Chapter 529 Getting angry(1/2)
Three shots.
Three men died on the deck.
Everything happened so suddenly, Lilith and the girl with glasses didn't even react.
It wasn't until Elsa Marin fell to the ground and her right hand fell on Lilith's foot that she retreated in panic and let out a panicked cry, "Ah..."
The girl with glasses even shouted in horror, "Don't kill me, I don't want the treasure anymore, I don't want it anymore."
I just want to go home and find my mother...
I will never come treasure hunting again..."
Luke "..."
The two men were obviously frightened by the murder scene.
Luke suddenly realized that although the three were treasure hunting partners, they had only been in contact for a few days. What's more, the traitor Elsa Marin had just appeared, and their mutual trust was greatly reduced.
Were they simply frightened by the scene in front of them?
Or are you worried that you want to kill people and silence them and steal the treasures?
perhaps……
All of them.
Luke did not comfort the two of them, but just unlocked the plastic handcuffs for them and asked, "Is there anyone else on the yacht?"
Lilith rubbed her wrist and looked at Luke with her big blue eyes with some confusion, "I don't know, I only saw Elsa Marin and the tattooed man."
Luke said, "Stay here and don't move around. There may be other people on the yacht. I'm going to search it."
Hearing that there might be other gangsters, Lilith grabbed Luke's shoulders and said with concern, "Be careful."
The girl with glasses also picked up her pistol again, "We will protect ourselves."
Luke smiled, said nothing, and entered the first floor of the yacht to search.
The girl with glasses looked at Lilith, "Lilith, what should we do now?"
Lilith looked at the corpse on the ground and took a deep breath, "Luke saved us, we should thank him."
The girl with glasses nodded, "You're right, I was so frightened just now that I forgot to thank him."
Lilith looked towards the cab, "Is the maritime satellite phone in the cab?"
"Yes."
"Go to the police and explain clearly the situation here and our location."
"Okay." The glasses girl's eyes lit up and she hurriedly ran into the cab. She picked up the Maritime Satellite Phone and pressed the switch. However, she found that the Maritime Satellite Phone did not respond. After careful inspection, her face changed drastically, "Lilith, Maritime Satellite Phone
The satellite phone is broken.”
Lilith also hurried into the cab, "How could it be broken?"
"Could it be Elsa Marin who did it?" the girl with glasses gritted her teeth, "This bad girl not only took the tattooed man on the yacht while we were carrying the treasure, but also took the opportunity to cause damage."
Lilith asked, "Can you fix it?"
"I am not sure."
Lilith suddenly felt an inexplicable fear and a deep sense of powerlessness. This unknown island was relatively remote, with very few people. It would be dark soon, and there were no other ships around. The maritime satellite phone was destroyed, which meant that they
Temporarily lost contact with the outside world.
…
Luke entered the first floor of the yacht, searched every room, and found some equipment from Elsa Marin's room. He guessed that it was probably brought by the tattooed man.
However, no other gangsters were found.
Luke boarded the deck again. Lilith and the girl with glasses had recovered from the previous panic, but their expressions were a little strange.
Luke asked, "Did the police call the police?"
The girl with glasses sighed, "The maritime satellite phone is broken, so there is no way to call the police."
Lilith suggested, "Shall we go back to St. Thomas and call the police?"
"Okay, but we need to solve two problems before going back." Luke pointed to the three corpses on the ground, "St. Thomas Island is more than a hundred nautical miles away from here. Are you going to take these three corpses back together?"
Lilith shook her head, "No, I don't want to stay with these three corpses. Not even for a minute."
The girl with glasses echoed, "Me too.
If you meet other people on the road, it might cause misunderstandings, which is not a good idea."
Luke continued, "We still have one box of gold bricks and six boxes of silver bricks left in the cave.
It will take at least six or seven hours to collect the bodies and return to St. Thomas.
