People are watching American TV shows, and they are also watching American-style iaido.

For a moment, Ma Hong's head was buzzing as his eyes were focused on the words 'Oscar Sholes'.

He couldn't imagine how Ding Ze knew this secret!

For a long time.

Ma Hong had recovered a little and was able to move around with difficulty. He spoke to Lila as normally as possible, "Have you opened and looked at these two stacks of money?"

Lila shook her head. "No, I only ordered it once."

“Okay,” Ma Hong nodded. “I’ll take the top two bills with writing on them. As for the rest, you can count them one by one. If there are any more bills with writing on them, I’ll take those too.”

Lila breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, "Okay, I'll order it right away."

Two hundred 100-yuan bills won't take long to count.

The results came out, and Ding Ze did not write anything on the rest of the banknotes.

Ma Hong kept his promise and only took two banknotes with writing on them.

At this moment.

Ma Hong has almost recovered and calmed down.

Because of calmness.

He already had a general idea of ​​what Ding Ze had dug up from the garage after running all the way here.

These two stacks of banknotes were very old, and they also smelled of dust that one would only smell if they had been buried underground for a long time.

It is highly likely that a lot of money was buried at the bottom of the pit in that garage.

"When was this house built?" Ma Hong asked, putting away the two banknotes.

Lila didn't understand why Mahon asked that question. "It must have been eleven years ago."

"What was this place before that?" Ma Hong concluded that the money buried under the garage had nothing to do with Lila's family.

“It seems like a wasteland,” Lila said uncertainly, then corrected herself, “That’s not quite right either. This land used to belong to someone, but it was abandoned. I heard that decades ago, this was a farm.”

“Okay, thank you. That’s all for tonight. If you have any further questions, I’ll call you,” Ma Hong said.

"it is good."

After leaving Lila's house, Mahone followed the on-duty police officer back to Tule City.

After more than a day of running around, he was indeed a bit tired and decided to rest for the night before continuing the next day, so he randomly found a hotel.

I entered the hotel room and sat on the bed.

Ma Hong took out the two banknotes from the inside pocket of his suit jacket and smiled.

"You want to play, huh?"

"Then I'll play with you."

Sholes's affair must absolutely not be exposed!

He was already murderous.

Some things, once they happen, will happen again.

Words spoken.

Ma Hong took out his phone and called Detective Lan, "Help me check the serial numbers of the two 100-yuan bills, and write them down..."

Detective Lan obediently did as instructed, and after writing it down, she asked curiously, "Are these two serial numbers important clues?"

“Well,” Ma Hong didn’t want to say more, “If there are any results, let me know immediately. I need to rest for a while.”

The phone hangs up.

Ma Hong took a quick shower.

I heard my phone ringing as soon as I stepped out of the bathroom.

"Ma Hong, we have results!! Where did you get these two serial numbers?" Agent Lan asked excitedly.

Ma Hong had anticipated the outcome, and remained calm, asking instead of answering, "What is the outcome?"

Upon hearing this, Detective Lan, sensing Ma Hong's calmness, realized her own lapse in composure and quickly replied calmly, "Thirty years ago, DB Cooper robbed five million dollars, you know that, right? These two serial numbers you gave me match perfectly with two of the serial numbers from those five million dollars."

Ma Hong really didn't expect this outcome, and fell silent.

Ding Ze...

Hijacker DB Cooper...

How did this connection come about?

How did Ding Ze know where DB Cooper hid the money?

For a moment, all sorts of questions churned in Ma Hong's mind.

Detective Lan didn't hear anything. After waiting a short while, she couldn't wait any longer and said again, "Ma Hong, DB Cooper has been missing for thirty years. If you find that five million dollars, you'll have found DB Cooper..."

Before Detective Lan could finish speaking, Ma Hong interrupted her, "It wasn't me who found it, it was Ding Ze. He came all the way to Tule City today just to take that money."

"Huh?" Detective Lan exclaimed in surprise, "How did he know where the money was? Did he find DB Cooper?"

“There’s a very high probability that’s what happened,” Mahone laughed. “And I believe he found DB Cooper in Fox River State Penitentiary!”

Detective Lan was completely dumbfounded by these words.

However, in the blink of an eye, the logic behind it became clear.

Before going to prison, Ding Ze was just a good-for-nothing street thug. If he had known the whereabouts of the five million US dollars back then, he would have taken the money long ago. There was no reason for him to wait until now!

Ignoring Agent Lan's bewilderment, Ma Hong went straight to the point, "Lan, go to Fox River State Penitentiary immediately after dawn and find DB Cooper!"

"Thirty years have passed. That guy should be in his fifties now. Considering the time he was imprisoned, finding him shouldn't be difficult!"

"It's not difficult at all," Detective Lan nodded excitedly. "Good, if we find him, we can find Ding Ze?"

“DB Cooper disappeared for thirty years and never revealed the whereabouts of those five million dollars. Why did he suddenly tell Ding Ze?” Ma Hong was also excited. “I have reason to believe that Ding Ze must have made a deal with DB Cooper!”

"If that's the case, Ding Ze should go and fulfill DB Cooper's request after taking the money!"

"Once we figure out what DB Cooper's requirements are, we'll know where Ding Ze will go!!!"

After listening.

Agent Langdon became even more excited, "Understood! I'm going to Fox River State Penitentiary right now!"

Although it was past midnight, Ma Hong did not stop him, only instructing him, "Notify me as soon as you find out."

"no problem."

hang up the phone.

Ma Hong looked at the two hundred-yuan bills again and smiled happily.

"You let me find you, huh? Heh."

-

at the same time.

A small private plane landed in Polis, the capital of Indiana.

Ding Ze got off the plane, lit a cigarette, and shrank back.

The weather is awful, and it's a bit cold.

He exhaled a puff of smoke.

Ding Ze took out the phone he had asked Abruzzi for and made a call.

The call was answered after a long wait for the connection notification sound.

"Hello," Lila, a policewoman who had been asleep in the suburbs of Tule, said lazily, "who is this?"

“It’s me,” Ding Ze replied with a smile.

moment.

Lila was suddenly jolted awake, utterly disoriented, and could hardly believe it. "You, you, you..."

"Stop yelling and don't hang up. I've left something inside you. With just one word from me, you'll die," Ding Ze said, still smiling. "So, please answer my question obediently: Has the FBI contacted you?"

demon!!!

Absolutely a demon!!!

After clearly hearing Ding Ze's words, Lila trembled uncontrollably, genuinely terrified. "Yes, two or three hours ago, an FBI agent named Mahone came to see me..."

Ding Ze had only called to try and ask, but he didn't expect Ma Hong to be so quick. "Tell him everything you said in detail."

Having experienced Ding Ze's power firsthand, Lila dared not disobey and immediately confessed honestly.

After listening quietly, Ding Ze took a drag of his cigarette. "You didn't hide anything, did you?"

"No, absolutely not! I swear!" Lila said urgently.

"Okay, that's all for now, goodbye."

After hanging up the phone, Ding Ze opened the phone, removed the SIM card, and put it in his pocket.

the other side.
