In order to determine the true identity of these metal plates, Li Du used the ability to turn back time and read some of the content.
The police guessed wrong. Dan Cooper was not the veteran from the Vietnam War they were looking for. He was actually a police officer!
And the police officer did not do the hijacking himself. The captain and the female flight attendant who contacted him on the plane were his partners, and the female flight attendant was the police officer's lover.
Both the police and the captain had access to the information about the gold. They worked together to formulate the plan and carried it out successfully.
There was a detail that these people had not mentioned before. The police found a cigarette butt, which was confirmed to belong to Dan Cooper.
The cigarette butt contained his saliva, which could be identified for DNA. As a result, the police accidentally lost the cigarette butt.
The police were not so careless, but they had a mole, and they did not find it.
The three of them were not happy after they got the gold. They did not expect the case to become so big. They would be watched by the FBI all the time and had no chance to spend money at all.
The captain and the flight attendant could not touch the gold, so they had to leave it to the police.
Through internal channels, the police found out about the attention of this case. They understood that they couldn't sell the gold in the country, so they used the super ductility of gold to press it into pieces. They modified a Ford Mustang and stuffed the gold into the cracks of the car.
He wanted to use his connections to send the car to Mexico, sell the gold in Mexico, and then emigrate, taking his girlfriend and the captain far away.
But then there was an accident. Li Du did not know exactly what happened. He only knew that the police drove the car to the border and put it in the warehouse.
The warehouse had been closed for more than 40 years. Occasionally someone opened it, but no one thought that the car would contain the gold lost in the biggest hijacking case in American history!
During this period, some people noticed that the car had been refitted. They also thought that there was something fishy about the modified car appearing at the border, but after searching the car, they found nothing.
Only the police knew where the gold was. Even the captain and the flight attendant did not know, let alone the others …
Now, everyone knew where the gold was. A layer of gold that had been carefully pressed and flattened was uncovered. Someone brought an electronic scale to weigh it.
The final result was 118 kilograms of gold, a full 118 kilograms. There was a difference from the 120 kilograms that the bank reported lost, but the difference was not big. It was possible that the robbers had taken out two kilograms to sell.
"118 kilograms. According to the current gold price, one ounce of gold is 1560.09 US dollars. How many ounces of gold is 118 kilograms?"
"About 3806 ounces."
"How much does it cost?"
"593 million USD, about 6 million USD!"
Hans kicked the car with all his might. He waved his fists and roared at the sky, "Six million dollars! Guys, worship us, we made six million dollars this time! "
Li Du was affected by his excitement and became more excited. He smiled and said, "This is just the gold. We still have cork flooring and other gains. Altogether, we have at least seven million dollars!"
Hans took off his jacket and jumped into the car. Standing on the car, he raised his head and howled at the sky.
A large number of treasure hunters came over and asked, "What happened? What happened here?"
"Gold! Someone found a lot of gold!"
"Oh God, what a lucky bitch!"
"It's not ordinary gold, it's DB- Cooper gold!"
"Are you talking about the gold that disappeared in 1971? They've appeared? Now they're worth more than six million USD, man! "
The local Nogales police station quickly rushed over. The border police department also rushed over to take control of the situation and identify the gold.
Some media also came after hearing the news. The DB- Cooper gold robbery was very famous in American history. Many people were interested in its whereabouts. This was big news.
The police first investigated Li Du and Hans to see if they had anything to do with the case.
This involved the ownership of the gold. If they had anything to do with the case, the gold would be confiscated and the two of them would be held responsible.
However, if they had nothing to do with the case, then according to American law, private property was inviolable, and the gold would belong to them.
With the media watching, Li Du was not afraid of the police doing anything. The gold would definitely belong to them. If the police acted rashly, the warehouse auction association would not allow it.
Four or five reporters came to look for Li Du. Li Du pushed Hans out. He liked to be in the limelight, so he could deal with the media.
Hans said confidently in front of the media, "Who would have guessed that the legendary DB- Cooper gold was in a warehouse of the border agency? When we bought it, we were aiming for this car. As you can see, this car has been modified. We think there are some valuable contraband hidden in it. You know, there are often cars like this at the border, right? "
A reporter asked, "You mean, the border agency has something to do with the gold? No one would think that gold would appear in the country's judicial administration, right? "
Hans quickly shook his head. "No, no, no, I didn't mean that. You misunderstood me …"
Li Du saw Hans scrambling to deal with the reporters' language traps and smiled proudly. Doesn't this guy like to be in the limelight? This time, let him be.
He had other things to do, so he waved to Brother Wolf and the others and said, "Follow me."
The Anthonys had not left yet. They were all staring at the car and the gold plate that the police were examining.
Li Du asked, "Hey, guys, what are you looking at?"
George smiled stiffly and said, "Congratulations, Li. I'll stay here to congratulate you. You're really a good guy …"
Li Du waved his hand politely. "What's the big deal? How is this good? It's just that I was lucky. You also wanted this warehouse, right? But I persisted until the end. "
Speaking of this, George was so angry that his heart ached.
He had also seen the modified car and guessed that there was something valuable in it. However, Li Du's bid was too high. He felt that the price was not worth the risk.
Driver looked at Conrad and said, "Hey, Little Boss, don't fire your men. They may inadvertently create a lot of value for you."
Conrad turned his head to the side and clenched his fists as if he was about to explode.
Li Du left with his men. Conrad stared at his back with jealousy and gritted his teeth. "This lucky b * tch!"
George looked puzzled. "That's not right. His bid was wrong. He was too confident, as if he knew there was something valuable in this warehouse!"
Conrad said dejectedly, "That's impossible. His eyes don't have X-ray vision. He just got lucky."
George shook his head and said thoughtfully, "No, it's not that simple. Looks like I underestimated him. I have to keep an eye on him and analyze what's going on!"
