Chapter 30 exposed password

Anthony and Buck are not really friends.In fact, for a while Anthony even wanted to kill Buck and feed it to the dogs.Because Buck lied to Anthony when he committed a crime in San Francisco that time, causing Anthony to waste a lot of effort, but he didn't get any money, and was almost caught by the police. Therefore, when Buck came to knock on Anthony's When they came out, Anthony was surprised. Buck was still tall and strong, with his long, knife-like face, wide mouth, and a bottle of wine in his hand. "Don't get angry, Anthony." Buck spoke first, shaking the bottle, "If you want to get angry, you have to drink this bottle first..." After drinking half of the wine, Anthony already knew Buck's reason for coming.Buck found a fat safe in the city, but couldn't find a suitable person to open it for him.Anthony is the best safe opener.

Nowadays, many young boys who are new to the rivers and lakes use gas cutting, which requires a lot of tools. Anthony never needs to bring too many tools, and he does it quickly and silently. "Anthony, please listen to my explanation about the incident in San Francisco," Buck's eyes turned around, "There is a woman next to me who always pesters me for money, you know what it's like to be pestered by a woman. This time I will reward you tenfold." "Who knows what your kid will do?" Anthony said with disdain.Before Buck swallowed Anthony's part of the money, Anthony felt a little uncomfortable with him.Buck is very bragging, showy, and easily seduced by women; Jack wears fancy clothes, and you can spot him at a glance among hundreds of people; Jack likes to drive that kind of large luxury car, which is very eye-catching.People in this business shouldn't be like that.

But in any case, Buck had something on his mind.Especially when it comes to finding safes, he is an absolute genius and always has a good plan.To work with him, you have to tolerate his temper, and you can't trust him, especially when you transfer, you can't give him everything in the safe.Like the last time in San Francisco, they all fell into Buck's trap. What Buck brought was a bottle of high-quality xO, which meant that he really needed Anthony's help this time.Anthony sipped the wine slowly, whether he didn't drink for nothing, whether he was helping or not was another matter.

Buck's three-inch tongue was talking again, and everything was said in a hype. There was suspicion in Anthony's expression.Buck kept his face serious, showing the sincerity of a recruit, raised his right hand and said, "Anthony, I promise this time it will be absolutely fair, and there will be no woman involved, and this time it will be quite easy." He poured two full He took a glass of wine, bumped it in his hand, and handed a glass to Anthony, "I respect you, buddy." Anthony hadn't had a drink like this for months, and he was short of money.He asked, "What is so easy?"

"I got the architectural drawing of that building here, and everything is planned." Buck patted his pocket, "This time it will be a classic between the two of us. Just you and me are enough, there is no third party Participate. We are one and half." Anthony responded casually, thinking to himself: Last time in San Francisco, it was because a third party participated that Buck swallowed his share.If there are only two people, one against one, I am not afraid of being overwhelmed.Although Buck's mind turned faster, his own strength was stronger than Buck's. Buck asked: "Do you want me to tell you more about the situation?"

Anthony nodded, and stretched out the wine glass again. The taste of the wine is really good.He's been having bad luck lately - I'm sure Buck has seen that.His house was messy, the room was dimly lit, and he was wearing an old sweater because there was no heating.Lately, he's even gone to work for someone else, like all the incompetent fools around him, doing a little office work here and there without finding a regular employer. Jack took a piece of paper out of his pocket and opened it.This is a well-drawn plan that only an insider can understand.Rooms, passages, stairs, elevators...marked in detail and precisely.

"Anthony, look, this time it's like getting something out of a bag." Buck patted the drawing, every pore on his face was leaking confidence. "Well," Anthony looked at the circle drawn by the pencil, "what is this?" "Jewelry—mostly diamonds. Easy to sell. I've already contacted the buyer. Or, you can sell the part yourself." Buck grinned, and passed the bottle again. Anthony drank another drink, took out a cigarette, and flicked it.Buck brought up a silver lighter. "Go on." Anthony took a drag on his cigarette. "Okay. Let's approach the building from this alley, enter from here, and go up to the third floor." Buck pointed to the plan, "This was originally a hall, but now it is divided into five small offices and a safe room. I have already made Here's the key to this door." He blinked ambiguously, "I know a girl who works here who secretly switched her keys while doing that.

I also know about the alarm system in the building. "He pointed to the room at the end again," and that's where the safe is. " "how is it like?" "A big, thick Lishen safe. I haven't seen it yet, but they told me it's been around for more than ten years. It's big, heavy, and locked tightly." Anthony didn't ask "them" Who it is, Buck must have bribed the insider, but he will not tell him. "There is only one way out?" Anthony asked looking at the drawing. "What does it matter? No one will see us anyway. There are three days off next week, and we will start at midnight on Friday. When they find out that it has been stolen, it will be three days later."

