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

The relaxed atmosphere in the conference room froze instantly.

The smile on Liv’s face quickly disappeared. She looked at Locke in astonishment and turned to look at her boss, Inspector Hunter.

Inspector Hunter looked away from his phone and looked at Locke in surprise. A strange color flashed in his eyes. He wondered why Locke answered like that?

He thought Locke would lie to deal with this inquiry, but he didn’t expect that he actually admitted it.

Anna Davis stared at Locke with a frown. She thought this inquiry was just a formality.

After a short silence, Liv asked again: “Can you tell me why you went to the vicinity of the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center?”

Locke glanced at Anna Davis and said: “Commander, if it involves something that cannot be said, please stop me…”

Anna Davis nodded expressionlessly, but she began to suspect that Jack Spalding was killed by Locke in her heart.

Locke said frankly, “I was on an undercover mission some time ago. That morning, I went to BBCM Dessert Shop to buy desserts for my girlfriend during the undercover mission. At that time, we stayed at the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills…” He looked at Anna Davis again and apologized, “Sorry, Commander, I violated the rules and turned on my own mobile phone. That day, I suddenly missed my ex-girlfriend. Uh, I don’t know if it’s because of the psychological pressure of being an undercover. By the way, my ex-girlfriend is a thoracic surgeon at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center Hospital. Her name is Jennifer Gray, so I called her across the street from the hospital and asked her to stand by the window so that I could take a few glances…” Liv’s face relaxed instantly, and Locke’s tone was natural and sincere, without a trace of falsehood. She nodded in understanding and said, “Undercovers are under a lot of pressure. Locke, what time was your call?” Locke replied, “Around 9 o’clock, I can’t remember, there should be a call record…” As he said that, he took out his phone and flipped through it, “Found it, 9:25…” Liv’s face was like a roller coaster, and she became serious again. She turned her head and said to Inspector Hunter in a deep voice, “Jack Spalding was killed at this time…” Inspector Hunter curled his lips. He already knew what Locke wanted to do. This was because he didn’t want to be used against him, although he did have this idea. He originally thought that Locke would lie directly, so his location record of Locke’s mobile phone was a handle that could be used to control him. He used the latest FBI equipment at the time, which could track the mobile terminal signal receiver, even if Locke set up call forwarding. But he didn’t expect Locke, this bastard, to tell the truth directly and didn’t give him a chance at all. He was really cunning. Seeing that Inspector Hunter still had no intention of speaking, Liv could only continue to ask: “Locke, did you notice anything unusual at the scene?”

Locke shook his head and said: “No, I was only talking to Jennifer Gray at the time and didn’t notice anything unusual…”

He pushed the phone to Liv, “By the way, I knew that Jack Spalding was killed, and it was Inspector Hunter who notified me!”

Liv looked down and saw that it was indeed the mobile phone number of her boss. She looked at Inspector Hunter suspiciously.

Inspector Hunter didn’t tell her about this.

Inspector Hunter’s mouth twitched and cursed secretly. He already knew what Locke wanted to do. He was going to drag him into the water and let him endorse him.

He shrugged and said, “Well, I informed Locke. After all, he solved the Gaviotas State Forest serial murder case, and the only survivor, Jack Spalding, was going to sue him for depriving him of his gender rights. So, after Jack Spalding was killed, he was my first suspect… He also confessed, “I also located his cell phone signal. What he just said was true. He did go to the vicinity of Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, and also went to BBCM Dessert Shop, and finally returned to the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills…” “Although the time he went to the vicinity of Cedars-Sinai Medical Center coincided with the time of Jack Spalding’s death, he should not have had the time to commit the crime. “Besides, he didn’t know Jack Spalding would sue him, and he had no motive to commit the crime…” “The time when Jack Spalding arrived at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center is not something that ordinary people can grasp…” “Even the top killers can’t be so efficient, and Jack Spalding died from the anti-material weapon Barrett M82A1…” “…” Locke stared at Hunter in shock. I treated you as a friend, but you actually doubted me and located me, with a hurt expression! He sneered in his heart. Damn, the bitch Black Egg hinted wildly! This was deliberately putting eye drops on him in front of Anna Davis, disgusting him, and taking revenge on him for dragging him into the water. Inspector Hunter was in the dark.”Can you act more realistically?” He turned his head and said, “Liv, let’s stop asking questions. Don’t disturb the normal work of the Detective Bureau…” Liv put away her doubts and smiled, “OK, Locke, that’s it. We will verify with Dr. Jennifer Gray. Please provide her phone number. Thank you for your cooperation!” Locke readily provided Jennifer Gray’s phone number. He still had confidence in this woman. There was no need to greet or collude in advance to deal with such things. Hunter and Liv stood up and greeted Anna Davis, then left. In the conference room, Anna Davis looked at Locke with a complicated expression. She remembered that she had specifically mentioned Jack Spalding’s death to Locke, and Locke was still playing dumb with her at that time. From what Detective Hunter said, she was basically sure that Jack Spalding was killed by Locke. When Locke saw Anna Davis’s expression, he knew that the words of the black-salted egg had worked. But he didn’t care. It didn’t matter if Anna Davis guessed it. On the contrary, it could serve as a deterrent. Locke stood up and asked, “Commander, nothing, I’ll go back to work first!”

“…”

Anna Davis wanted to say something, but when she saw Locke’s nonchalant look, she felt a chill in her heart, “It’s okay, go to work!”

Watching Locke leave, she couldn’t help but sigh, knowing that after this undercover operation, the relationship would never be the same again.

Although FBI Detective Hunter had some hidden meaning in his words just now, his ultimate goal was to protect Locke, which showed that they had a tacit understanding long ago.

And Locke’s fearless look clearly showed that he didn’t take this matter to heart at all.

It seems that she didn’t know Locke and the Locke family well enough!

…

On the side of the road, Liv hung up the phone with a disgusted look. Dr. Jennifer Grey’s description was more detailed, and she also mentioned that Locke asked her to stand in front of the window, unbutton her clothes, and show him her breasts to relieve his longing for her. This was too…

Hunter was searching for Jennifer Grey’s information in the system with a tablet. Seeing that she ended the call so quickly, he asked, “How is it?”

Liv frowned and replied, “It’s the same as Locke’s story. Although I don’t believe it was Locke, there are too many coincidences, and there are also doubts. For example, the time when Jack Spalding arrived at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Jennifer Grey can provide… ”

“Liv, you also went to see the sniper site, and there were no traces left. Suspicion cannot be used as evidence. Without sufficient evidence, we can’t investigate an LAPD detective. That’s it, uh…”

Hunter stared at Jennifer Grey’s information on the screen, and his scalp tingled. He had an impression of Jennifer Grey, but he didn’t expect that she was actually the daughter of Republican House leader Sullivan Grey.

Republican House leader Sullivan Gray, California Democratic Whip Belis Camilo, drug lord Floyd Ross, LAPD undercover Locke Lee…

A line suddenly appeared in his mind, linking all these people together.

Liv saw Hunter’s expression was different and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Hunter handed the tablet to her with a wooden expression. Just as he was about to speak, the phone rang. It was Locke calling.
