Chapter 394 Chapter 391 You Pour Yours, I Steal Mine
When the news came that Director Pace was attacked again, Zhuang Xuteng and his team were preparing for action, and Morgana was among them. Their target was the "Friendly Treasury Asset Investment Company" located in Shangcheng District. Its surface business was to provide guaranteed loans, but its actual business was to launder money and handle some stolen goods for the Canghuo Gang.
The investment company has established a quite complete business network through equity participation, including pawns, mortgages, auctions, leasing and re-guarantees. It uses these channels to carry out a complete set of complex operations, turning the gang's gray and black income into Legal funds recognized by banks are then invested in higher-level financial markets. Part of the funds flowed to Dingxin Magic, the parent company of the Canghuo Gang. While the Canghuo Gang collects protection fees, they also have to pay protection fees. He is indeed not the producer of protection money, just a porter.
Generally speaking, the money laundering industry requires that black money be digested and disposed of as soon as possible after it comes in, and will not be accumulated and stored in large quantities at its headquarters. The same is true for Friendly Treasury. However, after they complete the money laundering, in addition to creating a series of numbers in the banking system, they will also exchange some valuable instruments, such as withdrawal certificates, convertible bonds, bearer certificates of deposit, etc. Because of its special characteristics other than currency, platinum coins will also be hoarded. These are Zhuang Xuteng's goals.
For this operation, Zhuang Xuteng had been investigating next to the Friendly Treasury for three days, changing his identity through disguise each time. He made a plan to do it in the evening when they got off work. After the team members assembled, they rented two rooms in a hotel two hundred meters away from the Friendly Treasury. They gave a lot of tips and asked the waiter to put the beds into one room and change the other into a card room. They made a gesture of having fun playing cards here and not letting anyone disturb them so that they could carry out operations here.
"Pace is not dead. He was shot four times, all of which missed his vital points. He is at the Second Hospital and has regained consciousness." Morgana put down her phone and told Zhuang Xuteng the news. "He was really lucky, but the quality of his implant was very good, which is why he survived."
"Not dead? What kind of implant did he use?" Ge Gongdao pointed his finger at his chest and said, "I saw the TV picture. He was shot four times in the chest, but all the vital parts were avoided?"
"I don't know the specific model, but I'm sure it's not a civilian armor skin on the market, at least it's military grade." Morgana said, "Now I know that Pace was in a car accident when he was a child, and his entire chest collapsed, and all of them were modified with implants. The functional implant is too heavy for a child and is troublesome to replace, so his family used an armored implant - to put it simply, it is not only strong but also strong. "
"It's also his good luck." Zhuang Xuteng frowned slightly, thought carefully, and said: "His immortality will be of great benefit to the PCPD, especially it proves that the PCPD is indeed fighting bravely against extremely vicious enemies. The Constitutional City Government will increase its efforts to With the investment of PCPD, this is a good opportunity for Pace himself. Hum, I even think that he may have arranged this shooting. "
Ge Gongdao shook his head and said: "No, I don't want to. I watched the news footage and the gunman's hands were shaking a little when he was shooting. It couldn't have been arranged by him. If I want to find someone to act in such a play, I will definitely Find someone who can hit it accurately.”
"Oh, it turns out there is this detail. I didn't look carefully. It seems that Pace is just lucky." Zhuang Xuteng spread his brows, smiled, and said: "It doesn't matter if you are lucky or unlucky, as long as you are not smart and vicious. Just people. The PCPD and gangs have to worry about it in Pace, so let’s just concentrate on the action!”
Nightingale secretly glanced at Morgana, then nodded and said: "For safety reasons, I would like to go over the plan again, okay?"
Zhuang Xuteng nodded, he understood Nightingale's intentions. Nightingale must have thought that Morgana, who was participating in the mercenary mission for the first time, was a little too nervous. She was worried that this nervousness would cause problems, so she thought that going through the mission a few more times and allowing Morgana to focus on her role could effectively relieve the tension.
But what Morgana showed was not nervousness—at least not the kind of nervousness that worried her about not performing well. Zhuang Xuteng understood Morgana's thoughts and thought that she had suddenly changed from a law enforcement PCPD to a trainee mercenary robber. The change in identity made her excited and anxious, so she seemed very uncomfortable with it.
