Chapter 877 Blood Boiling (2/2)

Now that he was sure of the identity of the glove and the situation surrounding these files, he knew that he must take the files and then look for Luo Qun after that.

Li Du remembered Luo Qun had said back then that the cops and FBI were helpless with this case. In the end, they did not close the case, as they had not found the killer. They did not even have a description of the killer. With this glove and these files, not only had Li Du discovered the killer's characteristics, he even knew exactly what the killer looked like.

Storage unit number ten was about to be auctioned, so Li Du joined the bidding crowd. He was determined to win this one.

He did not know how the files and evidence had ended up in this abandoned storage unit, and he could not understand how could the cops be so careless and let such important files and such important evidence of such an important case be chucked into the garbage pile.

Anyway, since he had found these things, he could not miss the opportunity.

He had focused all his thoughts on the case files, so he did not notice his surroundings. He also had not noticed that when he was walking into the bidding crowd, Conrad had followed him.

The auctioneer shouted, ”Alright, alright, I won't say the rules again. The starting price remains at 500 bucks. Anyone who is interested come forward. You may start giving me your bids. Five hundred, 500, 500…”

Li Du raised his hand and said, ”I will take it.”

Just as the auctioneer started to speak, a voiced sounded, ”One thousand bucks!” Hearing this voice, Li Du immediately frowned. He could hear whose voice that was. Conrad Anthony had also bid.

Li Du turned around and of course, Conrad was not far behind him, staring at him with icy cold eyes.

Because there was a rule in this auction that anyone who viewed the storage unit after seeing the booklet had to bid, whenever someone made a huge leap in their bid, it would make the others very upset. This rule was mainly to save time and not for trapping treasure hunters. Although everyone had to bid, it could be a small bid.

For example, when someone accepted the initial bid of 500 bucks, those who had viewed but were still not interested could bid 501 bucks, 502 bucks, and so on. The auctioneer would let everyone have a chance at bidding, so these people could bid without violating the rules, and at the same time, they could avoid getting a storage unit that they did not want.

A normal bid would always use 100 as an incremental unit. If there was somebody interested in that storage unit, then he would bid with more than 500 plus a few bucks or 500 and a few tens. The treasure hunters who were not interested would not bid again after bidding once.

If no one wanted the storage unit, then there would be no choice but to see who was the unlucky one to make the last bid. He would then have to take the storage unit. However, the price would usually be so low, it would not even reach 600 bucks. The loss would be so little that the treasure hunters could handle it.

As Conrad had suddenly increased the price to 1,000 bucks, those treasure hunters who were prepared to give up after bidding small were depressed. As they might actually win at that price, the loss would be much more than 600 bucks.

Li Du knew that Conrad was bidding just to annoy him, so he did not continue bidding. Instead, he let the other treasure hunters make their small bids. Thus, after that, they began a series of bidding at 1,001 bucks, 1,002 bucks, 1,003 bucks and so on. When these treasure hunters were off the hook after making their bids, he started bidding again. ”One thousand one hundred bucks.”
