The investigation into the HSBC vault robbery is in "steady progress". HK police officers have mobilized many professionals to collect traces that may have been left by the robbers.
For example, fingerprints, shoe prints, blood stains, and a large number of on-site witness records. In short, the sirs are very busy and very dedicated to their duties, so that no one can make a mistake.
As for the media, they cannot avoid reporting on this huge treasury robbery that will surely go down in history.
However, the gossipy nature of HK news can easily make the topic go astray. Without much on-site reporting, various talk shows began to discuss what kind of tank it was and how powerful it was.
Parallel import military commentators continued to argue about the model of the tank. After arguing for a long time, they finally confirmed that it was an improved version of the Soviet T-72, allowing 59 to get rid of its grievances.
Since the vault was sealed off, no news was revealed. TV stations could only rent helicopters to take aerial shots outside the vault. The bombarded vault door and the bullet marks left by heavy machine guns were enough to satisfy the citizens.
In addition, a huge graffiti more than ten meters high was left on the outer wall of the five-story building of the treasury, which also aroused heated discussion in the media.
The graffiti is a rising mushroom cloud, which is obviously the scene of a nuclear bomb explosion. The seven goblins had nothing to do and used their excellent artistic talents to leave this beautiful painting.
But what people focus on is not the lifelike painting, but a line of words casually daubed with paint next to the mushroom cloud - "Before you consider how to deal with me, please evaluate your own tolerance."
This is Zhou Qingfeng's warning to his enemies, implicitly saying that he is a possessor of nuclear weapons. If anyone comes to see him again and annoys him, he will feed his opponents nuclear bombs.
However, the media does not know how much property was robbed from the vault. Various commentators estimated that at most several billion dollars were robbed in one night. This is already a very imaginative figure.
Don't worry, although the robbers are extremely fierce, HSBC is strong and will not suffer losses of billions. Moreover, the security of the vault is insured, and the insurance company will pay compensation.
There must be nothing wrong with HSBC. After the investigation of the case is completed, the bank will announce the detailed losses to ensure the safety of depositors' funds.
Financial experts from all walks of life came on stage one after another, saying that they were optimistic about HSBC's later development. Before the police announced the details, don't make random guesses. Maybe it would only lose more than a billion US dollars?
Do you know how hard you guys worked last night?
In order to protect the property of Hongkong citizens, the Assirs are working very hard and have been fighting fiercely with the robbers. The rumble that everyone heard last night represents the intensity of the fighting.
Assirs risk their lives!
In addition, do you know how much 100 million US dollars is? It weighs one ton. You can’t even move it.
So what if the robbers broke into the vault? Under the powerful sniper attack and siege of the Flying Tigers, how much money could they take away?
So, don't be afraid.
Surely not much money was taken away this time? Some people said that several billions were taken away, which is an exaggeration. At most it was several hundred million!
On the second day of the robbery, HSBC's senior management and even the Governor came out to calm the market sentiment.
They all said that this case was indeed unexpected, but the insurance company would pay the compensation, and they would just strengthen security work in the future, and would not blame the security personnel too harshly.
In addition, rich and powerful people from all walks of life also urged the police to step up their efforts to solve the case and catch the culprit as soon as possible, which can also save some losses and maintain public security in HK.
Big bosses chatted and laughed on the surface, but they couldn't hide the panic inside. As a large financial institution with a century-old history, HSBC has intricate connections around the world and has countless business needs.
After avoiding the camera, everyone who knew some inside information, whether they were bank executives, corporate directors, or colonial officials, cursed loudly...
Is it that damn turtle who emptied the vault? The ones that couldn’t be moved were corroded with a lot of strong acid. No insurance company could afford to pay for the huge four-digit loss.
In this world of cross-holdings and complicated interests, if HSBC collapses, it will drag countless financial institutions, large and small, into hell.
Tianliang's accounts will explode, Tianliang's financial management will collapse, and Tianliang's enterprises will be destroyed. Maybe it will trigger a financial crisis that will affect the world.
If the news is leaked, it won't matter if ordinary citizens run on the government. Those official institutions and companies with strong backgrounds will be the real killers.
I don’t know how many people want to go to the rooftop!
In order to solve the case, the British had to mobilize more professionals from the mainland to investigate. MI5 and Six received orders, and even people from the CIA received requests for assistance.
Theoretically, everything has its origin. But the robbers appeared and disappeared too suddenly, especially the forty-ton tank that filled the whole scene but disappeared without a trace.
All kinds of weirdness allowed investigators to focus on only a few clues, such as the paint used for graffiti at the scene. A lot of paint was used in the graffiti that was more than ten meters high. The police initially wanted to find out who had purchased hundreds of barrels of paint recently.
But when the paint was tested, another chilling truth was revealed - under the mushroom cloud graffiti, that ugly line, the paint used was highly radioactive.
After careful inspection, it was determined that a certain amount of uranium-235 was added to it.
Most of the natural uranium in nature is harmless uranium-238. The detection of uranium-235 only means one thing: the criminals in this vault robbery have the ability to come into contact with high-concentration nuclear materials.
Combined with the graffiti of the mushroom cloud and the sentence under the graffiti, the two corroborate each other, and the real threat comes out - I am not easy to mess with, and if pressed, I will drop a nuclear bomb.
This was the cryptic message Zhou Qingfeng left to control the situation. But this cryptic message was buried too deep. The media in HK only regarded it as a arrogant graffiti left by a robber and didn't think much about it.
After a lot of hard work, I almost showed my charming eyes to the blind man. Only those who are truly knowledgeable can decipher the secrets.
The news of confirmed nuclear material was notified at a certain level, and the ordinary business community was not qualified to know about it. Only the British senior officials felt this real threat.
This is much more serious than losing billions of dollars in wealth.
Combined with the business consensus of preserving HSBC, this robbery was immediately dealt with coldly, using the same method as the assassination of John F. Kennedy - President Yingjiang was killed, is the matter serious?
That was the president of a superpower who was about to land on the moon. The news of his assassination was more explosive than the robbery of a bank.
But when a person dies, he or she is still dead.
If a bank is robbed, it will be robbed.
Make bold assumptions and verify carefully. All investigations are conducted in secret and no public announcement is made. No one wants a bigger and more uncontrollable crisis to explode before there is absolute certainty.
On the second day of the robbery, 'Zhou Qingfeng', who had stayed at the Causeway Bay Police Station for a night, was allowed to leave. No one made trouble for him, no one said anything, and there was no task force.
In fact, there are no clues linking Zhou Qingfeng to the robbery.
Uncle Zhou just walked out of the police station and then sent a lawyer's letter to HSBC - Why do you freeze my 10 million US dollars in funds? Return the money to me quickly.
