Los Angeles Detective

Chapter 531 Harvest

Yacht, luxury master bedroom.

There was a blonde beauty lying on the bed, leaning sideways on the quilt, her long snow-white legs were exposed, and her slender waist and buttocks formed a seductive arc.

Lilith slowly opened her eyes, her consciousness was still not very clear. Last night, she had a strange dream.

Some shame, some resistance, but more excitement and stimulation.

That dream was too real, and now that I think about it, it's still a bit hard to tell, could it be...

She touched the other side of the bed with her right hand, but luckily no one was there.

She looked down at her body again, she was naked, there were still a few bruises on her body, and her legs were weak...

It's over, it's true.

Lilith's cheeks flushed instantly.

"Ka..." The bathroom door rang, and Lilith quickly closed her eyes.

Luke came out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around him. He didn't sleep until midnight last night. He woke up after three or four hours of sleep, and he felt refreshed after taking a shower.

He looked at the beautiful woman on the bed. She had a delicate face, and the thin sheets could hardly conceal her curvaceous curves. Unlike those women who liked tanning, Lilith's skin was as fair as jade, and she had a different kind of beauty.

"What a stunner..."

Luke saw her eyelashes moving slightly, knowing that she was awake, but he didn't expose her, kissed her on the cheek, found his clothes from the living room, closed the door and left.

Lilith breathed a sigh of relief, "My God, what a crazy night..."

half an hour later.

Lilith walked out of the master bedroom and stood on the second deck feeling her legs were sore, her arms leaning on the railing.

The glasses girl also yawned and walked out of the cabin on the first floor.

Lilith took the initiative to say hello, "Hi, good morning."

The glasses girl looked up at her, "No, I'm not fine."

"Your complexion is so bad, did you not rest last night?"

The girl with glasses said with a weird face, "Last night, I heard some strange noises, which lasted for several hours, and what's more sad, I couldn't sleep in the second half of the night.

What a bad night. "

Lilith was a little embarrassed, and put her fingers together the blond hair around her ear, "Could it be a wild animal on the island?"

The glasses girl shrugged, "I'm not sure, the voice sounds like a golden Persian cat, a very expensive one."

Lilith turned around, "I suddenly remembered that something was left in the bedroom."

The glasses girl joked, "Hey, can you lend me your earbuds tonight? I think I need them more."

Lilith "..."

Half an hour later, the three of Luke got together for breakfast.

Seeing that the two women were silent, Luke said, "I'm going to the cave to bring the treasure back, who will go with me?"

Lilith pursed her red lips, "I'm not feeling well."

The glasses girl rolled her eyes, as if I knew it, "I want to repair the maritime satellite phone."

Lilith said lightly, "Throw it away, I'll buy you a new one later."

Glasses girl "..."

After some "friendly" discussions, it was finally the glasses girl and Luke who went to the cave to transport the treasure together.

With the experience of the previous two times, the two were familiar with the road this time, and they arrived at the cave in less than two hours. They carried a box of gold bricks and two boxes of silver bricks. They also carried some silver bricks in their backpacks. There are more than three boxes of silver bricks left.

After returning to the yacht, the glasses girl was exhausted and was unable to carry on the second time.

Luke looked at Lilith, "Is your body better?"

"No, I feel like I've got heat stroke and I'm still weak."

"So, you plan to let me go alone." Luke teased, "You don't plan to leave me on the island, and secretly drive away on a yacht."

Lilith picked up a pen to examine a gold brick, and then threw it into a woven bag, "Then everyone don't go.

The value of those three boxes of silver is far from comparable to that of the gold bricks. It is only worth tens of thousands of dollars. After deducting taxes, it is estimated to be only thirty to forty thousand dollars. It is not worth my hard work. "

The glasses girl asked in surprise, "Is there such a big difference between the price of gold and silver?\

,""More than that, the quality of a gold brick of the same volume is twice that of a silver brick."

The glasses girl seemed to be asking Lilith, but her eyes were aimed at Luke, "Can we go back to St. Thomas?"

Lilith also looked at Luke, "What do you think?"

"I have no opinion."

"OK." There was a tinge of joy in Lilith's tone, "I announce that the Chris has officially returned."

"Follow the captain." The glasses girl saluted and walked into the cab with a bounce.

A few minutes later, the yacht started slowly. Luke stood in front of the yacht and turned to look at the uninhabited island next to him.

