Chapter 471 470. Donate (4)
For Ball and York, something tragic happened.
Ma Cheng and the others refused to admit that they had defrauded Boer and the others. They insisted that all the defrauded items were in the car, and that they had been with Li Du and the others since they came to Flagstaff City.
Bohr and others could not produce valid evidence. When they took out the stored goods from the First Financial Bank, the three did not follow, so the bank could not testify for them.
They have a fake registration document in their hands, but there is no information about the three people in that document, and it cannot be evidence that the three people defrauded them.
Ma Cheng’s death has nothing to do with the two of them. They know very well that they are indeed fraudsters now, but because they did not cause actual losses to the treasure hunters, according to US law, they have no major responsibility.
But if he admitted that he had defrauded Bohr and others, it would have caused an accomplished loss, and he would be severely sentenced after going to court.
The difference between the two is that if they don't admit the accusation of Pole and York, then they are just an attempted fraud, because they didn't take away the things of the treasure hunters in Flagstaff City.
Once admitted, they are unable to help the police recover the lost things, that is, they have been convicted of fraudsters.
In this case, the three of them would not admit it as long as they were not stupid.
The troubles of Pol and York did not stop there. They and Ma Cheng were sent to court together with more charges than the three: drunk driving, attempted assault on the police, abusing law enforcement officers, racial discrimination...
When Li Du heard Luo Qun's words, his mouth was wide open. He just wanted to deal with the other party, let them back out of difficulties, leave Flagstaff City and return to California, and don't make trouble for him here.
In the end, the two committed suicide by themselves, and it was fine to drive drunk. They even attacked the police and insulted Luo Qun at the police station.
Li Du told Hans about this, and Hans said, "What am I talking about? That bastard will be ruined by his character sooner or later!"
"It seems that the boss said this?" Godzilla wondered.
Hans said cheekily: "Li said it, but I said it too."
Li Du said: "I feel a little guilty in my heart, aren't we going too far?"
Hans sneered and said, "We went too far? They are courting their own death! But you are amazing. How did you see that your three compatriots have problems? You even set up a trap for Boer and York to get in?"
Li Du said: "Don't you know how accurate I am? They still want to cheat me, this is courting death!"
The chest opened and a suit of armor appeared in front of them.
This set of armor gleamed silver all over. It belonged to chain mail and was split into several pieces, including the helmet body, helmet, gloves, leggings, etc., all made of silver metal.
To match this set of armor, there are also some silver tubes. These tubes can be linked together. After Godzilla and Dao assembled it, a three-meter-long hollow spear appeared.
"Dragon cavalry gun!" Hans said excitedly after picking it up with difficulty, "This thing must be a dragon cavalry gun. It can't be silver all over, right? No wonder it's worth hundreds of thousands of dollars!"
Looking at this set of antique armor and weapons, Li Du pondered for a while and said, "We can't keep this thing, we have to dispose of it."
Hans looked at him in surprise: "Are you kidding? Why can't you keep it?"
Li Du said: "Man, everyone knows that Pole and York have harvested a set of silver armor. We can't sell them, otherwise everyone will guess that we are playing tricks."
Hans said nonchalantly: "So what? Let these speculations go to hell!"
Li Du said: "We still need to rely on this industry to make money, a lot of money, so we must have a good reputation."
Hans shrugged and said, "Whatever you say, anyway, this armor is your trophy, not our common property, but I suggest you keep it, even if you collect it."
Seeing that he liked it very much, Li Du asked, "Do you want to keep it? If you like it very much, I will give it to you."
Hans quickly waved his hands and said, "That's not what I meant, brother, don't get me wrong."
Li Du said: "No, I didn't misunderstand you, I'm serious, if you like this thing, then you can keep it."
Hans was tempted, but after careful consideration, he said dejectedly: "No, if someone finds out that this armor is in my hands, then I won't be able to work in this industry."
Hearing this, Li Du could not bear to beat him up anyway, the guy just encouraged him to stay so hard, but he didn't dare to stay when it was his turn.
This suit of armor is valuable, but it's hot, it's stolen goods, and it's a bomb in private hands.
However, Li Du had already figured out how to deal with it. This bomb could be turned into a grenade, which could be used to protect himself when he needed it.
Hans went to sell hunting knives and handicrafts from the Hopi reservation, while he waited until Sophie got off work to pick her up and asked, "Sophie, is your father a professor of history?"
The female doctor nodded heavily and said, "Yes, do you want to study history?"
Li Du smiled and said, "I want to study, but not now. Since your father is a professor of history, he should be familiar with the Flagstaff City Museum? I want to donate a collection to the museum."
Americans have money and leisure, so they learn from Europeans. The whole nation loves art and collections.
As soon as Li Du came to the United States, he discovered that parents and schools here pay great attention to cultivating children's artistic aesthetic ability. Even at the university, many schools list the history of art as a compulsory course.
In this case, scholars and professors who study art have a relatively high social status in the United States. Therefore, Americans have a high overall art appreciation ability, and participation in art activities is also one of the main entertainment activities for many Americans.
There are many art museums in large and small cities in the United States, and many cities also regularly hold art festivals, displaying contemporary art and classical art, and matching them with song and dance performances.
Not only cities, but even villages and towns will set up a museum. Li Du saw this in the process of participating in the storage auction.
Against such a background, the collection industry is blooming everywhere in the United States. Many people participate in the collection, and many people contribute their collections to the local museums.
For most people, collecting is not about making money, and the things they collect are not necessarily all particularly valuable things.
There are two main purposes for ordinary Americans to engage in collections. One is to cultivate their sentiments and improve their aesthetic ability, and the other is to serve the society and do their part, that is, to donate the collections to museums.
American museums mainly rely on this method to replenish their collections. They don't have a lot of money to buy collections everywhere, and they mainly rely on donations from everyone.
Li Du decided to donate this set of silver armor to the Flagstaff City Museum, which would solve the pursuit of Ball, York and the police, and also earn him a lot.
Among them, the latter is very important!
