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

Bearded Brandon knew David was joking, so he laughed and said, “So I can make a fortune, great, I’ll buy you a drink later!”

“Then I’ll be waiting for you!”

David extended his fist and bumped it with Brandon, “How is it? Business is good!”

Brandon shrugged, “It’s still the same. It’s mainly because of you old customers. Benjamin asked you to bring him a box of lead weights…”

David exchanged a few words with Brandon before introducing Locke to him, “Locke Lee, the youngest detective in the LAPD!”

He then said to Locke, “Brandon Cobb, his stuff is not the best, but it must be the most complete…”

“Bullshit, I just don’t sell that kind of deceptive stuff. Besides, even if I take it back, you won’t buy it!”

Brandon retorted to David unhappily, and at the same time extended his hairy fat fist to Locke, “Wow, nice to meet you!” You, Detective Li, you look really young. You are much more promising than David. He is about to retire and is still a patrolman! ”

“But, to be honest, with your looks and figure, it’s a waste to be a Cop. You remind me of Keanu Reeves. You should go to Hollywood, really!”

“Me too!”

Locke raised his fist and bumped it with him, laughing: “If I don’t become an LAPD , I think I should go to the San Fernando Valley!”

“…”

Brandon was stunned for a moment, then laughed, patted the table and said to David: “David, I like this little guy, no wonder you let him join your sea fishing team!”

He said to Locke with a serious face: “If I hadn’t inherited this damn fishing tackle shop, you should be able to see me in the San Fernando Valley. I’m much better than those soft guys, really!”

Locke said with regret: “This is a pity!”

“…”

David looked at the two of them speechlessly, and said to Brandon unhappily: “Okay, stop your damn flattery. If you are really that tough, Sofia will not leave you.”

Brandon’s face froze, and he wanted to refute when he opened his mouth.

“Don’t brag in front of this guy, because what he said is true!”

David interrupted Brandon and said seriously: “Okay, bring me a 4.5-meter No. 1 rod and a 5.3-meter No. 2 rod, Morigen No. 2 blue 200 meters, and a box of sea fishing hooks, buoys, bait cages, swivels, space beans, a box of lead weights, bait buckets, long-handled bait scoops, life vests and raincoats, non-slip boots, fishing gear bags…”

He turned to Locke and said: “Sunglasses, sunscreen, remember to bring them yourself!”

Brandon shrugged awkwardly and asked: “Daiwa, Shimano, CANAAN, or Shakespeare?”

David replied: “I told you this guy is not short of money, Daiwa!”

In less than ten minutes, Brandon had matched what David said, and then took the computer and pressed it hard, “Add up to 1768USD , for David’s sake, just give $1760!”

Locke was about to pay, but David stopped him and said dissatisfiedly: “So, my face is only worth $8?”

Brandon smiled and said: “Okay, I was just joking, 9.8% off is okay!”

David said sarcastically: “good, Brandon, thank you for your 2% off! WOW! You are so generous, Benjamin and the others will definitely envy me…”

Brandon said anxiously: “Fuck, you know it’s almost no money, how much do you want? Okay, okay, when I welcome Inspector Locke to join the sea fishing, 5% off, how much is this… er, 1679.6…”

Locke didn’t want to continue bargaining, and without waiting for David to speak, he counted 17 Franklin (100 US dollar character images) to Brandon, “No need to change, thank you!”

Brandon counted them and handed back a 2-piece Hamilton (10-dollar character image), “Although it’s discounted, I still made a profit, enough!”

He said to David with a straight face: “David, your glass of wine is gone!”

David smiled triumphantly, “It’s okay, Locke will treat me!”

Brandon took out a box of lead weights, “This is for Benjamin!”

David picked up the lead weights, “OK, I’ll pass it to him…”

Brandon asked curiously: “Are you still going to catch the 300-pound tuna this time?”

David shrugged, “I don’t know if I can meet it this time. It’s a cunning”Good luck to you guys, after all, you have a young tough guy joining you this time!” “Nice to meet you, Brandon, bye!” Locke also said goodbye to the bearded Brandon, and followed David out of the fishing tackle store with fishing gear. Frankly speaking, if David hadn’t brought him, he wouldn’t have come to this kind of store. He would have gone directly to Cabela’s or Bass Pro Shop to buy (American hunting, fishing, and camping supplies supermarket). Cabela’s Cabela’s Bass Pro Shop Bass Pro Shop When he came to the car, Locke opened the trunk of the Mercedes-Benz G55, and while putting things in, he asked curiously: “Why are all your friends bearded?” Gary, the owner of the gun shop before, also had a big beard. David was stunned for a moment, and smiled: “It’s just a coincidence! Maybe they all think that beards are more manly!” He reminded again: “Don’t be late tomorrow! ”

After putting away the things, Locke took out a box of snow-skin mooncakes from the trunk. He only shared the cooked pastries with his colleagues at noon, and kept two boxes of snow-skin mooncakes in the trunk.

“David, this is for you. I bought it from a Chinese pastry shop today. You should have heard of mooncakes, a special pastry for the Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival, which symbolizes family reunion. This one has a soft and glutinous texture and no nuts. Catherine should like it…, uh, you should like it!”

“Thank you!”

David took the mooncake with a stern face, “Catherine sent a message saying that she has to work overtime. I don’t know what time she will be back!”

After separating from David, Locke went straight back to his home in Beverly Hills. Marian was busy in the kitchen, and Li Bo was still working at the dining table and chatting with her.

Locke showed the mooncake in his hand, “Dad, look at what this is? ”

“Mooncakes, I said I would buy them at a Chinese supermarket some time ago. Jet and Hannah like to eat them…”

Li Bo took the mooncake from Locke and was very happy. “Wow, it’s still Maxim’s snowy mooncake. This kind of mooncake is completely different from our northern mooncakes. It is soft, not the red bean mooncake we ate before. Your mother should be more accepting of this kind of mooncake…”

He looked at Locke in confusion. Locke used to sneer at mooncakes and would not eat them. “Where did you buy the mooncakes?”

Locke replied: “I need to consult Mr. Sun on a case. I went to Chinatown. I had lunch in Chinatown at noon and packed Chinese food and pastries for my colleagues. I saw mooncakes in the pastry shop, so I bought two boxes. I just gave one box to David…”

Li Bo put the mooncake on the table. “Your mother said you are going to go fishing with David tomorrow?”

“Yes! ”

Locke saw that his father was also interested, so he said: “When I get the yacht license this week, then our whole family can rent a boat to go out to sea!”

“Are you taking the test this weekend?”

Li Bo was stunned for a moment, and then asked: “How many more hours does your PPL need to fly before you can take the driver’s license test?”

Locke replied: “8 hours, there is no time this week, and the training should be finished next week!”

Li Bo enviously said: “I have always said that I would take these two licenses. I was too busy before. I didn’t expect you to get both of them immediately…”

It was rare for the father and son to chat together, and Li Bo suddenly became more talkative.

Locke knew that this should be the effect of the box of mooncakes.

At this time, Marian shouted in the kitchen: “Locke, come and see how my ribs are fried?”
