North America’s toughest police: starting with the Los Angeles Patrol

When they were about to arrive at Beverly Hills, Locke hesitated again and again, but was ready to talk about the money. After all, he was going to use the private money at first. 3.6 million US dollars was not a small amount.

He turned his head and glanced at Marian, “Mum, about the money…”

“You don’t have to worry about the money…”

Mary Ann leaned on Li Bo and said with ease: “Your two bonuses from the FBI add up to 1 million, plus this check from Love, it’s 2 million. Glenn said that you reported Henry Cavill, and the IRS (Internal Revenue Service) will have an informant reward, at least hundreds of thousands. My father and I will also support some, and your father will make a loan application for the rest. I know a branch manager of Wells Fargo Bank, who lends quickly. You can help us deduct hundreds of thousands of taxes when you buy a house this time…”

She stood up and exclaimed in disbelief: “Todd, I really can’t believe it, we It took less than an hour to decide to buy a house worth 3.6 million…”

Li Bo was also amazed and shrugged, saying, “This does sound a bit unbelievable, but Locke has already understood the background of the house. Let me remind you that before officially signing the contract, you still have to make sure that the house is not involved in any lawsuit…”

Marian glared at him dissatisfiedly, “Don’t question my professionalism…”

“Wait…”

Locke turned his head and looked at Marian, “I just seemed to hear about the IRS reward, how come I didn’t know?”

For reporting tax evasion, the IRS will reward the reporter with 15-30% of the tax collected, and the annual reward given by the IRS is usually around 1 billion US dollars.

There are even professional bounty hunters who specialize in reporting tax evasion, and the average income is about hundreds of thousands of US dollars a year.

Well, for example, a bank employee in Switzerland reported his company’s tax evasion and received a reward of nearly 100 million US dollars, which helped the IRS recover billions of US dollars in losses.

In fact, according to regulations, the IRS bonus is capped, and the upper limit cannot exceed 20 million US dollars.

The large bonuses in the history of IRS were all negotiated in advance.

A host reported a star. According to the IRS’s reward ratio, he can get at least 120 million and a maximum of 249 million.

Marian looked innocent, “Didn’t Glenn tell you?”

“…”

Locke immediately guessed what was going on, curled his lips, but felt warm in his heart. It seems that this time he doesn’t need to use the money in the storage space at all.

After a while, he said: “Todd, Marian, thank you!!! ”

It’s not an exaggeration to say that father’s love is like a mountain and mother’s love is like the sea to support him to buy such an expensive house.

Li Bo reached out his hand and squeezed his shoulder. “Since you have decided to buy a house, your mother and I will certainly support you. This house is really good and it is a bargain. But, Locke, are you sure it is okay for you to live there alone?”

Locke knew what Li Bo was asking and shrugged, “When I join the detective bureau, I will have more opportunities to deal with corpses…”

Marianne asked, “How do you solve the ghost story? Ask a priest to exorcise the evil spirits? Or, Todd, how about you go to Chinatown and ask a wizard…”

“…”

Locke remembered that Marian was so scared by the ghost story that she went to sleep with Hannah. She was obviously very taboo about this, but she was the first to support him, and he felt guilty.

He was stunned for a moment, pulled over, and turned his head to apologize with a face full of shame: “I’m sorry, Marian, I lied to you. I made up the ghost story last time. At that time, I searched for Anna and Nathan and used some illegal means. I accidentally discovered the crime in the F-10-09 villa. In order to justify myself, I made up this ghost story…”

Marian and Li Bo looked at each other. Marian said in disbelief: “So, you deceived everyone?”

Locke nodded and confessed: “If I tell the truth, my confession will be full of loopholes in court, so I can only make up a ghost story, so that my confession cannot be used…”

Marian sighed and shouted happily: “So this villa is just a place where people died, not haunted!”

Li Bo frowned and asked: “What illegal means did you use?”

“Stop ! ”

Mary said solemnly: “Dear, this matter ends here, and we have to pretend that we don’t know…”

Li Bo also reacted and apologized: “OK, my fault, end here!”

Marianne stared at Locke with a stern face and asked: “Locke, I am very happy to hear that there is no dirt in this house, but next you need to think about how to compensate for your deception to me, you really scared me…”

Locke looked guilty and turned to Li BoAsk for help, “Didn’t you say that this matter ends here?”

Li Bo looked helpless and shook his head and said, “Locke, you really went too far in this matter! Don’t you know that your mother never watches supernatural movies? You even made up a ghost story to lie to her…”

Locke hurriedly said, “Then I’ll take care of dinner later…”

Marian nodded and smiled, “Very good, this is a good start, but it’s not enough…”

Locke’s face was immediately full of bitterness. He really has no experience in coaxing women!

Women have always been the ones who throw themselves at him!

…

The next morning, not long after Locke arrived at the police station, he was called into the office by Anna Davis.

She asked directly, “How is it? Are you nervous?”

Locke knew that she was asking about the court tomorrow. The case in which he rescued Anna Davis and Nathan and killed four members of the Copernicus organization will be officially opened tomorrow.

He said easily, “It should be no problem!”

Marian has hired an experienced criminal defense lawyer for him. In addition, the terrorist attack launched by Johnny Dyson in Los Angeles last week has made the Copernicus organization a more real terrorist organization, so the court tomorrow should be just a formality.

Anna Davis said disappointedly: “I thought you would be nervous, so I was going to tell you a good news…”

Locke stared at her for a few seconds and asked tentatively: “Is Jeff the judge tomorrow?”

Anna Davis was startled and shrugged: “Okay, you are worthy of being a detective soon. Okay, you can go!”

Locke couldn’t help laughing. Jeff Davis was the judge tomorrow, which was really foolproof.

He stood up and said: “Anna, thank Jeff for me!”

After all, Jeff Davis was involved in this case. The person Locke saved was his wife. If the judge was careful about his feathers, he would avoid it.

Anna Davis replied: “After the court, you can talk to him yourself!”

Locke waved and walked out of the office. Anna Davis watched him leave with a hesitant look, but she didn’t say anything in the end.

After leaving the office, Locke’s expression was restrained. Through L2’s micro-expression analysis, Anna seemed to have something to ask him, but she didn’t say it in the end.

He shrugged. Since he didn’t say anything, it shouldn’t be an important matter.

As soon as he went downstairs, Inspector Edmund of the detective team came over and said, “Locke, the gun you dropped into the Los Angeles River yesterday was salvaged by firefighters. I sent it to the equipment department for maintenance. You can pick it up before you go out on duty…” Locke said gratefully, “Thank you, Inspector Edmund!” Inspector Edmund smiled and said, “You’re welcome. I heard that you will take the detective exam at the end of the month?” Locke nodded and said, “Yes, thank you for your previous guidance!” He had previously consulted Inspector Edmund about what materials he needed to review for the detective exam. Inspector Edmund was surprised and said, “I didn’t expect you to review so quickly. I prepared for the detective exam for half a year. Come on! I look forward to you joining the detective bureau, Locke!” “Thank you, I also look forward to working with you!” Locke sent Inspector Edmund to the door. Inspector Edmund was sure that he would join the detective bureau, so he established a good relationship in advance. He did not ask about Daisy Greenberg’s case, although he was indeed very curious. Both car accidents were accidents, which reminded him of another profession in the gray world that was as famous as the scavenger. He was more curious, why would someone want to kill an autistic person?

Well, actually, he felt that Daisy Greenberg was not just autistic, this woman had self-destructive tendencies.
