Faced with Tom Williams’s aggressiveness, Locke was naturally not afraid. He ignored him directly and asked Sophia next to him helplessly: “How can you tolerate him for so long?”

Sophia spread her hands and made a helpless gesture, looking helpless.

Locke said in a deep voice: “Captain Tom, you have to understand that if it weren’t for my ghost story, the two victims would still be locked up in the basement. I don’t know how long the five corpses under the grass will be buried there!” He sneered, “I heard that Elvin Marcus is applying for bail. Instead of focusing on me, why don’t you convict him earlier and send this crazy bastard to prison to pick up soap…” Tom Williams looked cold and frowned, saying, “Officer Locke, what exactly makes you so disrespectful to me?” Locke replied expressionlessly, “Captain Tom, respect is mutual!” Tom Williams was silent for two seconds, shrugged and said, “OK, I apologize for my previous surveillance of you. I now invite you to join my team again. Is that sincere enough? You are the first person I invited in person. You are indeed very talented, so you deserve me…” Sophia looked at Tom Williams in disbelief. As far as she could remember, he had never apologized to his teammates. Locke was amused by Tom Williams’ arrogance and conceit, interrupted Tom Williams and said: “Sorry, I will not join your team…”

Tom Williams asked puzzledly: “Why? Smart people should not be swayed by emotions!”

Locke said seriously: “Because I want to be a better detective than you…”

Tom Williams was stunned for a moment, looked at Locke in surprise, as if he heard something very funny, shrugged and smiled: “Incense, that’s it. OK, then future detective, what suggestions do you have for this case?”

Locke cursed in his heart, and was a little speechless. He said this, but Tom Williams, the psychopath, was not angry enough.

He asked: “I heard that you suspect there are other victims?”

“…”

Tom Williams frowned, as if he was dissatisfied with the rapid circulation of internal information in LAPD. He turned his head and glanced at Sophia next to him, wanting her to answer Locke.

Sophia was eating melons, and she was very happy. It was the first time she saw someone confront Tom Williams in person. She couldn’t wait to spread this famous scene, and she didn’t notice the instructions of the boss next to her.

“Cough… cough…”

Seeing Sophia staring at Locke like a fangirl, Tom Williams was very unhappy. After coughing twice to wake her up, he asked Locke: “Sophia wants to date you, will you agree?”

Locke was stunned, and he couldn’t keep up with the thinking of this psychopath. He glanced at Sophia with an embarrassed face and replied: “Sorry, I already have a girlfriend!”

Tom Williams nodded and said: “Very gentlemanly answer!”

“Tom Williams, don’t think that I will be your free driver in the future…”

Sophia gritted her teeth and said a harsh word, exhaled a long breath, and said to Locke: “Officer Locke, thank you for your cooperation, you can leave…”

“No…”

Tom Williams interrupted her, “I want to hear the future detective’s advice on this case!”

Locke had no choice but to ask the question again.

Sophia replied with a straight face: “Although the forensic autopsy report has not been completed, a rough conclusion has been drawn about the time of death of the bodies. The latest of the five bodies was seven years ago, and the two victims in the basement were detained by Alvin Marcus in the past two years…”

Locke understood immediately that there was a five-year window period in between, and there was a high probability that there were other victims, but Alvin Marcus had other places to deal with the bodies and did not continue to bury them in the yard.

He replied without much thought: “Alvin Marcus is the owner of a construction company. I suggest checking the houses built by the construction company during the past five years…”

Tom Williams curled his lips and nodded: “Good…”

After that, he stood up and left the inquiry room.

Sophia looked at Locke in surprise and gave him a thumbs up, “We have sent people to search…”

She stood up and sorted out the documents. Before leaving, she turned her head and said: “Come on, future detective! Fuck Tom Williams, the bastard!”

It seems that the police department has suffered from Tom Williams for a long time!

In the afternoon, Locke handed the transcript of the rescue process in Villa H-10-06 to Anna Davis. No, to be more precise, it should be his work report as a part-time bodyguard yesterday.

After reading it carefully, Anna nodded and said there was no problem.

Locke wantedHe remembered that he had installed a camera on the Ford Explorer at that time, so he said: “I still have video data. I wanted to look back and find suspicious tracking vehicles…” Anna Davis asked: “Can it be used?” Locke thought about it. The video camera was always facing outward, and it only captured him following Anna and Nathan’s car, and searching the villa area later, but did not capture the interior of Villa H-10-06. He briefly talked about the video information. His conversation with Captain Jones should also be recorded. With this video, it is more real that he was hired by the police station. Anna Davis said happily: “Perfect! With this video, the chain of evidence is more sufficient! Even if it goes to court, it won’t be a big problem…” She said: “If you have nothing to do next, go home and rest early!” Locke replied: “David and I have an appointment to see Nathan…” Anna Davis said hurriedly: “Please say hello to Nathan for me. I will go to see him tomorrow!” G55 had just left the Wilshire Police Station when David asked Locke to take a detour to Openaire, the most famous dessert shop in Wilshire, to pick up the dessert he had ordered. This shop is a well-known online celebrity shop in Los Angeles. Even if you make a reservation, you have to queue up for a long time. Seeing David smiling and holding desserts in the car, Locke felt a little sour in his heart, and looked at David in confusion, “When did you get so close to Nathan? David looked down at the dessert box on his lap and explained, “This is not for Nathan, but for Catherine. She is still splicing the body in Elvin Marcus’ villa. She sent me a message at noon saying that she wanted to eat Openaire’s dessert…” Locke suddenly realized, raised his thumb, and praised: “Full score dad!” David smiled, “What did you say in Chinese last time, daughter slave?” Locke nodded, “Yeap, daughter slave! “He asked again: “So we have to go to the Cortina community first…” “Yes…” David quickly stopped smiling and warned with a stern face: “Boy, I warn you, don’t get out of the car later, I can go in by myself, I will be out soon…” Locke shouted dissatisfiedly: “Come on, I already have a girlfriend…” David said with disdain: “When you were with Emily, weren’t you also with Emma?” “…” Locke shut up tactfully, forget it, no explanation. Why does this old man always think that he will miss his daughter? Twenty minutes later, Locke parked the car outside Alvin Marcus’s villa, with a slight smile on his face. Although this matter was a bit rough, the result was good. The survivors were rescued, the criminals would be brought to justice, and the victims would be vindicated. After a while, Locke heard footsteps. He looked at the rearview mirror of the co-pilot seat and saw David coming back with a stern face. Did the father and daughter have a quarrel?

Then he heard footsteps on the left and looked at the left rearview mirror. He saw Catherine Murphy slowly approaching in a white coat, warm and bright, like a lily stained with dew in the morning.

Locke turned his head to look at David who had already got on the passenger seat. Seeing that the old man had a stern face and didn’t say anything, he rolled down the window.

Catherine Murphy looked up at Locke, her pretty and fair face was excited, “Hi, Locke…”

Locke was a little puzzled, “Hi, Catherine, what’s wrong?”

Catherine Murphy nodded, “I came here to tell you that you may have really encountered a ghost!”
