Meng En Warehousing Center.

Two days later, Luke came here for the third time.

Boret trotted out to greet him, even more attentive than when he saw his own boss.

Luke came three times and there were two incidents at the storage center.

If something goes wrong again, the warehouse center will still be able to do business.

"Officer Luke, do you have any mission today?"

"I told you, I'm just here to participate in the warehouse auction."

Boret murmured in his heart, you said the same thing last time, what was the result?

Thompson, the guy who talked about being a tough guy all day long, was so angry that he cried. I heard he almost went to the hospital.

If I continue to correct this, no one will dare to buy a warehouse from me in the future.

"Officer Luke, if you really have any mission, just tell me and I will do my best to cooperate."

"Relax, we are just like the treasure hunters here, we are here to make a fortune."

Boret is still worried, but what can he do?

Kick Luke away?

He can't afford to offend.

lapd is not a person, but an organization.

"Bolet, you don't have to be so polite. Just go there by yourself. This is not the first time I've been here and I know the rules of the auction."

"See you later." Boret left. He wanted to organize the auction as soon as possible to avoid anything happening again.

Ten minutes later, the auction house officially started.

Borrett was still the host of the auction and opened the door of warehouse 236, "OK, we are all old friends, I will keep the story short.

You can only stand at the door, you can't poke your head in, you can't use tools, and you can't enter the warehouse.

The auction will start in one minute, and the highest bidder will win.”

There were quite a few people standing around the warehouse. The last time Luke tried to get closer to the front row, he struggled to squeeze in.

This time it was different, the people around me consciously moved out of the way.

Luke looked around, most of them were familiar faces.

He stood at the door and looked at it for a while, and all he could see was debris. To be honest, he couldn't see why.

Before coming, he also watched several videos of treasure hunts in warehouses and learned some common sense.

Warehouses with safes will be given priority.

The key to the things in the warehouse is not whether they are old or new, but the quality, which represents the wealth and status of the owner of the warehouse.

Don't underestimate the weird collectibles, you can definitely make a fortune by finding the right buyer.

…

These thoughts went through his mind, and a minute was almost up. He neither saw the safe nor could he tell the grade of these old furniture.

After all, I am still just a rookie, stuck in the theoretical stage.

"The time is up, let's start bidding. The starting price for warehouse 236 is US$100."

A fat white guy whose waistline probably exceeds his height yells, "$150."

"$150 a time, is there anyone with a higher bid?"

Luke waved, "$200."

"If you have a discerning eye, this warehouse is really good and worth looking forward to. Does anyone want to increase the price?"

Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, but no one answered.

"$200 once, $200 twice, $200 three times, Mr. Luke, congratulations, this warehouse will be yours within 24 hours."

"Wait a minute." Luke felt something was wrong. This warehouse shouldn't be that bad. Is it just me?

"Why don't you bid? I'm here today as a private person, not as a police officer.

Like you, I am here to get rich.

Borrett, I think you should bid again."

Borrett followed suit, "It's $200 a time. Is there anyone who wants to bid?"

The fat white man hesitated for a while and then called the price again, "$300."

Luke continued to bid, "$350."

"350 US dollars once, 350 US dollars twice, 350 US dollars three times. Is there anyone who wants to bid?" Boret glanced at everyone and said decisively, "Mr. Luke, congratulations, this warehouse belongs to you."

"Thank you." Luke felt that the price was quite reasonable, at least someone had asked for it.

Boret greeted, "OK, don't disturb Mr. Luke from organizing the warehouse. Let's go to the next warehouse."

"Wow..." Everyone dispersed in a hurry.

As they walked, they talked about something.

It was as if they were discussing strategies for the next auction.

Luke is standing there alone, you will regret it.

He put on gloves and a mask and started working.

The first step is to move everything out and find out what is valuable.

Most of them were old furniture, sofas, desk lamps, toolboxes, fishing rods, old TV sets, radios, etc. Luke felt that these things were no more than a few years younger than him.

These things may have some value in the flea market, but they are worthless to him.

After emptying out the things in the warehouse, he found a black leather travel bag in the corner of the warehouse. It looked very high-quality and was heavy to hold.

The zipper was stuck on a small buckle, which had rusted because it had been left there for too long. Luke took out the pliers from the tool box and cut off the buckle. The copper zipper was still usable.

After opening it, you will see green banknotes.

Luke roughly counted and found that there were seven wads of banknotes in total. Each wad was about ten thousand US dollars, for a total of seventy thousand US dollars.

He was mentally prepared, but he still couldn't hide the joy in his heart, "Fuck! I'm a rich man now!"

Luke rented a truck, took all the items to the second-hand market, and packaged and sold them for $1,000. The warehouse brought him a total income of $71,000, while the auction for the warehouse only cost him $350.

This is much more cost-effective than buying scratch tickets.

…

With the money, Luke immediately paid off the car loan, with a total principal + interest of US$4,500.

After paying off the car loan, I feel like a shackle has been removed from my head, and I feel a lot more relaxed.

Afterwards, David was given another thousand dollars.

David was preparing money to bail Lindsay out. Luke wanted to lend him $10,000, but David refused.

It's almost the beginning of April, and David's salary is about to be paid. As well as the bonus from the oil painting, David can also share part of it.

Even though the amount might not be much, he could still collect enough bail money, but he didn't want to borrow money from his colleagues for this reason.

There will be a burden.

Luke made a major contribution in the 'Disappearance of Tyerson Manor' case, so the bonus will definitely account for a large part of it.

But we are a team and cannot live alone.

After paying off the money, Luke still has about 65,000 US dollars left, and the oil painting bonus is about to be distributed. He now has a lot of money at his disposal, and it is time to improve his life.

He plans to rent a house, and living at his mother's house or Daisy's house is not a long-term solution.

A man should always have a nest of his own.

Many years ago, he once dreamed of having a large villa of his own and an independent cinema where he could watch movies at home at any time.

There is a green lawn in the yard, and occasionally friends are invited over to have a small barbecue.

It would be even better if there was a swimming pool in the yard.

I just thought before, now that Luke has money, he can turn his dream into reality.

"Buzz..."

His cell phone vibrated, interrupting his fantasy.

The text message sent by my mother Linda only said, "Family gathering at five o'clock in the afternoon, you know the location.

do not be late!"

Luke didn't want to go, but he had to go.

In China, people always say that the American family concept is not strong. When I arrived in Los Angeles, I discovered that the locals also pay attention to family, but it is a little different from that in China.

On Saturdays and Sundays, parents take their children out to play.

Many families gather together on Sunday to have a barbecue, drink some wine, and brag and chat.

In his previous life, Luke had very little contact with his relatives. The only serious gatherings were during the Chinese New Year, and he spent the rest of the time busy with his own business.
