"How much?" An Liwen asked. In truth, he had not set his hopes very high; after all, this was only the first trial. Robberies to come would require casing the place beforehand and striking only when there was plenty of cash on hand.
"The bank's cash and foreign currency, plus the cash at the gold shop and the gold and silver jewelry converted over — comes to about thirty million..." Big Mule said.
"That much!" An Liwen was stunned. He had never expected robbery to be so profitable, and he could not help but laugh out loud. "Very good, very good! Leave the gold and silver jewelry alone, just hand it straight to the Fire Wolf Gang. They have professionals under them who can melt it down into other ornaments before fencing it — no problem at all. The new bills go up the line too; our cut keeps only the old bills!"
"Yes!" Big Mule nodded and went off to handle it. An Liwen was beaming. His plan really was a good one — a simple, utterly skill-free bit of business with no capital laid out, and he had made it flourish. Gu Mengyao, oh Gu Mengyao, why can't you like me?
At the Songshan City police bureau, Liu Wangli sat in the conference room with a grave face. Qiu Lingshan was away, and the squad's work was temporarily in his hands. What he had never expected was that in the space of a single day, Songshan City had seen two robberies — one at a bank, and one at a jewelry store!
The two had occurred one after the other. Judging by the method and the surveillance footage pulled from the scenes, both cases had been committed by the same man, with an identical modus operandi: that same violently self-willed style, forcing open safes by brute force and plundering them, the whole thing over in an instant. Before the police could even reach the scene, the suspect had already fled.
What was more, the suspect's parking spot had been chosen with real artistry: it avoided the surveillance camera at the bank's entrance, avoided the cameras along the bank's access road, and tucked the car into a blind spot, so that no one could determine which vehicle he had driven.
Still, according to the eyewitnesses, the vehicle the suspect had arrived in was likely a Land Rover; but as for the model and the license plate, the eyewitness had not seen them clearly, and knew nothing about such things anyway.
With Qiu Lingshan away, the pressure on Liu Wangli had risen sharply. His current position was acting deputy captain and captain of the First Squad; with Qiu Lingshan gone, the role of leader naturally fell to him.
Looking over the case file, Liu Wangli was beside himself with anger. This suspect was a little too brazen — daring to commit two crimes in a row. It was as if he held no one in his eyes at all, arrogance beyond measure!
Yet this method of operation also left Liu Wangli shaken. By his judgment, this man might well be a cultivator!
