Los Angeles Detective

Chapter 496 You are my hero

  【Ding Dong…

 Congratulations to the host, you successfully solved the gold kidnapping case and will be rewarded with 100 points;

 The host assists the FBI in detecting the kidnapping case of the real estate tycoon's son and is rewarded with 60 points;

 The host helped the FBI catch the mole during the case and was rewarded with an unknown function card. Do you want to redeem it? 】

  Getting a new card was an unexpected surprise. Luke just clicked to redeem it.

 For solving the case this time, he received 160 points, plus the 50 points he had stored previously, for a total of 210 points.

  After excluding the 100 points redeemed for a new card, there are still 110 points left in the system.

  New card categories, learning cards

 Name, house magic card

 Function, you can quickly learn and comprehend room surgery skills and enhance PC muscle group control

  Luke “…”

 Do I need it?

Well, this thing is just like money, never too much.

It takes thirty points to redeem one card, so Luke directly redeemed three new cards, leaving twenty points.

He previously consumed a detection card and an identification card in Hawaii, but due to exchanging new cards, his points reserve was insufficient and he could only replenish them next time.

 In the afternoon, Luke got off work early due to something else.

 The treasures he and Walker acquired in Red Rock Canyon were put up for auction at the Gallis Auction House.

An auction was held this morning. Luke received information that the gold jewelry had been auctioned. He needed to go to the auction house to confirm the specific commission amount and sign the auction confirmation before the auction money would be transferred to the designated account.

 …

 Kevis Law Firm.

  Luke parked the Mercedes-Benz on the side of the road and glanced at his watch. It was now five o'clock in the afternoon.

 He made an appointment with the auction house to meet at 5:40, and he planned to take Daisy with him.

As long as it involves large-value transactions and signatures, it will be safer to bring a lawyer.

 A few minutes later, a tall, graceful brown-haired beauty walked out of the office building.

 Luke got out of the car to greet Daisy.

Beside Daisy stood a man in a black suit. He was very handsome and looked a bit mixed-race, but his figure looked a little thin.

Before Luke and Daisy could say hello, the man in a black suit walked over quickly with a look of surprise on his face, "Wow, Captain Li, why are you here? Is there any big case happening here?"

 You are more stylish than you look on TV, and you match the car behind you very well. You are super handsome. "

Luke forced a smile and said, "Thank you, I'm waiting for my lawyer. By the way, have we met before?"

“NoNoNo, this is the first time we have met, but I often see news about you, various big and explosive cases...

 I look forward to the opportunity to work with you. "The man in the suit took out a business card from his pocket, "My name is Jimmy, and I'm also a lawyer. Let's drink together when we have time. I know a great bar. "

Luke pointed at Daisy and said, "Then I have to ask my lawyer if he agrees?"

The man in the suit looked at Daisy with a look of disbelief on his face, "God, Captain Li is your client, why haven't I heard from you?"

"It's not too late for you to know now." Daisy got in the car and said to the man in the suit, "Jimmy, I'm giving you a kind reminder, don't ask him to go to the bar."

 The man called Jimmy winked and said, "Have fun."

Luke started the car and glanced at Jimmy who was still waving in the rearview mirror, "This guy looks a little weird. Is he trying to steal your customers?"

 “No, I think he just wants to invite you to the bar.”

 “What bar?”

 “Something like Tom of Finland.”

 “This **** pervert, he better not fall into my hands.” Luke looked disgusted.

Daisy smiled and said, "Actually, he is not bad, and some customers trust him very much."

“Forget about this unappetizing guy.” Luke waved his hand and changed the subject, “What do you want to eat tonight?”

 “You arrange it.”

 “OK.”

 At 5:30, the two drove to the Jialis Auction House.

 The person who received Luke was a white man named Steve Reno.

“Mr. Li, it’s nice to see you again.

Congratulations on the high price your auction item achieved. "

"Thank you, Manager Renault." Luke was also looking forward to it. He only received the message that the auction was completed, and was not sure of the specific auction amount.

Of course, the auction price must be higher than the reserve price, otherwise it will fail.

“There is good black tea prepared in the lounge, I will ask someone to take you there first.

 After that, I will go to you with the documents. "

 “OK, see you soon.”

 Steve Renault gave some instructions to the waitress on the side and asked her to take Luke and the two of them to the lounge.

