Chapter 11 Go to the Devil's Bank

Driving on the road, Zhang Meng whistled, bathed in the glory of the morning sun, and was refreshed.

Zhang Meng pondered how to get some money for himself. Although Zhang Wei agreed to let Zhang Meng sell the house, it was still other people's money after all, and Zhang Meng didn't want to eat soft rice.

In the 21st century, Zhang Meng may only be able to do his duty as a small demolition worker, but in this era, Zhang Meng thinks that he is omnipotent, and can even do whatever he wants.

Zhang Meng drove slowly near the commercial center of Elizabeth Street, looking at the prosperity along the way, when he suddenly found a cash cart stopped at the door of a building called Zhengjin Credit Bank, and armed escort soldiers carried more than a dozen large boxes into the building.

Zhang Meng had an idea, and secretly criticized that the bank defense and alarm measures in this era are still very primitive, and it should be easy to rob a bank.

As soon as the thought flashed, Zhang Meng immediately pulled over.

He's a guy who does what he says.

In the early days, there was no jishu content in the bank robbery at all. It is usually done after dark, and it is used to blow up the vault with explosives or nitroglycerin (which may burn the money) at night, take the money and leave.

After 1930, the banking industry in the United States underwent jishu improvement. They generally installed alarm systems and concrete-reinforced bomb-proof vaults. There was nothing the robbers could do for a while, but soon the bank robbery was also upgraded.

The new robbers robbed banks during the day, and the robbers' clockwork was admired even by the police. This jishu progress is attributed to Herman Lamm, nicknamed "Baron".

Lamm was a German who served in the Prussian Army and immigrated to the United States after being expelled. While serving a prison sentence in Utah in 1917, he came up with a new way of thinking about bank robbery: the use of military principles. He believes that robbing a bank is not a matter of guns and guts, but of jishu. The bank robbery system he invented came to be known as the "Baron Lamm Technique" and has endured, and most of the bank robbers of the 21st century have improved on this tactic, especially in backward countries and regions, and it is still the most effective method.

Taking advantage of the post-World War I economic depression and the relaxation of the control of the European powers over their colonies in China, the Zhengjin Bank quickly extended its tentacles to various places, opening branches in Hong Kong, Guangzhou, Qingdao, and Hankou in addition to Dalian, Shenyang, Kaiyuan, Changchun, and Harbin, thus further extending the scope of financial aggression to China's Guannei. In terms of financial activities, in addition to issuing currency and absorbing deposits, in 1913, Zhengjin Bank took over the custody of China's salt tax revenue through large-scale loans in the aftermath.

This is an extremely aggressive devil bank, Zhang Meng couldn't help but tighten his eyes.

For Zhang Meng, robbing a bank with his skills cannot be called violence, but art.

Moreover, it is only 1928, and the security upgrade of the Bank of America has not yet begun, and the current level of anti-theft of banks in various countries is undoubtedly as simple as a family for Zhang Meng.

A few more bank robbers may be able to survive in this shijie.

Zhang Meng suddenly smiled evilly, revealing a half-white tooth.

Zhang Meng first stepped on the spot near the bank, drew pictures, and entered the bank on the pretext of a loan, and negotiated with a lobby manager named Abe Koizumi.

Abe's office is near the entrance of the third staircase, and the two talked in detail in the office without closing the door.

Zhang Meng really wanted to sell his villa, so he directly reported his name and address, Abe Koizumi obviously knew the situation of the villas on the banks of the Wutong River, and immediately said that each villa there could generally be mortgaged 300,000 yen (the yen was very valuable at this time), and was very eager to make this loan deal with Zhang Meng.

Zhang Meng took advantage of Abe Koizumi's eagerness to ask them about the credit and strength of the credit bank in order to find out about the bank's situation.

