The atmosphere suddenly became a little weird, and it was Agent Liv who broke the weird scene.

She stared at Locke with scrutiny and asked in confusion: “So, you actually live in that room? The information on the file is wrong?”

“No!”

Locke calmed down instantly, walked over calmly, opened the door, and made a gesture of invitation, “I live here, that’s my friend’s room, she went back to her country, I put some things in her place…”

He was telling the truth, this was the way he thought of to deal with it instantly.

Locke had long discovered that although Black Sauce Egg was not as powerful as Tom Williams, the psychopath, he was also a tough guy, so he had to deal with it wholeheartedly.

From yesterday’s rollover incident, Locke has realized that he is surrounded by intelligent and experienced police officers. If he thinks that others will believe him if he makes an excuse casually, then he is a fool.

So, in the future, the main focus is sincerity, 80% true, 20% false.

Even if there is a real rollover one day, Hollywood is his retreat. He always has a special complex for Hollywood, as if he has an unfulfilled wish.

However, this black-salted egg tortured a suspect to commit suicide last time, and he was able to come out to perform the task so quickly. I have to say, he is very bloody!

Liv turned to look at the black-salted egg, and Inspector Hunter nodded. Except for being a little surprised and guilty at the beginning, he did not find that Locke was lying.

Inspector Hunter is a well-known interrogation expert of the FBI, and is good at analyzing micro-expressions.

This is why he couldn’t wait to interrogate the bodyguard of the “doctor” as soon as he caught him last time, just to find out the “doctor” who had not run far away.

The two followed Locke into the room, and Liv praised, “It’s a nice house, very clean and tidy, no peculiar smell, it’s hard to believe that you live alone, or you are a man, tut tut, if I didn’t know you…”

“It’s just a little cleaner…”

Locke curled his lips, heard Liv’s implication, took out two bottles of Evian from the refrigerator, and replied with a pun.

The room is now clean and he is full of confidence.

After the three of them sat down, Locke got straight to the point and asked, “What do you two want to talk to me about?”

Black-Boiled Egg Hunter stared at Locke with burning eyes and said with a smile, “I didn’t expect that you are such a great marksman besides being able to lip-read and sketch. Sam Brown is not counted. The other four gunmen you shot dead are all elite veterans of the Army. They have participated in many Middle East wars. The one whose neck you broke was from the Rangers.”

“I heard that the Army Criminal Investigation Command (CID) is going to investigate this case. After all, it involves the deaths of four veterans. Of course, they are not just because of these four people. You LAPD back In the crackdown on the Copernicus organization, dozens of the people arrested were retired army veterans…”

He leaned forward slightly, with a strong sense of oppression, and said solemnly: “Locke, we came to you today to invite you again. With your ability, it is absolutely a waste to stay in LAPD. Join the FBI! The power of the FBI is not comparable to that of the LAPD. The entire United States is our law enforcement scope. Even the CID needs to respect our opinions…”

Locke’s heart sank when he suddenly heard that the Army Criminal Investigation Command (CID) would intervene in this case, but his face did not show it at all.

He showed a look of embarrassment and said sincerely: “Detective Hunter, thank you for your appreciation, but you should have checked my family background. Joining LAPD is just a temporary idea. My family does not support me to join the disciplined forces…”

Hunter was stunned. He thought that this time, with the coercion and inducement, with the name of the FBI, it should be easy to take Locke down. After all, Locke killed someone during his administrative leave, which is a very big handle.

Liv decided to add fuel to the fire and reminded: “Locke, once CID intervenes in this case, the court trial will become absolutely fair and just. You may not only fail to become an LAPD, but may even go to jail…” Locke hesitated and said: “I hope you two can keep my next words confidential, although you should be able to find out by yourself. Captain Davis decided to patrol with Nathan for the dignity of LAPD, taking great risks. Although LAPD cannot send people to follow and protect openly, you don’t think we really have no precautions at all!” “…” Detective Hunter and Liv looked at each other and raised their eyebrows, “So, you are the precaution?” Liv asked puzzledly: “Why do you have to do it like this, hiding it…” Locke did not answer, and spread his hands and made a look that you know what I mean. Detective Hunter curled his lips and said sarcastically: “This is indeed something that only LAPD can do, face is more important than the truthMore important…” Locke rolled his eyes in his heart, making it seem as if the FBI paid more attention to the truth. The two exchanged glances again, and Liv said: “Locke, we came here today not only to invite you to join the FBI again, but also to ask you for help with something…” Locke didn’t want to offend the FBI, so he asked straightforwardly: “What is it?” Liv said: “It’s about the boss of the Copernicus organization…” Locke deliberately interrupted her and asked: “Wait, didn’t you say that this case would be handed over to the DHS (Department of Homeland Security)? ”

In Locke’s opinion, the FBI has little chance of competing with the DHS for this case.

In the United States, the only agency that can still challenge the DHS is probably the IRS (Internal Revenue Service).

The FBI has always been the largest law enforcement agency in the United States, but since the 9/11 incident, the DHS came into being and merged more than 20 federal government agencies. Since its establishment, it has surpassed the FBI in one fell swoop and became the largest law enforcement agency in the United States. Now the FBI has to hold its nose in its hands.

In terms of administrative level, the FBI is affiliated with the U.S. Department of Justice, and the DHS reports directly to the White House, and they are not at the same level.

Inspector Hunter’s expression suddenly became a little unnatural, “No, who will be handed over the case has not been finally decided, so we want to try to get some first-hand…”

He motioned Liv to continue, and Liv said: “Johnny Dyson, the boss of the Copernicus organization, escaped, and we suspect that he will find a “doctor” to help him with plastic surgery. Last time you discovered the work of the “doctor”, Harry Bellein, you already know his plastic surgery style, so we want you to look at Johnny Dyson’s photos and try to draw his appearance after plastic surgery…”

“…”

Locke was confused. Damn it, even if he could, he wouldn’t wade into this muddy water!

Not to mention offending the “doctor”, he was more afraid of offending DHS.

Locke exhaled and smiled bitterly: “Did you make a mistake? The reason why I found Harry Bellein last time was because I read his lip language first and knew that he was a wanted criminal, so I compared him through the database. I didn’t recognize him by his face. More importantly, I’m not a plastic surgeon, I just know how to sketch…”

He hesitated for a moment He nodded and said, “But your idea should be feasible. Plastic surgeons have their own styles. I suggest that you should find a professional plastic surgeon and show them the photos of Harry Bellein before and after plastic surgery, and then let them designate a plastic surgery plan for Johnny Dyson based on this style…”

Black Sauce Egg’s eyes lit up and praised, “Good suggestion, it seems that we didn’t come in vain…”

Locke stood at the door and watched Inspector Hunter and Liv leave. He returned to the room and called Anna Davis and told her what had just happened.

After hearing this, Anna Davis smiled and said, “Locke, it seems that I should promote you as soon as possible. The Detective Bureau and the FBI have invited you again and again. If you don’t give you a raise, the LAPD will not be able to keep you!”

“Don’t worry, CID’s involvement is just a normal procedure of the Army. This case involves Army veterans…”

“The case of the Copernicus Organization is likely to be handed over to the FBI. The DHS is more targeted at external terrorist attacks. Gang crimes in the United States will still be handled by the FBI…”
