nightcrawler in los angeles

Chapter 115
Light counterweight diving equipment allows people to quickly dive to a position below the water surface of 3 meters, but relatively speaking, the oxygen tubes that this equipment can carry are available for a short time.

Only about 5 minutes!

Leo, who was hanging down the willow tree by the river, soon discovered the cave that Edmond had shown him. The quality of the sedimentation water that had been deposited for several days under the reservoir river was not very turbid.

Leo could still vaguely see the vegetation near the entrance of the cave and the bird's nest on the cliff.

A bunch of bubbles popped out of Leo's mouth, because Edmund really didn't lie to him, but the entrance of the cave was not very big. Deep iron box.

The opening of the hole is only a circle larger than the iron box, and Leo wanted to avoid Edmund's cunning old fellow from plotting against him.

He deliberately swam around the hole and the box. Edmund seemed to have already figured out how to drag the box to the shore. A solid iron ring was welded on all sides of the box.

Leo unhooked the crane he brought down from the shore and ticked it up, and pressed the remote control in his hand~
The iron chain that was brought to the bottom of the river by Leo was stretched instantly, and after the box was dragged by the crane, the hole was instantly filled with muddy mud.

Edmund Rapp, who fell under the water surface of the reservoir, groped for the iron cable stretched by the crane and slowly climbed in. Because one of his legs was injured, when he fell into the river, he fell into the water immediately. Grab the chain.

As for why the willow tree broke, Edmond, who didn't have an oxygen tank, couldn't care less about it. He just wanted to let the culprit, Leo, die at the bottom of the river!

The iron chain stretched straight at the bottom of the river caused traces of blood to seep from Edmond's hand, which was holding the iron chain tightly, and volatilized in the water.

After all, it was at the bottom of the river, and the area of ​​the cave was not large. The abnormal movement of the water quickly attracted Leo's attention. Edmund!
Leo swung his arms quickly trying to distance himself from Edmund. Edmond, who was blushing, threw the stone out of his hand after being choked on water.

It's just that this time it didn't hit the oxygen tank on Leo's back, but hit Leo Vantaa's arm firmly.

A trace of disappointment flashed in Edmond's eyes, whose face was already a little purple. Edmond, who was not very far from the entrance of the cave, turned around and climbed towards the water surface along the chain that was constantly moving upwards.

But Edmond Rapp's movements froze, and Leo Vantaa behind him didn't want Edmond to leave here safely. Edmond's broken leg was held tightly by Leo.

Edmund looked eager to break free from Leo's restraints, but Leo couldn't let him do so. Leo pulled out a white plastic cable tie from his diving suit and tied Edmund Rapp's left leg Tie tightly in the gap of the iron chain.

Edmond, who was close to hypoxia, took another sip of the river water, and the bubbles in his mouth kept spitting out.

When Leo Vanta saw the situation, he ignored him and went up the river. When Leo Vanta swam to the shore, he saw that the willow tree had disappeared and only a tree root remained. He imagined everything that happened to Edmond on the shore just now.

Then the kayak, which had already begun to run out of air, slowly landed on the shore. Before taking off his diving suit, Leo Vanta collapsed on the shore, breathing in the fresh air around him.

"what!!!"

As soon as Leo took off the mask on his face and was about to get up, he found a black shadow covering him!

"Tsk, I don't know if Professor Edmond died at the hands of a senior agent like you, will you be delisted by the CIA and the FBI?" Tao Xi flipped through the [Land Certificate] that Leo Vanta left on the shore. ] and Leo’s [information] said gloatingly.

Just as Leo Vantaa wanted to turn his head to see who it was, Klein aimed the cold gun in his hand at the back of Leo's head!
"I advise you not to look back. If you don't see me, maybe you can still live. If you see me, I'm afraid this natural reservoir that has just completed the task of storing water will lose another life!"

Tao Xi took all of Leo Vanta's documents with a camera and took pictures of all these materials one by one.

The sound of the camera "clicking" and "clicking" hinted that Leo's opponent this time was not easy to deal with: "What do you want?"

"Gems? Money? Land certificates? It's all mine! What do you have?"

When Leo heard Tao Xi's words, all the capital he wanted to negotiate with Tao Xi was known by the other party. Just when Leo wanted to say something, his eyes went dark instantly.

Tao Xi used a rope and a piece of cloth to subdue the senior detective Leo Vanta. I'm afraid that Edmond Rapp would jump out of the reservoir excitedly if he found out.

Klein dragged Leo Vanta to a place 4 meters away from the shore, squeezed his throat and said to Leo, "You just squat here honestly, for the sake of you, you can only see it in movies." After the spy was tied up, he not only dragged you to a place 4 meters away from the river, but also thoughtfully cleaned the place where you sat."

"Oh! If I want to run, you can't tie me up!"

Klein, who was originally complacent, changed his face instantly when he heard Leo's provocative words. After walking around Leo several times, Klein smashed Leo on the back of the head with the butt of his gun.

