Chapter 1097: Prove the money is yours first

At the same time, combining the information received by Barney and the account of Chief McKenna, who is already the police chief of Uptown, Richard found a suspicious backpack and reported it to the two police officers who were watching the park party.

It is strongly required that the on-site police officers, in accordance with the special event handling procedures of the announcement occasion, find special police officers with experience in handling bombs for inspection.

The police did not dare to evacuate the crowd until it was determined that the three tubular objects in the suspicious backpack were likely bombs.

This did give the police and security guards 2 or 3 minutes to evacuate the crowd. After the explosion, only 2 people were killed and many people were seriously injured, and hundreds of people were slightly injured.

With so many doubts combined, let alone Li Changheng, the police and the FBI will definitely suspect Richard.

Of course, if there is no evidence, the police and the FBI will only investigate secretly.

After all, law enforcement agencies are more afraid of the media than the truth.

If it were known to the outside world, a good man who was called a hero by the media and hundreds of ordinary people who were rescued by Richard was actually under investigation by the FBI and the police.

Then the FBI and the police will definitely be devastated by the media and the whole society.

And Li Changheng soon realized that if there was a real problem with the bombing, the film Roman Holiday might not have to change the release date.

But when he thought that it would take a night, or a day or two to solve the case, Li Changheng soon had a headache.

However, people can start the entire New York underground world and search for the murderer who made the phone call.

Just as he was thinking of releasing a mission and using money to buy news, he heard an urgent cry for help from one of the four walkie-talkies with different channels that Barney had placed on the long table.

"Please, please, I'm Sheriff Stein of the Midtown Police Department. I was just hit by a machine gun fire at the Aoki Building at 193 Financial Street. I'm asking for support, asking for support."

Li Changheng stood up abruptly. If he remembered correctly, if the convoy wanted to go back to the Long Island Manor just now, the nearest way was to take the Queensborough Bridge, and No. 193 was on the main street on the way.

If he had just passed through, someone would be shooting machine guns on both sides of the road, and even heavy weapons such as rocket launchers. With the bulletproof level of the Rolls-Royce bulletproof car he was riding in, he would definitely not be able to withstand the bombardment of the rocket launchers.

Fake, Li Changheng lifted the wine glass in his hand and smashed it on the ground, and Annie exclaimed in surprise.

Barney and the trenches also reacted. Without waiting for Li Changheng's order, they each picked up the walkie-talkie and began to order the 24 members of the Knight Shield and the DEA's two assault combat groups to rush to Midtown in full armor.

Then the four armed helicopters in the sky started, two rushed back to the base to refuel, and the other two rushed to No. 193 to check the situation.

Seeing this, Li Changheng, who was comforting Annie in his arms, calmed down a little, thought for a while in silence, picked up the phone next to the sofa and called the FBI New York Branch.

The Aoki Building on Financial Street in Midtown District, tonight marks the 5th anniversary of the Aoki family's establishment of an overseas investment company in the United States.

Not only all the middle and senior management of the investment company attended the celebration reception, but even Kenichi Aoki, the head of the family, also rushed over from the island country.

Aoki Fund is an investment company specially established for the wealthy in the island country. With more and more wealthy people in the island country, they hope to buy property and manage their wealth in the United States.

The company has not achieved much in terms of investment business.

However, it unexpectedly became the island country's largest overseas fund management company in the United States.

Not only does it manage a large number of properties in the United States of more than 1,100 wealthy islanders, and more than $2 billion in wealth management funds, the company has also established stable financial businesses with banks such as Citi and Morgan Stanley.

Unexpectedly, someone dared to celebrate the night in the company and eyed the bearer bonds in their hands.

After hearing about the accident at the Aoki Building, Citi's vice president, Tyler Garnell, drove over immediately after learning that Li Changheng was staying at the hotel.

Let Li Changheng soon learn that Aoki has just received a full $600 million from Citigroup, a 5% annual interest bond paid at sight.

For this business, Citigroup received a deposit worth 600 million yuan early in the morning. After all, Citigroup must have received 600 million yuan in cash directly from Aoki Group or obtained a guarantee from an insurance company to issue this bond.

If the bonds disappeared or were destroyed, it would amount to an unclaimed book wealth of $600 million on Citi's books.

But although the legal problem is not big, it does not mean that the bank really dares to swallow the money.

At least the reputational blow will make Citi, whose market value has exceeded 20 billion, lose far more than the 600 million US dollars in the stock market and financial business.

So Taylor's intention is very clear, destroy all paper bond certificates before the robbers stole the $600 million in bonds.

After the negotiation with the Aoki Group and the insurance company, not only did Citi take the initiative, but they could also bite down at least 10% of the funds as a handling fee.

There is no need to worry that the 600 million bonds issued by Citi will be used as a laundering tool for black money such as arms and flour.

Of course, if the bond disappears, then the loss is Aoki Group, and Citi only needs to pay the interest and repay the principal when the bond matures.

Taylor actually hoped that he would be able to **** those 600, each with a bearer bond of $1 million.

Even if this batch of bonds wants to be cashed into cash, it still needs someone to help wash it, but when it finally arrives, it will definitely exceed 200,000 to 300 million US dollars.

If you are willing to wait a few years, or use a dozen or twenty years to exchange a little bit, 500 million will be no problem when you get it.

After all, Aoki applied for these bearer bonds for the island nation's rich, and he didn't want the outside world to know whose hands the bonds ended up in.

That is to say, when the bonds flowed out of Citi, Citi itself did not register who the bonds belonged to.

Even if the Aoki Group said that the lost bonds belonged to them, the law enforcement agency knew that the bonds were robbed~lightnovelpub.net~, but Aoki couldn't produce evidence that the bonds belonged to them.

The only reason robbers need a wash is simply for fear of being tracked down the bond by law enforcement agencies and caught.

If the bonds are acquired by financial institutions such as brokerages or investment banks, and they are sold after a year or a half, they say the bonds are theirs, and it is useless for the police to come.

And if Li Changheng got it, he could even sell the 600 million bonds at a price of 800 to 900 million US dollars, and still pay in cash.

Because the bearer bond itself is a tool used by money laundering forces to make money.

At the same time, this is also the importance of channels and relationships.

When Taylor saw Li Changheng's eyes lit up, his heart sank immediately.

Busy persuaded him to stop, "Boss, this batch of bonds has a number. And even if someone dares to take the bond to us to pay the principal and interest when the bond matures, but after the money is obtained, those people will definitely be arrested by the FBI and other agencies. stare.

And this batch of bonds was issued by Citi, and you are Citi's largest,,,. "
