Year: I had a good time when I was young

Chapter 353: Succeed, meet a darker one

Chu Xiangqian found the female nightclub owner walking towards a bank with photos and a money box.

He immediately guessed that this woman had taken the money, but she did not hand over all the photos of Charles, Hahn, Lei Luo, Lan Gang, Fei Bo and others as promised.

There was a burst of anger in my heart that could no longer be suppressed and burst out.

After just cursing a few words, I thought, looking at this, maybe this woman has been keeping all the secretly taken photos in the vault of this bank.

In other words, there might be photos of other people she tricked in the bank vault.

If you can get it, even if you don't use it, you can give it to the boss and use it to trade with polar bears.

Only those idiots think that relying on photos to influence the powerful is an opportunity to make a fortune.

Even if such a person becomes rich and powerful for a while, the final result will definitely be death without a burial place.

Chu Xiangqian felt a little frightened just thinking about it, a dozen or dozens of powerful people were thinking about him all the time.

The next day, after Charles, Hahn, Mr. and Mrs. Lei Luo, Mr. and Mrs. Lan Gang and Fei Bo entered the airport, they hugged Chu Qianqian who was seeing him and others off, and after thanking him repeatedly, they entered the boarding gate.

Chu Xiangqian shook his head helplessly. These guys came to London to celebrate themselves as the champion knights, winning the first leg of the Triple Crown.

But something like this happened, which made people feel really disappointed.

At the same time, I was secretly glad that I didn't follow Hahn and the others to the nightclub to fool around.

After sending the group away, Chu Xiangqian's attention was focused on the bank.

By the time he commanded the tits to investigate the bank, the news about the cargo being mixed up in more than a dozen containers at the East District pier had already been spread on the pier.

Moreover, not one of the dozen boxes was empty. Even the people from IBM thought at first that the goods had been mixed up rather than stolen.

Therefore, we did not call the police immediately, and the people at the dock also said that we should call the police at this time. Unless the goods were really stolen, the police might not intervene.

Chu Qianqian let Ti Qiao stare at him for two days. Seeing that the police never entered the East District Pier to investigate, he couldn't help but feel relieved.

The later the call to the police is made, the more difficult the investigation will be.

There is basically a 9% chance that this matter will become an unsolved case.

Maybe by the time Zhongqing Bureau and MI5 intervene, he may have already left London and returned to Xiangjiang.

He even returned to the capital and handed over three 7090 computers to his superiors.

After that, Chu Xiangqian focused entirely on Elder Bank.

After letting Chickadee stay near the bank and observing it for a whole day, Chu Xiangqian planned to dig a tunnel into the bank's vault.

But just as he was hesitating, he suddenly thought of letting the tit take the risk of flying into the bank's lobby during the bank's opening period, and then get into the exhaust duct.

See if you can follow the pipe into the vault.

Moreover, after the chickadee hid in the ventilation duct, it only took half a day to look at all areas of the bank.

Elder Bank is not a small company in England, with more than thirty branches in London alone.

This branch is not large in area. Behind the counter is the vault, which is divided into a duty room and a left and right vault.

The left side is used to store cash, and the right side is the safe for customers.

Titmouse entered the ventilation duct of the safe on the right, looked through the grille, and saw three rows of cabinets against the wall.

There are at least hundreds of safes in the cabinet.

Moreover, the safe was actually locked with a padlock. Chu Qianqian asked himself that if he could enter the safe, he could easily open all these boxes with only two wires.

After determining the situation inside the bank, what Chu Xiangqian needed to do now was to let the tit follow the ventilation duct to find the exit of the duct.

And it must be the kind of exit that can leave with the portfolio.

Fortunately, the bank's security system is designed to protect against people, not mice or tits smaller than mice.

At 5 o'clock on Friday afternoon, the bank closed on time. Chu Xiangqian thought that the next two days and three nights would be enough for him to direct the tits, like mice moving, to move everything in the vault bit by bit.

Unexpectedly, after the tit easily entered the vault through the pipe, the alarm bell rang in the bank.

Chu was so frightened that he quickly ordered the tits to fly into the ventilation duct.