Lilith on the side asked, "Will those corpses be dug up and eaten?"

"Maybe."

"How many people did you kill on the island yourself?"

"one."

"Those gangsters were killed yesterday, but we just returned today. If the police ask, how should we answer?"

"Then don't call the police."

"However, four people died, can we hide it if we don't call the police?

Elsa Marin was also our guide, and if her family ever realized she was missing, the U.S. Virgin Islands police would definitely have tracked us down. "

Luke explained, "The U.S. Virgin Islands is different from the mainland of the United States, and we are not familiar with the laws here. Elsa Marin and the others are all locals, and the possibility that the local police will favor them cannot be ruled out.

I suggest contacting the FBI directly and letting them handle the case. "

Lilith smiled, "I almost forgot, you are still the FBI's criminal investigation consultant, so just do as you say."

This is also why Lilith proposed to give up carrying the remaining three boxes of silver bricks, and why Luke did not raise any objections. Since he asked a brother department to help with the case, he would definitely get some convenience. some benefits.

Although the value of those silver ingots is not high, but in the hands of the FBI, there is no need to pay taxes, which is considered a good extra money.

Luke asked, "What are you going to do with these treasures?"

"First find someone to see if there is a collection value, if there is a collection value, sell it as a collection; if there is no collection value, sell it at a gold price.

I believe my grandfather will be more interested in those pottery, and should be able to sell for a good price. "Lilith smiled, and changed the topic,

"By the way, let's talk about the distribution of treasures.

Elsa Marin has betrayed us, she is ineligible for commissions and treasures.

You saved me and the glasses girl, so Elsa Marin's commission and treasure should belong to you.

I talked to her about 50,000 commissions and 5% of the treasure share.

I have paid a deposit of 10,000 before, and the remaining 40,000 commission and 5% of the treasure share belong to you.

You can get a total of 30% of the treasure share and a commission of 440,000 US dollars.

Are you satisfied? "

Luke nodded, "Very reasonable."

"as long as you are happy.

Besides, I came to you last night just to talk to you about this..."

Luke raised his eyebrows, "Really? I thought you liked me."

Lilith shrugged, "Maybe, I can't tell."

"Why don't you go to my room tonight and let's talk things through."

"No, my bottom is still hurting. I don't want to see a gynecologist as soon as I return to Los Angeles. I will be laughed to death." Lilith patted Luke's waist and whispered, "You should also take a good rest. lest I go back to Los Angeles and not even be able to hold my gun steady."

Luke "..."

During the journey, the three of Luke gave correct statements. For example, because Elsa Marin and his accomplices destroyed the maritime satellite phone and the yacht, they were unable to call the police and return immediately. They did not return until the yacht was repaired the next day. St. Thomas island.

There are also some details such as the number of treasures.

After returning to St. Thomas Island, Lilith rented another boat and put some personal items on the boat. Later, Luke contacted the FBI to call the police and told the FBI what happened on the unnamed island.

The FBI rushed to the pier, checked the surveillance video and the on-site photos taken by Luke, and recorded statements for the three of Luke.

After that, Luke accompanied the FBI to the unnamed island to identify the body.

There is a surveillance video of Elsa Marin and the tattooed man kidnapping Lilith and the glasses girl, as well as the confessions of the three and a complete chain of evidence. This robbery and anti-murder case was directly classified as self-defense.

The remaining three boxes of silver were sealed and taken away by the FBI as evidence.

Luke used his relationship with the FBI to simplify the investigation process as much as possible. Finally, four days later, the case was officially closed, and Luke and his party returned to Los Angeles by private jet.

Returning with it is a wealth of treasure.

"boom!"

The champagne cap is spread out.

Holding a bottle of champagne in her hand, the glasses girl danced excitedly, "The treasure hunt has come to a successful conclusion, let's celebrate."

The glasses girl poured three glasses of champagne.

The three of Luke toasted together, "Cheers!"

The glasses girl took a sip and said with an aftertaste, "Wow, this is the first time I drink such delicious champagne, can I take a bottle with me when I get off the plane?"

Lilith shrugged her smooth shoulders, "Of course, I will deduct it from your treasure share."

"Sure enough, the richer people are, the more stingy they are." The glasses girl curled her lips and asked, "How much can I share?"

"Fifty thousand hire money and a five percent share of the treasure."

"I remember the distribution ratio, I just want to know the specific value of the treasure."