Abe Koizumi did not doubt him, pointed to the armed escorts carrying money boxes at the entrance of the building, and said: "We are a Hong Kong branch here, and in order to enter the Hong Kong financial industry, the Yokohama headquarters has specially transferred a large amount of money, and tens of millions of yen are deposited here every day to ensure the opening of the Hong Kong financial market, so there is no need to worry about the strength of our credit bank." ”

Zhang Meng understands that this Zhengjin Bank has just entered Hong Kong, and it will indeed inject a huge amount of money to ensure its reputation, so this is exactly what he is happy about, he is afraid that the little devil will have no money in the treasury.

Zhang Meng watched the other party lift the box upstairs, so he asked puzzledly, "What?" Shouldn't the vault be in the basement? ”

Abe Koizumi said with a smile: "Mr. Zhang, what you said was in the past, and now the vaults in Hong Kong are all upstairs, because it is easy for people to dig tunnels and blow up and steal them in the basement." ”

Zhang Meng suddenly realized and said with a smile: "Then your bank is too backward, right?" I've heard that the U.S. side has sirens and cement-reinforced vaults that can't be blown up. ”

Abe Koizumi suddenly said: "It seems that Mr. Zhang is very familiar with the United States, so he must have business over there, right?" ”

Zhang Meng climbed down the pole and said: "There are only a few companies, which have recently invested in real estate over there and need capital turnover, so they mortgage the property here." ”

Abe Koizumi believed it, so he explained: "Actually, our bank was also renovated, but the president was against it, so he still used the old vault on the eighth floor. However, we have also introduced an anti-theft alarm system, so that the police can arrive within 10 minutes if something happens. ”

It turned out that the vault was on the eighth floor, Zhang Meng nodded, glanced at the air conditioning vent above his head, and asked, "It's cool here, you also have air conditioning?" ”

"Of course!" Abe Koizumi said proudly: "With the strength of our bank, how can we retain customers in the summer without installing the most advanced central air conditioning?" All floors are supported by central air conditioning, including the banknotes in the vault. ”

Zhang Meng knew it in his heart.

At this time, the armed escort came down from the upper floor, followed by an old man, who was told by Abe Koizumi that this old man was the specially hired British governor Holmes, and the key and password to the vault were on him.

The question was almost over, so Zhang Meng pretended to be anxious. After asking about the location of the bathroom, Zhang Meng quickly checked the number of security guards in the security room and the location of the vault through the urethra, and then checked the vents in the ceiling, which were just enough to crawl.

Returning to Abe Koizumi's office, Zhang Meng agreed with him that he would come over tomorrow with his house photos to sign the relevant loan mortgage contract with him.

Abe Koizumi was immediately overjoyed and kept sending Zhang Meng out of the bank building.

After coming out, Zhang Meng did not leave.

After checking just now, he found that the alarm system is very primitive, and there is no independent alarm line, as long as the original anti-theft system cuts off the power supply, the alarm will not ring again. If you want to go up to the eighth floor without alerting the security guards downstairs, you can only go down from the top floor. There are a lot of security guards, and it is best to level them out from the ventilation duct to the security room where they are still ether bullets, the middle strategy is to break through each one and stun them, but that is very time-consuming, the next strategy is to shoot them directly, but Zhang Meng is not a bloodthirsty person, and he will not kill innocent people as a last resort.

Looking around at the surrounding buildings, there are many high-rise buildings, and the closest to the bank building and higher than the bank building is the KaDeWe Hotel next door.

Zhang Meng entered the KaDeWe Hotel, asked for a room on the top floor, and then climbed to the top of the hotel.

The Bargret style of architecture makes the roof high and pointed, and Zhang Meng is careful not to slip under his feet, and falling is not a joke.

Pull out his Swiss multi-function folding knife, a classic folding knife with more than 70 functions, including a laser pen that can accurately measure distances up to 150 meters. The distance between the roofs on both sides was measured to be 23.2 meters, and ropes and nail guns were used in the past. In case of an emergency, the bank building is more than 30 meters high and requires a sliding lock.

After Zhang Meng Jihua was well, he left the hotel, and after walking around the city of Berlin, he bought all the crime equipment he needed.

