Chapter 649 648. Finding the Culprit (25)

Li Du tilted his head to look at him, and said with a pleasant face, "Dude, you must fight against me, right? You're deliberately picking on me, right?"

Hughes spread his hands in an innocent look, and said, "No, I'm not right about people. If you think I violated you—then you come and hit me?"

Godzilla clenched his fists and wanted to attack, but Brother Wolf stopped him.

Li Du pointed at him and said, "You tried to provoke me, and you succeeded. Listen, bastard, get out of my place, I'm impatient."

The ponytail staff said: "Mr. Li, you have to clear your suspicion. Although I don't want to say it clearly, everyone here knows that you are the most suspicious."

"Why?" Li Du stared at him.

Ponytail said: "One, you drove here, and two, you harvested a lot, abnormally a lot. In Arizona, if your cow gave birth to ten calves at a time, we think you stole someone's house." Calf."

Li Du said: "Okay, you can doubt it to your heart's content, but if you want to search my safe, you have to call the police and let the police come with a search warrant."

The Indian man frowned and said, "Sir, we don't have to make such a fuss. If you didn't do it, would you help us find the perpetrator?"

Li Du sneered, "I have this obligation?"

The Indian man said: "Maybe you don't know that we have the power, if we think a tourist is a threat to the safety of the national park, then we can turn him away!"

These words hit Li Du's weakness, he was taken aback for a moment, and then began to think.

Yes, national parks have this authority, not only national parks, but other public places in the United States have this authority. If a person is considered a threat to public safety, he can be prohibited from approaching.

He can't leave here, there are countless opals waiting for him inside, according to his estimation, the value of fire opals in the entire national park is tens of billions!

If he can dig it all out, he won't have to worry about it in his life.

So he thought for a while and said, "Okay, I'm willing to help you find the mastermind behind this incident."

"It's you." A picker said in a strange way.

Li Du didn't bother to pay attention to him, and said to the Indian: "Can you take me to the place where the incident happened? I need to know what's going on."

The Indian beckoned and said, "It's my pleasure."

Following the staff, a group of people either drove or rode a motorcycle to the northwest.

The national park has a large area, not all of which are rocky beaches, some places are muddy land, and some places are rocky mountains. There are also fire opals in these places, but they cannot be mined.

The fire opal in the rocky beach can be taken out by picking up the gravel, and the opal caught in the stone in the ground or in the mountain needs to start digging a mine.

After driving more than ten kilometers all the way, another gravel beach appeared in front of them.

There are petrified jungles on the east and west sides of this rocky beach. Some petrified trees are ten meters high and one meter in diameter, like a stone tower reaching the sky, which is very spectacular.

In such an environment, even if someone was running the machine, the sound would not be heard very far.

There are some broken ore and floating stone powder at intervals on the rocky beach, which are all caused by machines.

Stephen's cousin Brende and his cousin Alicia also came, and Li Du asked them, "What is the process of finding Fire Opal through a machine?"

Brende said: "As you know, the brightness and quality of gemstones are different from ores. There are many kinds of machines that can be used for screening, such as searching for fire opal through intense light through reflection, or separating different ores through centrifuges."

"The former is generally used. The machine has a conveyor belt. People use shovels to shovel the ore onto the conveyor belt. The machine chops the ore, and at the same time, it is illuminated intensely. If there is fire opal, it can be found through reflection."

Hearing his introduction, Li Du said, "Wouldn't that destroy the Fire Opal?"

“It’s not crushed, it’s just chopped, but even chopped fire opal has value and can make a lot of money,” Brende said.

The machine chops up a large batch of ore at one time, and if no opal is found in the process, it will continue to work until the ore is crushed into fine powder before being replaced by the next batch.

This is the reason why there are a lot of stone powder here. At the same time, there are also some broken stones here, which means that they found fire opal. After finding fire opal, the machine stopped working, and then searched for the next batch of ore.

Alicia looked at the piles of ore fragments and muttered: "Damn it, they found fire opal, and not one or two, they found quite a few."

Basically, every pile of gravel represents a fire opal output.

Entering the crime scene, the Indian looked at him and asked, "Did you find anything?"

What can Li Du discover? It was a rocky beach where the cars would leave no traces, so they all knew that the offender had hidden the machine, but not where.

However, this is relative to vision, and Li Du has other means to use.

He released small flying insects, randomly found a pile of broken stones, and used the ability to reverse time.

The desolate rocky beach that first appeared in front of him was a hundred or two hundred years ago. He made rapid progress, reached the final stage, and then saw what happened last night.

Several machines were working here last night, and someone put up a big tent, and the machines were running in the tent, so that the noise and light were blocked.

What frustrates him is that some of the people working here are wearing large masks and windproof glasses, because the machine cutting gravel will produce a lot of powder, so he can't see the appearance of these people clearly.

Just wanting to watch the clipped video, he carefully watched it scene by scene.

Finally, he discovered something. Although these people were wearing masks to isolate the dust, some of them kept taking pictures of the opal they found with their mobile phones, and some of them made phone calls.

The reappeared time is very clear, and the number displayed on the big screen of the phone is also clear.

Li Du took out his mobile phone and quietly dialed to see who it was, but after entering the number, a name automatically popped up: Owen.

This was a call from Owen, a jeweler he had worked with before. Obviously, this matter was inseparable from him.

The mobile phone became the clue. This is a Samsung large-screen mobile phone, the model is Galaxy-Nexus.

The reason why Li Du is so clear is that this phone has only been released not long ago, and Samsung has been advertising it for the past few months.

So, he released small flying insects to shuttle among the pockets of everyone, specifically looking for this phone.

He first went to Hughes, firstly because Hughes had been pestering him, and secondly, this mobile phone had just been launched on the market, and the price was very expensive. In the United States, it was mainly electronic enthusiasts who would buy it.

It just so happens that Hughes is an electronics enthusiast, as can be seen from his love of playing with aircraft.
