Such a big auction would naturally have surveillance cameras, but Li Du and Zhong Da Pao's status did not allow them to be monitored. The Myanmar police would not have mobilized the surveillance cameras for an unknown person.
After leaving the venue, Li Du looked outside. There were more and more vendors. The inside of the venue was like a market, but the outside had really become a market. Countless food trucks appeared on the street, blocking the street.
It was mealtime, and these food trucks were there to earn business from the owners. The annual public auction was Hpakant's New Year's celebration and promotion. Those who attended the auction were rich bosses. They spent money like water and liked to give tips. Their money was the easiest to earn.
Li Du went to the intersection to find Brother Wolf and asked, "Have you seen Da Mao?"
Brother Wolf shook his head. "No, Da Mao is missing?"
Li Du said, "Yes, he is not in the venue. I guess he was taken out."
Brother Wolf whistled and gathered a group of bodyguards. "Show me the installed surveillance cameras. Boss, can you confirm the approximate time?"
Zhong Da Pao was overjoyed. "You installed surveillance cameras here?"
Brother Wolf said, "Two cameras to collect information, just in case."
The Markelov brothers copied the video data from the car's hard drive and transferred it to the computer. They searched carefully.
They started searching at half past eight. After more than ten minutes, Liu Zi pointed to the screen and said, "Here, can you zoom in? This is Da Mao! "
The equipment was simple and crude. There was no magnification function, so they played the video frame by frame in slow motion. Fortunately, the footage was still clear, and they confirmed Da Mao's identity.
Da Mao's appearance had changed a lot. He was wearing a baseball cap and a loose T-shirt. If it were not for the fact that he sometimes looked around and allowed the camera to capture his face, it would have been difficult to identify him from any other angle.
If Da Mao's identity was not easy to determine because of the change of clothes, then the people next to him were still the same as when they met Li Du and the others.
Li Du's guess was right. Master Dao and his men had kidnapped Da Mao. The two people next to Da Mao were Lu Dayou and Xiao Liao!
"F * ck them!" Liu Zi was furious. "We can't run away. D * mn it, should we go straight to their lair and kill them?"
Zhong Da Pao said, "Call for help. I'll go and ask someone about the situation."
Li Du stopped him and calmly analyzed, "Tell me, why did these people take Da Mao away? Damao didn't provoke them, did he? "
"No, why would Da Mao provoke them?"
Li Du continued, "So it's obvious that they're taking revenge on me. Actually, the reason is me. I cheated them of a lot of money, and they want to get it back."
"They definitely didn't kidnap Da Mao and then ask us for ransom. They wouldn't dare to do that. Otherwise, the police and you would kill them."
"In this way, they knew that taking Da Mao away would infuriate you and even lead to a lawsuit, but why did they dare to do it? They're not afraid of you? Also, what was the point of taking Da Mao away? They wanted money, so they took Da Mao away. How can money be equated with Da Mao? "
A series of questions were thrown at him, and Zhong Da Pao was a little dazed. However, he had been able to survive in Hpakant for so many years not just because he was not afraid of death. He was also quite a scheming person.
Hearing Li Du's question, he said, "They must be afraid of us. They're just a few liars. It's easy for me to deal with them. They still dared to do this. They either found someone to back them up, or they're ready to run away immediately. Otherwise, if I catch them, I'll kill them! "
"As for money, Da Mao has the ability to gamble on stones. They could have taken Da Mao away to gamble on stones. No, that doesn't make sense. Now the people who gamble on stones are all at the auction. If they want to earn money from Da Mao, they have to come to the auction, and not leave this place … "
Li Du helped him summarize, "That is to say, the biggest possibility is that they took Da Mao away and sent him to someone. That person can protect them and even give them a sum of money to thank them."
"There's no need to go to their nest. It'd be a waste of time. They probably didn't go back, but took Da Mao directly to see someone. Think about it, other than the King of Hpakant, who else would be so interested in Da Mao?"
Zhong Da Pao gritted his teeth and said, "Xie Lao Hou!"
Hearing this, Li Du immediately thought of the few people he had met in the morning. He said, "Xie Lao Hou? The person who quarreled with you this morning, right? "
Zhong Da Pao nodded with a gloomy face. "Yes, a few days ago, he went to look for me. He wanted to borrow Da Mao, but I scolded him away. He said outside that he would definitely take Da Mao under his command. F * ck, looks like it wasn't a chance encounter this morning. I was wondering how it could be such a coincidence. I actually went in with that b * stard! "
Li Du said, "He was the same as us, staying in the auction hall. If those swindlers wanted to hand Da Mao over to him, the place where they met would definitely not be far from here. Xie Lao Hou did not bring Da Mao into the auction hall, which means that Da Mao might not have fallen into his hands yet. "
"The swindlers are small characters, and no one pays attention to them. Xie Lao Hou should be a big shot, right? Someone would definitely notice where he went, right? Go and find the owner of the three-wheeler and ask about this. "
There were too many stalls around, and there was too much traffic. Cars could not enter, and they could only travel by tricycle. Hence, Xie Lao Hou left the auction hall either on foot or in a tricycle.
Zhong Da Pao walked around and asked a few tricycle owners. Very soon, he found out where Xie Lao Hou had gone.
"KAK Hotel. Xie Lao Hou went to KAK Hotel. He went there not long ago, and came out less than half an hour ago," Zhong Da Pao said.
A group of them hired a tricycle, and a fleet of cars rumbled over.
On the way, Li Du asked, "What's up with this Xie Lao Hou? He's Chinese, right? "
Zhong Da Pao shook his head and said, "No, he's from Myanmar. That's his name, not a nickname or anything. His surname is Xie Lao."
Li Du raised his eyebrows. This guy's parents were really good at naming him. They actually had a single character, 'Hou.'
Actually, this was quite common. Myanmar and the surrounding countries all believed in the Monkey God. Animals like monkeys were also quite common in the rainforest. They represented intelligence, health, and intelligence, and many people would use monkeys as their names.
Zhong Da Pao introduced Xie Lao Hou to Li Du. He was the owner of a field. Now that the field had been taken back by the country, the ownership belonged to the country. However, the management rights had been contracted out. Some big shots were the owners of the field in name, but in actual fact, their strength and wealth were not as good as before.
The field was made up of many fields. Naturally, the fields had also been taken back by the country. The treatment of the owners of the fields was not as good as the owners of the field, and their income was not as good as before.
In the past, the owners of the fields only sold their stones. Now, they were also in the business of gambling on stones. They were in a favorable position, and they would buy the stones that were dug out from their own fields or the fields around them.
In this process, they needed the help of experts to appraise the stones. Hence, the people who gambled on stones were a rare commodity to them!