Anthony nodded, sipping the wine carefully: Can I still trust Buck?Will he be deceived again? "I've got the plan ready, everything is safe, Anthony." Buck shook the bottle, "You and I have been brothers for many years, that's why I came to you, those jewels are worth at least half a million yuan, I want to make up for your last time San Francisco's loss." Anthony would not listen to this.He studied the picture carefully and asked many questions.Buck answered perfectly, without seeming to hold back.Anthony had to admit it was a good deal.Buck said he spent a month scouting, scouting, and spending a lot of money on information.He knew the jewels were going to be in that safe, he knew every detail that needed to be known.

"I also want to tell you, Anthony," said Kick, "this is my handwashing money, the last vote of my life. After getting the money this time, I will leave here far away and never look back. . I want to settle down in that farm in my hometown, forget the past, and live a comfortable life for the rest of my life. " Anthony asked Jack to keep the picture and promised to answer him the next day.If it were someone else, he would have jumped up and promised.But for Buck, he had to be scruples. He had to think more about it. If Buck deceived himself, how would he deal with it?The more Anthony thinks about it, the more he feels that Keke will murder him by surprise after he succeeds.If Buck ambushes two people in the alley in advance... the matter is not as simple as opening the safe, Anthony racked his brains for most of the night.When Buck called the next day, Anthony replied, "I did."

"You're such a smart guy." Buck smiled and hung up the phone. A few minutes later, Buck came to Anthony's apartment and penciled the street name, company name, etc. on the map.Anthony found that the building was only two kilometers away from his apartment. They made an appointment to meet.Buck walked away. In the next two days, Anthony collected some tools and got a bottle of special explosives from a gangster group, promising to pay within a week.He also got a small suitcase, and carefully arranged the necessary things.Then he took to the street to buy a suit and a hat.In this way, he looks like a company employee.Many people worked in the building at night, and Anthony had done a lot of office work in the past, so he knew that well. Anthony went on foot to scout out the destination.Everything was as Buck said, but the alley was not quite right.The alleys were dark—many people could hide in them—and it was not a good time for someone to hide there, waiting for him to come down the stairs with a quarter of a million dollars worth of jewels. Friday night.Anthony and Buck meet as scheduled. It was not difficult to get into the mansion without any trouble.They hiked up rusty ladders to the third floor.It took Buck ten minutes to turn off the alarm system—just as he had promised.Things went very well. Buck opened the door, and the two walked in together.They closed the door again. "It's all up to you, man," said Buck. Anthony went directly to the place where the safe was placed at the back. This is a separate small room, which can play the role of sound insulation.This is their only safe, which means that something must be in it.Anthony looked carefully at the safe, and Buck stood nearby, looking awkward. "Don't stand here and distract me, Buck, you disturb my mind," said Anthony. "How long will it take you to finish?" Buck asked. "Half an hour, maybe forty-five minutes. Don't you stand here staring at me." Buck shrugged and went into another room.Anthony found an old cloth and hung it on the only window, then turned on the light and closed the door.Anthony spent fifteen minutes going through the safe and the room. Buck knocked on the door, "Anthony, how long are you going?" Anthony turned off the light, opened the door, and told Buck not to move. Kick stood by the door, watching Anthony carefully load the gunpowder.Anthony's movements were slow.Buck was a little restless. Anthony lit the fuse, and both of them hid outside the house.The safe blasted well.There was a muffled explosion and a few clicks, and the door of the safe opened. Buck was overjoyed, and rushed into the safe room like a gust of wind.The safe is empty! Anthony yelled angrily, "You said you were 100 percent sure there were jewels here!" Buck stood there blankly for a while, shook his head in bewilderment, and then flew into a rage, even saying that there should be something in it! It was a terrible shock to Buck, and Anthony had never seen such a disappointment. Anthony was also quite upset, and the two cursed together, kicked over tables and chairs, and slipped out of the building. Buck's car was parked in the alley.There were two other men in glasses in the car.Anthony knew that if he really held 250,000 yuan in jewelry at this time, he would already be dead. Buck got into the car, and drove off without asking Anthony if he had a ride.Anthony turned around the alley and got into a taxi. The next day, Anthony decided to leave.Buck regained a little sanity, and at least he went to the airport to see him off. Anthony took a 747 going south--he didn't care where.As long as there is him and his suitcase. He once paid attention to the work habits of office workers during his part-time job, and knew that they always liked to change the password of the safe.Remembering passwords is a hassle.So there will always be a convenient way to remember the password.He deliberately extended the time to check the safe, and found an alarm clock in the drawer that didn't go away.He pressed the time numbers on the clock, easily opened the safe, and put the jewelry into the suitcase.Then close the safe, and then pop open the safe in the normal way. This vote did make up for San Francisco's loss last time.
