Los Angeles Detective Chapter 347

  Chapter 347 Surprise

  The next morning.

   Luke is on vacation.

   The reason for the vacation is simple, he shot a suspect.

  As for the closing procedures of the case, it will be handled by the deputy team.

  This is a good thing for Luke. Since he became the captain, he has become more lazy than before.

  Luke exchanged two Jiu-Jitsu cards yesterday, and went to Vaughn Jiu-Jitsu Club early this morning.

  Luke has already made an appointment with Natasha in advance.

   After meeting, Luke said hello, "Coach, good morning."

  Natasha asked, "Good morning, isn't your police station busy recently?"

   "I shot the day before yesterday."

"Are you hurt?"

   "No, God bless." Luke patted his chest.

  Natasha smiled, "I wanted to be more polite to you."

   "No need, the suspect will not be polite to us."

  Natasha clapped her hands and beckoned, "Comeon, let me see if you have improved in the past two days."

   "Then you have to be careful, I practice every day." Luke also walked into the training ground wearing a black Jiu-Jitsu suit.

  The two bowed and saluted each other.

  Luke took the initiative to attack, lowered his body, and was about to hug Natasha's leg and dive down to hug and fall.

  Natasha has rich experience and has seen through Luke's tricks. She supported his right arm with her left hand, pressed the back of Luke's neck with her right hand, and twisted hard, directly breaking Luke's hug and throwing Luke to the ground.

  At this moment, the two switched offense and defense, Natasha pressed Luke's abdomen with her right leg, and pressed Luke's arm with both hands...

  If her left leg is on Luke's neck again, she can complete a cross.

  Luke also has a certain understanding of Jiu-Jitsu, so naturally he won't sit still. He used his left arm to hold Natasha's back of the neck, so that the opponent could not complete the cross lock, and then turned sideways to get rid of Natasha's suppression.

  The two stalemate for a moment, but they were unable to subdue each other immediately.

  The two release each other and return to the standing position again.

  Natasha nodded, "That's right, you're making rapid progress."

   "You teach well, too."

   "It's your turn to be careful this time..." Natasha finished speaking and launched an attack.

  Natasha's attack was very fast, but Luke was not a rookie before. He saw every move and used his physical advantage to resolve the first wave of offensive...

  Jiu-jitsu actual combat training is very hard, and Luke is also studying hard. He used two ju-jitsu cards in one day, and his skills are more comprehensive and proficient.

  From the very beginning, he was reluctant to see the tricks, and then he had the strength to fight.

  In the morning, she was almost beaten, and occasionally in the afternoon, she was able to subdue Natasha by virtue of her physical advantage. Although she lost more than she won, she has made significant progress.

   At the end of the day's training, Natasha once again marveled at Luke's talent, and even asked him if he had any idea of ​​participating in a professional Jiu-Jitsu competition.

  Luke politely declined. The reason why he learned quickly was because the jujitsu cards stimulated his own potential. He just has a relatively strong learning ability, but talent is fixed. Once the talent reaches the peak, it is difficult to improve.

  Currently, he doesn't know how good his Jiu-Jitsu talent is.

For example, his boxing talent has reached the level of a professional boxer, and it is no problem to deal with three or five ordinary people. However, if he participates in a professional boxing match, he is only an ordinary player, and there is a high probability that he will be abused. Not a small gap.

   And this gap is not only their own efforts, but also talent.

  After practicing Jiu-Jitsu, Luke had a barbecue, went home to take a bath, relaxed, and slept soundly at night.

  The next morning, Luke finished his breakfast and drove to the pet store.

  Luke lives alone, which is quite boring. The house is not small, and raising an animal is a bit angry.

  Pilton Street.

   This is a street of pet shops.

  From south to north are shops selling pets, as well as pet hospitals, pet grooming, haircuts and so on.

   Mostly cats and dogs, but also reptiles, snakes, lizards, etc.

  Luke also went in to have a look out of curiosity. He is not very afraid of reptiles, but it always feels awkward to keep them at home. This thing is cold-blooded, so it can increase the anger.

  Luke visited the pet dog store, and the dog can be raised. He also has a dog training card, but the key is that he is too busy to take care of it.

  Luke decided to wait until there was a suitable opportunity to talk about it later.

  Finally, Luke ran to the fish pet store again.

  Fish farming is relatively worry-free. Take a look and feed it when you have time, and don't worry too much when you don't have time.

   It is a living creature after all, and it will make it more angry if you keep it at home.

