"Valentin, go see if you can open it. ”

Everyone has curiosity, and the Red Devils are no exception, and Andrei gave instructions to Comrade Major, who is good at locksmithing.

Open, not pry open, technical work.

After biting the last bite of the apple, he swallowed it three times and divided it by two, and without speaking, he got up and took the small bag he had just put on the side, and Valentin walked over to see the safe.

Untied the curtain cloth he was holding and threw it aside, he thought his feet were sore, and simply sat cross-legged on the relatively clean floor of the lounge, and began to study the target to start.

The more than 100-pound safe is small, and the door has a keyhole, a handle, and a code plate, so you can tell that this thing is a little old.

Looking left and right, the original production nameplate is gone.

"At the latest of the beginning of the century, British products, the brand is not easy to say, antique, it is not a big problem to open, and it is necessary to time. ”

After reading it, Valentin said quite confidently.

"How long?"

"An hour at most. ”

The colonel was silent after listening, and Valenjing didn't have to turn his head to look to know what Andrei would mean by this: an hour?

What else are you putting on?

Let's get to work.

If you talk more and be disliked, you will do it.

As long as there are the right tools, opening an old-fashioned safe is not super difficult for a real locksmith, Valentin thinks he is a master, and he carries the tools with him, and an hour in the world is a conservative estimate: the keyhole and the cipher plate are rusted because of the long period of moisture, and the time has to be said to be longer, so as not to capsize in the gutter and be laughed at by the guys.

I got up and went to the small kitchen to get some olive oil, and then took out a small tool kit from my bag: the colonel asked him to open the safe, not to pry the safe, and he couldn't be too violent!

First to rust, then to deal with the code disc, olive oil is when the keyhole lubricant...

This is on the ship, the use of special stethoscopes and other dramas are gone, the high-speed diesel engine roars, the speed of the ship is over 20 knots, the noise of the engine and propeller plus the sound of the hull crashing waves, and the use of a hairy stethoscope!

A master is sitting cross-legged and unpacking, and a group of Chaoyang people are not watching, what should they do, basically they just close their eyes and rest.

I've learned how to deal with such a simple safe, anyone can deal with it if they have tools, but it's a big deal that Valentin has studied more carefully, and there's nothing to look at.

Suddenly, Andrei, who was already asleep on the back of the sofa, heard a voice: "It's on!"

I'll just say, there's no safe in the world that can hold me!"

It's Valentin, who is blowing a little arrogantly, the question is that he said this before?

André didn't bother to bother, got up and saw the safe with the door ajar.

This is a safe, not a bomb box, and Andrei stepped forward and glanced twice, which opened the iron cabinet door.

There's no gold, no classified documents...

Belch...

Speaking of secrets, this is a box that has been closed for more than forty years, except for a very few types of secrets, other secrets have long since become scum with the retirement of the world!

Inside the safe is a large flat wooden box, ordinary in style, thick, and nothing else.

Andrei took out the wooden box, placed it on the table in the lounge on the side, and studied the clasp of the wooden box for a moment before opening it.

When he saw the contents of the box clearly, the cucumber brother who was in the excitement on the side shouted: "Oh!

Colonel, we seem to be rich again!"

Ignoring whether to make a fortune or not, Andre narrowed his eyes and said, "I seem to have seen it somewhere." ”

When Valenjing on the side heard this, he also said: "Well, I also seem to have a little impression, let me think about it." ”

......

One day in 1928, a group of visitors dressed in exotic costumes came to Place Vendôme, the center of luxury luxury in Paris: an Indian nobleman with several wives and a dozen retinues walked into Cartier's shop.

The Indian aristocrat had come to order some jewelry: in front of the Indian visitors, Cartier's clerks opened the six boxes they had brought with them.

Although the clerks had seen many of the treasures worn by the store's business and previous customers, they were stunned by what they saw: six boxes containing a total of 1,432 emeralds, 7,571 diamonds and countless ruby sapphires!

Who is this Indian nobleman?

Parisians were not familiar with this Indian nobleman, but his name was familiar in India at the time: Bupindar Singh, the princely king of Patiala, the largest state in Punjab, India.

In India, King Singh has a strong voice in politics, business and even religion, and in addition to being worshiped as the spiritual leader of Sikhism in India, his habits of poverty and luxury are basically known to the top of India.

This guy is even quite edgy!

As early as 1911, the earth king bought an airplane made by the Wright brothers, played with the big toy of private jets, and at the same time, he was also an avid jewelry lover.

Mr. Tuwang came to Paris this time to buy a nod for a big celebration of his friend Captura Prince.

Good face.

In India, the lowly and poor people live worse than pigs and dogs, and the high-status, wealthy dignitaries are poor and luxurious, and jewelry is one of the symbols of the status and status of these dignitaries.

The more prominent the status, the more jewelry, the larger, and the more high-end the jewelry: this will make Mr. Tuwang plan to play a big game, and he must not lose face at the important celebration of his friends.

Customized, at that time, Cartier went all out, not counting other jewelry, designed and manufactured a necklace for Mr. Tuwang that will still be jaw-dropping today: the Patiala necklace, set with a total of 2,930 diamonds, and the total weight of diamonds reached 962.25 carats!

The necklace consists of 5 white gold chains set with diamonds connected in different layers, especially with a large diamond, the smallest of which is 18 carats and the heaviest is 73 carats.

In the center of the necklace's diamond pendant is a giant yellow diamond weighing 234.69 carats, the seventh largest diamond in the world at the time: this is a very famous named diamond, called the "De Beers diamond".

It was De Beers, and the diamond was named after its company: it was discovered in 1888 at the De Beers diamond mine in the Kimberley region of South Africa, when the huge rough was a relatively regular octahedron, pale yellow and transparent.

Weighing 428.5 ct and measuring about 47.6 millimeters long, it was the largest diamond ever found in the Kimberley region at the time, and it would take 17 years for the giant "Star of Africa" to be discovered.

De Beers immediately named the company after it, and the rough was sent to Amsterdam, the Netherlands, the world's diamond cutting center at the time, to be cut in the cushion shape and still weigh 234.65 carats.

In 1889, the diamond was exhibited at the Paris Exposition, and after being exhibited, it was purchased by the princely king of the Indian state of Patiyala.

And then ... It was brought to Paris again by King Bupindal-Singh and became the center diamond of the pendant of Cartier's elaborate and jaw-dropping Patiala necklace.

After the death of King Bupindar, this huge diamond necklace was tossed and turned several times, and finally in 1947 it disappeared from the world, and no one has ever seen it again!

And now...

After thinking for two seconds, Valentin said, "This is the big necklace of the Indian soil king!"

"What a big necklace, how did you pass the jewelry appreciation and appraisal course?

This is the Patiala necklace, and the one hanging from it is a De Beers diamond. ”

Well, despised by Comrade Colonel!

At this point, Andre smiled again and said, "Interesting, it's really interesting, that Zhang Nangang let us blow up the headquarters of De Beers and its parent company, and killed the majority shareholder of the family."

The diamond named after De Beers has disappeared for decades and reappeared, and in a few days this thing is his, which is really interesting!"

The Sunshine Star Group and Anglo American Group are in an all-out war, which will "De Beers drill" into the hands of the Red Devil, and Andre thinks that Mr. Zhang Nan will definitely take it into his pocket, and this time it will be sold at a good price 100%.

It is unlikely that it will be purchased at half price, it should be purchased at market price, because this exaggerated necklace can be seen without modification: no one knows that it is the stolen goods of a robbery and murder, and its whereabouts for the previous 44 years are a certainty!
