Chapter 8 has a cheat code! Stop trading!
In the police car, Lu Yiming sat in the back seat, watching the night view rushing past the window.
So much happened tonight: a series of murders, which were solved by relying on a chat group of criminals.
Old Mike patted his chest and assured him that he would take care of the award medal.
But Lu Yiming was unsure whether this old fox was reliable or not.
The list of those officially appointed will not be announced until the end of the year, which is still six months away.
With the commendation medal, becoming a full-fledged police officer is a certainty.
But if he doesn't get the attention of higher-ups, he can only issue tickets in the patrol department for the rest of his life.
This was too far from his goal. Lu Yiming touched the bulging US dollars in his pocket.
This is America, where money and power can buy you everything.
You can make the rules give way, let the law whitewash things, and even get the president to promote your products.
We need to climb higher, to a high enough position, to reopen that case from back then.
The mystery that killed the father.
He needs money, power, and influence.
This is why he was determined to get into the police force, even if it meant starting from the very bottom.
Therefore, simply solving a case and receiving an award is not enough.
They also need to demonstrate their value to those in power.
Thinking of this, he turned his head and looked at the back of the person with neat blond hair in the front row.
"Hey, Mia..."
"Stop," Mia interrupted crisply. "We're not that close, let's add the last name."
Lu Yiming's lips twitched.
As for?
The two were high school classmates; while they might not know each other inside and out, they were certainly very close.
She still holds a grudge about that little incident from her time at police academy.
Before going to university, Mia's best friend, who was also Lu Yiming's childhood sweetheart, asked her to take care of Lu Yiming.
As a result, the girl mistakenly thought that she was to keep an eye on Lu Yiming and prevent him from getting involved with other women.
Lu Yiming was so good-looking that he attracted a lot of attention, and soon he was entangled with a strong-willed white female senior.
The two women in the middle had a lot of unpleasantness.
This infuriated the responsible Mia, and from that day on, rumors spread throughout the police academy that "Lu Yiming is a womanizer and two-timing."
Some people even fabricated stories that his poor physical fitness was due to kidney deficiency.
Lu Yiming smiled bitterly to himself; there was simply no way to explain those rumors.
How can you prove that a man's kidneys are not weak?
"Alright, alright, Officer Rockefeller, what big case are you investigating lately? Tell me about it!"
Mia Rockefeller glared at him in the rearview mirror: "What, Detective Lu just solved a case, and now you want to instruct our homicide squad?"
"We're not that close, let's just call each other by our full names."
Mia turned her head angrily, only to be interrupted by Lu Yiming while casting the spell:
"Watch out for the car! Good heavens, you female drivers..."
The girl muttered two curses under her breath, and judging from her lip movements, they were quite vulgar.
Having avenged his great grudge, Lu Yiming took out his phone to check the information.
Mike also sent him a copy of the results of Latoya's interrogation; she confessed to all the crimes.
The first person she killed was her cheating husband, which she staged as an accident.
but……
The statement ends with the line: "I didn't get the nitroglycerin through my job; a hooded man gave it to me."
Lu Yiming frowned.
Is there someone behind the scenes?
But he quickly came to terms with it. Anyway, the killer had been caught; the rest was up to the city police.
He opened the "Legendary Criminals Chat Group".
He noticed a red dot in the upper right corner of his profile picture, which wasn't there before.
Upon opening it, I found it was my personal panel (visible only to myself).
Nickname: Lu Yiming
Position: Community Service Officer (CSO) of the Fremont Police Department, California, USA (Promotion grants 0.3 free attribute points)
Next, the data below is divided into two partitions: blue and red.
[Rational Values]
Intelligence: 1.2 (Your IQ is slightly above average)
Strength: 1.1 (After using the red envelope, your stamina has been greatly improved, turning you from a weakling into a slightly stronger weakling.)
Charm: 1.7 (Your excellent appearance gives you a significant advantage in attracting the opposite sex)
Perception: 1.0 (Your intuition for danger is fairly sharp)
……
Lu Yiming was taken aback, took off his clothes and took a look.
