Li Du looked at the Indian man and asked with a faint smile, "You searched this place? There's nothing inside? "
The Indian man did not look too good. However, seeing that Li Du was paying attention to him, he quickly recovered and said calmly, "Yes, we searched. Your dog is in the wrong place."
Li Du said, "You should know that this has nothing to do with me. This is all I can do for you."
Surgi nodded. "Thank you for your help, Mr. Li. I think you really have nothing to do with this. Otherwise, you wouldn't be so calm."
Li Du's method worked. He showed his strength and made Surgi fearful. The other party no longer dared to provoke him, knowing that he was not a pushover.
Having achieved his goal, Li Du whistled and left with Ah Ow.
Surgi said to his colleagues and the crowd of gem hunters, "There's no other way, guys. Let's call the police and let the police solve this."
Using a machine to search for gems in a national park was considered an indiscriminate exploitation of national resources, a felony in the United States. Once the police were called, not only would the police get involved, but the FBI would also get involved.
What happened next had nothing to do with Li Du. He brought his men back to make breakfast.
Hearing that they were going to call the police, the gem hunters dispersed to avoid being targeted by the police.
They did not want to become suspects. Once they became suspects, unless the criminal was found, the police would keep pestering them, and they would not be able to continue their work.
Li Du paid 5,000 dollars without batting an eyelid and chose a gravel beach near the stone hut to search for gems.
He moved the tent over but did not work. Instead, he released the little bug to keep an eye on the stone hut where the machine and gems were hidden.
The situation was not looking good for him. Surgi and the others obviously wanted to pin the crime on him.
He had to keep an eye on the machine and other physical evidence to prevent anyone from moving them. If the other party continued to provoke him, he would have to hand the evidence over to the police.
In short, he had to make sure that the evidence remained in his hands.
Surgi had found his trail. Li Du did not avoid him. He wanted to let the Indian man understand that he knew something and that they had better not force him. Otherwise, none of them would have an easy time.
After calling the police in the morning, the police arrived quickly.
Surgi did not point the finger at Li Du. The police only came over to question him about where he was last night, what he did, whether he saw anything, and so on. After the routine questioning, they did not pester him again.
These policemen came from Winslow and were small policemen from a small town. How could they have the ability to solve crimes?
After investigating for a day, they still couldn't find anything, so they handed the case over to the police station and asked for reinforcements.
Li Du had a lot of gemstones in his hands. He did not want to get into any trouble, so he wanted to take these gemstones with him.
However, he could not leave the national park at such a crucial time. Otherwise, people would think that he was guilty and cause unnecessary trouble.
Therefore, he went out in the afternoon, found a bank, and deposited the gemstones.
As usual, he worked until the wee hours of the morning before resting. As he was making supper, Ah Ow, who was lying by the campfire and waiting for her meal, suddenly twitched her ears and turned her head to look at the location of the stone hut in the east.
Li Du's heart skipped a beat. He guessed that Surgi's side would think of a way to transfer the evidence after knowing that he had discovered traces of the machine. It seemed like they were planning to make their move now.
To avoid alerting the enemy, he released the little bug to keep an eye on them.
The little bug's vision was not affected by light and could still see clearly at night.
After flying to the area of the stone hut, he saw a figure nimbly entering the hut where the machine was hidden. The little bug followed it in, and the person who appeared in front of him was a familiar face. Hughes!
After all, this matter was related to Hughes and his group. Li Du snorted coldly and stared at him, wanting to see what he was doing.
One person could not transfer the machine. What Hughes wanted to transfer were the gemstones that had not been taken away in time.
He put the gemstones into the box, and while there was no one around, he quietly slipped out and ran north with the box.
After running for more than 500 meters, he found a forest of petrified trees, took out the drone from his backpack, and flew up with the box attached.
Hughes tried hard to adjust the flight path of the drone, and finally placed the box on the largest petrified tree.
This petrified tree was about 13 to 14 meters tall and had a thickness that required two people to wrap their arms around it. Usually, no one would climb it, so it was indeed a good place to hide things.
What Li Du did not understand was why he did not take advantage of the night to send the gemstones out of the national park. After all, the national park had an area of several hundred square kilometers. It was impossible that there was no gap to send things out, right?
Hughes put away the drone, dusted off his hands, and looked around. Finally, he nodded in satisfaction and quietly left the place.
However, Li Du saw through the little bug that he did not really leave, but was hiding in a corner of the petrified forest.
Obviously, Hughes was a very cautious person. He was checking to see if he had been discovered.
After hiding in the petrified forest for more than an hour and making sure that no one was around, he left triumphantly.
The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.
After making sure that he had left, Li Du brought Ah Meow over and said to Ah Meow, "Climb up, there is a box up there. Bring it down for me."
The box could not be very heavy. Otherwise, the drone would not be able to lift it up.
The specific gravity of a gemstone like opal was 2.15, the specific gravity of iron was 7.86, and the specific gravity of gold was 19.26. From this, one could see how low the density of opal was. It was even lighter than a diamond of the same size.
He gestured to Ah Meow about the shape and characteristics of the box. Ah Meow quickly understood what he meant, and easily climbed up the towering tree. Then, with a box that was about the same size as his body, he climbed down.
Just as Li Du had guessed, the box was not heavy. Although there were many gemstones inside, they were not heavy.
After getting hold of the box, he opened it. More than forty sparkling, high-quality opals appeared in front of him.
This was the result of a whole night's work by the machine. Now, he had gotten his hands on them.
After letting Ah Meow put the box back and bringing the opals with him, he quietly returned to his own territory and waited for the arrival of a storm.
This batch of opals was worth millions. If Surgi, Hughes, and the rest found out that they were missing, they would definitely go crazy!
Thinking of this, Li Du's mind spun. He called out to Brother Wolf and said, "Go to Winslow and buy some fake opals. Do it discreetly and don't leave an impression."
Brother Wolf nodded. "Leave it to me."
Regardless of whether he was serving in the special forces or the G9, he had to learn how to go deep behind enemy lines to obtain information. He was very good at getting what he needed while hiding his identity.
