what does "keep thinking that" here mean? “Threats and harassment,” Eli said, oddly calm again. “That should give my attorney an excellent springboard. I took it before, and I let the life I had go down the drain. I won’t take it again. I’ve answered your questions. You’ll need to go through my lawyers now.” He got to his feet. “I want you out of my house.” “Your grandmother’s house.” Eli nodded. “I stand corrected. I want you out of my grandmother’s house.” “Mr. Landon.” Corbett got to his feet. “I apologize if you feel threat-ened or harassed.” Eli simply stared. “Really? If?” “The fact is, due to the connection, due to the victim’s purpose here in Whiskey Beach, you’re a person of interest. I’d like to ask if you own a gun.” “A gun? No. No, I don’t.” “Is there a gun in the house?” “I couldn’t say.” Now he smiled. “It’s my grandmother’s house.” “We’ll get a warrant,” Wolfe put in.“Then get one. You’ll need one to get back in this house because I’m done being badgered and hounded by you.” He walked out, to the door, opened it. “We’re done.” “Keep thinking that,” Wolfe muttered as he strode out. “I appreciate your time,” Corbett said. “Good because I’m finished giving it.” Eli firmly closed the door. Then allowed his hands to ball into fists. Corbett waited until he and Wolfe were in the car. “God damn it! What the fuck were you doing?” “He did it, and he’s not getting away with it again.” “For fuck’s sake.” Infuriated, Corbett stomped on the gas. “Even if he had motive, which we don’t know, can’t prove, his opportunity is below nil. He gets Duncan up to the lighthouse in the middle of the damn night, shoots him, shoves him off the cliff, then pulls off the rest? The way he spelled it out’s exactly right.”2. does "warrant"here =search warrant?

It's either a search warrant or arrest warrant - I'm not totally sure which. "keep thinking that" is usually spoken ironically as a response when you do not agree with another person's opinion. It means something like : "you can think that if you want to, but you're wrong and I'm not going to worry about your opinion"
