At the table, after Marian finished her meal, she asked Locke with some concern: “Locke, let me ask you again, are you sure you can take good care of Jet and Hannah?”

Mary Ann and Li Bo will take the Greenberg family’s private plane to San Francisco to attend the California Bar Association’s board of directors. The board of directors will announce the list of newly elected directors, and Marian will be selected for this list of directors.

Tomorrow night, the Greenberg family will hold a celebration dinner for Marian to entertain lawyers from the California Bar Association.

They will return to Los Angeles the day after tomorrow morning. During the one and two nights they are away, Locke will serve as the temporary guardian of Jet and Hannah.

Locke glanced at Jet and Hannah opposite, and they happened to look at him. He smiled confidently and nodded: “Of course, I have no problem!”

Jet is already 17 years old and Hannah is 14 years old. As long as they take care of breakfast and dinner, what can be the problem!

Li Bo told Jet. Hannah: “You must listen to Locke, no quarreling, let alone fighting!”

“…”

Jet was speechless. I am an excellent student. Shouldn’t I tell Locke?

Hannah muttered: “Jet can’t beat Locke again…”

Jet looked straight ahead and raised his middle finger, which immediately attracted Marian’s roar, “Jet. Li, what are you doing? Put away your damn middle finger!”

Li Bo also scolded: “Jet, this is not a gesture that should be made to family members…”

Locke watched Marian and Li Bo take turns to scold Jet, feeling very novel, as if he saw his former self.

It seems that Jet has also entered the rebellious period!

After a while, Li Bo and Marian pushed their suitcases out, and Locke’s three siblings sent them to the door.

Li Bo would drive to the airport by himself. Anyway, there was only one day, and the car would be parked in the airport parking lot.

Watching the Range Rover slowly going away, Jet and Hannah looked at each other and rushed into the house. When Locke returned to the house, they both disappeared, probably back to their rooms.

Locke looked at the leftovers on the table, stunned for a moment, went to the kitchen to put on a bib, and started to clean up.

Fortunately, there was no one downstairs at this time, otherwise, they would definitely be scared.

Because Locke’s movements were skillful and relaxed, and they were not inferior to professional housekeepers.

At eight o’clock in the evening, Locke waited for Marian to call from San Francisco on video, and took the phone to let Jet and Hannah say good night to her separately.

On the phone, Marian smiled and said: “Locke, it seems you did a good job!”

Locke replied: “Yes, you can rest assured to live in the world of two people!”

After hanging up the phone and returning to the room, Locke lay on the bed and opened the system panel again, but the panel was still not updated.

It seems that this case will not be counted on him.

The next morning, when Jet and Hannah went downstairs and saw the breakfast on the table, they looked at Locke who was eating breakfast in shock.

Today’s breakfast is mainly Chinese, with fried rice, fried dumplings, and fried noodles.

Jet was surprised and said, “Did you make all of them? I thought you would order pizza…”

Hannah pointed at the fried rice on the table, “I know this, we have eaten it in a Chinese restaurant, this is called Yangzhou fried rice, Locke, you can actually make Yangzhou fried rice, I like this, there are corn, carrots, shrimps…”

Locke knocked on the table, “Don’t talk too much, eat breakfast quickly, and then go to school, I have a case! I have to leave immediately!”

Just when he was making breakfast, he received a call from Madeline Hill, and there was another case, so he was asked to go directly to the scene.

Jet pulled open the chair and sat down, curiously asking, “What case?”

Seeing that Jet and Hannah were staring at him curiously, Locke was hesitant, and the two of them immediately looked expectant.

Unexpectedly, Locke replied firmly: “This case involves US state secrets, I can’t tell you…”

He didn’t know what the case was.

Jet and Hannah were both disappointed, and then turned their disappointment into appetite and focused on breakfast.

Hannah said to Locke with food in her mouth, “Locke, why don’t you be responsible for breakfast in the future! I like this rice…”

Locke ignored her directly. He had already felt how difficult it was for Marian. She could have slept a little longer, but she had to get up to prepare breakfast. Fortunately, it was only one morning, uh, two…

Soon, Jet and Hannah finished their breakfast and carried their schoolbags to go to school.

“Wait a minute…” Locke called Jet, he was not sure whether he had to work overtime for this case today, he took out $200 and added another $100, “If I can’t make it home in time for dinner, you can order your own food…” Jet took the money and said politely, “Thank you, don’t worry about us, we can handle it…” Hannah caught up with Jet, who was afraid that Locke would regret it, and shouted, “Jet, I think we should order a shawl.That’s enough, and you should give me half of the remaining change!” Locke couldn’t help laughing when he saw Jet and Hannah reacting to $300. If they knew that their family had more than 100 million in assets, they would not know how they would react. He cleaned up the table and went out quickly, driving the F150 Raptor to the site address in the work group.

South Gate, 135 Dexon Street. Locke pulled over. South Gate belongs to the Central Branch. The patrol officers of Newton Area (#13) have set up a cordon at the scene. Locke showed his detective badge, and the patrol officer on duty immediately helped him lift the cordon, “Thanks !”

At this moment, the forensic department was collecting evidence in the house, and the teammates of the second team were scattered at the door of the house.

Madeline Hill was talking to two detectives from the Newton Division, and she should understand the case.

Harry Sumner was leading Jack Talbot to question a middle-aged white man. The middle-aged white man was very fat, his face was red, his expression was sad, his body was shaking, and his eyes looked into the house from time to time. It can be seen at a glance that he is a family member of the victim.

Raven Tate was talking to Brian Smith. When he saw Locke coming over, they stopped to greet him.

Locke withdrew his gaze from the middle-aged man and asked, “What case? ”

Raven Tate glanced at the middle-aged man and said, “Judy Simpson, the wife of Mr. Reilly Simpson, was murdered. Mr. Simpson worked in a supermarket and was on the night shift last night. When he came back in the morning, he found that the door of the house was not closed. After entering, he found his wife lying in a pool of blood with a knife stuck in her chest. The house was also robbed…”

This case sounds very simple!

It is a typical burglary and murder case, but with the precedent of the George Green Villa Impart case, Locke did not take it lightly this time.

He asked again: “How long has the forensic department been in there? ”

Brian Smith glanced at the Apple Watch on his hand and replied: “It should be almost an hour. Supervisor Jane Horvath and others arrived before us…”

Locke glanced at Mr. Reilly Simpson again. This guy looked very guilty. Could it be that he was directing and acting himself?

Seeing that Madeline Hill had not finished the conversation, he said to Raven Tate: “I’ll go in and take a look…”

Putting on shoe covers and latex gloves at the door, Locke walked into the room. After glancing at the forensic personnel who were concentrating on their work, he also began to analyze the traces in the room.

There are many traces in the room, mainly footprints on the floor.

The footprints run through the room. The murderer should be looking for something and woke up the hostess Judy Simpson. After being discovered by Judy Simpson, he killed her with a kitchen knife.

Well, according to the footprints, the murderer is about 1.82 meters tall and weighs about 75KG, which does not match the body shape of Reilly Simpson.

Strange, it was not him who did it, why is he guilty?
