Chapter 1140 Commotion (1/2)

At that point, Li Du wanted to ascertain the true identity of those metal plates. Hence, he

used his time reversal ability to learn more.

The FBI's conjecture had been incorrect. Dan Cooper was not the Vietnam War veteran

that they had been looking for. He was actually a policeman!

Moreover, he had not hijacked the plane by himself. The captain and the flight attendant

who interacted with him on the plane were his accomplices. In fact, the flight attendant

had even been Cooper's lover.

The policeman and captain found out about the gold transfer. Hence, they formulated a

plan together and carried it out successfully.

There had been another detail nobody had mentioned. The investigators had found a

cigarette stub. It had been proved to belong to Dan Cooper.

The cigarette stub had carried his saliva and could be used for a DNA test. However, in

the end, the investigators accidentally lost it.

The police force had not actually been that careless. There were spies amongst them,

unbeknownst to them.

The three partners in crime did not have blissful lives after gaining the gold. They had

not thought the case would blow up like that. As they were being tracked by the FBI,

there was no opportunity for them to profit from that treasure at all.

As the pilot and flight attendant were unable to keep the gold, they could only trust the

policeman to handle it.

Through his internal police force channels, the policeman knew that the case was under

scrutiny. He understood that there was no way for him to dispose of the gold within the

country. Hence, in a stroke of cunning, he got the metal molded into plates and

concealed them in a Ford Mustang by planting the gold in the car's body.

He had wanted to make use of his connections to send the car over to Mexico and sell

the gold there. Then he had meant to leave the country, taking his girlfriend and the pilot

with him.

However, an accident happened later. Li Du did not know the exact details of it. He only

knew that the policeman drove the car over to the border and deposited it in the

warehouse, using his connections.

That warehouse had been sealed for over forty years. From time to time, someone

would open it up to clean it. However, nobody had thought that the car was hiding the

gold stolen in America's largest robbery case!

Previously, someone noticed that the car had been modified and felt that there was

something fishy about it, especially since it was near the border. However, after

searching the car, they had not found anything.

Only Cooper knew the car's secret. Even the pilot and the flight attendant had no idea,

let alone anyone else.

Now everyone knew where the gold was. The layer of the meticulously pressed and

flattened gold plates had been revealed. Someone sent an electronic scale over to

weigh it.

The weight of the gold stood at a full one hundred and eighteen kilograms. Hence, two

kilos were missing. It could be that the robbers sold the missing gold.

”One hundred and eighteen kilograms… one ounce of gold is worth one thousand five

hundred US dollars and sixty-nine cents. How many ounces are in one hundred and

eighteen kilograms?”

”Four thousand, one hundred and sixty-two ounces.”

”Then how much is all this worth?”

”Over 6 million dollars!”

Hans gave the car a hard kick and pumped his fists in the air, shouting to the sky, ”Six

million bucks! Buddies, worship us, we made six million bucks this time around!”

Li Du was caught in Hans's exhilaration and became excited as well. ”This is just the

gold. We still have the cork flooring and other items. In total, we have gained more than

seven million!”

Hans took off his jacket and hopped onto the car. He stood on the car hood and raised

his head to the sky, howling like the leader of a wolf pack.

A large group of treasure hunters gathered near them. They asked, ”What's up, what's

up, what happened here?”

”Gold, someone found a lot of gold!”
