America, starting as a trainee police officer

Chapter 98 French Custard, so delicious, hehehe

"Then he'll have to accept society's punishment."

To be fair, Nolan is too idealistic.

It's okay to be friends with him, but you can't let him know you've done something illegal.

Otherwise, he'll risk his life to report you.

"Okay." Gray had nothing to say after hearing Nolan's answer.

He finally stood up and concluded: "Guys, human relationships are as deep as the Mariana Trench. If you eat someone's food, you're bound to be obligated; if you take someone's money, you're indebted. Be careful, or you'll face utter ruin."

"Listen, let's speak frankly. There's a difference between the written word of the law and its spirit, and your duty is to distinguish between the two."

"Please remember that as police officers, you have power. The key point is that this power is usually granted by law enforcement agencies and by the badge you wear."

"The more power one has, the more dangerous one becomes."

"Alright, that's all for now. Be careful while on duty."

"Subaru blue SUV, license plate number: V5BU9F7, please pull over."

Li Wei, holding a megaphone, ordered the SUV in front to pull over.

A moment later, he came to the driver's side with a small notebook.

Please show your driver's license and vehicle registration documents.

The person inside the car was Asian, dressed quite fancy, and looked to be middle class.

There was also a curly-haired dog in the passenger seat.

"Listen, I don't have time to play these games with you."

"Please come in for inspection, ma'am. You ignored the stop sign and sped past."

Li Wei was impartial and incorruptible.

"That's because Prince Charles is about to die!"

The woman yelled at Li Wei excitedly.

To be fair, if she weren't Asian...

He switched to a black-clad man, and even pulled out a gun.

"Is your dog named Prince Charles? Aren't you afraid of getting beaten up by the British for naming him that?"

Looking at the listless curly-haired dog, Li Wei couldn't help but mutter a complaint.

"God! It's a Prince Charles hound! It just ate a whole bag of macadamia nuts!"

"Oh, if it dies, then it's your fault for leaving the walnuts where it could reach them. Now, please show me your driver's license and vehicle registration documents."

"Really? I'm speeding to take my dog ​​to the vet. I need to get his stomach pumped right away—these walnuts are poisonous to dogs—"

Clearly, the woman wanted Li Wei to make an exception.

But who knows if her dog is really going to die? Even if it is, is that a reason for her to break the law?

"Driver's license, and vehicle registration documents. Madam, if you continue to delay, the probability of your Prince Charles dying increases. His death is entirely your fault."

Li Weicai wouldn't play the empathy game with this kind of person.

To put it bluntly, this woman subconsciously wanted to complicate matters, simply thinking that if the dog died, she could blame the policeman for making trouble.

Hearing Li Wei say this, the woman angrily took out her driver's license and registration documents and handed them to Li Wei: "If it dies—"

She didn't say the second half of the sentence.

Li Wei smiled slightly, didn't respond to her, and returned the document to her after issuing the ticket.

"Have a nice day, goodbye. You can leave now."

The woman practically snatched the ticket from Li Wei's hand, glaring at him and saying, "Go to hell!"

He then started the car and drove away.

"Li, given this situation, do you think issuing a ticket is the best solution?"

"Yep, she broke the traffic rules."

"Her dog is dying, a verbal warning will suffice."

Clearly, Lopez disagreed with Levi's tough stance on law enforcement.

"Angela, her dog eats walnuts, not chocolate. This woman is using her dog to get away with a ticket. Also, this is school zone. What if she hits a child? Is a dog's life more valuable than a human's?"

"Damn, with that mouth of yours, you should be a lawyer, not a policeman."

"7-A-07, Police dispatched for unlawful detention case. Location: 974 Crater Avenue."

"7-A-07, alarm received."

Lopez took the walkie-talkie and answered the call to dispatch.

Before long, Li Wei and she arrived at a restaurant that looked pretty good.

"Hey, are you the restaurant manager?"

As soon as the two walked in, a man in a suit and tie, dressed very neatly and cleanly, came over.

"Yes, hello."

"Sir, we received a report that a customer has been forcibly detained in your restaurant?"

The restaurant manager quickly explained, "The person being detained doesn't count as a customer; he's a professional conman."

"What?"

"This guy specializes in setting traps to date all sorts of women, eating and drinking extravagantly, draining them of their money, and then sneaking away through the back door."

"The restaurants in the vicinity are well-known to everyone."

"That poor woman over there is the victim he assaulted today."

As he spoke, the restaurant manager glanced at a lonely, blonde white woman sitting alone at a table, looking distressed.

He looked to be around forty or fifty years old.

"Fortunately, our kitchen staff caught him red-handed. The bastard is currently locked in the cold storage."

After listening to the restaurant manager's statement.

Lopez nodded. "Give us a few minutes."

The restaurant manager nodded.

Lopez led Levi to the female victim.

"It seems your date today was pretty bad."

The woman was clearly angry: "Tinder is like a clearance sale of trashy men!"

But to be fair, which hookup app isn't full of scammers?

"For lunch, he ordered a $500 bottle of wine, followed by a mixed assortment of raw and cooked meats and fruit, a cheese platter, and a French black pepper steak. The total bill came to $680!"

After saying that, the woman sighed and continued, "How am I supposed to pay this month's rent after all this?"

Li Wei's [Law] skill was activated, and he calculated the menu prices and the amount involved in the felony fraud. They were exactly $20 off.

I glanced at the dishes on the table.

"Ma'am, I suggest you order a dessert or something. That will bring the bill to $700."

"Why?" The woman was a little confused.

"I can't tell you the specific reasons, but please believe me."

After Li Wei finished speaking, he winked at the woman.

What he said constituted a violation of the law.

"Damn Right, ma'am, listen to him, order a dessert. The custard here is absolutely delicious."

Hearing both policemen say this, the woman realized something. She smiled and called over the restaurant manager.

"Li, you can go and arrest the fraudster now."

Lopez smiled, clearly agreeing with Levi's approach.

A moment later, Li Wei pressed the man down and put him into the back seat of the police car.

Lopez, meanwhile, was enjoying a plate of French custard.

"Well done, Li. Skillfully applying the law is an essential skill for us police officers."

As she spoke, Lopez scooped up a spoonful of steamed egg and happily ate it.

"Does this count as accepting bribes from citizens, sir?"

Seeing how happily Lopez was eating, Li Wei couldn't help but tease him.

"This is a reasonable expression of appreciation from citizens for the outstanding work of the police, and it is legal and compliant. Officer Li."
