The small peaks pointed to by the reflection in the lake are bare, except for the scattered shrubs halfway up the mountain, there are large and small broken stones.

This is rare.

Dean crouched down, briefly observed, thoughtful.

"Dean, is there anything unusual about these stones?" , Thompson wondered.

This hill, facing the direction of the mountain wind, is like a slope facing the mountain wind, and the wind blows the sun every day, the vegetation is difficult to grow, and the stones are also weathered.

Isn't that normal?

"It's a stone that has been blasted open by gunpowder."

Dean pointed to the large and small stones around him: "Normally weathered stones, the texture is very brittle, and they are mostly flaked, but these are not, which means that they are out of the main body in an instant, walking more slowly, I suspect that there are potholes around." ”

Watch Dean grope around his back.

Thompson's eyes lit up with suspicion.

In his memory, before the second brother went to college, he was a simple-minded, well-developed limb Hanhan, and the eldest brother had the same virtue, but he went to college for two years and went to the police to study for more than half a year, and now he is so knowledgeable?

He was sure that Dean was Dean.

So what made Dean change so much?

The little brother's smart little head melon, this moment is running fast, combined with the fact that every time Dean comes back, there will be a different woman's perfume smell on his body

There's only one answer!

Woman!

Women make men mature!

Thompson's eyes showed this.

It must be because Dean has been exposed to a lot of women since college, which is why he has changed so much.

Isn't it the same for you?

I used to be stupid and timid.

Now the mouth is like oil, and in a few words, you can make the other person laugh.

After experiencing the last Shura field overturned.

I went to teach myself some small methods of psychology again, and easily resolved the last crisis.

Sure enough, women make men grow!

Thompson, who was only fifteen years old, smiled as if he understood something, and followed Dean's footsteps.

The hill is not very large.

It took about seven or eight minutes.

Dean was halfway up the mountain and found some bloodstains.

The blood stains are reddish-black.

Not completely weathered and dried up.

Dean's 'trace' gives the exact answer: about four days.

This is supposed to be the blood left by the previous owner of the treasure map in Dean's hand.

Thinking of the poor father and daughter.

Dean shook his head.

This is a real treasure, no matter how much it is worth, it can be regarded as an unexpected gain and surprise, not to mention that Anthony's family will send someone to buy the key fragment in the treasure.

Pity.

The unexpected comes before the surprise.

By the guidance of the bloodstains.

Dean takes Thompson and finally picks up a bush and discovers an artificially blown passage.

The passage is not large, and the entrance is square.

Dean tried and found that he wanted to go in, but it was a little difficult, so he had to look at the little brother on the side: "Man, it's your turn." ”

"No problem!"

Thompson looked at the black hole, and without fear, tied a rope around his waist, a searchlight on his head, a gun in front, and a man in the back, and got in.

I waited about three minutes.

Thompson's surprised voice came from the entrance of the cave: "Dean, this is a secret room of about five square meters, and there is a sealed iron box inside, you pull hard!" ”

Dean has a hand in his hands.

Immediately, there was a sharp sound of the iron box rubbing against the rocks.

The passage is not deep.

The rope is pulled out about three or four meters.

An iron box about 30 centimeters high and about 20 centimeters long and wide appeared in front of Dean's eyes.

"It's only that big."

Dean removed the box so as not to plug Thompson inside, and then crouched down to inspect it.

The outside of the box is wrapped in iron sheets, which are seriously rusted, and a large piece of iron sheet can be torn off with a gentle joint force, and under the iron sheet, there is a smaller copper box.

The copper box is red-green, and the lock is sealed with a layer of white metal.

Seeing that the metal was not very hard, Dean pulled hard and opened the box.

"What's in there?"

Thompson, who was dirty, came over with a searchlight.

I saw that in the small copper box, there were seven or eight small sheepskin bags, in addition to that, there was also a wooden box, a folded letter.

"Dean~", Thompson raised his little head, his little dark eyes full of pleading, "Let me check these things." ”

This may be a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Dean gave him a kick: "It's disgusting that you sell cuteness, hurry up and watch!" ”

Thompson was brought aside, not angry, he smiled, got up, the fly rubbed his hands, saw that Dean had turned on the video camera, only then lit a cross on his chest, prayed twice, and took out the first bag.

The bag looked a little heavy, and when I picked it up, there was the sound of metal colliding.

Open it and take a look.

More than a dozen metal coins, illuminated by the light, emitted a dark glow of gold and silver.

Dean was a little disappointed.

Even if it's all gold coins, it's estimated that they won't be able to sell for a few dollars.

