Locke had to spend some time convincing Catherine Murphy that he had no psychic ability and that this incident was just a coincidence.

After hanging up the phone, Locke was speechless, which was also the sequelae of lying. Then he thought about whether to call David and inform him of Catherine’s abnormal thoughts.

However, when he thought that David would definitely react greatly if he knew that Catherine took the initiative to call him, he hesitated again.

Forget it, it should be just the delusion of most forensic doctors, who want to communicate with the corpse at the soul level.

Putting away his phone, Locke looked at the driver in front and wanted to take the initiative to say hello to him. It can be seen that the other party just wanted to chat with him.

Most of the Asians who drive Uber in Los Angeles are Chinese.

Unexpectedly, the Chinese driver sat upright, looking at the front with a focused face, and his expression was even a little nervous.

Locke was stunned for a moment, remembering that he should have scared the other party with the conversation with Catherine Murphy just now, he shrugged his shoulders, so forget it!

Half an hour later, Locke arrived at the Mendes repair shop. As soon as he got out of the car, the Tesla model Y ran very fast.

Because it was an appointment in advance, Sarah Mendes heard the noise and immediately ran down from the office upstairs.

She was dressed in the same style as before, with a pink belly-revealing tight T-shirt on the upper body and washed denim hot pants on the lower body, showing her charming and graceful figure and slender straight legs, exuding the breath of youth and enthusiasm.

“Hi, Locke…”

“Hi, Sarah…”

Looking at the beautiful and beautiful girl in front of him, Locke’s heart was throbbing, and he remembered an old Chinese saying that everyone has a love of beauty.

A beautiful woman is simply a work of art, which makes people dazzled and pleasing to the eye, regardless of desire.

Especially her smile, which is like the first ray of sunshine in the morning, clean and clear.

Obviously, she is not doing well, but she is so optimistic and innocent, which makes people want to protect her and want to protect this smile.

Sarah Mendes waved her slender arm at Locke, snapped her fingers, and smiled: “Let” go, I’ll take you to see your car. Victor and Ryder are out and will be back soon…” Locke followed Sarah to the repair shop. His F150 Raptor has been completely renewed. Without those fancy decals, the whole car looks much more stable and restrained. The whole car has been deeply cleaned and polished, and then plated with crystal. The paint looks very bright, almost like new. This is what he wants! Locke immediately thought of Sarah Mendes bending down to wash his car, and praised: “It’s very clean, I will give you an extra tip!” Sarah Mendes smiled proudly: “This is what I am good at…” Then Sarah showed Locke the modified parts one by one. Although Locke also participated in the modification, the finished product and the semi-finished product are different after all. The glass of the car was replaced with bulletproof glass, so the door was also replaced with a custom one, which looks particularly thick. This is the most expensive part of this modification. The air suspension was installed in accordance with Locke’s equipment plan.

The wheels and tires were also replaced with new ones, which was completely Victor Mendes’s plan.

The wheels were customized, with a larger wheel diameter, made of high-carbon steel, and smoked black to match the body color.

The tires were still BFGoodrich all-terrain, but wide tires were selected to increase comfort.

The refrigerator and gun box in the trunk were also installed, and the previously cut parts were installed tightly.

Sarah Mendes had already poured some ice cubes into the refrigerator, saying that it was to test the effect of the refrigerator.

She shook her slender collarbone and smiled, “I wanted to put a dozen Coronas in for you, but Victor reminded me that if I put beer in now, it would shake violently when driving…”

Locke was surprised and said, “I didn’t expect Victor to be so careful!”

Sarah Mendes frowned slightly, “You are prejudiced against him…”

“Sorry, my fault!”

Locke apologized tactfully, who can blame the deep brother-sister relationship!

He opened the gun cabinet. The rails had a strong damping feeling and would not shake. There were fixings on the shelves. Once the Remington M700P was purchased, it could be put directly in. There was also a place to put pistols and bullets next to it. It was simply a mobile gun warehouse.

He nodded and said, “Cool!!!”

“As long as you like it, the folding seat in the back seat has been reserved. It may not arrive until next week at the earliest…”

After finishing the business, Sarah Mendes looked a little embarrassed, “In fact, you completed the difficult parts by yourself. We just installed them. You helped us last time, so this time we will only charge you the cost of the accessories…”

Locke frowned slightly, “How can this be embarrassing!”

The reason why he did it himself last time was just to speed up the efficiency, not to save money.

In his opinion, the Mendes siblings were already living a miserable life and were not financially relaxed. If he worked for nothing this time, it would go against his original intention.

Sarah Mendes said calmly: “It doesn’t matter. Edmund has taught us since childhood that we only take the money we deserve!”

She seemed not to want to talk about this topic anymore, and said excitedly: “Locke, do you want to test drive?”

Locke had already thought about how to deal with this. His eyes swept across her graceful curves, and he suddenly thought a little wrong, and nodded: “Of course!”

Ten minutes later, Locke drove the F150 Raptor around the neighborhood and returned to the repair shop.

Overall, it basically met his expectations, and the comfort was improved a lot, but he was still a little dissatisfied with the power of the engine.

3.5-liter V6, power of 450 horsepower, torque of 691 Nm, still not enough.

Two ideas suddenly popped up in Locke’s mind, change an engine, Ford is not without a V8 engine

For example, the 5.2-liter V8 engine outputs 522 kilowatts and 868 Nm of torque. If he tunes it, the data will be even more powerful.

Or, he can design a turbocharger system himself.

Locke prefers the latter. After his car driving has been promoted to L4, he has a deep knowledge reserve of automobile mechanical structure and automobile power system, and he really wants to try it himself.

He turned his head to look at Sarah Mendes, who was staring at him in the co-pilot seat, “Sarah, does the repair shop have CNC machine tools?”

Sarah Mendes asked almost at the same time: “Locke, can you race?”

“…”

“…”

After looking at each other, the two answered almost at the same time.

“Yes, but no one can use it anymore.”

“Yes…”

Sarah Mendes’ eyes flashed, revealing a look of joy. Just now when Locke was driving, she found that Locke exuded a unique charm when driving the car, which was a sense of harmony between man and car that only drivers have.

Just as she was about to ask in detail, she heard the roar of an engine outside the car, and Victor Mendes’ Chevrolet Silverado appeared in the rearview mirror.

“Victor is back…”

Sarah Mendes hurriedly pushed the door and got out of the car to greet him.

What a good relationship between brother and sister!

Locke curled his lips, feeling a little jealous for some reason. He also pushed the door and got out of the car, and saw Victor Mendes and Ryder each taking two gun boxes from the back seat of the Chevrolet Silverado.

He took a glance and immediately recognized them: a Mossberg Maverick 500 shotgun, a Mossberg 930 semi-automatic shotgun, a Remington M870 shotgun, and an AR15 series semi-automatic rifle, all of which were home defense weapons.

Mossberg Shotgun Series

Sarah Mendez was holding a Glock G17 box with excitement, and shouted: “Victor, when are we going to practice shooting…”

Locke suddenly realized that she was excited to meet him because of this gun.

Victor Mendez was much more polite this time. After greeting him, he asked: “How is it? Is there any problem with the car?”

“Very good, I am very satisfied!”

Locke frowned slightly, glanced at the guns in their hands, and felt like they were going to fight. He asked: “What happened?”
