Siheyuan: Returning to 61 to collect waste

But I only declared 30 kilograms of gold, how come it suddenly became so much?"

Louis took a deep breath, his face serious, "That was a planned strategy. In order to keep the actual transport weight secret, we claimed that it was only 30 kilograms.

I knew exactly how much gold I was traveling with, 24 bars in total, 400 ounces each.

Maybe something unexpected happened during the transfer process."

White and Chinese detectives from Hong Kong Island arrived at the scene, and Ye Chuan saw Lloyd.

The white detective seemed serious and concerned, while the Chinese detective seemed a little bit interested in watching the fun.

Then, the bigwigs from both the black and white worlds received the notice and gathered in Tsim Sha Tsui. "Sheriff Edward, I want to know what's going on." Louis asked with a frown.

Edward looked a little embarrassed. The Chief Inspector was questioned like this. "I also hope to solve this mystery as soon as possible!" His response was obviously not very happy.

The Chinese detective in charge of security in the Tsim Sha Tsui area stepped forward and saluted, explaining: "Dear sir, when the door of the gold transport vehicle was opened, there was no sign of fighting or chaos.

After preliminary inspection, the car lock was intact and there was no evidence of robbery.

Maybe Mr. Lewis just neglected to lock his car."

"You said I forgot to lock the car? No, I locked it myself, and the car keys are still with me." Louis took out the keys and showed them to everyone.

The police officers and security guards who were blocking the vehicle were also confused and could only tell them that there was only a box of gold left in the car when the door was opened. "Don't follow me, or I'll make you look good." A hot-tempered detective questioned unceremoniously, and the dispute with the man who was suspected of being a suspect escalated. "Well, we have to solve the problem first." Edward stopped the argument in time and turned to Louis and said, "Sir, please come back to the police station with us.

You need to provide detailed information, including how much gold was lost and how it was lost.”

"A total of 24 400-ounce gold bars were lost." Louis stated the numbers clearly, as if he was speaking fluently.

Edward's face became more serious when he heard this. "Are you sure? The last report showed only 30 kilograms!" He was obviously confused and unbelievable.

"Didn't you just tell me that there were only 30 kilograms of gold bars in the car?" Inspector Edward looked impatient, tapping the table with his thumb and staring at the other party. "But why do you insist that there are hundreds of kilograms of gold in the car?" The police officer next to him also looked a little annoyed. Could this guy be playing rogue and want to ? But if it was true, it had nothing to do with their police station.

By the way, Louis and others from the security team were also detained in the police station.

However, he concluded that the car was supposed to be carrying only forty-five pounds and eight ounces of gold.

Hearing this, Louis was unable to understand Edward's meaning for a moment, and asked in confusion: "What are you talking about?" Then, Edward raised a more pointed question:

"Louis, are you trying to take it all for yourself?"

Louis was stunned at this moment, and asked in disbelief: "You said... what are you talking about?" Then came the content of No. 30: "You said I was embezzling the remaining gold? There were only kilograms of gold bars in transit, but you said it was pounds and ounces.

In this way, wouldn't the excess gold fall into private hands? "

After hearing this, Louis jumped up like an angry little animal, as if his reputation was greatly violated. "Inspector Edward, you must be responsible for what you just said! I have my own set of professional ethics. How can you damage my personality and professional image for a mere gold and silver?"

In response to the question, Edward sneered, "Just a mere sum of money? The stolen gold bars you mentioned total over 300 kilograms, which is an astonishing value, enough for you to enjoy a luxurious life for the rest of your life!" Then he retorted:

"Impossible! I just memorized some data to ensure safety. How could I embezzle gold bars? I tell you, it was just 30 kilograms of data!" Louis was so angry that he argued loudly. "Professional ethics? Can 300 kilograms of gold be worth the position it holds in your heart? Louis, wake up, are you kidding me?" Edward mocked coldly.

The other detectives in the room nodded frequently when they heard this. They held similar ideas to Edward: Obviously, Louis had a traitor who was enriching himself.

But Louis did not give in: "You can't judge my values ​​with your outlook on life, Inspector," he blurted out in desperation.

Edward's face suddenly darkened. "If it's not your selfish motive, you should explain it to me! I have already investigated clearly through technology and evidence that the truck transporting the gold bricks has not been disturbed in any way, and the safety lock has no signs of damage at all.

But how did the gold bars disappear? In my career as a law enforcement officer, I have never come across a theft that was so flawless.”

Louis knew that the matter would reach a deadlock: this might be a complicated insider theft case, and the mystery was too abnormal to make any reasoning follow.

So he said: "These issues should be tracked by your police. I only provide intelligence assistance. I am also curious about the whereabouts of the insurance buckle and the gold bricks."

however

After learning the news, the reporters who were about to leave the Industrial Safety Bureau suddenly noticed Inspector Edward walking down from upstairs.

