Both Surgi and Hughes were also interrogated by the police.

America's crime rate was ranked one of the highest in the world. Elites within the state police were not to be trifled with. After investigating the crime scene, they confirmed the nature of the crime: internal and external collusion.

The state of Arizona was extremely strict in regards to the management of the national park. Even though the area of the national park was huge, the whole place was surrounded by fences. If machines were to be brought in, the only way was to go through several front gates.

The ore excavators could not be hidden and brought inside due to their large size and the security guards controlling every gate. The only way was to place them in the trunks of trucks.

As such, the police determined that without coordinating with the staff or security guards, the machines could not have been brought into the park.

Taking this point into consideration, Li Du was not very suspicious. Even though he drove a pickup truck into the park, every vehicle search was recorded in a register.

The register showed that his pickup truck did not carry any suspicious items and so, he was innocent.

The investigators from the state police left in the evening. Inside the park's office, the employee with a ponytail banged a table and flared up. ”F*ck those idiots! What are they going on about? They think we committed the crime? Giving us trouble?”

Surgi, who was very calm, said, ”Bonner, my mate, quiet down a little. This is the duty of the police. Since we have already called the police, we should assist them.”

The employee with a ponytail was very upset and bellowed, ”But you heard them speaking to us in a tone used for interrogating criminals! They are convinced that we are the culprits!”

Surgi responded, ”Let them suspect us, then. They carry out their duties, we carry out ours. Come, let's patrol the park for a while before we get off work.”

Both of them boarded an electric-powered car and drove speedily into the park's premises.

When the car passed by the small stone hut, Surgi looked into the distance at Li Du, who was picking at some rocks on the ground, and his mood darkened.

Li Du also saw him and sent the little bug over.

As such, Surgi's gloomy expression was seen clearly by him, while his own expression would definitely not be seen by Surgi since he was still far away.

The car didn't stop here and continued driving before entering the territory of Hughes's group.

Seeing the state police currently interrogating Hughes and the others, Surgi stopped the car.

The employee with a ponytail asked, ”What's the matter?”

”Nothing. I have to go ask Hughes some things later. Ask him what the state police said to them. I think those b*stards probably don't feel too friendly towards us.”

”Definitely not friendly,” the employee with a ponytail responded unhappily. ”A bunch of b*stards who only know how to take taxpayers' money!”

As the state police needed to interrogate every gem hunter, which would require a lot of time, they did not spend too much time in Hughes's territory and left after a short interrogation.

After waiting for the state police to leave, Surgi alighted the car and walked to Hughes.

Hughes went over to receive him. ”Hey,” he whispered, ”why did you come over at this time? Did you not see those blue skin dogs are still close by?”

”I'm here to chat with you. Would the police care about that?”Surgi coldly asked.

Hughes shrugged. ”Who knows? Don't use that tone with me—I didn't leak anything just now. Those blue skin dogs definitely didn't get anything from me.”
