Los Angeles Legendary Sleuth

Chapter 495: You Are My Hero


[Ding-dong…

Congratulations to the host for successfully solving the golden kidnapping case and earning 100 points;

The host assisted the FBI in solving the real estate tycoon's son kidnapping case, earning 60 points;

During the investigation, the host helped the FBI capture the mole, earning an unknown Function Card. Would you like to redeem it?]

Getting a new card was quite a pleasant surprise, and Luke clicked to redeem it immediately.

He earned 160 points from solving this case, adding to the previously stored 50 points, making a total of 210 points.

Deduct 100 points to redeem the new card, leaving 110 points in the system.

New card category: Learning Card

Name: Bed Skill Card

Function: Quickly learn and comprehend bed skill techniques, enhancing control over the PC muscle group.

Luke "..."

Do I need this?

Alright, it's like money, you can never have too much.

It takes thirty points to redeem a card, so Luke directly exchanged for three new cards, leaving twenty points.

He previously used up a Detection Card and an Identification Card in Hawaii, but due to the new card redemption, the point reserve is insufficient and can only be replenished next time.

In the afternoon, Luke had something to attend to and left work early.

The treasures he and Walker found at Red Rock Canyon were all sent to Kerry's Auction House for auction.

They held an auction this morning, and Luke received a message that the gold ornaments had been sold and he needed to go to the auction house to confirm the specific commission amount and sign the auction confirmation so the proceeds could be transferred to the designated account.

Quaivas Law Firm.

Luke parked his Mercedes on the side of the road and glanced at his watch; it was five in the afternoon.

He had an appointment with the auction house at five forty and planned to bring Daisy along.

Whenever it involves large transactions and signatures, it's safer to have a lawyer present.

A few minutes later, a tall, curvaceous brunette beauty walked out of the office building.

Luke got out of the car to greet Daisy.

Beside Daisy stood a man in a black suit, very handsome with a bit of a mixed-race appearance, though he looked somewhat thin.

Before Luke and Daisy greeted each other, the man in the black suit walked over quickly, a surprised expression on his face, "Wow, Captain Li, why are you here? Is there a big case happening here?

You look even more dashing than on TV, and you match the car behind you, super manly."

Luke squeezed out a smile, "Thank you, I'm waiting for my lawyer. By the way, have we met before?"

"No No No, this is the first time we're meeting, but I often see news about you and those big explosive cases…

I'm looking forward to the opportunity to work with you." The man in the suit took out a business card, "My name is Jimmy, I'm also a lawyer. Let's have a drink sometime, I know a great bar."

Luke pointed to Daisy beside him and said, "You'll have to ask my lawyer if she agrees."

The man in the suit looked at Daisy, incredulous, "Oh my God, Captain Li is your client, why haven't you mentioned before?"

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

The man known as Jimmy winked, "Have fun."

Luke started the car and glanced at the rearview mirror at Jimmy still waving, "That guy seems a bit weird, is he trying to steal your client?"

"No, I think he just wants to invite you to a bar."

"What kind of bar?"

"A Finnish Tom kind."

"That damn pervert, he'd better not fall into my hands." Luke showed a look of disgust.

Daisy laughed, "Actually, he's pretty nice, and some clients trust him quite a bit."

"Let's not talk about that disgusting guy anymore." Luke waved his hand and changed the topic, "What do you want to eat tonight?"

"You decide."

"OK."

At five thirty, the two of them drove to Kerry's Auction House.

The person greeting Luke was a white man named Steve Renault.

"Mr. Li, it's nice to see you again.

And congratulations on your item fetching a high price at auction."

"Thank you, Manager Renault." Luke was also a bit eager; he had only received information that the auction was successful and wasn't sure of the exact auction amount.

Of course, the auction price must be higher than the reserve price; otherwise, it would have been unsold.

"We've prepared the finest black tea in the lounge; I'll have someone take you there first.

I'll bring the documents to you shortly."

"OK, see you in a bit."

Steve Renault instructed a nearby maid to lead Luke and Daisy to the lounge.

On the way, Luke observed that the auction house offices were quite private, with solid walls instead of the usual glass partitioned offices seen in most office buildings.

Luke entered the lounge and took a few sips of tea, and soon the door was pushed open with Steve Renault walking in with a folder.

As he opened the folder, Steve Renault said, "Mr. Li, that batch of gold ornaments was auctioned off in the morning after five rounds of bidding, finally selling for 1.1 million US Dollars.

After deducting a 5% commission, the auction house needs to pay you 1.045 million US Dollars." Steve Renault handed over a document to Luke, "This is the auction confirmation letter; if there are no issues, please sign it, and we'll transfer the auction proceeds to the designated account."

Luke reviewed it himself first; this auction price was higher than he expected, and he and Walker would each get 522,500 US Dollars.
