The three of them took a few steps back and entered the alley. They could see the repair shop, but it was difficult to observe it from the other side.
When the police car drove over, several repairmen had already returned to their workstations, pretending to be repairing the car.
When the kids saw the police car, one of them yelled and then disappeared. Two of them rubbed Zhu Yu's body and ran away.
When the two policemen came down, two repairmen came over immediately and asked:
"Officer, what services do you need?"
"Do a comprehensive inspection. By the way, the brakes are not working properly. Let's take a look at the situation. Also, add what needs to be added." A fat white policeman said arrogantly, "By the way, go buy us two Here’s a cup of coffee!”
The repairman hesitated. At this time, a white man in his thirties came out, handed the repairman a banknote and said:
"Why don't you go quickly?"
The repairman took the money and left quickly. The white man said to the police:
"You two officers, would you like to sit inside? It's quite noisy here."
"No, we still have to patrol." Another slightly thinner policeman said in a calm tone: "You don't need to worry about us, we will leave in a while."
The owner of the repair shop, the white man, did not go away, but chatted. Seeing that the police had no intention of talking, he went over and urged the repairman to check and perform maintenance quickly.
Cao Dalong was a little puzzled and asked in a low voice:
"They're just two patrolmen. The owner of this repair shop shouldn't have such a low attitude!"
Ran Jie, who had been here for a longer time, guessed:
"Either the boss is asking for help from the police, or these two policemen are holding his lifeline."
At this time, the coffee repairman came over quickly and handed over two cups of coffee. The fat policeman took them and drank them.
The thin policeman took the coffee, thanked the repairman, and walked over to look at the car while drinking.
After about ten minutes, the car was ready. Before getting on the car, the fat policeman said to the white boss:
"You have to hurry up here. In half a month, it will have to be demolished. This is not because we are making things difficult for you. There is nothing we can do about the arrangements from above."
After that, he drove away.
No wonder!
The white boss sighed and said to the repairmen:
"You guys pack up your things and go back first. It seems that there will be no business in a short time."
Several repairmen immediately dispersed as if they had received amnesty.
The white boss sighed again and walked inside.
"Hey, sir!" Zhu Yu hurriedly walked out and shouted.
The white boss stopped when he heard the sound, turned around and saw Zhu Yu, and asked with some confusion:
"Sir, you called me?"
"Yes." Zhu Yu stepped forward and stretched out his hand:
"Hello, I have a business I want to talk to you about."
"Business?" Upon hearing that there was business, the white boss suddenly smiled on his face.
He was wearing a short-sleeved T-shirt, jeans, and hiking shoes, all of which looked ordinary.
Although this repair shop is quite large, the equipment is relatively old and not many people come here. Could it be that when the boss heard the word business, his eyes lit up.
"You are……?"
"I'm from a film and television company." Zhu Yu shook hands with the boss and introduced himself, "Our company is currently filming a movie, similar to Fast and Furious."
"Oh, I understand! The kind that drives a racing car is really good!" The white boss praised him first, whether he believed it or not.
"There is a section in the plot that was filmed in a repair shop," Zhu Yu pointed to the man's repair shop and said, "We think your repair shop better meets our requirements, so..."
"That's great!" the white boss said excitedly, "How much can you pay? How long will it take?"
"We need to go and inspect it first, do you think it's okay?"
"Of course." The white boss was very enthusiastic. "Please come with me - by the way, my name is Louis, the Louis from Louisiana."
Zhu Yu nodded and followed Lewis in.
The building of the repair shop is very high and very dirty inside. Some parts and tools are randomly thrown on the ground, and oil stains are everywhere.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm quite busy here, so I haven't cleaned up yet." Louis lied straight out of his mouth, "But I think this can look more professional."
Zhu Yu nodded slightly noncommittally and looked around.
It can be seen that the stains and graffiti on the walls are very old, and some of them have been molded.
The repair tools are relatively primitive, inferior to those of some domestic repair shops.
Zhu Yu's eyes swept over the wall and the ground one by one, calmly, but actually a little disappointed.
The old place was indeed an old place, but no gold was discovered.
I walked from repair shop to repair shop and found nothing.
"Where is the place behind?" Zhu Yu pointed to the wall. He saw a small door through which he could pass.
"My office, the repairman's dormitory, the warehouse, and the water room."
