Chapter 6 Paid Vacation
He sorted out the things at home, donated his parents' clothes and other things, and donated some of his own clothes. He now wears police uniforms most of the time.
He usually wears jeans, leather jackets, and T-shirts for rest. Because of his strong body, the winter in New York has no effect on him, and it also conforms to the dressing habits of people here.
Link is reducing the burden of moving, such as not moving electrical appliances, and he will not even carry kitchen utensils.
He sorted out the most photos, and he would not throw them away. After all, they occupied everything of the original owner, and they always had to leave traces of their existence for their family, and at the same time, they also gave him a sense of existence.
He carefully sorted out these photos, and bought a lot of photo albums to put them up. When he moved to the new home, he could use some photo frames to decorate the house.
In the future, when he has children, he will also give them a place to go. This is something that is deeply rooted in the bones of Chinese people, especially since Link came here halfway.
There are not many things left, such as most of the original owner's childhood things that have to be thrown away or donated.
In the end, he did keep the tableware and tea sets. These were carefully matched by the original owner's mother, so he was reluctant to throw them away. They were very exquisite.
…
"Link, you have to come to the bureau." The captain called Link.
Link was very surprised. He was not notified to go back to work, but to go to the branch. Is there any change in this matter?
Riding on a motorcycle, he came to the West Midtown Branch and found that the government affairs, unions, and lawyers were all there. Link asked curiously: "Is the on-site investigation result inconsistent with what I said?"
"No!" The captain asked him to sit down, "Your case has been investigated clearly, there is no problem, and you should have resumed work today."
"But..."
The captain looked at him and then said: "The Irish gang sent a message to deal with you. This is a provocation to us."
"..." Link suddenly realized that this matter, "I am not afraid of them, and I am in a group by myself, and I will not implicate my colleagues. Let them come to me."
"No, Link, this is not a matter of one person." The person from the Ministry of Internal Affairs stood up and said: "This is a provocation to the entire New York police. We will never allow this to happen."
"Yes!" The union also spoke, "The morale is already low. If you get into trouble again, the morale of the entire New York police will be gone."
There is a thorn in his words, but the people here are not responsible for the salary issue, so it is useless for him to be thorny.
The lawyer said, "You have the right to apply for protection."
The captain said, "The opinion of the General Administration is to give you paid leave. You should know that many people in our branch have not had a leave for several years. After you take this leave, it will be difficult to have a chance in the future."
Okay, the staff shortage is so severe!
Link laughed and said, "Okay, I am willing to take a leave. It just so happens that I want to go to Las Vegas, where I have never been."
"In addition, I don't need protection, but since they want to retaliate against me, why haven't they made any moves until now?"
The captain explained, "The Russian gang went to war with them because a group of their girls were robbed by the other side. On the night of the gunfight, they disguised themselves as players and called to lure people out."
"Now the two sides are fighting very fiercely. Let me tell you a secret. We are going to take action against the Irish. At that time, a large number of police officers will be temporarily seconded to let them know who is in charge in New York."
Link nodded to show that he understood!
He left the branch and took a half-month paid leave. Anyway, he didn't lose anything, but these guys still didn't know how powerful they were. He would deal with them later.
…
After returning home, he laughed again as he looked at the things he had sorted out, and said exaggeratedly: "Is my superpower luck?"
He looked up the casino hotels in Las Vegas directly, found the most luxurious one, and booked a mid-range room, which was in line with his identity and job.
He immediately ordered a flight ticket for the afternoon, and he set off with a travel bag.
He arrived in Las Vegas at night, took a taxi from the airport, and saw the dazzling neon lights of the city along the way. Now the day's life here has just begun.
He didn't have much money when he checked into the hotel. He was waiting for his salary, but now he couldn't even afford the room rent. But it didn't matter at all, he had a few hundred dollars in cash in his hand.
Link didn't use a credit card. Although he had one, it was from the original owner, but he tried not to use it now. There were too many credit card traps, loan traps, etc. in the bank!
He liked to save money, even if the interest rate was low, so what?
Of course, maybe he could buy some stocks and leave them alone, but he didn't have money now.
He went to the restaurant for a luxurious meal. There was food, drink, and entertainment here, so he just kept a record.
Link then went straight to the casino and exchanged three hundred dollars worth of chips, each chip was ten dollars.
Then he strolled around here, he wanted to see what he should play, after all, he couldn't be too conspicuous, of course he must win more.
It's not easy to come here once, but he also has to do some concealment and become a lucky person.
After a circle, he came to the table for gambling on big and small, which was very simple, and there were many people gathered, so he could make some money first.
He checked with his X-ray vision and found that the casino had no traps, so he started playing without hesitation.
Bet big or down, this is very simple. Before each opening, the probability is 50-50. He bet five chips every time, and won more than lost. Soon he had accumulated several thousand dollars.
He asked the dealer to change the chips, each chip was 100 dollars, so the chips became only dozens.
He took it and left. He wanted to change the way to play, and 21 points would be good.
The original owner studied psychology in college. After graduation, he did not become a psychologist, but a policeman. Psychology is also useful for the police profession.
He was assigned to the General Administration when he was assigned, which is very telling, but Link didn't care much about this aspect.
And if he had let the prosecutor go that day, his instructor would have a reason to expel him. It's hard to say how this happened.
...
Today, Link arrived late, so he didn't play for long, but he already had more than 20,000 US dollars in chips, which he deposited directly in the casino, and went back to rest empty-handed.
He enjoyed the high-end bathtub here, and then fell asleep early. He would have a good time starting tomorrow.
The next morning, after breakfast, Link rented the hotel's car and driver to take him to Las Vegas. In fact, there was not much to see, most of them were hotels. This was a city built in the desert.
At noon, he returned to the hotel, ordered a big meal, and went to the swimming pool to kill time in the afternoon.
