Chapter 1160 Offshore Mansion (1/2)
Things went as Li Du expected. The anger of the old gentlemen and ladies burst out
once they knew this was a big fraud, flooding the organizers.
Indeed, the mood among the tourists was even more violent than he had expected.
The police department had arranged for two cars to come and check things out. When
the police officers found that there was a riot on the beach, they did not even dare to get
out of the cars. The cars moved slowly on the beach and called for backup forces.
Four more police cars came, and then even more from all directions, including an urban
anti-riot vehicle.
Police arrested the scam organizers and broke up the tourist group to get everyone to
calm down.
Some old men and women were so emotional that they almost attacked the police
officers.
Seeing this, the Australian police showed no leniency. They directly pinned the
offenders to the ground with their shields, handcuffed them and took them away.
At this time, the angry old people finally calmed down. They found out that the foreign
policemen were not as timid and helpless as the police at home. These policemen
reacted harshly to any violence, disregarding the attackers' advanced age.
.
The police pinned down a few people, arrested a few more, and the rest of the group
backed off.
However, even though they had calmed down they had no place to go, as the police,
saying that they needed them to assist in the investigation, took all the tour guides
away.
Li Du and his parents, who were involved, could not leave. The police asked them to
stay on the beach.
At this point, the contacts of the top Harry Winston group executives exercised their
influence, and they were released without even needing to pay bail, as the three were
victims.
Some were outraged by this and asked, ”Why are they allowed to leave and we have to
stay here?”
The policeman shrugged and said, ”They're not with you.”
”But they also participated in the lucky draw. I recognize them, especially that young
man. His surname is Li, he drew the grand prize, a big yacht,” a lady said anxiously.
”Would you like some coffee?” asked the policeman.
The lady was thrown off and said, ”I want to know when we can leave.”
”Soon. We are not arresting you, we're keeping you safe, and as soon as the
investigation is over, we'll let you go.”
”Okay,” the lady said, ”I'll have a cup of coffee.”
The policeman nodded, beckoned to his colleague, and said, ”Here, get auntie a
cappuccino.”
Li Du took the big yacht away, leaving no name.
He didn't want to leave any tracks. After all, he took away the biggest prize, so the
police would inevitably still want to talk to him.
However, the case had nothing to do with Li Du. The police only investigated and
collected evidence, and even as such, the yacht could not be confiscated.
That evening, reports of the case appeared on the news.
The police had uncovered a major international fraud involving Chinese, Japanese,
Korean, American and British nationals.
The gang used free lucky draws as a pretext to contact travel agencies and offer them
to take tourists to the event. The prizes were all fake or inferior products.
They made money by pretending to help the tax office collect taxes that did not match
the value of the prize, and by charging visitors a commission for helping to sell the prize.
For example, when someone won a car, it would not be easy to take it back to their
