Chapter 7: The Black Box
"Ding Ding Ding, Ding Ding Ding", at 7:30 in the morning, the mobile phone next to the pillow rang on time.
"Meow... Meow... Meow..."The cat Xiaoqi heard the alarm bell and came to the bedroom door and called me gently. I woke up again, I sat up abruptly from my bed, and there was no drunkenness or discomfort left from last night's hangover. The key problem was that I didn't go home last night, but fell asleep in a chair by the river, but the next day I went back to my bed and started all over again.
Wednesday, August 16th, 2017, it was sunny, the morning sun was still orange, the sky was still clear, the clouds were still floating, the pigeons on the roof were still circling the house in the distance, and the wind was still blowing in my hair. I looked out the window, thinking back to everything from yesterday, wondering where that 100 million lottery ticket ended up and whether anyone would actually get the prize.
I needed to try something new, I wanted to do something more exciting, and I really decided to rob the bank, which seems to be the most exciting thing I can think of right now, and the fastest way to get a huge amount of money.
I came to the door of one of the largest banks in City C, I thought there would be an underground vault in it, so I opened a room in the hotel opposite the bank and watched it with a telescope for a day, recording every move of the bank.
At 1:07 p.m. on August 16, 2017, a huge cash truck will drive into the bank through the side door of the bank, and then stop outside a small door on the side, and two heavily armed SWAT officers will get out of the car and stand in the left and right directions of the trunk, one of them holding a Type 95 assault rifle and the other holding a shotgun; Then, the driver will get out of the car, open the back door, and two more people will come out of the trunk, one of them holding a Type 95 assault rifle, and the other carrying a black metal box, the box is not very large, but it can be seen that it is very guarded. I speculate that this chest may have something like gold bricks, and it should be a special gold reserve item, otherwise it wouldn't have such a high guard level. Judging by the actions of the people who carried the boxes, the boxes were not light. The driver and the person carrying the box should be a bank staff member, in addition to 3 armed special police,
I think real money will always be more attractive than a blank check for 100 million. But the question is, with my ability, how can I get this mysterious and valuable box in the hands of 3 heavily armed SWAT officers. A hard grab is definitely impossible, and I will most likely be killed directly. I may not even be able to get through the side door of the bank and be pushed to the ground by the security guard at the door.
Well, I should have thought of something else, but fortunately I have time. After the big Mercedes-Benz cash truck left the bank, I drove my rented car and continued to track it, recording the entire driving track. Eventually, I followed them outside the compound of their cash truck, where it turned out to be parked.
Early the next morning, I came to the compound of the cash truck company and waited for the cash truck to come out. I think the cash truck must have come out of here first, then to receive the goods, and finally to transport the goods. Sure enough, at ten o'clock in the morning, the cash truck drove out of the company compound, and I began to follow it.
At 11:10 a.m., the cash truck arrives outside the door of a small bank, and then the bank worker in the box will come out with a black metal box, get into the box after a simple handover, and then drive away. At noon, due to traffic jams, the cash truck drove for an hour and a half to arrive at the largest bank in City C, and the distance between them was not long, and they did not get off the bus for lunch in the middle.
I seem to have a breakthrough. On the third day, I went to the small bank office where the black metal box was located early in the morning, and I searched for the whereabouts of the black metal box. If I can find any flaws, it will be at least much more reliable than my direct confrontation with three armed SWAT officers.
I found it, and at half past ten in the morning, the bank clerk lifted the black metal box from the back room, placed it on the floor behind the front desk, and then returned to the back room, where the black metal box was unattended. It's one thing to be left unattended, but to get that black metal box, I need to get into the front desk of the bank, which doesn't seem to have the trick. There are five staff members at the front desk of the bank, four women and one man, of whom three are women and one male are performing business services, and the other is standing between two female staff. There is at least one male staff member in the Backrooms, the rest are unknown.
There is a security guard about 50 years old at the door, who is supposed to be a temporary worker, and this kind of small business hall is basically at this level. There are eight people in the bank who handle business, all of them are some aunts and uncles. There are a lot of cameras in the bank, but I care about so many cameras, as long as I can grab the black metal box and escape, by the time they analyze my appearance, it will probably be the next day. It should be noted that at 10:45 a.m., the female bank employee standing opened the side door of the front desk at the signal of the security guard at the door, and came out of it to explain a certain product of the bank to an aunt.
I planned an escape route, my plan was to start the operation at 10:46 in the morning, first release a few fireworks and bombs, and then rob with a replica pistol, directly hijack the female employee, and then threaten to hand over the black metal box inside to me, and then, I will hijack the female employee until I rented a car, the license plate has been covered by me, and then I released the female hostage, drove away, entered a nearby alley and abandoned the car to escape, and then arrived at a rented day rental house that did not require ID cards. After unpacking, I will use my black backpack to remove the gold bars inside, at which point I will go home and hide until the evening, I will go to the bar with my backpack on my back, hahaha.
In order to make the plan successful, I stayed in the business hall for another 3 days, recorded every detail there, spent one day buying all the equipment to plan the route, and then conducted a 5-day drill at home, and I took Xiaoqi as a hostage to rehearse the specific details. The day before I started the operation, I squatted in the business hall again and finally confirmed the plan of action.
After ten days of preparation, oh no, ten days of preparation, I completed the plan of action and enriched all the details of the operation, and after no less than twenty rehearsals, I believe that the reliability of my action has been very high, everything is ready, only the east wind is owed. No, not even the east wind.
It was the first robbery in my life, the first time I broke the law, the first time I did such a terrible and exciting thing, I really couldn't imagine that I would become like this. Am I getting revenge or escaping or enjoying it, and I've gotten used to it since I was locked in on August 16th. In a world that is constantly rebooting, everyone is drunk and I am sober, I don't have to pay anything for what I did, I don't need to be upset about my mistakes, it's just a matter of starting all over again. If it doesn't work once, it can be twice, if it doesn't work twice, it can be three times, and if it doesn't work ten times, I have other ways.
The night before the robbery, I talked to my parents on the phone for a long time, and my parents were a little strange, but I was actually just because I was too lonely. Now I don't even go to the company anymore, I even cut off contact with them and turn off my mobile phone, although it seems to them that it is just a day, but for me, half a month has passed.
Well, tomorrow, tomorrow to get into action, to start my craziest action.
