Los Angeles Detective

Three shots.

Three men died on deck.

Everything happened so suddenly that Lilith and the glasses girl didn't even react.

It wasn't until Elsa Marin fell to the ground and her right hand landed on Lilith's feet that she backed away in panic and let out a panicked cry, "Ah..."

The glasses girl shouted even more in horror, "Don't kill me, I don't want the treasure anymore, I don't want it anymore.

I just want to go home and find my mother...

I'm never going on a treasure hunt again..."

Luke "..."

The two were obviously frightened by the murder scene.

Luke suddenly realized that although the three were treasure hunting partners, they had only been in contact for a few days, not to mention that the traitor Elsa Marin had just appeared, and their mutual trust was greatly reduced.

Are they simply frightened by the scene in front of them?

Or are you worried that you want to kill people and steal the treasure?

perhaps……

Have it all.

Luke didn't comfort the two, but just untied the plastic handcuffs for the two, and asked, "Is there anyone else on the yacht?"

Lilith rubbed her wrists, her big blue eyes looked at Luke in a complicated way, "I don't know, I only saw Elsa Marin with the tattooed man."

Luke said, "Stay here and don't move around. There may be other people on the yacht. I'm going to search."

Hearing that there might be other gangsters, Lilith grabbed Luke's shoulder and said with concern, "Be careful."

The glasses girl also picked up her pistol again, "We will protect ourselves."

Luke smiled, did not speak, and entered the first floor of the yacht to search.

The glasses girl looked at Lilith, "Lilith, what should we do now?"

Lilith looked at the corpse on the ground and took a deep breath, "It was Luke who saved us, we should thank him."

The glasses girl nodded, "You're right, I was so scared just now, I forgot to thank him."

Lilith looked at the cab, "Is the maritime satellite phone in the cab?"

"Yes."

"Go to the police and explain the situation here and our location."

"Okay." The glasses girl's eyes lit up, and she hurried into the cab. She picked up the Maritime satellite phone and pressed the switch, but found that the Maritime satellite phone didn't respond. After careful inspection, her face changed drastically, "Lilith, Maritime The satellite phone is broken."

Lilith also hurried into the cab, "How could it be broken?"

"Could it be Elsa Marin who did it?" The glasses girl gritted her teeth. "This villain not only took the tattooed man on the yacht while we were carrying the treasure, but also took the opportunity to destroy it."

Lilith asked, "Can you fix it?"

"I am not sure."

Lilith suddenly felt an inexplicable fear and a deep sense of powerlessness. This unnamed island is relatively remote, and there are very few people. It will soon be dark, and there are no other ships around. The maritime satellite phone is destroyed, which means they Temporarily lost contact with the outside world.

...

Luke entered the first floor of the yacht, searched all the rooms, and found some equipment from Elsa Marin's room. He guessed that it was probably brought up by the tattooed man.

However, no other criminals were found.

Luke boarded the deck again, and Lilith and the glasses girl had recovered from the previous panic, but their expressions were a little strange.

Luke asked, "Have you called the police?"

The glasses girl sighed, "The maritime satellite phone is broken, so there is no way to call the police."

Lilith suggested, "Shall we go back to St. Thomas and call the police?"

"Yes, but we need to solve two problems before going back." Luke pointed to the three corpses on the ground. "St. Thomas Island is more than a hundred nautical miles away from here. Are you going to take these three corpses back together?"

Lilith shook her head, "No, I don't want to stay with these three corpses. Not even for a minute."

The glasses girl echoed, "Me too.

If you meet other people on the road, it may cause misunderstandings, which is not a good idea. "

Luke continued, "We still have one crate of gold bricks and six crates of silver bricks left in the cave.

It will take at least six or seven hours to pack up the corpses and return to St. Thomas.

After we call the police, the police may also detain us. The time when we will return to this island is still unknown. Whether the treasure in the cave is still there is anyone's guess. "

Lilith asked, "Then what do you think?"

Luke said, "Move the body to the shore first, rest for one night, bring back the remaining treasures in the cave tomorrow, and then return to St. Thomas Island to call the police.

This is my idea. "

Lilith said, "Elsa Marin should have contacted her accomplice through the maritime satellite phone, and her accomplice's boat is probably hidden somewhere near the island.

There is likely to be a maritime satellite phone on board, and we can find their ship and use their maritime satellite phone to call the police. "

Luke said, "According to your thinking, even if we find the gangster's ship, it will be dark and it will be more difficult to move the treasure.