Lewis also saw that Zhu Yu seemed dissatisfied, so he stopped joking and introduced seriously.
"Go over and have a look."
Louis led them through the small door. The space on that side was not as big as this one, but the room was separated and only the door could be seen.
Lewis really wanted to make this "business", so he opened all the doors one by one and asked Zhu Yu to take a look.
Zhu Yu looked at them one by one, his expression becoming more and more disappointed - really disappointed.
By the time he reached the last room, he had already given up.
"This is the water room. All our water for car washing and domestic use is here." Louis continued to introduce hard.
He vaguely felt that this business might go bad, but he tried his best to seize the last possible opportunity.
Zhu Yu came to the door of the water room and took a glance. His expression was calm, but his heart was ecstatic!
There were seven or eight buckets on the floor of the water room, obviously filled with water.
The faucet is in the corner. There is a one-meter-high pool built with cement and bricks. There is a pipe diagonally extending downwards from the inside, about thirty centimeters above the ground. The bucket receives water from the pipe.
After reading it, Zhu Yu turned around and walked to Lewis's office, which he had seen before.
"Okay, let's talk about cooperation." Zhu Yu sat on the sofa unceremoniously and said to Louis - as if he was the master.
"Really? That's great!" Louis originally thought it was all over, but he didn't expect that there was a sudden change!
"I plan to rent it for two days. I will deposit five thousand dollars here for you first, but you have to give me the key. When our crew enters, we don't want anyone else to disturb us."
"Five thousand dollars?" Louis weighed it. Two days, five thousand dollars, a great deal!
Under normal circumstances, let alone two days, he would not earn five thousand US dollars even in half a month!
The main thing was to separate people, which made him a little worried.
But think about your own repair shop. Those old tools are not worth five thousand dollars in total. This business can be done!
"make a deal!"
Lewis nodded decisively.
Zhu Yu stood up and said:
"Tomorrow morning you can tell your people not to come. We'll come here with the money and you hand me the keys and then you can leave."
"OK."
After being sent to the door by Louis, Zhu Yu asked casually:
"Your place is so remote that we almost didn't find it. By the way, where can we go from here?"
Louis reported a street, Zhu Yu nodded slowly and said no more.
It was Louis who poured the bitter water himself:
"It's really unlucky! The people who drew the map didn't include this road. I don't know who tampered with the satellite map, and it said it was going to be completely demolished, so few people knew about this place, which led to the loss of my repair shop's business. It’s really, really bad…”
No wonder!
But this had nothing to do with Zhu Yu. He just nodded and left.
Back in the car, Qin Fei said:
"Except for a few kids who wanted to get close to the car and cause trouble but I chased them away, there was nothing else."
"Okay." The car started to leave, and Zhu Yu said to Ran Jie:
"You go rent a camera or any props, and prepare some empty boxes. We will bring them in when the time comes."
Now that we’ve said we’re going to make a movie, let’s do the whole thing.
If Joanna hadn't been going to school, Zhu Yu would have even taken her with him. Girls on motorcycles and the like could easily attract the audience and make Louis believe his words more.
Ran Jie sent Zhu Yu to the villa and drove to rent props.
Zhu Yu reviewed the whole thing and found that there was no problem, so he continued reading.
The phone rang, and Zhu Yu glanced at it, a little surprised.
The caller was Heine.
The Jewish man who was looking for the wealth looted by the former Germans and tracking down the escaped 10,000-word officer.
Zhu Yu picked up and said:
"Hello, Mr. Heine."
"Mr. Zhu Yu, congratulations, you are now the most cooperative treasure hunter in New York!"
Heine's voice was sincere, but Zhu Yu didn't believe it at all.
"Is it true?" Zhu Yu would also be conceited, "I really can't believe it, is this impossible? After all, I have only been in this industry for half a year..."
"Of course it's true." Heine said with a smile, "You are so young in the industry, but you have created miracles one after another and recovered treasures that the veteran treasure hunters have been searching for for many years, so you got this title. "
Zhu Yu knew that this was not true, and that it was probably Heine's prelude to what he was going to say next.
"I don't think I'm qualified yet." Zhu Yu said this very sincerely. After all, without the Heavenly Eye, his abilities would be really limited.
"No, no, no, Zhu, there is no need to be humble. Here, in this land, if you are humble, people will think you are arrogant."
