Chapter 8: Robbery
"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. 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.
Today, I'm going to start the action I've been planning for a long time, yes, today.
In the morning, at 10:46, I put on my hood, got out of the car, and strode into the bank hall.
Then two fireworks and thunderbolt transformation devices were thrown, and suddenly the smoke in the business hall made a huge explosion sound, and the smoke rose.
"Don't move! Get down for me. I shouted.
I quickly pointed the gun at the female staff member's head, "Don't move, I'll kill you if you move!" "I pretended to be fierce.
She froze for a moment, the others froze, and the aunts and uncles were so frightened that they didn't dare to move.
"Get down on my stomach, don't speak, and take out the black suitcase for me, or I'll kill her." I pointed at her, shouted to the people inside, then grabbed her by the neck and moved towards the side door.
The people inside were too frightened to move. "Hurry up, take it out for me, you, it's you, take it out for me." I shouted at one of the female staff inside. She shivered with fright, but at my urging, she lifted the box anyway.
At this time, I saw a bundle of brand new bills on the counter, "Take that one out!" Hurry up! Take it out! "I want to take it with my hand.
Seeing that I strangled the neck of the female employee and pointed a gun at her head, the people inside were very obedient. The security guards at the gate stood there, not daring to move, they were all frightened by my initial explosion. I don't know what's going on outside the door, there are probably a lot of people watching, I'm a little nervous, I don't have too much energy to observe the situation outside the door, I just want to get the box quickly and quickly flee the scene. And the cash truck will be arriving soon, and I have to allow enough time to evacuate or I'll be confronted by the SWAT on the bus.
"Hurry up! Hurry up for me! Or I'll kill her!" "I was getting more and more ferocious, and my shouts were getting louder and louder.
Finally, I got the black metal box, I let go of the female employees, told them to lie down, tried to lift the metal box, although it was not as heavy as I thought, but it was still not light, I took the bundle of money and put it in the backpack pocket. When I saw that they were all lying down, I didn't kidnap the female employee again, but pointed the gun at the security guard and signaled him not to move.
I didn't say another word, knowing that my time was running out, I rushed to the car outside the door with my suitcase. Soon, I completed the most crucial part of the plan, I got the box and fled back to the car. Immediately after that, I started the escape plan, and it was 10:55 a.m., and I completed the entire robbery operation in less than 8 minutes. At this point, I became very frightened and fled the scene, surrounded by people.
I followed a planned escape route to evacuate the scene, and ended up in a dilapidated day rental house. I finally had time to take a closer look at this mysterious black box. The black box is delicate and heavy, and although there is no such thing as a very advanced combination lock, it is still more difficult to open it than I thought. I kept banging and prying, and after a few hours, I was almost exhausted.
I sat on the ground and thought back to the day when I had done such a thing, I had robbed a bank, I had attacked a business hall, I had taken hostages. I've never done anything illegal in my life, so what's wrong with me now? I began to feel a little annoyed, a little regretful, and the robbery brought me more fear and uneasiness, but there was little excitement and gain. Can I really get money like this? It took me more than a dozen days just to get away with a few hours, even though time didn't mean much to me anymore.
It was getting late, and I finally opened the black box. However, something unexpected happened.
"What? What is it? Why is this happening? I shouted.
The box was not filled with gold bars, nor cash, but with a box of bills. These bills are important to the bank, but for me these are nothing more than a pile of waste paper, and the box that doesn't even contain them is worth much. I was completely spread on the floor, and my heart was almost crumbling.
It was already dark, and I had to leave, so I left them here, but I still had the handful of cash in my backpack, a brand new banknote, almost 40,000 dollars. I grabbed my backpack and walked to the small bar.
"Zhao Yuqi? Are you in a bar? "I got through the phone number I left that day, and it didn't seem to be a local number. I wonder how much I hold on to her.
"Who are you?" The other side of the phone asked in surprise.
"You don't need to know who I am, I'll come to you, wait for me there." I hung up the phone and walked to the small bar. The neon signs exude the smell of desire, and the shadows have color against the backdrop of colored lights. I looked up, and it said "Come back to the bar", but it was the first time I noticed its exact name, though I could tell where it was. It's a little bar, the singer playing the guitar is singing the adapted song, the lighting is a little dim, but it's not so restless.
"Zhao Yuqi, we meet again." I found her.
"Who are you? I don't know you. She looked up at me, puzzled.
"We've seen it before, you may not remember, or I would have had your phone." I smiled and said, "Would you like to have something together?" ”
"Okay, let's have a drink together." She accepted my invitation.
It was still the bottle of foreign wine, and the waiter came to me to pay, and I took out the brand new banknote, took 10,000 yuan from it, and threw it to him. "What more?" I asked her again, and she was already shocked by my behavior. Then I counted all the 10,000 dollars, although there wasn't much.