In just 10 minutes, several police cars rushed over quickly.

On the contrary, it took people from the bank a full 40 minutes to arrive.

He opened the door with a key and rushed in with a dozen heavily armed policemen.

If a thief really breaks in, it's easy to surrender. If you resist, you will soon be beaten into a hornet's nest.

More than a dozen policemen searched one after another, but found nothing.

It can only be regarded as a false alarm from the alarm system.

When the police and the bank manager left cursing, Chu Qianqian felt something in his heart.

At 7pm, tits were again deliberately allowed to fly around in the vault.

When the alarm bell rang again, Chu Xiangqian also looked through the tit and saw that there were actually four infrared alarms installed on the four corners of the vault.

Infrared, also known as thermal imaging, was invented more than 100 years ago.

With current technology, it may be difficult to build an infrared thermal imaging camera for individual combat use.

But the bank vault is large enough, and it is not difficult to get a few thermal imaging cameras that look like large square boxes.

Chu Xiangqian secretly thought it was dangerous. If he dug a tunnel by himself, he might have just dug it not long ago.

Banks have alarm systems that detect earthquakes and the like.

Even if the bank doesn't have such an alarm, the infrared system can make you scratch your head.

If you want to steal the contents, you can only find a way to force the bank to turn off its security system.

The tit flew several times and climbed back into the ventilation duct again.

It also took the police only 10 minutes to arrive outside the bank.The manager was much faster this time.

It only took 15 minutes to get here.

But this time, nothing unusual was found, and some of the dozen or so policemen immediately started to complain.

The manager himself was cursing in his own mind and called an expert to ask. They concluded that there was either an error in the alarm system.

Either it was a rat or something that triggered the alarm system.

When the police officer leading the team heard this, he couldn't help but persuade the manager to find someone from the security system company.

After working all night, the two security experts came to the conclusion that the bank was indeed infested with rats.

Chu Xiangqian always thought that there was no surveillance at this time, but in fact, the surveillance system had been invented in the 50s.

But unlike future imaging systems, surveillance at this time uses cameras and film.

The entire camera system weighs at least three to four hundred kilograms, and it cannot shoot 24 hours a day.

Otherwise, the camera will overheat, and once the film is burned, it will burst into flames like firewood poured with gasoline.

Moreover, the captured images are blurry, not to mention that in the infrared images, the red light revealed by the tits is really about the size of a mouse.

People never thought that it would be a little bird.

The manager took the two experts aside and asked in a low voice if there was any solution.

The other party shrugged and said that if he wanted to improve the alarm system, let alone tonight, it would be impossible in four or five days.

Not to mention that the next two days are weekends, so no one will come to work unless they are paid several times the overtime pay.

Besides, improving the monitoring system is not something he, a manager, can do by just tapping his head.

This matter must be reported to the senior management of Elder Bank headquarters.

This delay will take at least ten days and a half, and even if the people above hear that they are rats, there is a high probability that this matter will be suppressed.

Just spend a little money and hire someone to come over and get rid of the rats.

At around 1 a.m., the alarm system sounded again. Two security experts and the manager were waiting in a car outside the bank, and five or six police officers entered the bank again.

It's really confirmed, but it's a false alarm.

Either turn off the alarm system or let the alarm bell ring.

After the bank manager, police and people from the security system company complained repeatedly that night, Chu Qianqian saw that the other party still hadn't turned off the alarm system.

Can't help but frown.

But after thinking about it for a long time, I realized that if I were the manager, I would wait until dawn and report the matter to the superiors before turning off the alarm system.

Therefore, Chu Xiangqian’s task for Titmouse was to sneak out of the vent and trigger the alarm when there was no one in the bank.

Wait for the manager to open the door and enter the bank, turn off the alarm, and try again after a while.

Moreover, in order to avoid being discovered that the problem was in the vault, the tits also climbed through the pipe to the bank lobby or another vault.

After he had a good night's sleep, when he got up in the morning and looked through the sight of the tits, he saw that the tits had settled on the rows of safes in the vault and were resting there.