Along the way, Luke observed that the offices of the auction house are very private and have solid walls, not the glass partition offices common in office buildings.

Luke entered the lounge and took a few sips of tea. The door to the lounge was pushed open, and Steve Renault walked in with a folder.

Steve Renault opened the folder and said, "Mr. Li, that batch of gold jewelry was auctioned off in the morning. After a total of five rounds of bidding, it was finally sold for US$1.1 million.

 After deducting the 5% commission, the auction house will pay you $1.045 million. Steve Renault took out a piece of information and handed it to Luke, "This is the auction confirmation. If there is no problem, please sign it and we will transfer the auction money to the designated account." "

Luke read it himself first, and the auction price was higher than he expected. He and Walker each received $522,500.

 “How long does a bank transfer take?” Luke handed the document to Daisy.

 “Within 24 hours after signing the confirmation form.”

 Daisy checked the document and found that there was no problem before Luke signed in the lower right corner.

 The transaction is officially completed.

In addition to the money he got from auctioning gold jewelry, Luke also caught a wanted criminal in Red Rock Canyon and received a reward of $80,000.

 When the money arrives, he will have $600,000.

In addition, when Orti went to Hawaii and asked him to return to Los Angeles to investigate the case, he signed an employment agreement of US$800,000 with Luke's new detective company.

 After the $800,000 arrives, Luke will have $1.4 million in income. However, taking into account the tax deduction, only about $1 million will be left.

 This money can be used to pay for the medium-term housing construction contract fees, and he can breathe a sigh of relief.

 The remaining shortfall of US$320,000 can be made up by the end of May.

Steve Renault put the documents away and handed Luke a business card, "Mr. Li, this is my business card. If you need auction business in the future, just contact me directly."

"I will." Luke put the business card away, stood up, and prepared to leave.

“Mr. Li, please wait a moment, I have one more thing to tell you.”

"What's up?"

"The buyer of that batch of gold jewelry wants me to help with a message. He wants to meet you."

 Luke shrugged, "Why?"

“During the auction, our auctioneer said that this batch of gold jewelry was found during a treasure hunt. The buyer was very interested in this and wanted to know the story of your treasure hunt.

In addition, he is willing to buy the treasure map from you at a reasonable price. "

Luke frowned, "What kind of strange request is this? The treasure has already been found, why does he want to hide the treasure map?"

 “I don’t know, I’m just helping to convey it.”

 “Can I refuse directly?”

 “Of course, that’s your right.”

 “OK, refuse it for me.”

“I understand.” Steve Renault made a gesture of invitation and sent Luke out of the lounge.

With hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash, Luke was in a good mood and took Daisy to a Japanese restaurant.

 There are many Japanese restaurants in Los Angeles, including many Michelin-level high-end restaurants.

 What’s funny is that many Japanese restaurants are owned by Chinese Americans.

Luke naturally wouldn't eat at a Japanese restaurant owned by a Chinese, as that would make him feel like he was taken advantage of.

Luke is a foodie. He did a lot of research before choosing a restaurant and found a Japanese restaurant with the best overall reputation.

The term "foodie" is becoming more and more popular. In fact, it is not difficult to understand if you think about it. With the development of productivity, it is easier to obtain food than before.

 Eating has become the easiest desire for people to satisfy, and there are more and more foodies.

 In the past, food was in short supply, and whether one could have enough to eat was always a problem, and there was no choice.

 This Japanese restaurant has two floors, and there is a terrace on the second floor. Luke prefers to eat outside, so he chose a dining table on the edge of the terrace.

 Daisy is wearing a red V-neck T-shirt and a black hip-hugging skirt, which is fashionable and **** and shows off her figure.

 Luke looked up and down, "You look very beautiful today."

 Daisy put down her backpack and sat across from Luke, “The restaurant you chose today is not bad either.

 In my memory, this is the first time you have invited me to eat Japanese food. "

“I don’t like raw food, and many dishes in Japanese restaurants are raw, so... I eat less.”

 Luke handed the menu to Daisy, "You take your order."

 Daisy looked at the menu, ordered a few of her favorite dishes, and looked at Luke, "What do you want to eat?"

 “As long as it’s cooked.”

 After ordering the meal, the waiter first served a bottle of sake.

