Chapter 528: Promotional
Translator: Nyoi-Bo StudioEditor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Li Du had somehow gotten his hands on two valuable items in Tucson.
One was a Siege Tower, which could definitely be sold. The other one was eight sets of equipment from The Marine Corps. These included the individual soldier radio, which was very important and high in value too. If this could be sold, the price would be higher than the Siege Tower.
The Department of Homeland Security hadn't sent their people to identify these items, but it didn't mean they didn't take this matter seriously. In fact, they had immediately contacted the police department in Flagstaff and decided to let them do the monitoring.
It just so happened that the case was under Luo Qun.
When Li Du saw Luo Qun lead a group of people into the site, he stared at her in shock. ”Are you in charge now?”
Luo Qun was emotionless and answered him with a cold face, ”What's wrong with that?”
”I don't think there's anything wrong,” Li Du said quickly. ”I was only shocked!”
Luo Qun glared at him and said, ”Do you know how hard I've worked at this job? I should have been promoted a long time ago. But I was only leading a small team, so it wasn't a big enough deal.”
That's true, Li Du thought, I can see how hard you've worked.
Li Du seldom went back home. Whenever he did, it was always very late. However, every time he went back, Luo Qun was up researching those cases.
After Li Du had gone to bed, she was still awake and doing her research. Li Du was very impressed by her work attitude.
Although there was the saying that ”hard work pays off,” the US police department seemed like they had never heard it before. Luo Qun, as a female Chinese officer, was sometimes discriminated against by them. She worked harder than the others, but she'd gained the least, and was sometimes mistreated as well.
But now, the situation had changed. Li Du had helped her build a good relationship with her coworker; Ericsson, a white woman with a strong personality, was her current partner. Since then, the mistreatment had decreased as well.
Luo Qun was there to check on the weapons. When she started checking she became shocked. ”Where the hell did you guys get these things? Oh my, this is way too powerful—I strongly recommend that all of these be put in our police station.”
Luo Qun was a tough woman. For her to say ”too powerful” meant that these weapons were way too scary.
These weapons had once belonged to a tactics team. Besides the individual soldier radio, there were some machine guns, grenade launchers and so on. If all of these were used at the same time, they could wipe out all of Flagstaff.
Li Du wanted to speak but Hans beat him to it. ”Now, besides your team, the Department of Homeland Security, and us, no one knows that we have this stuff. I think we can all agree that it's safe here.”
They wanted to keep the weapons and equipment so that they could sell it all.
Even though the Flagstaff Police Department had no right to confiscate their stuff, they could always monitor them. Eventually, it all came down to the Department of Homeland Security.
After the checking, Luo Qun had her eyes on the real person SC equipment. She pointed at it and asked, ”Those are f*cking props right? Please don't tell me that you guys actually have real military equipment.”
”No,” Li Du said, ”they're props. Look.”
Li Du picked up an electric M16A4, recharged it and aimed at the military uniform. The light bulb on the uniform shined immediately and the vibrator reacted too.
These props were all real person CS equipment with high quality. The guns mimicked and even weighed the same as the real ones; the only difference was that the guns shot out laser beams.
When Li Du fired the gun, it let out a bang like a real one too.
Luo Qun was very interested in these props and asked, ”So these are from your cabin too?”
