   It was a surprise to get a new card, so Luke directly clicked to redeem it.

  For solving the case this time, he got 160 points, plus the 50 points saved before, a total of 210 points.

  Remove the 100 points for the new card, and there are 110 points left in the system.

  Luke "…"

   Do I need it?

   Well, this thing is like money, not too much.

   It takes 30 points to redeem a card. Luke directly redeemed three new cards, leaving 20 points.

  He used up a detection card and an identification card in Hawaii before, but because of the exchange for a new card, the points reserve was insufficient, so he had to replenish it next time.

  In the afternoon, Luke got off work early.

   All the treasures he and Walker obtained in Red Rock Canyon were put up for auction at the Jialishi Auction House.

  The auction was held this morning. Luke received the information that the gold jewelry has been auctioned. He needs to go to the auction house to confirm the specific commission amount and sign the auction confirmation letter before the auction money will be transferred to the designated account.

  Crafts Law Firm.

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

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

  As long as it involves large transactions and signing issues, it will be safer to bring a lawyer.

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

   Luke gets out of the car to meet Daisy.

   Standing next to Daisy was a man in a black suit. He was handsome, with a mixed-race look, but his figure looked a little thin.

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

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

  Luke forced a smile, "Thanks, 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 your news, all kinds of explosive big cases...

  I look forward to having 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. We have a drink together when we have time. I know a great bar." "

  Luke pointed to Daisy at the side 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, "God, Captain Li is your client, why didn't I hear you say it?"

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

  The man called Jimmy rolled his eyes, "Have fun."

  Luke started the car, glanced at Jimmy who was still waving in the rearview mirror, "This guy looks weird, is he trying to steal your client?"

   "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 showed a look of disgust.

  Daisy laughed, "Actually, he is not bad, and some customers trust him."

   "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 Jialishi Auction House.

   Luke was received by a white man named Steve Reynolds.

   "Mr. Li, nice to see you again.

   Congratulations to your auction item for the high price. "

   "Thank you, Manager Renault." Luke was also looking forward to it. He just received a message that the auction was sold, and he was not sure about the specific auction amount.

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

   "The lounge has prepared good black tea, I'll have someone take you there first.

  After that, I will come to you with the file. "

   "OK, see you later."

  Steve Reynolds told the waitress on the side a few words, and asked her to take Luke and the two to the lounge.

   Along the way, Luke took a look. The auction house's office is very private, with solid walls, not the glass-partitioned offices that are common in office buildings.

  Luke entered the lounge, drank a few sips of tea, the door of the lounge was pushed open, and Steve Reynolds walked in with a folder.

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

  Deducting 5% commission, the auction house needs to pay you $1.045 million. "Steve Reynolds took out a document and handed it to Luke, "This is the auction confirmation letter. If there is no problem, please sign it, and we will deposit the auction proceeds into the designated account. "

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

   "How long does the bank transfer take?" Luke handed the document to Daisy.

   "After signing the confirmation letter, within 24 hours."

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

  The transaction is officially completed.

  In addition to the money obtained from the auction of gold jewelry, Luke also caught a wanted criminal in Red Rock Canyon and received a reward of 80,000 US dollars.

   When the money arrives, he has $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 $800,000 with Luke's new detective company.

  After the 800,000 U.S. dollars arrived in the account, Luke would have received 1.4 million U.S. dollars, but considering the tax deduction, there would only be about 1 million U.S. dollars left.

   This money can be used to pay the mid-term housing construction contract fee first, and he can breathe a sigh of relief.

  The remaining gap of 320,000 US dollars should be filled by the end of May.

  Steve Reynolds put away the documents 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 away the business card, stood up, and was about 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 ornaments was found in treasure hunting. The buyer was very interested in this and wanted to know your treasure hunting story.

   In addition, he is willing to buy the treasure map in your hand at a reasonable price. "

  Luke frowned, "What kind of strange request is this? The treasure has already been found, what else does he need the treasure map for?"

   "I don't know, I'm just helping to convey."

  "Can I directly refuse?"

   "Of course, it's your right."

   "OK, help me refuse."

   "I see." Steve Reynolds made a gesture of invitation and sent Luke out of the lounge.

   Hundreds of thousands of dollars came in, 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.

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

  Luke is a foodie, so he did a lot of homework before choosing a restaurant, and found a Japanese restaurant with the best comprehensive reputation.

   The term foodie is becoming more and more popular. In fact, it is not difficult to understand when 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 foodies.

  In the past, there was a shortage of food, and it was always a question of whether we could get enough to eat, so there was nothing to choose.

   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 skirt. She is fashionable and sexy, showing her figure very well.

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

  Daisy put down her backpack and sat opposite Luke, "The restaurant you chose today is not bad.

  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... eat less.”

  Luke handed the menu to Daisy, "Come and order."

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

   "As long as it is cooked."

  After ordering, the waiter first served a jug of sake.

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

   Luke quipped, "Are you all my fans?"

   "Of course, Jimmy is."

   "No, that pervert doesn't count, I mean female fans?"

  The breeze was blowing, Daisy stroked her hair, "Isn't that the one sitting in front of you?"

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

   The two chatted while eating.

  The Japanese dishes are exquisitely made, and the dining experience is not bad. Of course, the price is not cheap.

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

  A black Volkswagen also drove into Luke's community, but it didn't stop, and drove directly past Luke's house.

  Luke drives the car into the garage and returns 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 got up late.

   Being late was routine for Luke.

  It was the first time for Daisy.

   Good card.

  Luke drove Daisy to the law firm. It was already around nine o'clock in the morning, and he was late anyway. Luke was not in a hurry, so he simply went to Palisades to see 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 that Luke chose, in addition to the foundation, the main structure and load-bearing walls are also poured with 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 skeleton, and filled with moisture-proof and fire-proof materials.

  These woods are about the same size, just like building blocks, the wood is built into a one-layer frame, and at the same time, it is fixed with a mortise and tenon structure and metal nuts.

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

  Luke walked around the house. The whole house has been built and the wires and water pipes are being laid.

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

  Luke proposed his own ideas, and the Zhang brothers thought of solutions and construction plans, and the whole morning passed quickly.

   At noon, Luke ordered takeaway and invited the decoration team to eat.

  After dinner, Luke went back to work at the police station.

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

  I exercised vigorously last night, but I was really tired. I still need to take good care of my body.

night.

   Metzker Bar.

   "Cheers!" A squadron of people sat together.

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

   "I chose." The deputy team looked aftertaste. In the past, it was rare to drink such good wine at parties in the team, but now it is different. The first squadron has enough funds in the team.

  Everyone can open their mouths and drink.

  The deputy poured himself another glass and gossiped, "Hey guys, did you hear that?

  The real estate tycoon's wife wants to bail her son. "

  Jackson joked, "Wow, it seems that the bail money in Los Angeles is about to break the record again."

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

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

   Jenny made a gesture of shutting her mouth.

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

  Xiao Hei interrupted everyone, gestured with his hands, shook his head and said, "I dreamed that my lovely daughter was kidnapped, she is so young, she can't even walk.

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

  Two kidnappers took my daughter into a helicopter.

  In desperation, I drove up the **** on a motorcycle, rushed into the air, grabbed the helicopter with both hands, entered the cabin and threw the two criminals off the plane.

   Then, holding her daughter in one hand, and flying the plane with the other.

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

  Luke "…"

  Everyone “…”

   The daily plot of detective stories is not easy to write.

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

   Everyone will go to bed any later.
