North American Detective: I Am Proficient In All Kinds of American IAI

The small mountain peak pointed to by the reflection in the lake is bare, except for the scattered shrubs on the mountainside, there are only large and small broken stones.

This situation is rare.

Dean squatted down, simply observed, thoughtfully.

"Dean, is there anything unusual about these stones?" Thompson wondered.

This hill, facing the direction of the mountain wind, is like a slope facing the mountain wind. It is exposed to the wind and sun every day, and the vegetation is difficult to grow, and the stones are also in a weathered state.

Isn't that normal?

"It's a stone blasted by gunpowder."

Dean pointed to the surrounding large and small stones: "Normal weathered stones are very brittle and mostly flaky, but these are not, which means that they are separated from the main body in an instant. Walk slowly. I suspect that there are potholes around. .”

Watching Dean grope around the back.

Suspiciousness appeared in Thompson's eyes.

In his memory, before the second brother went to college, he was a simple-minded, well-developed, simple-minded man with the same virtues as his elder brother. However, he went to college for two years and studied in the police for more than half a year. How can he be so knowledgeable now?

He was sure that Dean was Dean.

So what made Dean change so much?

The little brother has a clever little head, and it is running fast at this moment. Combined with the fact that every time Dean comes back, he will have a different scent of women's perfume on his body

There is only one answer!

woman!

Women make men mature!

There was clarity in Thompson's eyes.

It must be because Dean has come into contact with a lot of women after college, which caused such a big change in him.

Don't you do the same for yourself?

I used to be stupid and timid.

Now the mouth is as if oiled, a few words can make the other party laugh.

After experiencing the last Shura field overturned.

I went to teach myself some small methods of psychology, and easily resolved the last crisis.

Sure enough, women make men grow up!

Thompson, who was only fifteen years old, seemed to understand something, smiled slightly, and followed Dean's footsteps.

The range of hills is not large.

After about seven or eight minutes.

Dean was halfway up the mountain and found some blood.

The bloodstains are reddish black.

Not completely weathered and dried.

Dean's "Trace Tracking" gave an accurate answer: about four days.

This should be the blood left by the former owner of the treasure map in Dean's hand.

Think of that poor father and daughter.

Dean shook his head.

This is a real treasure, no matter how much it is worth, it can be regarded as an unexpected harvest and surprise, not to mention that Anthony's family will send someone to buy the key fragments in the treasure.

pity.

Surprises come before surprises.

Guided by blood.

Dean took Thompson, and finally opened a bush and found a passage that was artificially blasted.

The passage is not big, and the entrance is square.

Dean tried it, and found it difficult to get in, so he had to look at the little brother beside him: "Dude, it's your turn."

"no problem!"

Thompson looked at the dark hole without any fear. With a rope tied around his waist and a searchlight on his head, with the gun in front and the people behind, he got in.

Waited about three minutes.

Thompson's surprised voice came from the entrance of the cave: "Dean, here is a secret room of about five square meters, and there is a sealed iron box inside, pull it hard!"

Dean joined hands.

Immediately, there was a sharp sound of iron boxes rubbing against rocks in the cave.

The channel is not deep.

The rope was pulled out about three or four meters.

An iron box about thirty centimeters high and twenty centimeters long and wide appeared in front of Dean.

"It's only that big."

Dean moved the box away so that Thompson wouldn't be trapped inside, and then knelt down to examine it.

The outside of the box is wrapped in iron sheet, which is seriously rusted. A large piece of iron sheet can be torn off with a light force. Under the iron sheet is a smaller copper box.

The copper box is red and green, and the lock is sealed by a layer of white metal.

Seeing that the metal was not too hard, Dean opened the box with a tug.

"what is inside?"

Thompson, who was not very dirty, leaned over with a searchlight on his head.

In the small copper box, there were seven or eight small sheepskin bags. In addition, there was a wooden box and a folded letter.

"Dean~", Thompson raised his small head, his small dark eyes were full of pleading: "Let me check these things."

This may be a once in a lifetime experience.

Dean gave him a kick: "It's disgusting that you are cute, look at it!"

Thompson was lifted to the side, but he was not angry. He smiled, got up, rubbed his hands together, and saw that Dean had turned on the video recorder, so he signed a cross on his chest, prayed twice, and took out the first bag.

The bag looked a little heavy, and when I picked it up, there was a sound of metal colliding.

Open it and have a look.

A dozen or so metal coins, under the illumination of the lights, exude a dark light of gold and silver.

Dean was a little disappointed.

Even if they were all gold coins, they probably wouldn't sell for much.

