Los Angeles Detective

On the other end of the phone, Zhang Jianguo hung up the phone.

Zhang Jianmin couldn't help asking, "Brother, Captain Li, what do you say?"

"Captain Li said that he is out of town and won't be back until a few days later, so we can talk about it when we get back."

Zhang Jianmin thought for a while, his face changed slightly, "He was still in Los Angeles two days ago, why did he go out of town suddenly? Could it be an excuse?"

Zhang Jianguo was a little uncertain, and complained, "Yesterday I said to call Captain Li, you dawdled there, hesitating this and that, now it's all right, people are not happy.

If you want to wait for a quasi-letter, you have to wait at least a week.

We have completely offended Jinlang Building Materials Company. If something happens this week, we have no place to reason. "

Zhang Jianmin also felt aggrieved, "It can't be my fault, 20% of the company's shares is not a small amount, it's not just about us, we have to give an explanation to our family.

Besides, when the two of us were indecisive in the past, you didn't save me face, so you just made a decision.

Why didn't you make a decision yesterday? Don't you hesitate too? "

"Okay, don't talk about this, think about how to solve it, and don't tell your daughter-in-law about anything in the future.

What does he know as a woman, with shallow eyelids. "

"I don't want to say it either. I'm afraid that the couple will quarrel in the future."

"Okay, don't tell your wife about this in the future, and tell her after we're done."

"Brother, then what do you think Captain Li means now?"

"Or, he really went to another place for something.

Either they think we have a bad attitude and deliberately leave them alone.

The worst possible thing is that you don't want to cooperate with us. "

Zhang Jianmin scratched his head with his hands, "Probably not. Jinlang Building Materials Company is a trouble for us, but it's not a big deal for him. Doesn't our cooperation with him mean giving him money for nothing?"

Zhang Jianguo glared at him, "Let me tell you, don't say this again in the future, you are not a fool, why would you take the initiative to give money to others for nothing? You are asking for something.

Jin and other building materials companies are indeed nothing to others, but they are a big trouble to us.

Bill Gates has one trillion yuan, which is also his own, and he will not give you a dime.

Get rid of this idea as soon as possible, otherwise I would rather not cooperate with Captain Li, and save you from causing big trouble in the future. "

"Brother, don't be angry, I'm just telling you, I'm not stupid, how could I tell outsiders.

I just think there is no reason for Captain Li not to cooperate with us. It is good for us and good for him. "

"It's true under normal circumstances. I'm afraid..." Zhang Jianguo said with an unnatural expression on his face.

Zhang Jianmin asked, "What are you afraid of?"

"I'm afraid that Jinlang Building Materials Company will also seek cooperation with him. If Jinlong Building Materials Company finds him and proposes more favorable cooperation conditions, will he give up cooperation with us?"

Zhang Jianmin opened his mouth wide, with an unbelievable look, "Probably not, Captain Li is a policeman, and Jinlang Building Materials Company is backed by gangs. How can they cooperate?"

Zhang Jianguo said worriedly, "I don't know if they will cooperate, but I know that if they cooperate, our company will die."

Zhang Jianmin's face also turned pale, "Why don't I go to the police station to look for Captain Li, maybe he really wants to show us off, I'll ask him to admit his mistake and lower his posture, what do you think?"

Zhang Jianguo thought about it carefully, then shook his head, "No, since Captain Li said he is not in Los Angeles, even if he is, we can only pretend that he is not.

We can't take the initiative to find him, we can only wait.

Otherwise, if you really want to pierce the face, there is really no room for repayment. "

"Then let's just do nothing and just wait. Doesn't this make people anxious to death?"

"Let me think about it again." Zhang Jianguo was also in a panic. When he met Luke the day before yesterday, the other party proposed to ask for 20% of the shares. He rationally told Zhang Jianguo that this was a good opportunity for cooperation and would be beneficial to them.

But he was somewhat unwilling to let him give up 20% of the shares, which is why he didn't contact Luke immediately yesterday.

Unexpectedly, only one day later, there was another change on Luke's side. Even if he wanted to give the original 20% of the shares, he might not be able to give it out.

He began to worry about gains and losses again, regretting that he hadn't made a decision yesterday. If Luke came to him now, he would definitely hand over 20% of the shares to the other party without hesitation, without hesitation, and willingly.

By the way, if Luke wants to invest in shares, he will definitely not directly ask for shares, but will invest in the purchase of shares.

Isn't the amount of shares purchased an attitude?

This is also an opportunity to show favor.

Zhang Jianguo looked at his brother beside him, "Jianmin, I'm going to sell 20% of the company's shares to Captain Li for $20,000, what do you think?"

Zhang Jianmin's eyes widened, feeling a little pained, "20% of the company's shares are only sold for 20,000 US dollars!

What's the difference between this and free gift? "

Zhang Jianguo waved his hand and said without doubt, "That's it."

Zhang Jianmin "..."

What are you up to?

Now start to do it again.

You were so stubborn yesterday, didn't you just sign the contract?

