211 How to enter the vault
Hearing the bankruptcy, Li Changheng couldn't help but curl his lips. Diamond Group would definitely not collapse in an instant, but it was true that life would be difficult in the future.
"First, gentlemen," everyone turned around and saw Catherine, the secretary of Old Aston, standing at the door and saying, "The lawyer named Claire is here."
Old Aston said with a frown, "Let him in."
The thin lawyer Claire walked in with his handbag.
He stood in the middle of the office with an envelope in his hand and said, "According to the client's prior instructions, if big news appears, send this letter."
Old Aston took the envelope and opened it open it up, and saw a string of numbers on it, which looked like the bank account number.
Then he read, "You only have one hour now to transfer that 100 million pounds into this account.
Otherwise, we would divide a hundred kilograms of diamonds into ten parts and pour them on the streets of various towns in London.”
"Damn bastard, get out."
Old Aston angrily drove lawyer Sinclair out of the office, and then tore up the letters in his hand.
"Even if I use this million pounds to buy diamonds from the damn polar bear, I will never give them to those robbers."
"You're crazy, Lord Aston."
Among the six board members present, someone immediately stood up and said, "Once we buy polar bear diamonds, the entire Western world will be suppressed for decades, and the demonized polar diamonds will be accepted by the sellers in a short time.
At that time, we will have to spend ten times more energy and wealth to suppress the price of polar diamonds again.
I will never agree with your decision.
Even if we were beaten back to what we were ten years ago because of this crisis, it would be better than being criticized and investigated by our colleagues in the entire Western world, as well as the government’s criticism and investigation.”
"Me too".
"Me too".
In a moment, five members of the board of directors stood up to oppose it, which immediately relieved Li Changheng's nervousness.
Faced with the opposition from five shareholders and the crisis investigated by England, the United States, France and other countries, Old Aston had to take a step back.
Let Oliver Aston stick the letter that had been broken into paper.
He turned to look at Li Changheng and asked, "Henry, do you think we should surrender to the thieves, or how much time does it take to find those damn diamonds?"
Of course, Li Changheng hopes that Diamond Group will transfer money, but this is definitely not something that can be said explicitly.
"It's not how much time I need, but whether we should believe the thief, whether we will really throw a hundred kilograms of diamonds on all the streets of London in an hour."
This was the point. Old Aston frowned and thought for a while, then looked at Li Changheng and said, "Then how credible do you think the thief's words are?"
"Isn't this obvious? The thief knew very well that these unsharpened diamonds could not be sold in large quantities, they could only sell them to us, but,,."
Li Changheng sighed and said, "Gentlemen, the thief's purpose at this time is very likely to be that 100 million pounds.
But once we pay the one hundred million that is equivalent to the ransom or the purchase fee.
No one can guarantee that the thief who gets the money will not continue to keep the two tons of diamonds even more greedy.
After all, human hearts are the hardest to figure out, and greed will never be filled."
This statement was immediately approved by most people, but what was surprising was.
Old Aston pulled out a diamond from his pocket, still on his desk.
Everyone turned their eyes and recognized the 16th diamond of Culinan that Li Changheng handed over to Oliver Aston yesterday.
Then Old Aston said, "This diamond tells us that the thief really got those two tons of diamonds, so we either pay or bet Henry and ourselves can get those diamonds back."
Everyone suddenly didn't know what to say.
Old Aston looked at Li Changheng and said, "Henry, since you have confirmed that the diamond stolen by the cleaner named Hobbes, can you tell us how he did it?
Maybe if you think about it together, you can think of where he actually hid the diamonds."
Li Changheng thought for a while before saying, "When I first went to the vault, I had a rough guess in my mind."
"How is this possible?"
"Quiet, Oliver", Old Aston's eyes shone, and he looked at Li Changheng with suspicion and said, "Henry, don't worry about him, continue."
When Li Changheng saw the old Aston's eyes, he knew that the old man was actually suspicious of him.
However, this was not what he did, so Li Changheng looked at Old Aston calmly and said, "It's the first time I walked into the aisle of the 7th floor vault.
The first thing I noticed was the camera on the entrance door, and the two cameras outside the vault, at the corner of the aisle and under the vault alloy gate.
Logically speaking, with these three comprehensive monitoring, it is impossible to find anyone entering and exiting the aisle leading to the vault.”
Everyone nodded after hearing this, and then looked at Li Changheng with anticipation.
“Then I found that these cameras would stop working automatically, so I started to be suspicious at that time.
The answer was then found in the information left by insurance investigator Finch Grant.
Perhaps it is because the technology is not up to standard, or the thermal dissipation technology of photography equipment at this time is extremely low.
This resulted in the entire building having 8 monitoring points, and only 4 screens can be installed in the monitoring room.
In order to give monitoring equipment that has been working for a long time, stop working and dissipate heat naturally.
Therefore, the monitoring of these 1-8 is to display monitoring No. 1234 first, and after 15 seconds, the monitoring No. 2345 is displayed.
After 15 seconds, 3456 will be displayed, followed by 4567, 5678 and then 6781.
In other words, the period when the No. 1 camera that monitors the vault gate alone will be displayed again, there will be a full minute interval between the time when the vault image is displayed."
Everyone actually knows about the equipment cooling. After all, the proposal to install a camera is Oliver Aston.
This matter was also discussed on the board of directors due to cost reasons.
Oliver asked hurriedly, "But cameras 7 and 8 monitor the aisles?"
Before Li Changheng could explain, several people present rolled their eyes at him.
As Oliver himself reacted, as long as he calculated the time, he could start walking when the No. 7 camera disappeared on the screen.
Walk to the corner within 15 seconds, wait for Camera No. 8 to disappear on the screen, walk through the passage outside the vault, and stand under Camera No. 1.
Wait for 15 seconds and start opening the door of the mechanical vault.
There is at least 50 seconds to open the vault, and then enter the vault in the last 10 seconds. If the door is closed, the alloy door will be locked.
When you come out, you don’t need to lock it, just need to close the vault door and push the cart for 30 seconds to run under the No. 7 camera.
"God", Oliver covered his forehead and held the seat before he stood firm, and then said with a very blame, "Sorry, I, I don't know that the camera actually has such a big loophole."
Everyone did not blame Oliver who advocated following the camera this time.
