Du Zhaohui's efficiency in handling affairs is not high, and he still gives her an answer so far.
She couldn't answer Jim's inquiry:
"Wait a second, it should be soon, have you found 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. He moved to Los Angeles in 1969 and started a construction business. I think he has something to do with the case of Xu's disappearance."
"Is this the Benfield who sold the vase?"
Jim nodded, "Last year his construction business was down and he sold the vase for cash flow. I found out, but he insisted that he bought the vase by chance from a flea market."
Didn't Xu Zhongyi sell it, or snatch it from Xu Zhongyi?
In 1969, two years after Xu Zhongyi's family disappeared, Benfield lived well in San Francisco, why did he suddenly move to Los Angeles.
Los Angeles is not far from San Francisco, less than two hours by plane.
Xia Xiaolan felt that this Benfield deserved further investigation.
"The San Francisco gang you suspected before, have they changed?"
Jim was a little embarrassed, and confirmed that the deceased was not Xu Zhongyi, and his preliminary investigation was completely overturned. If he hadn't found out that the seller of the vase was Benfield, he would have been embarrassed to come to see Xia Xiaolan.
"My informant in San Francisco did not provide any more clues. I still insist that the disappearance of the Xu family is related to the local gangsters in San Francisco. The police now suspect that Xu murdered and fled San Francisco with his wife and children Xu is a newcomer to the United States. Will he handle the clues so cleanly and escape? He is not a professional killer."
Xia Xiaolan pondered: "I hope your deduction is correct. I don't trust the San Francisco police 100% either. They handled this case very perfunctorily back then!"
Racial discrimination has not disappeared until 30 years later, and Chinese people in the 1980s will not be respected in the United States.
When the deceased was identified as Xu Zhongyi, they did not want to investigate.
Now it is confirmed that the deceased is another unknown Asian man, and the police also say that the murderer is Xu Zhongyi.
"I will definitely find out the truth of the matter."
Jim is going to go to Los Angeles to look for Benfield again. This time he has something to threaten Benfield. The San Francisco police don't know about the vase. If Benfield doesn't tell him the truth, he will only face police investigation.
Xia Xiaolan said that she had found the seller of the vase and had asked the detectives to investigate. Grandma Yu's spirits lifted:
"Looking at the style and pattern of the old things of Yu's house, whether it is true or not depends on the imprint."
The things in Yu's house are marked, and grandma Yu can't confirm it just by looking at the photos.
We have to wait for confirmation from Hong Kong In fact, both Xia Xiaolan and Grandma Yu are somewhat sure that this vase is one of the antiques that Xu Zhongyi brought to the United States.
What a coincidence, the seller happened to live in San Francisco before 1969!
Living in San Francisco has the opportunity to meet Xu Zhongyi.
Could this Benfield be one of the gangsters back then?
Probably not, if it was, Jim must have found it.
Xia Xiaolan also felt that she had to plan multiple hands. The San Francisco police had their own investigation. Even if Xu Zhongyi killed someone, it would be good if the police could find him. Jim pursued the truth according to his own ideas, while Grandma Yu accepted an interview with San Francisco TV station. If you use multiple approaches, you will definitely gain something!
After giving the reply to the San Francisco TV station, Xia Xiaolan and Grandma Yu had a good discussion about what to say on TV.
"Don't look at Americans talking about humanitarianism all day long. In order to attract attention, the TV station dares to ask any questions. It will definitely ask you repeatedly about the San Francisco police's suspicion that Uncle Xu has murdered and absconded"
Xia Xiaolan was worried about this.
Grandma Yu waved her hand, "I can't even bear this, so what son are I looking for?"
? Make an appointment with the TV station and the local newspaper, and grandma Yu will show up after packing herself up.
The San Francisco media imagined a shabby-dressed, pitiful old lady from Huaguo, crying in front of the camera, and a few words could make her panic when she asked No, it didn't even take a reporter to speak, seeing You don't know where to put the camera, hands and feet?
Grandma Yu is destined to surprise them!
The old lady's white hair is neatly combed. At her age, she has not maintained it for many years. There is no such thing as beauty or not.
What's more, Grandma Yu has been used to keeping a straight face all year round, and the lines on her face look very serious.
What kind of fierce old lady is, as soon as Grandma Yu shows up, she is a typical representative of a fierce old lady!
But she has a good manner.
Not afraid of hands and feet.
She dared to face the camera and could speak English. She didn't need an interpreter at all, and she just sat there without being stage frightened at all.
The reporter who had prepared sharp questions did not dare to speak for a while.
Or grandma Yu said it herself:
"In 1966, my son came to the United States with his wife and their 5-year-old child. In order to settle in the United States, I asked him to take a box of gold and some antiques from Huaguo, but when he arrived in the United States, only I sent a letter back to China, in which I happily told my husband and I that he would be able to obtain American status and would return to China to pick up our husband and wife soon 20 years have passed, and there is no news of my son. When I returned home to pick me up, the San Francisco police said he was an absconding murder suspect, and this result was not only unacceptable to me, but also my deceased husband would not agree."
Once the camera was turned on, it never stopped.
Coming to America in 1966 with a chest of gold?
There are also some valuable Huaguo antiques.
This is also a rich man in Huaguo!
A wealthy man from Huaguo tried to settle in the United States. He disappeared for 20 years, then the plot reversed and he became a murder suspect 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 has started reporting a few days ago, but it did not interview Grandma Yu herself.
After the grandma finished speaking, the reporter asked a question, but his attention was a bit biased:
"Can you be more specific? You said that Xu brought a box of gold to the United States. The concept of a box of gold is too vague. How much does it weigh?"
This reporter obviously wanted to calculate the value of the gold that Xu Zhongyi brought to the United States.
The unit of gold here in the United States is not a gram or two, but an "ounce". One ounce is about 31g, Xia Xiaolan reminded Grandma Yu in a low voice. Grandma Yu calculated in her heart, and said with certainty:
"According to the American unit of measurement, there are about 320 ounces of gold bars."
320 oz?
Xia Xiaolan took a breath, the box full of gold that Xu Zhongyi brought must weigh 10 kilograms?
The reporters couldn't help whispering.
In 1966, an ounce of gold was $35. According to Grandma Yu, the gold that Xu Zhongyi brought to the United States was worth tens of thousands of dollars.
That was tens of thousands of dollars 20 years ago. Hell, didn¡¯t you say that the people of Huaguo are very poor? This is called poverty?
"Porcelain from the Hua Kingdom"
Gold can be directly exchanged into money, but antiques have to pick buyers, so the gold that Xu Zhongyi took away is to make him have money to spend when he comes to the United States. The real value is those antiques. A box of small yellow croakers is valuable - but I don't know if the Americans recognized it back then.