It's not going to sell the shares at the price of cabbage.

Feel free to blame me.

Zhang Jianguo ignored his younger brother's thoughts, edited a text message, and sent it to Luke.

There are two main points in the content of the text message. One is to express your willingness to cooperate.

The second is to offer to sell 20% of the shares at a price of 20,000 US dollars.

Both the face and the reputation were given, Zhang Jianguo did everything he could do, and he felt at ease.

The rest is up to providence.

...

St. Thomas Island Pier.

Dozens of luxury yachts are docked here.

There are more than 50 islands in the U.S. Virgin Islands. Many tourists will rent a yacht when they come here to shuttle between the islands, which is also a major feature of local tourism.

At this time, Luke also boarded a white luxury yacht-Chris.

The yacht has two floors, with a total length of nearly 100 feet. The interior decoration of the yacht is gorgeous, with complete facilities, including a cab, a living room, a small bar, four bedrooms, two toilets, and a bathroom. It is more luxurious than Luke’s previous fishing yachts. many.

"Bang bang..."

There was a sound of running fast on the deck, and the girl in glasses ran around excitedly, "My God! This yacht is so beautiful, can I take a picture? I can't wait to post it on Facebook."

"No, it's best not to do this." Lilith explained, "Don't forget the purpose of our visit this time, your posting on Facebook is tantamount to exposing our whereabouts.

Although there may not be danger, but one more thing is worse than one less thing. "

Luke showed a look of approval. Although he came to treasure hunting with a playful attitude, he should try his best not to make some low-level mistakes. People can be killed, but they cannot be killed by stupidity.

"Then can I take a picture first? Post on Facebook after the treasure hunt is over."

"Good idea." Lilith stretched out her right hand, "Let me help you take pictures, I have learned videography before." Lilith looked at Luke aside again, and by the way, "I also learned diving and first aid .”

Luke glanced around, "Is this specifically for me?"

"I just don't want to be regarded as a rich second generation who will only hinder my progress."

"I never said that."

"But some people think so."

Luke said, "It doesn't matter how you think or how you say it. The key depends on how you do it."

"You're right, as the person in charge of this treasure hunt, I really should do something." Lilith glanced at her watch, "Give everyone half an hour to pack up.

Half an hour later, the glasses girl sailed.

Let's get acquainted with the surrounding environment and have a small party on the yacht at seven o'clock in the evening.

Celebrate the official establishment of our treasure hunting team.

What do you think? "

"good idea."

"You are the boss."

Soon, everyone split up. Luke didn't have much luggage. He was the first to pack some outdoor equipment and a few thin clothes.

There are matching fishing rods and tackle on the yacht, and Luke just sits on the deck and fishes, which feels very cool.

At the same time, I also have a question in my heart. The yacht is indeed comfortable to live in, but is it really suitable for treasure hunting?

However, considering Lilith's identity and the true intention of the treasure hunt, Luke didn't say much.

half an hour later.

The Chris yacht officially set sail and drove quickly in the turbulent Caribbean Sea. The sea water is very clear and the visibility is very high. You can clearly see the fish swimming in the sea. Where the sea water is shallow, you can also see the white sandy beach on the bottom of the sea.

Luke fixed two fishing rods beside the side of the boat. One fishing line is thicker and the other is thinner. Different fishing lines are equipped with different hooks, and the types of fish caught are also different.

After fixing the fishing rod, Luke stood by the side of the boat to enjoy the surrounding scenery. The beauty of the Caribbean Sea is no worse than that of Hawaii Island, and there are many islands here, and each island has a different scenery.

Looking at the magnificent sea view and beautiful natural scenery, Luke almost forgot about the treasure hunt, thinking that he was here for vacation.

A gust of fragrant wind came, and Luke turned his head to look, and saw Lilith standing not far away, watching the distance with a telescope.

Luke tentatively asked, "Did you find anything?"

"No, the island where the treasure is suspected to be hidden is relatively remote, and I'm afraid I won't be able to go there today."

Luke asked, "Where did you find Glasses Girl and Elsa Marin, are you familiar with them?"

"Not too familiar."

"Is it reliable?"

"Glasses girl's mother has worked in our family for a long time. Glasses girl has been very smart since she was a child, especially talented in electronics. My father is sponsoring her to go to college.

Elsa Marin was also recommended by an elder. She met her on vacation here. She went to college in the United States and is familiar with the situation here. She is a very suitable guide. "

Luke asked, "How sure are you that you'll find the treasure?"

"I don't know either. Although I have made a lot of preparations in advance, this is my first treasure hunt after all..." Lilith showed an expression that you understand.

Luke asked curiously, "Apart from that treasure map, are there any other clues about the treasure?"

Lilith hesitated for a moment, then smiled sweetly, "Your fish is hooked."

Luke turned his head, and sure enough, he saw the thick-line fishing rod move. Luke firmly grabbed the fishing rod and dragged it hard.

"Boom"

The 100-pound line was taut, and the force seemed to pull Luke overboard.

It's big time.

Luke let the line out, using up the fish first.

