Treasure Hunt Tycoon
Chapter 618: Water and Fire (7/1 * 10 +)
In addition to narwhal teeth and high-end watch hairsprings, they also have a set of high-end furniture, a set of silver tableware, a gold and silver jewelry in a safe, and more than fifty laptops.
Among them, the narwhal's teeth are the most expensive. For centuries, people have linked the narwhal's tusks to the legendary unicorns, and believe that it has medicinal and even magical power.
It is a pity that they did not have a good time. In medieval Europe, this "unicorn horn" was ten times more expensive than gold of the same weight.
It is said. Queen Elizabeth I of England received a whale tooth worth 10,000 pounds, and this money was able to buy a castle at that time.
At present, the narwhal's teeth can only be used as decorations, and the value is greatly reduced, but still many people are interested in it, so they can still sell for a good price.
Hans found a friend to check. Now the narwhal teeth on the market are rare. The most recent sale was in 2005. Don Oliver, manager of the Arctic Bay City North Store in Canada, paid $ 50,000 from the polar hunter. Captured four whale teeth.
Oliver packed the whale in a box and shipped it to North Bay, Ontario. The whale was auctioned to art dealers and collectors and sold for a total of 280,000.
To put it in perspective, in 2005, there were about 70,000 such whale teeth. According to inflation, now there must be about 100,000 whale teeth anyway.
If they do it properly, a whale tooth can sell for a higher price, because narwhal is now rarer, and Arctic Conservation has banned hunting of narwhal.
This beautiful sea beast can be seen in Canadian waters in the past, but it is rare now. Japanese whaling boats have been raging in the polar regions for many years, and the number of narwhal sharply decreased from 10,500 in 1986 to 1,500 in 2002 .
Nowadays, to see narwhal can only go to the polar waters or the west coast of Greenland.
To protect them, the Arctic Conservation Group puts narwhales on a hunting list, while the Greenland Local Autonomous Government requires local hunters to hunt up to five heads per year.
Li Du took a whale and Sophie's father had a birthday. He had to prepare some gifts.
Unfortunately, he couldn't go to this birthday party in person. The birthday of the old man is today. He had packed the warehouse in a day and a half according to his plan, and he could hurry back in time.
But he is not as good as the sky. He has been abducted. This will not go back. He has to cooperate with the Las Vegas police and the Cavaliers to resolve this case.
No way, he called Sophie on his birthday. The poor female doctor was still waiting for him to come back, and asked happily as soon as he called: "Dear, where have you been?"
Li Du said helplessly: "Sorry, dear, I'm still in Las Vegas."
"Ah?" Sophie responded quickly and asked thoughtfully. "Is this auction going well?"
Li Duben did not want to tell her about the abduction, so as not to cause her worry.
However, he thought carefully that such a thing could not be concealed for a while, and Sophie and him were so close. Sooner or later, he would know that even if he didn't say it, other treasure pickers would talk about it.
Moreover, this is the time when he and Sophie have established a relationship, and for the first time to attend her family party, he must have a valid reason not to go there.
So he honestly said, "Dear, I was kidnapped the other day."
Sophie froze and said, "Are you kidding me?"
Before that, the female doctor was crying. Of course, she knew that Li Du could not tease her with such news.
Li Du said in a hurry: "Don't panic, don't panic, I'm fine, I ran out safely, but I have to stay here to cooperate with the police ..."
He didn't finish talking, Sophie said, "Okay, I'll go with you!"
Li Du laughed and said, "Why are you here with me? Let's spend the birthday with James ..."
Still speaking, the call was hung up, and the result was self-evident.
Sophie's impression of him has always been gentle and watery. This is the first time he has seen her so busy and so busy.
After twenty minutes, Rose called suddenly.
Li Du connected strangely, Rose asked: "Have you been abducted? Have you run out again?"
"Uh, how do you know?" Mr. Li was aggressive.
Rose hummed: "I'm a police officer. We will report this internally. I saw that a Chinese named Li Du was abducted in Las Vegas, and I guessed it might be you, but unfortunately."
What is unfortunate guess? Li Du is very upset by these two words, and he has not been tortured. Can you use ‘unfortunate’ to describe it?
But think about it, even if kidnapped is unfortunate enough, but he just feels that this word comes out of Rose's mouth, which makes him feel very wrong.
What's even worse is that he has been abducted for more than 24 hours. How could Rose know at this time? And it happened that she called Sophie after talking to it ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Thinking so, he said suspiciously, "What did you get from the inside, did Sophie tell you?"
As soon as he finished, Rose laughed: "Hahaha, you guessed it? Hahaha, you are so good, you have a good reasoning ability, no wonder you can escape from the abduction of eight people."
Li Du asked: "How do you know that eight people kidnapped me?"
Rose said: "If you have the same IQ when you were kidnapped, then you will be miserable. Of course, after Sophie told me, I went to investigate the case."
Li Du smiled bitterly: "Okay, okay, what is the purpose of your call? How did Sophie tell you this?"
Rose said, "The girl hurried on the road and met me on patrol. I dropped her on the plane. I knew it on the road, wasn't it?"
Li Du said, "It's a coincidence that it's fine. I'm fine. Thank you for your concern."
As a result, Rose suddenly became angry: "I didn't come to you, I came to blame you. You were kidnapped, why not call me first?"
Li Du reluctantly said, "What are you calling? Can you fly over from Flagstaff to save me? Besides, I have escaped when I got the phone."
"Then you have to let me know, too," Rose said confidently.
"Let you know what's good? Are you worried about me?"
Rose spoke for a moment and then said, "No, you are my tenant. I have to take responsibility for your safety. You have been abducted, and I have suspicions, too. Besides, in case you die, I will rent the house again. Go out, you ca n’t just waste it, right? ”
"Your sister!" Mr. Li said angrily.
Rose said, "Fun to play, am I the kind of person? Whether you die or live, my house belongs to you in the coming year."