  Thinking of this, Luke began to choose the fish tank and fish.

  Luke walked around, there are so many fish, so beautiful, such as silver arowana, golden arowana, seven-star knife, parrot fish, Luohan fish and so on.

   Luke was dazzled by the sight, and the silver dragon fish was his favorite among them. He asked the waiter about it. Fish farming is also a technical job. You can raise as many as you want.

  Fish can also fight and even devour each other. Silver arowana can eat small fish, so it can only be kept with large fish.

  The silver dragon fish itself is very large, and can grow to more than one meter long, so you should choose a relatively large fish tank.

  The clerk recommended a two-meter-long and 80-centimeter-high fish tank, which was so big that Luke could go in and take a bath by himself.

  Money is not the main thing, he is worried that cleaning the fish tank will be more laborious.

   Ultimately, he chose to feed smaller fish.

   I bought a fish tank with a length of 100cm, a width of 40cm, and a height of 60cm.

  I bought small ornamental fish, guppy, mary fish, traffic light fish, zebrafish, red swordfish, and two little turtles.

  This is also matched by the clerk for him. According to the clerk, the color matching, water temperature, and environment of these types of fish are more suitable.

  Luke bought the fish tank and fish home, and started researching fish farming equipment, aeration pumps, filters, aquatic plants and decorations, etc. without thinking about eating.

  Luke tossed for more than an hour to set up the fish tank, turn on the water, install the equipment, and finally put the fish into the fish tank.

  The fish are swimming around in the fish tank, the colors are very beautiful, and the house is more lively.

  Luke likes it very much, but he always feels that there is something missing.

  Luke walked into the bedroom and took out a wooden box from the cabinet. The wooden box was not too big, about 45cm long, 35cm wide, and 35cm high. When he opened the box, there were golden gold coins inside.

  Luke thought for a while, and he didn't know if it was out of bad taste, so he directly sprinkled the gold coins into the fish tank.

   Watching the gold coins sink to the bottom and the fish swimming on them, it is even more beautiful.

   As for whether it will be stolen, Luke is not worried.

   Number one, he doesn't invite outsiders.

  Second, even if there are thieves, they will not think that the gold coins in the fish tank are real.

  Third, those who have the guts to steal his gold coins will not look down on these few gold coins.

  Fourth, even if it is really stolen, haha...

  As for the box containing the gold coins, Luke doesn't plan to throw it away, he plans to drill a few holes in it to make a house for the little fish.

  Luke did what he said, and found a toolbox to dig holes in the box.

  The labor costs in Los Angeles are relatively expensive, and they live in wooden houses, which often need to be repaired. Men always have a toolbox.

  Luke took out a pen and drew a few round holes on the box, then directly removed the lid of the wooden box, and tapped the wooden box with a screwdriver, feeling that the sound at the bottom of the box was a little different.

  Luke researched over and over again, feeling that the bottom of the box seemed to be empty, and there seemed to be a sandwich.

  After finding the treasure before, the three of Luke were all fascinated by the gold coins in the box, and no one took the box seriously.

   Now it seems that there may be another mystery at the bottom of the box.

  Luke used a hammer and a screwdriver to pry open the bottom of the box very violently. The compartment is not very big, there is only a thin layer, no wonder it was not found at the time.

  After opening the interlayer, there was a sealed bag inside. The material of the sealed bag was so good that it could not be torn by hand. Luke cut it open with a knife, revealing the contents inside.

  A brownish-yellow map.

  Luke picked up the map and looked at it. There was no obvious mark or location.

   There are a few lines written in the lower right corner,

  'Haha man, here we go again.

  You are the smartest one.

  The gold coins before are just appetizers.

   The real treasure is on this map.

  Want it?

   Then go find it.

  Forrest Finn. '

   "Fuck, you really know how to play." Luke was a little dumbfounded.

  The thoughts of rich people are really confusing.

   At this time, Luke also ignored the fish tank, threw a handful of fish feed, and began to study the treasure map.

  The treasure map this time is far more complicated than the previous one, and the geographical area is also larger. He even suspects that this is not a complete map.

   After researching for a long time, Luke didn't have a clue, and he couldn't find someone to ask about this kind of thing, so he simply hid it and studied it slowly when he had time.

   Treasure is a good thing, who doesn't want it, but sometimes it becomes a burden if you are too persistent.

let it go.

  Although there are only four sides left in the wooden box, it does not hinder its use. Luke punched a few holes in the box and threw it into the fish tank.

