Chapter 1273: 1273. Arresting People (2/5)
Chapter 1273 1273. Arrest (25)
Rhinoceros lived in Siberia an era earlier than mammoths, so sometimes ivory hunters happen to unearth rhino horns.
After being sculpted by the sun and the moon, the rhinoceros horn has become something between a fossil and an ox horn. It is not ornamental and has a faint smell. It looks like it is carved from wood.
But it is very valuable, and the unit price is much more expensive than ivory. In Myanmar, Laos, Thailand and other places in Southeast Asia, this rhino horn can be used as medicine, and the price is comparable to gold.
Digging rhino horns is more a test of luck than digging ivory. There is no experience for this, because there are too few opportunities for it to appear. Every time it appears, people get it purely by luck.
The ivory hunters didn't think that Li Du and his party found the rhino horn by luck. They seemed more targeted, especially in the afternoon when they changed places and found the remains of a mammoth.
This time with two rhino horns and two ivory, Li Du's team returned again, and today they earned more money.
Seeing this, the ivory hunters became anxious. The things that were poached were all things that should belong to them. Although they didn't know where these things were, as long as they were not poached by Li Du, they would find them sooner or later.
When Li Du went to the bar to drink again, some hunters came to him together: "Hey, sir, you are very lucky. You have found a lot of ivory recently, right?"
After looking at several people, Li Du didn't speak, but just smiled and drank.
The ivory hunters looked at each other, and someone said: "We have inquired about your background, sir, you are all rich, very rich, I don't understand why you have to come here to suffer and make small money."
Li Du finally spoke, and said, "We didn't come to dig ivory on purpose, we came to find a bastard, and we left when we found him, but it would be nice to find some ivory along the way."
Steve next to him smiled and said, "No one would think they have too much money, since it's not hot anyway."
"Who are you looking for?" Someone immediately said, "Maybe we can help."
The person next to him whispered: "Black Viper, they are looking for the Black Viper of the Prayer Gang."
"What is the Prayer Gang?" an ivory hunter wondered.
"A newly formed gang." Someone replied to him, "Black Venomous Snake created this gang. Obviously, he provoked people in the United States, and now they are looking for him."
There is no need to cover up anything. The ivory hunters are very clear that people from outside must come here for personal enmity, so they are united, because most of them come to Siberia to survive after causing trouble.
In addition, there are some people who earn their living by digging ivory. They have not committed crimes or caused troubles, and they come to this job simply because they make more money.
Knowing Li Du's real purpose, the ivory hunters left.
They have rules and cannot help outsiders deal with their own peers. Instead, they have to lend a helping hand when the peers need it.
Li Du continued to dig ivory in the surrounding tundra. It seems that because he became more and more experienced in using the machine, he dug out more and more ivory here, and he could dig four, six or even eight ivory every day.
Now the ivory hunters are in a hurry. What Li Du has poached during this period is a total amount that they couldn't dig out in the past year!
Moreover, they saw that Li Du's machine was running, a steady stream of ivory was found, and pits were dug one after another in the tundra, and all the ivory inside were dug out.
This thing is not a renewable resource. Once it is poached, they will never get it again.
Finally, some ivory hunters couldn't take it anymore. At the end of March, Li Du received a text message with an address: Room 4002, 56 Admiral Street.
Admiral Street is a main road in Kalyansko. No. 56 is a hotel, next to the local government and police station, which is a golden location.
Li Du had read this information, so he called Brother Lang and others, and asked him to go to Room 4002 of the hotel at night to check what was going on.
When the news came back that night, Brother Wolf handed him a series of photos. Through the window, he caught a figure of a person, Jonas Malone!
So far, Li Du's plan has succeeded.
This is Jonas Malone's home court. He has lived in the local area for more than ten years, and he must have made friends with many people. In addition to the ivory hunter's mutual aid agreement, it will be difficult for Li Du and others to catch him on their own.
He is like a fish in water locally, once he finds out that someone is looking for him, it is too easy for him to hide.
It is difficult to find him purely by money. Ivory hunters are determined enough that they will not betray their peers for money. Unless the other party offers a big price that they cannot refuse, and they successfully immigrate after doing so, otherwise they and their families will die. punished by peers.
But hunters ultimately depend on mammoth ivory to survive, and if the industry is destroyed, the means by which they and their families depend will be lost.
Li Du's existence threatened their industry, some of them couldn't bear it, and finally helped Li Du.
The key to the matter is not money, but survival.
If Li Du was conditional on money, then the hunters could still survive without helping Li Du; but now Li Du is conditional on the health of the industry, if the hunters do not help him, they will not be able to survive.
After receiving the news, Li Du began to deploy the plan.
The next day, he still went out to dig ivory freely. Of course, these ivory were dug out from the source lake of Shiquan Tunguska River.
In the early hours of the night, Xiaocheng fell into sleep, and under Brother Lang's arrangement, an arrest plan was launched.
First, a pickup truck drove to a certain location downstairs in the hotel, and then Brother Wolf led people to take Ah Ao and Ah Miao up to the fourth floor to find Room 4002.
Big Ivan skillfully unlocked the door, and the firecrackers cut off the hotel's electrical wiring, and the whole hotel was suddenly plunged into darkness. Immediately, Brother Wolf led someone to open the door, and entered with an infrared night vision device.
It was difficult to push the door open. There was something blocking the door, and an alarm bell was placed on the door. If the door was forcibly opened, the alarm bell would ring.
But the alarm bell needs power support. At this time, the wires have been cut, and there is no power supply, so the alarm bell is useless.
In addition, there was a big dog inside, and it roared as soon as the door was pushed, and the sound was particularly penetrating in this silent night.
Ah Ao rushed in, knocked the big dog to the ground at once, tearing and biting the big dog so frightened that the big dog shrank to the ground and screamed incessantly.
There were two people living in the room, and they were sleeping soundly on the bed, even though there was some noise when the door was pushed open, they didn't wake them up.
Their dinner was ordered from outside, and Brother Wolf added some narcotics and tranquilizers to the meal, which were much more powerful than sleeping pills.
