It was not easy to leave Mexico legally with a comatose man.
Leaving Mexico was not difficult. Li Du contacted a border officer, secretly gave him $100,000, and found a reason to take the driver away.
When they entered the United States, it would be impossible to give money again. If he gave money now, he might even be prosecuted for bribery, and Li Du would be deported.
Fortunately, Hans had a way. He shouted, "My man fainted! He fainted! Help! Everyone, come and help! Be kind and call the doctor! "
The border police took control of them and refused to let them go. "You can go, but he can't. He doesn't have a legal pass!"
Hans resorted to making a scene and shouted, "Can't we save them first? Man, why don't you save him? Save him! Everyone come and save him! Doctor, where is the doctor?! "
"You guys are too cold-blooded. Just thirty years ago, just thirty years ago, when the hotel next door caught fire, it was our fire station that threw the water hose over to save the fire. We were like a family, how could you guys forget?"
What he said was true. In the 1980s, there was a hotel on Mexican land south of the border that caught fire.
The border was not in the downtown area of Southern Nogales. Only some people built hotels and restaurants to entertain tourists. Sometimes the border police and staff would go there to eat.
Seeing this, the fire department on the American side made a prompt decision. They handed the water hose to the Mexicans and helped them quickly put out the fire.
The incident was heartwarming. At that time, Hollywood even made a movie about it, called "Tenderness," a low-budget production.
The fire fighting incident had made Southern Nogales and Southern Nogales close for a long time. Unfortunately, with the outbreak of 9/11, the United States raised the border security to the highest level, and the two cities became cold again.
Hearing Hans's shout, an old, gray-haired police officer sighed and said, "Take them to the infirmary for examination, and keep an eye on the fainted guy. If he pretends to be unconscious and wants to smuggle, don't be merciful!"
"Yes, Sir!" Two burly policemen followed him.
As long as the man was brought to the United States, Li Du would have a way.
It was still money, but instead of using money to bribe the civil servants, they were using money to pay a guarantee. This was similar to the bail money at the police station, and it could be used to guarantee the release of illegal residents temporarily.
Then, Li Du began to contact a lawyer to find a way to transfer the driver's nationality.
After working until nightfall, Li Du returned to the hotel and went to bed.
The next day, he saw a few missed calls from the food stall owner.
Li Du replied and asked, "Have you found out who is behind this?"
"Yes, how do I get the money?" the stall owner asked.
"Tell me some of the information first, then I'll give you the money. I don't care about this little bit of money, I just want to know the truth."
The stall owner pondered for a while and said, "Alright, the one who messed with you is a treasure hunter. That guy is in storage auctions."
Li Du immediately thought of Princeps, who had been electrocuted by him yesterday. He said, "Is he from Tucson? His name is Princeps. He has a deep voice and speaks slowly. He's about 1.8 meters tall … "
"Give me the rest of the money first," the stall owner insisted.
Li Du transferred the money, and the stall owner said, "The other party contacted Vulture's men by phone. They don't know the specific identity of this person, and only wrote down a phone number. I'll give you the phone number, and you can check it yourself."
Soon, the phone number was sent over. Li Du took Brother Wolf's phone and dialed. A rude voice said, "Who is calling so early in the morning?"
Li Du said, "I'm looking for Princeps …"
"Princeps is still sleeping. Who are you? I'll ask him to call you back later? "The other party's tone was gentler.
Li Du hung up the phone. The situation was right. It was Princeps.
He thought that after he had taught Princeps a lesson several times, he would have learned his lesson. Now it seemed that Princeps did not learn his lesson.
The auction was about to start today, and Li Du had no time to teach him a lesson in private. He had to go to the auction first to see how things were going.
The border smuggling warehouse auction had always been a grand event in the warehouse auction industry. Customs and border auctions in any region would attract a large number of treasure hunters.
The last government warehouse auction organized by the Arizona Department of Public Services had attracted treasure hunters from the West Coast of the United States, especially in the southwest. This time, treasure hunters from all over the country had come.
When Li Du went out, he received a call from Magic Hand. He came over and asked if he wanted to have breakfast together.
Soon, Jesus also called, saying that he had come over with a few friends. He asked where Li Du was and wanted to find a chance to get to know him.
There were also treasure hunters from Phoenix and Flagstaff following behind him. These people also had acquaintances, so before the auction started, a social event had begun.
He went to see Jesus first. After all, Jesus had brought friends with him. He must have introduced Li Du to his friends, and Li Du had to protect his reputation.
In addition, Jesus was a reliable person, and his friends were good people worth befriending.
Jesus had already gone to the vicinity of the warehouse. Li Du drove over to take a look and could not help but frown.
It was like the Spring Festival. There was a sea of people around the warehouse. There were probably hundreds or even thousands of people attracted by the auction.
"My God, how long will it take to visit a warehouse like this?" Li Du's eyes were wide open.
Hans shrugged and said, "It's simple. They must be gambling by looking at the photos. This kind of large-scale auction is a big gamble. Those who are good at it are gamblers."
After Li Du got out of the car, there was a continuous stream of greetings.
"Hey, Big Li, Big Fox, long time no see!"
"Big Li, is there any insider news today? Can you tell us a little so we can have a drink? "
"Long time no see, Big Li, Big Fox. Want to have a drink after the auction?"
Some people did not know them and asked, "Who is this Chinese guy? He looks like a big shot. "
"The treasure hunter king who unified Flagstaff in one year and the whole of Arizona in two years. He's a very powerful guy, China Li. Have you heard of him?"
The people who heard this had a look of realization. "That's China Li? He doesn't look very powerful. "
"You'll know how powerful he is if you fight him. The Tucson gang is powerful, right? Those who opposed him have already collapsed. "
Many people were proud to know Li Du. If Li Du responded to their greetings, they would immediately straighten their chests and talk to their friends about their past with Li Du in a flat tone.
