At the door of a cafe not far from the forensic office, Locke and Tony Gerard ordered a cup of coffee each.

Tony Gerard said with a pale face: “Locke, it can be seen that the forensic doctor Catherine should be interested in you. But, believe me, don’t provoke female forensic doctors, it will not do you any good…”

Just now, in order to verify Locke’s inference, Jane Horvath peeled the index fingers and palms of Barbara Coker’s left and right hands on the spot. The effect after peeling the fingers was somewhat like the boneless chicken feet he had eaten in a Chinese restaurant before.

She compared the gaps between the knuckles of the index fingers of both hands and found that it was indeed as Locke said.

The gap between the knuckles of the index finger of Barbara Coker’s right hand that fired the gun was indeed a little larger than that of the index finger of her left hand.

Jane Horvath’s eyes suddenly lit up, and she said frankly that this was an amazing discovery. Next, she needed more examples to verify this discovery. This discovery was enough to write a paper.

She also stared at Locke and Tony Gerard’s hands with burning eyes, and seemed to want to peel them open for verification.

Locke raised his eyebrows, and was a little afraid of Jane Horvath, the crazy woman. She was indeed a female forensic doctor who could stab her ex-husband dozens of times and still get away with it.

He explained: “Katherine’s father David was my teacher when I joined the LAPD. We are just this kind of relationship!”

Tony Gerard took a sip of coffee, “So, are you questioning my vision? I have 25 years of experience as a detective…”

Seeing that Locke was still calm, he leaned over and whispered: “Well, I don’t want you to know nothing about what Forensic Murphy did for you. It’s unfair to her. Remember the fight between black racing gangs under the Long Beach overpass? Forensic Murphy covered up a clue for you…”

“…”

Locke was speechless. Fuck, are you guys never going to stop?

Madeline Hill just talked about this a few days ago.

And Katherine Murphy had told him about this a long time ago. He was really touched by Katherine Murphy’s behavior.

Do you have to make this known to everyone?

Tony Gerard seemed to want to see Locke embarrassed, and added, “Besides this, there is another interesting point. Forensic Dr. Murphy actually knew that you were undercover at the time. Don’t you think this is strange? You should know that not many people in the Detective Bureau know that you are performing an undercover mission!”

Locke had thought about this question a long time ago. It should be that David guessed from his few words that he was performing an undercover mission at the time. When the father and daughter were chatting, Katherine Murphy guessed it.

Everyone in the Detective Bureau knew that he would join the second team of the Robbery and Murder Division. At that time, Madeline Hill and Tony Gerard went to the scene to help him deal with the aftermath of the case.

Katherine Murphy guessed that the gunfight was caused by him, so she helped him cover up the flaws left behind.

Locke glanced at Tony Gerard unhappily, put down his coffee cup, and nodded: “Deputy Captain, I will follow your advice and stay away from female medical examiners, thank you!”

Tony Gerard saw Locke getting up and leaving, and hurriedly said: “Our partnership will end soon. Aren’t you going to treat me to a farewell dinner? I want to try Chinese hot pot. Xi Rui wants to eat it. I’ll try it for her first…”

Locke was stunned and apologized: “Sorry, I already have an appointment tonight. How about this, on Thursday night, I’ll treat everyone to hot pot together!”

Locke did have an appointment in the evening. He made an appointment with the Mendes brothers and sisters to get together in the evening.

The restaurant was chosen by Sarah Mendes, a popular Mexican restaurant on the Internet. The food was okay, but there were too many people and it was too noisy, not suitable for chatting.

After dinner, Locke and his group returned to the Mendes brothers and sisters’ villa in Downey.

After not coming here for a while, the villa has almost changed a lot. Some green plants have been added to the yard, making the villa look more green.

Not only are there lounge chairs by the swimming pool, but there is also a bar counter, and the surrounding area is decorated with night lights, creating a party atmosphere.

“Victor, let’s chat for a few words…”

After entering the yard, Locke walked to the bar counter and praised: “It’s very well done. It’s much more comfortable here than the repair shop!”

Victor Mendes grabbed his hair and said: “It’s all done by Sarah. She wants to have a party when you are free!”

Ryder originally wanted to go over and sit with Locke and the others, but Sarah Mendes glared at him and he had to go back to the villa and turn on the Xbox Series S to play “Horizon”.

Victor Mendes told Locke that his smashed F150 Raptor had been sent to the repair shop. After inspection, there was no need for repair, and the car would continue to be kept in the repair shop as a display car.

Locke asked: “Has the new car arrived?”

He has asked Victor to buy two new F150 RaptorsHe wanted to give one to his uncle.

Victor Mendes replied: “It has arrived. The modification will be quick this time, about a week. I will make some strength upgrades based on the damage of the previous two cars…”

At this time, Sarah Mendes came out with beer and snacks. Locke’s beer was his favorite Bud Light, and Victor Mendes’s was Corona.

Locke picked up the beer, bumped into Victor, and said solemnly: “Bro, thank you, you saved me again!”

Victor Mendes’ expression was restrained, he glanced at his quiet sister next to him, took a sip of beer, and said: “To be honest, with your family, I really don’t understand why you do such a dangerous job…”

He thought Locke was shot this time because he had a shooting with the gangsters when solving the case.

Sarah Mendes hugged Locke’s arm and leaned on his arm quietly. When she heard her brother say such excessive words, she stared at him dissatisfiedly, “Victor…”

“It is ok…”

Locke hugged Sarah’s hand and comforted her twice, but he did not intend to tell them what happened in Lebec. This would be a long story, and they might not understand the complicated situation behind it.

He smiled and said, “Being an LAPD is my hobby, just like you, you can obviously sell the land of the repair shop and enjoy your life now, but you are still willing to be a mechanic…”

Victor Mendes shrugged, “Okay, I understand, I just don’t want Sarah to worry about you. She almost cried when she saw the car yesterday…”

“You still said…”

Sarah Mendes’s face sank, and she became more dissatisfied.

“Why don’t you call me?”

Locke stared at her cute little face in a daze, and couldn’t help but reach out and touch it. If it were before, this girl would definitely call him first.

In fact, he had already felt the difference in Sarah Mendes during this meeting, as if she had grown up a lot.

It seemed that Daisy Greenberg had left a big shadow on her after seeing her last time.

Sarah Mendes was so well-behaved at this moment that it was heartbreaking.

Locke grabbed Sarah Mendes’ hand and smiled at Victor, “It seems that our conversation needs to be suspended. I have to communicate with your sister first…”

After that, he directly picked up Sarah Mendes and walked towards the villa.

Victor Mendes looked at Locke walking into the villa with a complicated expression. He drank a few sips of beer. He naturally knew what would happen next.

I hope that after Locke communicates with Sarah, Sarah can return to normal as soon as possible.

However, it’s too unfair!

Sarah didn’t allow him and Ryder to bring women back to the villa, but she dated her boyfriend openly.
