"Keep your movements small and don't make any noise. I guess there should be someone on duty in the basement." When Hans's four men entered the Jincheng branch from the main entrance, Tang Cheng immediately locked the door and whispered. After the four of them, Tang Cheng walked toward the basement with a pistol in hand. The basement of Jincheng Branch was built very cleverly. This four-story building already had a basement. After Jincheng Branch occupied this place, it reinforced and renovated the basement, and the entrance to the basement was actually rebuilt on the first floor. in a room.
Tang Cheng stood outside one of the doors and did not move for a long time. The other four people thought that Tang Cheng had suddenly suffered from hysteria. One of them reached out to get the door handle, but Tang Cheng stopped him. "This is the entrance to the basement. The guards are inside the door. This door is locked from the inside and cannot be opened from the outside." Tang Cheng's voice was very low, but to the ears of the other four people, it was no less than loud. A thunderclap. What does it mean that the door is locked from the inside and cannot be opened from the outside? So what else are we going to do?
Seeing that someone was about to speak, Tang Cheng quickly raised his finger to signal the other person not to make any noise. After looking down at his watch, a smile appeared on Tang Cheng's face. The memory fragments copied by Tang Cheng from Park Zhihao and Xu Yingzi did not contain much content, but they also included several key parts. First of all, after the Jincheng branch gets off work every day, only the guards on duty are left here. The branch manager will not come here again after get off work. The second is the basement of the Jincheng branch. Unlike other Japanese trading companies that were built in the backyard for better protection, it was directly transformed from the basement.
Then there is the situation of the night shift guards in Jincheng Branch. There are sixteen night guards in Jincheng Branch, divided into four shifts according to four people per shift. Every three hours, a shift will be changed to guard the first floor of Jincheng Branch. The basement of Jincheng Branch is converted from a basement. Among the four guards guarding the first floor, two guards will be assigned to guard the basement directly. Inside, the two guards stationed in the basement also take shifts every three hours.
The last item, and the most important one, is that there is no key to the basement of Jincheng Branch, because there are guards on duty 24 hours a day in the basement. Moreover, when the basement was designed at that time, the storage in the basement could only be locked from the inside, but it could not be opened from the outside. In other words, as long as the guards on duty inside the basement do not take the initiative to open the door, people from outside will have no way to enter. Unless they use a stupid method to blow open the door outside the basement with a gun, they can only stare at it. .
People who work in the Jincheng branch, especially the guards, all know that the door handle is just a decoration. If someone twists the door handle without knowing it, the guard on duty in the room will immediately close the second door of the basement and call the other guards upstairs. Of course, Tang Cheng would not choose to break through the door outside. He just looked down at his watch to confirm the time.
According to the memory fragments copied by Tang Cheng from Xu Yingzi, in a quarter of an hour, it will be the first shift of the night shift guards. At that time, the two guards on duty in the basement will also need to rotate. Therefore, Tang Cheng does not need to do anything now. He only needs to wait patiently for the shift time to come. When the time comes, someone will naturally take the initiative to open the door from inside. The four men sent by Hans saw that Tang Cheng looked confident, so they suppressed their impatience and just followed Tang Cheng's instructions and stood on the left and right sides of the door with their backs against the wall.
As time passed, Tang Cheng, who had been waiting outside the door, soon heard a sound coming from inside the door. Tang Cheng, who was originally standing in the corridor with his arms hanging naturally, immediately changed his body shape and spread his feet forward and back, looking as if he was about to take a lunge. The left hand is holding a short knife, the tip of the knife is turned up to the side of the body, while the right hand is empty, but stretched forward, and the palm is even more empty, which looks like a grasping hand.
Hans's four men looked puzzled, but looking at Tang Cheng's calm expression, it seemed that something was about to happen, so they just watched but did not ask any questions. After more than ten breaths, there was finally a sound coming from the silent room, as if someone was talking behind the door. The door handle turned slowly under everyone's gaze. As everyone's breathing became heavier, the door was finally opened from the inside. The voices that were originally inaudible suddenly became clear.
"Xiaoquan and the others must have been playing cards upstairs again and forgot the time. I'll go up..." A slightly hoarse voice came out from the crack in the door. Upon hearing the voice, Tang Cheng immediately sank, and then lunged forward. out. The door was opened just a crack. The people inside the door didn't even see Tang Cheng holding a short knife outside the door. Tang Cheng pounced forward, and the unknown man inside was still pulling the door. This gave Tangcheng a chance.
"Poof!" Tang Cheng jumped forward, his left hand at his side thrust forward like lightning, the tip of the knife passed through the gap in the open door and stabbed straight into the opponent's neck. If it had been anyone else at this moment, they might have chosen to pierce the opponent's neck directly with the tip of the knife, but that was not the case in Tang Cheng. When the tip of the knife barely touched the opponent's neck, Tang Cheng's left hand suddenly came up. Picking it up, the tip of the short knife penetrated the man's chin, and then the tip of the knife pointed upwards and penetrated straight into the skull cavity.
