The Ultimate Thief in city - Chapter 665
At night, the soft moonlight shone on the trees and forests, vaguely and hazily, outlining the outline of the path, which was very illusory. The melodious sound of the piano came again, hazy as moonlight, pure as spring water, and gently like the singing of birds
With the sound of the piano, Chen Mo finally ended this seemingly calm but extremely difficult day.
Early the next morning, he came to the end of the path. The secret door on the fence had already been opened for him. Who opened the door? Another self?
If not, it means that Chen Mo seems free, but there are countless experts around him.
He went straight in, closed the door, went out of the study and saw that breakfast had been set on the table in the living room.
In this big room, it seems that there is only another self from the outside world.
And from now on, he will be the master here.
Chen Mo takes off his mask and begins to look at the whole room as the owner. The room is divided into two floors. The first floor is mainly functional room, living room, study and model room
The second floor is mainly a bedroom and a practice room. Standing in front of the window, you can see the whole yard. The yard is not big. There are trees around the wall yard. In addition, you can see a long wall in the woods. The other side of the wall is your living area as a shadow.
I saw a black car and drove slowly into the yard. Chen Mo turns to go downstairs, simply eats some breakfast, and then walks out of the room.
The driver was a young man, very handsome. He respectfully asked, “temple Lord, are you going to Donggang now?”
“Yes.”
Donggang is the largest port on silk island. When he came to the entrance of Donggang, Duan Tao was already waiting for him. The two simply said hello. Duan Tao wanted to take Chen Mo to the office area of the port, but at his request, Duan Tao first accompanied him around Donggang, which gave Chen Mo a preliminary understanding of Donggang.
After turning back to the office area at the port, Hu Bai and park changfan are already waiting for him. Hu Bai obviously didn’t sleep well last night. He already had dark circles under his eyes. He immediately greeted him and said, “temple Lord, I thought all night last night. I can guarantee that there will be no problems in the process he is responsible for.”
Chen Mo smiled and said, “no problem. Why is gold adulterated?”
“Naturally, it was switched.”
“When do you think it was switched?”
“Of course, it is on the waterway from the North Korean port to the silk island.”
Park changfan said, “President Hu, I am responsible for the departure of ship 23 from Hong Kong to Satin island. If you say so, you mean planting. This waterway takes only three hours. How can you swap so much gold in three hours? And your people are escorting on ship 23. If I do something, your people won’t know? ”
At this time, Chen Mo already knew that gold adulteration was just a trick of “thieves shouting to catch thieves”, so he didn’t want to go deep into the matter. Since the whole thing was arranged by another person, it would be arranged seamlessly, and then put the blame on Duan Tao.
So Chen Mo wants to hear Duan Tao’s opinion. He asks, “Lao Duan, what do you think of this?”
Duan Tao said: “the adulteration of gold basically does not exist from the possibility of being swapped during transportation. Because we are equipped with a global positioning system on the cargo ship, we can track the whole voyage of the cargo ship through satellites. ”
“Do you mean that gold went wrong before it left the North Korean port?”
Duan Tao nodded and said, “yes. However, the feasibility of being switched at the port is also very small, because the goods are unloaded and loaded directly, and they are not parked at the North Korean port at all. Moreover, Zhao Kuo, the right hall leader, sent people to secretly protect the whole process. ”
Hu Bai stared and said, “do you mean I did it?”
Duan Tao said: “who did it needs evidence, but as the first responsible person, you must bear the main responsibility.”
Hu Bai’s lips trembled and said, “my old Hu has never taken more money from the organization after following the temple Lord for so many years. I haven’t done anything for private gain. If I have any lies, five thunders a day! ”
Chen Mo comforted him and said, “Lao Hu, those who are clear are clear. This matter will be found out. Lao Duan, is there any doubt about the direction? ”
“Yes. We suspect that there is something wrong with the gold melting brick. Because gold has been under our monitoring since it was mined and built into gold bricks. Last night, I sent right hall leader Zhao Kuo to No. 7 gold mine. It is expected that some relevant personnel will be taken to the island in the evening. ”
Chen Mo nodded approvingly and said, “now, take me to see the gold bricks that have problems.”
The vault is located underground, which is the important place of silk island. Under the leadership of Park changfan, three people took the elevator in the office area to the vault 50 meters underground.
There are thick iron doors on both sides of a long corridor. Each iron door has an electronic code lock. The electronic code lock can only be opened by the operators in the control room.
At the end of the corridor, the heavy iron door was opened through the intercom system, and a space as large as a standard football field was displayed in front of them.
The design height of the whole space is 5.2 meters. There are one meter square cement columns every 15 meters. All the gold is stacked between the cement columns.
