changed his clothes, and left her apartment.

...

Police station, conference room.

All the patrol officers gathered together.

Captain Inspector Zoe Anderson, Field Commander Superintendent Gray, and a woman in a suit stood on the podium.

"Thank you all for rushing back to the police station from your vacations. The Vice President visited our city without prior notice. All personnel were mobilized to provide security."

After saying that, Zoe looked at the woman in the suit beside her: "Agent Danfoss, please."

"Thank you, Inspector."

After thanking Zoe, she looked at the group of patrol officers: "As is customary, the Secret Service is very grateful to have worked hand in hand with the Los Angeles Police Department to thoroughly investigate and ensure the safe travel of the important figure codenamed 'Redwood'."