If the brain is damaged, no matter who it is, it will definitely end in a narrow escape. Even if it can be saved, it may only be a vegetative state or an idiot. Perhaps Tang Cheng's dagger was too sharp, or maybe Tang Cheng's movements were too fast. The man who was stabbed in the head by the dagger just started twitching as if he had suffered from epilepsy, but he didn't die on the spot. Tang Cheng, who succeeded in the blow, did not pause. He stretched out his right hand forward and pushed open the door. When he stepped into the door with his right foot, he directly brushed the body of the person who had been hit by the knife and rushed into the room.
Tang Cheng's sudden attack came without any warning. His sudden lowering of his body was like a cheetah that was about to pounce on prey. Tang Cheng moved too fast. Although the four people standing on both sides of the door were already staring at Tang Cheng, they still couldn't keep up with Tang Cheng's movements. By the time the four of them reacted, Tang Cheng had already rushed into the room, and what was left to them was a body with epilepsy that kept spewing plasma from its chin.
This room used to hide the entrance to the basement was a disguise. Although the room was decorated like an office, the actual tables, chairs, and sofas in the room were just useless furnishings. When Tang Cheng rushed into the room, the floor in the east corner of the room had been lifted up, and a guy with half the top of his head bald was climbing up on a ladder from the basement. Of the two guards guarding the basement, one was stabbed by Tang Cheng with a short knife at the door and became a patient with epilepsy, while the other was climbing out of the basement. Tang Cheng's sudden appearance made the guard who climbed out of the basement freeze. on the ladder.
"Poof!" There was a soft sound, and the pistol suddenly appeared in Tang Cheng's right hand. The gun flame flashed, and the bald man standing frozen at the entrance of the basement fell back and collapsed on the ladder. Tang Cheng's shot was extremely accurate. The bullet entered through the temple of the bald guard and then exited from the temple on the other side. This was a direct hit. "I'll go down and take a look first. You guys put the body aside so that it won't get in the way later!"
Tang Cheng lifted the body from the ladder at the entrance to the basement with one hand and threw it aside. Then, after giving an explanation, he stepped on the ladder and went down to the basement alone. It can be seen that the people of Jincheng Co., Ltd. have also put a lot of thought into this basement. The basement is not only ventilated and dry, but also equipped with electric lights and telephones. Even in a corner of the basement, Tang Cheng saw a water tank filled with clean water and some biscuit cans, which were obviously prepared for the guards to deal with emergencies.
Although Jincheng Co., Ltd. has a certain scale, it is only a Japanese trading company after all, so this basement looks different from a bank's vault. Tang Cheng stepped on the ladder and went down to the basement. He found that the area of the basement was not small, but it looked empty. However, in the middle of the basement, there was a pile of bulges covered by military canvas. When Tang Cheng saw the safe or the gold brick wall in the basement for the first time, he already guessed what the bulges were, so he walked over and took off the military canvas.
Sure enough, covered by the military canvas were several nailed wooden boxes. Tang Cheng used a short knife to pry open one of the wooden boxes, only to find that it contained gold bricks that he had smelted one by one. Tang Cheng was not slow in his actions. He had already pried open and checked all the wooden boxes here before Hans's four men came down. damn it! After prying open all the boxes, Tang Cheng discovered that the information obtained by the National Salvation Army after leaving office was not very accurate, because the gold here seemed to be at least close to 300 kilograms.
Tang Cheng originally thought that there was only close to 200 kilograms of gold here, so he only brought four helpers. But now it seems that there is no way to transport all the gold. In addition to nearly 300 kilograms of gold, there are also two boxes containing U.S. dollars. I took the risk to come here, but it turned out that because of insufficient manpower, I could not take away all the gold and U.S. dollars. Tangcheng himself felt that he was at a loss. .
Just when Tang Cheng was secretly feeling sad, four of Hans' men also went down the ladder to the basement. Like Tang Cheng, when they saw these boxes containing gold, the first thing that came to their minds was What comes to mind is how to get rid of so much gold! "Don't look at me. I didn't expect it to be like this. The information I received said that there is no more than 200 kilograms of gold here. Now it looks like it is almost 300 kilograms!"
The four of them looked at Tang Cheng, but Tang Cheng spread his hands and said that he had nothing to do. But no matter what, we have already arrived. After all the effort, we can’t leave here empty-handed! Tang Cheng simply didn't care about that much, and just asked the four people to move the gold up from the basement first. As for the rest, they would think of a solution after they got there.