Under the illumination of the light, gold is shining and dazzling.
Chen Mo was stunned by the scene in front of him and asked subconsciously, “how much gold is there?”
Duan Tao said: “there are three vaults in satin island. Each vault can hold 1000 tons of gold. Here is only the No. 2 vault, which is in the charge of Park changfan. At present, the No. 2 vault has more than 500 tons of gold.”
Chen Mo took a deep breath. One vault can store 1000 tons of gold. If the three vaults are full, it will be 3000 tons of gold. In terms of 3000 tons of gold reserves, it is even more than many countries in the world.
Why reserve so much gold? As we all know, gold is an important strategic reserve material.
There are three main reasons for gold reserves: first, gold is a hard currency, and gold holders will not be greatly affected by changes in the international banking system or political situation, thus ensuring the value of funds; 2、 Resist the impact of international funds and maintain economic stability; Third, gold is a reliable means of wealth preservation. It has relatively high value, fast realization and strong stability.
Therefore, the purpose of gold reserve in silk island is self-evident: to prevent being targeted by powerful opponents, carry out economic attack and make all its assets depreciate rapidly.
Chen Mo understands the importance of gold reserves, but is curious about the sources of so much gold. Duan Tao said that in addition to its own gold mine production, all the capital income of Longhua society, except the necessary expenses, has purchased gold. Based on the current gold reserves of silk Island, it is not too much to call silk island a small island built on gold.
He bought all his money for gold. What is Chen Xiaotian doing?
Chen Mo’s original plan was to open an account in Switzerland and let Chen Xiaotian manage all the funds. Now it seems that the original idea has been denied.
But is Satin island more secure than the Swiss bank?
Chinese people pay attention to what they hold in their hands. From this point of view, satin island is indeed safer than Swiss bank.
Gold mixed with ruthenium is stacked separately. Hu Bai was the first to go over and check the batch number printed on the gold brick. After confirming that it was correct, he listened to the sound and distinguished the color of the gold brick.
Park changfan asked in surprise, “are you checking the purity of gold?”
“Of course, the purity of gold can be checked by color, sound, hardness and so on,” Hu Bai said
Park changfan felt funny and said, “we have precise instruments to detect.”
Hu Bai said disdainfully, “any instrument may make mistakes, but human experience will not.”
Clang!
Hu Bai threw the gold brick in his hand on the pile of gold bricks and said confidently, “temple Lord. I request that the gold be retested. And I tested it myself. ”
“Do you think this batch of gold is OK?” Chen Mo asked.
Before Hu Bai could speak, park changfan immediately said, “it can’t be no problem. We spot checked more than a dozen batches of this batch of gold, and there were problems. ”
Hu Bai said, “you said that gold is mixed with 30% ruthenium. What is the concept of 30%? Nearly a third are fake. Such a big flaw can’t be found in fake gold. Can’t I see it? ”
Hu Bai is right. 30% is not 3%. As long as you know a little about gold, you can basically see the true and false.
Chen Mo knows that gold adulteration is “made out of nothing”, so he believes Hu Bai from his heart. However, at this time, gold must be “fake” to sing the later play. If the truth is revealed now, the fire will not burn Duan Tao at all, and park changfan can only carry the black pot.
Seeing the three people looking at themselves, Chen Mo said, “there’s no problem with the gold retest, but you can’t participate.”
Hu Bai asked, “why?”
“Because you are the key suspect now.”
“But I don’t believe the people on the island. If you think about the good, it’s their detection that has a problem. If you think about the bad, it’s clear that someone is setting me up.”
Chen Mo turned his head and said, “can you trust Lao Duan? How about I put him personally in charge of the retest? ”
Hu Bai would like to say that he can’t believe it, but Duan Tao is the second in command of Longhua club after all. If he doesn’t trust himself in the future, even if he is cleared of suspicion, there will certainly be a gap between them.
“Lord Duan is personally responsible for testing, of course. However, I still want to participate in it myself. ”
Chen Mo patted Hu Bai on the shoulder and said, “don’t worry, Lao Duan will certainly return your innocence.” Looking up at Duan Tao, he asked, “is it Lao Duan?”
Duan Tao said, “of course.”
At this time, park changfan’s face became very embarrassed. He found the gold adulteration. Now it has been retested, obviously doubting himself. Of course, he firmly believes that there is a problem with gold, because after the discovery of gold adulteration, he checked hundreds of samples for confirmation.
The final conclusion is: there must be a problem with gold!
But when he saw Hu Bai’s confident expression, he began to play drums again. What if the gold is rechecked and there is no problem? Isn’t he framed?
With Hu Bai’s status in the Longhua society, if you slander him, you will have to eat and go.