Thompson took out the top coin, looked at it carefully, and let out a surprise cheer: "Dean, we are rich, this is the 1804 limited edition Class IIISilverDollar!" ”

"Is it worth a lot?"

Dean crouched down and looked at the small coin.

The coin has a golden yellow color, an Indian head on the obverse, and an eagle on the reverse, which does not look very special.

As if he had seen the most cherished treasure, Thompson put it back in the bag:

"This is the commemorative coin that flowed out when the gold coins were melted down, and they were generally used as a national gift and presented to the leaders of some other countries.

Even if this is only a part of the mint's private flow into the market, the world will not add up to more than forty.

I've seen reports that in '80, the auction price was $180,000, and now it's only going to be higher.

If it's genuine with the rest of the value attached.

That can sell for at least millions of dollars! ”

Dean smashed, smashed, smacked.

It's such a gadget, and it's so valuable?

Thompson continued, however, to show his knowledge: "I have two of the other in the bag, and I have a little impression, it should also be some ancient coins, and the value is not measured by gold and silver alone. ”

Dean, who had already been promoted to multi-millionaire.

This 'little treasure', which is not worth mentioning in Anthony's mouth, finally came to the momentum: "Look at the other bags!" ”

One by one, the sheepskin bags were opened.

Inside, there are either well-kept jewelry, gemstone necklaces, or small objects that look like history.

On the inside of the bag, there is also very small handwriting with the names of these things written on it.

This means that as long as they look up by name, they can lock in the value of these things and not sell them as ordinary objects.

I can only praise the treasure collector: intimate!

"The gemstone necklace on this bag is for Mom, this pair of earrings is for Sinclair, this gold fountain pen is for you, and the rest will be sold when the time comes."

Dean split the object in two and stuffed it into his backpack along with the small, sealed box.

Thompson's face turned red with excitement: "Dean, are you really willing to give me that pure gold fountain pen, it is at least a hundred grams, even if it is sold separately, it is very valuable." ”

Dean touched his head, "We're brothers. ”

He noticed that Thompson had been looking at the pen with love in his eyes.

Thompson's eyes welled up in tears when he was moved by Dean's words.

Dean chuckled and opened the final envelope.

Inside is a warning left by the treasure hunter - Tiger-Morgan:

[Congratulations, you found some small things I left behind.]

They may make a difference in your life.

But it's a pity.

It's just a little game for me personally.

Please keep that little box and wait for someone from the Morgan family to pick it up.

This thing is useless to you.

There will be bad luck if you stay in your hands. 】

This letter confirms that Anthony is not lying to himself.

It's really just a little game that the old naughty boy used to fight for himself.

But Dean believes that it is definitely not only the father and daughter who lost their lives for these treasures.

He put away the letters.

patted Thompson, who was still moving.

"Little brother, the expedition is over, let's face the camera."

The little brother just reads and is very miscellaneous, but he is not professional in identifying antiquities.

Dean handed over the small box containing the key fragments to the stranger Anthony had called, paid for it, went to the best auction house in Los Angeles, and found a special expert to identify the items.

The results exceeded his expectations.

These things, all of them are the belongings of celebrities.

Remove the gemstone necklace for Mom, the gemstone pendant for my sister, and Thompson's pen.

The rest, if all sold.

Experts estimate that it can be worth more than $6 million.

If Dean is willing to give them up for auction, the auction house can even advance his $3 million check.

What can Dean say except for feeling refreshed?

He found that with the increasing strength, continuous improvement of his status, and more and more bigwigs he knew, the money that he could only get in exchange for his hard work in his previous life now seemed to be actively drilled into his pocket.

Think about when you first came into the world.

Because of 3.8 million US dollars, without hesitation, seven people were directly shot.

Now it's just a breeze.

The account is about to exceed more than 17 million dollars, becoming the envy of everyone's small rich.

There is a lot of money, and there are also troubles.

The money on his body now is clean and doesn't need to be washed, but next year's tax payment will be very painful.

Except for the prize ticket of only 400,000 US dollars, there is no need to deal with it.

The rest of the money is taxable.

Including the previous bounty of more than $2 million.

Because this matter can't be put on the table, it's the rich man, in the name of technical support and other items, paid a reward.

But Dean didn't have time to deal with that stuff for the time being.

Because the day after tomorrow is Christmas.

His eldest brother, who also followed his second uncle, flew back from Oregon.

Dean is now going to drive to pick them up.

For the second uncle.

Dean's predecessor has a very good impression and some memories, but for his eldest brother Baker, the only memory seems to be that the other party has taken him to fight and bully little girls since he was a child.

This guy is a very pure villain.

For this meeting.

Dean still had some small expectations in his heart.

He loves villains.
