"What … What the hell is going on?" Yusuf, the middle-eastern man, said in broken English. "Everyone knows that Green likes to play tricks. I say, let him come out and meet his old friend!"
"Yeah, how could Green be dead?" Juliet said. "And that ridiculous will? It's obvious that he's playing a joke on us again!"
"I'm not short of money," Yusuf said disdainfully. "If Green had a will, it would have been left for his descendants. Why would he leave it for us?"
"That's right, don't make trouble …" Miao Kun had already come to Zhao Yu's side, avoiding Jessica. He stood behind Zhao Yu and said to the hostess named Jasmine, "It's inauspicious to use such a stunt to liven up the fun of the detective salon. Let Green come out!"
"It doesn't matter if you believe it or not!" Jasmine coldly crossed her arms and said to the crowd, "My father is really no longer in this world. According to his own wishes, we buried his body in the garden of Miracle Island. If anyone wants to pay their respects, they can go and see for themselves."
Jasmine's words finally quieted down.
"To be honest, I don't know much about my father," Jasmine said, shaking her head. "You should be able to see that our relationship was not very good.
This time, if it weren't for the inheritance, I wouldn't have returned to the island and sent out invitations! "
"So …" The black man in the distance said, "The detective salon really wasn't organized by Green? It was you? I don't understand. Why did you call us here in the name of Green? "
"Do you even need to ask?" Yusuf said. "I've just said it a hundred times. Green left us a will!"
"Lunch has been prepared for everyone!" Jasmine glanced at the crowd and said in an arrogant tone, "But what I want to say is very simple. It's not too late to eat after that!"
"Okay," Miao Kun said, spreading out his hands. "Then tell us, what did Green leave us? Could it be his perverted collection? Whipping and dripping wax? "
Miao Kun's words made the crowd burst into laughter.
Zhao Yu looked at Miao Kun with disdain. The image of his father-in-law in his heart was crumbling …
"I believe that all of you have heard the rumor in Cape Town 22 years ago, right?" Jasmine ignored the laughter of the crowd and continued to speak in a cold tone, "Some people say that the diamonds were embezzled by my father!
"But, there's no evidence, and there's no reason. In the end, we can only leave it be!"
Unexpectedly, the moment the word 'diamond' was mentioned, the scene fell into silence once again.
"Time flies …" Yusuf recalled with a gloomy face, "It seems like the South African diamond incident just happened yesterday!"
"Now, I can responsibly tell everyone that the rumors are not wrong at all. That batch of diamonds was taken by my father!" Jasmine said without holding anything back. "He had written this into his will a long time ago. After he passed away, I finally knew the truth!"
"Ah? He's stirring up trouble again … "Miao Kun said." Twenty-two years ago, Green was already a billionaire. Why would he steal diamonds? Did he want to become a live target? It's not like he lacks money. Is he crazy? "
"The way you speak shows that you still don't understand my father!" Jasmine shook her head and said, "He embezzled the diamonds, not for the money, but to take revenge on the British government. He did it purely to vent his anger!"
"That's impossible, right? He … How did he steal the diamonds from under the nose of MI6? "the black man said." At that time, after the robbery, at least one group of agents participated in the operation.
"The murderer and the buyer were burned to death, and the diamonds eventually disappeared. We always thought that it was the British who called the thief to stop the thief!"
"There's no point in mentioning these unspeakable family matters anymore!" Jasmine spread out her palms and asked calmly, "Everyone is hungry, right? Can I make it short?"
As soon as she said this, everyone had to shut their mouths for the time being.
"Let's not talk about the old grudges first. My father's will is written clearly in black and white," Jasmine said to the crowd like an experienced speaker. "He hid the diamonds somewhere on Miracle Island, and they have never been touched!"
Wow …
Hearing this, the crowd could not help but burst into an uproar. They all felt that it was unbelievable.
"I still don't understand. You keep talking about diamonds, diamonds …" Yusuf asked. "What does this have to do with us? Do you think that one of us is your father's accomplice? "
"Of course not!" Jasmine said quickly. "The purpose of me inviting everyone here is to hope that everyone can help me find the diamonds!
"According to the will, ten years ago, my father had already set up a trap and left a key clue at the Detective Salon. So, I can only find the diamonds if I gather everyone who participated in the Detective Salon that year! "
"What the … This … This is too ridiculous, isn't it?" The one who spoke was Jessica. At that moment, he had been attracted by Jasmine's words and temporarily forgot about his personal grievances with Miao Kun.
"It's not for free!" Jasmine said seriously, with a straight face. "My father is no longer here, and the South African diamond has passed the international prosecution period. I have no need to hide it anymore!
So, if anyone can help me find the diamonds, I am willing to pay 20% of the total value of the diamonds as a reward. If you are worried, we can sign a contract after lunch! "
"Hahaha …" Jessica laughed and said to Jasmine, "Since it's a Detective Salon, you should know what we do, right?
"Grimm's trick is the most outdated and disgusting I've ever seen! Why, are we going to look for diamonds just because of what you said? What a joke! "
"How big can Miracle Island be?" Tanizhao Ichiro asked curiously. "If there were such benefits, why would they leave it to us? You can search for it yourself. One day, you will find it, right? "
"To tell you the truth," Jasmine said, "the Green family's ownership of Miracle Island is not indefinite. You are all experts, so you can check it out.
"In two months, the Fiji government will take back Miracle Island, so I don't have that much time."
"…"
Everyone was speechless. Only the shrewd Yusuf began to count with his fingers and silently calculated. "The diamond incident was not on the news. We only heard through our internal channels that the missing diamonds were worth about 7 million pounds!
"Now that 22 years have passed, according to the market exchange rate, the total value can increase tenfold, which is 70 million pounds! A 20% commission, which is 14 million pounds!
"Hmm …" He nodded vigorously. "This is a good deal, much better than my oil business! If that's the case, I won't leave first. I can look for it.
"Don't you think so?"
No one answered.
"You're wrong!" Jasmine corrected him coldly. "Among the diamonds that were lost, there were some of the best pink diamonds. If they were placed in today's market, just the pink diamonds alone would be worth 100 million pounds, not to mention the other diamonds! "
"…" Everyone was speechless again.
100 million pounds, Zhao Yu silently calculated. If all of them were included, wouldn't the total value of this batch of diamonds be as much as one billion RMB? A 20% commission would be 200 million, right?
"Hehe …" The French spinning spear senior laughed. "Diamonds are indeed worth a lot, but who would believe such an absurd thing?"