Zhang Meng believes that the best way to do this is to get the password and key from the bank president, and the next strategy is to use explosives to open the vault.

Obviously, Zhang Meng doesn't like to use the next strategy.

At the door of the bank until the end of work, Zhang Meng followed the bank president Holmes all the way, and saw that Holmes first went to the school to pick up his granddaughter, and then took his granddaughter to play for a while, until Zhang Meng was impatient to follow, they did not go home.

After following him all the way to the door of his house and observing the surrounding situation, Zhang Meng covered his face and climbed over the wall to enter Holmes's house.

There were only Holmes and his granddaughter in the house, Zhang Meng easily controlled the two of them, and after some soft and hard treatment, Holmes just didn't say anything. Eventually, Zhang Meng threatened to kill his granddaughter, forcing Holmes to give in and hand over the key and password to Zhang Meng.

Zhang Meng tried several times again to make sure that the password was real.

Holmes said angrily: "Even if you get the key and password, you won't be able to enter the building, let alone the security guards and police, they will soon know that I have been kidnapped, so you better stop it quickly." ”

"Then I won't bother you!" Zhang Meng saw that Holmes's face was very ugly, and he knew that the password must be true.

Knocking Holmes and his granddaughter unconscious, Zhang Meng tied them up and left.

Zhang Meng felt hungry and wanted to rob the bank after dinner, but he thought that the security guards in the bank must also be ready to eat at this time, and they would definitely gather together, just in time to clean them up together.

Without further ado, Zhang Meng immediately returned to the roof of the hotel with all his equipment and started to act.

In a dark corner on the right side of the roof, Zhang Meng attached one end of the rope lock to the flying claw of the nail gun, and then shot at the opposite bank building.

There was a soft "ding" sound, and the flying claws landed on the opposite rooftop. Zhang Meng pulled slightly, and the flying claw buckled on the railing.

Pulling the rope tightly, Zhang Meng fixed the other end, hung up the pulley, and slid along the rope to the opposite side with a hard kick on his foot.

The moment he hit the ground, Zhang Meng rolled and hid in the dark corner next to him. After a while, until no unusual sound was heard, he carefully opened the barbed wire fence of the vent and slipped inside.

Soon, Zhang Meng found the security room, and sure enough, a group of security guards were eating bento, as well as cigarettes and alcohol, and it seemed that they were very idle on weekdays.

Zhang Meng took out a simple ether bomb, opened the safety and put it on the vent, the ether gas was blown into the security room along the vent, and in less than ten seconds, everyone fainted.

Zhang Meng retreated, jumped down from the vent of a nearby office, came to the door of the security room, counted the heads, and many of them were here.

Zhang Meng was immediately relieved, cut off the alarm bell, and went straight to the outside of the vault. Dial the mechanical code, insert the key, and open the vault door directly.

As the vault door opened, there were tens of millions of banknotes and gold bars inside. There are also bank bonds, all kinds of antiques, calligraphy and paintings, etc., which are all collateral of the borrower.

Zhang Meng can't take away so much money and things, so he can only pick valuable ones. The first was the dozen bank bonds, bearer bonds, more than 100 in all, each with a face value ranging from $10,000 to $100,000.

Zhang Meng then began to sweep through the gold bars and the 1,000-dollar bill, until his backpack was full.

Before leaving, Zhang Meng found a delicate locket, opened it and saw that it was a sapphire necklace, Zhang Meng was well-informed, and immediately guessed that it was priceless, and it should be a mortgage. Thinking that there is no gift for Zhang Wei yet, this is just right.

Thinking of Zhang Wei, I couldn't help but think of Xiao Zhao, so Zhang Meng rummaged through the cabinets again, and finally found only a gold bracelet for a woman, the carving was very beautiful, and the weight was checked, which was enough for one or two, and it was a big gift to Xiao Zhao, thanking her for taking good care of herself during this time.

As they left, the bank guards were still unconscious.

After Zhang Meng cleaned up the traces of his crime, he jumped out of the window on the second floor and left.