Zhu Yu smiled noncommittally.
"By the way, Mr. Zhu Yu, I have something I want to talk to you about."
"You said it." Zhu Yu was worried that he might still be talking about Brad.
After all, there is real stuff in that notebook.
The reason why Zhu Yu remained still was because he was afraid that David Heine would stare at him.
Now it seems that there is nothing unnecessary to worry about.
"Someone has obtained a batch of ancient Chinese books. I heard that you are collecting these things. I hope to contact you through me and sell them to you."
"Chinese ancient books?" Zhu Yu was a little confused. He only received Chinese ancient books from Hans, but he didn't act very deliberately.
How did Heine know this?
Logically speaking, there shouldn't be any intersection between Heine, a Jew, and Hans, a German, right?
"What kind of books are they? Is there a catalog? Or an appraisal or something?"
Zhu Yu felt that it was okay to collect some domestic antiquities from abroad. Zhu Yu did not recommend doing such a thing.
Of course, you can’t let others take you for granted.
"If you are interested, we can make an appointment to discuss it in detail."
"In that case... the day after tomorrow." Zhu Yu thought for a while and said, "I have time the day after tomorrow."
"Okay, I'll call you then."
After hanging up the phone, Zhu Yu felt that this matter might not be that simple.
How could Heine be so kind as to introduce and sell ancient books to him?
I don't understand, but Zhu Yu thinks that in any case, just be careful.
Early the next morning, Ran Jie and the others drove over to pick up Zhu Yu and the others.
At this time, the three of them had already changed into work clothes, hats, and carrying work boxes. Qin Fei was holding the camera, which seemed like that.
An SUV and a pickup truck, carrying boxes and other things, drove to Louis' repair shop.
When I arrived at the place, I saw Lewis standing outside the gate waiting.
He saw two cars approaching and saw Zhu Yu waving to him from the car window, and he suddenly became excited.
The two cars drove into the work station. Zhu Yu got out of the car and handed a check to Louis:
"The money belongs to you, and this place belongs to me for the time being. Today we will inspect and decorate this place, shoot tomorrow, and you can come back the day after tomorrow."
After Lewis checked the check, he happily handed the key to Zhu Yu and turned to leave.
"Lock the door." Zhu Yu ordered.
Ran Jie and others immediately locked the door.
"It seems that Louis takes this very seriously, and the place is kept very clean."
The tools and parts that were scattered around were put into boxes, and the oil stains on the floor were also cleaned up.
Even the graffiti on the cover has been partially erased.
"You guys, please take out some of the tools here and mess them up a bit."
Zhu Yu looked a little dissatisfied: "There is also oil and other things, pour some on the ground."
Although Ran Jie and others didn't understand why Zhu Yu did this, they didn't ask and just did it.
While they were fussing, Zhu Yu came to the water room through the small door.
He took out a hammer and a chisel from the space and dug into the pool in the water room.
After knocking for a while, he chipped away a brick.
The three people outside had almost "arranged" the "scene". Cao Dalong stood up and walked inside. Ran Jie grabbed him:
"Don't go, the boss didn't ask."
Cao Dalong was a little puzzled:
"We're done here, why don't you go over and help?"
"The boss will call if necessary." Ran Jie pointed to the tools and said, "If you think it's okay, just change these things."
"I won't do it!" Cao Dalong was not stupid. He already understood what Ran Jie meant and stopped walking inside.
Zhu Yu took off another brick, looked into it, and found the hole inside.
A bag identical to the two previous travel bags was placed inside.
There’s more stuff in here!
Zhu Yu estimated that there must be at least hundreds of gold bars in it!
However, even if these are added up, the number is not right, right?
There were still a few pieces of paper in the bag, but Zhu Yu didn't read them and just moved some of the gold bars into the space, leaving only a dozen gold bars in the bag.
He put the bag aside, took out the cement he had prepared earlier from the space, and placed the two bricks on it.
After feeling that there was no difference from before, Zhu Yu put away the hammer, chisel and remaining cement, cleaned the place, and walked out with his bag.
Then he said to Ran Jie and the others:
"Okay, pack your things, let's go!"
The reason why Lewis was told three days was naturally to confuse him.
But one hour is enough!
Zhu Yu couldn't wait to go back and study the pieces of paper in the bag!
