Chapter 1275 The Death of Simon
While the people below were fighting to death, Sir Zhang started wandering around on the deck.
Huh——
Just when he walked to the location where a machine gun was originally set up, a man suddenly stood up in a pile of debris next to him. He was also holding a steel pipe.
At this time, accompanied by a burst of wind, the steel pipe hit the back of Sir Zhang's head heavily.
The person hiding here is none other than Simon, the mastermind of the gold case.
Seeing that it was about to hit Zhang Pin, Simon couldn't help but be happy.
When the grenade dropped by Sir Zhang destroyed the machine gun position, Simon began to feel bad.
Later, when he called all his men to hide in the cabin, he kept a cautious eye and did not hide in together, but hid on the deck.
A speedboat was placed where he was hiding, and there was a lot of gold in the speedboat.
Simon was a smart man. With two helicopters hovering above the cabin for surveillance, he knew that hiding in the cabin was just a slow death.
So he deliberately let his men hide while he prepared to take the opportunity to escape.
Originally Simon's plan was very good, but who would have thought that at this time, Ethan and others did not forget to leave manpower on the deck.
In fact, what Simon didn't know was that the reason why Zhang Pin stayed on the deck was just being lazy.
In addition, there is another reason, and that is Simon himself.
This guy planted thousands of pounds of bombs in the cabin.
Although Sir Zhang has the confidence to escape the explosion, it is certainly impossible for the others on the ship. When the time comes, he will be the only living person on the ship, and the scene will naturally be ugly.
Not to mention that Chen Jiaju was also acting together this time. The other person was specially called by Zhang Pin to help him. Of course, he could not watch the other person die.
He stayed directly on the deck for a simple purpose. If there really was an explosion below, Sir Zhang would have more room to play.
Who would have thought that Sir Zhang only regarded himself as an insurance policy, but now this insurance policy has actually played more roles.
So Simon's surefire blow failed.
Poof——
“Ah——”
Sir Zhang didn’t even look back, he faced the back and pulled the trigger.
The bullet penetrated Simon's chin and exited through the top of his head.
Danglang——
The steel pipe he was holding fell directly to the ground.
"Uh-huh--"
Simon opened his mouth and raised his hand to block the wound on his chin, but although he blocked the wound on his chin, he still couldn't stop it. The energy drained from the body.
“I don’t want to die——”
Simon obviously didn't expect that he would die here so hastily after having done such a big thing and being the first person to rob the Federal Reserve of so much gold.
Simon barely said a word, and then he fell down. Blood quickly flowed to the deck. His body was motionless, and he was obviously dead.
Zhang Pin didn’t know the other party’s inner thoughts. If he knew, he would only think that Simon was naive. From the moment the other party planned to rob the Federal Reserve’s gold, he should have thought that he was already a dead person. .
After all, the Federal Reserve, as the producer of the U.S. dollar, is one of the important means for America to maintain its hegemony. The reason why the U.S. dollar can be used as an international currency is that, in addition to America’s own hegemony, there is another The reason is that the Federal Reserve has stored the largest amount of gold in the world, so its own status cannot be shaken.
Simon stole the Federal Reserve's gold, whether it is a ton, a kilogram or even just a gram, it means that the Federal Reserve's greatest guarantee is not absolute safety.
Then those forces and individuals who hold large amounts of U.S. dollars will naturally consider whether their wealth will be affected, and they will definitely choose an alternative that can better ensure that their wealth is not affected.
With this trend, even if we cannot find a more suitable substitute for the US dollar for the time being, this matter will never pass.
So whether it is the Fed or other forces, Simon who did this must die.
Simon may not have thought of this, but he still did it. The bigger reason is that he obviously has his own reliance on this matter. For example, he knows the dirty information of some people within the Federal Reserve Bank. Or feel that you can protect yourself.
But obviously he still thinks too highly of himself.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, I'm quite prepared, but it's a pity that it's useless."
After killing Simon with one shot, Zhang Pin also saw the speedboat hidden in the cargo pile and the gold on it. He did not get close. Instead he shook his head.
