Chapter 574: Finding the stolen money
“How could it be? Anyway, our task is to help Richard find the stolen money. As for dealing with criminals, as the professor himself said, we still need to find It’s really too troublesome to provide evidence.”
Because Richard was beside him, Zhang Pin did not admit it directly. After all, it didn’t make him look too bad.
Chen Jin wanted to say something else, but the two of them had worked together for a long time, and they really had a tacit understanding.
So he clearly felt that Sir Zhang didn't seem to want to speak, so he didn't say anything else.
"Sir Zhang, since the place where the money was hidden has been found, according to the rules, I have to report it to the superiors. They may send someone over."
Chen Jin did not speak, but Richard who was driving the car spoke.
"It doesn't matter, just inform us, we are here to help."
Zhang Pin naturally doesn't care about this.
So Richard immediately called his boss.
Hearing the other party calling in front of him, Zhang Pin actually liked this fat man.
If nothing else, at least in terms of life and work, this fat man is really open-minded.
The car drove all the way and arrived near the location told by the professor.
This is an abandoned warehouse awaiting demolition and renovation.
A large amount of construction debris accumulated at the door, blocking the door and making it impossible for cars to get in.
The surrounding walls are quite complete. It can be seen that when the warehouse was still in operation, a lot of construction should have been done. Now, even though the warehouse is abandoned, the city walls are in good repair.
"Ah Tou!"
"Sir Zhang!"
After Chen Jin called back, Ma Jun and others had already cordoned off the place.
“Have you ever looked inside? Is there anyone inside?”
After getting off the car, Zhang Pin looked at Ma Jun and asked the other party while Richard and the others walked inside.
“After a rough inspection, I found that there was a locked house inside. I wasn’t sure if it was locked, so I didn’t break it open.”
“As for people, I didn’t see anyone inside the house. As for the outside, we don’t have enough manpower. After the military uniforms came, many reporters followed, and there were many curious citizens. We didn’t check the ID cards of each one, so we were not sure if there would be anyone inside. "< br>
Ma Jun was a little embarrassed.
Zhang Pin didn't say anything. After all, what he asked Chen Jin to do before was just to let the other party lead the team.
As long as this is accomplished, the rest will be fine.
Everyone walked inside together. Looking from the outside, the warehouse was in tatters and it was indeed time to be scrapped.
After all, with the several plans of Hong Kong Island, there are all new high-rise buildings here, and the original factories have been moved away, so there is no point in leaving just one warehouse.
But after walking inside, Zhang Pin guessed that this warehouse was probably not a stronghold of some force staying here.
Because not only the walls have been renovated, it is different from other warehouses that just use iron rooms to separate simple spaces.
The further you go inside, the layout doesn't look like a warehouse, but more like offices or dormitories.
And it is not the kind of iron dormitory, but made of wooden boards or unknown decorative materials, and the partitions are very nice.
Even entering here from the outside requires an access card.
The warehouse had not even lost power yet. Zhang Pin looked up and found a running camera.
"Go to the street and have people come in to check the circuit and find where the computer room is!"
Zhang Pin felt a little unhappy, and he doubted whether he had been tricked by the professor.
And it was only then that he realized belatedly that he seemed to trust the other party's news a little too much.
Or maybe he is too confident in his own strength and feels that the other party will not lie to him.
But the warehouse the other party is talking about now doesn't look like it's abandoned at all. Instead, it looks like it's being run by someone.
"Um, Atou, we have found the computer room before. We turned on the monitoring equipment here proactively. It was originally closed."
After hearing Zhang Pin's words, Ma Jun immediately stood up and explained.
“Did you turn it on?”
Hearing what the other party said, Zhang Pin felt relieved.
He thought this was the warehouse that was originally opened. Doesn’t that mean that every move he and others make is likely to be seen by others?
If it was opened by someone of your own, it wouldn’t be a big deal.
wrong.
Zhang Pin was still a little disappointed when he thought of the camera.
Because he was actually so enthusiastic about helping Richard find this batch of stolen money, except because the task was arranged by the director and it was difficult to refuse.
He also had another thought.
That is, after finding the money, instead of handing it to Interpol, find a way to recharge it all into the system.
