Super Detective in the Fictional World

level.

However, transferring from HQ’s Detective Bureau to Brooklyn was in reality a significant drop in status and importance.

It was more like a transfer to suppress an opponent, but it was Brad who had proposed it.

Dustin said, “He said that I don’t have any practical experience in managing a department at a lower level, and I have to make up for this shortcoming before I can be promoted.”

Luke sneered when he heard that.
“Does Brad have a brain disability, or does he think you have one? He dares give you such a ridiculous reason.”

Dustin smiled bitterly.
“He probably thinks that I’ll agree as usual.”

Luke nodded in understanding.
“Who did he make a deal with?”

Dustin said, “I don’t know, but it’s an NYPD higher-up, and might be connected to a particular councilor.”

Luke asked, “What do you think?”

It actually wasn’t a big problem, but if Dustin didn’t want to fight it, it would be inconvenient for Luke to take action.

Dustin spread his hands.
“What else can I think? I can’t keep this position without backing.”

Luke chuckled.
“Boss, are you willing to give up on Brad now?”

Dustin smiled self-deprecatingly.
“I regard him as a good friend, but he doesn’t.”

Actually, he had noticed the change in Brad since he came to New York.

It wasn’t him forgetting his roots after achieving success; rather, it was the transformation from a police officer to a politician, where everything depended on interests.

It wasn’t a momentary impulse, nor was it something that could be affected by an old friendship.

He and Brad had known each other for so many years, but Dustin didn’t want to learn to prioritize benefits over all else.
He was unable to say anything, and they gradually grew apart.

It was partly due to talking with Luke.

When Luke wanted to give someone a mental suggestion, it wasn’t so easy; everything he said had to be based on facts and couldn’t be created out of nothing.

Dustin wasn’t really stupid.

Luke had just solidified his impression of Brad by bringing up things that Dustin hadn’t wanted to dwell on in the past.
Naturally, his “loyalty” to Brad faded.

Dustin was a good boss, and Luke wasn’t willing to switch bosses.

Even if he could shut up his new boss, a boss who was unhappy because he was forced to yield was far more inconvenient than a boss who took him into consideration.

Not all of Luke’s behavior was in keeping with a police officer’s code of conduct.

Dustin could help him withstand pressure and refuse an investigation by Internal Affairs, which was very convenient.

The position of chief inspector didn’t look impressive, but New York was under his jurisdiction, and New York was currently the center of a series of major events.

Luke was a civil servant and didn’t have a high rank.
He could appear anywhere in New York and not draw any attention.

His days were so smooth because he had someone to cover for him.

A certain tycoon was the opposite.

Tony had Stark Industries to protect him, but could he do whatever he wanted? Of course not.

The higher a person’s position in society, the more restrictions there were.

Jenny was becoming more and more powerful, but there were also more and more rules she had to follow when she did things.
Luke, on the other hand, didn’t have any of that.

That was because Jenny was the person who ran Titanium Phone Company, not Luke.

As he was thinking that, Luke smiled.
“Isn’t that enough? In any case, we’re going to fall out with him anyway, so why give up this position? If Brad wants it, he can get it fair and square.”