Seeing this scene, Tao Xi was stunned for an instant: "What are you doing! Why knock him out?"

"It's not that you said he was a spy, so we should treat it with caution? I think the only way to reassure me is to knock him unconscious! Don't there often be some spies' dying blows in movies?"

When Tao Xi heard Klein's words, it made sense, but he tilted his head helplessly to express his agreement.

The sound of the crane's "whoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo" the river below the broken willow tree became more and more turbid. With a happy face, he waited for the box of gems worth 3600 million US dollars to land.

"How cool!"

"No wonder so many people love to rob banks. It turns out that it feels so good to earn windfall money!"

When the iron box was dragged to the shore, it was already dark. Seeing the scene where the iron box kept seeping water, Klein suddenly thought of Leo Vantaa, who was knocked unconscious by him.

"Do you want me to give him another shot? What if he pretends to be dizzy?"

"Hiss~ It makes sense, it's about to succeed, it doesn't make sense to fall here again, let him give it a shot, who knows what tricks he has to trick us again."

During this conversation between Klein and Tao Xi, he didn't intend to lower his voice. It happened that Leo, who had just woken up for a while, hadn't done anything yet, and he felt another sharp pain in his neck.

Klein heard Leo's muffled groan and muttered in a low voice: "You really pretend to be dizzy! Nothing in Hollywood is a lie!"

Chapter 110 Six: Reissue
Is aquamarine beautiful?
That is so beautiful!Tao Xi took the four largest aquamarines picked out of the box and placed them under the sun to look shining. The refracted light made the entire interior of the private jet sparkle everywhere.

Little Dalton saw Tao Xi holding the four unsold aquamarines and said, "If you can sell these four gems, they will definitely sell for 100 million US dollars. I don't know what you think of!"

"I'll give you all your share, why do you care what I do with this!"

Instead, Marco looked excitedly at the luxurious decoration inside the private jet. The private jet provided by Robert Adams was not very big, with only six seats and two seats for the stewardess.

The interior of the entire aircraft looks very spacious, with a separate toilet, a satellite phone, a simple kitchen and bathroom, and the other four seats are equipped with a TV.

Marco looked around for a while, and sat next to two very iconic stewardesses, chatting some nasty words.

On the contrary, Tao Xi looked at the four aquamarines the size of pigeon eggs in his hand with a look of intoxication. Little Dalton saw that Tao Xi had immersed himself in it and ignored him, but Little Dalton took out a thick stack of them from the file bag. The case case looked up.

"Hey! I still lost money this time! Although I made $1400 million, I lost two clients from Denver County!"

"The University of Colorado is my best client. Who would have thought that I would drag you in this time, and you would also get the University of Colorado involved."

At this time, little Dalton was like a shrewd businessman flipping through the ledger in his hand from time to time, always muttering incessantly.

When Tao Xi heard Dalton's nagging voice, he laughed and scolded him impatiently: "You picked up 1200 million US dollars for nothing this time. What did you say?"

When Dalton Jr. heard this sentence, he was also unconvinced and said: "If I hadn't established a good relationship with the county police and state police in Denver County, the body found in the Rio Grande alone would be enough to make you Have a drink!"

As soon as Taoxi heard that Dalton Jr. said this, he immediately died down. Edmund Rapp's body appeared on the Rio Grande in the suburbs of Denver County on time three days later.

The Denver County Police, who had already held a press conference, immediately felt the continuous malice!

Fortunately, Edmond Rapp's face has been soaked, and the Denver County police have no plans to release the DNA of the corpse to the public and the University of Colorado.

Coupled with the fact that the departments and matters involved in this case are too complicated, this matter will disappear after the press conference.

Tao Xi entrusted Raven, a black market dealer far away in San Francisco, to help him deal with this batch of aquamarines. Raven was very efficient. In less than three hours, a dilapidated pickup truck without a brand Just pull this batch of gems away!

The only drawback of dealing with black market dealers is that the aquamarines were sold at a discount of 200 million US dollars, but Tao Xi and Dalton Jr. were very relieved of this money.

Because the money is after-tax income, Tao Xi took a special look at the tax payment when he received the check. It is [medicine value-added tax]. Xi didn't say a word.

Little Dalton just muttered: "I knew that none of the people you know is a good thing! I advise you to invest this money in a movie when you go back, and then use it to build your fancy hydroelectric power generation." stand!"

"Cut! Do I need you to say? I don't know better than you?"

The parallel plane of the private jet was very stable, and Tao Xi quickly fell asleep holding his full harvest. This time, Tao Xi not only received 500 million compensation from Adams Jr., but Dalton Jr. One million US dollars was given away and handed over to Tao Xi. As for the 100 million gems sold, Tao Xi also received 3100 million US dollars.

