It is precisely because of the Swiss bank's excellent secrecy that Switzerland was once regarded as the world's "black gold paradise." However, the Swiss authorities also had to listen to the calls of the international community, and its bank secrecy system is no longer monolithic. It involves the pursuit of various governments.
Drug smuggling, arms trafficking, terrorism, and corruption are the most troublesome. Banks have no secrets.
But only after the plaintiff provides valid evidence of the existence of the account, the court can mobilize relevant bank data. In short, only the law has the right to decide whether it is necessary to release depositor information. In the vast majority of cases, Swiss banks are still private
Wealth provides the most effective protection, so one-third of the world's private wealth is pooled in Swiss private banks.
Li Jiuding is naturally not a criminal wanted by the government. He chose such a Swiss bank to open an account, and I am afraid it is not just as simple as depositing some money.
Knowing this, Lin Feng and Ye Rou became more confident that they would gain something from this trip.
Not long after, another staff member from Long Odahen Bank arrived. Just like the previous staff member, he was also a very gentleman. However, this one could well deserve to be called an old gentleman, because he was indeed not old enough.
Smaller.
"Hello, I'm Bourne." The old gentleman came to stand in front of Lin Feng, stretched out his hand, and said: "I am the staff member responsible for the account you hold. What is your name, sir?"
"I'm Lin Feng." Lin Feng introduced himself after shaking hands with Bourne.
"Can I see the business card you have?" Bourne asked politely.
Lin Feng nodded, took out his business card and handed it to Bourne.
After checking the business card again, Bourne showed a smile, but did not return the business card to Lin Feng. Instead, he collected it himself. After letting Lin Feng sit down, Bourne said: "Can you come here with this business card?"
, you must listen to my nagging first. This is what the customers who opened accounts before have agreed with me, and then you can handle the relevant business."
"You're too polite, please tell me if you have anything to say." Lin Feng nodded and said.
Bourne smiled and nodded, and then said: "The person who opened an account in our bank is Mr. Li Jiuding. He did not deposit cash or anything like that in our bank. He opened an account in our bank to rent a safe in our bank.
After opening the account, Mr. Li made an agreement with me that whoever comes with this business card will be regarded as the legal owner of the safe he rented.
And when someone comes with this business card, it also means that the rental of this safe is over, which means you need to take away the contents of the safe and then cancel the account, do you understand?"
"Understood!" Lin Feng nodded, and then asked: "The business card...?"
Bourne replied: "I'm sorry, Mr. Lin, this business card is the token I agreed with Mr. Li, and I specially found someone to make it. You come here with this business card, and after you take it away, I must also take it back."
business card."
"Okay." Lin Feng nodded.
"Please follow me." Bourne stood up and made a gesture of invitation. Lin Feng and the other two followed Bourne into the bank.
Bourne took Lin Feng and the others to the bank's vault. After the security personnel opened the vault, Bourne took Lin Feng and the others to a row of safes and stood in front of them.
"Here you the key." Bourne took out the key to the safe and handed it to Lin Feng.
Lin Feng was a little surprised that such a high-end private bank actually used the oldest storage method, a lock! Instead of a high-tech electronic lock.
Even without these high-tech electronic locks, shouldn't a bank's vault be full of mechanisms? Tight iron gates all around, tall men wearing sunglasses guarding them, fingerprint verifiers or iris to open the vault door, these are not
Are they all the most basic facilities of a bank vault?
Indeed, there is no denying that many bank vaults have such security measures.
But in Switzerland, this is not the case at all.
In fact, if you search all over Switzerland, you will not find such high-tech facilities! The Swiss Bank believes that depositors prefer that their safe deposit box procedures are simple and transparent. Complex computer procedures will frighten customers, who do not know where hackers are.
In case of intrusion, locks and keys are more reassuring!
This is why Lin Feng can't see these high-tech equipment!
After receiving the key to the safe handed over by Bourne, Lin Feng also realized Ouyang Ya's words again. Since Li Jiuding left clues, he would not design a very complicated puzzle and let himself find the clues.
The fact that Bourne holds the key to the safe is a good proof. If Li Jiuding wants to design a complex puzzle, he can take the key to the safe and hide it for Lin Feng to find.
However, Li Jiuding did not do this. He not only entrusted the key to the safe to the bank staff, but also simply concentrated all the clues on that business card. It can be said that that business card is the key to opening the safe.
The key to the bank safe.
Bourne smiled and gestured to Lin Feng to open the safe.
Lin Feng put in the key and easily opened the small safe, which was similar to an ordinary household drawer.
