Los Angeles Detective

  Chapter 299 Past

  This chapter is also daily, and I will write a new case tomorrow.

  …

  In addition to gold coins, there are also golden wine glasses, golden rings, golden bracelets, etc. in the box.

  The all-colored gold looks a little monotonous, and Luke guesses that it may also be related to the treasure hunting location.

  Forrest Finn may be worried that the lake water will leak into the box and damage the treasures, but the chemical properties of gold are relatively stable and contact with water will not have any effect.

  The next step is how to divide up these gold products.

   There is a small weighing device on the car of Lephne, which weighs in batches. The total weight of gold is 18.6 pounds, and each person can be divided into 6.2 pounds of gold coins.

  In order to ensure the fairness of the division, weigh multiple times and distribute as evenly as possible.

  From opening the box to distributing the gold coins, this time lasted for nearly an hour.

   Everyone drove back to the camp, it was completely dark.

  Revni was very excited, and she couldn't restrain the joy on her face, "When are you going to leave?"

  Walker didn't speak, and looked at Luke aside.

  Luke said, "Let's finish breakfast tomorrow."

  Revni glanced around and said worriedly, "Hey, there are more than the three of us treasure hunters, we have obtained the treasure now, and it is very likely that other treasure hunters will target us.

  Someone may even grab our gold coins, shouldn't we leave now? "

   "It's more dangerous to walk at night.

  Here is our camp, we are more familiar with the surrounding situation, even if there are people who grab gold coins, I prefer to stay here and wait for work. "Luke has encountered too many murderers in his investigations. Even if there are blind people stealing gold coins, there is nothing to worry about. He has the ability to deal with it.

   "I agree." Walker echoed.

Walker was not very familiar with Luke before, but he also knew some of Luke's deeds. He was definitely one of the best police officers in Los Angeles. Walker believed in his judgment, and being with Luke made him feel safe. That's why he was willing to let Luke join the treasure hunt.

   Seeing that Revni was still hesitating, Walker persuaded, "Hey, stay here, I'm the judge, Luke is the police, there is no safer place than here.

  After breakfast tomorrow, we will leave Big Bear Lake together to draw a successful conclusion to this trip. "

  Perhaps because of the experience of treasure hunting together, Lephne also gained some trust in Luke and the two, she nodded, "OK, then let's celebrate tonight."

  Walker laughed, "That's right, this is a carnival for the three of us, we must get up."

  The three began to prepare dinner.

  Pizza, canned smoked herring, anchovies, beef sauce, edamame, bananas.

   are simple foods that can be eaten with a little heat.

"cheers!"

  The three opened a bottle of champagne to celebrate.

  Revni put down her wine glass, "Luke, Walker, it's a great honor to form a treasure hunting team with you, if I fight alone, I won't be able to find the treasure at all.

   Oh, it's hard to describe how I feel right now...

   Excited, excited, even feeling a little unreal.

Thanks. "

  Walker said, "Raphne, you've done a great job, and you paid as much as we did.

   Without your map, we would never have found the treasure location.

  Our team is indispensable, everyone is important. "

   "A toast to our treasure hunting team," Luke offered.

  He was just a soy saucer, but he accidentally joined the treasure hunt at the invitation of Walker. This first treasure hunting experience in his life also brought him a novel experience.

  Revni took a sip of champagne and asked, "Walker, tell me about your experience. Why would you be interested in treasure hunting as a majestic judge?"

  Luke said, "I'm curious too."

   "I thought you guys had forgotten." Walker frowned, as if lost in memory,

   "Yes, I am a respected judge, I also like this job very much, I have worked hard but also received good returns, and I have lived a life that many people only dream of.

  But I don’t know when it started, I found that I haven’t laughed for a long time, and I even forgot the feeling of being happy.

  I seem to have lost my instinct to find pleasure. "

  “At first, I thought it was because I was exposed to too many negative emotions when trying cases after I became a judge, so I felt unhappy.

  But when I carefully recalled my past experiences, I found that this was not the case. Before I became a judge, I had no happiness, and I could go back to university, middle school, and elementary school.

   That's right, I seem to have lost my joy in elementary school.

  My grandfather passed away in the fifth grade of elementary school. Since then, my life seems to have no happy memories. "

  Lephne guessed, "Are you an orphan?"

