While the people below were fighting for life and death, Sir Zhang started wandering around on the deck.
call--
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, holding a steel pipe in his hand.
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 he 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 something bad.
Then 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.
Simon's plan was originally 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.
In the end, who would have thought that Sir Zhang only used himself as an insurance policy, but now this insurance policy has actually played more roles.
So Simon's inevitable blow failed.
puff--
"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.
Dang clang——
The steel pipe he was holding fell directly to the ground.
"Uh uh uh——"
Simon opened his mouth and raised his hands to block the wound on his chin, but even though he blocked the wound on his chin, he still couldn't stop the loss of strength from his body.
"I don't want to die——"
Simon obviously didn't expect that he had done such a big thing and was the first person to rob the Federal Reserve of so much gold, that he would die here so hastily.
Simon reluctantly 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 man.
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, in addition to America's own hegemony, is that the Federal Reserve reserves it.
The largest amount of gold in the world, so its 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 security.
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.
Therefore, whether it is the Federal Reserve or other forces, Simon who did this must die.
Simon may not have thought of this, but he did it anyway. The bigger reason is obviously that he has his own reliance on this matter. For example, he knows the dirty information of some people within the Federal Reserve, or feels that he can protect himself.
.
But obviously he still thinks too highly of himself.
"Tsk tsk tsk, I'm quite prepared, but it's a pity 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 approach it, but 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.
"It's done! Get ready 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 is itself, and secondly, the gold case itself is abnormal and involves corruption issues 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 even 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 last time at Braga's home base was most likely coming from within the Federal Reserve."
Warren: "No wonder, please be safe. How is Simon doing now?"
Warren was not surprised by Zhang Pin's statement. Instead, he felt a sudden realization.
He himself is a member of the American system, so he naturally knows better how courageous the internal personnel are.
In fact, it is not just people from the Federal Reserve who are doing things like this, and 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 remaining other items will be converted into cash and handed over.
However, the specific pricing of products is not based on the market price, but is confirmed by the pricing personnel within the Bureau of Investigation.
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, since the operation is carried out according to the highest bidder, it is natural for the price to be 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 you see it, the location where the auction is held is only by invitation, and ordinary people cannot enter at all.
Even if someone can get in, it is difficult to get a chance to raise a placard.
Therefore, 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 leads 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 price of this batch of goods is reduced to a breaking point, and then it will be 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 the situation normally. You don't need to worry about other things. But you still have to be careful to be careful of someone having inappropriate thoughts."
Warren breathed a sigh of relief when he heard 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 they will do.
Now Simon, who acted as a white glove for some people, is dead. Although the gold recovered is not enough, everyone is well aware of this.
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 can master enough wealth or power, and then do a lot of bad things that leave people speechless.
Zhang Pin: "Well, I understand. Please 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 is two bad news. Hey, who is that?"
Just after Zhang Pin made the call, Partridge, who had entered the cabin, came out and reported the following situation to Zhang Pin.
"What news?"
Zhang Pin knew what Partridge Cai 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 people, he has run away."
"The second bad news is that the gold they robbed didn't even have a ton, or there wasn't even a ton on this ship. The foreign devil said it was only two hundred kilograms at most."
Partridge talked about this matter with a bit of excitement on his face. Simon was the main culprit in this case. If the other party ran away, they would continue to pursue him.
Partridge had no objection to continuing the pursuit, because if he stayed in London for one more day, he could 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's here."
After listening to Partridge Cai's words, Zhang Pin pointed at Simon who was lying in a pool of blood.
Partridge'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?"
Naturally, Zhang Pin could not fail to see Partridge Cai’s careful thoughts.
"Where, where, I hope the case is over, hehehe, hehehe."
Although Partridge Cai is a little regretful that he can no longer receive the subsidy, 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 experienced Zhang Pin's generosity before, so he couldn't help but laugh when he thought that he might get a large amount of income.
call--
While Partridge was thinking about his income, Zhang Pin then picked up a gold brick from the speedboat and threw it over.
"This counts as a souvenir for you, keep it."
Anyway, the total amount of gold does not match up, and since Sir Zhang worked so hard on the case this time, it is natural for him to keep a few pieces of gold as souvenirs.
The piece of gold he threw to Partridge was a one-kilogram gold brick. With 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.
Converted into Hong Kong dollars, it's over 300,000.
Partridge's eyes suddenly lit up, and he knew that he would definitely make money by following Zhang Pin. No, the souvenir Zhang Pin gave him casually was almost half the turnover of Wufuxing Cleaning Company in half a year.
"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 him 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 was a smart man. When he found out that there was not enough gold and Simon ran away again, he originally thought that the ship was Simon's trick to lure them away.
But when Partridge came down and said that Simon had been shot and killed by Zhang Pin, he belatedly realized that there must be something he didn't know about this gold case.
So when 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 felt a little pity for Ethan's knowledge. If the other party wanted to stand up and compete for the leadership of the gold case, he would actually let him 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.
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 is so famous, the voice of this case has been 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."
When Ethan heard Zhang Pin's words, he naturally understood that the other party was giving him credit.
