Chen Zifeng roared: "Don't move! Lie down! Stay still! We won't hurt you! But damn, don't cause trouble for yourselves! Anyone who moves will be beaten to death!"
Seeing that the hall had stabilized, he waved to Li Sanyi and took the two brothers upstairs.
When making plans, Chief Gong made it very clear that they must be checked carefully and no one should be missed!
He went upstairs in person to check if anyone had slipped through the net! This was the first step in the whole plan!
His other purpose is to find a suitable place to hold these hostages! According to the plan, he must separate bank employees and customers! This is crucial!
This is a three-story building with countless large and small rooms. Rooms with windows are not suitable. Some guy may gesture to the outside, send a signal or something!
After checking each floor, he found that it was best to keep the hostages in the basement!
The first one is that there are no windows in the basement! The second one is that the rooms in the basement have iron doors, so lock them and everything will be safe!
28-17
Chen Zifeng finally checked the entire building and confirmed that nothing was missing!
According to the second step of the plan, he walked to the middle of the hall and shouted: "Who is the bank manager, come out!"
For a moment, the hall was deathly quiet! No one dared to move!
Chen Zifeng pulled out the dagger from his waist and said viciously: "You're not going to come out, are you? Are you pretending to be dead for me? Your staff all know you, and when I ask, I'll cut off one of your hands!"
Finally, a fat guy raised his hand tremblingly and muttered: "Sir, don't kill me, don't kill me!"
Chen Zifeng grabbed him and said, "You bastard! Hand over your keys! I want the keys to all the doors! Come on, take them out!"
The fat man pointed upward, "Sir, they are all...all in my office."
Chen Zifeng waved to Li Sanyi, "Follow him to get the key!"
Li San grabbed the fat manager by the collar and took him upstairs.
Chen Zifeng stared at the people lying on the ground and said loudly: "You all, listen up! I came here today just because I want some money! I don't want human life! But you don't want to mess with me! I will kill people when I get angry! Listen!
Are you sure?"
No one dared to say anything, they just rolled their fearful eyes and looked at him cautiously.
He continued: "Listen now, bank employees, all go to the right! Customers who come to handle remittance business, all go to the left! Get moving now! Hurry!"
Everyone got up tremblingly, some to the right, some to the left. They all sat down against the wall.
At this time, Li San grabbed the fat manager and came down. He was holding a bunch of rattling keys in his hand!
Chen Zifeng waved to them, "Let's go to the basement!"
28-18
Now is the third step!
Li San grabbed the fat manager and walked down the long stairs into the basement.
There is a corridor in the basement that is not too long, with small rooms on both sides, and the iron doors are locked!
There is a big iron door at the end of the corridor. Everyone can tell that this big iron door is the safe!
Chen Zifeng waved to the big iron gate, "Sir, open this door!"
Li San handed a bunch of keys to the fat manager. The fat manager didn't accept it, but took out two copper keys from his shirt pocket. The keys were big, made of copper, and even shone with gold!
Chen Zifeng stared, "You bastard! Are you playing tricks on me? I asked you to get the key, why didn't you take out this key! Ah! Why!"
The fat manager was frightened and said tremblingly: "Sir, sir, I'm sorry, I...I forgot, it's...it's true!"
Chen Zifeng grabbed his collar and shouted: "You bastard! I'm warning you! If you dare to play tricks again, I will kill you! Open the door! Hurry up!"
The fat manager finally opened the iron door with the key in his hand.
As soon as the iron door is opened and the light is turned on, you can see that this is a vault! There are stacks of banknotes on the shelves next to the wall! There are reform notes, military notes, and even French currency! They are all really different!
There is a large iron cabinet at the end, also locked!
Chen Zifeng pointed, "Open it!"
The fat manager used another key to open the iron cabinet.
As soon as the cabinet door was opened, people were even more surprised. There were several iron trays in the iron cabinet, and gold bars were neatly placed in the trays, separated according to size! There were five layers of trays on top and bottom!
At this time, the fat manager spoke, "Sir, sir, the money and gold bars are all here. Just take the money and gold bars and leave! Enough...enough for you to use for a lifetime! Sir, I...
…I promise not to tell!”
Chen Zifeng glared at him fiercely, "You bastard! Is it your concern whether I get paid or not and how much I get paid? Bastard, just take care of yourself!"
He pointed toward the corridor and said, "Open all these doors! I want to take a look!"
The fat manager did not dare to say any more. He took the key from Li San and opened the iron doors one by one.