"It's okay to go through it again." Zhuang Xuteng said: "This mission is divided into three areas. A group of Holy Light Witches will observe the situation in the hall, find an opportunity to meet with today's manager on duty, and finally control him and get his key. Nightingale and Brother Dao are responsible for monitoring the perimeter and intercepting their calls for help, and are ready to respond at any time. Yanque, this time you got your wish. You are responsible for invading the network from the inside, and I am responsible for cleaning up. On the way to the vault. After Morgana gets the key, we will open the vault together and then we will take out the valuable platinum coins and various securities."
"It doesn't sound... very technical." Morgana sighed and said, "This plan feels like rushing in, smashing the window with a hammer, taking the contents and running away... that is, the PCPD doesn't care about it right now. Well, the Canghuo Gang in this area is also a bit short of manpower, otherwise there would be no chance of success. ”
"Haha, the plan does sound very rough, but there is no need for a particularly sophisticated plan. The more sophisticated it is, the more it is linked to one another, and the less it can withstand unexpected events. There is strength in numbers, but there are many things to do, and that is also true." Zhuang Xuteng grabbed Morgana's hand and said, "The plan is simple, and the execution depends on ability. If the ability is strong enough, it will look very exciting in the end; if the ability is not strong, even if it succeeds, it will look like a brute force robbery."
"Okay, I have no experience in this area, so I will listen to you." Morgana shook Zhuang Xuteng's hand, signaling him not to worry about herself.
Seeing this scene, Ge Gongdao pinched his nose and resisted rolling his eyes. What do you mean by inexperience? The Holy Lady of Light is not the first time to act. She sneaked in with them to search for the Blue Savages before, and there was a battle during the period. Morgana only remembered Zhuang Xuteng and forgot about me, the Taoist brother, and the otter? Alas, you, the PCPD, just act, act to the Nightingale and the Rock Sparrow, and I don't know what the use of such performance is.
Zhuang Xuteng smiled and patted the back of Morgana's hand. Judging from her behavior of saying the wrong thing just now, Morgana is still a little nervous and her brain is not working well enough. But it doesn't matter. When the action is going on, everyone is in the communication channel, and they can dispel the last tension by chatting and cheering. As long as everyone takes care of each other, this thing can be done.
"Okay, start checking the disguise and act in an hour!"
It was 4:30 in the afternoon, and there was still an hour before the Friendly Vault closed. Morgana, who had put on makeup, walked in. She was wearing a mourning dress and covered her face with a black veil, which could naturally hide her facial information and pave the way for her subsequent actions.
She came this time nominally for an account of her husband. This account was opened by Taliyah a week ago. It was an investment account with 30,000 euros deposited into it. Some middle-level and above gang members would hand over their laundered money to the Friendly Vault for operation and make some long-term investment projects, just as pensions and unemployment deposits. As a newly widowed woman, Morgana wanted to take the money out of the account, which was one of the options prohibited when the account was established.
Therefore, she would have some conflicts with the clerk in front, and then she would ask to look up, preferably to be invited into the office of the manager on duty today. Zhuang Xuteng and Nightingale had already investigated, and they could solve the information system of the vault. The physical key needed to open the vault door was always on the duty manager.
When Morgana started to act, Zhuang Xuteng and Rock Sparrow also acted. Their target was the rest area on the fourth floor of the financial company, and they planned to jump in through the window. As long as they entered here, they would be inside, and then access the internal network from here, and then go all the way down to meet Morgana and the key.
Jumping out of the window sounds easy, and it is even harder in reality. The Friendly Vault Company has a total of five floors. This height is nothing in Peicheng, but it actually stands out. Around the Friendly Vault, at least within a radius of 200 meters, its height has no rivals. Especially the buildings adjacent to it are all one- and two-story small shops and food stores, mainly selling light luxury items, and focusing on the atmosphere when purchasing.
When these buildings were designed, the function of allowing people to jump into the windows of the buildings was not considered - after all, which building would consider this? However, the Friendly Vault also thought about the problem of theft, and each window was equipped with anti-theft fences, which were steel bars as thick as a thumb, which were enough for ordinary thieves.
However, it was not in compliance with fire safety regulations to have such fences on all windows, and an emergency passage must be left. This passage was arranged on the window of the lounge in the form of a hidden lock, which was directly opposite the parking lot behind the company, making it convenient for fire trucks to set up ladders. And this direction was very open and not close to any buildings, and the lounge was also a smoking area, so the windows here were always open.
