Chapter 555 554. The World Is Too Small (3)
Li Du stood at the gate of the small garden, and Ah Ao held the fence with his front paws and continued to yell, "Aww! Aww!"
It can't get in, and the fence is very tight, probably to guard against puppies, wild cats, raccoons, big mice and the like.
Li Du carried it in, and as soon as it entered the garden, it immediately ran to the front of the kennel, opened its mouth and barked unrelentingly.
Ah Meow jumped up in the air, stepped on the fence with her limbs, stretched her body gracefully, and then fell to the ground silently. After landing, it ran two quick steps and jumped again, this time it landed on the roof of the kennel.
Hans and others surrounded him and asked, "Is this bastard here?"
Li Du tapped the kennel with his chin, and said, "Just look at Ah Ao, it's been chasing you all the time."
As he said that, he said loudly in the direction of the kennel: "Hey, buddy, come out, it's so aggrieved to hide in there, what's the point?"
It was quiet in the kennel, only Ahao whimpered.
Li Du became impatient and said, "Don't force us to call the police."
Ah Ao's character is very tough, after howling, he simply threw himself into the kennel.
Seeing this, Li Du was anxious, and shouted: "Ah, come out, Ah Miao protects it!"
If Ah Ao is an adult, then he doesn’t have to worry, the Mexican wolf treats an ordinary man like playing, but Ah Ao is only three months old, and he is still a wolf cub.
Even a wolf cub is not easy to deal with. After it rushed in, a person screamed in the kennel: "Shit, don't bite me! Get out!"
Ah Meow jumped into the kennel from the top, climbed up the fence and jumped down, and fought with the two little friends.
A young man came out of the kennel in a state of embarrassment. Hans was furious when he saw him, and he jumped over the fence to beat the young man.
Li Du stopped him. This young man didn't look like a bad guy. He was bitten by Ah Ao and Ah Meow just now, but he just cursed and didn't do anything to them.
The youth jersey was torn, and there was a big hole in the back of the shorts. He reached out and touched it, and his hand was bloody!
"Damn it, am I going to get rabies?" he wailed.
Li Du said coldly: "You deserve it, why did you steal our ball?"
The young man was surrounded by a group of big men in a small garden. He couldn't run away and had nowhere to hide, so he could only honestly admit his mistake: "I'm sorry, I like Wade so much, so I saw his signature on the ball Can't help but want to take it away."
"Do I still like Angelina Jolie? Can I take Julie away?" Hans snapped.
Ah Ao is like a lion rolling a hydrangea ball, with his front paws lying on the basketball, he stands up, pushes the basketball and rolls out.
The basketball was not damaged, so Hans quickly put away the ball and said, "Call the police?"
The young man was so frightened that he hurriedly begged: "Don't, guys, don't call the police, let me go, I'm just like you, just a basketball fan..."
"Basketball fans say they won't take the blame." Dickens shook his head.
Li Du felt that there was no need to embarrass the young people too much. First, it did not cause them any losses. Second, his motive was not to steal money. It should indeed be out of love for the idol's autographed basketball.
If the police call the police, it will be classified as a robbery case, and the youth will be miserable and will definitely go to jail.
Furthermore, if the young man hadn't snatched the ball, he wouldn't have been able to discover the full set of "National Geographic", so combining several reasons, he didn't have a lot of ill feeling towards the young man.
Seeing that Li Du didn't want to pursue his responsibility, Hans said indignantly, "Fortunately, you met me, a soft-hearted guy, go, go buy a bottle of Gatorade for each of us. Damn, for chasing You and I sweat a lot!"
The young man hurried to buy drinks, bought a whole case of Gatorade and gave it to them.
At this moment, he also realized how big a mistake he had made. Robbery is a criminal case!
With balls and drinks, they went back to play.
Later, Hans was busy contacting the Hopi tribe to sell the siege tower. The price had already been agreed, and he just needed to help them send it back to the territory.
Li Du thought that the Hopi tribe would bring a bunch of hunting knives, coffins and other things to barter this time, but what they brought was money. Obviously, they also used money, unlike the Amish people who were absolutely closed.
Selling the siege tower for $300,000, Hans went to the contact to sell these precious star-signed sporting goods.
Li Du is more interested in the magazine warehouse. The full set of "National Geographic" magazines in it is very valuable for collection. He wants to buy it for collection.
Although these magazines are in the warehouse, they are private, so he doesn't want to use small means to obtain them, but wants to buy them and buy them at a reasonable price.
The price he set for himself was one million dollars. It might be crazy to spend a million dollars on a set of books. After all, the money could buy a nice big villa in Flagstaff.
But in his opinion, this set of magazines is worth the money.
He checked online, and found that the first issue of "National Geographic" was worth 400,000 yuan. Those editions in the 19th century were also rare, and they were equally valuable. A set of books in the entire 20th century could sell for about 400,000 yuan.
Therefore, overall, he felt that one million was an appropriate price.
When he found the magazine, there was no one in the house where the warehouse belonged. He waited for a day and drove to visit. After knocking on the door, there was someone in the house this time.
Beforehand, he arranged for Luguan to inquire about the surrounding communities of the gymnasium. Luguan is a know-it-all and easily helped him get the information of the warehouse owner.
The owner of the warehouse was Chalmers Diamond, an insurance salesman.
This warehouse originally did not belong to him, but to an uncle of his, but his uncle passed away two years ago, and the house and warehouse were all attributed to Chalmers in the form of inheritance.
Li Du asked Lu Guan to check his uncle's information again. These books are very valuable, and his uncle must not be someone who can collect such a set of books.
The answer was unexpected and reasonable. Chalmers’ uncle Diamond Sr. was an ordinary old man, but he had worked in many libraries and bookstores before his death. It must be because of his work that he collected these precious magazines.
After knocking on the door, someone came to open the door and asked, "Who?"
Li Du smiled and said, "It's me, sir, hello..."
He didn't finish his sentence, and he couldn't go on with the rest.
It was a strange man who opened the door. He was gentle, with shining eyes and always smiling. He could tell that he was a smart man.
There is another person behind him, this person is gloomy, his arm is hung on his shoulder with a plaster cast, and he walks with a limp. This is his acquaintance, Dog Ear Rick!
Seeing Rick suddenly, Li Du was stunned. How could he meet this guy here? Isn't Flagstaff City too small?
Of course, Flagstaff City is very small, with only 20,000 people in a city, the chances of running into acquaintances are very high.
