V1.Chapter 1464
Du Zhaohui's efficiency is not high, so he has replied to her so far.
She couldn't answer Jim's question:
"Wait a minute, it should be soon. Did you find the seller?"
Jim handed Xia Xiaolan a piece of paper: "Benfield, now living in Los Angeles, is a construction businessman. Before 1969, he lived in San Francisco. In 1969, he moved to Los Angeles and started as a builder. If it is confirmed that it is Yu's vase, I think he is related to Xu's disappearance. "
"This is the vase Benfield sold?"
Jim nodded. "Last year his construction business was depressed and sold the vase as a capital turnover. I found it, but he insisted that he bought the vase by accident from the junk market."
Didn't Xu Zhongyi sell it or steal it from Xu Zhongyi?
In 1969, two years after the Xu Zhongyi family disappeared, Benfield lived well in San Francisco. Why did he suddenly move to Los Angeles.
Los Angeles is not far from San Francisco. The plane is less than two hours.
Xia Xiaolan thinks Benfield deserves further investigation.
"Did the San Francisco gangs you suspected before have any changes?"
Jim was a little embarrassed and confirmed that the deceased was not Xu Zhongyi. His early investigation was overturned. If Benfield hadn't found out that the seller of the vase was Benfield, he would be embarrassed to see Xia Xiaolan.
"My informant in San Francisco didn't provide more clues. I still insist that the disappearance of the Xu family is related to the local gangs in San Francisco. The police now suspect that Xu fled San Francisco with his wife and children after killing... Xu is a newcomer to the United States. How can he handle the clues so cleanly and escape? He's not a professional killer. "
Xia Xiaolan pondered: "I hope your inference is correct. I don't trust the San Francisco police 100 percent. They handled the case perfunctorily at that time!"
Racial discrimination did not disappear until 30 years later, and the Chinese people in the 1980s would not be respected in the United States.
When the deceased was identified as Xu Zhongyi, they didn't want to investigate.
Now it is confirmed that the deceased is another unknown Asian man, and the police say the murderer is Xu Zhongyi.
"I will find out the truth."
Jim is going to Los Angeles to find Benfield again. This time, he has the handle to threaten Benfield. The San Francisco police don't know about the vase. If Benfield doesn't tell him the truth, he will have to face the police investigation.
Xia Xiaolan said that she had found the seller of the vase and had asked the detective to check it. Grandma Yu was in great spirits:
"Looking at the style and pattern, it looks like an old thing at home. Whether it is or not depends on the mark."
There are marks on the things at home. Grandma Yu can't confirm it just by looking at the photos.
We have to wait for confirmation from Hong Kong... In fact, Xia Xiaolan and grandma Yu are somewhat sure that this vase is one of the American antiques brought by Xu Zhongyi.
It's no coincidence that the seller happened to live in San Francisco before 1969!
Living in San Francisco, you have the opportunity to contact Xu Zhongyi.
This Benfield, was he one of the gang members?
I don't think so. If so, Jim must have found it.
Xia Xiaolan also felt that she had to make more plans. The San Francisco police had their own investigation. Even if Xu Zhongyi killed someone, it would be good for the police to find someone. Jim tracked down the truth according to his own ideas, and grandma Yu accepted an interview with San Francisco TV. We must get something from multiple approaches!
After giving a reply to San Francisco TV station, Xia Xiaolan and grandma Yu had a good discussion about what to say when they were on TV.
"Don't watch Americans talk about humanitarianism all day. In order to attract attention, the TV station dares to ask any questions. It will repeatedly ask you about Uncle Xu's murder and flight suspected by the San Francisco police..."
Xia Xiaolan is worried about this.
Grandma Yu waved, "I can't afford this. What son are you looking for?"
Make an appointment with the TV station and the local newspaper, and grandma Yu will show up properly.
What the media in San Francisco think is a poor old Chinese woman in rags who cries at the camera. A few words can make her panic... No, she doesn't even need a reporter to speak. When she sees the camera, she doesn't know where to put her hands and feet?
Grandma Yu is destined to surprise them!
The old lady's white hair is neatly combed. At her age and without maintenance for many years, there is no beauty.
Besides, grandma Yu has been used to a straight face all year round, and the lines on her face look very serious.
What is a fierce old lady? Grandma Yu is a typical representative of a fierce old lady as soon as she appears!
But she has good manners.
Not afraid of hands and feet.
She dares to face the camera and speaks English. She doesn't need an interpreter at all. She sits where she is and doesn't have stage fright at all.
The reporter who had been prepared for sharp questions did not dare to speak for a while.
Grandma Yu said it herself:
"In 1966, my son came to the United States with his wife and their 5-year-old children. In order to settle in the United States, I asked him to take a box of gold and some Chinese antiques. But when he arrived in the United States, he only sent a letter back to China. The letter happily told me and my husband that he would definitely obtain American status and would soon return home to pick up our husband and wife... 20 years later, My son has no news. Not only did he not return home to pick me up, but the San Francisco police said he was a fugitive murder suspect. This result is not only unacceptable to me, but also unacceptable to my dead husband. "
The camera didn't stop as soon as it was turned on.
Brought a box of gold to the United States in 1966?
There are also some valuable Chinese antiques.
This is also a rich man in China!
The rich Chinese tried to settle in the United States. They first disappeared for 20 years, and the plot reversed. They became the murder suspects considered by the San Francisco police. This story has great news value.
There are a large number of Chinese living in San Francisco. This news TV station began to report a few days ago, but did not interview grandma Yu herself.
After grandma finished, a reporter asked a question, but his attention was a little biased:
"Can you be more specific? You said Xu brought a box of gold to the United States. The concept of a box of gold is too vague. How heavy is it?"
This reporter obviously wants to calculate the value of gold brought by Xu Zhongyi to the United States.
The unit of gold in the United States is not grams or two, but "ounces". One ounce is about 31G. Xia Xiaolan whispered to grandma. Grandma Yu calculated in her heart and said with great certainty:
"According to the American unit of measurement, there are about 320 ounces of gold bars."
320 ounces?
Xia Xiaolan took a breath. Xu Zhongyi brought a box full of gold. Do you have to have 10 kilograms?
The reporters could not help whispering.
In 1966, gold was $35 an ounce. According to grandma Yu, the value of gold brought by Xu Zhongyi to the United States was tens of thousands of dollars.
That's tens of thousands of dollars 20 years ago. Shit, doesn't it mean that Chinese people are very poor? It's called poverty?
"The porcelain of China..."
Gold can be directly converted into money, but antiques have to choose buyers, so Xu Zhongyi took the gold to make him spend money in the United States. What is really valuable is those antiques. In grandma's eyes, everything is more valuable than a box of small yellow croaker - I just don't know whether the Americans recognized it in those years.
She couldn't answer Jim's question:
"Wait a minute, it should be soon. Did you find the seller?"
Jim handed Xia Xiaolan a piece of paper: "Benfield, now living in Los Angeles, is a construction businessman. Before 1969, he lived in San Francisco. In 1969, he moved to Los Angeles and started as a builder. If it is confirmed that it is Yu's vase, I think he is related to Xu's disappearance. "