When Edward appeared at the police station, he was immediately surrounded by many reporters. "Inspector Edward, I heard that 9600 ounces of gold were lost from the Bank of the United States. Is this true?" a reporter asked loudly. "There was no sign of violence at the scene. What do you think of this case?" another person asked closely. "It is said that the valuable materials of the Bank of the United States include 30 kilograms of gold, but 300 kilograms were stolen. Is there a problem here?" another reporter asked.

Edward, who had intended to avoid the interview, stopped after hearing the last question. He spoke eloquently, explaining his views and analysis to the reporters.

The first person to ask questions was reporter Jiang Ning, who was interning at an authoritative media organization in Hong Kong Island.

After the meeting, exhausted, Jiang Ning rushed to the newspaper office with his bag on his back.

When he arrived, his clothes were soaked with sweat.

The editor-in-chief asked in confusion: "Jiang Ning, is there something urgent? Why do you look so nervous?"

"Editor-in-chief, breaking news! Big news! The 300 kilograms of gold that the Bank of the United States was going to deliver to us was stolen. Despite hundreds of people guarding it, the gold mysteriously disappeared without leaving any clues!" He reported the details in one breath. "What!" The editor-in-chief jumped up in shock, his face full of disbelief. "Write a press release immediately, and I will inform the president immediately.

We will try to make this news public tomorrow morning, and put the newspaper on every newsstand as soon as possible."

Jiang Ning nodded firmly, his heart full of anticipation for becoming a regular employee and receiving generous rewards.

The next morning, the hot topic in Hong Kong was the Beautiful Country Bank gold case, and all major newspapers reported it in detail on their front pages.

Ye Zi got up early in the morning, walked to the newsstand on the corner to buy some newspapers, and packed some breakfast to return to the hostel.

My heart is filled with joy and the harvest is truly exciting.

Suddenly, there were 24 boxes full of gold and a brand new copper lock without a key in the system space.

Each box contains a 400-ounce bar of pure gold, which equals 12.5 kilograms per box.

A total of 9600 ounces of gold were harvested yesterday, which is a full 300 kilograms. The price of gold is relatively low nowadays.

Since the 40s, the United States has signed agreements with more than 35 countries, stipulating that the price of gold is US$ per ounce.

Even so, the bars were still quite valuable and were traded at an agreed fixed price until the early 20s.

Even if we don't wait until the 21st century, even in the 80s, the peak price of gold reached US$850 per ounce. 9600 ounces are worth at least US$ million. This treasure is an astronomical figure.

Singing an unknown tune, Ye Ziqing opened the door and woke up Wei Dong and Xiao Junnian who were sleeping soundly. "Brother Ye is so proud of himself that he won't let the brothers enjoy a little more sleep." Xiao Junnian yawned. "I really bought breakfast for you, but you act like I'm annoying?" Ye Ziqing complained.

The two could only get up, wash and dress, and then sit at the dining table to enjoy the breakfast bought by Ye Ziqing, while the latter enjoyed soy milk while browsing the newly bought newspaper.

Wei Dong was puzzled: "Why did you buy so many newspapers?"

"Something happened outside our hotel last night. It was said that a car carrying gold from the United States Bank had an accident and a ton of gold was lost," Ye Ziqing explained.

Wei Dong was also surprised and picked up a newspaper to read it carefully.

Any of a dozen newspapers published the same news, all prominently displayed: "9600 ounces of gold missing from the Bank of the United States! The work of thieves? Or an insider?"

"The thief reappears, 300 kilograms of gold mysteriously disappeared!"

"The quantity has increased from 30 kilograms to 300 kilograms. Is this a moral corruption or a change in human nature?"

"There are no obvious signs of crime at the scene. Manager Smith, a senior executive of the Bank of America, cannot justify himself!"

"A huge sum of money happened in Tsim Sha Tsui, 300 kilograms of gold disappeared without a trace!"

Wei Dong and Xiao Junnian also read these reports with great interest. "It's a pity if their reporters fabricated such facts. Without any clues, how could the gold disappear out of thin air?" Wei Dong said with disdain.

Ye Chuan just smiled, grabbed a bun and took a bite.

They would never have thought that the person who planned all this was sitting opposite them. "Where did the gold go? That's great, someone got rich." Xiao Junnian's face showed envy. "Do you still need to ask? The newspaper clearly said that the lock was not damaged, and it was obviously an insider who stole it.

The gold will definitely fall into the hands of Smith." Wei Dong answered while eating a bun.

Due to the shock caused by this incident, police officers were densely deployed throughout Hong Kong Island, especially in Tsim Sha Tsui. Huang Weiqiang informed everyone that today's itinerary was temporarily put on hold and hoped that everyone would stay in the hotel as much as possible.

He came to Ye Chuan and respectfully explained the reasons for the cancellation.
