Chapter 1454 Police Arrived (1/2)

Under the direction of Li Du, Godzilla and Firecracker carefully dug under the marble slab and revealed the rubble of marble, granite and other stones below.

They also moved a few floor tiles next to this one, but beneath them, there was a layer of solidified cement.

Squatting down and looking at the stones, Firecracker turned on a flashlight and said, ”Someone worked here recently. Last night, someone may have done something here.”

Young Markelov was furious. He rolled up his sleeves and said, ”Damn, let's beat them!”

Lu Guan was especially active and took out his saber quickly. ”Dig open, let's see what is happening below. We must teach these sons of a bitch a lesson! They must suffer!”

Li Du motioned for them to be calm and crouched down to observe the stones.

After a while, he said, ”Call the police. Let them handle this.”

Young Markelov was stunned. ”Do we need to call the police for this? We don't know what's going on down there.”

Li Du shook his head. ”This house has too many weird things happening in it. Let the police come over. If we dig here, we might find there is a secret room below. There might be a dead body or worse. It would be difficult for us to settle this without the police.”

Lu Guan, who was high-spirited just now, was starting to get scared. ”Boss, do you think there are corpses underneath? Would there be a ghost too?”

Li Du ignored him and said, ”Let the police come over. We pay so many taxes, so it only makes sense that the police should earn their keep.”

Bel Air had many wealthy neighborhoods, and its police service ranked among the best in the Los Angeles area.

The police treated them extra seriously when Li Du called because they were in the famous haunted house. When the officer on duty heard that they were in trouble, he thought that someone was dead.

Soon, four or five police cars drove up, roaring loudly.

At the sound of the sirens, the next-door neighbors were so frightened that they crawled out of the cave and sealed off the passage to their room.

Just in time, Li Du received the police, invited them into the house and then pointed to the channel they had uncovered.

Traces of the passage were visible as the rocks above were moved away.

The officers looked at each other, and the one who was leading the group said, ”There are a lot of pits in the mountain. This space may have been reserved for a basement or storage room when the house was built, so there is no need to panic.”

Li Du insisted, ”It is necessary to investigate. My pets keep getting restless around this spot. They wouldn't do it for no reason. There must be something down there.”

His animals were famous. Some police officers recognized them and said to the leading policeman, ”Chief, these are the six unruly gentlemen. They are cool.”

The leader policeman was confused. ”What six gentlemen?”

”Six great, amazing animals. I'm a fan of them,” another police officer chuckled and described Ah Meow's amazing acts.

Li Du had no patience to wait any longer. He nodded to the Markelov brothers and said, ”Dig it. The police are here now. We need not worry about anything.”

The Markelov brothers, registered by the Ukrainian foreign ministry as fugitives, were nervous when they confronted the police.
