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

Two minutes later, Locke arrived at the scene. The mountain road had been blocked by LAPD patrolmen. The forensic department was studying a black plastic bag, and the second team was standing in the sun ten meters away.

As Locke approached, Harry Sumner joked, “Locke, are you here to investigate or to walk?”

This guy was still dressed in a suit, a dark gray suit, and brown brogues on his feet, but his hair was already messy, and his forehead was covered with fine sweat.

Locke ignored him, first glanced at Madeline Hill, who looked serious, then took off his backpack, took out a bottle of water from it and handed it to Tony Gerard, and then gave it to Jack Talbot and Raven Tate respectively.

Jack Talbot and Raven Tate were thirsty for a long time, and they took the water and drank it in big gulps.

“Locke, thank you, it’s just in time…”

“Thank you, I forgot to bring water, who would have thought of coming to climb the mountain so early in the morning…”

Tony Gerard took a sip of water and looked at Locke with appreciation, “We all forgot that the scene was so far away…”

Harry Sumner’s expression froze, licked his lips, and stared at Locke eagerly.

Locke turned and walked towards Madeline Hill, “Captain, do you want some water?”

Madeline Hill’s mouth twitched. She wanted to be tough and say that she had called a helicopter to send supplies up, but she was really thirsty, not to mention that she had just drained water.

She took the water with a cold face and asked, “Don’t you live in Wilshire? Why did you take so long to come?”

Locke replied, “I moved to Elysian Park, and the address has been updated in the registration form…”

Madeline Hill had already decided to give Locke a lecture, intending to settle new and old grudges together.

However, she calmed down a bit when she felt the coldness of the Evian mineral water in her hand, and asked, “Do you have any water in your bag?”

Locke nodded and said, “Yes…”

Madeline Hill said, “Then leave a few bottles for the people in the forensic department. I don’t know how long it will take for the supplies to be delivered…”

Harry Sumner saw that everyone had water, and he didn’t care about his face anymore, and walked over, “Locke, do you have any water?”

Locke would naturally not deliberately play tricks, and he would just express the attitude that should be expressed. They are all colleagues, so why would they really make enemies for such a small matter!

He hurriedly handed him a bottle of water and asked others, “I also brought Snickers. Does anyone need it?”

Harry Sumner held Evian in one hand and Snickers in the other, and exclaimed, “Locke, you are still foresighted!”

After a while, several people had a Snickers in their hands, eating while waiting for the results of the forensic department, which really made them like they were involved.

Madeline Hill held half a bottle of Evian and stared at the forensic personnel not far away. This was her last bottom line.

After Tony Gerard finished eating the Snickers, he wiped his mouth in a very unceremonious manner and asked in a low voice: “How long did it take you to set off after receiving the captain’s call?” Locke replied, “About an hour…” Tony Gerard looked at him speechlessly, “It’s best to make sure you set off within half an hour in the future! Although the person is dead, the sooner you come to the scene, the better, because some clues will disappear as the event passes…” Locke nodded and said, “I understand!” Raven Tate saw that the forensic department had finished the preliminary investigation and reminded: “Locke, if you haven’t seen the body, you’d better be mentally prepared later, but everyone has a first time…” Jack Talbot also echoed: “Yes, it’s best not to vomit at the scene…” Locke knew they meant well and said seriously: “Thank you, I will pay attention…” Seeing that William Worrell and Catherine Murphy took off their gloves and walked over, Locke hurriedly picked up the bag on the ground and greeted them, handing each of them a bottle of water. “Thank you…” William Worrell couldn’t wait to drink it. “…”

Katherine Murphy was much more ladylike. Just as she was about to talk to Locke, this guy passed by her.

Locke walked towards the three forensic personnel who stayed there, “Can I come over? Do you need water?”

“Okay, it’s over…”

“God, I need it so much…”

“If I don’t replenish water, I will faint…”

“…”

While handing over the water, Locke glanced at the body parts in the black garbage bag. The body was divided into small pieces. Such a bag looked about 10KG.

The body parts were stuck together. Except for the fishy smell, there was no bad smell. It was still very fresh. It was frozen.

His brows frowned instantly. Forget it. Let’s listen to what the forensic department says first.

Just when he was about to turn around and go back to listen to the investigation results, he found that the patrolmen outside were staring at him expectantly. Although they brought water, they had already finished drinking it.

The main reason was that this place was full of half-meter-high bushes, without even a shade of trees. It was exposed to the sun.It’s too easy to get thirsty.

Locke hesitated for a moment, but still walked over. In fact, there was no water in the bag, but in the space.

So he lifted the bag, blocked it with his body, put his hand in the bag, and instantly there were 5 more bottles of water in it. He walked towards the five patrolmen and gave each of them a bottle of water and Snickers.

Amidst the voices of gratitude, Locke turned back to the crowd.

Madeline Hill looked at Locke with admiration and wanted to give water to the patrolmen, but she didn’t know how many bottles were left in Locke’s bag.

Harry Sumner exclaimed: “Your bag is really big. How did you carry it so heavy!”

Locke shook the backpack, “No more, it just fits, it’s amazing…”

He asked William Worrell and Catherine Murphy: “There are still Snickers, can you eat it?”

Obviously, he was overthinking.

William Worrell and Catherine Murphy each had a Snickers, and even the forensic personnel next to the body parts ran over, took three, and ate happily next to the body parts.

Madeline Hill glanced at the sky and saw that the support helicopter had not come yet, so she said to Raven Tate: “Go and tell Locke about the investigation results that William and Murphy just said. Let’s discuss it…”

Katherine Murphy took the initiative and said: “Let me do it!”

Amid the strange looks of the crowd, the two walked aside.

Katherine Murphy showed the Evian and Snickers in her hand and smiled: “So considerate, is this the habit you developed when you were a playboy?”

Locke was speechless, “Does David know that you are so naughty?”

Katherine Murphy smiled and asked: “Why does David have a gift, but I don’t?”

Are we familiar with each other?

Locke was not really familiar with Catherine Murphy, and had only met her three or four times. “If I give you a gift, I’m afraid David will cause trouble for me…”

Catherine Murphy frowned, “You still owe me a meal?”

Locke hadn’t figured out why he owed her a meal, and replied, “Okay, let’s talk about it after I’m done with this…”

After getting a satisfactory answer, Catherine Murphy talked about the investigation results. The bag of body parts was confirmed to be a human body, and it was most likely a female torso.

The incision was not smooth, and it was most likely cut with an electric saw or something like that.

The time of death, DNA, etc. need to be tested in the laboratory.

Although this is a remote path, the footprints around the body bag are very messy. All the footprints have been collected and need to be compared in the laboratory.

Locke looked at Catherine Murphy in astonishment, and her cheeks turned red. “What’s wrong?”

He didn’t expect that the master of forensic medicine who graduated from CSU (California State University) Davis was so scumbag.

He asked, “Didn’t you notice that the body parts in this body bag came from two people?”
