Chapter 53 is safe

The Solomon Islands is known as the world's "least developed country", which is another way of expressing the word "the most pristine country". Because the country has hardly been artificially exploited, it has no farmland, no mining, and likewise no industry.

But this small island is rich in resources, it is located in the south of Australia, the island is densely covered with tropical rainforests, the islanders do not need to farm, the island's coconut meat, rice, cocoa, sweet potato, plantains, pineapples, not only enough for the island's inhabitants to eat, but also for export exchange, plus a little timber export, plus a little fish processing - that is, to dry the fish into dried fish, so that the islanders are very rich in foreign exchange in exchange for exports, as well as oil.

Although this island is not developed at all, but the mineral resources are extremely rich, it is said that when the Spanish navigator Mendanha arrived here, he saw the aborigines wearing glittering gold ornaments, and thought that he had found the gold treasure house of King Solomon in the Bible, so he named this place "Solomon Islands" - the gold on this island is granular stones, just pick it up, without any refining technology, with a hammer hammer is all kinds of jewelry.

The sea area where this island is located is also known as the "best diving area", and its water is clear and transparent, and you can see the seabed of dozens of meters at a glance, so it is called the "crystal sea", and its tourism development potential is very large. However, because of the lack of flights and the small number of hotels, the number of tourists is around 1,200 all year round - on average, there are only three foreigners a day in the entire group of 990 small islands.

But today there are six foreigners on the island, and all of them are concentrated on the main island, Honiara, which is a rare phenomenon in a century.

The first foreigner arrived yesterday, he flew in from Dubai to escort a shipment to Honiara Island, this shipment is mainly construction materials, it is said that a wealthy Emirati man intends to build a villa on the island, cement, steel bricks, etc., all from Dubai by plane. This man will return to Dubai that evening after shipping coconut meat, rice and cocoa, as well as a variety of fruits, from the Solomon Islands.

In addition to this, the transport plane also carried an additional container. This container is a "self-pickup cargo" - the kind of container that does not have a cargo owner and picks it up from customs by the bill of lading.

The Solomon Islands does not have a special customs office, because there are not many people coming and going, and it is visa-free for everyone, and all goods are exempt from inspection, so customs officers work part-time from airport security. It also doesn't have a special customs warehouse, and the unloaded items are thrown away by the airport, left to the wind and rain, and no one cares what is inside.

But apparently, the owner of the container cares. On the second day, five foreigners were chased from Dubai by special plane, three of whom were the owners of the "self-pickup containers", and the other two were the pilots of the plane and the flight attendants on board. As a result, there are a rare six foreigners in the Solomon Islands, and all of them are concentrated on the main island.

The three cargo owners got off the plane, didn't even bother to book a hotel, rented a container truck from the airport, found a crane to move the container to the rented car, and then dragged the container truck rumbling away, disdainful of the only hotel in the area from beginning to end.

Although this "self-pickup container" is not large, the weight is very heavy. Mr. Santa, the only security inspector and ticket inspector at the airport, the director of the airport building, the director of customs, and the director of the post office, looked at the container truck in the distance, swallowed a mouthful of phlegm and said: "I'm really curious about what is inside, the five-ton forklift can't be shoveled, and the customs declaration form says that it is a metal material for construction, what metal is so heavy?" ”

Mr. Santa's words were not listened to, because ...... He was the only one in the entire airport.

The container truck is also driven by the owner himself, anyway, this is an island, in addition to the tropical rainforest, the remaining livable area is not large, and he is not afraid of people stealing the vehicle, so the chartered An Feng insisted a little, and the container driver threw the car directly and drank by himself...... He didn't even notice that the car ended up being driven away by the youngest of the three.

After An Feng started the car, Argyle was as if nothing happened, and Han Zhiyan was stunned. She saw An Feng's skillful movements, driving the car onto the coastal road like an old fritter, and along the road all the way to the west, until an hour later, the car stopped at a seaside building 20 kilometers away from the city of Okey...... Thatched house.

Honiara is not the largest island in the Solomon Islands, but it also spans two degrees of longitude and is about 200 kilometres long. The island is closest to Australia, so it is the most prosperous and most populous, with a total population of about 300,000 people. The Chinese of the archipelago are basically concentrated on this island, and the number of people exceeds 2,000.

