Chapter 199 The Unexpected Diamond Hiding Place

I am strong and 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 little bit wrong.

Pulling the half-floating transport vehicle and two tons of diamonds on the sewage, it is impossible for him to get out within an hour.

If the rest time is too long, it will be 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 one by one from the kayak, pull the kayak through the two locks, and move another two tons of diamond bags.

It's a little more difficult in the middle, if he doesn't take a rest, he may directly fall down here from exhaustion.

Moreover, the time consumed during this period may be longer than the time spent pulling the boat out.

At least 2-3 hours before and after, if Hobbs still kayaks and enters the wide river with diamonds.

He didn't have time to go home, wash off the smell on his body, change clothes and wait for the people from Diamond Group to notify him to go back to the headquarters.

In other words, after dragging the kayak out of the sewage channel for 1-1.5 hours, he is likely to sink the subcontracted diamonds directly into the two-meter-deep reservoir.

Except for dedicated workers, no one will enter the sewage treatment tank in a panic.

And with a little research, you can tell when workers are coming to clean the sluices.

Besides, Hobbs gave Diamond Group 48 hours, and the probability of being discovered by workers in just two days is not high.

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

Just dragging the already light kayak through the three locks and letting it float out in the widening and deepening current can confuse the pursuers.

The last person to look for it along the kayak is likely to find that the boat has entered the Thames, or a second sewage treatment point.

It is further believed that the robbers have landed there.

After all, a few kilometers away from the headquarters of the Diamond Group, it would not be so conspicuous to transport the diamonds away.

Even if someone saw it, the people who looked like workers carrying canvas bags probably wouldn't attract the attention of ordinary people.

If the investigators follow this point to investigate, they will definitely have no clues in the end.

But what Hobbs needed was only 48 hours. The person looking for diamonds was slightly diverted from the investigation direction, and two days passed casually.

Therefore, such a speculation, the diamond is likely to be in the two sewage sedimentation tanks.

Of course, if Hobbs had help, the diamonds could have been trucked away at the first sewage treatment point.

As soon as this idea appeared, he was rejected.

Again, if Hobbs' goal was money, it would be normal to take away the diamonds, but his goal was not money, and even diamonds were just tools.

In the movie, isn’t Laura Quinn still allowed to report to the Diamond Group to clear herself of the suspicion of being an accomplice?

That's right, Li Changheng once again confirmed in his heart that he was not wrong, the diamond must be in the sewage sedimentation tank.

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

Unless the pool was thoroughly cleaned, no one would have thought that two tons of rough diamonds would be hidden in such a dirty place.

Even Li Changheng still guessed in his heart that if the worst happened, Sinclair Insurance Company and Diamond Group would not pay the 100 million pounds.

Hobbs, who failed to get revenge, should come every ten days or half a month to help the workers who cleaned the sluice for free, and cleaned the sluice ahead of time.

It is extremely difficult for anyone to accidentally discover diamonds, right in the reservoir.

When the limelight passes and he has the diamonds in his hands, even if he doesn't want the two tons of ordinary rough diamonds, he can afford to hire someone to help him avenge just by selling the big and colored diamonds.

He didn't even want to cause tens or hundreds of thousands of people to lose their jobs because of his own revenge.

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

Even simply find a killer to kill Sinclair Barkley.

Thinking of this, Li Changheng sighed in his heart, this kind of old man should not be a cleaner, but go back to be a think tank.

Just about to go back, but before turning around, he stopped forcibly at the same spot, and then continued walking forward without any explanation.

After all, it was two tons of rough diamonds, and Zhang Tianzhi, who probably didn't even know English and was unfamiliar with the place, couldn't steal it in a short time, was the one who could really be trusted at this time.

The only pity is that since the diamonds are hidden in the pool three meters below, unless they are salvaged, it will be difficult to pick out the colored diamonds from the diamonds and hide them by themselves.

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

Shaking his head regretfully, more than an hour later, he saw the second sewage treatment site in the distance.

This time, Li Changheng only checked the area for a few minutes before saying, "The kayak did not continue along the sewer, but went forward. This group should have left here."

