Los Angeles Detective Chapter 221

  Chapter 221 Send money

   "Boom..."

  There was a knock on the door outside.

  Luke withdrew his thoughts, "Come in."

  The door opened, and a middle-aged Caucasian woman walked into the ward, holding a bouquet of colorful flowers in her hand.

   Luke looked at the other party, holding a gun under the sheet, "Who are you?"

  Luke has two guns, the Glock is still in the Las Vegas Police Department, but the other spare pistol has been returned.

   "I'm Barilla Ska, vice president of MGM. Mr. Li, are you feeling better?" The middle-aged Caucasian woman put flowers on the bedside table.

  The Mandalay Bay Hotel is a hotel under the MGM Group.

  Luke raised his eyebrows, "Ms. Scar, what are you doing here?"

   "I have heard about your heroic deeds and came to visit you on behalf of the group and the Mandalay Bay Hotel.

  Thank you for your service in protecting our hotel. "

  Luke was a little surprised, "Ms. Scar, you are very well informed, how did you know about this?"

   "The shooting happened in our hotel, so we also have a certain understanding of this incident. We know that you rushed to the shooter's room at the first time and stopped the shooter from continuing to commit crimes."

   Luke smiled. She didn't believe the other party's nonsense. Even if she checked the hotel surveillance, it was impossible to know the detailed situation.

What's more, I know that I only have a few colleagues in the hospital and people from the Las Vegas Police Department. It is impossible for my colleagues to have contact with MGM Group in Los Angeles. It must be the Las Vegas Police Department. The news was revealed internally.

   These **** are really unreliable. They asked themselves to sign a non-disclosure agreement, and then they sold themselves out.

   Sign your sister.

  Ba Lila Ska asked concerned, "Mr. Li, are you feeling better?"

   "My chest hurts all the time, what can I do for you?" Since I want to act, I will do a full set.

   "The first purpose of my coming here is to visit you, and the other is to express my gratitude to our hotel." Barilla Ska took out a black hotel card,

   "This is a diamond VIP card, and you can stay in any hotel under the group for free within ten years."

  Luke thought for a while, "I'll take the wish, and forget about the card."

  Ba Lila Ska continued, "Mr. Li, we, MGM Resorts, are a global hotel chain. We have hotels in many countries. You can stay in any hotel for free."

   "Thanks, I really don't need it." Luke refused again.

   There are two reasons for the rejection.

  First, there is no free lunch in the world.

  Luke did help the hotel, but the world itself is unequal. It doesn't mean that if you pay, you will definitely get something.

   The second reason, free accommodation for 10 years sounds good, but it is not very useful.

  Luke is 26 years old this year, and he will be 36 years later. This decade is the golden age of his career.

  How can I have so much time to travel every day.

   Even if he travels occasionally, he can't go alone. His room fee is waived, but what about other people's room fees?

It is not meaningful.

   Besides, going out to play is to see the mood, to see the scenic spots, where to go for fun.

  Before you can't play, check where there is an MGM hotel.

   Ten years of free hotel stay may seem like a big gimmick, but it is of little practical use to Luke.

   To put it bluntly, Luke didn't like it.

  Barila Ska has also been observing Luke. After being a group executive for so many years, she still has sharp eyesight.

   "Mr. Li, you can say what you want."

  Luke smiled, "Ms. Scar, what you said is very interesting, and your group doesn't owe me anything? What qualifications do I have to make demands on your group?"

   "Our group does not owe you anything.

  But you prevented the gunman from shooting, protected the hotel guests, and saved some losses for the hotel. We sincerely thank you.

  You may not know that our group is now facing huge compensation.

   If you don't stop the shooter in time, the damages will be higher.

   So, we sincerely thank you. Barila Ska changed the topic, "If you don't want the diamond VIP card for free stay, our hotel is willing to offer half a million dollars as a reward for your bravery. "

  Luke smiled, "Do you need me to do something?"

   "No, not necessary."

   "Tell me what is good for you to do this. I don't believe that you will give me money for free out of gratitude."

   "As I said before, our hotel is facing huge compensation, which is likely to be sky-high, and you have a certain influence in this case.

  We won't ask you to say anything, and we don't need you to do anything. As long as you have a good impression of our group, some of your inadvertent behaviors may have some positive effects on the whole incident.

  The 500,000 yuan is a drop in the bucket for sky-high compensation.

  Even if there is a slight influence, it is not a loss to us. "Balila Ska glanced around, lowered her voice,

   "Actually, even if you don't say anything, I think it's worth it."

  Luke thought about it. In fact, he has no negative impression of MGM and the hotel. The service, attitude, and environment are all good. The only dissatisfaction is that he lost three thousand dollars.

   As for the compensation mentioned by Barilla Ska, Luke can probably guess some of it. The gunman shot at the Mandalay Bay Hotel. The victims of the shooting and their families may file a claim against the hotel.

  Luke was a little curious, "How much will the victim claim from your hotel?"

  Balila Ska sighed, "The group lawyers estimate that the claim is at least one billion dollars, and may even be several billion dollars.

  We are not saying that there will be no compensation, but we hope that the compensation will be within a reasonable range. If our group and the insurance company are hollowed out according to their demands, they will not be able to satisfy them. "

   "I don't want to participate in the lawsuit between you, it has nothing to do with me." Luke was most afraid of trouble.

