Chapter 199: Unexpected diamond hiding place

He is strong, and it takes half an hour to pass through the sewer just now.

Hobbs is nearly 70, and the data shows that his legs are still a bit faulty.

Pulling a vehicle half-floating on the sewage and two tons of diamonds, he couldn't get out in less than an hour.

If the rest time is too long, it will take an hour and a half.

After arriving at the sewage treatment point, he must be very tired at this time.

Then take out the diamond bags from the kayak one by one, pull the kayak through two sluices, and move two tons of diamond bags.

A little bit reluctant in the middle, if he doesn't take a break, he may be exhausted here directly.

And the time consumed during this period may be longer than the time it takes to tow the ship out.

For at least 2-3 hours before and after, if Hobbs is still kayaking and taking diamonds into the wide channel.

He didn't have time to go home, clean up his odor, change his clothes, and wait for the people from the Diamond Group to notify him to return to the headquarters.

In other words, after dragging the kayak out of the sewage channel for 1-1.5 hours, he is very likely to sink the subpackaged diamonds directly into a reservoir more than two meters deep.

Except for specialized workers, no one will enter the sewage treatment reservoir nervously.

And just a little check, you can know when the workers will come to clean the sluice.

Besides, the time given by Hobbes to the Diamond Group is 48 hours, and the probability of being discovered by the workers in just two days is not high.

Hobbes, who does not need to carry two tons of diamonds back and forth by himself, not only saves a lot of energy and time.

As long as the kayak, which is not heavy, is dragged through the three sluices and allowed to drift out along the widening and deepening water currents, it can confuse the investigator.

Finally, the person who followed the kayak to look for it is likely to find that the boat has entered the Thames River, or the second sewage treatment point.

And then think that the robbers have already landed there.

After all, a few kilometers away from the headquarters of the Diamond Group, transporting the diamonds will be less conspicuous.

Even if someone sees it, a worker-like person carrying a canvas bag may not attract the attention of ordinary people.

If the tracker followed this point, there would be no clue in the end.

What Hobbes needed was only 48 hours. The diamond hunter was slightly diverted to investigate, and two days passed casually.

Therefore, it is speculated that the diamonds are probably in the two sewage sedimentation tanks.

Of course, if Hobbes had a helper, the diamonds could also be loaded and transported at the first sewage treatment point.

As soon as this idea appeared, he denied it.

Again, if Hobbes’ goal is money, it’s normal to take away diamonds, but his goal is not money, even diamonds are just tools.

In the movie, isn't Laura Quinn allowed to report to the Diamond Group to cleanse herself of suspicion as an accomplice?

That's right, Li Changheng once again made sure that he was right, that the diamond must be in the sewage sedimentation tank.

The continuously flowing sewage and the bags that are put in will be covered with filth in a short time.

Unless the pool is thoroughly cleaned, no one would have thought that such a dirty place would hide two tons of rough diamonds.

Even Li Changheng is still guessing in his heart that if the worst happens, Sinclair Insurance and Diamond Group will not pay the 100 million pounds.

Hobbs, who cannot get revenge, should come over by himself every ten days or half a month to help the workers who clean the sluice for free, and clear the sluice in advance.

It is also extremely difficult for anyone to accidentally find a diamond in the reservoir.

When the limelight passed and the diamonds were in hand for him, even if he didn't want the two tons of ordinary rough diamonds, he would have the money to hire someone to avenge him by just selling big and colored diamonds.

I don’t even want to cause tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of people to lose their jobs because of their own revenge.

Then just take the big diamond and the colored diamond, and then call the diamond company to tell the diamond company where the diamond is. He also has the money to disappear and hide in the dark to plan how to revenge again.

He even found a killer to kill Sinclair Barkley.

Thinking of this, Li Changheng sighed. This kind of old man shouldn't be a cleaner, but find him a think tank.

He just wanted to go back, but before turning around, he stopped forcibly, and then went on without any explanation.

After all, it was two tons of rough diamonds. He probably didn't even know English, and he was even more unfamiliar with him. Zhang Tianzhi, who could not be stolen in a short period of time, was the one who could really believe it at this time.

The only pity is that since the diamond is hidden in a pool of three meters below, unless it is salvaged, it will be difficult to pick out the colored diamond from the diamond and hide it by yourself.

To be honest, so many diamonds are missing one or two hundred fancy colored diamonds, no one will notice at all.

He shook his head regretfully, and more than an hour later, I saw the second sewage treatment point far away.

This time, Li Changheng only checked the neighborhood for a few minutes, and said, "The kayak didn't continue along the sewer and went forward. This group of people should have left here and said."

After speaking, he said to Steven, "Is there anyone in Your Majesty Philip's guard, or Charles's guard?"

Steven was taken aback for a moment, then his eyes were clear and nodded, "I'm going to call someone, but if we find clues on the ground, how can I notify you?"

