Griffith Observatory.

Griffith Observatory

On the terrace on the third floor, Locke held the M3 scope of the Remington M700 sniper rifle and observed the Wrightwood community at the foot of the mountain.

Ten minutes later, he handed the scope in his hand to Thaddeus Martin next to him, his expression becoming grim.

Not only the Wrightwood community, but basically the entire Beachwood Canyon is within sight.

This means that the result of his previous reasoning following Raven Tate’s thinking was not rigorous enough. Since the entire Beachwood Canyon was within sight, why did the thieves gang go to rob Carl Lopez’s house.

Griffith Observatory

There are two more high-end communities in Beachwood Canyon than Wrightwood, and the people living in these two communities are definitely richer than Sam Supermarket executives like Carl Lopez.

Is there no villa in those two communities with no one at home?

Therefore, the reasoning that the thieves gang is observing the Wrightwood community here and choosing villas with no one at home as targets is flawed.

They must have first identified Carl Lopez as their target, and then carried out the theft while he was not at home.

It seems that the identities of Carl Lopez and Casey Lopez should not be that simple.

Thaddeus Martin took the scope and asked, “How is it?”

Locke nodded and said, “The entire Lightwood community is within the observation range…”

Upon hearing this, Thaddeus Martin hurriedly picked up the M3 scope and looked down the mountain. He soon found Carl Lopez’s villa because there were police cars parked at the door.

Locke took out his cell phone and called Madeline Hill, “Captain, the entire Lightwood community is within the field of view of the Griffith Observatory, and Carl Lopez’s villa has a particularly good field of view!”

“So your speculation may be correct, they don’t need to enter the community to scout!”

Madeline Hill pondered, “Remember to bring back the video surveillance of the Griffith Observatory for nearly a month…”

Locke replied, “I know…”

Then he told his discovery just now, “I think we should investigate the identities of Carl Lopez and Casey Lopez!”

Madeline Hill naturally understood what Locke meant, and replied, “I have asked Brian to collect information about the Lopez couple, and also contacted their family members to come and identify the bodies…”

She added, “By the way, the owners of two villas in the Lightwood community are not at home. One family went to Southeast Asia for vacation, and the villa was vacant for 5 days. Another family went to New York, and the villa was vacant for 3 days. There was no sign of theft in these two villas…”

This information indirectly proves that the thieves’ gang is not committing crimes randomly.

Their target is Carl Lopez.

After hanging up the phone, Locke led Thaddeus Martin to the management office of Griffith Observatory, where they were received by a middle-aged black manager.

Thaddeus Martin showed his police badge, “This is Inspector Locke Lee, I’m Detective Thaddeus Martin…”

The black manager also introduced himself, “Neil Carlos…”

After knowing Locke’s request, Neil Carlos took them to the monitoring room.

Locke checked the surveillance video of last night. A professional theft gang would definitely have an observation post outside when committing a crime.

He fast-forwarded 2 times to check the surveillance of the time when the Lopez couple was killed. In addition to finding two couples who took advantage of the night to have a tryst here, he did not find any other suspicious people.

Locke frowned and said to Neil Carlos who had been accompanying them: “Sir, I need a backup of surveillance video for nearly a month!”

Neil Carlos responded cooperatively: “Sure, cooperating with LAPD is the obligation of every Los Angeles citizen!”

After taking the video surveillance of Griffith Observatory for a month, Locke and Thaddeus Martin left.

In the driving seat of the F150 Raptor, Thaddeus Martin did not start the car immediately. He glanced at the Hollywood landmark in the distance, looking a little depressed.

He turned his head and asked: “Locke, am I bad? Why can you find so many clues? But I have no idea at all…”

Locke was replying to Jennifer Grey’s WhatsApp. The woman complained to him that Elizabeth Koch had taken her pink diamond away?

Where did he put it, could it still be taken away?

He was stunned for a moment, then turned to ask Thaddeus, “Hey, bro, I don’t know how to answer this question. You know, you are just a trainee detective, you don’t need to put too much pressure on yourself, but why do you want to compete with me?”

“…”

Theddeus Martin was stunned for a moment, then suddenly said: “Damn it! Yes, why should I compete with you! You are a genius! ”

He instantly regained his passion, started the car, and drove down the mountain.

Locke shrugged and ignored the mental boy’s brief mental disorder.

He focused on WhatsApp again. He was curious about what happened to the two women after he left in the morning?

He replied: honey, I have bigger!

Jennifer Gray took a full minute to reply: Sally’s diamond is smaller than mine, but she discovered the existence of the diamond earlier than me. I think, maybe I should arrange an operation for myself?

Locke was stunned. Jennifer Gray wants to have **** surgery?

What is the hell ?

What happened?

Locke was even more confused, but he was a man who had been a sea king after all, so he quickly realized what happened.

Elizabeth Koch discovered the diamond earlier than Jennifer Grey!

So Jennifer Grey was not confident and felt…

Is this a problem for him?

Dizzy, I didn’t expect that women like to compare this just like men!

Locke also realized why Jennifer Grey was so slow to reply to messages, and his bigger stimulated her.

He immediately replied to two messages.

“Honey, are you humiliating me? is it a problem for it?”

“Dr. Grey, you hurt me deeply, I’ll give you a chance, think about it carefully, and then tell me what it looks like in your heart?”

Jennifer Grey replied immediately this time: Hahahahaha, my fault!!!

“It’s all Sally’s fault, that little bitch! ”

She replied: it is so big!!!!

Locke curled his lips, seeing that this woman was PUA by Elizabeth Koch, so her IQ was a little off.

As long as it is big enough, the rest is irrelevant.

Locke asked again: Honey, do you know any jewelry designers?

Jennifer Gray replied: Of course, I will introduce them to you later, but why do you have diamonds?

Locke replied: This is my trophy, I will tell you later.

At this time, Thaddeus Martin asked: “Should we go back to the detective station or to the Lightwood community?”

Locke put away his phone, “Lightwood…”

He wanted to see how these thieves sneaked into and left the community.
