Start with a Cat and Mouse Game

Chapter 212: Reveal the answer

Considering that you want to copy surveillance images, you not only need 8 sets of film-making equipment, but you also need someone to keep an eye on the equipment.

Moreover, the cost of a copy film like a cine film is 1,600 pounds a day, and you have to change the film every half an hour.

In one year, the money spent on film alone would cost 584,000 pounds.

What's more troublesome is that film and photography equipment is used for a long time all year round, and it is easy to catch fire.

If you add a large number of films that catch fire and burn extremely fast, the probability of a fire in the building will be astonishing.

The board of directors rejected this plan without even considering it.

Old Aston gave his son Oliver a soothing look, and then asked Li Changheng, "How did Hobbes know the vault code?"

Li Changheng pretended to be hesitant about telling the information, and was silent for a while.

Then he said, "My guy was at Hobbs's house and found a notebook with a large number of six-digit passwords.

And in that notebook, I found that the first time these six digits appeared was 27 months ago, and the end time was June 19 this year, which is three months ago.

Therefore, I guess Hobbes used his identity as a cleaner to accidentally discover where Lord Aston hid the code.

But he did not steal directly like ordinary thieves.

In other words, he didn't dare to steal diamonds at first, but just opened the vault curiously.

Then it took a long time to start stealing some diamonds in small quantities.

As more and more diamonds are stolen, his courage is getting bigger and bigger, since he has begun to plan how to steal all the diamonds.

After listening, the people present nodded.

But Old Aston frowned and looked at the ceiling blankly and muttered, "Three months ago? Three months ago?"

Old Aston frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly hit the desk with a fist.

When everyone saw the old Aston hit the desk with a punch, they suddenly understood that the old man should know what was going on.

Sitting down on the loose boss chair decadently, old Aston was full of regret in his eyes.

"In the past few years, I sometimes hid the password slips in the gaps in the drawers of the desk. It is indeed possible that the cleaner may accidentally discover the passwords."

After speaking, Old Aston looked at Li Changheng and said, "But three months ago, I was recuperating at home for half a month because of illness, and then I used to lock the password slip in the safe of the manor. That's how the cleaner knew. of?"

Li Changheng curled his lips, "Lord Aston, I don't think you occasionally hide your password in a gap in a drawer.

It was hidden for two full years, otherwise there would not be so many cipher numbers in Hobbes’ notebook.”

Lord Aston blushed and smiled awkwardly.

Li Changheng then continued, "Since Hobbes recorded the password for two years, suddenly the password was suddenly not found one day.

I think maybe this is the reason why he really made up his mind to steal all the diamonds."

Everyone thought for a while, and then nodded.

Li Changheng continued, "People have the inertia of thinking. If the password set by Lord Aston is only a few times, no one can guess it.

But after more than two years, maybe a lot of passwords have been used before, but some specific numbers, the Lord may have used it many times unconsciously.

Hobbs has two full years of password data, plus the monitoring was installed only a week ago, which means that he has three months of night to test the password on the vault door without being monitored.

Then just the night before, I guessed the password correctly. "

When everyone heard it, they believed and thought about it with suspicion.

And Li Changheng himself knew that this was all a lie. Although Hobbes was careful and well-informed, he was not a mathematician, a data engineer, or a special agent.

But just an ordinary person who has been wandering about revenge and not revenge for more than ten years, and guards himself.

Even if I wrote down the passwords for more than two years, it was impossible to calculate the connection between the passwords and guess the passwords.

Otherwise, he would not pull Laura Quinn, who was about to be fired, to steal the password from the old Aston's manor.

What Old Aston was even more unexpected was that although his sons Oliver Aston and Laura Quinn did not have the kind of relationship as a couple, the relationship between the two was very ambiguous.

Perhaps the old man didn't emphasize the noble daughter-in-law so much, Quinn might already be his daughter-in-law.

Quinn, who has been to Aston Manor many times in the past ten years, not only knows where the old Aston’s study is, but even where his safe is hidden.

And Quinn, who graduated from Oxford University, can be promoted to the managerial level in a large male-dominated or even completely dominated group. It is not a pretty silly and sweet-looking person.

Just a phone call to the group and the secretary handed in the backlog of orders yesterday, which made the treasury supervisor have to call the old Aston to ask for the password.

Speaking of nobles, they are different from ordinary ones. The study room is not only huge in space, but also a small library than the books, and even in a huge room, there are two and three-story bookstores.

Quinn, who was hiding behind the two-story bookcase, used a small telescope to easily see the password for Old Aston to open the safe and get the password for the vault.

Then Hobbs, who got the code, just as Li Changheng said, entered the vault with time, and then used the cleaning cart and the huge bucket on the cart.

Pour the diamonds into the bucket again and again and take them out of the vault.

In the basement, run the diamond down the sewer and rush into the sewer.

Then when I got off work at 6 am, taking advantage of the fact that there were basically no pedestrians on the street, I entered the sewer and dragged the diamonds to the sewage treatment point and sank into the sewage sedimentation tank.

And those diamonds packed in bags are buried by **** in the sewage.

No one standing by the sewage sedimentation tank can see that there are two tons of diamonds hidden under the muddy tank.

After Li Changheng's guess was finished, everyone couldn't help but focus on the old Lord Aston.

After all, no matter how reasonable it is, the parties concerned need to confirm it.

Old Aston sighed sadly, "I'm indeed getting older in the past few years.

The memory loss caused me to almost forget the password once, so from then on, I will use the pages of the classic old book I am reading as the number of the password~lightnovelpub.net~ etc.", Li Changheng was overjoyed with a face But eagerly asked, "Lord, in the past two years, have you used the book War and Peace? "

"Go, God." Old Aston raised his hand in shock and pointed at Li Changheng tremblingly, "How do you know that I used that book in the past six months?"

Li Changheng sighed and said helplessly, "It's not how we knew, but how Hobbes guessed that you were reading the book.

My people have found a book in Hobbes's house, and they have been reading about War and Peace for a long time. "

This is not a lie by Li Changheng. The movie Hobbes himself said that he has been reading the book War and Peace.

Since reading for a long time, there must be a lot of marks on the book. After all, Hobbes is a cleaner, don't expect his fingers to be as clean as a person with a cleanliness.

There are stains on the hands, which will easily stain the pages of the book for a long time, making people think that the book has been turned over for a long time.

"Damn it".

Some of the shareholders scolded in an instant. Needless to say, they must have guessed it from the book.

There was silence in the office for several minutes, and the sound of the clock telling the hour of "Boom, dong, dong," awakened everyone.

Old Aston, who was startled by the bell, frowned and covered his chest for a few seconds before asking, "Henry, the last question, tell me how Hobbes brought the diamond out of this building?"

"Sorry," Li Changheng shrugged, "unless you sign a share transfer contract with you.

Otherwise, you still consider whether to transfer the 100 million pounds to them in accordance with the thieves’ request.”