Lilith put down the champagne, "I have nothing to do in the U.S. Virgin Islands these days, so I just learned about the value of these treasures.

The collection value of that batch of gold bricks is not very high, and they can be sold directly at the price of gold, because the purity is not particularly high, and the value is about eight million US dollars.

Those gold ornaments have a certain collection value, and they can probably sell for about 3.5 million to 4 million US dollars.

Those two boxes of silver bricks cost less than fifty thousand dollars.

Those two crates of pottery have a certain collectible value, probably worth three million dollars.

The total value of these treasures is close to fifteen million dollars.

After the government withholds taxes, there will be nearly eight million dollars left. "

The glasses girl did a simple calculation. After the employment fee and the treasure tax, she could probably get more than 400,000 US dollars. Although it is not a lot, she is already very satisfied. "Next time you hunt for treasure, come to me again."

Luke also made a simple calculation. His income will be more complicated and divided into three parts. The first part is the employment fee of 400,000 US dollars. Because he hired himself through the Pinkerton Detective Agency, part of the agency fee will be deducted from the employment fee. Luke's net income is 280,000 US dollars, which is also before tax, and roughly estimated to be about 200,000 US dollars after tax.

The second part comes from Elsa Marin's treasure share, 40,000 US dollars in employment and 5% of the treasure share.

The third part is his own 25% share of the treasure.

In other words, Luke can get a total of more than 200,000 U.S. dollars in employment fees and 30% of the treasure share, which adds up to about 2.6 million U.S. dollars.

After tax, this is the key point, real income.

That's great.

By the way, $20,000 for bluefin tuna.

With this money, Luke can not only pay the remaining construction contract fees, but also pay off the mortgage in advance. Luke will not have any debts in his name, and he will also hold more than one million US dollars in stocks and cash.

This feeling is very cool, very easy.

On the way back, the glasses girl didn't propose to fly the plane again, she kept drinking champagne, and she was a little drunk. Although her more than 400,000 US dollars hadn't arrived yet, it was clearly arranged.

Luke didn't feel like two months, no, it should be a month, and she would be able to spend that money.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the plane stopped at Los Angeles Airport smoothly.

After the cabin door opened, the glasses girl took her backpack and ran out of the cabin excitedly, "Los Angeles, I'm back.

I have never loved you so much as I do now. "

Luke also stood up and looked at Lilith, "I remember you said that you met Elsa Marin through an elder?"

"Yes, what's the problem?"

"What do you think?"

"I don't know either……

Thanks for the reminder though. "Lilith came closer, and kissed Luke with her delicate red lips.

Although Luke was a little surprised, he put his arms around her slender waist and responded enthusiastically.

"Bah..." Luke felt his lips hurt a little, and the two separated, and when they touched it with their hands, their lips were bleeding. "What does this mean?"

"It's nothing interesting, it's just a parting gift for you, bye." Lilith regained her arrogant look, put on her exquisite khaki backpack, and stepped off the private plane gracefully.

Luke didn't bother to get to the bottom of it, everyone was an adult, and he just slept through the night, and he didn't think what would happen to the two of them.

Luke investigated the Finn family and found that the family was not as simple as imagined.

Just like Bill Gates, everyone knows that Bill Gates is rich, but some media deliberately ignore his parents.

The same is true for the Finn family. The media only reported that Lilith’s grandfather was a rich man who liked to hunt for treasures and bury treasures everywhere. Many people thought that his grandfather started his business by himself, but in fact, the Finn family was originally a European nobleman with a rich heritage. The first start-up capital also came from the family.

Take this private jet as an example, even if it was given to Luke for nothing, he couldn't afford it.

Lilith was in desperation on the uninhabited island, and it was Luke who suddenly appeared to save her. In that crisis situation, she may have admiration, attachment to Luke, or simply want to find a sense of security.

But now that they have returned to Los Angeles, the social rules have changed, which may also have an impact on the relationship between the two.

let it go.

After parting with Lilith and the glasses girl, Luke returned home, took a shower, and lay down on the sofa to rest.

He still prefers the climate of Los Angeles.

"Jingle Bell……"

Luke's cell phone rang, and it was Zhang Jianguo's cell phone number.

"Hello."

"Mr. Li, have you returned to Los Angeles?"

"I just got off the plane."

"That's great. Do you have time tonight? I'll clean it up for you."

"Not tonight, I have an appointment."

"Then when is it convenient for you?"