It seems that the manager has reported this matter.

After the bank's upper management learned about it, they determined that the trouble was caused by rats, and then agreed to turn off the alarm system.Now Chu Xiangqian was relieved, but based on the principle of caution, he still waited until evening.

Today, Saturday, plus tomorrow night, is enough for me to pry open all the locked boxes in the vault.

The tit climbed out of the ventilation duct and flew all the way to the pasture.

Chu Xiangqian also spent a day hiding in the pasture, experimenting with several ways to open padlocks with tits.

After experimenting with several methods, which either failed or were very inefficient, I finally remembered what I had seen on a video in my previous life, where the principle of air pressure was used to break open a padlock using the gas produced by the violent combustion of gunpowder.

After trying it, I can actually open the lock, but the success rate is not very high.

Chu Xiangqian simply replaced the phosphorus on the match with the gunpowder in the bullet.

This experiment was carried out more than ten times in a row, and the padlock was easily opened every time.

It took some time to make 150 small powder packets that can be inserted into the lock cylinder of a small padlock.

I won’t go into details, as this thing doesn’t make any sound yet.

After confirming the plan, Chu Xiangqian naturally would not stay at the ranch tonight, but went to the villa on Kensington Garden Street.

That night, Chickadee entered the vault, easily opened a padlock, flapped its little wings, and opened the iron drawer.

I saw a jewelry box inside. Although the tits were small, this guy's strength was already 2.1.

Silver-throated Long-tailed Tit, Level 12.

Constitution 2.5, strength 2.1, agility 8.5.

Moreover, after reaching level 12, Chu Qianqian still had 1 free point left to add to Ti Qiao.

Fortunately, the power of 2.1 is enough to deal with these boxes and jewelry boxes for the time being.

The small claws pry open the box, and the bird's beak presses against the edge of the box, easily opening the box completely.

Seeing that there was actually a full diamond necklace inside, Chu Qianqian couldn't help but curl his lips. Although the value was high, the primary purpose at this time was definitely to find those photos.

Just let Titmouse open all the boxes with gunpowder bags first, and then open the sliding drawers one by one.

Sure enough, I quickly found the file bag and the 30 pounds that I sent yesterday.

Chu Xiangqian immediately ordered Ti Qing to drag the file bag out of the vent and fly back to the villa.

Twenty seconds later, the file bag fell from the sky and landed in the hands of Chu Qianqian who was standing on the rooftop of the villa.

When I opened it, I found that it was not photos of Charles and others.

Chu Qianqian frowned and thought for a while, and couldn't help but laugh and curse.

It seemed that the madam and the gangster behind her had indeed given all the photos and negatives to Arthur as promised.

Then put it in your own hands.

But since the tits have already entered the bank, there is no reason to give up halfway.

Anyway, what he stole was the British guy's money and things, so Chu Xiangqian didn't feel any burden at all.

Let the tit fly back and soon see an identical file bag from another safe.

Chu Qianqian thought for a moment and soon realized that the madam and the black boss actually rented more than one safe.

It seems that there must be quite a few people secretly photographed by them.

Many of the remaining drawers contained cash and jewelry.

Of course, there are many things that are private.

Chu Qianqian looked at his watch. It was after 10 o'clock in the evening, which was enough time.

The tits kept taking photos, money, jewelry and other things out of the bank along the vents, and then flew back to Garden Street.

Just lying back and forth for a dozen or so times, Titmouse's physical strength was in trouble.

Chu Qianqian thought for a moment and simply released Da Zhuang and Hong Niu. The two hunting dogs each had a backpack tied to their bodies and ran quickly towards the bank.

The tit comes out with something in its mouth, flies to Da Zhuang or Hong Niu, and throws the thing into the backpack.

When it is almost full, Da Zhuang or Hong Niu will transport the things back to the villa on Huayuan Street.

In just one night, the two hunting dogs and Titmouse worked countless times. Except for things like gold bars that Titmouse really couldn't bring out, everything in the vault was in Chu Qianqian's hands.

I counted 150 million pounds in cash and 40 US dollars.

