Lin Chuang returned to the Secret Service, and Tian Biyu, Shao Jijun, and Zhu Xiaoguang came to report on the work.
"There is nothing unusual about my group." Tian Biyu said.
"Hou Ming went to get off work as usual, nothing unusual. Xiang Qiuyan went to the Bank of China early this morning and came home soon," Zhu Xiaoguanghui reported.
"Did Xiang Qiuyan have any contact with Hou Ming after returning home?" Lin Chuang asked Tian Biyu.
Tian Biyu flipped through the phone records in her hand and said, "I made a phone call and said the money had been withdrawn."
"Withdraw money?" Lin Chuang frowned, feeling a little unreasonable: "A person like Hou Ming should deposit money in the bank, and he will withdraw money? Xiaoguang, is she withdrawing money? Withdrawing money?"
How much?"
"I'm sorry, Team Leader Lin. After Xiang Qiuyan entered the bank, we were afraid that she would be discovered and did not follow her. Therefore, we don't know whether she withdrew money or not." Zhu Xiaoguang replied.
"Xiaoguang, let's go to the Bank of China with me." Upon hearing this, Lin Chuang immediately stood up and greeted Zhu Xiaoguang out of the door.
It was a mistake not to understand Xiang Qiuyan's move into the bank. Lin Chuang did not criticize Zhu Xiaoguang. After all, Zhu Xiaoguang was not Zhang Qiang or Chen Lu.
Zhu Xiaoguang drove, and the two of them came to the Bank of China, found the lobby manager, revealed their identities and explained their purpose.
The lobby manager's surname was Wang. When he heard that someone from the Secret Service had come to his door, he didn't dare to neglect him and quickly came out of the counter to say hello: "What are your orders, sirs?"
"Manager Wang, at around eight o'clock in the morning, a woman in her thirties came to your bank to do business. Do you have any impression?" Lin Chuang asked.
"Oh... I have the impression that she came to check the items in the safe." Manager Wang recalled such a person for a moment.
The safe he is talking about is a safe that is rented out by the bank. After the customer pays a certain amount of deposit, he can rent a safe of his own at the bank. As long as he pays the annual rental fee, the safe can be used by himself.
This business is carried out by most banks. The purpose is of course to sell insurance services, and the target customers are also wealthy people.
Because many wealthy people's house deeds, valuables or confidential documents, diaries, etc. are not safe at home, but it is much safer to spend a small amount of money to put them in a bank.
has a problem!
Zhu Xiaoguang's eyes lit up when he heard that he was not withdrawing money, and he admired Lin Chuang's keen judgment very much.
"Manager Wang, can we take a look at that lady's safe? Don't worry, we're only looking at the outside of the safe," Lin Chuang said.
"Sir, it's okay to just take a look at the appearance. Please follow me." When Manager Wang heard that he wasn't asking him to get the bank's spare key to open the safe, but just to take a look at the appearance, he readily agreed.
"This is it." Manager Wang led Lin Chuang and Zhu Xiaoguang into the safe storage area and pointed to a safe.
Lin Chuang took a look and found that the so-called safes were actually about the same size as supermarket item storage boxes in later generations, one next to the other. To distinguish them, each safe was numbered.
"No. 37, 37? Why does this number seem familiar? I must have seen it somewhere, why can't I remember it for a moment?" Lin Chuang thought to himself when he saw that the safe number pointed by Manager Wang was 037.
"Manager Wang, how can you be sure that this is the wife's safe?" Lin Chuang asked curiously.
"Oh, that's right. The bank has regulations. Anyone who comes to the safe to check or put away items must be accompanied by a bank teller. The purpose is to ensure the safety of other safes. When the lady came this morning, I was the one accompanying her.
, so I have an impression." Manager Wang said.
"Did you see what she took out or put in?" Lin Chuang asked.
"We have a rule that when a customer comes, we can only watch from a distance, as long as the customer is not out of sight. So, I only saw her take out the key, open the box, take something out and put it in the bag.
As for what it is, I didn't see it clearly." Manager Wang shook his head and replied.
"One more thing, Manager Wang, how do you confirm that the person coming is your safe rental customer?" Lin Chuang asked.
"Guests only need to explain their purpose of visit and show the special key." Manager Wang replied.
"Can I see what kind of key it is?" Lin Chuang asked.
"Of course, please follow me to the lobby." Manager Wang was very cooperative and extended his hand in a gesture of invitation.
The three of them came to the lobby. Manager Wang took out a key from Lin's counter and handed it to Lin Chuang: "Sir, this is the key."
Lin Chuang took it and took a look and saw that the key was very ordinary, except that the key was tied to a long and exquisitely crafted sign.
This sign says "Bank of China 0125", which should be the key to the safe No. 0125.
"How many keys are there?" Lin Chuang asked.
"There are two, one is kept by the customer, and the other is kept by the bank in case of emergency." Manager Wang replied.
"An unexpected need?" Lin Chuang asked.
"Yes, what should I do if the customer loses his key? He can provide proof of identity and payment, and we will provide him with another key." Manager Wang said.
Lin Chuang looked at the key in his hand and thought: "This seemingly safe thing is actually not safe at all. It is too easy to fake. The most important thing is that the key can be matched, but the brand is not easy to match. If
In future generations, it will not be difficult to imitate this kind of brand."
Thinking of cheating, Lin Chuang's heart moved: "Manager Wang, can you check, has the key to safe No. 37 been lost? Who is the owner?"
"Sir, this... I can't make the decision. We have regulations and customer information needs to be kept confidential." Upon hearing this request, Manager Wang looked embarrassed and immediately declined.
"Keep it secret? Keep it secret even from the Secret Service?" Upon hearing this, Zhu Xiaoguang's eyes widened and he asked coldly.
"Manager Wang, we are investigating these not for anything else, but for the purpose of investigating the case, and we hope you can cooperate." Lin Chuangchong waved his hand to Zhu Xiaoguang and said to Manager Wang kindly.
"Okay, sir, let me ask for instructions from our manager. What's your name, sir?" Manager Wang also knew that the Secret Service was not easy to mess with. He was just the lobby manager and could not get into trouble for official business, so he had to ask for instructions.
"My surname is Lin, Lin Chuang." Lin Chuang said.
"Go quickly!" Zhu Xiaoguang shouted.
"Yes, yes." Manager Wang quickly ran towards the second floor.
"Who? Lin Chuang?" The manager of the Bank of China, whose surname was Liu, heard Lin Chuang's name. His body seemed to be loaded with springs and he stood up from his chair.
"Yes, he said his name is Lin Chuang and he wanted to check the information of a customer. I said the bank has regulations and he is not allowed to check..." Manager Wang said.
"Quick, quick, take me down to see him!" Manager Liu didn't wait for Manager Wang to finish speaking, and hurriedly came out of the office, trotted downstairs...
