Locke replied, “No, it’s perfect. I went to see it this morning. The cement has dried!”

Nathan smiled and said, “We used quick-drying cement, so of course it’s dried. Let’s go and see how it works!”

Originally, after buying the materials, Nathan wanted him and Locke to build this outdoor barbecue stove by themselves. After all, labor is expensive in the United States, and most people do this kind of work by themselves.

But Locke backed out immediately when he heard that he had to dig the soil, mix cement, and lay bricks. He didn’t have this skill, so he used his frying ability directly.

What a joke, he is now worth over 100 million.

Locke immediately called Eldo Madridio, the Mexican cleaner he used last time, and wanted him to introduce two construction workers.

Unexpectedly, after hearing his request, Eldo Madridio immediately said that he could do this job. In addition to being a cleaner, he is also a builder.

Locke immediately thought of a saying circulating in Los Angeles that Mexicans in the United States are embarrassed to say that they are Mexicans if they don’t have two or three skills.

The almighty old Mexican!

So Eldo Madridio and his family came again, but this time the hot young Mexican woman did not come, but a Mexican aunt with a barrel waist came.

Nathan went back to his old job and negotiated with Eldo Madridio. After some bargaining, the project finally reached a consensus of 900 US dollars.

In fact, Nathan still felt that the price was a bit high, but Locke did not want to waste time on this matter and directly stopped their bargaining.

Then Locke handed the matter directly to Nathan, and he took Jennifer Gray to Target to prepare for today’s party and purchase ingredients and drinks.

There was a little accident when building the barbecue stove yesterday.

After Eldo Madridio dug up the turf, he found that the soil underneath was loose, and said that it was not recommended to build a barbecue stove directly like this, otherwise the land would sink due to the condensation of the soil after a while, and the stove would crack at that time.

So they had to tamp the soil underneath first, and then lay a layer of concrete. Fortunately, they used quick-drying cement, which did not delay the construction of the barbecue stove on the same day.

The backyard has changed a lot. The grass where the body was buried before has been built into a 1.5m*1.5m square barbecue stove with red fire bricks in the middle, surrounded by a circle of rattan woven sofas.

There is also a platform built next to it to place ingredients, ice buckets, or barbecue stoves.

Nathan touched the cement between the firebricks and nodded with satisfaction, “Very good, it’s all done, I’ll light the fire first…”

At this time, the sound of the engine came from the front, and Locke hurriedly said, “I’ll go see who’s coming!”

The first to arrive was Randy. When he saw Jennifer Gray, he pretended not to know her and screamed, “Locke, you actually found a Hollywood star! OMG!”

Jennifer Gray looked at Randy with a smile on her face, “I remember you. If you hadn’t instigated Locke that night, he wouldn’t have come to me so quickly!”

Randy shrugged, “Wow, you are worthy of being a top student at Harvard. Your memory is amazing. I have to say that you and Locke are a perfect match. Seeing you two, I finally know what golden boy and jade girl mean!”

In the interval of greeting Randy, Superintendent Mona and Elsa also came over. They were in the same car.

Then came Teddy and his white girlfriend Judy, David, Mark, and Weilun.

Everyone parked their cars outside on the road, and Locke didn’t ask if they wanted to park in the underground garage.

Anyway, his villa was already at the innermost end of the Cortina community, and basically no cars would come, so it wouldn’t affect other people’s traffic.

Locke originally thought that David would bring Catherine Murphy with him, after all, they all knew each other.

And Catherine had been fighting with corpses in this villa for more than 20 hours, so she should be happy to revisit the old place, but he thought too much.

Locke and Jennifer first led everyone to visit upstairs and downstairs, which made everyone amazed. After all, that night, they just searched once and didn’t have such a formal visit.

Back on the first floor, Superintendent Mona sighed: “No wonder Locke is tempted. If it were me, I wouldn’t care about those things. It’s worth it!” Randy exclaimed: “Wow, you can actually afford this house!” Superintendent Mona gave him a middle finger and shrugged: “Well, I may never be able to afford this villa in my lifetime!” Elsa looked at the graceful Jennifer Grey who had been leaning on Locke, and she couldn’t help but feel ashamed and put away all her thoughts about Locke. The table in the living room was filled with gifts brought by everyone, most of which were wine. Randy gave champagne, Mona and Elsa gave red wine, David, Mark, Wei Lun and the other two gave them whiskeys, which should have been bought from the same place.

Teddy was the most creative, giving them an X Box Series X, and he even opened and installed it very familiarly, ready to play with his girlfriend Judy.

At this time, David asked, “Why don’t you see Nathan?”

Locke hugged Jennifer Gray and replied, “He is making a fire in the backyard. He and Martha got there before you…”

“Fuck, you really built a stove there!”

Randy screamed and rushed to the backyard.

Soon everyone sat around the barbecue stove, watching the various barbecues sizzling on the barbecue net in the middle, holding beer bottles with different expressions, and felt that it was hard to swallow.

Superintendent Mona said speechlessly: “I must be crazy to play with you!”

Teddy was excited, hugged Judy and smiled: “Don’t you think this is cool?”

Randy stepped on his feet twice and nodded in agreement: “It’s really cool. It would be even cooler if he hadn’t been poached! I poached him myself…”

Elsa cursed directly: “Fuck, can you not talk about this? You don’t want me to pour beer on your head…”

Randy pretended to be heartbroken, “Elsa, you actually did this to me!”

David looked at the Budweiser in his hand and asked with a tangled face: “Do you think we should fall to the ground after the first sip?”

“… ”

Locke had to speak up, dissatisfied: “Hey, guys, there’s nothing down here, you’re all cops, please don’t look like this, last time in Gaviotas State Forest Park, I was having breakfast with the FBI next to the corpse!”

Jennifer Gray looked at everyone curiously and asked, “Can I know what happened?”

Locke looked at her in astonishment, “Didn’t I tell you the origin of this villa?”

He suddenly remembered that the last time he brought Jennifer Gray in, the two of them kept fucking, and then they lay on the bed and ordered furniture and household items online, as if he had never told her the history of this villa.

Jennifer Gray shook her head and said, “No, it’s not too late to tell her now!”

Locke didn’t tell his girlfriend the story of this house, and everyone immediately showed an expression of watching a good show, after all, no woman would not care about such things.

Locke glanced at everyone, saw their reactions in his eyes, but was not panicked at all.

If Jennifer Grey was afraid of this, she wouldn’t be a doctor. With her scientific research spirit, she would probably want to see his fictional ghost just like Katherine Murphy.

Seeing that Martha and Judy were also curious, he asked Nathan and Thaddeus, “You didn’t tell them either?”

“No…”

Nathan shrugged his shoulders and apologized to Martha first, “I’m afraid she will be afraid…”

Teddeus’s white girlfriend looked silly and asked Thaddeus, “What’s the matter?”

Teddeus hugged her and kissed her, signaling her to stay calm, and then urged Locke, “Locke, hurry up and start the theme of today’s party!”
