Diane meant to let Sandy, a local, lead the way, find several detective agencies and service companies, and commission them to find the statue in the painting in various ways.

Those professionals have a lot of special ways to find people and things, which is much better than our own blind collisions in the world.

Unexpectedly, Sandy took the portrait and only looked at it twice, and muttered in a low voice: "This thing is a little familiar, I seem to have seen ...... somewhere"

"Really, is that a coincidence?"

Diane was suddenly surprised, and suddenly turned his head to look at Luo Chong.

Luo Chong smiled and nodded, knowing in his heart that this was not just a coincidence, but that the luck accumulated in the past three days should have an effect.

However, in addition to the joy, there is also a little distress: you can get the clue of the statue at once, how much luck does it take?

'Luck is also a consumable, it cannot be blessed with a fixed value, and it will never change. People often say that luck runs out, which is what it means.

On the other hand, 'no Ji Tailai' means that if you boil up bad luck to the end, good luck will come naturally.

Diane only had one good friend in Washington, Sandy, but it was possible that the person who had seen the statue before, how much good luck would be consumed by such a bullish coincidence?

Therefore, Luo Chong was a little distressed, and muttered in his heart: No need to do this, I still have to stay in Washington for three or four days, and let me get clues in the last day or two, what a savings.

"Forget it, you"

Bubbles smiled: "If it's cheap, it's still good, can it still work?"

"No, I'm not hypocritical. Luo Chong explained in his heart: "Leave a little luck, let me find a suitable demon shop as soon as possible, and buy thousands of souls and life energy, this is the most important thing." I didn't expect much from what the Soul Eater had said, even if it would take a few years to put together the full state of the Soul Eater Blade, it wouldn't be too aggrieved. ”

Bubbles replied in a coquettish voice: "Okay, okay, I'll be spending time in the shop space for the past few days, I must find you a shop like that, it's all right."

At the same time, Sandy was thinking hard about when and where she had seen this statue, and muttered in her thick lips: "It's been a long time, let me think about it......"

Diane just nodded vigorously, but didn't bother her without saying much.

swish

The bubble flew out, and a small spell was thrown at Sandy's head, and with a whoosh back into the demon's eye, she entered the shop space to continue her search.

This is a small spell of the spiritual system, which has no magical effect, and can only stimulate a person's spiritual potential for a certain period of time, and the attention is particularly concentrated, and the memory will be extraordinarily clear.

Ten seconds later, Sandy raised her hand and pointed at Diane and shouted, "Ah, I remembered"

Rumble......

This black lady is also quite individual, slamming the accelerator, the car slammed onto the road, and scared a passing car to honk its horn.

"Old York's Treasure Trove"

Sandy didn't care about the driver's accusations and curses, and was busy changing gears, and said, "Honey, have you heard of Old York?"

"I've not only heard it, but I've seen it. ”

Diane is also an expert in fishing for deviations, nodded and replied: "I went to him once, and I have a very bad impression of him. ”

Then he turned his head and explained to Luo Chong that Old York was a black marketeer who specialized in buying stolen goods, with a dark heart and a full of swearing.

The so-called treasure vault is a mess of things in his personal collection, which are also purchased at low prices from all kinds of thieves and robbers, but are not easy to change hands.

Anyway, the price itself was very cheap, and with personal hobbies, Old York was not in a hurry to deal with them, so he put them in his pantry, and when regular customers came, he took them in for a walk, and after all kinds of boasting, when he encountered the right opportunity, he would slaughter them fiercely.

An old thief, if the statue is really in his hand, Luo Chong wants to get his hands, then it will be too simple. Again, how much good luck does this consume

Old York Grocery Store

It was named, and it was ostensibly a grocery store, and if an acquaintance was selling stolen goods, the middle-aged, balding clerk would let you into the counter and go up the back door to the second floor, where Old York's office and pantry were located.

Sandy, who had been washing her hands for a long time, hadn't been here for a few days, but the bald clerk still recognized her, so she just casually asked, 'Sandy, are you planning to go back to your old business again?'

This kind of person has thief eyes, and at a glance, he knows that Luo Chong and Diane are definitely not policemen.

The staircase behind the bar was quite narrow, and Sandy muttered, "That old York guy must be fat again, I don't know if this staircase can be blocked by him......"

"Who's talking bad about me? I've got a good ear"

A heavy voice came from above, and it sounded like the kind of old guy who was entering old age, with a fat body, a big beer belly, and probably a beard.

Luo Chong didn't need the audio-visual connection of bubbles, he had already painted his appearance in his mind.

Upstairs there are only three rooms, the first is Old York's office, the middle is the restroom, and then the so-called treasure room, which is enclosed in the innermost by a heavy iron door.

The office wasn't very large, and across the door was a dark brown desk that looked old, stacked with a flat fast-food box with two pizzas left, a mess of leftovers, and half a bottle of whiskey.

Old York's appearance is similar to what Luo Chong imagined, except that he has no beard and a neat face.

