BAC stood for Blood-Alcohol-Content, which translated to blood alcohol content. In the United States, the legal BAC index for driving was 0.08, which meant that the blood alcohol content could not exceed 0.08 percent.
Frank and York were definitely over the limit. Li Du seemed to have good intentions, but in fact, he was slandering the two of them.
A male police officer came forward to pull the two of them away, but they still resisted. Frank pushed the officer and shouted, "I will cooperate with your investigation, but let me clarify the situation first. Our —"
The officer who was pushed was furious. American police were not civilized when it came to enforcing the law.
Frank's action was seen as an assault. The officer was ready to take out his gun and shouted, "Squat down! Put your hands on your head! Otherwise, I will take violent measures! "
York and Frank were frightened. They could only squat down with their hands on their heads.
Li Du squatted down beside them and said, "Why are you guys so agitated? This is the police station, not your California territory. Don't behave atrociously here! "
Frank looked at him viciously and said, "Son of a b * tch, I know, I know, this is all your doing. You are in cahoots with these three d * mn liars!"
Li Du spread out his hands innocently and said, "What are you guys talking about? This has nothing to do with me. I still don't know what happened. "
Soon, the truth was revealed.
The three men were indeed liars, but they were not simply liars. They were Taiwanese. When they were in Taiwan, they either worked in a museum or taught archaeology at a university. They knew how to appreciate antiques and relics.
After coming to the United States, their qualifications were not recognized and they could not find good jobs. Thus, they were roped in by Ma Zhi-an to help him swindle and bully his fellow countrymen.
This swindle was initiated by Ma Zhi-an. He paid special attention to the Chinese community in Arizona, looking for opportunities to make a fortune.
He had long heard of Li Du and knew that he was a rising star in the storage auction industry in Flagstaff. He had bought many luxury cars in a short period of time.
Based on this, he deduced that Li Du must have gotten a lot of valuable things from the auctions. Hence, when he met Li Du in Phoenix, he realized that his opportunity had come.
First, he worked hard to maintain his relationship with Li Du, investing his feelings and relevant information to gain his trust.
In this segment, the focus was on the Page auction. Zhang Kai, who had given Li Du useful information, was also a member of the swindle group. He was the one who had placed the fake pastel colors in the storage unit.
Zhang Kai gave this information to gain Li Du's trust, and also to lure Ma Cheng and the other two experts out.
Secondly, after he got the pastels, Ma Zhi-an would introduce the three of them to the stage, using the appreciation of the pastels as bait to carry out the fraud plan.
According to the plan, they had two purposes for appraising the pastels.
The first was to demonstrate their abilities and continue to win Li Du's trust. The second was to create a psychological gap between them, to make Li Du disappointed, and then to lure out the valuable things that he still had.
Their plan was meticulous, and the core was to win Li Du's trust. In fact, they succeeded. Li Du did trust them.
However, Li Du was too cautious and did not let them handle the antiques in his hands.
Originally, they were going to continue with their plan and stay in Flagstaff to think of ways to get Li Du's antiques. But in the end, someone called the police and arrested them.
Frank and York panicked and asked the police, "Aren't they appraisers from Christie's? What about the things they kept in the bank's safe? "
When the police heard that the matter had something to do with the bank, they took it seriously and contacted the bank early the next morning.
The result of the contact was: Flagstaff's * * * Bank said that they did not have any business with Christie's to store auction items for free, and no one from Christie's deposited anything in the bank.
Frank's temper flared up. "That's impossible, we just deposited something yesterday. Look, this is the deposit slip, and it has the bank's stamp on it!"
* * * Bank's branch had arranged for a staff member to cooperate with the investigation. Luo Qun brought the staff member to Frank and York. "This is the vault manager of * * * Bank, 95 HY Street. You guys can talk to him."
Seeing the black old man, Frank shouted, "It's not him, it's not him! He's not the one who stored the armor for us! "
The old man spread out his hands helplessly. "I'm sorry, both of you. I'm in charge of all the bank's safety deposit boxes. If it wasn't for me, you wouldn't have been able to open the safety deposit boxes and deposit the items in them. You guys wouldn't even have been able to enter the bank's safety deposit box."
York said, "We didn't enter the safety deposit box. Didn't you say that the safety deposit box and the treasury are together and not in the bank?"
The old man smiled and said, "I can't tell you where the safety deposit box and the treasury are, but they are indeed in the bank."
At this point, Frank and York understood that they had been tricked!
The two of them looked at each other, their faces filled with despair. "No! This can't be true! "" Help us investigate those three b * stards, they cheated us of our goods! "
Luo Qun said, "Don't worry, of course we'll investigate them. We're doing it now. What goods were you cheated of?"
"The Polish noble's winged cavalry armor! The silver winged cavalry armor of the noble! "Frank shouted." It's worth millions, help us find it! "
Luo Qun said curiously, "Among the things found in the car, there wasn't any winged cavalry armor."
"It's not in the car, it's in the safety deposit box! It's in the bank's safety deposit box! "Frank hurriedly added.
Luo Qun was dumbfounded. "Huh?"
Frank was furious. "Can't you get a smarter cop to come here? F * ck, I f * cking hate you d * mned Chinese! You d * mned Chinese bugs, d * mned locusts! Why didn't you stay in the East and come to America — "
York hurriedly covered his mouth. To say such words to a cop in the police station was asking for death!
He stopped Frank and said, "Ma 'am, ma' am, my buddy has mania. Please forgive him, he's having a manic episode!"
Luo Qun hated racial discrimination the most. Before Li Du had helped her, her Chinese identity had caused her to suffer in the police station.
Hence, after listening to Frank's words, she was so angry that she laughed. "Save these words for the court! Drunk driving! Assaulting a police officer! Racist insults against the police! Let me tell you the truth, you're dead meat! "
"Then what about our winged cavalry armor?" York was also angry.
Luo Qun said coldly, "Ask the prison guards when you go to prison. They'll find it for you."
York knew that he had to lower his head in front of others. He controlled his temper and said, "Ma 'am police officer, please accept our apologies. We're in the wrong. Could you please help us find what was cheated of?"
Luo Qun was very serious about her job. Although she was filled with anger, she still replied, "Of course, I'll go and interrogate them now. If they really cheated you of any armor, we'll help you get it back."
"Winged cavalry armor, the silver winged cavalry armor of the noble," York added.
