Chapter 890 889. Slums (35)

His understatement caused an uproar at the scene, a group of treasure hunters were stunned, and several people asked in unison, "Are you kidding me?"

Li Du said with a smile: "Lightning Ridge in New South Wales, Australia, if you have local friends, you can get to know them. I should be a little famous in the town."

Conrad's eyes were straightened, and he shouted: "Impossible, what do you think money is? Is it waste paper? You can get it any way you want?"

Hans looked at him and said, "Whatever you say, even if you don't talk about the gem veins in Lightning Ridge, let's say that we fished black gold abalone in Tasmania. We made millions, so I won't say how much. , You won’t believe me even if I tell you.”

Even the magician was shocked: "How profitable is fishing for black gold abalone? How many millions in half a year?"

Hans introduced him to the ama, and introduced how they helped solve a child trafficking case in Australia and then received a government award to catch black golden abalone all year round.

What he didn't introduce was that Li Du was very good at locating the black gold abalone, and they found a living area of ​​the black gold abalone, and there were gem veins around the living area.

Child abduction cases can be easily found on the Internet, and information on upgrading fishing licenses from the government and the Fish and Game Bureau can also be found. These people can just check online.

In this way, Li Du and Hans completely became the stars of the party, no matter if they were members of the Million Dollar Club or the Treasure Picker somewhere, they all gathered around them and eagerly inquired about related matters.

Conrad and the head of state were extremely envious and jealous, but they could do nothing, not even the courage to question Li Du and Hans.

At this time, it is useless to question, you will only be laughed at because you can't eat grapes and say that grapes are sour.

The next day, under the leadership of Chris Bell, many treasure hunters formed a team and drove to the southern area of ​​Los Angeles.

The north-south development of the City of Angels is very uneven. The northern region is much more developed than the southern region, which can be seen from the housing prices.

Li Du had been to the southern area of ​​Los Angeles. At that time they went to Long Beach and thought it was a nice place with beautiful scenery and lots of tourists.

The place I went to this time is called Habesel, a famous slum.

Habesel is not far from Long Beach. As far as the subway is concerned, there are only two stops. Such a short distance is the difference between heaven and hell.

Galloping all the way, the car drove into Habessel.

Along the way, all Li Du saw were low bungalows, rusty colored steel tile houses, and dilapidated brick and tile wooden houses. Looking south, he could see the famous high-rise buildings in Long Beach.

When they reached Habesel, they ran into trouble, with the police blocking the road and they needed to be investigated.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Du stood on the pedals of the pickup truck and looked back and forth. Comparing the differences between the two regions, he exclaimed, "I can't believe it. Is this a city? The difference is too great."

Hans has lived in Los Angeles and knows the city very well.

"You'd be even more shocked if you were flying over Los Angeles in a plane," he said, as he tapped on Eminem's rap.

Li Du looked towards the North Pole and asked, "The north is more luxurious, isn't it? Beverly Hills is there, we've been there."

"Yeah, Beverly Hills has a bunch of big Hollywood stars. It's a high-end residential area. And then there's Malibu, the beach house area for Jewish financiers and capitalists."

Hans counted for him and said: "San Marino is simply a forest city, where you can breathe the freshest air every day. There are also Huntington Manor and Pasadena, which are very famous in the United States..."

He introduced it and shook his head: "There are countless, man, Los Angeles is like this. The name of the City of Angels is not given for nothing. Those places are where angels live. It is a paradise on earth."

The police have been blocking the road, and everyone has been unable to move forward. Of course, they are not the only ones, other vehicles and pedestrians are also blocked.

Bell went to the nearby supermarket to buy coffee and gave them to them one by one to calm their emotions.

Li Du took a cup and asked, "What's the matter?"

Bell sighed: "This is the Los Angeles Drug Enforcement Police. Habesel has a synthetic marijuana. It is cheap, and many homeless people will save money to smoke it, but it is also very dangerous. More than 30 people have been arrested. Sent to the hospital."

"It's Xinghe X," said the magician, "it's quite cheap. It's priced at RMB 1 per dose. It has attracted a large number of poor people, and smoking has become popular in many slums."

Li Du was surprised and said: "One yuan a dose, these people still have to save money to buy it? How can they be poor?"

Hans patted him on the shoulder and said, "You've been in America for a long time, but you haven't seen those hells. Really, that's hell. Anyone who enters will become a ghost."

Bell said seriously: "Our mission is to save them. Of course, we only save those souls who yearn for light."

Li Du nodded silently. He has no sense of belonging to the United States, and it is not his turn to save the people from fire and water. But someone wants to do it, and he is willing to support it.

There are some things he doesn't want to do and doesn't think he can do them successfully, but this doesn't prevent him from admiring those who work hard for it, and Bell is the one he admires.

He also admired Bell's connections. A sheriff who blocked the road was an acquaintance with him, and he came over to say hello when he found him.

The sheriff is tall and burly, with a bald head and a wide mouth, and looks somewhat similar to the famous movie star Bruce Willis.

"Hey, Chris, are you here to do something good?" the sheriff said.

Bell laughed and said, "Do what we should do, Officer Willis, what's the situation now? My buddy said you are sweeping Starlight X?"

Sheriff Willis nodded and said, "Yes, you bloody Starlight X, you'd better not come here recently, this is the hardest hit area, and there are a bunch of lunatics."

"It's just smoking marijuana, so serious?" Hans asked in surprise.

As soon as he heard what he said, Li Du knew that this guy must have sucked this stuff.

Sergeant Willis took a look at him and said, "You think this stuff is the same as what you smoked? Ha, childish, you only need to take two puffs of this stuff, and you will become irritable, nervous, Speech is slurred, vomiting, sweating and even seizures occur.”

"What's more serious is that the second-hand smoke from this thing is also lethal. One of my buddies entered a room and stayed for a while. The poor guy didn't wear a mask. He will be sent to the hospital."

"Then why do they still smoke it?" Li Du asked.

Sheriff Willis looked at him curiously, and said, "Where did this little angel come from? Haha, this is the most interesting question I've heard this year."

He paused, then asked Li Du, "You are a treasure picker just like the Holy Son, right?"

"Yes." Li Du nodded.