"Who did I see?"

Old York sat there with a big belly, looked at Sandy, and asked strangely, "How long have you not been here?"

syllable

Sandy was too lazy to talk nonsense with this old rascal, so the portrait slapped on the table and asked directly, "Is this thing still in your hands?"

Old York first looked at Diane in a daze, and said with a smile: "If I'm not mistaken, a little thief girl from New York, but you seem to be getting younger and more beautiful." ”

Then he stared at Luo Chong again, looked up and down a few times, and asked, "Who is this kid?"

"Buyers. ”

Luo Chong replied to him lightly, in fact, he had already connected with the bubble audio-visual, looked into his storage room, and searched for traces of the statue on several rows of shelves.

Old York snorted in his throat, as if he was too fat to breathe, and then he looked down at the portrait and asked Sandy, "How long have you not been here?"

"It's been more than three years. ”

Sandy replied impatiently, "Don't ramble on that, come on, isn't this thing here?"

"Sold"

Old York smiled strangely: "It was sold half a year ago, but I know the details of the buyer." ”

Sandy has dealt with him many times, how can he not understand, what he means: I want to know who bought Lu Dao, take the money

"How much?" Sandy asked in a low voice.

"Five Hundred"

Old York gave a slap in the face.

"Just one piece of news, you dare to ask for five hundred?" Sandy glared.

Old York glanced at Diane and Luo Chong, and immediately understood that they didn't care about this little money at all, and they had the bottom in their hearts, so they lazily replied: "That's it." ”

In that way, love to buy or not, love to buy or not.

Sandy wanted to say something, but Luo Chong had already started to pay for it.

Whew......

Luo Chong took out five hundred dollars from his wallet and placed them on the table with a calm expression, and then placed at least one thousand dollars on the other end of the table.

Old York was able to comprehend what he meant, restrained the old scoundrel smile on his face, looked at Luo Chong nodded, opened the drawer, took out his reading glasses and put them on, thought about it quite seriously, and wrote down a few lines of more detailed information on a sticky note, including name, nickname, address, and contact number.

"Be careful, this guy isn't easy to mess with. ”

Old York pointed to his head: "He's a madman." ”

"Is that him?"

Sandy picked up the sticky note and looked at it a few times, then said to Diane and Luo Chong: "I know this guy, yes, this is a madman." ”

Luo Chong nodded, pushed the two pieces of money on the table in front of Old York, stared at his eyes, and said in a low voice: "Forget about this matter, don't do something that you think is smart, otherwise you will ......"

I don't need to say anything more.

They were gone, and Old York was still staring at the money in a daze, and for a while he shuddered, his face was bloodless, and he muttered, "This is not a human eye......"

The demon's eyes, in particular, have devoured the souls of thousands of people......

Walking out of the grocery store, Sandy was still complaining: "Diane, is your man a loser, why do you want to give him so much money? At most two hundred yuan, that old bastard will ......"

The thick lips were particularly sharp, crackling for a long time, getting into the car, starting the engine, and still talking

However, it can be seen from her old sedan, which is forty percent new, that her life is not very rich. Luo Chong could guess that she was also out of order, and she must have paid a lot of price before she washed her hands in Jinpan in order to live a peaceful and normal life.

After receiving Luo Chong's whisper, Diane took out a brand-new check from her handbag, wrote a number, handed it to Sandy, who was driving, and said to her: "My dear, even if it is for those experiences in the past, I will give you a compensation." ”

"Not required"

Sandy said this indifferently, and glanced at the numbers on the check with an indifferent gaze......

Squeak

A sudden braking, all indifference turned into shock.

"How much is that? Am I not mistaken?"

She grabbed the check and counted it carefully, five zeros in front and five zeros in the back, half a million

"Half a million?"

Sandy opened her mouth wide and asked, "Diane, what are you doing here?"

"This eldest young master is a billionaire, and I am only for his money to marry such a child. ”

Diane first turned his head and looked at Luo Chong and said such a joke, and then said to Sandy: "That statue is much more important than you can imagine, even if it's just a clue, it's worth this amount." Take it, it's really nothing to us. ”

Sandy still didn't take the check, but turned his head, stared at Luo Chong and asked, "Mr. Devil, who are you?"

"Sandy, if this money can surprise you......"

Luo Chong said slowly: "Then, it can save me a lot of good luck, for me, this is a very cost-effective deal." ”

Whether this is the case or not, Luo Chong doesn't know the way, but his intuition is that there must be a certain fairness in the law of fate, and there are laws in the dark, but it is difficult for you to figure it out.

Even if this is not regarded, as Diane's friend, her credit has saved us so much time and energy, a mere half a million dollars, which is really not much.

"I don't understand what you're talking about. ”

Sandy shook her head, but took the check and kissed it to her mouth, and then said cheerfully, "But since you are a rich man, I am a fool if you don't want this money." Diane, am I a fool?"

"Of course not. ”

Diane Jiao smiled: "Who dares to say that our sisters are fools......"
