Chapter 50 Money Tactics
There is a road about 350 meters away from the warehouse, 50 meters higher than the warehouse. A medium-sized van with a municipal logo is parked on the side of the road, facing the surveillance coverage area No. 6 of the warehouse. A black sedan slowly drove up and stopped behind the van. Mark sat in the driver's seat and took out a telescope to look at the warehouse: "Your intuition is probably right. Liang Xi is really problematic."
Karin was in the back seat, watching the surveillance video on her computer: "Can't we find a reason to arrest him?"
Mark replied: "Bobby Clement is not just a name. Look at the video sent by surveillance car No. 3. There are a total of 24 bodyguards who take turns to protect his safety. Whenever he goes out, the eight bodyguards will not be more than 80 meters away from him. This is not a problem. The problem is that I don't want to deal with the lawyers of the Clement family."
Karin said, "My information shows that Bobby is a mental patient. Perhaps we can talk to his father. It is obvious that Liang Xi is using Bobby's identity to openly confront us."
Mark responded, “Now what?”
Karin said, "I don't think there's any need to make a fuss. He must not know which warehouse the goods are in, otherwise he would have left. If he steals anything, we will call the police immediately and give the video to the police, and the police will solve the matter. We just need to monitor his every move and send him to jail." This is why . The warehouse is brightly lit and clean, and the police station is nearby. With controlled surveillance, any illegal behavior only requires a phone call and the police can arrest them. It is impossible for the Sand Dune Team to send armed forces to guard the supplies 24 hours a day.
Mark put down the telescope, thought for a while and said, "Karin."
"Um?"
Mark: “I feel a little guilty when you say that.”
"Why?"
“Whenever you become confident, something bad happens.”
Karin was upset by this and said, "Believe me, if he can't find the target warehouse, he will definitely use illegal means to invade the warehouse. Then we can catch him in the act. It's a very simple thing. As long as he is arrested, he has to tell us everything we want to know. Or do you think he found the warehouse by coincidence?" They didn't know about the ghost incident of the little boy that the patrolman did not report.
Mark said, "If the hospital is a coincidence, I don't believe the warehouse is a coincidence either. No one would find this place inexplicably. Some important person must have told him some information, and it seems that someone noticed something was wrong. Liang Xi is still too young, and he doesn't know the consequences of being involved in such a thing. No matter what the result is, he is definitely a discarded pawn."
Karin said, "You are overestimating yourself."
Mark laughed and said, "I'll take you back to rest."
Karin replied, "No, I can just rest in the car for a while."
Mark turned to look at Karin: "Are you still worried about him?"
Karin refused to admit it: "I'm not worried. He is my brother's friend after all. I just don't want him to do anything stupid."
Mark said nothing more: “Take a break.”
…
At 1:30 in the morning, Liang Xi went into the tent to sleep, and Bobby sat on the stool alone in a daze. He walked around the warehouse from time to time, as if thinking about something great.
At three o'clock in the morning, Bobby went into the tent to rest.
At 7 o'clock in the morning, Liang Xi and Bobby went downstairs and the bodyguards drove over to deliver breakfast. A bodyguard packed up the tent. A bodyguard placed a small folding table and two stools at the door of the 430 warehouse, spread a tablecloth, and put all kinds of food, even coffee. The breakfast bodyguard left, and the tent bodyguard went down to the ground and put the tent and other things in the trunk of the car.
"Karin," Mark called.
Karin opened her eyes and looked at the surveillance screen on the computer: "Have they started to eat breakfast?"
Mark said, “Something’s wrong.”
"What's wrong?" Karin asked.
Mark said: "Two bodyguards entered the warehouse in a car, one bodyguard was responsible for packing up the tent on the top of the warehouse, and one bodyguard was responsible for providing food. Strangely, the bodyguard in charge of breakfast left the warehouse on foot and did not leave in the car with the tent bodyguard."
Karin said, "That's a good thing. It looks like they're going to use the bodyguards to help them steal from the warehouse. They thought they could escape the punishment of the law, but they didn't know that everything they did was recorded. They can't escape the charge of being an accomplice of theft."
After a while of watching and waiting, two more bodyguard vehicles drove into the warehouse and stopped near Warehouse 430. Six bodyguards got out of the vehicles and stood around. Karin said confidently, "They are about to start. If I'm not mistaken, several bodyguards are going to find tools to pick the locks for them. I'm a little worried. With so many of them, if one person pried into a warehouse, there's a certain chance they'd find our warehouse."
Mark said, "I don't think they would assign a warehouse to each person. Normally, they would pick one or two warehouses that they think are the most suspicious. The nearest patrol car can reach the warehouse in two minutes."
Karin watched Liang Xi and Bobby eat breakfast: "I'm a little hungry too."
Mark opened the car drawer, took out a box of cookies and threw it to Karin: "Don't worry, they won't start until they finish breakfast."
Mark and Karin ate biscuits and drank mineral water while watching the two finish their breakfast. At this time, a and walked quickly towards the car. Mark unlocked the car door and Karin put on a mask. The woman looked around, opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat. She glanced at Karin and said, "Boss, Tracy called."
Mark was stunned: "Trish? Isn't Tracy in Maria Hospital?"
The woman nodded. "Yes, Tracy called and said someone contacted her and asked her to go to the warehouse within an hour to complete the warehouse sublease procedures. Tracy said she was not in London, and the other party said it would be okay to shoot a video and send it to them. The video stated that she sublet her warehouse number to Bobby Clement on a certain day of a certain year and a certain time. As long as Tracy agrees, there is no need for a key. They will handle it themselves, and the money will be in the account within 5 minutes after receiving the video. The Clement family will be the guarantor."
Mark didn't understand: "What do you mean?"
The woman said, "Complete the sublease procedure within an hour and you can get 20,000 pounds."
"Oh, my goodness." Mark subconsciously looked at Karin, then turned back to his subordinates and said, "I see."
The subordinate got out of the car, Karin took off her mask, and the two looked at each other. Mark said, "We are in big trouble ."
A voice came over the intercom: "Monitor No. 3 captured two lawyers arriving at the warehouse entrance. A citizen drove up and was talking to the lawyers."
"What should I do?" Karin was also panicked.
Excluding the 430 warehouses that Bobby had rented and three vacant warehouses, Liang Xi still suspected that there were 36 warehouses. Theoretically, it was impossible for Liang Xi to find the target. So Liang Xi used money tactics to let Bobby rent all the warehouses, and gave the tenants an hour to prevent changes.
What if some warehouses have more than 10,000 pounds of goods? Bobby can offer 20,000, 50,000, 100,000, or 200,000. Bobby is stingy with Liang Xi to maintain an equal status and have some fun. If he really needs money, he won't even blink an eye when he throws in a few million pounds.
Liang Xi was also a little confused. What kind of father is this? Bobby asked his bodyguard to call 10 lawyers, but his father didn't even say anything. He had to call Bobby and ask him why he needed so many lawyers. No, not a single call.