   "My parents just passed away two years ago, have you ever seen an orphan in his fifties?"

   "Are your parents divorced?"

   "No, their relationship is very good and they have been living together."

   "Aren't they a conscientious parent? Don't like you?"

  "No, they are conscientious parents. There is no shortage in life. They gave me the best education and fully fulfilled their responsibilities. This is impeccable."

  Lephne was puzzled, "Then why are you unhappy?"

  “They never took me out to play. I have never been to a playground, have no picnic experience, let alone travel. When I was a child, I watched TV with fear, for fear of being discovered by them.

  I try to think about it, but I don’t have any fond memories of my childhood…”

  Lephne said, "Not once?"

"No.

  My mother is a very boring person. She doesn’t even like to eat outside. She thinks the restaurants outside are unhygienic. When she encounters little things, she will think pessimistically. Her life doesn’t seem to have any fun.

  Even family dinners can become a burden for her, and she doesn't think about the joy of family gatherings.

   Instead, I worry about washing a few more dishes.

  In her words, why do people eat?

  How nice to have one meal a day... something like that.

  She is always full of all kinds of negative energy, and she likes to scold people, especially my dad.

  This problem was not obvious when I was young, but the older I get, the more I like to swear. "

   "Will she behave like this in front of outsiders?"

   "No, only in front of family members."

  Lephne said, "I can understand. I've seen people like the one you mentioned. They care a lot about the evaluation of outsiders and leave the good side to outsiders. Those who are hurt are often the people close to them."

   "That's right, my parents are this type of people. They would rather lower their living standards than buy one less piece of clothing." Walker sighed,

   "Sorry, what I said was a bit off.

  I have been learning in my childhood, but I have never experienced the joy of childhood.

  This caused me to be unable to experience happiness when I grew up.

   Many people may not be able to understand this kind of statement, and even think it is a bit hypocritical, but it is the truth.

   Same thing, others might laugh, to me... what's so funny?

   I'm in pain and I want to change, but I'm finding it...really hard. "

  “The only happy time in my life was probably when I was with my grandpa. He was a happy little old man with little education and a blue-collar worker, but he was very sunny and happy.

  Every time we are together, he will play with me.

   It's not the kind of perfunctory responsibility, but really likes to play with me.

  The most memorable thing for me is that he took me on a field adventure and treasure hunting, driving his old pickup truck, we set up tents, looked for hay together, and hunted together...

  Although the treasure was not found in the end, I was really happy.

  I will remember it until the day I die.

  This is something I have never experienced with my parents. They are qualified parents, but it is more of a responsibility.

   I don’t want my children to be worse than other people’s children.

   As for whether I'm going to be happy or not, they never seem to think about it.

  I want to find my own happiness, no, to be precise, I want to learn to be happy, so I came here to hunt for treasures. This will be the second unforgettable experience in my life.

  I am very happy these days, and I am very happy to meet you.

Thanks. "

   This night, perhaps because of the excitement and joy after finding the treasure, the three chatted for a long time.

   An elderly judge.

  A dynamic detective.

  A single mother who is living in distress and wants to fight for custody.

  A temporary treasure hunting team composed of three people with different identities, statuses and life experiences successfully found the treasure.

   I have to say that fate is indeed magical sometimes.

  …

  The next morning.

  Luke brewed a pot of Longjing, sat on a chair, drank tea, and listened to the birds singing in the trees.

"ha…"

   Walker yawned and stepped out of the RV, "Good morning."

   "Would you like a cup of green tea?"

   "Hua Guo Tea?"

   "Exactly."

   "Give me a cup, I haven't had it for a long time, just to miss it." Walker picked up the teacup, took a sip, and glanced around, "Where is Revni? Why is her car gone?"

  Luke said, "She's gone."

   "Why did you leave in a hurry? She didn't even say hello to us. We are a team. Could it be..." Walker seemed to think of something,

   "Are our gold coins still there?"

   "Still, she didn't take our stuff."

   Walker breathed a sigh of relief, "Sorry, I shouldn't have doubted my partner.

   But why did she leave without saying goodbye? Are you worried that we will grab her gold coins? "

  Luke pointed to the envelope on the table, "She left a letter, you should take a look."