An Feng's container truck stopped in front of an antique-style villa. The architectural style of the villa is Chinese, with a half-height fence enclosing a small boxy courtyard, and the courtyard gate is open on the side of the road, and the container truck can drive directly into it and park in the courtyard. The main house facing the courtyard gate is a typical temple-style sloping roof cornice, and the two rows of wings on either side seem to be storage rooms and garages.

The car drove into the courtyard, and in the small space, An Feng skillfully reversed back and forth, and Han Zhiyan on the side was stunned for a long time, and couldn't help but interject: "Fengfeng, how did you learn to drive, such a big container truck...... It's not your first time driving, are you? The first time we met, didn't you say that your parents were civilians? ”

An Feng bit his lower lip and focused on aiming the rear of the car at the west wing on the left side, until the rear of the car was no closer to the door of the west wing, then he parked the car, turned off the engine, and replied: "Sister Han, there are some things, don't be really good?" ”

Han Zhiyan was silent for a moment, bit her lip and said, "I was deceived by your child?" You pulled me in a hurry...... Is it easy for me to take a leave of absence? ”

"But gold is the cheapest here", An Feng dodged Han Zhiyan's hand and explained: "Sister Han, here, in the tropical forest, on the mountain, you can see the dog's head gold, and everything you pick up belongs to you." ”

Han Zhiyan scolded: "Cut, I don't understand anything else, why don't I know the geography of various countries?" It's been hundreds of years since it was discovered, and if there is gold, it's not all for others to pick up. Besides, we only stay for one day, so how can we have time to go to the mountains to look for stones? ”

An Feng pushed the car door and jumped out of the car, greeting Han Zhiyan: "Sister Han, get out of the car." Let's get the containers in order, and we'll be right away...... During this time, why don't I find a Chinese tour guide to accompany you everywhere? ”

"Pull me to order", Han Zhiyan beckoned.

The container truck was very tall, Han Zhiyan jumped off the cab with the help of Argyle, she frowned and looked at the courtyard, which had not been cleaned for a long time, and was already full of barren grass. The doors of several houses were covered with cobwebs and vines, and although the glass of the windows was bright, the doors were covered with dust.

"What kind of house is this? How long has no one lived? Han Zhiyan asked with a frown.

Fifteen years later, this is a hiding place for An Feng.

The hideout was discovered by accident by An Feng, and the owner of the house was a Japanese architect in his sixties who was only forty years old today. He built this house for his wife, when he was newly married, so it was built with great care, and he spent almost everything on it, this house is a thatched house on the surface, but it is actually concrete, but the surface is decorated with wood grain and thatch.

Seven years after the house was built, the woman the architect loved was no longer married, and the weary architect never came here again. Three years later, this year, he remarried, married the youngest grandson of the Japanese zaibatsu, and his talent began to show, and in another ten years, he would become one of Japan's top 10 architects, but by then he had forgotten the house completely.

Unfortunately, the architect only lived fifteen years after remarrying, and when he was in a car accident at the height of his career, his family discovered the property of the house while sorting through his inheritance, but because of its remote location, he could not come to it several times in his life, so his family never saw the house. And An Feng saw this villa listed for sale during a mission, and the low price was simply unbelievable, but no one appreciated it.

For others, this house is extremely remote, but for An Feng, remoteness is not a problem, the more remote it is when hidden, the better. Anyway, the price is not high, he bought this house casually, and planned to use it in the future, but he didn't expect that after he used it once, he felt that he couldn't put it down.

This villa is the fruit of love, it was used by the architect for his honeymoon, so this house is full of care and warmth, considering that the house is uninhabited all year round, so the materials chosen by the architect are durable and very burglar-resistant...... So in this operation, An Feng was the first to think of this seaside villa, and as soon as Steven contacted the architect, the other party immediately agreed to sell it...... Although the price is a bit higher, it is well worth it.

The house was built on the edge of a cliff, and the outside of the hut looked very shabby and antique, with a coastal road in front of it, and the car could drive directly into the courtyard. The small balcony of the main house, you can see the sea not far away when you push the door. The cliff below the main house is actually not very high, and the height of four meters is just enough to make it difficult to climb. The bottom of the cliff has been hollowed out and used as a hidden storage room.