All in all, the pot is full, and everyone returns with a full reward! ——
Akesha walked out of his father's ward with a tired face, holding the dirty water that had just wiped his father's body in his hands, the nurses passing by seemed to be very familiar with Akesha, everyone He smiled at Akesha, a filial child.

"Aksha, after your father's operation, as long as you pay attention to your diet, there will be no problem."

"Thank you, Nina, the operation last time was really troublesome for you." After saying this, Aksha said respectfully to the head nurse who came out from behind him.

The head nurse just smiled and waved her hand before leaving the ward. After Akesha poured the water into the nearby water room, he returned to the ward and took a look at his father who was still sleeping. Looked at the book came out his book.

Time passed quickly, and after a while, a woman who looked very old and looked very haggard came in with a fast food box. Seeing this, Aksha hurriedly put down the book in his hand and went up to her: "Mom! Didn't I tell you to rest at home? I've already hired a nurse for my father, and she will come to work on time tomorrow. "

Aksha's mother patted Aksha's head with relief when she heard his son's words: "It's really hard for you! But you must work hard to find a good job. I saved up that sum of money for you, mom doesn't need you to buy a house, and when your father recovers from his illness, we will move back to the ancestral house at the foot of Mount Antero to retire!"

"Mom~"

"Okay, okay, since you decided not to take the doctoral exam, you should go home and rest, and don't go digging gems on Antero Mountain again, that kind of money is not easy to earn, so don't have it." The idea of ​​getting rich overnight!"

Akesha didn't say anything when he heard his mother's words, but nodded honestly.

On the way out of the hospital, the scene of Tao Xi's parting from him flashed in Aksha's mind. Gave him $1000 to go home.

For Tao Xi, Aksha is very grateful. If there is no Tao Xi, maybe he will become a dead soul on the way up the mountain on the first day.

Just following Tao Xi's ass and wandering on Antero Mountain for a few days, Aksha received nearly 24 US dollars in compensation, which was like a dream.

The law and order in Denver County at night is not like that of Miami. A lot of Cuban criminals poured in overnight. In addition, the lighting project on the main street in Denver County is doing well. Aksha didn’t meet any dogs along the way. blood thing.

But the accident happened when Aksha entered the house, and the lights were turned on in the empty house!

There was a brand new truck parked at the door, which was full of furniture and home appliances. The first thing Akesha thought of when he saw this scene was to call the police!

But the phone is in the room, Aksha needs to sneak into the room first~
During the few days when he followed Tao Xi in Antero Mountain, Akesha also got full growth. In the past, he would definitely run away immediately, but this time he didn't, Akesha picked it up from behind the door. A baseball bat tiptoed towards the inside of the house.

The voices of two men talking could be heard from inside the room, and Aksha's nervous heart twitched when he heard the voices.

"Klein, are you sure it's really okay for us to come in directly?"

"Rosell, you were the one who opened the door of Akesha's house first. If you hadn't opened the door, I definitely wouldn't have come in!" Klein held a can of beer in his hand and looked at the picture on the TV with great enjoyment. .

Instead, Roselle kept flipping through the list in his hand and making records for every piece of furniture in the house.

"Remember, after completing the tasks that Tao Xi entrusted us, you have to marry my sister first. If you don't follow my instructions, I will definitely not take you to Los Angeles!"

Russell couldn't help rolling his eyes when he heard Klein's words: "You are really a qualified brother, but don't forget that Tao Xi asked me to help Akesha build that hydroelectric power station, you Think I went to L.A. to learn how to make hot dogs like you?"

Klein blushed a little when he heard the words "make hot dogs", but what Tao Xi said to him before he left didn't seem to be a request, but more like an order.

Annoyed for a while, Klein didn't notice Akesha who was standing at the door of the room with a baseball bat in his hand and looked stunned, but Roselle said excitedly after seeing Akesha come in: "Wow, look, we Mr. Aksha, the chief engineer of the Sunshine Industrial Hydropower Station, has gone home. Hurry up and tell me what furniture you don’t want in your house. Tao Xi asked me to order a lot of new furniture for you. Make it a moving gift!"

"Ah~"

"I!"

"Sunshine Industry? Chief Engineer?"

"Eh, no, I."

Seeing Akesha's bewildered face, Roselle immediately put his arms around him, glanced at the new furniture and appliances on the van outside the door, and enthusiastically explained: "This is what Tao Xi gave when he returned to Los Angeles. The furniture you ordered."

Then Russell took a suit and a business card from the co-pilot of the truck and handed them over: "This is the contact information of the person in charge of the [Adams International Energy] Engineering Department, after Tao Xi asked you to sort out your affairs Just go and transform that natural reservoir into a hydroelectric power station, and Tao Xi will take care of the money for you!"

"I" Akesha pointed to himself and then to the furniture with an expression of disbelief.

Roselle didn't pay attention to Akesha's actions at all, but pointed at himself to Akesha and said: "And I am the person Mr. Tao Xi arranged to supervise you by your side, I hope you can take care of me wherever you go in the future." superior!"
