Chapter 14: I Became a Trainee Instructor?
After driving back to the police station to report the incident, the two went to the hospital to visit Ottilia.
The frail policewoman sighed.
"Ethan, I got injured on my first day working with you. I don't know if it's bad luck or if you've cursed me."
"..."
Ottilia laughed.
"But congratulations on winning first place. I heard that you shot down that former SEAL."
"Just lucky."
"There aren't that many lucky coincidences, and Evelyn hasn't had a single lucky break."
Evelyn was initially saddened, given that her instructor had been injured, but she became annoyed when she heard that she was being used to criticize others.
"Ottilia, you're so mean! I tried my best too."
"Yes, yes, I know that hard work can make me stand on my own. I'll be recuperating for about half a month, and I guess you'll be reassigned. Evelyn, you need to be serious with your new instructor. Not every instructor is as responsible as me."
Evelyn lowered her head when she heard that they had to part ways. They had been a team for more than a month, and her partner had taken care of her like an older sister. No matter what the reason for taking care of her was, she was very reluctant to leave.
There's also Ethan Lee, who only teamed up for one day. Although he dares to fight himself, he's definitely reliable.
She knew very well that some second-level police officers were just slackers, good at accumulating experience and issuing tickets, but reliable instructors had already been assigned to probation, unlike the two who made her feel safe.
"I will. You take good care of yourself."
.
After leaving the hospital, the two went home separately, and Li Yisen lay in the bathtub looking at the system notifications.
[Ding! Congratulations, host, for capturing a drug dealer carrying 10 kilograms of heroin. Case participation rate: 30%. Three-star reward.]
(Note: Participation level depends on factors such as the number of prisoners arrested or killed, and whether it is within the command structure.)
First-generation heroin?
Li Yisen couldn't help but take it seriously; he never imagined it was 10 kilograms of heroin.
"It wasn't fentanyl after all."
At this time, fentanyl gradually took over America's market share due to its high efficacy, low price, and easy concealment.
The price is $15 to $50 per gram, while heroin is $60 to $100 per gram.
Five kilograms is worth between 600,000 and 1 million. This is just a single bulk smuggling operation with such value. It seems that this drug trafficking group is not simple. Of course, if it were simple, there wouldn't be former Navy SEALs involved.
Lee Esen continued reading.
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have acquired a three-star skill: Advanced Marksmanship.]
[Advanced Marksmanship (3 stars): This is the marksmanship honed over years by a Navy SEAL. Within 100 meters, it guarantees a 100% hit rate on the chest and head of stationary human targets, and a 50% hit rate on moving targets. Agility +1]
[Jack: This shot will blow your head off.]
"That's interesting."
Lee Ethan picked up the pistol next to the bathtub and aimed it at an object 50 meters away. He had a gut feeling that he could hit it even if it moved slowly.
It should be noted that his original marksmanship was such that he might not be able to hit a stationary target's head even at a distance of 30 meters. His marksmanship was already quite outstanding among his peers.
"Another step towards becoming inhuman."
【Strength: 14】
[Endurance: 13]
[Agility: 13]
【Spirit: 19】
The more Lee looked at the skills, the more he regretted not saving the skill-based one-star rewards to upgrade his advanced marksmanship.
Despite his regret, he now considers another reward.
[Ding, one human has been killed. The victim is under evaluation. He was a former Navy SEAL, with above-average physical condition, and held a significant position in the drug trafficking network. His final evaluation is 2 stars.]
[Ding! Obtained a 2-star weapon, HK MP5 submachine gun]
[HK MP5 submachine gun: Uses 9mm ammunition, rate of fire 800 rounds per minute, 30-round magazine, effective range 200 meters, equipped with a suppressor.]
When Lee Ethan saw the MP5 submachine gun, he immediately thought of a game he played in his previous life. This thing was known as the "King of Submachine Guns," and many counter-terrorism teams used this submachine gun.
"Is it really that good?"
Lee Esen picked up the soup that Kaiya brought him and drank it all in one gulp. As a detective, she had to work overtime today to follow up on a drug trafficking case and had already contacted the county narcotics investigation bureau. Unlike them, the patrol officers could leave work "on time".
