When Li Du saw it, he immediately called Hans and the others out. Hans looked into the pit and quickly called the police.
There were some broken bones in the pit, which looked like the bones of a human hand. Further in were some yellowish and brown radioulnar bones. From the hand bones, it could be seen that these were human bones.
Ah Ow stayed at the side and struggled with all her might. Her little paws stretched forward in a vain attempt to snatch a bone back.
Li Du slapped her butt, and the little wolf did not dare to struggle anymore. It could only stare at the bones, feeling wronged and drooling.
Before, Li Du did not know what she was digging for, but now he knew. She had smelled the rotten smell of the bones and dug them out.
This incident alarmed the hotel. The security and management rushed to the scene, and then the security closed the garden. The hotel manager found Li Du to ask about the situation.
What could Li Du say? He told the truth. His pet dog liked to sniff and dig around, and found the bones after digging on the ground.
As for the bracelet that was with the hand bones, he could not say. Although he did not know how long the owner of the bones had been dead, it was definitely not long enough for the bracelet to break at a touch.
More than ten minutes later, the city police arrived and the scene was completely sealed off.
The forensic doctor also arrived and began to excavate the area, digging out every piece of bone and preserving it.
A thin Mexican police chief with a hooked nose came and asked the crowd, "May I ask who found this skeleton?"
Li Du pointed to Ah Ow in his arms and said, "This is my dog."
The police chief glanced at Ah Ow, then looked at Li Du and said, "Let me remind you, this is not a dog, this is a Mexican wolf. Mexican wolves are protected animals now. Can they be farmed? "
Li Du was depressed. Ah Ow had been in Flagstaff for almost two months, and few people had recognized her. They did not even know that she was a wolf. Now that she was in Tucson, she was recognized at a glance.
Hans was surprised. "This is a wolf? How can it be? Isn't this a Czech Wolfdog? "
"If you bought it according to the price of a Czech Wolfdog, then you have been cheated. But you are very lucky. The other party gave you a more precious Mexican wolf, but it is not suitable for breeding. When it grows up, it will even eat people when it is hungry," the police said.
Li Du said, "We didn't buy it. A friend picked it up. Look, it's too small. It was even smaller when we picked it up …"
The sheriff waved his hand. "I don't care. You don't have to explain to me. I'm here to investigate this case. Now, let me rephrase my question. Who was the first witness? "
Li Du said, "It's me."
The policeman said, "Then, I need to know something from you. I'm the chief of the Historic District Police Station, Brown Mackson. You can call me Officer Brown or Officer Mackson."
Li Du shook hands with him and said, "Hello, officer."
Brown Mackson was a gentleman, and bought him a cup of coffee when he inquired after him.
In fact, Li Du could not get anything out of him. Other than the bracelet that needed to be kept secret, Li Du did not find anything else.
Just like that, his idea of taking a break in the afternoon was ruined. First, the naughty children tormented him, then a corpse appeared, and it was very likely that it would lead to a murder.
In the evening, the hotel television confirmed Li Du's guess that it was a murder case, but it had been many years.
The murderer was speculated to be John Dillinger, a robber who roamed the United States in the 1930s. At that time, the United States was in turmoil and public security was very poor. John Dillinger and his gang members robbed everywhere and caused a stir.
However, the evaluation of this man has not yet been concluded. Some people think he was a murderer, a criminal robber, and some think he was a poor man's hero, who robbed the capitalists who caused social unrest in that era of economic crisis to speak for the poor.
John Dillinger roamed the United States for thirteen months, fighting with the police, and was finally arrested in Tucson.
Before his arrest, he robbed a private bank and kidnapped a female manager, a shareholder of the bank.
At that time, the police only had evidence of his robbery, but no evidence of his kidnapping. Later, the female manager was not found, so they could not charge him with this crime.
John Dillinger was released from prison in 1933, and he died in 1934. It was too short for the police to investigate the matter, and later the case became a cold case.
The place where John Dillinger was arrested in Tucson was also a hotel, but it was not the one they were staying in. It was a hotel called Congress.
At that time, the police thought that this hotel might be the place where the female manager was hidden. All kinds of investigations, all kinds of searches, really to the point of digging three feet into the ground, but still found nothing.
In the end, it was found out that John Dillinger's gang did kidnap and kill the female manager, but not in the hotel where they stayed, but in another hotel that had nothing to do with it.
The impact of this incident on Li Du was that Ah Ow became a little popular.
At that time, someone took photos and videos of him holding Ah Ow while he was being investigated. The chubby, mischievous Ah Ow was very photogenic, and looked even more charmingly naive on the television screen.
That was not all. Someone also connected the incident to the Boy Scouts' biscuit-selling activity in Flagstaff with Ah Meow and Crispy Noodles two days ago. The photos of the three little ones went viral on the Internet.
In Flagstaff, many treasure hunters called or sent him messages, asking if he had gone to Tucson to attend the auction. These people expressed all kinds of regrets that he did not bring them along.
Li Du tried to minimize the impact of these things on himself, because he was going to attend the rushed auction soon.
After staying in the hotel for a night, with a lot of rest and a lot of food, his overdrawn energy was finally replenished.
The next day, a group of people went to Red Mountain Storage Company in high spirits.
Before the auction started, a few more cars arrived. Li Du smiled bitterly when he saw them. It turned out to be Turis and the others — the Flagstaff treasure hunters had come.
After seeing him, Olly smiled and said, "We wanted to see if we could follow you and have some soup. Did we disturb you, Big Li?"
Li Du waved his hand and said, "No, you didn't disturb me. This time I left in a hurry and did not contact you. Next time there is a large storage auction, I will call you."
Hearing this, a few people clapped excitedly. Obviously, the point of following Li Du had been deeply ingrained in their minds.
There were many storage units to be auctioned, but relatively speaking, not many treasure hunters came. There were only about 50 people, and on average, almost everyone would get a storage unit.
This made Li Du feel quite strange. He said, "Such a big storage auction, why are there so few people?"
Hans said, "Because this is the Tucson Brotherhood's territory."
