Chapter 36 Constantine's "Treasure"
A pair of small hands took down a thick tome "Neurosurgery" from a high place, and then drew a standard parabola and dropped it on the table. There was a muffled sound, and the dust that had been accumulated for a long time suddenly rose up in the room.
"Ahem! Laura, don't treat grandpa's book so roughly. There are also manuscripts from the last century in it. He will be unhappy if you break it." Lisa covered her nose with her hands. She said while holding several pamphlets in her other hand.
"Bah~bah~, come one book at a time. We have to work at least until tomorrow morning. By the time we turn the house over completely, it will probably be your 18th birthday." He was standing on the ladder. Laura complained as she lowered the book from the height.
The two sisters are clearing the bookshelves in Constantine’s study, checking each location for any suspicious items
On the way, He Chi and Lisa analyzed that there might be something in the house that someone wanted to search for, so they started a "treasure hunt" activity. The plan was to search through all the places in the villa where things could be stored to confirm. .
This is a big project. The entire villa is almost 800 square meters, not counting the yard outside. If the "treasure" Constantine left at home is just a small thing, then there are really many places to hide it. Too many.
"Hey, Lisa, if it's a treasure, what do you want it to be?" Laura asked from a high place.
“It’s best to have something to do with money, gold, diamonds, and other jewelry are all fine.” Lisa responded, doing a detailed search below.
"So straightforward? I thought you would have some more imaginative requests, but I didn't expect to talk about money directly." Laura curled her lips.
"This is not straightforward, but pragmatic. If the hidden things are gems, then it will be the least troublesome thing for us." He Chi walked into the room, took the thing from Lisa's hand and put it on Set aside.
“Why?” Laura turned to look at He Chi.
“If it’s jewelry and gold, it doesn’t matter even if the quantity is as large as the Federal Reserve warehouse. Because the other party’s purpose is to make money at most. Once you transfer the property to a safe place, such as a bank vault, the other party will There is no point in coming to find trouble," He Chi spread his hands and explained to Laura.
"And if it is other things, it will be very troublesome." Lisa added next to her. "Once it involves any hidden information, such as important technical information, God knows what the other party will do in order to keep it confidential. What.”
Throughout the day, several people found nothing.
At night, He Chi got up from his bed, came to the living room alone, opened his palm and took out the last copper coin.
A burst of light flashed, the copper coin disappeared in He Chi's palm, and a 3D tactical map of the villa appeared again in his right eye.
Napoleon, who had been adopted, lay on the blanket and looked up at him, yawned, flicked his tail and went back to sleep.
He Chi did not bother to look for the so-called treasure during the day, because he had his own better way.
Through the three-dimensional view that can be seen through, He Chi looked for suspicious places one by one, and finally made a discovery in a corner of the kitchen.
Opening a hidden cabinet door, a rancid smell rushed into He Chi's nose, forcing him to temporarily hold his breath.
There was no corpse inside, but a round cheese jar.
The freshly made cheese itself has a slight fishy smell. In many places in Europe, it is customary to ferment it twice to produce mycelium before eating it. However, a few people have a special "heavy taste" Willing to eat "stinky cheese" that has been fermented for many years
This thing has the same feeling as the domestic stinky tofu, both of which have a great impact on the human sense of smell. It is very niche abroad and few people Acceptable.
Coincidentally, Constantine is one of them. He Chi saw the green moldy strings inside, which felt like leftovers left out for a week outdoors in the summer. He resisted his nausea and put his hand in. He touched something hard under the sticky touch.
He Chi rotated gently, click!
A hollow space was exposed at the bottom of the jar, and He Chi pulled out something wrapped in oilcloth.
"Huh~, if I didn't have 3D vision, I definitely wouldn't reach in here to find something." He Chi muttered, then picked up the oilcloth bag in his hand and opened it carefully.
A thread-bound book, very substantial, similar to a large booklet used to look up phone numbers.
The first page is a table of contents, sorted by the first word of ABCD.
He Chi opened it at random, and the information on it was Clavier Diallo. The name was somewhat familiar. After careful consideration, he thought that this person was the local police chief.
The following is the shocking information, a full page of dark materials about his bribery and private transactions with gangs. It not only has a clear time and place, but also lists the participants and indirect evidence.
Look further down, Dorothea Enders, as He Chi also knows, is a new Hollywood actress who has participated in several blockbuster movies with a box office of hundreds of millions. What follows is a long list of people who have had sex with him, ranging from directors to wealthy businessmen.
Nix Bourque, politician, state legislator, behind him is a lot of political dirt.
The more He Chi read, the more frightened he became. According to the list listed in this directory, the number of people who have been caught has exceeded 300. These people are almost all the upper class in the United States. Once this information flows into society, it will bring The impact is estimated to be equivalent to detonating a nuclear bomb in San Diego.
Recalling the suspicious attitude of the insurance company, He Chi searched down according to the directory, and sure enough, he quickly discovered Steve Kaufman. This man had more dirty information and joined forces with local gangs to persecute them in the traditional way. Insurance beneficiaries pocketed large sums of money that should have been paid to policyholders, and some even committed suicide because of long-term threats.
“No wonder, they can directly pay 4 million for this. If I don’t get that bald thing, I might not be able to sleep at night.”
He Chi remembers Constantine saying However, he and the local police have maintained a tacit agreement not to interfere with each other, and the secret of compromising the beautiful police officer who empties his magazine whenever he disagrees is probably this.
As long as there is no complete confidence in destroying it, the relevant personnel in the book will be wary of the "doctor".
However, the disappearance of Constantine has broken this delicate balance, and some people above may take risks.
"I seem to be involved in something terrible." He Chi looked at the things in his hands and didn't know what to do with them.
There is no doubt that I have participated in it. At this time, I told the other party that I was just passing by, and I guess those people would not let him go.
Just as He Chi was thinking about how to respond, the phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated and a message popped up.
“Come out, the lawyer wants to see you.”
The sender was Rosa Sandra, and the note was a neighbor.