"Before 7 o'clock, I will stay in the Diamond Group, and then I will definitely stay at my home on Garden Street."

After Li Changheng finished speaking, he said jokingly, "By the way, ask your Majesty Philip, what position and rank did he give me in the King's Guards."

"That must be at least the major," Steven said with a smile. "Although your majesty's guards have only 120 members, the specifications are very high, and the appointment of personnel is completely determined by your majesty. It is not subject to any interference from the outside world and does not protect the royal family. Any responsibilities and tasks other than those outside.”

It was a joke. By the way, from Steven’s expression and eyes, try to see if he really belongs to a special organization.

Unexpectedly, I tried it out. I heard that the Guards didn't care about the outside world and were not led by anyone other than Philip. Li Changheng really wanted to take the opportunity to get closer to the old man.

"Bangwei told His Majesty Philip that I was only responsible for protecting him close when he went on tour, and I was completely free at other times.

Otherwise, don't give me a certificate."

"Understood, SIR", Steve took a step back, took off his helmet and gloves after the salute, and walked up the steps to make a phone call.

Li Changheng put his helmet and flashlight in the corner of the wall, but did not take off his gloves while listening to the happy Andrew, muttering non-stop, while taking him and Zhang Tianzhi to the ground quickly.

On the pretext of wanting to wash, change clothes, and make an appointment with Andrew at the diamond group building at 4 o'clock, watching him take a taxi home, Li Changheng immediately took Zhang Tianzhi to the first sewage treatment point.

Use a long pole net set specially used to catch leaves and the like, and go down into the first sewage sedimentation tank.

Within a few minutes, at the place closest to the first sluice, it was obvious that something was in the water.

However, the dirty sewage that was originally turbid became even turbid when he stirred it, so you don't even want to see what it is underwater.

Zhang Tianzhi also understood at this time, "Boss, should I go into the water and have a look?"

"Don't", Li Changheng shook his head without thinking, "You are my personal bodyguard, I don't want a capable person like you to do this kind of dirty work."

Zhang Tianzhi immediately showed his grateful eyes, and then listened to Li Changheng smiled and said, "Anyway, these diamonds are not ours, Brother Zhi, give me a flying knife and your tie."

Zhang Tianzhi untied his tie and saw Li Changheng wearing rubber gloves, strapping a flying knife to the fence of the long pole, and suddenly understood what he wanted to do.

Using a flying knife to pierce Li Changheng down fiercely, he felt it, like it was stuck in sand or small gravel.

Use the fence to shake it up and down, and then turn it around a few times to let the fence entangle itself.

After feeling how he could entangle some diamonds, Li Changheng quickly picked up the long rod and saw some small diamonds sporadically appearing in the entangled nylon mesh.

As for more diamonds that were taken up and sinking into the water, he didn't care about it.

Damn Hobbs, let you be cunning, and you won't be broken by the little master in the end.

After confirming the diamonds, shake all the diamonds on the Internet into the water.

I stood there and waited for more than ten minutes, making sure to stand and look down, there would be no flashes of rough diamonds, and then I left here with peace of mind.

Li Changheng took Zhang Tianzhi to find a handmade clothing store, bought two sets of ready-made clothes and leather shoes, went to the hotel to wash, and met with Andrew at 4 pm to enter the headquarters of the Diamond Group again.

As soon as I saw Oliver Aston, who was quickly greeted by someone's notice, Li Changheng's first sentence was, "Let me send you three meals and coffee."

As soon as the three of them didn't even eat lunch~lightnovelpub.net~ Oliver hurriedly asked to make arrangements, and dragged him to the empty part of the hall.

He whispered with excitement, "I didn't expect you to count it. The head of newspaper layout of the London Evening News called me half an hour ago and said.

The editor-in-chief of the evening paper handed him a secret letter, requesting that it not be opened before typesetting and printing began at 4 o'clock.

Then he, who had doubts in his heart, quietly opened it and read it, and found that it was news related to us, so he called me the first time. "

Li Changheng frowned in confusion, and then thought of something and asked, "Are you the secret shareholders of the Evening News?

Or is it that the head of newspaper layout is yours? "

"Hey", Oliver smiled strangely, raised his head and looked around, and saw that except for Zhang Tianzhi standing two meters away, even Andrew was five or six meters away.

Then he whispered, "We are friends, Henry, I won't hide it from you."

"While the diamond industry is highly profitable, it also costs a lot to keep profits.

Not only the 75% of the evening paper’s shares are controlled by more than a dozen branch companies or cooperative companies.

The ten largest newspapers in London more or less have our shares and relationships.

In addition to the three newspapers controlled by large groups, the other seven newspapers are in charge of typesetting.

Either it is our people directly, or they are paid 6000 pounds a year to inform us of any diamond-related news content. "

Li Changheng's eyes narrowed instantly.

He had been thinking of the Diamond Group, but now he has a reason that must be controlled, and at least it is also a reason to influence the Diamond Group.
