After the meeting, Madeleine Hill went to Captain Cole Badman, the head of the Robbery and Murder Division, and then the two of them discussed it with Anna Davis, and finally decided to terminate the case. investigation.

Now that there is evidence that the two victims of the bombing were most likely the murderers of the two rapes and murders, there is no need to continue to waste police resources. After all, the case has been transferred to the FBI.

So Locke and the others suddenly entered a state of leisure with no case to investigate, and they could sit in the office and drink coffee.

However, compared to Harry Sumner and the others, who quickly got out of this case, Locke was a little grudge. After joining the police detective bureau, he had the most frustrating time handling this case.

He admitted that he did take the case lightly at first and did not take it seriously.

But when he got serious, he found that this case made him feel helpless and had nowhere to contribute. Now that the case was taken over by the FBI, it made him feel stuck and a little frustrated.

He also wanted to find out the truth of the case even if the murderer was dead.

Harry Sumner walked to Locke with a coffee cup. He leaned on the desk and said with a smile, "Does it feel like you finally took off your clothes, but were forced to interrupt?"

Locke looked at the scumbag speechlessly and said with a smile: "It's a very appropriate metaphor, but we have never experienced anything like this!"

Harry Sumner took a sip of coffee, "Since the deputy team is not here, I have the obligation to impart some of my experience. Many newcomers find it difficult to accept this period. However, we must understand that not everyone Cases will all have results. Some cases will become unresolved, some cases will be transferred, and some cases will even be asked to be terminated. You have to learn to adapt. I understand this feeling very well. It is just like chasing a woman. We spend a lot of money on it. I put a lot of energy into this woman, but she was taken away by another man..."

Locke was startled, then laughed and said: "Okay, so this is what it feels like to have a woman taken away from you, okay, I understand. But anyway, thank you, Harry..."

Fuck, this guy tricked me!

Harry Sumner gave Locke a middle finger and left with a displeased expression on his face while holding the coffee cup.

After Locke finished his coffee, he called Anna Davis and asked her if she was free now. After receiving a positive reply, he said hello to Madeleine Hill and left the office.

……

In Anna Davis's office, Locke looked at the Walter Python revolver in front of him like a work of art, and was very surprised.

This is a 80-inch customized Colt Python produced in the 6s. It is one of the most classic revolvers in the United States and uses .357 Magnum bullets.

The stainless steel gun body and bullet chamber are engraved with exquisite patterns and inscriptions, and the grip is inlaid with gold, making it full of luxury.

This gun is worth at least $40,000 to $50,000.

Locke asked in confusion: "Why did Grandma Nancy give me this gun?"

The Colt Python in front of me was collected by the legendary LAPD detective Henry Morgan during his lifetime. This gun is very famous. After he rescued the kidnapped daughter of a wealthy businessman, the wealthy businessman specially customized this gold-inlaid gun for him in order to thank him. Colt python.

The price at the time was $2500, and an ordinary 6-inch Colt Python was only $165 at that time.

Anna Davis replied: "This is Henry Morgan's prize. Nancy said that Henry said that he would give this gun as a reward to whoever finds him dead!"

Locke asked: "Do I have to accept it?"

Anna Davis looked at him speechlessly, "Why not?"

Locke thought about it for a moment, yes, this is also a kind of recognition and honor for him.

He held the gun in his hand, and it felt very weighty, just like the Colt m1911. It was easy to hold, a feeling that the Glock series made of engineering plastics could not give.

I opened the bullet chamber again and smelled it. The gunpowder inside was very weak and almost gone. It was obvious that it had not been used for a long time.

But the smell of gun oil is very strong. It seems that Grandma Nancy also maintains the gun.

Locke imitated the cowboys in western movies and twisted the python in his hand twice around his fingers. Jester would definitely like this gun. "Can I go visit Grandma Nancy?"

Since you accepted the gift, you should pay a visit to express your gratitude.

Anna Davis seemed to know that Locke would ask this. She took out a business card from the drawer and placed it in front of Locke, "Nancy has entered a nursing home. This is the address. You can visit her when you are free. I think she should Glad you came to see her..."

"Okay, I will make time to visit her!"

Locke put away the business card and took a look, instantly recognizing this nursing home. It was a well-known nursing home in California, known for its top-notch medical services.

Anna Davis added: "I thought you would ask for leave tomorrow?"

Locke knew what she was talking about and shrugged: "Marian needs me to stay and take care of Jet and Hannah..."

Anna Davis smiled and said: "Actually, you can let Jet and Hannah go home with Marcy. This is an important day for Marianne. Her career has finally reached another level..."

Then Anna Davis asked about what she needed to bring to Lebec Farm on the weekend, and then let Locke leave.

……

Since there was no case, Locke left in the afternoon, but he didn't leave early. The reason he told Madeline Hill was to meet an informant.

According to LAPD regulations, each detective or police detective can develop 2-3 informants. After registering the information, you can apply for informant fees.

Culver City, Blue Lake Community.

Locke waited for a while before he saw Erdo Madrio driving a gray Nissan Rogue over.

After Eldo Madrio got out of the car, he scanned around and saw Locke's F150 Raptor. He was stunned for a moment before walking over.

After Eldo Madrid approached, Locke asked him to get in the car and said he had something to talk to him about.

After getting in the car, Erdo Madrio immediately noticed the radio and police lights in the car. He was stunned for a moment and said in disbelief: "Mr. Li, you are actually a policeman?"

In his eyes, Locke was a wealthy man, but he didn't expect that he was a COP.

After he came to his senses, his expression suddenly became a little panicked, and he said at a loss: "Sir, we are very law-abiding and are applying for a green card..."

Locke smiled and said: "Eldo, calm down. I am Lapd, not the Immigration Bureau. I am very satisfied with your service, so I will not send you and your family to the Immigration Bureau. I am looking for you to consult with you." thing……"

Eldo Madrio felt Locke's kindness and quickly calmed down, "Please say..."

Locke asked: "I know you like to buy black cars. Can you introduce me to a person who sells black cars?"

Eldo Madrio shook his head and said: "Sorry, I have never been in contact with these people. I bought my Chevrolet express from a regular second-hand car store..."

lie!

Locke saw through it instantly, but Eldo Madrio's Chevrolet express van was indeed not a black car, and the license plate could be found.

Locke's face was calm and he continued: "We are investigating a case recently. There are missing Mexican illegal immigrants. They are also doing housekeeping. I wonder if any family members or friends around you are missing..."

Erdo Madrio's expression froze instantly.