Li Yisen's so-called punctuality means working only 1 to 2 hours of overtime each day, totaling about 500 hours per year.
In the eyes of these police officers who have resigned themselves to their fate, only working more than 1000 hours of overtime per year is considered real overtime, after all, there is one in a thousand "kings" who work 2000 hours of overtime per year.
The problem stems from insufficient police resources, especially in Los Angeles. In Clermont, the police-to-citizen ratio is as high as 1:300, which is considered quite good. In other places, the ratio is generally as high as 1:400.
[In this major Eastern country, the police-to-citizen ratio is 1:600, but this only includes regular police officers; auxiliary police officers are not included.]
Unbeknownst to Lee Ethan, the city's gangs were beginning to stir because he had killed a drug dealer that day, and this was no ordinary low-level member.
......
The next morning, in the meeting room of the third patrol group, Li Yisen sat in his seat from the day before and found that many of his colleagues were quite polite to him today. Was this a change brought about by his combat record?
Lee Ethan suddenly noticed that Evelyn, who was standing next to him, had dark circles under her eyes. It seemed that this rookie was still affected by yesterday's gunfight.
"Evelyn, how about we try some therapy?"
Evelyn quickly shook her head. It would be so embarrassing if others knew that she was so stressed out after just one gunfight, even though she hadn't been hit by a single shot.
"I'm fine, it's just that I'm not used to DOWNIA's pillow. I can get a good night's sleep if I switch back to Shidana's."
Li Yisen was speechless. It turned out that this person with connections was a rich woman. The former was a high-end pillow brand in Australia, with a pillow costing $500, and the latter was a Hungarian brand, with a pillow costing $1000.
Evelyn suddenly remembered something and whispered.
"Um, the superintendent just spoke with me..."
Before Evelyn could finish speaking, a trainee police officer named Logan Chapman interrupted her.
"Ethan, I heard that you were incredibly powerful in yesterday's shootout with the drug dealers, taking down a former Navy SEAL. These killing machines are known for taking on 10 at a time."
"Just lucky."
Lee Ethan looked at the policewoman who seemed to want to say something but hesitated.
"What did you just say?"
"No, it's nothing."
Soon, Andrew Bailey, the leader of Patrol Group 3, walked in with the documents.
"Yesterday there was a gunfight with drug dealers. Two of our colleagues were killed, six were injured, two criminals were killed, and two were arrested. Our new colleague, Ethan Lee, performed exceptionally well, killing a former Navy SEAL. The chief just praised our team, saying we did a great job."
As soon as he finished speaking, all the police officers looked at the newcomer, and even some senior officers (whose shoulder insignia consisted of two diagonal stripes and a four-pointed star) muttered to themselves.
"Now he's really become a celebrity."
Andrew Bailey said again.
"The Narcotics Bureau has instructed our police station to crack down on the local drug trafficking network these days. Everyone should memorize the list in the document. If you encounter a target, question them immediately and arrest them under any pretext."
"Yes."
Andrew Bailey looked at Evelyn.
"Evelyn, Ottilia is temporarily hospitalized. During this time, Ethan will serve as your trainee instructor."
This statement immediately sparked a heated discussion, and Li Yisen, who was reading the documents, widened his eyes in surprise.
"Sir, that's not right. I'm only a Level 1 police officer. How can I be a trainee instructor?"
"Your abilities have been recognized by us. Most importantly, I asked Ottilia, and your performance on patrol is no worse than anyone else's. In addition, Evelyn said that you cooperate very well with her, so I made this arrangement."
Evelyn? Good teamwork?
The teamwork there was pretty good?
Evelyn lowered her head, not daring to touch him, her fingers intertwined as she whispered an explanation.
"I'm just... just telling the truth."
Li Yisen was convinced; he didn't want to carry such a burden while handling cases, as it would significantly slow down his arrest efficiency.
Andrew Bailey brought the conversation to a close.
"Alright, that's the arrangement. Officer Ethan, give it a try and see. If it's not suitable, I can arrange something else."
"Yes."
Li Yisen had no choice but to obey; otherwise, he shouldn't think that making a little contribution would give him the right to defy his superior.
