Chapter 67: Reward

The excavation site was bustling.

With Raymond watching over Dave, Luke felt reassured and also crowded in for a look.

Because the site was too far from the city center, they couldn't use an excavator and had to take turns digging with shovels.

The young Marcus also went down to dig for a while.

When they had dug half a meter deep, Marcus threw the shovel aside, jumped up, and complained, "I'm exhausted. I'm really not cut out for this. What do you guys think Tony buried underneath?"

The deputy didn't hesitate, "A body. Tony came here every year. Likely, he was either confessing or paying respects, or perhaps it was to prevent the body from being exposed by periodically covering it with soil."

Luke joked, "Or it could be some treasure."

Marcus perked up, "Isn't that Impressionist master's painting still missing? What if Tony had hidden it and it's just below?"
