The next day, Luke called early and asked Zhu Yu to meet.
Zhu Yu also didn't expect that once the matter was settled, this Luke would not treat him as an outsider and directly make an appointment at his home.
Luke's home is on the other side of New York City. When Zhu Yu drove there, he found that it was an apartment. Some naughty children were playing nearby, and occasionally a ball would be kicked against the wall or door, but no one paid attention.
There were weird graffiti on the walls on the side of some buildings, and homeless people staggered past as if there was no one around.
There were a few people whispering in the corner, looking around with their eyes from time to time.
More people outdoors looked at Zhu Yu's large black SUV with vigilance or hostility.
This is not a stable neighborhood.
Zhu Yu suddenly understood why Luke was a little anxious yesterday and why he couldn't finish talking in the middle of some words.
"Qin Fei, you and Dalong stay in the car. If necessary, take action yourself." Zhu Yu ordered, "Ran Jie, you and I come up."
Ran Jie responded and followed Zhu Yu down.
Zhu Yu applied for green cards and gun licenses for all three people.
Now all three of them have certificates and guns.
This large black SUV is not cheap at first glance, and Zhu Yu has already seen some evil intentions in the eyes of some people.
Cao Dalong and Qin Fei walked out and observed their surroundings vigilantly.
Zhu Yu took Ran Jie into the apartment and arrived at Luke's door.
Before he knocked on the door, he heard a woman yelling inside:
"Look at what you've done? Luke, please, stop messing around, okay? Stop looking for any treasures - haven't you been tortured enough? I just want to live a peaceful life... "
"Yin Lian, will you believe me this time? This time I'm really going to find the treasure!"
Look at the information I have found over the past two years, it has been narrowed down to the smallest possible scope! Believe me, as long as we have a professional treasure hunter, we can become rich in no time!
We can immediately change to a big house, give little Zach a good school, I can change to a good car, and you can have beautiful clothes... Believe me, Yin Lian, believe me one last time, okay? "
The woman didn't speak, only a faint cry.
Zhu Yu was a little embarrassed. Should he knock on the door now or not?
Just when he was hesitating, a man came up from behind.
Hearing footsteps, Zhu Yu turned around and saw a tall policeman.
"Are you the collaborator Luke is looking for?" The policeman asked straight to the point: "I heard you are lucky? Why don't you go in?"
Zhu Yu guessed that this was the person Luke said had helped him, so he nodded and said:
"Then you are the other collaborator? I just came up and didn't have time to knock on the door."
"Okay, okay, there are so many things!" the policemen muttered, pushed Zhu Yu away, stepped forward and knocked on the door vigorously, saying loudly while knocking:
"Luke, I'm here! By the way, the Chinese guy is here too!"
Zhu Yu could tell that the policeman didn't like him.
But he didn't intend to make friends with the other party, so it didn't matter.
Luke said hurriedly inside:
"I'm coming!"
The door opened and Luke let the three people in. He was a little surprised to see Ran Jie.
"My assistant." Zhu Yu said, "My assistant and I work better together on this kind of thing."
"Okay." Luke didn't raise any objections. He could also guess that the other party didn't need to pay extra.
The policeman was still mumbling: "How can a treasure hunter be so awesome and still need an assistant? Don't you mean a lone ranger?"
Zhu Yu regarded his words as nothing and looked at the room by himself.
It's very small and old, and the furniture and everything are old-fashioned.
It can be seen that the hostess has taken good care of the place, it is very clean and the things are arranged neatly.
But it cannot hide the nature of poverty.
The paint on the floor has been worn, and the dining table is obviously used for a long time, maybe it is second-hand.
A child came over holding a dinosaur toy and said to Luke:
"Dad, can you help me fix up my dinosaur Barry?"
Luke knelt down and said to the boy:
"Zach, Dad has to do something very important. Can I fix it for you later?"
The boy said nothing and did not leave.
Ran Jie stepped forward and said:
"Come, uncle, help you fix it."
The policeman said in a rough voice:
"Little brat! You'd better go into the house, we have important things to talk about! If you interfere with our conversation, I will arrest you!"
The boy's mouth dropped and he was about to cry. Luke said hurriedly:
"Forsythe, don't scare Zach, he's a coward."
