Chapter 460

Twelve o’clock at night.

A white Tesla sedan was traveling fast, a white man around twenty years old was sitting in the driver’s side, and a seventeen or eighteen year old Latin girl was sitting in the passenger side.

The Latin girl grabbed the right armrest, “Tom, drive slower, you just drank.”

“Baby, don’t worry, I’m a superb driver.” The white man made a forward shrug.

The Latina girl laughed, “Trust me, being fast doesn’t equal being a great driver, what gave you that misconception?”

“Whoa whoa, you actually doubted me, wanna try?”

The Latina shook her head, “Just drive properly.”

“I’m serious.”

“You’re crazy, this is the countryside.”

“Doing the most primitive sports in a natural setting, that’s what life is all about, trust me, you’ll love it.” As he spoke, Tom made a right turn and pulled out of the driveway at a road junction and drove into the dirt lane beside it.

“Hey Tom, stop it, it’s so dark out here you can’t see anything.”

“It’s more sensational that way isn’t it? And there’s no one here, we can do whatever we want in the car, trust me, it’s super awesome.” Tom finished and simply lowered the passenger seat.

The Latina girl resisted, gave a few token pushes, and nuzzled in as well.

The two youngsters were at a dry age, and after a few kisses, they began to take off their jackets.

The Latina suddenly flinched and widened her eyes, “Tom, there’s someone out there!”

“Hey baby, don’t scare yourself, there’s no one here but us.”

“I actually saw someone, running right past the car.”

Tom started looking around the car as well, but didn’t see anyone, “You must be looking at it wrong.”

“Just drive away from here, it’s making me a little uncomfortable.”

Tom scratched his hair with his right hand, a little annoyed, how could he want to leave when his interest had been piqued, “I’ll go out and have a look.”

“No, let’s go.”

“Babe, don’t worry, there’s nothing to be afraid of with me.” Outside in the dark, Tom also did not want to go down, but in order to let the Latin girl feel at ease and he applauded for love, he still had to go down, fearless under the stimulation of hormones.

Tom took out his hand phone, flicked on the flashlight, opened the car door and walked down.

“Tom, be careful.” The Latina gave a worried look.

“I will, wait for me.” Tom squeezed his eyes and got out of the car and shone his flashlight around, seeing nothing out of the ordinary, then he took the flashlight and looked around the car, again seeing no one.

However, there was a mound of dirt not far away that caught his attention, and Tom had the courage to walk next to the mound and use his cell phone to take a picture of it.

Next to the mound was a large pit, in which lay a man, pale face, round eyes protruding outward, staring at him in death.

Suddenly, the opened man’s mouth opened and a large rat crawled out of it.

“Ah!”

Tom ran his ass back to the car ……

The following morning.

Luke walked into the Robbery and Murder Division with a takeout bag in his hand.

“Hey guys, good morning.

I brought you guys dessert.”

Blackie was the first to approach, “Great, I was looking for something sweet, maybe I’ll be in a better mood.”

“What’s wrong?” Luke took the dessert out of the bag.

“No, nothing, it’s just that Julian’s due date is approaching and I’m a little nervous, anxious and upset, I’ve never felt anything like it before, it’s hard to tell.” Kuro took a piece of dessert and shoved it straight into her mouth.

“If you’re really worried, take a few days off and stay home with her.”

Kuro shook his head, “My mom has moved in with us, and I have nothing to do at home, instead I’m a bit redundant, do you understand that feeling?”

“No, I’m still young.” Luke shrugged.

Black took another piece of dessert, “What’s this one called? It’s quite tasty, where did you get it, Julian will love it.”

“This is called Wife Cake, usually sold in large Chinese supermarkets.”

“Wife cake?” Blackie laughed, “Why is it called that, is it specially given to wives to eat?”

Luke didn’t bother to explain, “That’s right, you can just buy it for Julian to eat.”

The vice team also picked up a piece of wife cake and took a bite, “Luke, you just gained a large amount of treasure, it’s not enough just to treat us to this.”

Luke was a little surprised, “How did you know?”

The lieutenant bristled, “Walker sent out Facebook again with pictures of you guys and the treasure, I’ve never seen him smile so much.”

