Chapter 833 Double Eagle Gold Dollar
Treasure hunting, adventure, seabed, shipwrecks, ancient gold coins.
These words came together, and when they heard Winslow's words, Lacey, Chenelle, and Mona's eyes lit up, and Michelle and Roan also showed interesting expressions.
Winslow opened the file and said:
“The test report of the Trace Inspection Section shows that these 9 gold coins are "Double Eagle Gold Dollars", and then..."
“What?!”
Just halfway through Winslow's words, a startled female voice suddenly sounded. Luo An and Mona turned their heads and found that the person who screamed was actually Michelle.
Chenelle and Lacey were very surprised. As Michelle, who was "free from vulgar carnal tastes", she had been working in the special investigation team for such a long time and her mood was very stable most of the time.
No matter how difficult it is, Michelle’s first reaction is not to complain or break down, but to analyze and solve the difficulties.
Scenes like today's exclaiming were indeed quite rare for Michelle.
Seeing everyone looking at her in surprise, Michelle felt a little embarrassed. She smoothed her hair and explained seriously:
“The Double Eagle gold dollar was a currency issued by the federal government during some time in the last century. It has extremely high collection value. A gold coin minted in 1787 was once auctioned for a high price of more than 700,000 US dollars.
In 2003-04, a Philadelphia family discovered ten "double eagle coins" in their late father's safe.
They then contacted the mint and sent the gold coins for appraisal.
The mint determined that the gold coins were genuine, but refused to return them on the grounds that they had stolen state property.
The family filed an angry lawsuit, and the federal government said they could not prove they had obtained the gold coins through legal means and therefore had no ownership rights, and the coins were confiscated. "
“…”x5
Winslow and Lacey were speechless, Mona and Chenelle looked with disdain on their faces, Roan was not too surprised by this.
They are the world’s beacon after all, and they have the final say when the lights turn on.
After Michelle finished her brief description, she looked at Winslow with interest and asked:
"What did the Trace Inspection Department say? In what year were these "Double Eagle Gold Dollars" produced?"
“Well, the Trace Inspection Department doesn’t know either.”
Winslow spread his hands and said that the Trace Inspection Department, like the previous counterfeit coins, had no experts in antique gold coins.
They can only confirm that the gold coin is the "Double Eagle Gold Dollar". I am afraid that the specific casting time needs to be informed by a relevant appraiser.
Roan waved his hand to signal Winslow to continue what he said at the beginning. Winslow nodded and said:
“The Trace Inspection Section stated that no matter where these “Double Eagle Gold Dollars” are found in the sea, it shows that there is definitely a very large sunken ship there.
Along with these "Double Eagle Gold Dollars", there is a high probability that there will be huge amounts of gold and other treasures. "
Luo An frowned slightly, took the interrogation record in Mona's hand, and said:
“Anatole just said that in addition to these gold coins, they also found some gold bars, but they were just robbed.
The gold bars are engraved with words such as "kelloo...139NN...".
Winslow, take this information to the Trace Inspection Section and see if they can pinpoint which shipwreck it is. "
“I’ll go over right away.”
Winslow nodded and immediately turned around and left the office area. Lacey looked at the interrogation record in Roan's hand and asked:
“Roan, did Anatoly find any clues?”
“In fact, he made it clear what was going on behind the case.”
Luo An smiled, handed the interrogation record to Lacey, and briefly described Anatoly's experience.
After listening to Anatoly’s story, Chenelle and Michelle looked at each other. Lacey was silent for a few seconds and said:
“So, this case is not a counterfeit money case, but actually a treasure-grabbing case involving gangsters?”
“In a sense, it can be said.”
Luo An nodded, picked up the coffee and took a sip.
The story behind this case is not complicated. Anatoly, Benson, Leon and others drove a treasure hunting boat to search for sunken ships on the sea, and successfully discovered these "double eagle gold coins" and gold bars. They planned to change to a larger ship to salvage the sunken ship, but the news was leaked. Not long after they landed, they met a gangster who wanted to kidnap them and go hunting for the treasure themselves.
"I have a question."
At this point, Lacey raised her hand and asked with some confusion:
“I can understand that if you encounter a bad guy, you’ll eat the bad guy, and if you can’t beat him, you’ll run away.
Benson and Leon want to divert trouble to the east and drag others into trouble, and I can understand their thinking.
Benson later handed the counterfeit banknotes to Anatoly and asked him to take the money and run away, which shows that Benson most likely knew that someone was making counterfeit banknotes in the factory in the suburbs.
But this kind of news should be very hidden. How did Benson know about it? "
“I haven’t thought about this clearly either.”
Mona nodded and agreed very much with Lacey’s words. She then added:
“Also, I have another question.
I don’t quite understand why Benson and Leon trust Anatoly so much.
They also asked Anatoly to keep the gold coins, gave Anatoly counterfeit banknotes, and asked Anatoly to escape in the chaos, but the two of them stayed behind to break up the rear.
Since they have encountered gangsters and gangsters, they should have internal trust issues. "
“Is it possible that Anatoly’s mental state is not very good?”
Michelle gave her own guess, saying:
“Anatoli has some mental problems, so the two of them believe that there is nothing wrong with him.”
…”
Mona, Chenelle and Lacey looked at Michelle speechlessly, wanting to complain but not knowing what to say, because her guess did make sense on a certain level.
"For the first question, we should have the opportunity to catch Leon and others to ask them face to face. As for the second question..."
At this moment, Luo An, who was next to him, shook his head. He showed a report to the four people and said:
“Here’s the real reason.”
Lacie quickly reached out and took the paper. Mona, Chenelle and Michelle quickly turned their eyes to look at it and found that it was Anatoly's physical condition test report issued by the doctor.
Ordinary bruises, excessive blood loss, fractures, etc. were swept away. The four women continued to look down, and words such as "genital warts" and "rectal mucosal injury" appeared in front of them.
“…”x4
The four women fell silent for a moment. They all learned some basic knowledge during FBI training and understood the meaning behind these words.
Especially Lacey, she can proudly say that no one in this office knows better than her.
Roan on the side rubbed his temples. During the interrogation just now, when talking about topics related to Benson, Leon and women, the emotion of "jealousy" appeared in Anatoly's mind many times.
Luo An thought he had guessed wrong at first, but after leaving the interrogation room and carefully reading the medical report, he remembered what Anatoli had said before that their treasure hunt ship was constantly drifting at sea for more than a month or even three months. Anatoly is very thin and has a pretty face...
Luo An did not comment on this. There are more than a hundred genders in the Federation, and men are nothing at all. This is called freedom.
Lacie put the report aside, and the two women tacitly agreed not to discuss it anymore. Chenelle thought about it and asked:
“Luo An, what do we do next?”
“Next, let’s leave Washington, D.C. and take a look at the South.”
Luo An crossed his arms over his chest and smiled:
“Go to Atlanta to see the local customs and customs.”