The moment the safe was opened, Lin Feng and Ye Rou almost held their breath and looked inside the safe with wide eyes.
A warm jade pendant was lying quietly in the safe. Other than that, there was nothing else in the safe.
Lin Feng reached out and took out the jade pendant. The fan-shaped jade pendant was cold to the touch and was very finely made. There was a pattern engraved on the front of the jade pendant, which was exactly the tattoo pattern on Ye Rou's chest! On the back of the jade pendant, there were several irregular patterns.
The small hole almost penetrates the entire jade pendant itself. Looking at the light source, you can easily see the small hole on the back from the front.
"Haha, that name does have a meaning." Lin Feng smiled, handed the jade pendant to Ye Rou, and said, "And the meaning is quite simple, just like what I said."
Ye Rou nodded slightly and said nothing. She lowered her head and looked at the jade pendant in her hand.
That name naturally refers to the name Li Hanyu.
Lin Feng and Ye Rou understood, but Ding Shengnan was confused. Moreover, after seeing such a jade pendant in the safe, Ding Shengnan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Perhaps what Ding Shengnan was most afraid of seeing was that Lin Feng came to the bank to pick up something shady. This jade pendant was obviously not something shady.
"Put it away!" Lin Feng said to Ye Rou: "This jade pendant belongs to your father. You are his only daughter. This jade pendant should belong to you."
Ye Rou slowly shook her head and said, "We'll talk about it when we get back." After saying this, Ye Rou gave the jade pendant to Lin Feng.
Seeing Lin Feng's puzzled look, Ye Rou said softly: "I think she is right. Since my father gave you his business card, it means that the things he stored in this safe are for you, and
Not for anyone."
She was talking about Li Hanyu again, because only Li Hanyu said that.
"Okay then." Lin Feng thought for a while, agreed, and put away the jade pendant.
Although in Lin Feng's opinion, this jade pendant should belong to the Li family, there is nothing wrong with Li Hanyu or Ye Rou.
After all, Li Jiuding had given this business card to himself a long time ago, and this business card was the reason for opening the safe. It is really difficult to explain what Li Jiuding meant by doing this!
Could it be said that when Li Jiuding was alive, he really planned to give this jade pendant to himself?
Although it is very possible based on the current situation, it is really hard for Lin Feng to believe that he and Li Jiuding are strangers to each other. Why would he give him this jade pendant?
From the fact that Li Jiuding cares so much about the name Li Hanyu, it can be clearly seen that this jade pendant should be an heirloom of the Li family. How could he keep this heirloom to himself? He is not a member of the Li family, right?
"Now, would you like Mr. Lin to go through the relevant procedures with me?" Bourne asked inquiringly when he saw Lin Feng taking out the jade pendant from the safe.
"Okay, thank you." Lin Feng agreed and thanked Bourne by the way.
This kind of humanized service from a Swiss private bank really leaves people speechless. Lin Feng and the others don’t have to do anything at all. They just wait in the lounge. Bourne quickly prepared all the documents used for the procedures. Lin Feng just needs to put them on it.
Just sign.
Unlike domestic banks, you have to press a number first and then wait in line to do some business! The key is that if there are too many customers, it is understandable to queue up and wait. There are so many service windows, but one or two have to be opened.
Customers lined up according to their numbers. I really don’t know whether banks in China are out of their minds or have been kicked by donkeys!
After the relevant procedures were completed, Bourne shook hands with Lin Feng and said goodbye: "I wish you a pleasant stay. If you need my services, please call me."
"Okay." Lin Feng smiled and took Bourne's business card.
Immediately, Lin Feng and the other two walked towards the outside of the bank.
"This jade pendant should not be as simple as this one." Walking in the lobby of the bank, Ye Rou lowered her voice and said.
Lin Feng also lowered his voice and said: "I also noticed it, but since we were in a bank just now, it's better to say less! This fan-shaped jade pendant has a groove on one side and a protruding edge on the other.
The edge on one side is completely consistent with the groove, so it should be able to be combined."
"That is to say, there are other jade pendants like this." Ye Rou said in a low voice.
"What's going on?" Ding Shengnan couldn't help but be curious and asked, "I think what you said is so mysterious!"
"There is nothing mysterious." Lin Feng said lightly: "Everyone is curious, but when you should be curious, you can't be curious! Haven't you heard the saying, curiosity killed the cat?"
"Hey, what do you mean?" Ding Shengnan said angrily, and he and Lin Feng left the bank together.
"Huh?" Lin Feng looked around and said, "Where is our guide?"
