Chapter 238 Robbery
Three days after the jewelry exhibition, an unremarkable van was driving smoothly on the road. Inside the van was a batch of priceless jewelry, which would be transported to the airport and boarded a passenger plane that would take off in two hours.
To ensure the safe and on-time arrival of this precious cargo, the transportation team meticulously planned its itinerary. The van was scheduled to arrive at the airport an hour before departure, completing security checks and customs clearance within 40 minutes. This arrangement not only minimized the cargo's waiting time at the airport but also effectively reduced the risk of accidents.
However, fate always seems to like playing tricks on people. Just when everything seemed to be going smoothly, an accident suddenly struck. A heavy truck rushed towards the van at an alarming speed like a wild horse.
Faced with this sudden crisis, the van driver did not panic. He reacted quickly and turned the steering wheel to the right without hesitation, trying to avoid a head-on collision with the heavy truck.
At the same time, several seemingly ordinary vehicles in front and behind the box truck seemed to have received some kind of instructions and immediately rushed towards here like arrows.
However, the other party had clearly anticipated this. Just as the van and the heavy truck were about to pass each other, the other heavy truck suddenly slammed into the van like a ferocious beast. With a loud bang, the van was knocked over and finally hit the ground with a heavy blow, the body of the truck was severely deformed, and the scene was immediately thrown into chaos.
Seeing this, a nearby car, which had been preparing to provide support, slammed to a stop beside the van. The van's doors swung open, and a group of armed men, each armed with MP5 submachine guns, rushed out like a whirlwind. These men were the escorts from the Hong Kong Jockey Club Security Group, well-trained and quick and decisive.
Upon landing, the escorts immediately split into two groups. One group rushed toward the overturned van, while the other quickly formed a defensive formation around it, vigilantly observing the surroundings. Their movements were skillful and professional. While maintaining high alert, they quickly launched a rescue operation to try to save the driver trapped in the van.
At the same time, several escort personnel rushed towards the two heavy trucks that caused the accident without hesitation, obviously trying to control these two dangerous vehicles.
However, something unexpected happened. As the escorts rushed toward the heavy trucks, some of them suddenly collapsed without warning. They hadn't heard any gunfire, nor had they even seen the enemy. They had inexplicably lost their fighting capacity.
Soon after, more escorts began to collapse, as if struck down by an invisible force. The atmosphere at the scene instantly became extremely tense, and the previously orderly rescue operation was completely disrupted by this sudden change.
As the escorts fell one after another, a group of mysterious masked men scurried down the road like ghosts, arriving at the van in the blink of an eye. One of them swiftly installed a small bomb and gestured to the others, who quickly sought shelter in nearby bunkers like well-trained special forces.
Instantly, a deafening boom was heard, and a massive hole was blown open on the side of the van. However, it was only then that people realized, with astonishment, that this seemingly ordinary van was far more than it appeared. Its strength rivaled that of an armored vehicle, and without the use of explosives, forcing the door open would have taken considerable time.
Then, with astonishing speed, the masked robbers plundered the van's contents, their actions smooth and effortless. Having completed their mission, they vanished from the road like ghosts, leaving behind only the devastated road and a battered van.
Five minutes later, a traffic officer on patrol happened to pass by the scene. Shocked by the horrific scene, he immediately called headquarters for support. Soon, a large number of traffic officers arrived like a storm, quickly cordoning off the scene.
Half an hour later, Hua Di and his fellow criminals arrived at the scene at lightning speed. After all, a robbery of this magnitude and violence warranted an on-site investigation. Li Wenbin entrusted this daunting task to Hua Di's team, hoping they could quickly solve the case and bring these vicious robbers to justice.
Shortly after Huadi arrived at the scene, the escorts, sprawled on the ground, began to regain consciousness one by one. It turned out they had only been hit by the anesthetic needles, temporarily losing consciousness. As time passed, the anesthetic wore off, and they naturally regained consciousness.
Upon seeing this, Hua Di acted decisively, immediately arranging for his men to question the newly awakened escorts. Simultaneously, he dispatched another group of officers to conduct a blanket search within a 500-meter radius centered on the incident, aiming to gather possible evidence and search for any leads related to the case.
Time ticked by, and two hours later, the officers who had been dispatched returned to the headquarters conference room. Hua Di immediately gathered everyone together for an in-depth analysis of the case.
During this process, Huadi's first task was to reconstruct the entire case. To do this, he not only carefully listened to the statements of those at the scene but also conducted a comprehensive and detailed study of the evidence collected. Only in this way could Huadi and his team reconstruct the true circumstances of the incident as closely as possible.
At the time of the incident, the two heavy trucks, like a pair of tacit partners, attacked the van transporting the jewelry in a strange yet precise manner, forming a pincer attack from the front and back. This sudden collision was like a carefully planned storm, instantly turning the scene upside down.
However, this was only the beginning of this meticulously planned crime. Just as the surrounding escorts, disguised as ordinary vehicles, reacted quickly and rushed to support them like well-trained soldiers, an even more shocking incident occurred.
Suddenly, a faint sound of piercing air was heard, like the whisper of death. Then, as if under a spell, the well-trained escorts fell to the ground. A hundred meters from the scene, a group of well-hidden snipers had been lying in ambush. Like ghosts, they struck the fatal blow at the crucial moment.
However, surprisingly, the snipers used anesthetic needles instead of lethal bullets, which made Hua Di realize that these robbers were not ordinary vicious criminals, nor were they terrorists who aimed to create terror and chaos.
Although the information Huadi and his colleagues currently have is quite limited, this detail undoubtedly provides an important clue for solving the case. Just as Huadi and his colleagues were busy analyzing the case, the door to the conference room was suddenly pushed open with a loud "bang".
Everyone looked in astonishment and saw a blue-eyed, high-nosed foreigner rushing in like an angry bull. Behind him followed a group of people with equally solemn expressions.
As soon as he entered the conference room, the foreigner started yelling at the people behind him without any politeness: "Why are you still holding a meeting here? Why don't you go out and search? What are you still standing there for? Go and find those robbers!" His voice echoed in the conference room, with obvious anger and anxiety.
Suddenly, a figure rushed into the room like a gust of wind. It was none other than Randolph, the Jockey Club's chairman! His face was so gloomy, as if water could drip out. Undoubtedly, the escorts were employees of his family company, and the stolen jewels naturally belonged to his family. This explained his fury; after all, this was a huge loss!
However, Li Wenbin, who walked into the room with Randolph, appeared remarkably calm. Unlike Randolph, he didn't get emotional. Instead, he spoke in a calm tone, "Hua Di, you two should go out for a while." His voice, though low, revealed an undeniable authority.