But now that there are cameras and there are so many people around, if you recharge rashly.
Although no evidence will be left behind, it can easily arouse the suspicion of others.
Some things are more coincidental, and may be discovered by interested people.
Everyone continued to walk inside, and soon arrived at the place where Ma Jun said they were locked.
Good guy, when he saw an iron door with more than ten strings of iron chains welded on it, and more than a dozen large locks tightly locking the iron chains, Zhang Pin was stunned for a moment. I don’t know what to say.
"Find someone to open them all!"
Zhang Pin immediately arranged for someone to do the work.
The people who opened the locks were arranged quickly. After all, there were so many welded iron chains that it would be too slow to open the locks using conventional methods. Chen Jin directly arranged for two small cutting machines.
As sparks began to flicker at the door, soon all the iron chains and big locks on the iron door were removed.
When the door opened, Zhang Pin's hand shook, and two pistols appeared in his hand.
It was not that he wanted to kill anyone, but to guard against possible dangers in the room.
"Sir Zhang, I heard that you have found the stolen money."
Before he could enter, another wave of people walked into the warehouse.
Zhang Pin turned his head and saw that he didn't recognize this group of people.
“Didn’t our people tell you before?”
Richard stood up immediately, and Zhang Pin was stunned.
On the way here, the other party had already informed his buddy in front of him.
These people are obviously Interpol from Interpol's Hong Kong Island headquarters.
"Sir Zhang, I have long admired your name! I am Interpol Superintendent Zhang Huahan."
Zhang Pin did not expect that the other party actually sent a superintendent, and a large group of people followed behind him. It's more than twenty.
But I felt relieved when I thought that there were 80 million US dollars in stolen money.
With such a large amount of money, it is not a big deal to have a superintendent and bring more people.
This man is very polite and knows how to bow to the mountain as soon as he comes.
"Hello, Superintendent Zhang is here just in time. We have just opened the lock and haven't had time to go in yet. Why don't you go take a look for yourselves."
Since you are not ready to top up, Zhang Pin I didn't have much interest in going in to check it out.
"Let's go together. To be honest, I'm still very nervous now."
When Superintendent Zhang heard that Zhang Pin didn't want to go in, he immediately grabbed his hand and invited him to go in together. When the opponent grabbed his arm, Zhang Pin almost raised the muzzle of his gun and pulled the trigger.
It’s not that he is cautious, but that money and silk attract people’s hearts.
Eighty million U.S. dollars. Although the other party is Interpol, Zhang Pin would not be surprised if he really does something shady.
Such a large sum of money, if these people had the means to take it away, would be enough to spend at will in their lifetime.
However, he did not pull the trigger in the end because the other party obviously did not look like a gangster.
"Okay, then I'll go and broaden my horizons, Jin Zai, Ma Jun, you guys wait for me outside."
Faced with the other party's invitation, Zhang Pin thought about it and decided, Agree.
"Okay, Richard, let's go in together, and you are waiting outside."
When Superintendent Zhang heard what Zhang Pin said, he immediately arranged for the people behind him to wait outside. He only called Richard, the person in charge, to go in with him.
Before entering, Superintendent Zhang handed Zhang Pin a portable camera with a smile.
"Sir Zhang, please wear this recorder for a while so that you can write the report later."
Zhang Pin did not resist. As the other party said, there was 80 million US dollars in it.
If part of it has been spent by criminals, or if it is missing, it will be difficult for them to explain if there is no camera.
The three of them put on the recorders, and then Sir Zhang opened the door. Richard followed him, and Zhang Pin stood at the back, still holding a pistol in his hand.
Superintendent Zhang stood at the door and waited. Then he saw a switch next to him and pressed it directly.
Click—click—
As the switch was pressed, a series of lights also lit up.
The three of them walked in one after another.
Zhang Pin was alert for a while, and then found no danger, and then he looked at the entire room.
The room is actually not too big, but it is not small either. It is estimated to be about fifty square meters.
If it is used for residence, fifty square meters is certainly not small, but this is a warehouse, and fifty square meters is really not enough.
The room was filled with large and small wooden boxes. Just by glancing at them, Zhang Pin found that there were no less than twenty boxes.