The policeman laughed.
At this time, a woman came out of the kitchen with coffee. She was a little surprised when she saw an extra person outside. However, she brought three cups, so she gave the policeman, Zhu Yu and Ran Jie one cup each, and whispered to them while walking back. The boy said:
"Zach, go play in your room, Dad has something to do."
At this time, Ran Jie had already reattached the lost dinosaur head. Zach smiled and said to Ran Jie:
"Thank you!"
Then he made a face at the policeman, turned around and ran into his house.
Policeman Fusis got angry and raised his baton to scare the children. Zhu Yu said calmly:
"Police shouldn't scare children."
Fussy snorted, put down his baton, and followed the hostess until she entered the kitchen.
Zhu Yu vaguely felt that the relationship between Forsis and the Luke family was a bit subtle.
"Okay, everyone is here, let's sign the agreement and then plan how to start the treasure hunt."
Luke was a little excited and took out three agreements and said:
"I asked professionals to write this agreement. Please read it carefully."
Zhu Yu took a look and found that there were no traps - or in other words, this was basically a treasure hunter-style cooperation template, but with specific content added.
After reading it, Zhu Yu signed.
The policeman also signed impatiently, and then said to Luke:
"There is no need to do these things, I believe you!"
Luke said: "This matter is very important, and I hope that all three of us will take it seriously."
He himself signed all three copies and gave each person one copy. After putting away his copy, Luke took out a document bag, took out a pile of information, and placed them one by one in front of everyone.
"These are the information I have collected over the past two years. They contain detailed records and reports of the bank robbery, as well as the testimonies of relevant personnel, including my subsequent visits."
He said to Zhu Yu again:
"Through Fussy, I also obtained some information from within the police. At that time, the police killed the robber, but there was no confession. There was no gold in the robber's residence. They also searched the surrounding area and found nothing."
Luke took out a map, drew a circle with a pen and said:
"This was the location of the shootout between the robbers and the police. Through my investigation over the past two years, I found that after the robbers left the bank, they stopped in a total of three places. Our treasure hunt focused on these three places."
Zhu Yu nodded. He has already seen that these three places are all in New York City and are not very remote.
"There are people living in these three places, right?" Zhu Yu suddenly said, "How can you search in other people's homes?"
Luke pointed at Forsythe and said:
"That's what he's going to do."
Forsythe proudly puffed up his chest and was about to speak when the hostess came out again and brought Luke a cup of coffee. Forsyth deliberately said loudly:
"With me here, I will definitely give you enough time to hunt for treasure! Don't worry about this!"
His peripheral vision was always on the woman, but Luke didn't notice it. Instead, he excitedly said to Zhu Yu:
"If there's no problem, you can go to the first location this afternoon to search for treasures. Do you need to prepare anything? For example, a metal detector or something?"
"I have them all. I have them with me in the car." Zhu Yu said, "As long as you are allowed inside, I can go look for the gold at any time!"
When the hostess heard Zhu Yu's confident answer, she glanced at him curiously, then her eyes met the policeman's, and she hurried into the kitchen with some dodge.
"That's great!" Luke clapped his hands, "Let's have dinner at my place at noon. We'll go there together in the afternoon. I can't wait to see what's there!"
"We won't have any food." Zhu Yu did not take the initiative to ask for the specific house number of the first spot, "I also want to buy some small parts. When you guys get there, send me a spot and I will go there. "
Luke hesitated for a moment, turned to look at the kitchen, and then nodded in agreement.
Policeman Fussy said unceremoniously:
"Then I'll stay and eat."
After saying that, he walked directly to the kitchen and said as he walked:
"I want to see what delicious food your wife Laura makes today."
Zhu Yu was a little strange, but didn't say much and went downstairs with Ran Jie.
"The policeman and Luke's wife..." Ran Jie whispered.
"We don't have to worry so much, we just need to stay vigilant and do our own thing."
Zhu Yu is not a moral gentleman. A policeman like Fusius looks like a local snake at first glance, so there is no need to mess with him.
However, Zhu Yu also vaguely felt that although Fuxisi behaved rudely on the surface, compared with the simple Luke, he was already cunning and cunning!
