In the blink of an eye, two hours passed. Several waves of customers came and went in the intelligence hall. Bird spent a long time chatting with Chu Long. The strange things in the black market attracted Chu Long.
"noob".
"Cocktail? That's ready!" Just as everyone was waiting, an emotionless voice came from the window covered by black cloth.
"Bird, it's my turn. It's a pleasure chatting with you!"
When he heard the call for cocktails, Chu Long knew that he was being called. After sitting there for such a long time, Chu Long also understood that as long as a sign belonging to that person was called out from the window, the person being called would come out of the small door.
Enter.
"Sir, you are a very good listener." Bird smiled.
Chu Long smiled and nodded, then turned and walked towards the small door.
Opening the door, first a curtain blocked the view. Chu Long walked in and closed the door. When he lifted the curtain, he saw a small hall, which he could barely call the hall. The right side of the hall was separated by a wooden partition.
, and a door is opened on the inside for easy access. The left side is arranged according to the general living room pattern. In addition to the sofa surrounding the wall, a wooden coffee table is placed between the surrounding sofas. Obviously this is the living room. Coffee table
The brewed tea has been placed on the table, and a young man wearing black-rimmed glasses is sitting on the sofa with a file bag beside him, sitting quietly waiting for the customers to arrive.
Except for that man, there was no one else in the room. Looking at the file bags placed next to him, it must be that this person is the internal staff member of the Shadow who is responsible for receiving customers.
Chu Long walked forward and sat on the sofa minding his own business. He looked at the young man in front of him without saying a word, waiting for him to speak.
"Sir, this is the information you want, the total value is 1,000 pounds." The young man said without any unnecessary nonsense, he directly told the price of the information.
"Can I take a look first?"
"Okay, sir." The man put the file bag beside him in front of Chu Long and said.
The man with glasses was not worried that Chu Long would not pay after reading the information, and Shadow was never afraid of anyone defaulting on their debt. It is not that such a thing as "eating the King's meal" has never happened, but after the initial baptism of blood, people have learned to be smarter.
If you don't have enough energy to make rules, you will never be the one to shake the rules.
Chu Long took out the paper recording the information from the file bag, glanced at it briefly, and placed the paper recording the information on the coffee table.
Before Chu Long came to the black market, he had issued a check for 1,500 pounds from the bank, which was easy to carry around and facilitate transactions in the black market.
Chu Long handed the check he carried with him to the young man in front of him.
After looking carefully, the young man nodded towards Chu Long and said, "Sir, please wait a moment!"
"Okay!" Chu Long said.
The young man stood up and walked towards the door on the inside. After knocking lightly, the door opened from the inside, but Chu Long didn't see anyone else, and the door curtain blocked his view.
After the young man left, Chu Long began to read the relevant information about the gem necklace.
According to intelligence, after receiving the ruby necklace from Barclaine Bank, it was stored in a vault located underneath the bank.
The situation inside the vault is not shown in the intelligence. It seems that it has not been investigated. Of course, it may also be due to additional charges.
The information provided the specific time when the ruby necklace was put into storage, the person who registered it, and how many people escorted the ruby necklace. These events that happened that day were investigated in detail, including the home addresses and phone numbers of everyone who came into contact with the ruby necklace that day.
After checking it out, all I had to do was write down the color of their underwear that day.
Chu Long glanced at it briefly and roughly skipped this information. It was basically useless. He continued to read it. Anyway, the man with glasses hasn't come back yet!
Intelligence showed that in the afternoon of the next day, a bank employee secretly came to the underground vault during off-duty hours. It was not possible to investigate what happened during the period, but it only lasted 10 minutes. After leaving, he went straight home from get off work.
The staff member met a man in a plaid shirt at a street bar not far from the apartment on the evening of the third day. The specific content of the chat is unknown. According to investigations, the man was the domestic slave of an executive secretary of the House of Commons. The executive secretary was just now
Archibald Walker, who took office not long ago.
After Archibald, several people have sent their subordinates or domestic slaves to the bank to find out information about the ruby necklace, but so far no one has actually implemented the plan.
The London head office of Barclays Bank has super strong security measures. The vault is made of the world's most advanced metal eternium. This metal appears after meteorites from outer space fall to the ground. It is so strong that even if the entire bank explodes,
Even if it is smashed, there will be no damage to the vault. Ever Gold was built by Barclayan Bank at a large cost and is only provided to the capital head office vaults of big countries.
The vault is the last line of protection. Barclays Bank's London head office also hired several mercenaries to take turns guarding it secretly. The weapons and equipment are all the most advanced at present, and they were all purchased from abroad at high prices. Of course, there are also rumors that these weapons
The mercenaries were actually trained by Barclaine Bank at its own expense, but the bank never admitted it.