The only entrance to the storage room is in the bedroom, there is a dark ladder leading to the storage room, and the cold air in the storage room is used as an air conditioner, which leads to the rooms through secret copper pipes to lower the ambient temperature. The architects hid the copper pipes to keep them warm and prevent them from being heated by the air, but this was ...... Not only do people not feel depressed in the secret room, but they can also eavesdrop on the movements of each room through the brass pipe.

When the architect built this house, he took into account the perennial uninhabited situation, so the water and electricity of this house are the best, the diesel generator is installed in the wing, in order to reduce the noise, the generator set is buried in the ground, and only the refueling port and the starting port are left on the ground. An Feng, who jumped out of the car, ignored Han Zhiyan's complaints, took out a bunch of keys while the other party was tidying up his appearance, and opened the door of the wing room smoothly.

Waiting for Han Zhiyan and Argyle to walk into the east wing room curiously, An Feng was already refueling the generator set, this job had the help of Argyle, who was tall and powerful, and immediately sped up, and after a while, the electron group was activated, and the whole house was energized.

The main house can only be turned on when the electricity is on...... Of course, there is no need to explain this to Han Zhiyan.

At noon, there is a Chinese-style lotus leaf door, half of which is a heavy wooden plank, and half of which is a hollow flower window. When the door is opened, there is a safety door - in fact, all the doors and windows in this room are equipped with steel safety doors and windows, except for the main entrance, all other doors and windows can only be opened from the inside of the door.

The safety doors and windows are still double-locked, enter the password to start the generator set, after the house is electrified, the hidden motor in the house starts, and the first layer of the door latch of the main door is automatically opened, and the second floor of the door latch needs to be opened by the owner with a key - this action from the outside, it seems that this villa is a mechanical lock, very simple and simple.

The second safety doors and windows are made from Japan, which are very delicate and tightly sealed. But even so, the house was still very dusty, after all, the house had not been inhabited for five years, and grass had grown on the cracks of the marble floor. After Han Zhiyan entered the door, she watched An Feng open the safety doors and windows one by one, stood in place with a frown, and said, "This house is ......, it will take at least a few hours to clean up, Fengfeng, if you want to live for a short time, it is better not to clean it up." ”

An Feng thought for a moment and responded, "It's okay." Sister Han, I will help you contact the local Chinese tour guide, you go out for four hours, and we will leave for the airport four hours later. ”

Han Zhiyan was very easy-going: "Okay, I can't help you here, I'll go out and bring you food...... What do you want to eat? ”

The west wing is the kitchen, which has a grinder, a cutter, etc., all of which are Russian goods, manual and electric, thick and bulky.

The container truck is very tall and has a horizontal body, blocking the entire courtyard from the outside.

The Chinese tour guide came quickly, An Feng casually stuffed Han Zhiyan with two stacks of bills worth 20,000 US dollars, and couldn't help but push Han Zhiyan: "Sister Han, let's go, we are here, who is it, remember our address, and in four hours, please send Miss Han back." ”

The Chinese tour guide looked at the villa curiously, and when he wanted to speak, An Feng immediately urged: "Sister Han, time is very tight, you go and come back quickly." ”

The dust in the west wing was very thick, but these An Feng didn't care anymore, taking advantage of the fact that there was no one around, An Feng and Argyle quickly carried the gold bricks, and quickly used a cutter to polish the marks on the gold bricks. An hour later, Argyle continued to polish in the West Wing, and An Feng took the car that picked him up and rushed to the local bank.

If there is one industry with the most in the region, it is banks. There are more banks than hotels and restaurants on the island, and many of the world's leading banks have set up offices here, even if there are only three or five people in the office, even if they don't have a few deposits a year, they are happy to do so - because this is a zero-tariff zone, zero tax rates on goods and currencies arriving at shore, and very low handling fees. In order to reasonably avoid taxes, it is worth making goods and money circulate here.

Of course, the flow of goods and money on Solomon Island does not need to be actually landed, and in the age of the Internet, this turnover is just an electronic roaming, and the cost is almost negligible, so it eventually becomes a "money laundering paradise......

In the Solomon Islands in 1992, the money laundering industry was in the ascendant, but the bank staff here had seen everyone, and they still seemed polite when they saw a child of An Feng's age appear. "Is there anything I can do to you, sir?" The bank clerk asked.