  With gold coins and wooden boxes, this small fish tank has a sense of mystery of pirates' hidden treasures.

good.

  Luke is still very satisfied with this fish tank.

   At four o'clock in the afternoon, Luke drove to his mother's house.

   Knowing that Luke will be off these two days, Linda called him to ask him to go home for dinner.

  Luke hasn't been home for a while, and he really misses his mother's cooking skills.

  The weather is fine today, Luke didn't drive, and rode a Harley home.

  Luke's Harley has been remodeled with a lot of money, which is very cool and attracted many envious eyes along the way.

   Entering the community street, Luke slowed down, trying not to affect the neighbors.

  Harley drove directly to the garage door and stopped.

   "Woooooooooooo..."

   There is a loud mowing sound, accompanied by a strong smell of grass.

  The little fat man is mowing the lawn. Luke used to do this kind of work. Now that Luke has moved out, the work falls to the little fat man.

   "Hey buddy, good job. Help me fix it when you have time."

  The little fat man protested loudly, "It is illegal to use child labor!"

   "You should tell your mother about this, and she will help you re-understand California law."

   "She doesn't care about the law, she just redistributes my pocket money."

   "Haha..." Luke smiled, and took a bag from the motorcycle, "Boy, I want to open a little bit, I bought your favorite fried chicken."

   "Only fried chicken?"

   "What more do you want?"

   "No, I'm just asking casually."

   The little fat man was almost busy, put the lawn mower back in the garage, and went home with Luke.

  The little fat man took the bag of fried chicken, opened it and smelled it, with an intoxicated look on his face.

  Luke shook his head and laughed, opened the door and entered the house.

   "Bang bang..."

  The sound of two fireworks salutes sounded.

  Colorful ribbons fell on Luke, and he stood there in a daze.

   "surprise!"

  Grandpa Robert, uncle Val, and mother Linda are all standing at the door.

  Luke is still a little confused, what's going on?

  Linda said happily, "Happy birthday!"

  It was only then that Luke realized that today was his birthday, and it was also his first birthday since he came to Los Angeles.

   Also because it was the first time, he did not remember this special day.

   "Brother, what expression do you have, don't tell me, you actually forgot your birthday."

   "I remembered a few days ago, but I forgot these two days. Thank you, it was indeed a surprise for me."

   "There are not only surprises, but also gifts." Val handed Luke a box, "Happy birthday."

  Luke shook the box, "What gift?"

   "I recorded a few more songs, I believe you will like it."

   "Comeon, uncle, you are not serious." The last time Val gave him a hard disk of songs, Luke only listened to half of the song before throwing it aside. In four words, it is "unbearable".

  Val asked, "What's your expression, boy, is my song not good?

open to take a look. "

  Luke opened the box, and inside was a metal flip lighter with exquisite workmanship, and the English abbreviation of Luke's name was engraved on it. Luke was on fire, braving blue light.

   "Thank you uncle, I like this gift very much."

   "Luke, your gift." Robert handed over a gorgeous envelope.

   "A little expectation." Luke smiled, and opened the envelope, which contained an Amazon gift card.

   "I don't know what you young people like, so, buy what you like."

   "Thank you, grandpa, in fact, no matter what you give, I like it."

   "Happy birthday, my son." Linda also handed a gift box to Luke.

  Luke opened the box, and there was an exquisite black leather bag inside. The material was very soft, comfortable to the touch, and the workmanship was exquisite.

   "I saw that your purse was getting old, so I bought you a new one."

   "Thank you mom, I like it very much." Luke directly replaced the old wallet and put the cash and cards in the new wallet, "It fits well."

  Afterwards, Luke looked at his younger brother, "Where's your gift?"

  The little fat man said, "I got A's in this exam..."

  Luke interrupted him, "No, I don't care if my brother is a lawyer or a dishwasher in the future, I just want a gift now..."

   "You are such a dear brother."

The little fat man rolled his eyes, waved his hand to signal everyone to get out of the way, and walked to the table in the living room. And fresh fruit, I made it all morning.

   It was also my first time making a birthday cake by myself. "

  Luke looked at the cake. Although the appearance was not as exquisite as that of the store, it was indeed the taste he liked. "Did you really make it yourself?"

   Linda said, "I can prove it."

   "Thank you brother, I am very touched, I will taste it well."

  Robert laughed, "Family, I also brought a bottle of champagne, let's have a drink and celebrate Luke's 26th birthday."

  Everyone drank and chatted, accompanied by the crisp sound of the little fat man eating fried chicken, the room was full of laughter...