Although his chest was bruised, his pectoral muscles were slightly raised, as if he had been working out for three months.
Wow, I didn't know using group members' red envelopes had this benefit!
"Hey! What are you doing?! I'm a woman! Put that damn dress back on!"
Lu Yiming glanced at Mia's gaze in the rearview mirror.
She quickly covered her chest, "Why are you peeking at me? Do you believe I'll report you for sexual harassment?"
"WT..."
Lu Yiming covered his ears and then looked at his attribute values. When he saw the red area, he was dumbfounded.
[Frenzy Value]
Berserk: 0.5 (You can still suppress your violent desires)
Greed: 1 (You begin to crave money and power)
Kills: 0 (You have stayed true to yourself and have not crossed the line)
Laziness: 0 (You are a positive and motivated comrade)
Lust: 2 (You have been suppressing your desires for a long time and are now having thoughts about young and beautiful women. Please restrain your animalistic instincts.)
There are more than a dozen other attributes below, all of which indicate a tendency towards crime.
It seems that using red envelopes from criminal groups does indeed come at a price.
He only just remembered that since using Jack the Ripper's red envelope, not only had his strength increased, but his violence level had also increased.
If you keep using red envelopes endlessly, you'll eventually turn into a ruthless killer.
Wait, how come there's a point of greed too? He doesn't think it's due to the use of red envelopes.
Perhaps the influence of those around you also increases the value of the red zone.
For example, that old Mike who dragged me into his corrupt ways!
As for lust... emmm, those who know, know.
In any case, it's always good to hoard more red envelopes; he needs more trump cards.
He clicked back to the group chat.
I selected a few administrators and clicked on their profile pictures.
Sure enough, their data was displayed.
[Professor Moriarty]: Intelligence 2.5, Strength 1.8, Brutality 3.0, Carnage 5.0...
[Hannibal the Gourmet]: Intelligence 2.1, Strength 1.8, Psychology Mastery 5, Culinary Mastery 5...
It seems that the gap between myself and these legendary demons is not small at all.
……
[Che Guevara the Thief]: Intelligence 0.3, Strength 0.3, Greed 1.5, Thief 5.0...
Indeed, happiness is generated through comparison.
Ever since Jack the Ripper sent out that "Rampage Execution" red envelope, the message count has been over 99.
He needs a Taobao account to help him summarize what they talked about.
After climbing for ages, I finally found the starting point.
Che Guevara: @Jack the Ripper, why did you only post one that I didn't manage to grab?
Che Guevara: @Lu Yiming, are you cheating? You snatched it so fast!
Lu Yiming chuckled. "Can it be considered open if it's not closed?"
Jack the Ripper: @Lu Yiming Why didn't you say anything after grabbing the red envelope? What happened? Did you get arrested?
Outlaw Zhang San: Damn it, it's been so long, the cops are probably coming to our door.
Che Guevara: It's alright, don't be afraid, there are many talented people inside, and they speak very nicely.
John the Bible Killer: Oh well, what a pity. I was hoping he could commit some new crimes to entertain us.
Lu Yiming's lips curled up slightly.
Yes, I was arrested, but unfortunately, it wasn't me who was arrested.
It was the serial killer.
He wants to continue playing the role of a serial killer in this group.
I will need their help in many ways in the future.
He took a deep breath and started typing.
Lu Yiming: I wasn't arrested, I just went to rob someone. I didn't use any cheats, I got the prize based on my internet speed.
Professor Moriarty: @Lu Yiming, very good. Pay attention to the pace, don't be too hasty.
Educator Jigsaw: Why don't you learn to make games with me?
Che Guevara: You're kidding! You think you could grab something this fast without cheating? I don't believe it!
Just then, another red envelope popped up.
[Che Guevara sent a red envelope.]
[The Red Envelope Assistant has automatically grabbed red envelopes for you]