Zhuang Xuteng had to take the rock sparrow and jump from the roof of the side building, pass the corner of the building, climb the anti-theft railings of the window, then open the hidden lock, and then get in through the window - this was not easy. Normal people could not find the jumping angle at all, and could not control the impact of grabbing the window railings at the end. But... if you master the floating technique of changing direction in the air, the difficulty would be greatly reduced.
"Although you are tied up with the tandem parachuting equipment, you still have to hold my shoulders tightly. Well, lie on my back, and you can reach your hands around the front to hold, but don't strangle my neck or affect my shoulders. If it affects the movement and we can't hold the railing, we will be shaken violently when we land, and that will be unpleasant."
Ya Que was lying on Zhuang Xuteng's back, with her head against his neck, secretly sniffing his scent. When she heard Zhuang Xuteng calling her, her face blushed for a moment, and then she pretended to be calm and said: "Don't worry, I'll close my eyes and stiffen my body, just pretending that I don't know anything."
"That's also a way." Zhuang Xuteng knew that levitation was contrary to human common sense of balance and would definitely cause discomfort, so closing his eyes and pretending to be dead was also a way. "Don't be nervous. Your heartbeat was not stable just now. I will inform you before I jump, don't be afraid."
"Can you hear my heartbeat?"
"Yes. My senses are quite sharp. In fact, I can hear not only the heartbeat, but also the bowel sounds." Zhuang Xuteng immediately made a gesture to silence her, and then used tactical sign language to tell her that there were people nearby, and she should hide and not be exposed.
Yan Que's small action was almost discovered by Zhuang Xuteng, and guilty conscience was inevitable. Fortunately, her professional ability was not bad, and she immediately adjusted her mood and state to cooperate with Zhuang Xuteng's actions. The two hid in the shadow of the building first, and then waited for Zhuang Xuteng to listen to the situation in the lounge.
Every boss wants employees to work 24 hours a day, so the workload is arranged as much as possible. As an employee, the closer it is to the end of the get off work day, the more nervous everyone is. Everyone wants to finish the work before the deadline and leave the company on time to avoid being "assigned by the boss". At this time, the lounge of the Friendly Vault is always empty, which has been repeatedly confirmed in previous investigations. They need to avoid mainly passers-by in the parking lot.
When the opportunity came, Zhuang Xuteng did not forget to inform Yan Que, and then started to run, accumulate power, and jump. With the help of the implant, Zhuang Xuteng can rise to a height of about three floors when he jumps with weight. This height is enough for him to perform levitation and change directions three to four times, avoiding most windows as much as possible and reaching their target directly.
Rock Sparrow really closed her eyes, and she was glad that she did so. The change of direction of the levitation technique made her feel nauseous, her ears were buzzing, and her head felt dizzy, which was a symptom of losing balance. She hugged Zhuang Xuteng tightly, and pressed her nose and mouth against his back, just to cover her mouth and nose and suppress the sound. In her heart, she had already given her life to Zhuang Xuteng and was ready to let him do whatever he wanted. However, just as these messy thoughts came to her mind, the flight time was up. Zhuang Xuteng firmly grasped the railing and lay on the wall like a spider.
The total distance was not far, and it was not a plane trip, so there was no time to think about it.
Zhuang Xuteng showed his usual professional attitude, completing the leap with the levitation technique, and stabilizing his body with supercomputing martial arts. The tentacles of the ghost servant had already reached the keyhole. The tentacles can be transformed according to Zhuang Xuteng's mind, and with the strong tactile perception brought by the seven flashes, it is like a master key, directly imitating the key teeth.
Generally, the force required to open a lock is very small, and the Wraith Servant can provide it. This kind of lock is no longer difficult for Zhuang Xuteng. However, large physical locks, especially heavy locks like the vault that are combined with the door, are beyond the power of the Wraith Servant. Zhuang Xuteng has always been cautious and dared not gamble with the vault door, so he still needs the help of the vault key and the duty manager.
The secret lock set on the window railing was opened by the Wraith Servant, and Zhuang Xuteng then wrapped the railing with Wraith Jelly and pulled it open. This place is rarely opened, and it is exposed to the rain and sun, so it is expected that it may make a creaking noise when it is active. The Wraith Jelly treats the vibration of the railing as an attack force to dissolve it, which can play a role in sound insulation.
"Buzz..." The sound that finally came out was only slightly louder than the harassment of mosquitoes. The two people got in through the railing, restored the railing, and then got into the tea room. Zhuang Xuteng took shelter here and listened to the communication, while Rock Sparrow had opened his head and began to search for the surrounding intranet signal.