After finishing speaking, he said to Steven, "Is there anyone in His Majesty Philip's guards, or Charles's guards, who you can absolutely trust?"

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

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

After Li Changheng finished speaking, he said jokingly, "By the way, please ask His Majesty Philip, what position and military rank he gave me in the King's Guards."

"That must be at least a major," Steven said with a smile, "Although His Majesty's Guards have only 120 people, they are of a very high standard, and the appointment of personnel is completely determined by His Majesty, without any interference from the outside world, and does not fulfill the duty of protecting the royal family." Any duties and tasks other than

It was originally a joke, but by the way, from Steven's expression and eyes, try to see if he really belongs to a special agency.

Unexpectedly, it was a trial, and I heard that the guards don't care about the outside world and are not led by anyone other than Philip. Li Changheng really wanted to take this opportunity to get closer to the old man.

"Bang Wei told His Majesty Philip that I am only responsible for close protection when he is on tour, and I am completely free at other times.

Otherwise, don’t issue me a certificate.”

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

Li Changheng put his hard hat and flashlight in the corner, but he didn't take off his gloves. He listened to Andrew who was so happy and muttered non-stop, and led him and Zhang Tianzhi to the ground quickly.

On the pretext of wanting to wash and change clothes, he made an appointment with Andrew outside the building of the Diamond Group 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 specially used to catch leaves and the like, and probe 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 already turbid sewage became even more turbid after being stirred by him, and it was impossible to see clearly what was under the water.

Zhang Tianzhi also understood at this time, "Boss, why don't I go into the water and have a look?"

"No," Li Changheng shook his head without thinking, "You are my bodyguard, I don't want a capable person like you to do such a dirty job."

Zhang Tianzhi immediately showed gratitude, and then Li Changheng said with a smile, "Anyway, these diamonds are not ours, brother Zhi, give me a throwing knife and your tie."

Zhang Tianzhi untied his tie, and when he saw Li Changheng wearing rubber gloves, tying the throwing knife to the long fence, he immediately understood what he wanted to do.

When you stab Li Changheng down sharply with a throwing knife, it feels like you are stuck in sand or small gravel.

Use the seine to shake up and down, and then turn around a few times to let the seine wind itself together.

After feeling that some diamonds could be entangled no matter what, Li Changheng quickly lifted the long pole, and saw some small diamonds sporadically appearing in the entangled nylon wires.

As for more diamonds being brought up and sinking into the water, he didn't care.

Damn Hobbs, no matter how cunning you are, you won't be broken by the young master in the end.

After identifying the diamonds, shake all the diamonds on the net into the water.

After standing on the spot and waiting for more than ten minutes, I was sure that there would be no rough diamonds shining when I stood and looked down, so I left here in peace.

Li Changheng took Zhang Tianzhi to find a handmade clothing store, bought two sets of clothing and leather shoes, found a hotel to wash up, met Andrew at 4 pm, and entered the headquarters of the Diamond Group again.

When he saw Oliver Aston, who was notified by someone, he hurriedly greeted him. Li Changheng's first words were, "Send me three meals and coffee."

Hearing that the three of them didn't even eat lunch, Oliver asked someone to make arrangements, and dragged him to an empty part of the hall.

He whispered excitedly, "I didn't expect it to be counted by you, half an hour ago the newspaper typesetting director of the London Evening News called me and said.

The editor-in-chief of the Evening News handed him a secret letter, asking him not to open it before the typesetting and printing began at 4 o'clock.

Then, having doubts in his heart, he quietly opened it and read it, and found that it was news related to us, so he called me immediately. "

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

Or maybe that newspaper typesetting supervisor is one of yours? "

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

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

"While the diamond industry has high profits, the cost of maintaining profits is also very high.

Not only the 75% shares of Evening News are held by us with more than a dozen branches or cooperative companies.

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

In addition to the three newspaper offices controlled by large groups, the other seven newspaper layout directors.

Either they are our people directly, or they are paid 6,000 pounds a year to inform us of any news related to diamonds. "

Li Changheng's eyes narrowed instantly.

He had been playing with the idea of ​​the Diamond Group, but now he had a reason to control, or at least affect, the Diamond Group.