“Whoa whoa, what an unreliable old man.” Luke spat, but in his heart he didn’t feel bad about it.

There was a case to be made for not revealing one’s wealth, and given Luke and Walker’s status, it wasn’t a bad thing to show it, at least everyone knew where the money came from.

Otherwise, Luke suddenly moved into the mansion, instead, it would make people have bad speculations.

Blackie revealed a curious look, “You guys dug up treasure again?”

“What treasure? Can I take a look?” Jackson also came over.

Seeing that the crowd all revealed curious looks, Luke didn’t hide anything and directly took out a photo of him and Walker’s treasure together.

After the crowd had seen it, they all revealed looks of envy and surprise, although they knew that Luke had dug up the treasure, they didn’t expect it to be so much.

Xiao Hei with a hint of trembling voice: “How much are these gold ornaments worth?”

“We sent it to the auction house for auction, it can be worth about a million dollars or so.”

Xiao Hei said, “You and Walker can share about half a million dollars each?”

“The auction house also has to take a cut, so I guess it’s more than four hundred thousand dollars a person.”

Blackie’s eyes widened, “God ah, then what else to be a police officer, directly to specialize in treasure hunting.”

Luke shook his head, “Treasure hunting isn’t that easy, a lot of times it depends on luck. Walker and I both have serious jobs, so our mindset is good and steady when we are treasure hunting, if we really quit our jobs and become professional treasure hunters, the original purpose of treasure hunting will change, and some things will become complicated instead.”

Luke wasn’t being melodramatic, take this treasure hunting experience, there were many copies of the treasure map and someone found the treasure before he and Walker got to Red Rock Canyon, under normal circumstances they wouldn’t have been able to find even a dime.

He and Walker were able to obtain the treasure, one is luck, the other is by force, occasionally earn an extra income can be, really want to eat as a meal must starve to death.

Blackie’s curious look did not diminish, and asked, “Luke, where did you go treasure hunting, tell us about the treasure hunting process.”

Luke also did not hide, picked up what he could say and described it, “Last time, Walker and I obtained a treasure in Big Bear Lake, and there was a treasure map hidden in that treasure chest.

I studied it for a few days without understanding it, so I gave it to Walker.

The old man was really into treasure hunting and it really did lead him to the location on the treasure map, which was in Red Rock Canyon, Colorado.

Walker bought an RV a while back, and the two of us took it ……”

Luke spoke and the crowd listened intently, no one could be indifferent to the treasure.

The only voice in the room was Luke’s, as Luke recounted the treasure hunting experience, the crowd showed envy, not only envious of his acquisition of the treasure, but equally envious of his adventure.

“Knock knock.”

A knock sounded outside, then the office door was pushed open and Deputy Director Reed walked in from outside.

“Ooooh, are you guys in a meeting?” Reed saw the crowd sitting around.

Luke nodded and said perfunctorily, “Yes Chief, what’s up?”

“There’s a new case, a male body has been found outside of Los Angeles.”

An hour later, Luke led a team to the outskirts of Los Angeles.

The scene was not far from the highway, several police cars were parked on the side of the road, and a cordon had been erected around it.

It was a dirt road, and it was obvious that there were traces of car tires pressed against it, and the tech team arrived at the scene, and they would be responsible for collecting the tire tracks.

Luke continued on, not far away there were signs of dirt being dug up and next to it was a large pit with the body of a man in it.

It was a white man wearing a leather jacket with several circular bloody holes in it.

Luke felt that the dead man was likely to be shot, he carefully observed the body again, and found that the man’s appearance was somewhat familiar ……

Not far away, Blackie was giving a statement to the informant.

Xiao Hei sized up the young white man in his mid-twenties and pointed to the Tesla not far away, “Is this your car?”

“Yes.”

“Nice car.”

“Sure, it’s super awesome.”

“Dude, did you call the cops last night?”

“Yeah.”

“What’s your name?”

“Tom Carter. Just call me Tom.”

“Tom, when did you find the body?”

“About twelve o’clock in the morning.”

“Were you alone at the time?”

“And my girlfriend, the two of us.”