   "OK, that is your freedom, just like we are willing to give you a reward for your bravery, it is also our freedom."

  Luke was vaccinated in advance, "I asked for a bonus, and I might not speak well of your hotel."

  Barilla Ska joked, "I believe at least it's better than not taking it."

   "Half a million dollars?"

   "You protected the Mandalay Bay Hotel, and you deserve it."

   "After tax?"

"no problem."

   "Thank you for your generosity."

   "I wish you a speedy recovery." Barila Ska put down a few words, turned and left the ward.

  Luke smiled. The executive structure of this large group is different. They give money to themselves, not for anything else, just hope that they are happy.

  People give money to make him happy, but Luke can't think of a reason not to.

  To be honest, the case happened in a hurry, and Luke didn't expect the case to have such a big impact.

   Now that he has time, and seeing the attitude of the MGM Group, Luke has to think about how to maximize his benefits.

   First of all, this case takes place in Las Vegas instead of Los Angeles, which has both advantages and disadvantages for Luke.

  The advantage is that Luke's behavior will be defined as a righteous act, and he can naturally get a bonus from MGM.

  If this case happened in Los Angeles, it would be Luke's responsibility.

  Luke, as the police officer involved in the case, can't be said to have acted bravely, so it would be inappropriate to take money.

  Of course, if the case happened in Los Angeles, Luke would not be so embarrassed and had to run to the hospital to hide.

  The direct benefit that Luke can get from this shooting case is economic benefit, but Luke wants more than this.

  This shooting incident is the most injured in the history of the United States.

  As long as people mention shootings, they will definitely think of this incident.

   As the one who subdued the gunman, Luke can gain great prestige through this incident.

   Maybe even get a Medal of Courage or a Medal of Freedom.

   This depends on how to define Luke's behavior. He is a policeman. According to the previous practice, he should be awarded the Medal of Valor.

   But the problem is that Luke is not a Las Vegas policeman. He has no law enforcement power in Las Vegas, and it can also be said to be a personal act.

   The final decision is still in the hands of the Grand Commander.

  This is also the reason why Luke refused to sign the non-disclosure agreement. He was unwilling to harm his own interests for the benefit of the Las Vegas police.

   "Buzz." Luke's cell phone rang.

   It's a text message from Xiao Hei, 'Watch CFP News TV. '

   Luke turns on the TV and finds CFP News.

  A black female in business attire appeared on the screen, her voice choked up, "Hi everyone, I am a female reporter from CFP News TV station, Pari Jones.

  Presumably, all viewers have heard about the Las Vegas shooting. I have learned from many sources and investigated the latest developments in the shooting.

  According to the latest news, the number of casualties has exceeded 800. This is sad news.

  I feel the same as everyone else, the heart is extremely heavy, the cruelty of the shooter is outrageous. "

Pari Jones wiped away her tears and continued, "According to my understanding, the shooting happened at 10:06 last night. A gunman opened fire on the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay Hotel. I want to condemn him again. cruel.

  The gunmen used automatic weapons to massacre the crowd.

  Many unsung heroes appeared on the scene, and they offered to help those injured tourists.

  The shooting lasted for nine minutes, until a police officer broke into the room where the gunman was, the two exchanged fire, and the police officer wounded the gunman before stopping him from shooting the crowd.

   Subsequently, the gunman knew that he could not escape and committed suicide.

  According to top-secret information I have learned, this police officer is not a Las Vegas police officer.

   Instead, a Los Angeles police officer traveling in Las Vegas.

   It was he who prevented the further deterioration of the shooting case.

   I want to applaud this hero cop in Los Angeles.

  He is a hero.

  At the same time, I couldn't help but want to ask, how long has it been? What are the Las Vegas police doing?

  There are too many doubts in this case. We will continue to pay attention to this worst shooting incident in history and dig out the truth behind it.

  Please pay attention to the cfp news channel, I am reporter Pali Jones.

  After the news ended, Xiao Hei called, "Dude, what do you think?"

   "Isn't she in CBE TV? Changed jobs?"

   "Yes, she is a very thoughtful woman."

   "Does she know it's me?"

   "I haven't told her yet, but she keeps chasing me and asking. Should I tell her?"

   "Then it depends on her sincerity."

  Xiao Hei said, "She said that as long as she can confirm the authenticity of this news, she will pay me 20,000 US dollars as an informant.

   Also promised to give me another $20,000 just to name the officer. "

   "Too few, such a big news event, global attention, and first-hand news, at least 30,000 to 50,000. Only in this way can we be sincere."

  Xiao Hei was a little worried, "What if she doesn't give it?"

   "It's not just their TV station. It's motivated by competition. You can contact other TV stations."

  Xiao Hei asked back, "Is this okay?"

   "There's nothing wrong with it. Professional women like Pari Jones, the more you follow her, the less she will take you seriously.

  You should let her know that you are in charge of the relationship, not her. "

  Xiao Hei's eyes widened, and he nodded slowly, "You are right."

   "Man, come on, I like you."

  Luke laughed. In fact, he just realized it, and it happened to make Xiao Hei try it.

   Thanks for the reward from book friends
