Although St. Thomas Island is different from the mainland of the United States, the public security is still good.

After the girl with glasses called the police, the police arrived at the pier within 20 minutes.

The police inquired about the situation at the time, inspected the crime scene, made notes for each of the three people, made a copy of the surveillance video on the yacht, and then left.

Luke didn't have high hopes that they could catch the gangster.

Firstly, because there are few clues, and secondly, because there were no casualties on the yacht and no valuables were lost, the nature of the incident was not considered serious.

Because the island of St. Thomas is special and different from the mainland of the United States, Luke did not disclose his FBI identity.

The guide Elsa Marin got the news and rushed to the dock in advance to meet the three of them.

Five o'clock in the morning.

The four of them had a simple breakfast, and with a little exhaustion and excitement, they set off on a treasure hunting trip on the yacht.

Before setting off, Luke rechecked his weapons. This time Luke brought three guns, two Glock pistols, a Beretta NANO and a modified version of the Benelli M4 shotgun.

The Beretta NANO is Luke's backup gun. It is small in size and has an eight-round magazine. Many agents like to use this gun.

Because he had already taken a shower and slept last night, Luke did not carry a spare gun with him.

After returning the bespectacled girl's pistol, Luke equipped the spare pistol. As for the Glock pistol, it was temporarily unusable because the barrel was damaged.

A shotgun, a pistol, and plenty of ammunition are enough for this treasure hunt.

Luke sat on the deck chair, drinking coffee and admiring the beautiful scenery of the sea.

The beautiful scenery Luke saw was not the endless ocean, but the endless islands of different shapes surrounding it.

There are thousands of islands in the surrounding seas. They are only as small as a football field and cannot be inhabited without fresh water resources. However, for those who like adventure, this does not hinder their enthusiasm for exploration.

Lilith stood on the front deck of the yacht, holding the brown map in her hand, her blue eyes scanning the sea from time to time. Elsa Marin also stood beside her, pointing into the distance from time to time,

Whispering something.

Luke felt that this method of treasure hunting was quite good. He was only responsible for the security work and didn't need to think too much. He usually just sat on the yacht, blew the sea breeze, drank beer and sunbathed.

Vacation is nothing more than that.

after an hour.

The yacht slowly stopped.

Luke yawned, stood up, walked to the front of the yacht, and asked Lilith, "Why did the yacht stop?"

Lilith pointed to the island not far ahead, "The island on the right front is very similar to the treasure island depicted on the map. We need to explore it."

Luke asked, "Is the yacht going to dock?"

Without waiting for Lilith to answer, Elsa Marin walked out of the cab and said, "You can't dock. The water around the island is shallow and there may be reefs. Once you get close, you may hit the rocks. Then you will be in trouble."

The girl with glasses came out with a drone, "Why do we need to land on the island? It's enough."

The girl with glasses skillfully controls the drone to take off. The drone has a high-definition camera and can directly see the scene below the drone on the screen.

The drone flew above the island. Luke, Lilith and others looked at the panoramic view of the island through the monitor. The island was not large, only the size of an airport. The drone flew to a certain height and could see the entire island.

shape and terrain distribution.

Lilith observed it carefully for a while and said, "Take back the drone, it shouldn't be this island."

Luke asked, "Are you sure?"

"Yes." Lilith said firmly.

Luke didn't answer and went back to the lounge chair to bask in the sun.

Luke looked at the yellow map in Lilith's hand. It only roughly marked the scope of the treasure hunt. At best, he could tell it was the U.S. Virgin Islands, but he certainly couldn't pinpoint which island it was.

However, Lilith can accurately determine whether it is an island where treasure is hidden through the high-altitude bird's-eye view of the island, indicating that in addition to the known treasure map, there should be other clues.

Since Lilith hid it, regardless of whether it was out of distrust or other reasons, when the information was unequal, he felt there was no need to waste his thoughts.

Even if he couldn't find the treasure, he still wouldn't lose a commission of 400,000 yuan.

The real loser was Lilith, who had to pay not only the employment fees of the three people, but also the cost of renting the yacht and travel expenses.

She's not in a hurry, why should Luke be in a hurry?

The yacht sailed for a whole day, and Lilith discovered more than a dozen islands that were suspected to be treasure hiding places, but after a drone survey, she rejected them all.