There is something in the innermost part of the room that is covered by a blue curtain.
Because the space is not very large, most boxes are placed on top of each other.
Superintendent Zhang, who was walking at the front, stepped forward quickly and walked to a wooden box.
Zhang Pin also followed the other party forward, and then he discovered that this was not a wooden box, but a wooden frame made of wooden boards.
“Look for any handy tools and pry them open.”
The three of them observed for a while, and Zhang Pin found that the wooden frames here were all nailed, so he wanted to use his bare hands It must be a little difficult to open.
"There's a crowbar!"
Richard's eyes were sharp, and he saw the crowbar placed in the corner first.
Coming over with a crowbar, Richard found that neither Zhang Pin nor his leader had any intention of taking action, so he could only automatically find a wooden frame and use the crowbar to reach into the gap. , and then pried it up hard.
Click——
Richard’s fatness is not in vain.
He easily pried up one side of the box, so he changed the position and kept trying.
Click——
This time he directly pried up both sides, so that only one side of the entire wooden frame cover was still nailed.
Superintendent Zhang seemed a little anxious about this and quickly stepped forward and opened the wooden frame.
“Why are they arms!”
Superintendent Zhang was obviously disappointed.
“It seems that they not only used it to hide stolen money, but also placed so many arms, and they have a grand plan!”
Zhang Pin took a closer look and found that everything inside was short-term. And look at the style.
“This is a beautiful weapon!”
He picked up a short punch, then disassembled it and looked at it, and found that these weapons were brand new and unopened.
"Open a few more boxes and have a look."
Zhang Pin was tempted. Since money can't be recharged, let's add some weapons to the mustard space.
It just so happened that he also consumed a lot of weapons and bullets during this period. The equipment here is very good, so it’s best to get some.
Richard continued working with the crowbar, and Zhang Pin followed him. He soon discovered that there were not only short-range weapons in the warehouse, but also various pistols, bullets, grenades, bulletproof vests and even Helmets are also available.
“Sir Zhang, something is wrong, this looks like an old American material storage warehouse!”
Compared to Zhang Pin, Superintendent Zhang, as an Interpol police officer, naturally has wider knowledge.
He followed Zhang Pin. After seeing Richard pry open four or five boxes in a row, he immediately guessed which power was here.
"Then let's go inside and have a look!"
After seeing so many beautiful weapons, Zhang Pin actually guessed that this should be a warehouse specially used to store supplies.
However, he put down his worries. So many weapons confirmed his conjecture.
The professor must be a pawn pushed out by others.
Since the other party knows such a hidden place, the stolen money must not have escaped here.
Hearing Zhang Pin's words, Superintendent Zhang nodded, and then the three of them continued walking inside.
After getting closer, Superintendent Zhang took the initiative to walk to the other side, and then he stretched out his hand and put it on the curtain.
Richard also quickly stepped forward and held the other side.
Then the two of them used their strength in tacit agreement to pull down the entire curtain.
Crash——
As the curtain was pulled down, a cabinet made of transparent glass appeared in front of the three of them.
"Wow - it's stolen money!"
Richard shouted excitedly.
Zhang Pin was also distracted by the banknotes that almost filled the glass cabinet in front of him.
Eighty million!
If you just look at the numbers, you may not feel much, but when 80 million U.S. dollars are piled up in front of you, and they are contained in transparent glass, the shock is really difficult to use language to describe.
"Why do you all say that this money is stolen money? How did so much money flow to Hong Kong Island?"
After regaining consciousness, Zhang Pin looked at it curiously The two of them asked their own questions.
In fact, Zhang Pin has already roughly guessed why everyone said this money was stolen money.
Because this large amount of money has a face value of one hundred dollars.
One hundred U.S. dollars may not seem like much, but you have to know that although the U.S. dollar bills in the United States have a face value of one hundred, because the purchasing power of U.S. dollars is relatively strong, they are actually widely circulated in the market. The face value is mainly twenty.
If the professor and others did not move the stolen money, there would be a total of 800,000 pieces of one hundred face value here.
The reason why Zhang Pin is curious is that so many hundred-dollar bills are circulating in Hong Kong Island.
