Tom Williams’ smile froze, he turned to look at the door, then glanced at the corpse, and suddenly thought of something, and walked towards the door with a gloomy face, followed by the others.

At the door, two CIA agents looked at Locke and the other three with cold expressions. After seeing Tom Williams, an older agent showed him his ID, “I am a Senior Special Agent of the CIA. Agent) Jamie Howard…” Tom Williams frowned and stared at the CIA agent. He had already guessed the purpose of their coming here. “Detective Bureau, Robbery and Murder Division, Tom Williams…” Jamie Howard curled his lips and complimented: “It turned out to be the famous LAPD detective Captain Tom. Captain Tom, the deceased is a retired CIA agent. This case…” Tom Williams interrupted him coldly, “I remember that the CIA has no law enforcement power in the United States!” Jamie Howard’s face twitched, and he replied calmly: “Thank you for your reminder, so this case will be taken over by the FBI, they are on the way…” Tom Williams said with a sour face: “I need to make a call…” Jamie Howard looked calm, “Please, but please ask your people to stop working immediately to avoid destroying the scene. In addition, please hand over the evidence you just collected to the FBI…” Tom Williams made a call in front of everyone and hung up the phone soon. He turned his head and ordered behind him: “Everyone, go home , William, you stay and hand over to the FBI…” After saying that, he glanced at Locke who was looking straight at him. His face turned pale and he left without saying anything. Sophia, Dean Dyson, the black man Jimmy and a group of detectives behind him all looked very ugly. It was too embarrassing to have the case robbed halfway. In Los Angeles, even the FBI would not rob the case so directly. Usually, they would notify the upper level of the detective bureau first. So Dean Dyson and the black man Jimmy led the detectives of the detective bureau to leave one after another. Sophia walked a few steps and stopped again, turning her head to look at Locke, “Locke, I apologize to you on behalf of Captain Tom, but he really values ​​you…” Locke looked calm, and he was a little gloating over Tom Williams being slapped in the face by the CIA, “Detective Sophia, please remind Captain Tom that I won!” Sophia was startled, and then she realized that Locke had won the bet that he had just made with Tom Williams. She frowned and asked, “You, you knew we would hand over this case?”

Locke shrugged and glanced at the CIA next to him, “I guessed, but fortunately, I guessed right. Otherwise, I would have to face Tom Williams’s stinky face…”

“…”

Sophia smiled bitterly. It seemed that Locke really hated Tom Williams to the extreme, but Tom still wanted to pull him into the team.

After Sophia left, Locke found two CIA agents looking at him. Although both of them were wearing sunglasses, he still felt their gazes. It should be that his conversation with Sophia attracted their attention.

It must be said that these two CIA agents were too pretentious, even more pretentious than the FBI.

Locke immediately thought of one thing. Since this case involves the CIA, it is not something they can get involved in. After all, the relationship between LAPD and the FBI and CIA is completely different from that of the Detective Bureau. They have no obligation to assist the CIA and FBI.

He immediately asked: “Sir, since the FBI will take over this case, can we leave?”

Jamie Howard turned his head and glanced at his colleague next to him. The CIA agent who had not spoken said: “Please wait a moment. When the FBI comes, you can sign a confidentiality agreement and leave…”

Locke frowned and said unhappily: “I need to ask my boss…”

In the United States, even law enforcement officers are unwilling to sign such things unless they have no choice. They are bound by constraints for nothing.

And in terms of procedures, he has to report to Captain Jones.

The CIA agent hesitated for a moment and replied: “Yes, but you can’t disclose the case…”

Locke couldn’t help it immediately. Damn it, the people from the Detective Bureau didn’t sign any confidentiality agreement just now. Why do they ask so much from here!

He asked, “Sir, if I don’t report the case, how can my boss assess the risk of this matter!”

“Wait a moment…”

After the two CIA agents walked aside and exchanged a few words, Jamie Howard said, “You can report to your boss, but we need to know your boss’s confidentiality level…”

Locke had no choice but to think about it and told Anna Davis’ identity. After all, Richard Jones’ rank was still a little lower.

When Jamie Howard knew that Anna Davis was a police inspector, he immediately nodded in agreement.

Locke immediately called Anna Davis. As soon as the call was connected, he immediately said: “Captain, there are some changes regarding the shooting case at the apartment building at 55 Biller Street. This case involves the CIA…”

He told Anna Davis what had just happened and the CIA’s request. After listening, Anna Davis asked him to hand over the phone to the CIA.

Locke handed the phone to Jamie Howard, “Sir, Captain Davis wants to talk to you…”

In the speeding Ford Explorer, the atmosphere was very depressing, mainly because Tom Williams in the co-pilot seat had a gloomy face, which made Dean Dyson and Jimmy in the back seat dare not say a word.

After a while, Tom Williams asked: “What do you think of this case? ”

Dean Dyson saw that Sophia, who was driving, had no intention of speaking, so he replied: “Since the deceased is a retired CIA agent, many things are clear. The killer’s method was neat and tidy, without leaving too many traces. It was obviously done by a professional killer. I suspect that there is a problem within the CIA…”

Tom Williams raised his eyebrows, “Do you suspect that the killer is also from the CIA?”

Dean Dyson nodded and said: “The deceased was not tortured, and it is likely that he was simply silenced…”

Tom Williams crossed his hands and said without comment: “There is nothing wrong with this logic. Then go back and summarize how many criminal cases in the United States from last year to now have been taken over by the CIA or FBI before they even started, just like this case…”

Dean lost his voice and said: “You mean…, I understand!”

Tom Williams turned to Sophia and asked: “Why did that kid know that the deceased was related to the CIA? ”

Sophia replied: “He didn’t say the deceased was related to the CIA, he just suggested handing over the case…”

Tom Williams raised his eyebrows, “Is there any difference?”

“Of course!”

Sophia also pondered for a moment and said: “He should have discovered something and realized that this case is not something we can handle, but we thought at the time that he thought we couldn’t catch the murderer, uh, but it’s the same idea, the case was intercepted, and we still can’t catch the murderer…”

Tom Williams asked: “What else did he say?”

Sophia smiled gloatingly: “He asked me to remind you that you lose!”

“Fuck…”

Tom Williams cursed angrily, but soon calmed down, with a nervous smile on his lips, “I am now looking forward to his coming to the detective bureau more and more…”
