86. Collections
The excavation continued until about 7 a.m., and when the road outside began to be filled with more and more passing vehicles, the vine finally broke through the last centimeter of concrete and showed his head in the chamber. There are many vehicles on the street, and it feels very bad in this underground passage, which is inherently a structure that gathers sound, and it is obviously impossible to install sound-absorbing structures and materials as a municipal facility with very strict cost considerations. Cars came and went above them, rumbling in the passages, and it was difficult to talk to each other.
"I'll remove the rattan and use the camera to see what's going on inside. Zuo Lin didn't immediately open the wall at one end of the secret room, but only opened a small hole large enough for the speculum camera to pass through.
The signal from the camera is a little confusing, and the place that has been opened up looks like a narrow space that is only more than 40 centimeters high, but many pipelines are installed.
"Suspended ceiling?" Cheng Chi suddenly understood the location of their passage exit. "That's great, remove a few suspended ceilings and go in, and put them back on when you come out. The other party will have to delay at least a few hours if they want to find out what is going on. ”
"I'll leave it to you. Zuo Lin breathed a long sigh of relief, since there was no problem with the location of the exit of the passage, it would be good. He took out the sword bag from his arms and asked Li Xu to borrow, and said, "This will be given to you first, and I will finish it quickly." ”
The passage carved out by the broken vine is only a few tens of centimeters in diameter, just enough for a person's shoulder width. This kind of small and cramped space Zuo Lin thanked Bumin, and hurriedly threw the next work to Cheng Chi. As for himself, he left his hands free and enjoyed the breakfast sent by Cheng Chi's men.
Cheng Chi did not shirk. His body flickered, as if his whole person had turned into countless tiny particles, and disappeared with a thud, and then he appeared at the end of the passage. With a slight push of both hands, the last bit of concrete of insignificant thickness turned into powder. Then, Cheng Chi shrank into the space of the ceiling. The air circulation system in the secret room is very strong, and although it is underground, the whole space is dry and clean, probably because there is no dust in the atmosphere all the time. Putting the tactical flashlight in his mouth, Cheng Chi used a folding knife to pick open the ceiling of the fiber material, densely covered with small ventilation holes, and gently landed on the suffocating ground.
When no one was around, the secret room was still lit with a faint blue cold light, rendering the atmosphere a little weird. In the middle of the chamber is a desk and a comfortable chair. There is a computer on the desk. On all four walls of the chamber are shelves made of nanmu wood, similar to filing cabinets. It was densely packed with all kinds of documents, but more often than not, it was boxes of CDs, totaling tens of thousands. At the top and bottom of the shelves are storage boxes, and there are two moisture-proof boxes in the corners.
Being able to enter the Tang family's secret room so easily was quite legendary in Cheng Chi's opinion, if they were to come by themselves and storm into the secret room, maybe the only thing he could do was to find the secret account as quickly as possible and take it away. But now, he has very much time. Because he didn't want everyone to wait in the channel, Cheng Chi didn't waste time looking for dark accounts. Instead, they chose the simplest approach: evacuate them all. The ample space of the sword bag allowed Cheng Chi to calmly fit the entire secret room connected to the desks, chairs and bookshelves in the secret room. It was only at this time that Tang's secret room could be called "the four walls of the family".
Then, Cheng Chi jumped into the ceiling, and with a little fire spell, he re-glued the ceiling back to the aluminum alloy shelf on the ceiling of the device, and then dodged back into the maintenance passage along the narrow passage. He couldn't help but look at Zuo Lin, who was halfway through breakfast, and said, "Let's go, go back and cook some hot food." ”
A little discouraged, they immediately rushed back to the factory that was used as a temporary residence. After changing clothes and having breakfast, Cheng Chi's subordinates evacuated first with their equipment, while Cheng Chi and Zuo Lin flew back to Shanghai by turtle plane with all the things they got from Tang's villa.
Although he felt that it was strange for Zuo Lin to fly back less than a day after leaving, Zhang Ling, who stayed at home, instinctively didn't ask anything.
In Zuo Lin's study, they took everything out of the sword bag one by one. With almost no effort, Cheng Chi discovered the dark accounts of the Tang Group on the computer. Because there are too many other things in the hard drive, it is late to take a copy in the end. Subsequently, Cheng Chi helped Zuo Lin classify those discs that didn't know what they were stored. For there was nothing of value except a set of photographic equipment, a small amount of cash in various currencies, a pistol, and a few gold nuggets. This somewhat made Cheng Chi feel a little embarrassed. Compared to Zuo Lin's great contribution to this mission, this kind of reward is too disproportionate.
After putting the disc into the optical drive, they found that they were all video files, and they looked at several discs in a row. The file names are all numeric and alphanumeric numbers, which can be a bit confusing.