At this time, it was already more than a hundred nautical miles away from St. Thomas. At night, the yacht did not return to the dock on St. Thomas, but docked in a natural harbor with deeper water.

Luke and others had a dinner on the deck. The table was filled with fresh seafood, vegetables, and fruits, which was very healthy.

Lilith held the tablet in her hand, looking through today's itinerary and the aerial video screenshots of the suspected treasure island, and frowned slightly, "What do you think of tomorrow's treasure hunt plan?"

Elsa Marin said, "We traveled for ten hours today, nearly two hundred nautical miles, and covered almost half of the area marked on the treasure map.

I feel that our trip today is not slow, but we were in a hurry when exploring the islands. Except for the two islands where natural piers were discovered, we did not land on the other islands. We only explored them through high-altitude drones. It is very likely that we will go there.

Some clues were left behind, and the real treasure island was even missed.”

The girl with glasses said, "I don't think this is a problem. The vegetation on the island is lush, and even if you land on the island, you can only see a limited area, which is far less efficient than the high-altitude bird's-eye view of a drone. Moreover, the videos taken of the island have already been

It’s saved and can be taken out for study at any time.”

Elsa Marin said, "Drones are indeed very convenient, but they cannot completely replace people. Landing on the island is still the most reliable way to explore.

The problem we have now with treasure hunting is not that it’s too slow, it’s that it’s too fast.”

The girl with glasses shrugged, "Technology exists to improve human work efficiency.

If we had to explore every island, our trip today would take ten days or even half a month to complete.

And I just asked for a week's leave from school."

Elsa Marin said, "The most important thing in treasure hunting is patience. It is better to be careful than to miss the treasure..."

Luke was not very interested in the dispute between the two people. He felt that neither of them got to the point, so he got up and left after eating.

He was a little sleepy after staying up all night last night. He had to go to bed early today.

"Dongdong..."

As soon as Luke returned to the room, the door rang.

Luke yawned, "Come in."

"Creak..." With a sound, the door opened.

Lilith walked into the room, holding a bottle of red wine in her hand, "Would you like a drink before going to bed?"

Luke took the glass and asked, "What do you want from me?"

"I want to talk to you." Lilith held the wine glass and clinked it with Luke.

"cheers!"

Luke took a sip and tasted the taste, "The wine is good."

Lilith sat on the chair and said, "You have successful experience in treasure hunting. I want to hear your thoughts?"

Luke asked, "Do you have any other clues about the treasure?"

Lilith hesitated for a moment, "Yes."

"You have concealed some key clues to the treasure. In the absence of clues, it is difficult for me to give you correct advice."

Lilith also sensed the dissatisfaction in Luke's tone and hurriedly explained, "It's not that I'm hiding anything, I just don't need to show it when I'm in Los Angeles.

I thought about the U.S. Virgin Islands before telling you.

Who would have thought that another gangster boarded the yacht last night, which made me a little panicked, so I delayed the matter."

Lilith stood up and said, "Come with me, I'll show you something."

Luke held the red wine glass and followed Lilith into her bedroom.

Lilith opened the closet and took out two pieces of yellow leather from the closet safe. One of them was a map of the U.S. Virgin Islands that Luke had seen, marking the approximate range of the treasure hunting islands.

Lilith handed another piece of yellow leather to Luke.

This is also a topographic map. The difference is that this map is more accurate. Only one island is drawn on it. The shape of the island is somewhat similar to a turtle, and the various areas of the island, vegetation, water, etc. are marked on it.

"You relied on this map to determine that the islands explored by drones were not treasure islands?"

"Yes, these two maps are together, one marks the area where the island is located, and the other marks the topography of the island.

Now, I tell you everything about the treasure.

I only told you." Lilith blinked her big aqua eyes and asked sincerely, "Can you give me some advice?"

Luke did not answer immediately. He carefully checked the two treasure hunting maps and said slowly, "What do you think?"

"According to my previous plan, the treasure island should be within the range of our driving today. It stands to reason that if there is a topographic map of the island, we should be able to find it." Lilith sighed softly, "I am also a little confused now. I don't know.

Where is the mistake.

I need your help."

Luke took a sip of red wine and said, "Actually, what the glasses girl and Elsa Marin said are right.
