Mr. Smith recounts: "I am a collector, and collecting precious treasures from all over the world is my greatest hobby in my spare time. For this reason, I have a huge exhibition hall built in my house dedicated to my most precious treasures. As I said earlier, time is tight, so I won't mention the priceless treasures. All you need to know is that these treasures are worth far more than you can imagine. ”

"With so many treasures, you can imagine that of course I am more careful than careful. My showroom has the whole city, no, I should say that it is also the best protection in the country. Whenever a company launches a new security system, I update the security system in my showroom as soon as possible, which is my safest fortress. I have very specific protective measures for each of the exhibits and collections inside, so every time a new treasure is delivered, I have to ask someone to design new security measures for it. During this time, my treasures will be transported to my company, the building where I work, and stored temporarily. ”

After a pause, he continued: "Of course, the precautions in my company are not on the same level as my most precious exhibition hall, but since I often have to treat the company as a transit point for every new treasure, I have also designed a special vault in the company, and I can guarantee that its security level is also national. ”

Roy shrugged disapprovingly, "And yet it was stolen." ”

Mr. Smith looked ugly and said, "Yes, that's exactly what I'm asking you to look into." ”

"Be specific."

Mr. Smith said: "Last night, the plane responsible for transporting the 'Eye of Hevestos' arrived at the airport at nine o'clock, and I went to pick it up myself. My company has been under full martial law since 9 o'clock, and anyone who does not have a company ID card or does not have enough authority is not allowed to enter after 9 o'clock, and it is not allowed to leave at will. The 'Eye of Heviestus' arrived at the company around ten o'clock. We have written documents about the detailed arrangements for that night, and I have brought a copy of the document with me today. ”

At this point, the well-trained secretary cooperated and placed an earthy yellow document bag on the table.

Roy took out the documents inside and roughly scanned them. Mr. Smith said, "We have a very limited amount of time, so we will have to ask Mr. Green to go down and study it more carefully." ”

Roy didn't seem to hear it, and continued to flip through and asked coldly, "This David Milanch seems to have a lot of authority, huh?" ”

Mr. Smith nodded, "Yes, David is my security chief. I often come back from shipping my collections, but sometimes I'm too busy with business to keep an eye on it myself, and David can do it all for me. He's a very good guy to work on. ”

"Your security chief?" Roy wondered, "Even so, he has more authority, right?" I note that he is responsible for the deployment and distribution of personnel; He is one of the few who has the right to inquire about the exact nature and value of the treasure you are transporting. And his ID permission can be almost only under your own permission. ”

"And what wasn't written above, he still has spare keys for many sensitive areas in the company." Smith said disapprerovingly, "Since I have given him such a large amount of authority, the only thing that means is that I trust him, Mr. Green." We've been friends since we were kids, he's been in my company for more than a decade, and he's had countless chances to steal my collection if he's trying to do something wrong, but he's never had the slightest problem. I think I can believe that this accident had nothing to do with him. After the theft of the gem, he was so busy that he didn't even leave the company until now, almost more anxious than I was. ”

"I'm afraid this will have to be determined after we have personally met this gentleman." After Roy finished speaking, he held his chin and pondered for a long time, and then said, "Although your paper information is quite helpful, the conclusions obtained on paper are still limited, and I must go there myself." I'm available right now, if it's appropriate. ”

"Of course, anytime." Mr. Smith nodded, "But I'm afraid I have other things to deal with, and I can't personally accompany the investigation." But my secretary can accompany me the whole time, and I can ask him if I have any questions. ”

Roy followed the two visitors to the Smith Enterprise, the crime scene of the case. The entrepreneur did seem to be busy, and hurriedly checked the rest of the itinerary with his secretary before leaving. Roy, on the other hand, was led by this secretary to understand the situation within the company.

Roy had learned from the paper that the temporary vault in Smith's company was repaired on the twenty-fifth floor, and it was in the vault on the twenty-fifth floor that the "Eye of Hevestos" was stolen last night. But when Mr. Smith's secretary asked if he wanted to go to the scene first, Roy first asked about the location of the monitoring center.

The center of the building's surveillance system is on the twenty-second floor, and according to a report in a document brought by Mr. Smith, there appears to have been a fifteen-second monitoring failure before the gem was stolen.

Roy came to the monitoring center and took a look around and asked, "Can the system here be hacked remotely?" ”

"I'm afraid it won't work." The secretary replied, "Our firewall is top-notch. Although I dare not say that it is absolutely safe, at least we can detect the hacking. ”

"Fifteen seconds," Roy said as if to himself, "then it could only be that someone came to this position and turned off the system." But why is it only closed for fifteen seconds? Do you think fifteen seconds is more than enough time to commit a crime? ”

"I probably know that, too." "Mr. Smith seems to have mentioned that unless he has access to his ID card, no one else, including Security Director David Milanch, can only turn off surveillance for a maximum of fifteen seconds. ”

"That's right." Roy thought for a moment and then said, "Then there's nothing to see here." ”

"Need me to take you to the site?"

"No, not yet." Roy said, "Now I want to meet that Mr. David." ”

So the secretary took him by elevator to the eighteenth floor, David Milanch's office.

David Milanch is a rather stout man, with broad shoulders and a straight waist, and he looks very energetic in his badge-wearing uniform. It's just that his handsome face clearly left a sleepless tiredness, and it seems that last night's events have also made him haggard and uneasy.

The secretary stepped forward and introduced: "This is the detective consultant of the GCPD, Mr. Roy Green, and Mr. Smith has come to consult on last night's case. ”

David tried his best to hold back his sleepiness and nodded kindly: "Hello, Mr. Green. ”

Unexpectedly, Roy said unceremoniously: "Say, who is she?" ”
