Chapter Twenty-Four: The Swallow of Thieves

The woman left no traces,

No fingerprints, no footprints,

No belongings were lost.

The police have conducted an investigation of all the temples in the city and surrounding areas, and have found no dens for the manufacture of counterfeit money.

Izumo Temple came into the police's sight, and there was a lot of suspicion, and the temple had recently incurred more electricity than it could use. The police sent two investigators disguised as pilgrims to monitor the temple's every move. The three of them also decided to go to Izumoji Temple in a few days to check whether the power lines of the temple were secretly laid.

No one expected that the police's action to startle the snake would have a huge harvest.

A few days later, at one o'clock in the evening, the 110 operator received a strange phone call.

On average, the operator receives about 300 calls a day, but there are not too many effective police information, only about 1 in 10 probability, and the rest are all kinds of strange situations. It's better during the day, there aren't many people who call indiscriminately, and once it gets to midnight, the demons start to dance, and all kinds of lonely, drunk, and mentally abnormal people will keep calling 110.

The operator said, "Hello, this is the 110 police service desk, what help do you need?" ”

The phone was dialed by a woman, and she lowered her voice and said, "Is there a Secretary Zhao in your Public Security Bureau?" ”

The operator said, "Hello, please." ”

The woman said: "You all have recorded your phone calls, I want to tell Secretary Zhao something." ”

The operator said, "What's the matter with you?" ”

The woman said, "So, I stole something, and now I will give it to you." ”

The operator said, "What is it?" ”

The woman said, "The steel plate on which the money is printed." ”

The operator asked, "Where did you steal it from?" ”

The woman said, "Bank." ”

The operator said, "I didn't understand, please repeat it." ”

The woman said, "I stole a steel plate from the bank to print money, and now I want to return it to you police." ”

The operator said, "Are you planning to turn yourself in?" Please let me know your exact location and contact details. ”

Toot beet, the phone hung up......

The news came suddenly, and the police officers who were busy with the burglary of the bank vault could not believe that the thieves had to return the banknote template. This is really nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it.

Who is the woman making the call?

How many people are there in the criminal gang that robbed the bank vault?

And in what way?

A series of problems were quickly resolved, and the police traced the phone number she was using at the time. Surprisingly, the call turned out to be from the landline of Secretary Zhao's office of the Public Security Bureau, which was borrowed by Hualong, where he and his two apprentices usually worked. The forensic technician conducted a detailed survey of the office, and the woman did not leave any traces, no fingerprints, no footprints, and no lost property.

Secretary Zhao said: "What a bold and reckless act! ”

The dragon said, "Interesting, this woman."

The thieves infiltrated the police station in the middle of the night and dialed 110 from the office phone. ”

Fat Tiger said: "She has broken into our interior, lying on the salary to taste the guts, the most dangerous place is the safest place." ”

"I noticed that the woman called 110 twice and said now. ”

"At that time, her tone was clearly that she had returned the template, and we would look to see where it was. ”

The eyes of the four of them invariably looked at the safe in the office, and after Secretary Zhao opened it with the key and password, everyone was stunned. The safe usually stores some important seals and confidential documents, but now there are two more rectangular steel plates, with front and back sides, you can see the fine intaglio engraving, the pattern is the same as the 100 yuan, which is exactly the banknote template that the police are looking for.

Fat Tiger said, "Wow, the money we spent was printed with this thing." ”

Slender Qiang said: "This thing can be said to be priceless. ”

"That's right, this thing can make you the richest man in the world, or it can destroy a country." ”

Secretary Zhao said: "We have cracked several cases of making and selling counterfeit money before, and some counterfeit money is even printed with hand-painted offset plates. ”

Thin Qiang said, "Why did the thieves return this thing?" ”

Fat Tiger said: "I think of the thief who stole the painting, and later returned the painting." ”

Hualong said: "They are scared, and if they continue to do this, they will be served sooner or later." I think the direction of the investigation is correct, the den of counterfeit money is in the temple, and our large-scale operation has scared them. Besides, they also printed a lot of money during this time, and they knew how to accept it when they saw it, so they returned the template in order to protect themselves, and they also wanted the police to let them go. ”

Secretary Zhao said: "Take advantage of the victory to pursue and wipe out this gang of criminals!" I was not afraid to come to my office. ”

"The female thief sneaked into this office in the middle of the night, which also meant to warn us. ”

Secretary Zhao said: "Warning? Threat? ”

"Yes, think about it, if she planted a time bomb, we would all be finished." ”

The surveillance probe of the Public Security Bureau photographed the figure of the woman, who was about 1.6 meters tall, weighed 100 pounds, and looked to be in her thirties. She wears a pair of jeans, a pair of black Nike sneakers, a black short-sleeved top, a hat with a ponytail running through the back hole of the hat, and a handbag. She found the house number of Secretary Zhao's office from the photo wall and signs in the lobby on the first floor. This office has a carpet at the door, but the other offices don't, so it's easy to find.