Lilith asked, "Need help?"

"This fish has great strength, and it may not be able to pull it up for a while, so the glasses girl should slow down the speed of the boat."

"OK." Lilith went to the cab.

Not long after, the speed of the yacht slowed down.

But the pull on the line was still so strong that Luke had to let it go again.

With a "plop", the big fish briefly surfaced. Although it was far away, Luke felt that it should be a bluefin tuna.

Luke was a little surprised, he was lucky today.

Still, bluefin fishing was hard work, and Luke had to find someone to help.

"Hey ladies, any gym regulars? Come and do me a favor."

Elsa Marin came over, "I seldom go to the gym, but I went fishing with my dad when I was eight years old, so I should be able to help you."

"This guy is big, so be prepared."

Elsa Marin came over, "Do you know what kind of fish it is?"

"Should be bluefin tuna."

Elsa Marin was a little envious, "Congratulations."

Lilith waved the flag and shouted, "This is a good sign, I like to eat bluefin tuna."

After tugging with the bluefin tuna for twenty minutes, Luke was a little tired and handed the fishing rod to Elsa Marin beside him.

Elsa Marin didn't look very strong, and Luke was worried at first that she wouldn't be able to hold the fishing rod.

But after Elsa Marin took the fishing rod, she caught it steadily, and her fishing skills were very good, and her fishing skills surpassed Luke's.

Elsa Marin persisted for more than ten minutes, but couldn't hold on any longer, and handed it to Luke again.

At this time, the strength of the bluefin tuna was much weaker than before. Luke began to try to reel in the line, and the bluefin tuna surfaced again. When the bluefin tuna was pulled near the yacht, Elsa Marin picked up the fish The fork stabbed down hard.

The harpoon hit the bluefin tuna and it rolled on the surface, blood staining the surrounding sea.

Then, Elsa Marin wrapped the rope around the tail of the bluefin tuna, and everyone worked together to pull the bluefin tuna onto the deck.

This bluefin tuna is not too big, only about one meter, and the weight is estimated to be less than 200 pounds, which is much smaller than the bluefin tuna Luke caught before.

It is precisely because of this that the three of them worked together to pull the bluefin tuna onto the yacht.

If the bluefin tuna is too big and heavy, it will be difficult to haul it to the deck of the yacht.

Luke bleeds the bluefin tuna, cuts the veins, arteries, removes the gills and guts, cleans the fish, and refrigerates them in ice water.

Luke moved swiftly without any hesitation, and was already sweating profusely after handling the tuna.

If it is not handled in time, the fish will not be fresh.

Luke washed up briefly, and Lilith handed over a towel thoughtfully, "What are you going to do with this fish?"

Luke said, "We definitely can't finish this fish. We can cut off dozens of catties of meat and keep it for eating, and sell the rest."

Lilith said, "Why don't you sell it to me."

"What did you buy it for?"

"There are many yachts parked on the pier, and they should be tourists here for vacation. I want to share the bluefin tuna meat with them. After all, we caught it ourselves. I think it is very meaningful and should be shared with everyone."

Elsa Marin reminded, "This bluefin tuna is worth at least $10,000."

"I'll give you twenty thousand dollars."

The premium is high, why would Luke disagree?

Yacht deck.

The sharp dagger cut the fish into large pieces, and Luke cut off dozens of catties of the fattest meat and kept them for their own use.

The rest of the bluefin tuna was divided into 20 portions.

Return to the pier.

Lilith generously distributed the bluefin tuna she and her companions caught to the tourists on the surrounding yachts.

Lilith's behavior quickly won the favor of the surrounding tourists, and many people took the initiative to invite her to the evening party.

But because of the treasure hunt, Lilith politely declined.

In the evening, Luke and others held a small party on the deck of the yacht.

The party food is very rich, tuna sashimi, local roast suckling pig, lobster, grouper, squid, eel, various fresh vegetables and fruits, and rum.

These things didn’t cost money, they were all gifts from tourists around. There were quite a lot of things, enough for Luke and the others to eat for a week.

Blowing the sea breeze, watching the sea view, eating seafood, and tasting the local characteristic rum, it has a special flavor.

The four exchanged cups and chatted about their experiences, and quickly became acquainted.

With this experience and ease, even if he couldn't find the treasure, Luke felt that the trip was worthwhile.

The next day was the official treasure hunt, so everyone didn't drink too much, and it ended around 11:00 pm, and each went back to the room to rest.

Because he was sleeping on the yacht, the hull was a little shaking, but fortunately, Luke was in good health and didn't need to take seasickness medicine.

The lights on the boat dimmed, and there was no movement around. There were only a few sporadic lights on the pier, and the sea in the distance was pitch black, adding a sense of mystery.

One o'clock.

In the dead of night.

Except for the slight sea breeze, no movement could be heard.

Two furtive figures appeared on the pier. They looked like two men, wearing hoods or masks, so they couldn't see clearly.

Two furtive figures walked along the pier and climbed onto the yacht Chris along the ropes.
