The next morning, Locke received a call from Anna Davis, saying that the protection order for Locke’s family would end at 3 p.m.

The Thunder Operation against the Copernicus Organization by LAPD and DHS (Department of Homeland Security) would end at 12 noon. The list of people provided by the FBI had basically been arrested, except for those who had fled the United States from the US-Mexico border early when they saw that the situation was not right.

The remaining forces of the Copernicus Organization in the United States were uprooted this time and no longer had any soil for survival.

Anna Davis also notified Locke to go back to the Wilshire Police Department in the morning. Since the danger had been basically eliminated, she arranged the internal investigation procedure for Locke’s murder case in the morning, so that Locke could go to work normally next Monday.

As soon as Locke went out, William Tilton came out of the house next door, and he hurried to greet him.

The two shook hands, and William Tilton asked, “Locke, where are you going? Do you want to…” He shrugged and spread his hands, “You know, this is the procedure!” Locke smiled and replied, “Go back to the Wilshire Police Department. I have to go back to accept the investigation and questioning of this incident…” William Tilton’s expression was restrained. No one in the entire LAPD didn’t hate this set of procedures. He comforted him, “Don’t worry, you are definitely just going through a procedure this time!” Locke was not worried about the investigation this time. Those who were killed were all terrorists, and there was nothing to question at all. He asked, “Did you receive the notice?”

William Tilton nodded and said, “Yes, the protection order will end at 3 pm. We will escort you home then…”

Locke extended his hand to William Tilton, “Captain Tilton, thank you for your protection these two days. On behalf of my family, I pay my highest respects to you and the guys…”

William Tilton shook Locke’s hand and smiled, “It is our honor to protect a LAPD hero and his family. Thank you for your cooperation. This is an easy mission. Well, thank you for the pizza and hamburgers yesterday, the gorilla pizza, the five guys hamburgers, and the Starbucks coffee. There is no better mission than this…”

Locke and William Tilton left each other contact information and agreed to invite the team members to drink together later, and then got in the car and drove away from the Belmont community.

On the way to the Wilshire Police Station, Locke suddenly received a call from Victor Mendes.

Didn’t everything get done last night?

Last night, under the active attack of the FBI, Martin and his gang were directly blocked in the base, and the people were caught red-handed. Illegal automatic weapons and a large amount of drugs were found at the scene.

This morning, the FBI and LASP (Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Office) arrested the leaders of the Smith Family in Fullerton.

Locke answered the Bluetooth call and asked, “Victor, what’s up?”

Victor Mendes said in a slightly restrained voice, “Locke, I want to know about Sam’s situation. Uh, you know, Sam joined the Smith Family to help me. He was arrested by the FBI last night. I want to ask, can you get Sam out…”

Locke replied, “No problem, I’ll ask later… Wait, tell me about Sam’s situation…”

After Victor Mendes told him about Sam’s general situation, Locke frowned, “Are you sure you want to get him out?”

According to Victor’s description, Sam has been hanging around the streets since he was a child, but he didn’t join any gangs before. He helped the gangs with money and did odd jobs everywhere. He was a peripheral minions at the bottom of the gray world.

This time, in order to help Victor, he officially joined the Smith Family, but he was still just a low-level Karami.

Victor Mendes was puzzled and asked, “What’s the problem?”

Locke explained, “Little Karami like Sam, as long as there is no case, will not be detained for long and will be released. However, once you use your connections to get him out, his undercover identity will be exposed, and he will not be able to continue to mix in the gray world in the future, and he may even get killed…”

He asked, “Will Sam return to the repair shop to mix with you in the future?”

Victor Mendes had never really mixed in the gray world, but when Locke said this, he reacted instantly, “I invited him before, but he didn’t want to come to the repair shop…”

Locke understood it immediately and smiled, “Look, don’t worry too much. For people like Sam, going to prison is equivalent to further study. It can increase his resume, but you can ask his family to see him and see what he thinks.”

Victor Mendes said gratefully, “Locke, thank you, I will let Reid go to see him, when will you come to the repair shop?”

“Didn’t I say thank you last night? We are friends,You don’t have to be so polite…” Locke replied casually as he drove into Wilshire. He had already noticed the restraint in Victor Mendes’ words, which caught him off guard. After parking the car, he said, “You all know what happened in Los Angeles the day before yesterday. I’m on administrative leave now. I have something else to do this weekend, so I won’t be free until next week at the earliest. By then, the turbocharger drawings should be ready. Oh, by the way, Sarah must have been scared yesterday. Say hello to her for me!” “Victor, everything will be fine after the parking lot lawsuit is over. Come on! ”

The investigation process was exactly as Locke had guessed, and it was a complete formality. The questions asked were all from his notes.

After each session, the people involved in the investigation would pay their respects to him cordially.

This made Locke feel magical, and he felt that he had seen through the essence of LAPD operations.

However, it was obvious that most of the middle and lower levels of the police department still adhered to the honor and faith of LAPD.

For his heroic behavior the day before yesterday, they respected him and regarded him as a hero.

Yes, if the lower levels didn’t believe it, the team would really fall apart.

After completing the investigation process, Locke went to see Anna Davis again. He wanted to apply for an automatic rifle to carry with him. The HK416 was placed in the police car and had never been used. It was a waste.

If there was an HK416 in hand last time, Carl Rip would not have found out at all. The opportunity to fire rockets, the range of pistols is too short.

Although the United States does not ban guns, citizens can buy guns at will, but the management of guns is very strict.

What is open gun, concealed gun, etc., the policy of each state is different. Some 26 states in the United States do not require gun licenses, such as Florida.

For example, ordinary citizens cannot buy fully automatic rifles, but can only buy semi-automatic ones. Guns can only be placed at home or at the shooting range. Guns must be transported in the trunk and the guns and bullets must be separated.

This is why some people are accused of illegal possession of guns even though guns are legally bought and sold.

There are also strict rules and regulations for police officers to carry automatic rifles. Putting them in police cars and private cars when on duty is a completely different concept and requires strict review.

Anna Davis signed for Locke without much hesitation, and said regretfully: “I wanted to invite you to dinner this weekend, and Harry would also attend. I didn’t expect Marian to say that you were going back to Lebec…”

Locke smiled and said: “It’s not that there is no chance. This time, living in the safe house scared Jester. By the way, next time you are free, you can go to Lebec together. The scenery there is really nice. Marcy will like it there. You can ride horses…” After Locke left, Anna Davis had the same idea again. Perhaps, she could test Marian first.
