Chapter 212 Reveal the Answer

At the beginning, I considered that I wanted to copy the surveillance images, not only did I need 8 sets of equipment like filming, but I also needed a special person to keep an eye on the equipment.

Moreover, the cost of copying film like film film is 1,600 pounds a day, and the film has to be replaced every half an hour.

In a year, the money spent on film alone costs 584,000 pounds.

What's more troublesome is that cinematographic equipment is used for a long time all year round, and it is extremely prone to fire.

If you add a large amount of film that catches fire and burns extremely fast, the probability of a building fire will be astonishingly high.

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

Old Aston gave his son Oliver a comforting look before asking Li Changheng, "How did Hobbs know the password of the vault?"

Li Changheng pretended to be hesitant to reveal the information, and remained silent for a while.

Cai said, "My people found a notebook with a large number of six-digit passwords in Hobbs' home.

And I found in that notebook 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 Hobbs used his status as a cleaner to accidentally discover the place where Lord Aston hid the code.

But he didn't go directly to steal like ordinary thieves.

In other words, he didn't dare to steal diamonds at the beginning, but just opened the vault out of curiosity.

Then after a long time, I started to steal some diamonds in small quantities.

As he stole more and more diamonds, he became more and more courageous, since he began to plan how to steal all the diamonds.

The people present couldn't help but nodded after listening.

But old Aston looked at the ceiling with a frown and muttered in a daze, "Three months ago? Three months ago?"

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

When everyone saw old Aston punching the desk, they immediately understood that the old man should know what was going on.

Sitting decadently on the loose boss chair, old Aston's eyes were full of remorse.

"In the past few years, I sometimes hide the password slip in the crevice of the drawer of the desk. It is indeed possible for the cleaner to accidentally discover the password."

After finishing speaking, the 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 was used to locking the password note in the safe of the manor. How did the cleaner know that?" of?"

Li Changheng curled his lips, "Lord Aston, I don't think you just hide the password in the crevice of the drawer occasionally.

Instead, it was hidden for two full years, otherwise there would not be so many password numbers in Hobbs' notebook."

Lord Aston blushed and smiled awkwardly.

Only then did Li Changheng continue, "Since Hobbs has recorded the password for two years, suddenly one day the password can't be found.

I think maybe that's why he really made up his mind to steal all the diamonds."

Everyone thought for a while, and then nodded after realizing it.

Li Changheng continued, "People have inertial thinking, if the password set by Lord Aston is only a few times, no one will be able to guess it.

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

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

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

When everyone heard it, they believed and doubted.

And Li Changheng himself knew that these words were all lies. Although Hobbs was thoughtful and understood people's hearts, he was not a mathematician, not a data engineer, nor a secret agent.

But just an ordinary person who has been wandering between revenge and non-revenge for more than ten years, keeping his own law and order.

Even if you write down the passwords for more than two years, it is impossible to calculate the connection between the passwords and guess the passwords.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have pulled Laura Quinn, who was about to be fired, to go to the old Aston's manor to steal the password.

What the old Aston didn't expect was that although his son Oliver Aston and Laura Quinn did not have the relationship of a couple, the relationship between the two was very ambiguous.

Perhaps if 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.

Moreover, Quinn, who graduated from Oxford University, can be promoted to a manager-level executive in a male-dominated, or even completely dominated, large group.

Just one phone call to the group to hand in the backlog of orders from yesterday to the secretary, and the treasury supervisor had to call the old Aston to ask for the password.

Speaking of nobles, they are different from ordinary people. The study room is not only huge, but the collection of books is comparable to that of a small library, and even in a huge room, there are two and three-story book collection pavilions.

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

After getting the code, Hobbs, just as Li Changheng said just now, entered the vault under the pressure of time, and then used the cleaning cart and the huge bucket on the cart.

Again and again the diamonds were poured into the bucket and brought out of the vault.

Flush the diamonds down the drain pipe in the basement into the sewer.

Then when I got off work at 6:00 in the morning, 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, where they sank into the sewage sedimentation tank.

And those diamonds that were packed in bags were buried by garbage in the sewage.

Anyone standing by the sewage sedimentation tank would not be able to see that there are actually two tons of diamonds hidden under the already turbid pool.

After Li Changheng's speculation was finished, everyone's eyes could not help but focus on the old Lord Aston.

After all, no matter how reasonable the statement is, it needs to be confirmed by the parties involved.

Old Aston sighed sadly, "I've really grown old these past few years.

Memory decline 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. "

"Wait," Li Changheng was overjoyed, but asked eagerly, "Lord, have you used the book War and Peace in the past two years?"

"Come on, God." Old Aston raised his hand in shock, pointed at Li Changheng tremblingly and said, "How do you know which book I have been using for the past six months?"

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

My people found a copy of War and Peace in Hobbs's house, and they read it for a long time. "

This is not Li Changheng lying, Hobbs himself said that he has been reading the book War and Peace.

Since I read it for a long time, there must be a lot of marks left on the book. After all, Hobbs is a cleaner, so don't expect his fingers to be as clean as a clean freak.

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

"Damn."

Someone among the shareholders immediately scolded, needless to say, it must have been guessed from the book.

There was silence in the office for several minutes, and everyone was woken up by the sound of a "dong dong dong" clock chiming the hour.

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

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

Otherwise, you still consider whether to transfer the 100 million pounds to the thieves as they demanded."
