Many countries around the world banned the sale of mammoth ivory and its related products, but there were no such restrictions on mammoth ivory.
The ban on the ivory trade was to protect the existing elephants. Mammoths had been extinct for tens of thousands of years, so there was no problem of protecting them.
Therefore, although the police car drove over, Hans was not nervous.
The car stopped, and two policemen got out. One of them shone a flashlight on them and said, "Sir, you're not allowed to park here. Take out your driver's license — oh, you're Rose's friend?"
The policeman who spoke was a brown-haired white man. Li Du remembered his name was Capote, so he said, "Hello, Officer Capote. Yes, I'm Officer Rose's friend, Li. We'll leave now."
Capote was one of the police officers who had apologized to Rose. Li Du didn't want to spend any more time with him. Capote definitely didn't have a good impression of him.
He guessed correctly. Capote took his and Hans' driver's licenses and looked at them. He said to his partner, "Go check if there's any contraband in the car."
The other policeman answered. He shone his flashlight on the car and said, "Hey, buddy, stop them. There's a problem."
Hearing this, Capote immediately put his hand on his waist, where he had a gun.
Hans explained, "Don't be nervous, officer. I know what you want to say. That's not ivory behind the car, it's mammoth ivory —"
"Shut up! Squat on the ground! "Capote interrupted him loudly." Squat on the ground and put your hands where I can see them! "
"D * mn it!" Hans cursed.
Li Du said, "I said we should run."
Hans suddenly went crazy and shouted, "Okay, okay, I know, I should have listened to you, okay? I should have listened to you! You're Big Li, who am I? I'm Little Fox, okay? Next time, just say whatever you say, okay?! "
Li Du spread his hands and said, "Don't be like this, brother. You know that's not what I meant."
Ah Meow ran over and rubbed his head against Hans's hand. He meowed softly, "Meow, meow."
Hans took a deep breath and said, "Wow, good boy, Ah Meow is a good boy. Sorry, Li, I can't control my emotions. "
"You know I don't care. Don't worry, we can leave after they investigate the situation."
The two policemen didn't know what was going on. Capote came over and said, "Gentlemen, I announce that you are under arrest for transporting illegal trade goods. Now get in the police car and call your lawyer."
"My taxes are all used to feed idiots!" Hans scolded.
Capote frowned and pointed at him. "What did you say?"
Li Du stood between the two of them and pushed Hans away. At the same time, he turned to Capote and said, "This is a misunderstanding, officer. My friend is a little agitated. Our lawyer will talk to you later."
They got into the police car and were taken away. The two people and the cat, along with the pickup truck, were sent to the police station.
Li Du said, "Call the lawyer."
Hans said helplessly, "Where's the lawyer?"
"F * ck, are you kidding me? Don't you Americans have private lawyers?"
"F * ck me too. Have you watched too many Hollywood movies? Only the rich have the money to hire a private lawyer. We'll just wait for the appointed lawyer from the police station. "
The lawyer didn't come, but Rose, who was dressed casually, arrived first.
"Old Li, what's going on? Alison said you guys were arrested. I thought she was joking, "Rose said.
Li Du smiled bitterly through the bars. "We got some mammoth ivory from the auction. It's not illegal. But your colleague's opinion is different from ours."
Rose nodded calmly and said, "I know, it's fine. But you guys have to stay here tonight. What do you want? Food and drinks? "
Hans leaned against the wall and looked at the two of them. "Yo, what a sweet couple."
Rose looked at him coldly and said, "I've changed my mind, Li. What do you want for yourself?"
"What about me?" Hans was dumbfounded.
"You need to watch your mouth," Rose said and walked away.
She then took a cup of coffee and some fried chicken. Hans snatched them away and happily ate and drank.
The problem now was whether the ivory in the truck was illegal. The next day, Rose came over and said, "The animal products expert is here. He will do an appraisal and it will be fine soon."
Li Du smiled. "Thank you."
Rose left him a cup of coffee. Hans reached out and snatched it away.
"Sh * t, it's hot!" There was a scream.
After about an hour, Capote came over and opened the door to let them out. He said lazily, "Alright, you guys can go now."
Hans touched his nose and said, "Go? How? "
Capote said, "After the appraisal, your ivory is not prohibited. You guys are lucky that you didn't do illegal business."
Li Du waved his hand to tell Hans not to be impulsive. But Hans was stubborn. He said, "Don't worry, Li, I'll help us get revenge today!"
"Officer, listen, I'm a taxpayer — a taxpayer with no criminal record! You chose to lock me up even after I gave you a reasonable explanation. This is an abuse of power. I will definitely sue you! "
Capote shrugged. "You're not the first person to say this to me. I'll wait for your lawsuit. But next time you see my police car, run faster."
Li Du looked at him calmly. Then, he released the little bug and let it fly into Li Du's pocket to take a look.
Nothing was found. He controlled the little bug to fly into Capote's desk drawer. When he sent them over last night, he had already memorized Capote's office location.
The drawer was a mess. There were many bills and hotel cards. Li Du looked at them, and his gaze became more and more strange.
Capote's hair stood on end. He pushed the two of them impatiently and said, "Don't disturb my work. D * mn it, get out of here!"
Instead of retreating, Li Du moved closer to Capote and said in a low voice, "Let's go to the Muse Hotel. I heard that there's a beautiful waitress there who charmed a police officer."
Hearing this, Capote's eyes widened. He grabbed Li Du's arm and said, "What the f * ck did you say?"
Li Du shrugged. "Nothing. You know I've become friends with some reporters from ABC TV. They're happy to report on the police and cheating."
Capote gritted his teeth and whispered, "F * ck, how did you know?"
Li Du said, "Know what? I don't know anything. But we treasure hunters have a lot of friends and informants. Sometimes they'll spread some gossip. "
Capote clenched his fists. His gaze was murderous.
Li Du did not care and turned to leave. Seeing this, the police officer pulled him back and said, "What do you mean?"
"Nothing. Your wedding ring is beautiful," Li Du said with a bright smile.
Capote also smiled. He said, "Very good, buddy. You win. Tell me, are you willing to clear up the misunderstanding between us?"
Li Du pointed at Hans and said, "You knew that it was mammoth ivory last night. It's because I offended you that you wanted to take revenge on us. My friend got into trouble with me. I need your apology to make him happy. "
Capote swallowed his anger and smiled. "I promise, I apologize."