Simon's plan seems good, but with just a speedboat, it is impossible for him to escape the pursuit of so many forces, so even without Sir Zhang, everything he is preparing now is in vain.
Then Sir Zhang took out his mobile phone and made a call to Warren who was far away in Luoji Mountain.
"Things are done! Prepare to find someone to take over. By the way, there is a big gap between the gold we found and the total amount of gold lost."
Although this case was not led by Warren, and even Warren did not intervene in the matter, Zhang Pin still called Warren as soon as the matter was resolved.
The reason for this is that firstly, Zhang Pin's relationship with Warren in the Bureau of Investigation is itself, and secondly, the gold case itself is abnormal and involves corruption within the Federal Reserve.
This group of moles was very courageous and caused such a huge loss. When they were worried about being exposed because of Sir Zhang's interference, they actually planned a robbery plan to close their positions.
Although the person who robbed the gold has been brought to justice, gold cannot be created out of thin air.
So Sir Zhang did not let down his guard, but contacted Warren immediately and told him about another matter.
Zhang Pin: "The batch of gold we took from the Braga home last time was most likely from within the Federal Reserve."
Warren: "No wonder, you pay attention to safety, how is Simon now? ”
Warren was not surprised by Zhang Pin’s statement, but felt as if he had suddenly realized it.
As a member of the American system, he naturally knows more about how courageous the internal personnel are.
In fact, it is not just people from the Federal Reserve who are doing things like this. Naturally, the Bureau of Investigation cannot be clean either.
It just depends on how far it goes. For example, the Bureau of Investigation has the authority to seize the assets of criminals. After catching the criminals, part of the cash will be handed over, and the rest will be converted into cash and handed over.
However, the specific pricing of the product is not based on the market price, but is confirmed by the pricing personnel within the Investigation Bureau.
Of course, in order to save face, after pricing the products, the Bureau of Investigation will nominally hold an auction, and then put all these products up for auction.
In this way, because the operation is based on the highest bidder, it is natural to set the price lower.
But such auctions are often only known to insiders. Although the Investigation Bureau has procedures such as public announcements, it is often difficult for ordinary people to see this information.
And even if they saw it, the location where the auction was held was only by invitation, and ordinary people couldn't enter at all.
Even if someone can get in, it is difficult to get a chance to raise a placard.
So in such auctions, the final transaction price is often reached at a reserve price, and these reserve prices are often less than one-tenth of the market price. There are even many large quantities of goods that have no bidders, which ultimately lead to unsuccessful auctions.
When this happens, after the auction ends, the pricer will lower the valuation again on the grounds that the price is too high.
After doing this several times, the goods were reduced to a bone-breaking price, and then they were auctioned off at the lowest price.
After Warren reminded Zhang Pin to pay attention to safety, he also asked a more critical question.
Zhang Pin: "Dead!"
Zhang Pin kicked Simon, but he didn't move at all. It was obvious that he couldn't die anymore.
Warren: "Then it'll be fine. You just need to hand over normally. You don't need to worry about other things. However, you still have to be careful to be careful of someone having inappropriate thoughts."
Warren was relieved to hear that Simon was dead.
Under normal circumstances, he would naturally not want to mess with the Fed. After all, the other party has money, and who knows what he will do.
Now Simon, who acted as a white glove for some people, is dead. Although the gold recovered is not enough, everyone knows it well.
If you are a smart person, then it is best to complete the task like this.
But Warren did not forget to remind Zhang Pin to be careful. Some people are really not smart, but they are able to control enough wealth or power, and then do a lot of bad things that leave people speechless.
Zhang Pin: "Well, I understand. You can contact the people from the Investigation Bureau to take over."
Zhang Pin nodded, deeply agreeing with Warren's reminder.
"Sir Zhang, the people below have been solved, but there are two bad news. Hey, who is that?"
Just after Zhang Pin finished the phone call, Partridge entered the cabin. Qicai came out at this time and reported the following situation to Zhang Pin.
“What news?”
