Then, while Fan Keqin was having dinner with Miss Tong, he made a phone call to the nightclub on Luban Road. He confirmed the time with the person in charge of the other party's business and wanted to discuss the performance. In this way, Miss Tong understood that Fan Keqin had something to do at night.
After finishing the meal, I walked around with Miss Tong for a while to see if it was almost time. Miss Tong finally came to Luban Road with Fan Keqin. After saying goodbye to her, Fan Keqin ran out of time and strolled to a coffee shop on Luban Road.
It is said that Luban Road is within the French Concession, but later, as the war progressed, the Japs no longer cared about it, moved into the concession, and actually took control of the concession. But didn’t France give its head to Germany? Therefore, it’s not as if the little devils were forced to act so unscrupulously. Give me some face. And now the little devil is negotiating with the Wang Puppet, and wants to give the Wang Puppet control of the concession. In this way, it helps Wang Puppet gain face. You see, I took back the concession, so I’m pretty awesome. That’s why I am the authentic one with a bright future, and the Chongqing side is useless.
In fact, Wang Puppet is just a puppet of the little devil, and you have no use for taking it back. If the kid wants to get in, he can't get in at any time.
After entering the coffee shop, I quickly found my goal. In fact, I have never met Fan Keqin, so I naturally don’t know who he is. But the other party put the briefcase on the table, folded it into a rectangle with a piece of newspaper, and placed it on top. This is a sign of identity.
Fan Keqin smiled and ordered a cup of milk tea, then sat opposite this person. The other party was very young, about twenty-four or five years old, and they were separated at thirty-seven. Wearing a suit, there is a long black trench coat on an empty chair next to him. He has a pointed chin, a high nose, double eyelids, and a very energetic handsome guy.
The handsome guy raised his eyes and looked at Fan Keqin, put down his coffee cup, and said with a smile: "Is it... Mr. Qian who called me today to inquire about the stock account?"
"Hey, it's me. Then you are Mr. Sheng Jiang, right?" Fan Keqin smiled and stretched out his hand.
"Exactly." Sheng Jiang replied with a smile, and then shook hands with Fan Keqin.
After the two people sat down, Fan Keqin had a polite smile on his face, but asked directly: "Do you have news?"
"Yes." Sheng Jiang whispered: "The good news is that the thing is in the vault, I can already confirm it. But the bad news is that the thing is also in the vault, and the security is relatively tight. And the door of the vault is very thick, you Even if you use explosives to blow it up, it may not be able to explode. And the explosives that can explode may collapse the roof of the vault together."
"Yes." Fan Keqin nodded after hearing this and said, "Since you are sure that the thing is in the vault? Can you tell me why you are so sure?"
Sheng Jiang said: "I saw it with my own eyes." At this point, he kept silent. After the waiter put the milk tea ordered by Fan Keqin on the table and left, he continued: "Now the two managers of China Reserve Bank are fighting among themselves, both of them want to be the president. I followed Lin Shengbin and worked for him. deputy.
Competition, of course, involves being pretentious and working seriously. Yesterday, he just pretended to personally check the security of the Bank of China, so he entered the underground vault. As his deputy, I followed him and went in. The printing plate is in a metal box in the vault. But I only saw it when he was checking the reserves, silver, and banknotes in the treasury. But the iron box had indeed not been opened, so I was sure because they were very sure when they said it, and the ones who were close were also more serious, so I was sure. But if you ask me if I have seen the money printing plate, I will tell you that I have not. Because the iron box has not been opened. "
Fan Keqin nodded, indicating that he understood what the other party meant. Then he asked: "How big is that iron box?"
Sheng Jiang said: "It's not big. It's probably a little smaller than my briefcase. It's about two bunches long and one and a half bunches wide." As he spoke, he opened his left hand and pressed it on the table, showing Fan Keqin one of his How long is the tie?
Then Sheng Jiang added: "The thickness is about fifteen centimeters."
"Yeah." Fan Keqin took out the cigarette, lit it and took a puff. Yes, smoking is allowed these days. Then he asked: "In other words, as long as you enter the vault, you can leave with the iron box?"
"Yes." Sheng Jiang said: "That iron box should also be special, with a black handle on it. The box is gray iron color, with the words "Reserve Manufacturing" printed on it, which is easy to recognize. I guess the whole box is also unique. Anyone can carry up to five kilograms. But the difficulty is how to enter the door of the vault. That is the key. Before I came, I thought that cutting with gas welding would be too time-consuming. Unless it is at night, but it is still not guaranteed. . And the person who cuts it must be very accurate and cut every locking point, otherwise, it will be impossible to cut it in one night."
Fan Keqin asked: "How thick is the door of the vault?"
Sheng Jiang said: "I estimated it visually, about two hundred millimeters."
Grass! It is nearly twice as thick as the front armor of the Tiger tank. It's really not possible to use explosives. Unless a lot of explosives are planted, but doing so may really blow up the underground vault as Sheng Jiang said.
Fan Keqin asked: "How do you open the vault door normally?"
Sheng Jiang said: "I followed Lin Shengbin through the whole process. The vault was very easy to open. There is a key. After inserting it, turn it to the right. Then turn the upper and lower metal plates that look like steering wheels. Turn the top one first, turn it to the left, and then turn it to the right. to the end. Then twist the metal plate below, and twist it to the right all the way. Then you can open the door of the vault. This sequence is the order of operations when I watched them open the vault."
"Well." Fan Keqin said: "Where is the key you mentioned? Whose is it?"
"It was in the hands of the security team leader on duty that day." Sheng Jiang said, "I guess the two managers should also have it."
Fan Keqin asked: "Is there any other opportunity to open the vault, for example, put in gold or something."
"Yes." Sheng Jiang said: "But it requires a large sum of gold. The salesman and the lobby manager took the formalities together, went down to the underground vault, showed the formalities to the security team leader on duty, and registered. Then the security team on duty The chief took out the key and opened the vault door himself. The opening and closing of the vault door needed to be completed by the security team leader, but he didn't care about other things."
Fan Keqin flicked the ash from his cigarette and asked: "What are the security guards in your bank like? Do you know..."