 Daisy picked up the flask and poured two glasses of wine, and said, "I saw you on TV. I didn't expect you to have such a good relationship with the FBI in the Los Angeles office."

Luke quipped, “Do you guys have any fans of mine?”

 “Of course, Jimmy is.”

“No, that pervert doesn’t count, I mean the female fans?”

 The breeze blew, and Daisy smoothed her hair, "Isn't it the one sitting in front of you?"

During the conversation, Japanese food was also served on the table.

 The two of them were eating and chatting.

  Japanese dishes are exquisitely prepared and the dining experience is quite good. Of course, the prices are not cheap.

 After eating, the two drove back to Luke's house.

 A black Volkswagen also drove into Luke's neighborhood, but it did not stop and drove directly past Luke's house.

  Luke drove the car into the garage and returned home with Daisy.

 A few minutes later, the black Volkswagen drove back again and stopped near Luke's house for a while before leaving the community.

 This episode did not affect Luke and Daisy.

 …

 The next morning.

 Both of them got up late.

Late is a common occurrence for Luke.

This is Daisy’s first time.

 Good card.

It was already around nine o'clock in the morning when Luke drove Daisy to the law firm. She was late anyway, so Luke was not in a hurry and simply went to Palisades to check on the progress of the new house.

 From the beginning of March to now, the house has been built for more than 20 days, and it has changed a lot.

  The house type Luke chose, in addition to the foundation, the main structure and load-bearing walls are also made of concrete. The advantage is that it is stronger than ordinary houses, but the disadvantage is that it is more expensive.

 The mezzanine of the wall and the roof are made of wood and light steel as the framework, filled with moisture-proof and fire-proof materials.

These timbers are about the same size, just like building blocks. The timbers are built into a one-layer frame, and are fixed with metal nuts using a mortise and tenon structure.

In order to speed up the construction, the Zhang brothers hired more than a dozen workers and the house has been completed.

Luke walked around the house. The entire house has been built, and the electrical wiring and water pipes are being laid.

Luke and the Zhang brothers discussed the interior decoration method. In addition to being beautiful and practical, they mainly considered moisture-proof, fire-proof, insect-proof and sound insulation.

Luke put forward his own ideas, and the Zhang brothers came up with solutions and construction plans. The whole morning passed quickly.

 At noon, Luke ordered takeout and treated the decoration team members to dinner.

 After dinner, Luke returned to the police station to go to work.

 At two o'clock in the afternoon, he arranged his work and went into the captain's office to catch up on his sleep.

　　I had a great time exercising last night, but I was really tired. I still need to take good care of my body.

night.

Metzk Bar.

 “Cheers!” People from a squadron sat together.

 Luke drank the rum in the glass in one gulp, "Good wine!"

"I chose it." The deputy squadron looked like he was reminiscing. In the past, such good wine was rarely drunk at team gatherings, but it is different now. The first squadron has sufficient funds.

 Everyone can drink freely.

 The deputy captain poured himself another glass and said, "Hey guys, have you heard about it?

The wife of the real estate tycoon wants to bail her son out. "

Jackson joked, "Wow, it looks like bail money in Los Angeles is going to set a new record again."

Jenny said, "In fact, it is exactly this kind of **** who should be kidnapped."

 The deputy team leader shrugged, "Although I think so too, it's best not to say that."

  Jenny made a gesture of sealing her mouth.

 “Do you know? Last night, I had a dream.”

Xiao Hei interrupted everyone, gesticulating with his hands, shaking his head and saying, "I dreamed that my lovely daughter was kidnapped. She was so young that she couldn't even walk.

I felt like I was going to explode. I looked in the mirror and saw myself transformed into Liam Neeson, chasing kidnappers on the streets of Los Angeles on a Harley.

 Two kidnappers took my daughter into a helicopter.

In desperation, I rode my motorcycle up the slope, rushed into the air, grabbed the helicopter with both hands, entered the cabin and threw the two gangsters out of the plane.

 Then, I held my daughter with one hand and flew the plane with the other.

 When the plane landed safely, my daughter suddenly spoke, Dad, you are my hero, haha..."

  Luke “…”

　　Everybody “…”

It is difficult to write daily plots in detective stories.

 Today is a little short, it’s getting late, so let’s update it first.

 Everyone will go to bed if it's too late.