Cameras in the hallway caught her picking the lock.

She took something out of her bag, which technicians identified as tin foil lockpicking tools. In recent years, tin foil unlocking has replaced the previous unlocking method, the toughness of tin foil makes it deformed with the tooth flower of the lock tooth of the bullet lock in the lock body, and bite on the tooth flower, so it can quickly open the door to the devouring lock. Tin foil unlocking has been upgraded to the "fourth generation", and the tool is a magazine-sized rigid plastic box with more than a dozen key pieces and various handles, corresponding to different types of lockholes.

It only took more than ten seconds for the woman to open Secretary Zhao's office

The door of the office.

The police had no way of knowing how she opened the safe, she couldn't have known the code, the safe was intact, there was no sign of vandalism, the woman was very skilled in theft, and no evidence was left at the scene.

The magic is one foot high, the road is one foot high, and the police still found an important clue.

The woman was bold and didn't shy away from the surveillance probe, and this was because she was cleverly disguised.

The police repeatedly watched the surveillance footage and found that the woman's face was relatively blank, dull, and expressionless, and she was likely wearing a human skin mask when she committed the crime. This kind of human skin mask, which can be bought online, is made of medical silicone, has a high degree of simulation, and is not much different from a real person, and after wearing it, it becomes a different face.

Female, Disguise, Mask, Lockpicking, Office, Safe...... The police checked the keywords involved with the national case database, and a woman who was chased by the police online surfaced, this person's surname is Shui, named Yanzi, and her methods of crime are completely consistent with the woman in the video, and her age and physical characteristics are also the same.

After technical verification and case analysis, the police finally confirmed that the woman who appeared in Secretary Zhao's office was Shui Yanzi.

Water Swallow is also known as the "official thief" and "office thief", and some people even call her "Grand Thief Swallow".

In the past few years, it has committed crimes in seven provinces, including Henan, Shandong, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Hunan, Shanxi, and Anhui, and the theft sites involve more than a dozen local governments and public institution offices, and the amount of money involved is huge. The time of the crime is generally chosen after work in the evening, sometimes in broad daylight, during the lunch break. She wears a human skin mask to commit crimes, and will step on the spot in advance, first find the door number of the leader's office in the lobby on the first floor, open the door with a lockpicking tool, and then loot all the belongings.

The water swallows are very fruitful every time.

In the office of an official of a quarantine bureau, Swift stole 20 Chinese cigarettes, three boxes of cordyceps, and a Rolex watch.

In the office of an official of a certain education department, Shui Yanzi stole nearly 100 shopping cards, five gold and silver bricks, three pieces of jade, and a ruby necklace, with a total value of 160,000 yuan.

In the office of an official of a transportation department, the water swallow opened the safe and stole a large number of US dollars, Hong Kong dollars, famous cigarettes and wine, ginseng and bird's nest, antique calligraphy and paintings, and several sets of commemorative coins, worth more than one million. The official usually dresses modestly and rides a bicycle to work, giving the impression of being incorruptible. After Fǔ Bài was arrested for corruption, he confessed to the theft of the office.

For several years, the swallow was caught only once, but after the victim officials denied being stolen, the swallow was soon released.

She was very calm and not nervous when she committed the crime, and in her opinion, if there were a lot of gifts in the office, she would not dare to call the police even if someone bumped into her.

There are also many times, after the swallow unlocked, he found that the position card on the table was the director of the department, but in addition to the mountains of documents and a few pots of green plants in the house, there were no large piles of gifts. Once, she found a camp bed in an official's office, with cheap cigarettes in an ashtray and a common cup for drinking water, and she guessed that the official often stayed up late and worked overtime, so she left a few words on the desk calendar: You are really hard.