Don't be fooled!
Getting on the bus, Cao Dalong said:
"Boss, when you went in just now, a policeman came over to question you. He was very fierce! Fortunately, we all have all the documents. The policeman seemed to be in trouble, so he didn't embarrass us."
Zhu Yu and Ran Jie looked at each other. The policeman was obviously Fusius.
"By the way, there were a few gangsters who wanted to come over to cause trouble, but we gave them a lesson and let them go."
It's such a mess here!
"Let's buy some things and then eat. We'll start working in the afternoon. You two are still in the car, and continue to be vigilant..."
Hearing that he was still in the car, Cao Dalong was a little reluctant.
"You met the policeman. He is another partner. In order to avoid embarrassment, of course, there is also an important point. There is something wrong with that policeman. You are our fallback, so you must remain vigilant..."
As soon as he heard that it was a retreat, Cao Dalong's expression became serious.
Just don’t drag the oil bottle!
Zhu Yu took four people to buy some parts, and then went to have a meal. The rest was waiting for Luke's call.
Luke must also be anxious. Zhu Yu didn't wait in the car for half an hour when Luke called and told the specific location.
After driving to the location, Zhu Yu found that it was an old-fashioned residential building with a shopping mall, pharmacy and so on nearby.
Luke and Fussis had already arrived. Zhu Yu and Ran Jie got off the car and went over. Luke stood on the side of the road and said to Zhu Yu:
"The information I found was that after they left the bank, they drove to the parking lot of this shopping mall. Then one of them went to the pharmacy to buy medicine. Because there was no surveillance at that time, it was not certain that they parked in the parking lot and then went to other places. There is no place.”
Zhu Yu was speechless. Isn't this scope a bit too big?
If the gold was really hidden here, someone might have picked it up!
"That batch of gold has never appeared. Of course, it is possible that it was taken away by someone, but the probability is too low. I have checked countless people in the past two years, and this possibility has basically been ruled out."
Seeing Luke's confident face, Zhu Yuquan believed it.
You’re here, let’s take a look.
"Let's go in." Zhu Yu said to Ran Jie.
"The drugstore has been renovated, so there's no need to look at it. The shopping mall and basement are still the same. You guys are looking for treasures for me. Do you think there is no need to clear out the people inside?" Luke said to Zhu Yu when he saw that Forsis didn't move.
"unnecessary."
Entering the shopping mall, Zhu Yu found that the place was actually in a semi-deserted state.
The mall is not big, and the first floor is full of clothes. But even from Zhu Yu's point of view, these clothes are relatively old-fashioned and low-end.
Not many people saw it, and not many people bought it.
Zhu Yu glanced at it, found nothing, and walked to the second floor.
Outside, Fusis watched Zhu Yu and Ran Jie disappear from the glass door, turned to Luke and said:
"Do you think these two can find that gold?"
Luke hesitated and said:
"They're more professional."
Fussy looked up at the fifth-floor shopping mall and said:
"Then you wait here, I have something else to do, call me if you need anything!"
After that, he drove away in the police car.
Luke watched the police car leave, clenched his fists, and finally relaxed.
There was nothing valuable on the second floor. Zhu Yu and Ran Jie had already reached the third floor.
The third floor has been cleared, and now there is nothing on the ground except some garbage that has not been cleared away.
Ran Jie looked around and then looked at Zhu Yu.
Zhu Yu opened his eyes as usual, looked around, and then looked up at the ceiling above.
The ceiling was originally closed, but now it was torn into a mess, and in some places the wiring ducts and cement ring beams from the original construction of the building were exposed.
At this moment, Luke walked up, saw Zhu Yu observing, and asked:
"How's it going? Did you find anything?"
Just as Zhu Yu was about to shake his head, his eyes suddenly lit up:
"There's a discovery!"
Luke was surprised!
Why did I discover it when I first came up?
This is unlikely, right?
Zhu Yu looked around and said to Luke:
"We're not sure yet, but there may indeed be something hidden inside. Our clothes are wrong now and can easily arouse others' suspicion. It's best to change into decoration workers' clothes and come here."
Luke immediately said:
"Yes, yes! What you said makes sense! Come on, let's get ready now!"
He is already a little excited!