When Chen Zifeng and others looked inside, they understood that this was where important bank files or customer information were stored! Inside were tall iron cabinets, arranged neatly. To his satisfaction, the space inside was large enough!
He turned back and said: "Now, bring down all the bank clerks!"
Two minutes later, more than 40 bank employees were escorted down by Li San and others.
Chen Zifeng pointed to the first room and said: "Men, come in here! Hurry up!"
The male employees all entered the first warehouse obediently.
Chen Zifeng said: "Just stay with me, and no one should cause trouble for me! I can only let you out after my business is done!" He waved his hand and said, "Lock the door!"
The iron door slammed shut, and Li San locked the door with a clang.
Chen Zifeng pointed to the second room, "Everyone else, go in!"
Naturally, the remaining female staff had nothing to say and went in obediently. Li San locked the door again.
Chen Zifeng added: "Bring all those customers down!"
A few minutes later, more than 20 customers were brought out.
Chen Zifeng opened the third door and couldn't help but mutter, "Damn it, why is this room so small!"
He turned back and pointed at Leng Yue, Qiao Yanfang, Han Dan and Jiang Yufeng, and said, "You go in here! Stay there!"
Leng Yue and the others didn't say anything and entered the small room honestly.
At this time, Chen Zifeng glared at Yan Boling and said harshly: "What do you do! Honestly!"
Yan Boling whispered: "Sir, I am a teacher, teaching primary school students."
Chen Zifeng said: "You come in here too! You are a teacher, so keep an eye on these people! If they are dishonest, tell me! I won't treat you badly! Go in!"
Yan Boling whispered: "Yes, yes." He also entered the small room.
The iron door slammed shut, and Li San locked the door with a clang.
After that, according to Chen Zifeng's order, the male customer entered the fourth room, and the female customer entered the fifth room. The iron door slammed shut, the key rattled, and the door was locked.
28-19
Now, only Mrs. Matsuura and her daughter are left in the lobby of Zhengjin Bank.
Two brothers stood beside them, guarding them.
They had been looking at the bank robbers with suspicion, and also watched the employees and customers being escorted to the basement. They still couldn't understand why they were left alone in the lobby.
Chen Zifeng entered the hall, staring at them with a crooked mouth and a vicious smile.
They were his most important hostages! It was inconvenient to lock them in the basement! He looked around and didn't know where to lock them.
Mrs. Matsuura asked in blunt Chinese: "Your, Mr. Robbery, what do you want to do! To us!"
Chen Zifeng laughed happily and said: "Madam, please don't be surprised. You two are my most important guests. I must place you in the right place!"
But Miss Matsuura said in fluent Chinese: "What kind of guests! We are your hostages! Use us as a shield! What I said is right!"
Chen Zifeng smiled and said: "Miss, I really don't want that to happen. However, everything is uncertain! I don't want to hurt you two. But, I also don't want you to cause trouble for me! Once our affairs are over
, I’ll let you go!”
Mrs. Matsuura said: "What are you doing! Rob the bank, why don't you just leave quickly after taking the money! What else are you doing! Tell me the truth!"
Chen Zifeng said with a smile: "Of course we have our own tasks. When our tasks are completed, we promise to let you go!"
At this time, the shrewd Miss Matsuura said again: "You should be from Chongqing! You are from the military command, right?"
Chen Zifeng didn't want to answer this type of question anymore, so he said to Li San: "Find a suitable room for Madam, just on the first floor. If necessary, ask them to come out to a more convenient place!"
The last place Li San found was a storage room in the corner of the hall, which was used to store sanitary and cleaning supplies. He checked the items inside and found nothing inappropriate, and then placed two chairs in it.
.
He returned to the Matsuura mother and daughter and said with a smile: "You two, please. The conditions are not good, so please be patient."
After the Matsuura mother and daughter were imprisoned in the storage room, they smashed the door and shouted again, and finally settled down after being yelled at by Li San.
28-20
Next, the fifth step that Chen Zifeng and others will take is a bit ridiculous.
They were looking for buckets and basins everywhere upstairs and downstairs. There was a bucket in the bathroom and a basin in the washroom.
These basins and buckets were brought into the room where the hostages were held. The person who brought them in said: "All the urine and feces are here! Be careful not to spread them everywhere! It will be better when the toilet is delivered!"
Li San also sent a bucket into Lengyue's room, shouted at them, and at the same time motioned for them to come out.