If the police arrived here earlier, the rest of the treasure would still be in the cave.

Do you think those treasures will still belong to us? "

The rainforest was so dark at night that even Luke was in awe and didn't want to go through the rainforest at night.

Lilith shook her head slightly, "I don't know..."

"I think the premise of calling the police should be to arrange the treasure first, so that the follow-up matters can be dealt with." Although Luke is also a policeman, he does not believe in the integrity of the local police.

Huge treasures are a huge test for human nature. The more people there are, the more complicated things will be and the more variables will be.

Lilith echoed softly, "You're right. Let's do this."

Luke asked, "Why do I feel you guys are a little nervous?"

Lilith replied, "Maybe I was frightened by the gangsters."

A smile curled up on the corner of Luke's mouth, "With me here, what do you have to be afraid of?"

Lilith forced a smile, "You are right, with you here, I feel more at ease.

What should we do now? "

Luke said, "Take pictures first, and then move the corpses to the island. With the hot and humid climate here, these corpses will stink tomorrow, and there is no way to stay on the yacht by then."

Lilith and the glasses girl felt a little uncomfortable facing the gangster's corpse, but neither of them raised any objections. They assisted Luke in disposing of the corpse and cleaning the deck of the yacht.

By the time we finished packing, it was already dark.

The climate of the tropical rainforest is sweating even if you don’t move. Luke has been sweating profusely for a long time. “I’m going to take a shower, so keep an eye on it.”

After watching Luke leave, Lilith and the glasses girl looked at each other, and they both breathed a sigh of relief.

...

An hour later, a tall man with a tough face came out of the cabin on the first floor, and changed into a clean short shirt and beach pants, full of vacation style.

It's just the pistol he carries with him that destroys this harmonious picture.

Luke lit a cigarette and stood on the deck of the yacht to smoke. It was already dark, and the island on the south side seemed to be covered with a layer of black veil, adding a sense of mystery. Occasionally, he could hear the roar of a beast, mixed with Hearing the sound of the waves, he couldn't tell what kind of animal it was.

The light was on in the cab, Luke opened the door and walked in, and saw the glasses girl leaning on the table with her head down and busy.

"What are you doing?"

"ah……"

The girl in glasses was taken aback, she turned her head to look at Luke, her eyes fell on the pistol on his waist, she stood up suddenly, "I'm fixing the satellite phone." The girl in glasses waved her hand, "I'm not going to call the police , I just want to share the joy of obtaining the treasure with my family.”

Luke found a chair and sat down, and waved, "Go take a shower, relax, don't put too much pressure on yourself, the matter is over."

"Okay." The glasses girl stood up quickly, took the parts of the satellite phone, and walked quickly to the door of the cab, as if she was afraid that Luke would regret it.

Luke frowned slightly, "Where is Lilith?"

...

Yacht master bedroom, bathroom.

Lilith seemed to be lying lazily in the bathtub, but her pretty face seemed a little restless. There was a layer of white foam floating on the surface of the bathtub, and her graceful figure was looming.

Elsa Marin's betrayal made her a little hard to accept. She had already paid Elsa Marin extremely generously. She never thought that she would contact outsiders to cheat herself, not only for the treasure, but also for her own life.

At the same time, she also felt unprecedented panic and fear. She touched her towering chest and obviously felt her heart beating faster than usual.

The source of her fear is very complicated. First, she was held hostage by Elsa Marin and the tattooed man, and then Luke killed three people with a shotgun and saved her and the glasses girl.

At that moment, she was full of gratitude to Luke, but also a new fear came.

The first is the murder scene. Seeing the man named Cam being headshot directly, the murderous scene is scary even thinking about it now. Then the tattooed man and Elsa Marin were killed, both with one shot.

At that time, she was faintly worried that Luke would kill her and the glasses girl together.

She knew that she shouldn't doubt her companion, especially when the other party saved her just now.

But with the destruction of the maritime satellite phone, this fear was further deepened. They could not contact the outside world, and outsiders had no idea what happened here.

As long as Luke is willing... all the treasures will belong to him alone.

Reason told her that Luke was trustworthy, and the other party should not kill people for money.

But Elsa Marin's betrayal is just around the corner...

The ideas are tangled, but not contradictory.

Just like Marvel movies, when there are villains who want to destroy the earth, superheroes will protect the earth without hesitation, and people will be full of gratitude to them.

However, when the villain disappears.

On the contrary, superheroes may become new threats, and they injure lives, intentionally or unintentionally, no less than villains.