  Walker picked up the envelope and opened the letter inside, "Luke, Walker...

  By the time you read this letter, I have already left.

  sorry, I lied to you, my name is not Lephne...

  I didn't believe you at first, so I didn't say my real name, I'm really sorry.

   Also, Walker, I want to apologize to you, a big apology.

  The bear that attacked your tent was attracted by me with honey. I didn't intend to hurt you, but I just wanted the bear to destroy your tent and supplies, so that you could not continue the treasure hunt.

  I need money very much, I desperately want to get the treasure, I am worried that other people will **** the treasure, sorry, I am really guilty.

  I don't expect your forgiveness, but...I want to tell you.

  Because...we're a team and I don't want to leave with regrets.

  I mustered up the courage to write all this.

   It’s ridiculous to say that I used honey to lure the bear to your camp, but because I was too nervous, I didn’t cover the honey. The bear searched for the smell and found my camp, and also destroyed my tent.

  I have done this myself.

  However, because of this reason, I got to know you, and I am really glad to be your partner.

  I will always remember this treasure hunt and put the money to good use.

   Thank you again.

  Alena Pruitt. "

  Walker sat on the chair and read the letter carefully twice, "Although I can see that Revni, no, it should be that Aliena is hiding something, but I didn't expect it to be like this...

  It seems right to team up with you. "

  Luke refilled him a cup of tea, "Are you a little disappointed?"

   "A little bit, but when I think about it carefully, I feel a little relieved.

  In the end, she chose to believe us and told us the truth of the matter, including her real name. Walker sighed softly.

"do you know?

   I have been a judge for so many years, tried many cases, and sent many suspects to prison.

   There are many people who are not really evil, they... just choose a wrong path when they are most helpless.

I am always thinking…

  If, when they are most helpless, they can get help from others and get out of trouble, maybe they won't take the road of crime.

   But I can only think.

  I'm a judge, and when a suspect is on trial, it's a sign that he's probably made a mistake.

   It's too late.

   This time, Elena also encountered difficulties, and she also needed money.

  If she doesn't form a team with us, she won't be able to get the treasure, and she will probably go down the road of crime.

   I'm glad I helped her instead of judging her. "

"I can understand your thoughts. I have always been worried that she will steal our gold coins. It's not that I'm afraid of being stolen, but... I don't want to catch her with my own hands." Luke is a policeman, but if everything in life is used If the police think about it, it will be very tiring.

   Like Walker, it's hard to feel joy in life anymore.

  Walker asked, "You already found out that she has a problem?"

  Luke smiled, "I'm going to cook.

   After breakfast, we should go home. "

  …

  After the meal, Luke and Walker cleaned up the campsite's trash.

   Embarked on the return journey.

  Back to downtown Los Angeles, Luke said goodbye to Walker, returned the RV to the car rental company, and drove his big Ben to his mother's house.

   At noon, I had a meal at my mother's house and talked about my experiences in the past few days.

  Linda didn't believe it at first. She had heard a lot about treasure hunting, but that was just hearsay. There are only a handful of people who can actually find treasure.

  Luke didn't bother to explain, and gave her a gold coin directly.

   Linda was stunned for a long time, it was the first time she had received such a gift in most of her life.

  Looking at his son's nouveau riche temperament, he feels that the story about the treasure is probably true.

   In the afternoon, Luke went home and took a shower, hid the gold coins, took a nap, and recharged his energy to save taxes.

  In the past two days, because of the treasure, his sleep quality was not very good.

night.

  Luke went to Daisy's house for a date. Everything was fine in the wild, except that he was a little lonely.

  The long night is long and lonely.

  Young people are angry and exercise more...

   The new case hasn't been decided yet.

   I’m afraid that everyone will feel that it’s watery, so I’ll write less about daily life today.

   Write a new case tomorrow.

   I think of three different versions of the plot of the treasure hunt.

   The first version is more dangerous and exciting.

   The second version is suspenseful and complex.

   But I thought about it carefully. What I wrote was about daily life. It was so dangerous and suspenseful. What is the difference between it and a case?

   There is a relatively dull third version.

   There is a way to relax.

   It’s good to write light plots occasionally.