30 pieces of jewelry and a bag of various documents.

However, more than 30 safes inside were empty.It probably hasn't been rented out yet.

Seeing that it was already past 4 o'clock in the morning, Chu Xiangqian could only stop first.

But before letting Titmouse leave, he took a look at the bank's own cash reserves in another vault.

Seeing this, Chu Xiangqian's heartbeat did not speed up. There were stacks of cash, at least several million.

Suppressing the excitement in my heart, seeing that the sky was already getting slightly brighter, I could only wait until it got dark.

But this day seems to be as difficult as a year.

However, after this case comes out, the bank's reserve rules will definitely change drastically in the future.

From now on, the money received by the branch every week will definitely be escorted to the head office before the holiday on Friday.

Rather than saving a little on shipping costs, it will continue to be stored in the branch.

In the afternoon, Margaret brought Nata to the villa. Chu Qianqian, who was a little anxious, simply took this little girl to clean her up.

Then he went to find Nata again, and this time the two of them were completely frightened by Chu Xiangqian.

Chu Qianqian, whose emotions were released, also slept until past 7 o'clock.

When having dinner at 8 o'clock in the evening, Margaret occasionally yawned while eating. One glance showed that she was indeed very tired in the afternoon.

But looking at Chu's forward eyes, there was blame and coquettishness.

He scolded Chu Xiangqian, but he was very satisfied in his heart.

At around 10 o'clock in the evening, Margaret hugged Chu Qianqian and chatted for a while, and fell asleep without realizing it.

Chickadee was also directed by Chu Qianqian and entered the bank again.

One night passed, at around 6 o'clock in the morning, Chu Xiangqian, who got up early, pretended to be doing morning exercises, walked to the grass in the garden, and looked up.

There are more than a dozen bags arranged messily under the old bushes.

Although each bag was only one-third full, the total of more than a dozen items amounted to at least 500 to [-] million pounds.

Chu Qianqian walked in and put all the bags into the Novice Village warehouse.

After leaving the garden gate, I ran around Hyde Park.

By the time he ran back to the villa, it was already past 7 o'clock in the morning.

As if nothing had happened, he greeted the gardener who had already gotten up to take care of the garden, and told Butler Hawkins that he wanted to have porridge and fried beef patties in the morning.

Go upstairs to wash up and wake up Margaret and Nata.

There was another round of nonsense, and it wasn't until after 9 o'clock that Chu Xiangqian and Margaret went downstairs.

While eating breakfast, news suddenly came over the radio that the Elder Bank branch had been robbed.

Margaret and others were immediately stunned. When Chu Xiangqian also pretended to be surprised, Hawkins suddenly sighed and said, "Your Highness, sir, I think it might be a bank employee who is working with outsiders to guard theft."

Chu Xiangqian asked hurriedly, "How do you say this?"

Margaret also looked at Old Hawkins with a curious expression. Nata and another maid stood beside her, their faces also full of exploration.

Hawkins thought for a moment and said, “I heard the report half an hour ago.

In my estimation, according to reports, there is nothing unusual about the inner and outer gates.The door, floor, and walls of the vault also showed no signs of being pried.

There was a false alarm the night before yesterday, and it has been more than an hour since the bank discovered it had been stolen.No one went to the bank to protect the loss.

I suspect it's an insider. Otherwise, how can outsiders know so much about the bank's security system? "

Margaret thought for a while and couldn't help but nodded in agreement.

Seeing that Chu Qianqian was silent, Hawkins knew that he was different from Margaret.

He continued, "Secondly, only people within the bank can expect that the contents of the vault should be kept secret.

Even if it is stolen, those customers will not report the loss in person. "

Chu Xiangqian's eyes lit up after hearing this. If he thought about it carefully, a customer who had lost something might really not want the police to know what he had lost.

He even didn't want the outside world to know that he had deposited something in this bank.

Now Chu Xiangqian felt relieved.

Just a short while later, there was news on the radio that Elder Bank stated that the bank had lost at least 2000 million pounds in cash.

Not only will Scotland Yard take over this case, but MI5 will also participate in the investigation.