But Thompson took out the top coin, looked it over carefully, and cheered in surprise: "Dean, we've made a fortune. This is the 1804 limited edition Class III Silver Dollar!"

"Is it worth it?"

Dean squatted down and then looked at the not-so-big coin.

The coin is golden yellow, with an Indian head on the front and a standing eagle on the back. It doesn't look special.

But Thompson put it back into the bag as if he saw the most cherished treasure:

"This is the commemorative coin that flowed out when the gold coin was melted back then. It is usually used as a national gift and given to the leaders of some other countries.

Even if this piece is only a part of the mint's private outflow to the market, there will not be more than forty pieces in the world.

I have read relevant reports. In 1980, the auction price was 180,000 US dollars, and now it will only be higher.

If it's genuine with the rest of the value attached.

That can sell for at least millions of dollars! "

Dean smacked his mouth.

It's just such a small gadget, but it's so valuable?

Thompson continued to show his knowledge: "I have a little impression of the other two in the bag. They should also be some ancient coins. The value is not measured by gold and silver alone."

Dean, who had already been promoted to a multi-millionaire.

This "little treasure", which was not worth mentioning in Anthony's mouth, finally got excited: "Look at the other bags!"

One sheepskin bag was opened.

There are well-preserved jewelry, gemstone necklaces, or some small objects that seem to have a history.

On the inside of the bag, there are small writings with the names of these things written.

This means that as long as they search by name, they can lock in the value of these things, so that they will not be sold as ordinary items.

I can only praise the treasurer: caring!

"The gemstone necklace on this bag is for my mother, this pair of earrings is for Sinclair, and this gold pen is for you. The rest will be sold by then."

Dean divided the thing into two, and stuffed it into the backpack together with the small sealed box.

But Thompson blushed with excitement: "Dean, are you really willing to give me that pure gold pen? It's at least a hundred grams. Even if it's sold alone, it's worth a lot."

Dean touched his head: "We are brothers."

He noticed that Thompson had been looking at the pen just now with liking in his eyes.

Thompson was moved by Dean's words with tears in his eyes.

Dean chuckled and opened the final envelope.

Inside is the warning left by the treasure hunter - Tiger Morgan:

【Congratulations, you found some little things I left behind.

They may bring some changes to your life.

But unfortunately.

It's just a little game of mine.

Please keep that small box and wait for someone from the Morgan family to pick it up.

This thing is useless to you.

If you keep it in your hand, you will have bad luck. 】

This letter made Dean sure that Anthony did not lie to himself.

This is indeed just a small game used by an old naughty boy to fight against qi.

But Dean believed that for these treasures, the father and daughter were definitely not the only ones who lost their lives.

He put away the mail.

Patted Thompson who was still moved.

"Brother, the adventure is over, let's compare to the camera."

The little brother is just very miscellaneous in reading, but he is not professional in appraising ancient relics.

After Dean handed over the small box containing the key fragments to the stranger called by Anthony, he spent money directly to the best auction house in Los Angeles, and found a special appraisal expert to appraise those things.

The result exceeded his expectations.

These things are all the items of some celebrities.

Get rid of the gemstone necklace that is going to be given to my mother, the gemstone pendant for my sister, and Thompson's pen.

The rest, if all are sold.

Experts estimate that more than 6 million US dollars can be obtained.

If Dean is willing to give these things to them for auction, the auction house can even advance his check for three million dollars in advance.

What can Dean say other than feeling better?

He found that as his strength continued to increase, his status continued to improve, and he knew more and more bigwigs, the money that he could earn by working hard in his previous life now seemed to be actively getting into his pocket.

Think about yourself just coming into this world.

Because of 3.8 million US dollars, he shot and killed seven people without hesitation.

Just take it easy now.

There will be more than 17 million US dollars in the account soon, and he will become a small rich man that everyone envies.

More money, but also troubles.

The money on his body is clean now, and he doesn't need to wash it again, but next year's tax payment will be very painful.

Except for the prize money of only 400,000 US dollars, there is no need to deal with it.

The rest of the money is taxable.

Including the previous bounty of more than two million US dollars.

Because this matter cannot be put on the table, it is the rich man who paid a reward in the name of technical support.

But Dean didn't have time to deal with these things for the time being.

Because the day after tomorrow is Christmas.

His eldest brother, along with his second uncle, flew back from Oregon.

Dean is now going to drive to pick them up.

For the second uncle.

Dean's predecessor, the impression is very good, and he still has some memories, but for the eldest brother Baker, the only memory seems to be that he took him to fight and bully little girls since he was a child.

This guy is a very pure villain.

For this meeting.

Dean still had some small expectations in his heart.

He likes villains.
