Chapter 196 Deliberately Scaring the Snake (First Order Plus 9)

The three of them had just joined Laura Quinn and were walking towards the elevator when they heard Andrew's voice from behind.

"Henry, take me with you".

Li Changheng gave Andrew a blank look, but did not object.

Anyway, the more Andrew knows how powerful he is, the higher his status will be in the royal family in the future.

Pressing the down button of the elevator, Li Changheng looked at Laura Quinn, who looked dodgy and disturbed, said the accomplice of the diamond theft.

"Miss Quinn is American, why did she come to Oxford to go to university, and finally stayed in London and worked for the London Diamond Group?"

Quinn's heart tightened, knowing that the young nobleman in front of him was already probing by saying these words, and he even felt suspicious from the tone of his voice.

Although he didn't know why the other party doubted him, Quinn didn't dare to lower his vigilance at all.

I was just about to say the reason for perfunctory diamond group employees and friends in London.

But before the words came out, she decided to tell the truth again.

Quickly corrected, "When I was in high school, 99% of women in the United States were either housewives, or they were discriminated against and suppressed at work because of their gender.

So I applied to Oxford University without thinking too much after seeing reports about the women's rights movement initiated by female teachers and students at Oxford, and the results were not bad.

But after studying here and working for nearly 19 years, I realized that the promotion of female employees is actually the same in both the United States and England.

No matter how capable I am and how many problems I help the group solve, the managers of the 1,147 branches of the Diamond Group just don't have my share.

I will always be able to congratulate my male colleagues who are less capable than me for being promoted to new branch managers."

Except for Zhang Tianzhi who couldn't understand English, Andrew and Steven suddenly showed angry and embarrassed expressions.

Then I felt sympathy for Quinn, who was 38 years old, but beautiful, in good shape, and more fashionable in clothes and dresses.

But who is Li Changheng?

He squinted his eyes at Quinn and said, "Are you trying to arouse my sympathy and protectiveness, and hope that I can help you get promoted?

Or do you want to tell me that you have a grudge against Diamond Group? "

God.

Andrew and Steven looked at the bewildered Li Changheng in surprise, while Quinn's eyes were full of fear as he almost couldn't stand.

It's over, the bastard is so hard-hearted and rational.

Or, is he also an out-and-out male chauvinist?

"Ding".

The elevator door just opened at this time, Li Changheng nodded to Quinn with an inexplicable smile, and walked into the elevator first.

Then, as if he had never said those words at all, he said, "Miss Quinn, you go to the meeting room and let those employees who have no chance to enter and exit the 7th floor and the vault passage on the 7th floor leave.

Then tell the rest of the people I want a report detailing their walks and what they did, OK?"

"Yes sir".

At this time, Quinn was eager to leave Li Changheng early, and even more hoped to have the opportunity to join Hobbs, the cleaner who made a plan to steal the diamonds himself.

Remind him that the young nobleman beside him is definitely more difficult to deal with than the professional insurance investigator Finch Grant.

Watching Quinn get out of the elevator on the third floor, Li Changheng pressed the door closing button with his mouth upturned, and went straight to the first floor.

Only then did Andrew ask, "Henry, are you suspicious of that woman just now?"

Li Changheng, who already knew the answer in his heart, said with a smile, "Just follow along, I don't have the heart to answer so many questions of yours."

Asshole, Andrew cursed in his heart, and then silently thought about why Li Changheng doubted that beautiful woman just now.

The four came outside the diamond group. Li Changheng took out a £50 note and said to Steven, "Go buy four pairs of rain boots, rubber gloves, a flashlight and a mask."

"Wait," he took out two 50-pound banknotes from his pocket, "it's best to buy a miner's lamp with high brightness, wide illumination range, and safety helmet that is specially designed for miners."

Steven was devastated because of Andrew, took the money without asking, and drove to buy things.

Half an hour later, the four of them came to the manhole cover on the street. Zhang Tianzhi saw that Li Changheng was looking at the manhole cover, and after getting Li Changheng's nod in agreement, he took out his dagger and pried off the manhole cover.

Then go up the escalator and climb into the sewer.

Seeing that Steven and Andrew, who was full of treasure hunting thoughts, had already gone down the sewer.

Li Changheng, who was standing by the mouth of the well, looked at his watch. It was already 11:40 noon, and he hesitated whether to go down or not.

Having inspected the vault myself and made sure the vault was in order, it is safe to say that the diamond must still be as it was in the movie.

The cleaner Hobbs, who will be 70 years old in three months and must retire, uses the password Laura Horne told him to easily open the alloy door of the vault and enter the vault.

Then use the cleaning cart to leave the vault with the diamonds.

Take advantage of the fact that you can walk around the building at will, and bring the diamond to the cleaner's studio on the basement floor.

Like most syndicates, cleaners are indispensable and at the same time at the lowest level of the diamond conglomerate.

Hobbs' studio is not even on the first floor of the Diamond Building, but a small room of about ten square meters in the basement.

It means that this room is the closest to the sewer.

A large number are only the size of peanuts and soybeans, and a small number of rough diamonds are larger.

After Hobbs himself replaced the downpipe with a larger-caliber hose, it was easily flushed into the sewer by running water.

Therefore, Li Changheng knew in his heart that the diamond might not necessarily be in the sewer.

Or, after hearing that the Bank of England's old banknotes had been stolen and the bank's sewers were full of old banknotes, Hobbes was worried that someone would connect the two things and go into the sewers to find them.

So go into the sewer in advance to make arrangements, and use boxes and the like to transport the diamonds out of the sewer.

But as an old man who is almost 70 years old, it is not so easy to transport two tons of diamonds.

The diamond was stolen last night, Hobbs left the diamond building at 6 am this morning, and the employees who work during the day are at 8 am.

At around 8:30, the person in charge of entering the vault, taking out the rough diamonds and handing them over to the appraisers of various purchasers to see the goods, opened the gate of the vault and found that the diamonds had been stolen.

Then report to the higher authorities, and then call all the employees from last night back for inspection. It will take about 3 or 4 hours at most.

It was difficult for Li Changheng to transport 2 tons of diamonds alone in 3 hours, not to mention that Hobbs had to tidy up his clothes so that he would not be smelled by others.

Therefore, the diamond should be hidden somewhere in the sewer, or even if it is transported away, it must not be too far away.

"Henry, what are you still thinking, come down quickly, and this is the sewer for rainwater and domestic water."

Hearing Andrew urging himself anxiously and excitedly in the sewer, Li Changheng leaned over and looked down, and saw that the space below was not small, and the smell was not strong.

Only then did he put on the mask, and while climbing down, he also restored the manhole cover.

PS: The first order plus update has been officially completed, and now the monthly ticket is 800+, which means that the fourth update is still owed for the time being, so it is not a big problem.

Ladies and gentlemen, give me some motivation, and the monthly pass will come here.