After we call the police, the police may also detain us. The time when we will return to the island is still unknown, and no one can say for sure whether the treasures in the cave are still there."
Lilith asked, "Then what do you think?"
Luke said, "First move the body to the shore, rest for a night, and then transport the remaining treasures in the cave back tomorrow, and then return to St. Thomas to call the police.
This is my idea."
Lilith said, "Elsa Marin should have contacted her accomplices through a maritime satellite phone, and her accomplice's ship is probably hidden somewhere near the island.
There is probably a maritime satellite phone on the ship, and we can find their ship and use their maritime satellite phone to call the police."
Luke said, "According to your thinking, even if we find the gangster's boat, it will be dark and it will be more difficult to move the treasure.
If the police had arrived here early, the remaining treasure would still be in the cave.
Do you think those treasures will still belong to us?"
The rainforest was so dark at night that even Luke was in awe and didn't want to walk through the rainforest at night.
Lilith shook her head slightly, "I don't know..."
"I think the prerequisite for calling the police is to arrange the treasures properly so that subsequent matters can be handled easily." Although Luke is also a policeman, he does not believe in the ethics of the local police.
A huge treasure is a huge test for human nature. The more people there are, the more complicated things will be and the more variables there will be.
Lilith echoed softly, "You're right. Just do it."
Luke asked, "Why do I feel like you guys are a little nervous?"
Lilith replied, "Maybe she was frightened by the gangsters."
A smile appeared on Luke's lips, "With me here, what do you have to be afraid of?"
Lilith forced a smile and said, "You are right, with you here, I feel much more at ease.
What do we do now?"
Luke said, "Take pictures first, and then move the bodies to the island. With the hot and humid climate here, these bodies will stink by tomorrow, and there will be no way to stay on the yacht by then."
Lilith and the girl with glasses felt a little uncomfortable facing the gangster's body, but neither of them raised any objections and helped Luke dispose of the body and clean the deck of the yacht.
By the time I finished cleaning up, it was already dark.
The weather in the tropical rain forest makes you sweat even if you don't move. Luke has been sweating profusely for a long day at work. "I'm going to take a shower. You guys should keep an eye on me first."
After watching Luke leave, Lilith and the girl with glasses looked at each other and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
…
An hour later, a tall man with a tough face walked out of the cabin on the first floor and changed into a clean short shirt and beach pants, full of vacation style.
Only the pistol he carried ruined this harmonious scene.
Luke lit a cigarette and stood on the deck of the yacht to smoke. It was already dark. The island on the south seemed to be shrouded in a black veil, giving it a sense of mystery. Occasionally, he could hear the roar of a wild beast, mixed with
Listening to the sound of the waves, I couldn't tell what kind of animal it was.
The lights were on in the cab. Luke opened the door and walked in. He saw the bespectacled girl leaning on the desk and busy with her head down.
"What are you doing?"
"ah……"
The girl with glasses was startled, turned to look at Luke, her eyes fell on the pistol on his waist, and stood up immediately, "I'm repairing the satellite phone." The girl with glasses waved her hand, "I didn't mean to call the police.
, I just want to share the joy of getting the treasure with my family.”
Luke found a chair and sat down, waving his hand and saying, "Go take a bath, relax, don't put too much pressure on yourself, the matter is over."
"Okay." The girl with glasses quickly stood up, took the parts of the satellite phone, and walked quickly to the door of the cab, as if she was afraid that Luke would regret it.
Luke frowned slightly, "Where is Lilith?"
…
Yacht master bedroom, bathroom.
Lilith seemed to be lying lazily in the bathtub, but her pretty face looked a little restless. There was a layer of white foam floating on the surface of the bathtub, and her graceful figure was looming.
Elsa Marin's betrayal was a little hard for her to accept. She had already given Elsa Marin an extremely generous reward, but she didn't expect that she would contact an outsider to trick her, not only for the treasure, but also for her own life.
To be continued...