"Are you a bartender? Or is it a business? I asked her with a smile, put down the glass in my hand, and touched the money on the table.
"What are you talking about? I'm not a bartender, and I'm not in business, I'm just out to play. She looked a little anxious.
"Isn't it the bartender going to order such an expensive wine as soon as it comes? With a stranger. I laughed again.
"What's the matter, this isn't too expensive, you're so rich." She clearly wanted to hide something.
"I don't have any money, all my money is here, I robbed the bank in the morning." I smiled.
"What? Rob... Robbing a bank? She was surprised.
"yes, I robbed the bank. You can take out your phone and take a look at today's news, although I didn't watch it, but I guess I'm making headlines. "I don't know if I'm showing off or being stupid.
"Your money is all new serial numbers." She looked a little scared and said with a slurrel.
"yes, that's the bank's money." I scanned around, and the waiter who had just paid the bill seemed to be muttering something to the others.
Zhao Yuqi took out her mobile phone and handed it to me, looking very scared.
"This morning, a man wearing a black shirt, blue jeans, and a black backpack robbed the business hall of XXX Bank and robbed a huge amount of cash, which the bank said was about 10 million worth of cash, gold and bills. The man then fled in a white car, which has now been found, and the police have issued a wanted warrant offering a reward of 100,000 for valuable clues. Citizens are advised to be careful, the man may have a weapon of high lethality concealed on his body. So says the mobile news.
"There are 10 million, all of them are waste paper, so I took the 40,000 yuan." I was a little annoyed when I saw the news, explained.
Zhao Yuqi stopped talking, her hands trembled a little, I turned my head, and the waiter who had just collected the money seemed to be gone.
I felt that something was wrong, "You can take this money, it's useless for me to take it, I originally wanted to take this money for you to accompany me, but I guess it's no fun again." I said to her.
"Come on, let's talk again, how old are you?" I asked her.
"24 years old... She was a little scared, but probably because she was scared and didn't refuse my question.
"Are you really a bartender?" I asked her.
"I... I'm not a bartender, I'm from City B to City C to play, I'm really here to play, I'm really not a bartender. She explained, as if she was really scared.
"Really? Then why do you order such expensive wine? I asked her again.
"I, I also have money on me, and I didn't say I wanted you to pay, but the waiter here looked for you, and you paid again... I'm really not a wine trust. Then she pulled out her bag and pulled out a bank card.
"Really, I'm rich, I'm not a bartender." She went on to explain.
Am I really wrong, but I remember the last time she asked me for a drink, and she didn't say she paid. I'm a little confused, but I have a feeling that maybe I'm wrong, so why would she ask me for a drink, is she talking to me?
"Don't move, you're arrested!" At this moment, I heard a voice behind me, and then it seemed that something hard was pressing against me, and I came back to my senses, whether I had been caught.
I raised my hand and was quickly pushed to the ground, and then rushed in a few heavily armed SWAT officers, and the people around me didn't understand what was going on, while Zhao Yuqi stood up in fright and stayed away. I did get arrested, I was put in a police car and driven to the police station.
"Name, age" I couldn't open my eyes from the two huge bright lights, and I was taken to the interrogation room, my hands tightly cuffed, and the wounds I had just been beaten on the road were still faintly painful.
"Liu Yitian, 28 years old." I replied.
"Did you do the robbery in the XXX bank hall? What was your motive for committing the crime? What was your crime? Say it. ”
"Yes, I did it." I replied.
"Why do you do that?"
"Can you ask what time it is?" I asked the police.
"Tell me, what is your motive for committing the crime? What was your crime? "No one answered my question.
"I just want money, I was really wrong, I won't do anything like this again." When I think back to this day, I am not a bad person, I don't want to be a bad person, I really didn't get any benefit from today's actions, any psychological comfort or any sense of accomplishment, only fear and insecurity, and constant punishment.
"I'm a prisoner of time, you can't lock me up, but I won't do anything like this again." I said again.
"What was your motive for committing the crime? What was your crime? "No one understood what I said, and no one paid attention to me.
"After what else, you will spend time in prison in the future, confess leniently, resist strictly!" The officers were stern.
Yes, I may really spend it in the cage in the future, but it is the cage of time, where I have no money, no power, no name, not even love, I have nothing, I am locked in this most ordinary day, so ordinary that I don't know what to do, how I wish I could get out of this cage, even if I try and work hard many times.
"What was your motive for committing the crime? What was your crime? The officer was still repeating their words.
I looked up, stared at the glaring lights, and gradually lost consciousness; Gradually, I fell into a deep sleep.
