The next morning, Locke received a call from Anna Davis. The protection order for the Locke family would end at 3 p.m.

Operation Thunder against the Copernicus organization by lapd and dhs (Department of Homeland Security) will end at 12 noon. In the list of characters provided by the FBI, except for those who fled the United States early from the US-Mexico border when they saw that the momentum was not going right, basically all of them were arrested .

The remaining forces of the Copernicus organization in the United States have been uprooted this time, and there is no longer any soil for survival.

Anna Davis also informed Locke to return to the Wilshire Police Station in the morning. Since the danger had been basically eliminated, she arranged Locke's internal investigation procedures for the murder in the morning so that Locke could go to work normally next Monday. .

As soon as Locke went out, William Tilton came out of the house next to him, and he hurriedly greeted him.

The two shook hands, and William Tilton asked: "Locke, where are you going? Do you want to..."

He shrugged and spread his hands, "You know, this is the procedure!"

Locke smiled and replied: "Go back to Wilshire Police Station to accept the investigation and questioning of this incident..."

William Tilton calmed down. There was no one in the entire lapd who disliked this process. He comforted him: "Don't worry, you are definitely just following a process this time!"

Locke was not worried about this investigation. Those killed were all terrorists, and there was nothing worthy of questioning at all.

He asked: "Have you received the notice?"

William Tilton nodded and said: "I got it, the protection order ends at three o'clock in the afternoon, and we will escort you home then..."

Locke stretched out his hand to William Tilton, "Captain Tilton, thank you for your protection these two days. On behalf of my family, I would like to express my highest respect to you and the guys..."

William Tilton held Locke's hand and smiled: "It is our honor to protect a lapd hero and his family, and thank you for your cooperation. This is an easy mission. Well, thank you for yesterday's pizza and Burgers, gorilla pizza, fiveguys burgers, and Starbucks coffee, there is no more wonderful mission than this..."

Locke and William Tilton left each other's contact information and agreed to invite members of the team to drink together later, then got in the car and drove away from the Belmont community.

On the way to the Wilshire Police Station, Locke suddenly received a call from Victor Mendez.

Didn’t everything get done last night?

Last night, thanks to the FBI's proactive attack, Martin and his group were directly blocked at the stronghold. They also seized stolen goods. Illegal automatic weapons and a large amount of drugs were found at the scene.

This morning, the FBI and LASP (Los Angeles County Police) arrested the leaders of the Smith family in Fullerton City.

Locke answered the Bluetooth phone and asked, "Victor, what's the matter?"

Victor Mendez said in a slightly reserved voice: "Locke, I want to know about Sam's situation. Uh, you know, Sam joined the Smith family because of my help. He was arrested by the FBI last night. I want to ask if you can get Sam out..."

Locke blurted back: "No problem, I'll ask later..., wait, tell me about Sam's situation..."

After Victor Mendes told the general situation about Sam, Locke frowned and said, "Are you sure you want to get him out?"

According to Victor's description, Sam has been on the streets since he was a child, but he has never joined any gang before. If the gang gives him money, he will do things for that gang and do odd jobs here and there. He is a peripheral gangster at the bottom of the gray world.

This time, in order to help Victor, he officially joined the Smith family, but he was still just a low-level little Karami.

Victor Mendes was a little confused and asked: "Is there any problem?"

Locke explained: "A young Karami like Sam will be released after a short period of time as long as there are no cases against him. However, once connections are used to get him out, his identity as an undercover agent will be exposed. He won’t be able to continue to hang out in the gray world in the future, and he might even get killed..."

He asked: "Will Sam go back to the repair shop to hang out with you in the future?"

After all, Victor Mendez has never really been in the gray world, but when Locke said this, he reacted instantly, "I have invited him before, but he was unwilling to come to the repair shop..."

Locke understood instantly and said with a smile: "Look, don't worry too much. For people like Sam, going to prison is equivalent to further education. It can increase his resume, but you can ask his family to visit him and see him What do you think?"

Victor Mendez said gratefully: "Locke, thank you, I will ask Ryder to meet him. When will you come to the repair shop?"

"Didn't you say thank you last night? We are friends, there is no need to be so polite..."

Locke replied casually as he drove into Wilshire. He had noticed the restraint in Victor Mendez's words, which made him somewhat unexpected.

After parking the car, he said: "You all know what happened in Los Angeles the day before yesterday. I am currently on administrative leave. I have something to do this weekend. I won't be free until next week at the earliest. By then, the drawings of the turbocharger should also be ready. Okay. Well, by the way, Sarah must have been frightened yesterday, say hello to her for me!”

"Victor, when the lawsuit in the parking lot is over, everything will be fine. Come on!"

……

The investigation process this time was exactly as Locke guessed. It was completely procedural, and the questions asked were all from his transcripts.

After each session, those who participated in the investigation would lovingly express their respect to him.

This made Locke feel magical, and he felt that he had understood the essence of lapd's operation.

However, it is obvious that within the police department, most people in the middle and lower levels still adhere to the honor and belief of Lapd.

I respect his heroic actions the day before yesterday and regard him as a hero.

Also, if the people at the bottom don’t believe it anymore, the team will really break up.

After completing the investigation process, Locke went to see Anna Davis again. He wanted to apply for a vehicle-carrying automatic rifle. The hk416 was placed in the police car, but it was never fired. It was a waste.

If he had the HK416 in hand last time, Carl Ripp would have had no chance to fire rockets. The pistol's range was too short.

Although the United States does not ban guns, citizens can buy guns at will, but the management of guns is very strict.

Each state has different policies on openly carrying a gun, concealing a gun, etc. Some 26 states in the United States, such as Florida, no longer require a gun license.

For example, ordinary citizens cannot buy fully automatic rifles, only semi-automatic ones. The guns can only be kept at home or at a shooting range. During transportation, the guns must be in the trunk and the ammunition separated.

This is why people are accused of illegally possessing guns even though guns are legal to buy and sell.

There are also strict rules and regulations for police officers to carry automatic rifles. Putting them in police cars while on duty and in private cars are completely different concepts and require strict review.

Anna Davis signed for Locke without much hesitation, and said regretfully: "I originally wanted to invite you to dinner this weekend, and Harry would also attend, but I didn't expect Marianne to say that you would go back to Lebec..."

Locke smiled and said: "It's not like there's no chance. Staying in the safe house this time scared Jester. By the way, next time you are free, you can also go to Lebec together. The scenery there is really good, Marcy should You will like it there, you can ride horses..."

After Locke left, Anna Davis's last thought came up again.

Perhaps, you can test Marianne first.