The mercenaries are covert guards. Overtly, Barclays Bank applied to the Metropolitan Police Department for on-site security. The London Head Office spent money to build a police station near Barclays Bank. This police station is better than other police stations in London.
They are all tall and impressive. Not only is the place large, the personnel are numerous, and the weapons are powerful, but police dogs are also specially trained. This is a unique police station in the entire city of London, and one of the few in the entire British Empire.
The entire London head office of Barclays Bank can be said to be an "iron wall", and the level of defense is simply disappointing. There have been many master thieves who have gone to the bank for treasures and to clear their names, but in the end, more than half of the thieves have gone to the bank for themselves.
The impulse paid the price. The thieves with excellent luck and skills added endless troubles to the latecomers and provided a wealth of experience for the upgrading of bank security work. This also discouraged more and more latecomers from doing so.
Dare to take a step beyond the boundaries.
Chu Long believed that someone must have secretly planned an action plan against the ruby necklace. From the information obtained from the intelligence, it can be seen that several forces have already begun investigations against the London head office. The reason why there is no action is just because everyone is waiting for someone.
Suitable opportunity.
Under normal circumstances, the underground vault can only be opened when valuable treasures are stored. However, every 48 hours, the general manager will lead the security personnel of the security department to conduct routine inspections, and mercenaries will secretly monitor the people entering and exiting.
, even everyone including the president must have their weight measured before and after entering and exiting the underground vault to check everyone's physical condition to prevent anyone from taking the treasures out of the underground vault.
land
The lower vault is not the only vault at Barclain Bank. Except for valuable treasures that need to be stored, other items are not allowed to be deposited. There are two other vaults in the bank, which store items and money respectively.
The opening and closing times of the London head office, the number of entrances, the security conditions at the entrances, weapons equipment, etc. are all clearly displayed on the application form.
In terms of intelligence, even the personnel scheduling arrangements for the past week, the names, home addresses, and dates of birth of the personnel were investigated.
When Chu Long carefully flipped through the papers recording the information, the man with glasses who had left not long ago had quietly returned. The other party did not disturb Chu Long, but Chu Long still knew from the sound of footsteps that the other party was back.
"Sir, here are your 500 pounds." The man with black-framed glasses sat back on the sofa, took out five brand-new hundred-yuan pounds from his body, and placed them on the coffee table in front of Chu Long.
"Sir, this is a sub-card for our Shadow. Every customer who spends more than 800 pounds at our Shadow for the first time will be given a sub-card. In the future, for all purchases at Shadow, the percentage will be waived within 5 times. 20 fee." The man with black-rimmed glasses put a gray card next to the hundred-dollar pound again with a smile.
After the man with black-framed glasses finished speaking, he seemed to have remembered something, and said to Chu Long in front of him: "Sir, in addition to the discount function, the Shadow Sub-Card also has a side benefit. You can use this card to enter the black market auction."
Chu Long learned from Bird that to participate in the black market auction, you need an invitation letter. Of course, if you don't have one, a deposit of 500 pounds will be exchanged for the auction ticket, and a fee of 50 pounds will be charged. If the customer spends more than 8,000 pounds at the auction , you can directly waive the ticket fee.
"Interesting! No wonder you Shadows are so famous and have such advanced thinking!" Chu Long said.
"Sir, I hope you will come again!" The man with glasses smiled and said goodbye.
"goodbye!"
Chu Long returned to the original middle hall, and Bird had disappeared. Obviously, this tour guide had ended the moment he walked into Shadow's internal reception room.
He was walking aimlessly on the streets of the black market, thinking in his mind about how he could cause chaos in Barclain Bank first and attract those who had evil intentions towards the ruby necklace, so that he could secretly take action.
Soon I had a rough plan in mind, but the cash I carried was obviously not enough, and there would definitely be expenses in the future.
Fortunately, before going to the black market, I went to the bank and picked up a gemstone bracelet. There was a rare blue diamond in the center, shaped like an eye, and its shining brightness attracted people's attention like moonlight.
Its origin cannot be traced anymore. It was called the Eye of the Moon by the people in the bank. This is also a relatively low-valued piece of jewelry in that batch. Even if it is a low-valued piece, the eyes in the bank can't be traced. The staff who had the faint light of money in it were extremely reluctant to take it out and give it to Chu Long.
The best way to deal with jewelry such as the Eye of the Moon is to auction it. It is relatively safe for banks to handle this kind of thing. However, this time it cannot be done through the bank. It can only be done through the black market auction house. The only thing Chu Long is not sure about now is the auction. Will the price be lower than that at the bank, but in order to get that charming ruby necklace, I have no choice but to hesitate.
