Chapter 17: I Don't Love Money

Angeline sent Lu Ran back to the Double Happiness Building, driving the old but still reliable old Land Rover in the department.

Lu Ran, who was sitting in the co-pilot, watched in surprise as she flew hand and foot together, skillfully directing the iron horse under her to rampage on several crowded arterial roads.

On Angeline's face, there were two big characters written on Lu Ran that Lu Ran had never understood and never had, that is, excitement.

After talking to Lu Ran, she immediately made a plan to send Lu Ran back first, and then she rushed to the next target - the Blind Dragon Hotel.

In her words, the crime scene often leaves the most clues.

"This matter has nothing to do with you in the first place, why are you ...... Persistent? Lu Ran originally wanted to say

"So energetic", and felt that there seemed to be sarcasm in his words, so he changed his words.

"Gun Harbor is the world's most densely populated, fastest-paced life, the most efficient and busy place, such a place, everyone loves money, like what we just said, the people of country A, the real detectives, the four families, the four secret doors, open and secret fighting, dogs and flies, the organs are exhausted, and they do not hesitate to abandon everything, all for money." Angeline turned the steering wheel with one hand in a very dashing manner, and the Land Rover slid into a narrow alley.

"If you look at these people on the side of the road, hawkers, restaurants, delivery people, bank tellers, stock traders, they are all the same, they are all the same, they are all wronged, they sell everything they can sell, they are all for money, here, time is no longer time, and time has become money, so these people are getting faster and faster, they can't stop, and they don't dare to stop."

"Hmm." Lu Ran thought for a while, and then remembered that the reason why he came here, listening to this Jurchen detective say these words, in the final analysis, it seemed that it was also for money.

"I'm different, I don't love money, I love this place, this city." Angeline suddenly changed her words,

"So you ask me why I'm so obsessed, it's because I want to know the truth, the truth about the city."

"The truth?" Lu Ran didn't know that Angeline was an outlier in today's true detective world, this was to regard him as a confidant, she was alone on weekdays, and no one could say these words at all, Lu Ran was just suddenly moved by this sentence.

Everyone has their own reasons for being busy in the world, and I have too. In the beginning, I did get involved in the money for the money, but now I should be clear about what I really want.

In fact, it is nothing more than those two words. It's not about getting stronger, it's not even revenge, it's the truth. I want to know the truth about the world.

No matter which side of the world it is. I didn't expect that today, this thing, which Lu Ran hadn't thought about even in Jueying City, would be broken by a woman who hadn't known her for less than an hour or two.

"What about you?" Seeing that Lu Ran's expression was a little stupid, Angeline suddenly asked.

"I, I'm just like you, and I don't love money." Lu Ran smiled slightly.

"Actually, there are many truths, and the one I want to know the most is related to the clothes on your body and their Li family." Angeline blinked, seeming to see everything.

"Well, what is it?" Lu Ran felt that he was a lot more positive and sat up straight. Angeline braked the car to stop the car firmly on the side of the road,

"It's too late to tell you today, I have to go back to the Da'an Bureau again, and next time, I'll ask you to drink milk tea." A card was handed to Lu Ran.

It reads, Gun Harbor Royal True Detective: An Ran, some numbers and characters that Lu Ran doesn't know.

"Oh yes, you take the money and transfer it to Lizhen for me." Angeline took out two bundles of money from the car and handed them to Lu Ran.

**Lu Ran returned to the residence of the three sisters, took a moment to clean up the room that had been messed up just now, and then packed up his belongings, put them in his backpack, and carried them downstairs.

When he walked through the lobby, the security guard He Bo was chatting with others, and when he saw Lu Ran coming, he suddenly turned his face away, and he looked a little sneaky.

Lu Ran suddenly woke up when he walked out of the door, turned back, and pointed, "It turned out to be you." He Bo smiled shyly, and immediately hid himself behind the marble counter again.

When Lu Ran walked downstairs, it was another time to get off work at four or five o'clock in the afternoon, and all kinds of vendors had already occupied the patio street, and the air was filled with the smell of other people's cooking.

Lu Ran walked into the pawnshop where he saw the signboard before, and there was a lean man in his forties, wearing a gray robe that was not quite the same as people in this world, and he was also wearing a pair of glasses.

The man hadn't seen Lu Ran, and when he saw that he was also dressed in shabby clothes and carrying a women's backpack, he almost didn't drive him out.

Lu Ran was very casual, looking here, asking there, and finding that there were also some ordinary and valuable things that he wanted to see

"Baby" or not

"There are immortal things", there is no such thing at all.

"Hey, this is a pawnshop, not a flea market, and if you don't have anything to do, please go elsewhere." After about a quarter of an hour, the boss finally couldn't hold back and began to chase him.

Lu Ran saw that not only was there no one else in the store at this time, but there were also few people on the roadside, so he opened his backpack and asked, "Boss, do you want gold?" The boss saw a golden light, flashed out of his backpack, his face changed, and he immediately got up with a smile, looked at the door, and then led Lu Ran to the back of the counter.

"Take it out, this guest." Lu Ran took out one of the two gold bricks and put it on the table.

The boss's face suddenly became golden, and he felt that his eyes were so bright that he couldn't open them. Having been a pawnshop guy for nearly forty years, he knew at a glance that this thing was definitely not ordinary, but he had never seen such bright gold.

In the hand, it is heavy, and in terms of texture alone, it is indeed a piece of gold.

"I'll check it." The boss smiled flatteringly at Lu Ran, picked up the gold nugget with difficulty, found an easy place to put his mouth in, and took a bite.

Sure enough, it's real gold. But this gold with such a bright color has indeed never been seen before. It's so dangerous, I almost sent the God of Wealth away with my own hands just now.

Upon closer inspection, an inscription was found underneath the gold nugget. Not only real gold, but also probably an antique, a treasure.

But after years of professionalism, there was no trace of surprise and ecstasy on the boss's face, he put down the gold nugget, returned it to Lu Ran, and frowned, showing an extremely regretful expression: "It's gold, but there are a lot of impurities, and the purity is too low." The stupid boy on the other side didn't see that he was in a hurry, but put the gold back on the table, looked down and thought about it, and asked, "Boss, just say it, how many cups of milk tea can this piece of gold be exchanged for?" ”