When people face a superhero who can decide their own life and death in a single thought, their first reaction is not safety and admiration, but fear, a fear derived from biological instinct.

Lilith lay in the bath, letting herself relax as much as possible, thinking about the current situation.

The maritime satellite phone was damaged, and they were near an uninhabited island, basically isolated from the world. It is very important that there are treasures worth more than 10 million US dollars on the yacht.

In the face of huge interests, human nature will gradually be exposed.

Luke can kill Elsa Marin and her accomplices without blinking an eye, and he can also kill her and the glasses girl, and the two together have no ability to resist.

The situation on the entire yacht is completely controlled by Luke.

She thinks differently, what would she do if she were Luke?

The first possibility is that Luke has a high moral character and never thought of taking the treasure for himself. Everything is just her wild imagination.

The second possibility, Luke is also hesitating, entangled between doing and not doing, this kind of possibility is the biggest and the scariest.

The life and death of himself and the glasses girl may be in Luke's mind.

Lilith suddenly thought of the first time she saw Luke at the party of the female deputy mayor's house. At that time, she had just bought the treasure Luke found at the auction house. She wanted to know Luke's treasure hunting experience, but was rejected The other party flatly refused.

At that time, she still felt that this man was not generous enough. Now that she thinks about it, Luke may have encountered some unspeakable things in his last treasure hunt.

For example, murder and seize treasure.

Perhaps, this is not the first time.

Lilith shuddered and shrank in the bathtub. She didn't like the feeling of being controlled by others.

She will never hunt for treasure again. At this moment, she misses home and wants to cry even more.

No, I can't just accept my fate like this.

Luke didn't do anything, which means that things still have room for change, and she can still influence and change Luke's decision.

For example, increase Luke's share of treasures and increase his favorability with himself...

half an hour later.

Lilith walked through the living room and walked outside the cab.

The door of the driver's cab was not closed. Luke heard footsteps and cast sharp eyes towards the door.

With just one glance, Lilith felt her heart beating violently.

Luke was tall and handsome, and Lilith liked his appearance, but that wasn't why her heart beat faster.

Luke also looked at Lilith. She changed into a pink, sleeveless dress with a graceful figure and a pair of long snow-white legs exposed, which was very dazzling.

"Is there a problem?"

"Is the glasses girl not here? I want to have a drink with her."

Luke shrugged and teased, "She's probably in the room fixing the satellite phone."

Lilith "..."

Is it too late to go now?

Lilith took a deep breath, secretly cheered herself up, and leaned against the cab door, "Do you want a drink?"

"why not?"

The two entered the living room, Luke sat on the soft sofa, and Lilith went to the bar to get two wine glasses and a bottle of red wine.

"Although the local rum is very special, I still like red wine." Lilith poured two glasses of red wine and handed one to Luke. "The first glass celebrates our success in finding the treasure."

Luke clinked glasses with each other, "Cheers!"

Luke wanted to drink half a glass, but seeing Lilith gulp it down, he followed suit.

Lilith poured two more glasses of red wine and clinked glasses with Luke, "The second glass, I want to thank you.

Today Elsa Marin..." Lilith showed a sad look, "I don't want to mention her anymore.

I just want to say, luckily you arrived in time, otherwise, I might have been... buried somewhere on the uninhabited island by now. "

After speaking, Lilith drank another gulp.

Luke smiled. "Are you trying to get me drunk?"

"No, I just don't know how to express my gratitude to you.

I was pointing a gun at a tattooed man and I was so desperate I thought I was going to die.

You show up in time like a superhero and kill the bad guys.

Wow, you were so handsome at that moment. "

The two sat very close, and Luke could faintly smell the faint scent of perfume, and joked, "Then do you like me?"

"Tell the truth?"

"certainly."

"For a moment, I really had the urge to fall in love with you." Lilith didn't lie, she was attracted by the tough guy in front of her at that moment.

Many women have a deep-seated admiration for powerful men.

Under the light, Lilith's fair cheeks were slightly reddish, and her delicate facial features looked even more delicate. I have to say that this girl's figure, appearance and temperament are very in line with Chinese aesthetics.

The two looked at each other, and the atmosphere was a little strange.

Luke approached slowly, put his left arm around her slender waist, and kissed her red lips involuntarily.

Lilith was stunned, and instinctively wanted to evade, but was picked up by Luke and placed on his lap, his big hand reached into the dress, stroking the plump part, making her body go limp.

She stared with big watery blue eyes, this script is not going right...
