Chapter 649: An Unusual Discovery

The little bug flew into Hughes's pants pocket and found a mobile phone in there.
It was not a Samsung phone, but an Apple iPhone instead.
The little bug continued to fly upwards into Hughes's shirt pocket, and found another mobile phone—it was also an Apple iPhone.
It appeared that Hughes was not the one using machines to excavate the gems. Keeping a straight face, Li Du continued his search for the mobile phone.
There were not many people present, so it was not difficult to conduct the search.
The little bug had searched all the gem hunters' pockets but had not found a single Samsung mobile phone. Obviously, based on this, the person responsible was not a gem hunter.
He was perplexed. Could it be that the person who used the machine last night is not here?
This would be unusual. The person probably wouldn't make his escape until traces of the crime had been found. He would stay to observe things and gather news.
Those remaining were the security officers and staff members. Li Du had no choice but to have the little bug search their pockets.
As a result, the discovery was made.
Upon entering the pocket of the Indian man, the little bug saw a large Samsung big-screened smartphone. It was the newly released Galaxy-Nexus in black—which was exactly the feature that had appeared during the time reversal.
Seeing this, he frowned. This would not be an easy matter to resolve if the staff of the National Park was involved.
He had found the mastermind of the incident, but he had no evidence. Furthermore, it would be tricky trying to pin the blame on him without offending him—he had to maintain a low profile.
After wandering around for a while, he pretended that he had discovered nothing and shook his head in frustration. ”I would like to help you find out the truth, but I can't find any evidence.”
In this case, he had chosen to maintain the peace and avoid trouble. It was the staff of the National Park who had been responsible for this—possibly not just the Indian man, but other employees as well.
Li Du couldn't risk offending them even if he wanted to be heroic. They possessed the authority to refuse him entry into the National Park. It would be a terrible thing if he were barred.
With the sheer number of fire opals in the National Park, it wasn't necessary for him to compete with the staff. They could keep clear of each other and find their own ways to make money.
He could try to find ways to out the Indian man and the other staff involved, but what good would it do him?
Even if the employees of the National Park were not birds of the same feather, they enjoyed close relationships. If Li Du were to expose the Indian man, his colleagues would feel equally offended.
These people could always slap some false accusation on him and prohibit him from entering the National Park. His loss then would be really too great.
Li Du had decided to appear weak, but Hughes and others didn't let things rest. The group of them stared at him and accused him of being a criminal.
”Of course you can't find any evidence, it was done by you. Would you provide evidence and get yourself into trouble?”
”I think this time he came here to destroy evidence. Surgi, you've made a mistake by bringing him here.”
”Let's call the police, and let them investigate this guy. He's destroying the national park.”
Surgi's attitude toward Li Du also worsened. ”You're the biggest suspect for this matter. Sir, don't make me hand you over to the police!”
Seeing them act aggressively, Li Du was furious and decided to teach them a lesson.
The national park might be large, but it was surrounded by a long stretch of wall. Surgi and his gang had just used a machine to search for fire opals the previous night and hadn't yet moved it.
