This chapter is also daily, I will write a new case tomorrow.

…

In addition to gold coins, there are also gold wine glasses, gold rings, gold bracelets, etc. in the box.

The pure gold looked a bit monotonous, and Luke guessed it might be related to the location of the treasure hunt.

Forrest Fenn may have been worried that the lake water would leak into the box and ruin the treasure, but the chemical properties of gold are relatively stable and will not have any effect on contact with water.

The next step is how to divide this batch of gold products.

There is a small weighing device on Leifni's car, which weighs the gold in batches. The total weight of gold is 18.6 pounds, and each person can get 6.2 pounds of gold coins.

In order to ensure the fairness of the division, weigh multiple times and distribute it as equally as possible.

From opening the box to distributing the gold coins, this time lasted nearly an hour.

When everyone drove back to the camp, it was completely dark.

Reifni was very excited and couldn't restrain the joy on her face, "When do you plan to leave?"

Walker said nothing and looked at Luke beside him.

Luke said, "Let's finish breakfast tomorrow."

Ravenie glanced around and said worriedly, "Hey, there are more than three treasure hunters. Now that we have obtained the treasure, we may be targeted by other treasure hunters.

Someone might even steal our gold coins, shouldn't we leave now?"

"Walking at night is more dangerous.

This is our camp, and we are more familiar with the surrounding situation. Even if there are people who steal gold coins, I prefer to wait here for work." Luke has encountered too many criminals in investigating cases, even if there are blind people who steal gold coins.

, there is nothing to worry about, he is capable of dealing with it.

"I agree." Walker agreed.

Walker was not very familiar with Luke before, but he also knew some of Luke's deeds. He was definitely one of the best police officers in Los Angeles. Walker trusted his judgment and being with Luke made him feel safe.

This is also the reason why he is willing to let Luke join the treasure hunt.

Seeing that Raifani was still hesitant, Walker advised, "Hey, stay, I am the judge, Luke is the police, there is no safer place than here.

After breakfast tomorrow, we will leave Big Bear Lake together to bring this trip to a successful conclusion."

Perhaps because of the experience of treasure hunting together, Reifani also had a certain amount of trust in Luke and she nodded, "OK, let us celebrate tonight."

Walker smiled and said, "Yes, this is a carnival for the three of us. We must get excited."

The three of them started preparing dinner.

Pizza, canned smoked herring, anchovy shrimp, soy sauce beef, edamame, banana.

They are all simple foods that can be eaten with a little heat.

"cheers!"

The three opened a bottle of champagne to celebrate.

Raifni put down her wine glass, "Luke, Walker, it's an honor to form a treasure hunting team with you. If I fight alone, I won't be able to find the treasure at all.

Oh, it’s hard to describe how I feel right now…

Excited, excited, even a little unreal.

Thanks."

Walker said, "Revney, you have done a great job, and your efforts are no less than ours.

Without your map, it would have been impossible for us to find the treasure location.

Our team is indispensable, and everyone is important.”

"A toast to our treasure hunting team." Luke suggested.

He was originally just a soy sauce hunter, but he accidentally joined the adventure treasure hunt at Walker's invitation. This first treasure hunt experience in his life also brought him a novel experience.

Ravenie took a sip of champagne and asked, "Walker, tell me about your experience. How could a judge like you be interested in treasure hunting?"

Luke said, "I'm curious too."

"I thought you had forgotten." Walker frowned, as if he was lost in memories.

"Yes, I am a respected judge, and I also like this job very much. I have received generous rewards while working hard, and I have lived a life that many people dream of.

But I don’t know since when, I found that I haven’t laughed for a long time, and I have even forgotten the feeling of happiness.

I seem to have lost the instinct to find happiness."

“At first, I thought it was because I was exposed to too many negative emotions while trying cases after becoming a judge, so I felt unhappy.

But when I carefully recalled my past experiences, I discovered that this was not the case. I had no happiness before I became a judge, and I went back to university, middle school, and elementary school.

Yes, it seems that I lost my happiness when I was in elementary school.

My grandfather passed away in the fifth grade of elementary school, and since then, there seems to be no happy memories in my life."

Ravenie guessed, "Are you an orphan?"

"My parents just passed away two years ago. Have you ever seen an orphan in his fifties?"

"Your parents are divorced?"

"No, they have a very good relationship and have been living together."

"They are not responsible parents? Don't they like you?"

"No, they are conscientious parents. There is no shortage in life. They gave me the best education and fully fulfilled their responsibilities. This is impeccable."

Raifni asked puzzledly, "Then why are you unhappy?"

"They have never taken me out to play. I have never been to an amusement park or had a picnic, let alone traveling. When I was a child, I would watch TV with fear for fear of being discovered by them.

I try hard to think about it, but I don’t have any good memories from my childhood..."

Ravenie said, "Not even once?"

"No.

My mother is a very boring person. She doesn’t even like eating out. She thinks restaurants outside are unhygienic. She will think pessimistically about every little thing. Her life seems to be without any fun.

Even family dinners would become a burden to her, and she was not thinking about the happiness of family gathering together.

Instead, I worry about washing more dishes.

In her words, why do people need to eat?

How nice to have one meal a day...something like that.

She is always full of all kinds of negative energy, and she likes to scold people, especially my dad.

This problem was not obvious when I was young. The older I get, the more I like to curse."

"Will she do this in front of outsiders?"

"No, it's only like this in front of family members."

Leifni said, "I can understand. I have seen people like what you said. They care very much about the evaluation of outsiders and leave the good things to outsiders. Those close to them are often the ones who get hurt."

"Yes, my parents are this kind of people. They would rather lower their living standards than buy one less piece of clothing." Walker sighed,

"Sorry, what I said was a bit off.

I spent my childhood studying, but I never experienced the joy of childhood.

This resulted in me being unable to experience happiness when I grew up.

Many people may not understand this, and may even think it is a bit hypocritical, but it is true.

Others may laugh at the same thing, but to me... what's so funny about it?

I'm in pain and I want to change, but I find...it's really difficult."

"The only happy time in my life was probably when I was with my grandfather. He was a happy little old man with no education and a blue-collar job, but he was very sunny and happy.

Every time we are together, he will play with me.

It's not the kind of perfunctory kind of responsibility, but you really like to play with me.

The most unforgettable thing for me was when he took me on a wild adventure to hunt for treasure, driving his old pickup truck. We set up tents together, looked for hay together, and hunted together...

Although I didn't find the treasure in the end, I was really happy.

I will remember it until the day I die.

This is something I have never experienced with my parents. They are qualified parents, but they are more of a responsibility.

I don’t want my children to be worse than other people’s children.

As for whether I am happy or not, they never seem to consider it.

I want to find my own happiness, no, to be precise, I want to learn to be happy, so I came here to hunt for treasures. This will be the second unforgettable experience in my life.

I'm very happy these days, and I'm glad to meet you.