Zhang Pin knew what Partridge wanted to say, but he still asked. After all, they performed well this time and subdued Simon's men in deep danger, so naturally they had to give them a chance to perform.
Partridge: "The first bad news is that we didn't find Simon. According to his men, he has run away."
"The second bad news is that they robbed There is not a ton of gold, or there is none on this ship One ton, the foreign devil said, only two hundred kilograms at most. "
When Partridge talked about this matter, there was still a bit of excitement on his face. Simon was the main culprit in this case, and the other party ran away. If so, they will continue to pursue.
Partridge has no objection to continuing the pursuit, because if he stays in London for one more day, he can get one day's subsidy.
What worries him is that he has not found all the gold, because he is worried about whether his bonus will be reduced.
“Simon didn’t run away, he is here.”
After listening to Partridge Cai’s words, Zhang Pin pointed at Simon who was lying in a pool of blood.
Partridge Cai's face suddenly fell.
"So is our case over?" He asked Zhang Pin cautiously.
"Of course! Why, you can't bear to part with it?"
Of course Zhang Pin can't fail to see Partridge Cai's little thoughts.
"Where, where, I hope the case is over, hehehe, hehehe."
Although Partridge Cai is a little regretful that he can no longer receive subsidies, his happiness is not fake. , because now that the case is over, it means that Sir Zhang will pay him a bonus.
Partridge Cai had experience with Zhang Pin's generosity, so he couldn't help laughing when he thought that he might get a large amount of income.
Phew——
While Partridge was thinking about his income, Zhang Pin then picked up a gold brick from the speedboat and threw it away.
“This is included as a souvenir for you, keep it.”
Anyway, the total number of gold does not match up, and Sir Zhang worked so hard on the case this time, so how much should he keep? It is natural to use gold as a souvenir.
The piece of gold he threw to Partridge was a one kilogram gold brick. At the current gold price of almost 400 US dollars per gram, this piece was worth 40,000 US dollars.
Forty thousand dollars is the annual income of a middle-class family in America.
If converted into Hong Kong dollars, it would be over 300,000.
Partridge Cai's eyes suddenly lit up. He knew that he would definitely make money by following Zhang Pin. No, the souvenir Zhang Pin gave him was almost half a year's worth of business for the Five Lucky Star Cleaning Company. Uh-huh.
“Thank you, Sir Zhang.”
Partridge smiled happily and put the gold in his trouser pocket.
"Let them all come out, and then hand over, we will not stay here anymore."
Zhang Pin nodded, accepted Partridge Cai's thanks, and then directed the other party to inform Ethan and others .
When Ethan heard Zhang Pin’s arrangement, he didn’t pay much attention to it. He also pretended not to notice that Zhang Pin asked Chen Jiaju to take a piece of gold as a souvenir.
He is a smart man. When he found out that there was not enough gold and Simon ran away again, he originally thought that this ship was Simon's trick to lure them away.
But when Partridge came down and said that Simon was shot and killed by Zhang Pin, he realized belatedly that there must be something he didn't know about this gold case.
So when he heard Zhang Pin said that he wanted to transfer the case to the investigation bureau, he did not refuse.
"By the way, you are responsible for handling the bombs Simon left behind. Don't detonate them."
Zhang Pin feels a little pity for Ethan's knowledge. If the other party wants to stand up and fight for the dominance of the gold case, he will actually let it go.
After all, there will definitely be a period of wrangling with the Federal Reserve, and the other party will definitely not admit that Simon did not steal a ton of gold.
If Ethan takes the case to trial without knowing it, he will probably be tricked by people from the Federal Reserve Bank.
However, since the other party was interested, he was naturally not a stingy person, so he directly gave up the initiative on the explosive theft case.
Simon didn't just steal the Fed's gold, he also stole thousands of pounds of liquid bombs from a research center.
Just because the Federal Reserve Gold Case was so famous, the voice of this case was obscured.
But in fact this is also a very serious case.
Thousands of pounds of bombs can blow up the White House.
"Thank you, Sir Zhang."
Hearing Zhang Pin's words, Ethan naturally understood that the other party was sharing the credit with himself.
