The bustling city fell into a dead silence, and the lively streets and alleys were sparsely populated. Citizens hid at home and paid attention to the non-stop news reports on radio and television all night long, and peeked out through the cracks in doors and windows to pay attention to the tense streets.
Under the sun, the city was dotted with military police dispatched by the British. After a difficult night, they had the courage to go out on duty again until they were outnumbered.
Trucks and armored vehicles kept transporting soldiers to the streets. A large number of heavy construction machinery were mobilized to serve as roadblocks, hoping to withstand the impact of tanks.
The city entered a state of martial law, and policemen searched houses from house to house. The poor stayed in the coffin room and listened to the radio, while the rich and powerful used telephones and radios to contact the world.
No matter whether you have money or not, this night is not a good one.
Near the Hung Hom Tunnel is the busiest traffic line in Hong Kong. There is a constant flow of traffic here every day, but it has stopped at this moment.
On the surrounding high-rise buildings, thousands of pairs of eyes stared at the charred ground covered with more than a dozen huge craters at the entrance and exit of the tunnel, with mixed emotions.
It wasn't until dawn that the rescue team appeared cautiously. Faced with the tragedy, some people cried and cried because the outside of the tunnel was like the entrance to hell, with corpses and damaged vehicles everywhere.
This place was hit by heavy shelling last night, like a catastrophic disaster. Since World War II, the British have not been bombarded by heavy artillery. Hundreds of British officers and Gurkha soldiers were unprepared. Hundreds of them were killed on the spot, and more than half of them were lightly or seriously injured.
.
Even the survivors who were lucky enough to survive suffered a nervous breakdown afterwards. They cried like newborn children and became panicked when talking about the shelling. In the future, setting off firecrackers during the New Year would make them hide under the bed.
There used to be some green belts around the tunnel, but now they are gone. Broken corpses can be seen everywhere. The city's cleaners drove up, and the collectors had to cover their mouths and noses, and shoveled the ground with the flesh and soil in fear.
Scattered vehicle parts flew as far as thousands of meters away, and the surrounding buildings were covered with craters from shrapnel. Some buildings were intact on one side, but the other was in pieces as if they had been eaten by dogs.
A cordon was set up at the scene. Some people wanted to take pictures but were stopped by the sirs who blocked the scene, and the photos they had already taken were forcibly confiscated.
The media only said that robbers drove tanks and ransacked the HSBC vault last night.
Don't mention anything else.
The host even deliberately downplayed the robbery, which shocked the world, and instead broadcast other trivial social news and celebrity gossip.
The direction of Hong Kong Island was also blocked, and curtains were drawn up to cover many buildings that were hit by shelling. Construction teams were called in to carry out repairs that day, trying to erase all traces.
The Hong Kong Stock Exchange and the Futures Exchange announced a technical shutdown for three days, and all transactions were temporarily suspended until the market stabilized.
Dignitaries and officials have also jumped out to express in the media that hk has the ability to maintain market prosperity and will not affect future expectations because of small fluctuations in public security.
Under all the whitewashing, only the pavement crushed by caterpillar tracks could not be covered up, and the potholes were full of tooth marks. Therefore, we could only set up temporary repair road signs to prohibit traffic at first.
As for the direction of Kowloon Bay where the incident occurred, it was not until the afternoon of the next day that church members entered under white flags. They tried to discuss a 'solution' with the robbers.
However, the Kowloon Bay area was quiet. No robbers were found, and no tanks were seen. Except for signs of crossfire in a few places, the roads were very safe.
Only after they were sure that the robbers had disappeared did the British officials dare to show up. With deep sorrow and anger, they visited the stadium that was hit by heavy machine guns, the armored vehicles that were blown up by grenades, and the Gur corpses lying on the streets.
Ka soldiers.
Over the past four hundred years, the British Empire has set sail, explored and explored the world, and created the pinnacle of human civilization. What scene has it not seen?
Don't tell me, this is my first time seeing a tank rob a bank.
The people from HSBC came and burst into tears when they entered the vault - there was a strong sour smell in the vault, which was left by the black pudding monster. All the cash that could not be taken away was corroded and dissolved, leaving behind a large pile of
A pile of sticky dregs of banknotes.
Just a bunch of rubbish, it used to be worth billions of dollars.
These are large deposits of various large companies and institutions with HSBC, and now they are all gone - this is not a big hole that can be filled by just taking out the accounts.
No central bank that issues currency will acknowledge this account, let alone cover it for HSBC.
This is not the worst.
Except for the monitoring system, all facilities in the vault are still working normally. The elevator that goes underground shows no signs of damage.
Although all five underground employees were dead, there were not many signs of violence at the scene, and even the door of the underground vault where the gold was stored was completely normal.
If the robbers had used explosives, everyone at HSBC would understand. But it is abnormal for them to steal three-digit tonnage of gold and three-digit U.S. dollars in units of "hundred million" without using anything.
Eliminating all possibilities, there is only one answer.
There's a mole!
The robbers entered the underground so easily, opened the multiple-insured vaults, and removed huge amounts of gold and cash. There must be someone inside.
This is not an ordinary mole, not one or two moles, or an ordinary class mole.
No wonder robbers can drive out tanks and rob banks without fear of facing the garrison. With enough powerful resources, what kind of weapons and equipment can't be obtained?
There is definitely a lot of shady behind this shocking crime.
Just like the shooting of President Kennedy in the United States. Before the incident, who would have thought that the president of a country who should be closely protected would be killed by a mental patient with a small rifle?
The mentally ill patient died quickly without leaving any clues. Is this something ordinary people can do? What kind of secret is hidden behind this?
How similar is the current big case!
A tank also ran out without warning, and the tank ran rampant all night. The tank disappeared the next day, as if nothing had happened.
The people involved in the preliminary investigation were shadowed and heavy. The scene was chaotic, and there should have been many clues left. But in fact, all parties involved were immediately in trouble - there was no way to investigate at all.
Theoretically, the robbers should have hundreds of people cooperating to complete such a complex crime. It is normal for several people to be killed and injured in the firefight last night. But in fact, the robbers disappeared completely, leaving nothing behind.
The investigators even discovered a detail - the working capacity of the elevator in the vault is limited. To move three-digit gold and three-digit cash, one night is definitely not enough.
The lift can't be moved even if it works 24 hours a day.
Therefore, we can boldly speculate that the property in the vault was removed before the robbery. Not much of the entire process of the robbery has been shown to the world, or even just the tip of the iceberg when it was made public.
Wow, my mind has been opened up now.
Just like a fire in a granary, how many holes in the accounts can be erased by an earth-shattering treasury robbery?
Don't say it's impossible, this kind of thing is too common. It's just that the hole this time is particularly big.
Everyone is counting down the various big shots in HK, especially HSBC's own senior management, and even the Governor is under suspicion - the only explanation that can be explained is that these big bosses are doing their own tricks.
Wow...this is destined to be the unsolved case of the century!
