Chapter 6 Paid Leave
I sorted out the things at home, including my parents’ clothes, and donated them directly. I also donated some of my own clothes. He now wears a police uniform most of the time.
He usually only wears jeans, leather jackets, and T-shirts for rest. Because of his strong body, the winter in New York has no impact on him at all, and it is also in line with the dressing habits of people here.
Link is reducing the burden of moving, such as electrical appliances, and he doesn't even know how to carry kitchen utensils.
The things he organizes the most are photos. He will not throw them away. After all, they occupy everything of the original owner. He always wants to leave traces of his family's existence, and at the same time, it also gives him a sense of existence.
He carefully sorted out these photos and bought a lot of photo albums to put them in. When he goes to his new home, he can use some photo frames to decorate the home.
In the future, when he has children, he will also give them a place of origin. This is something that is deeply rooted in the Chinese people's bones, especially since Link came here halfway.
There isn't much left. For example, most of the things the original owner had when he was a child will be thrown away or donated.
In the end, he kept the tableware and tea sets. These were carefully matched by the original owner's mother, so he was not willing to throw them away. They were very exquisite.
…
"Link, you need to come to the bureau." The captain called Link.
Link was very surprised that instead of telling him to go back to work, he went to the branch. Is there any change in this matter?
Riding his motorcycle, he walked to the West Central City Branch and found that government affairs, labor unions, and lawyers were all there. Link asked strangely: "Is it because the on-site investigation results are inconsistent with what I said?"
"No!" The captain asked him to sit down. "Your matter has been investigated clearly. There are no problems. 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 what had happened, "I'm not afraid of them, and I'm in a group by myself, so I won't hurt my colleagues. Just 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 man also spoke, "Morale is already low. If something happens to you again, the morale of the entire New York police will be gone."
There is a thorn in this statement, but no one here is 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 added: "The general administration's opinion is to let you take a paid leave. You must know that many people in our branch have not taken a leave in several years. After you take this leave, it will be difficult for you to have the opportunity in the future."
Well, we are so short of staff!
Link laughed and said, "Okay, I'm willing to take a vacation, just so I want to go to Las Vegas, which I've never been to before."
"Besides, I don't need protection, but since they want to take revenge on me, why haven't they done anything yet?"
The captain explained: "The Russian gang went into full-scale war with them because a group of their girls were robbed by the other side. On the night of the shootout, they disguised themselves as players and made phone calls to fish them out."
"The fighting between the two sides is very fierce now. To tell the secret, we are preparing 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 calling the shots in New York."
Link nodded to express his understanding!
He left the branch and took half a month's paid leave. Anyway, he had nothing to lose, but these guys still didn't know how powerful they were. He should deal with them later. …
When he got home, looking at the things he had sorted, he laughed again and said exaggeratedly: "Is my super power luck?"
He directly searched for casino hotels in Las Vegas, found the most luxurious one, and booked a mid-range room, which was in line with his identity and work.
He immediately ordered an afternoon ticket and set off with a travel bag.
We arrived in Las Vegas in the evening, took a taxi from the airport, and saw the city's dazzling neon lights along the way. Now the day's life here has just begun.
When he checked into the hotel, he actually didn't have much money left. He was originally waiting for his salary, but now he couldn't afford the rent, but it didn't matter at all. He had hundreds of dollars in cash in his hand.
Link doesn't use credit cards. Although he has one, it belongs to the original owner, but he tries not to use it now. There are too many credit card traps, loan traps, etc. from banks!
He likes to save money, so what if the interest rate is low?
Of course, maybe he could buy some stocks and leave it alone, but he has no money right now.
I went to a restaurant to have a luxurious meal. There was everything to eat, drink and have fun here, so I just recorded it.
Link then went directly to the casino and exchanged three hundred US dollars in chips, each of which was ten US dollars.
Afterwards, he walked around here for a while. He wanted to see what he could do well. After all, he couldn't attract too much attention. Of course, he definitely wanted to win more.
It's not easy to do it once, but you have to do some cover-up and become a lucky person.
After going around in a circle, he came to the betting table. This was very simple, and there were many people gathered, so he could make some money first.
He checked with X-ray vision and found that there were no traps in the casino, so he started playing with confidence.
Press high and low, this is very simple. Every time before opening the cup, the probability of opening is 50-50. He presses with five chips every time. He loses less and wins more, and soon accumulated thousands of dollars.
He asked the dealer to change the chips, each worth a hundred dollars, so the number of chips became dozens.
He just grabbed it in his hand and left. He wanted to change his game. Blackjack would be good.
The original owner studied psychology at university. After graduation, he did not become a psychiatrist but became a police officer. Psychology is also useful for the police profession.
It was assigned to the General Bureau during the allocation, which is very telling, but Link doesn't care much about this aspect.
Moreover, if he had let the prosecutor go that day, his instructor would have had reasons to fire him. It was hard to say exactly what happened.
…
He came late today, and Link didn't have long to play, but he already had more than 20,000 US dollars in chips, which he deposited directly in the casino, so he went back to rest empty-handed.
After enjoying the high-end bathtub here, he went to bed early. He will have a good time starting tomorrow.
Early the next morning, after breakfast, Link rented a hotel car and driver and took him around Las Vegas. In fact, there wasn’t much to see. Most of them were hotels. This was in the desert. cities built in.
We returned to the hotel at noon, ordered a big meal, and went to the swimming pool to spend the afternoon.