"I'll see if there's an index file on that computer, and you'll just look at the disc by disc. With that, he sat back down in front of the computer and flipped through the few files on the computer's hard drive.
In less than 10 minutes, the two of them put down what they were working on in unison, and for no other reason, they saw something extremely shocking.
Zuo Lin casually took out a few sheets from the disc box, but when he clicked on the file, what he saw was jaw-dropping. Several discs are actually secretly filmed videos, and the candid videos worthy of the Tang Group's collection are naturally not the kind that are overwhelmingly circulated on the Internet. Zuo Lin looked at it casually, and with a few clicks of the mouse on the progress bar, he found that there was no shortage of well-known people in the video who often appeared in the media. And the content, without a doubt, is the more erotic kind.
"What does the Tang Group do to collect so many celebrity pornes?" Zuo Lin asked.
Cheng Chi turned over the computer screen, pointed to the table on the screen and said to Zuo Lin: "Come and see, I'm afraid it's more than a movie." Insider trading, bribery, ...... A record of scandals of all kinds. And it's not just videos, but also scans and remakes of photos or text. Even if it's an A-movie, it's not all secretly filmed, there are also rape, drugs and so on. Compared to the you can imagine, these things may not look so exciting, but when it comes to the content, it's just too exciting. ”
Zuo Lin leaned over and flipped through the form. A large database is a categorical index of all the discs, what is recorded in each disc, the sensitivity, and whether the people involved in the content know it. The content is quite detailed. After pulling the scroll bar a few times, Zuo Lin found that he was just lucky just now, and directly took a box of video records from Hong Kong and Taiwan, in fact, these scandal materials involved people all over the world. But the strange thing is that according to the annotations made by the Tang Group in this database, except for those A-movies made in rape or drugs, most of the relevant people do not know about it. In other words, the Tang family has collected a large number of scandals, but is still waiting for an opportunity to launch. Such intentions are not simply terrible to describe. And thinking about the manpower and material resources involved in collecting so many materials, the people and relationships that need to be placed in all aspects, it is even more chilling to the spine.
"What exactly does the Tang Group do?" Zuo Lin asked.
"Finance and logistics, and of course, there are many, many interconnected companies. Several of their main projects are in Southeast Asia, and the mainland market is just trying to enter in recent years. There are also several small cooperative projects and funds invested in Europe and the United States. …… But it doesn't seem that simple, I don't know much about why the CIA investigated Tang's secret accounts, and now it seems that there is a bit of a problem inside. Not to mention anything else, this information alone is definitely not something that a group with a little financial resources can collect with a little effort. The hidden power behind it is big and deep. What people don't understand is what they are trying to do by collecting this information?" Cheng Chi took out the cigarette in his pocket and lit one anxiously. Although you can earn hundreds of millions of dollars by handing over the dark accounts to the CIA, it is also very likely to expose that you have made such a "big case". In case the Tang Group or the people behind the Tang family find themselves, even Zeus Express will not be able to protect themselves. $100 million is still a little insignificant compared to his own life. But now the group already knows that he has contracted this project, and tonight, the Tang Group's abnormal movements will definitely not be hidden from those who have a heart, if he does not hand over the dark account, I am afraid that the problem will be more serious, not only may leak the news, Zeus Express may send a team directly under the headquarters to inquire about the matter. Cheng Chi regretted a little, how he accidentally put himself on the powder keg.
Zuo Lin quickly flipped through the pages of the form, roughly scanned it, and then, he sat down on the comfortable sofa by the bookshelf in a bit of a daze. "In any case, the Tang family is not a decent business group, right. Then I won't have to be burdened. ”
"Burden, what burden?" Cheng Chi heard that Zuo Lin seemed to want to do something to the Tang family.
"Look here, backup column. Li Rongrong, Ma Huan...... Several people committed suicide when they were coerced because they were raped or ** filmed an A-movie. This series of things has spanned many years, and they have been doing this kind of thing? Then the Tang Clan should definitely not continue to exist, as for what forces are behind them, you might as well pull them out and take a look. Zuo Lin's tone unconsciously revealed a bit of anger and pride.
"Don't be reckless. Cheng Chi reminded.
Zuo Lin said seriously: "No." Accumulating power, choosing the right time, approaching quietly, and killing with one blow is the style of people like me. Zuo Lin did not go on to explain that almost everyone in the Druid community who is friends with animals will have this habit after choosing a hunting target, and the Druids are an extremely cohesive and mutually helpful group, often for the sake of a person's goal, everyone takes turns to attack until the target is culled, and the druids who are accustomed to this rarely show their feet that lead to reverie. This is one of the reasons why the druids are so mysterious and unpredictable.