Blackie pressed, “What were you doing here?”

“Dating.”

Blacky squeezed his eyes, “Good choice of location, it’s perfect for a date. How did you guys find the body?”

“We were sitting in the car and my girlfriend felt someone outside the car, so I got out to check and saw the big pit with the ……” Tom sighed, “I don’t really want to remember. ”

Black confirmed, “You mean there was someone else outside the car at the time?”

“I don’t know, my girlfriend isn’t sure, maybe.”

“Was it a man or a woman?”

“She didn’t get a good look either, just a shadow. I shouldn’t have picked this place, I screwed up the date.” Tom sighed again.

Black soothed, “Man, don’t take it too personally, you can make another date.”

John lowered his voice, a little embarrassed, “I …… I can’t right now.”

“What?” Black was slightly confused.

“It’s what you think, ever since I got scared last night …… it’s been like boiled spaghetti …… Jesus Christ, I’m going crazy.”

“Ahem ……” Blackie held back before he didn’t burst out laughing, “Does your girlfriend know?”

“No, I can’t talk about it, she’ll dump me.”

“Then why did you tell me?”

“You’re a detective, you should see dead bodies all the time.

I wanted to ask if you’ve ever been in a similar situation and if there’s a solution?”

“Sorry, I don’t have that kind of experience.” Black glanced around at his coworkers, no, definitely not.

“Man, I sympathize with what you’re going through, you should see a psychiatrist.” Blacky patted him on the shoulder and whispered, “Try Viagra too.”

Tom “……”

I’m only nineteen!

Luke’s voice sounded next to him, “Marcus, done with the statement?”

“Yeah, I’m on my way.” Blacky answered and turned to Tom again, “Good luck, man.”

Blacky walked over to Luke, “Captain, what are your orders?”

“Take a look at this body.”

By now, the coroner had lifted the body out of the large pit.

Xiao Hei walked up and observed, “This guy was shot quite a few times on his body, the murderer is clearly trying to cure him to death, wait, this guy looks a little familiar ……”

Blackie carefully recognized, “God ah, he seems to be Harry Saber.”

Luke said, “I only thought he looked like that before, now that you recognize him too, then I guess it can’t be wrong.”

A shocked look appeared on Blackie’s face, “This guy was actually shot and buried!

If we let Julian know …… no no no, we absolutely can’t let Julian know, even if we have to say it, we have to wait until she gives birth.”

The lieutenant came over, “Marcus, what’s your relationship with this unlucky guy, should we avoid suspicion?”

Black shook his head, “There’s no need, I don’t know him well, I’ve only met him once or twice or two or three times ……”

The vice squad interrupted him, “Don’t try to put me off with this kind of bullshit, what exactly is your relationship with him?”

Black spread his hands, “He’s Julian’s ex-boyfriend.”

Blackie bristled, “You’re wrong, I have no motive. He’s just a loser, he’s no threat to me.

Anyone could have killed him, only I won’t.”

The lieutenant looked aside to Luke, “You know this guy too?”

Luke nodded, he remembered Harry Saber quite well, the kid was part of the Drag Race.

It was the first case he came to L.A. to investigate, and his partner at the time was still David, who had gone to the Drag Race party to cause trouble and beat the kid up in order to get information, and then ‘convinced’ him to become a police informant.

Luke didn’t know if the bastard and David were still in contact, but it was only logical to tell David.

The lieutenant patted the dirt on his hands and turned to Blackie, who was off to the side, and asked, “What did you find out about giving the informant a statement?”

“He and his girlfriend came here for a date, his girlfriend saw someone outside the car, he got out to check, he didn’t see anyone but found the body in the big pit, the unlucky guy was terrified.” Blacky said.

“Which means there was a third person present.” The lieutenant said with another thought.

Xiao Hei nodded and analyzed, “That’s right, I reckon that the suspect should have been digging a pit to bury the corpse, which happened to be seen by this young couple on a date, and the other party rushed away to avoid exposure.”

The vice squad swept a glance at the large pit and shook their heads, “I just observed the situation around the body, the soil is not scattered, indicating that it’s not burying a corpse.

It’s more like digging up a corpse.”
