Chapter 1Mayday

In December, the night in Zhonghai City was long and the day was short. Just after six o'clock, the sky slowly darkened, and the street lights on both sides of the road gradually lit up, allowing the city to continue to be bright. The crowd after work filled the streets of the city like huge cobwebs, and all kinds of voices echoed over the city.

"Wow." Zhuang Rui pulled down the shutter door of the store, carried several tin boxes packed and sealed to the counter, and closed the safety door. The contents of these boxes were worth millions. Usually there are two security guards and Zhuang Rui hand over together, but today is the weekend, security company training, temporarily recruited them back.

A day's work is coming to an end, although not very busy, but Zhuang Rui young face still showed a trace of fatigue, perhaps by the end of the year, has not returned home Zhuang Rui some homesickness.

Zhuang Rui, 24, was born into a single-parent family in an ancient city in northern Jiangsu. He is 1.8 meters tall and although he is not handsome, he smiles with a kind of cordial feeling and reveals a touch of calmness. It looks a few years older than it really is.In college, Zhuang Rui was also a lively person, but after leaving school, everything did not go well with Zhuang Rui introverted a lot, and people also became mature and steady, in addition to scolding a certain association while watching the game. After work, he spent more time in the rented house to look at some history. A few days ago, he bought a set of Emperor Kangxi written by the February River. If he were not afraid of bad influence, he would like to bring it to his unit.

In 2000, Zhuang Rui graduated from a famous university in Zhonghai City, majoring in finance and accounting. According to reason, the college students who graduated at that time were still good women who were not worried about getting married. It was not difficult to find a job, but Zhuang Rui was not very lucky. He got sick just a few days after graduation. I didn't catch up with the civil service exam that year. After getting well, I worked for a few days in a small company in my hometown. Feeling that there was no development, I returned to China Sea and entered this pawnshop to do accounting.

In general, companies of a private nature, please finance like to invite old finance with many years of work experience, while entering the government department will need a relationship. When he first arrived in China Shipping, Zhuang Rui did not find a suitable job for more than a month. Finally, Zhuang Rui family in China Sea University classmates and dormitory boss to help, only to be able to enter this pawnshop not long after the establishment of the work.

When it comes to pawnshops, it is estimated that people's first impression is pawnshops, and when they think of pawnshops, the words "insects eat rat bites, light boards have no hair, and tattered jackets" immediately appear in people's minds.

In fact, with the development of the times, pawnshops have become a collection of financing, Taobao, stored in a multi-functional place.

The pawnshop where Zhuang Rui works is equipped with diamond rings, emerald bracelets, brand-name watches and other pawns. because the price of these items is generally about half of the original price, therefore, once these pawnshops are absolutely pawned, The selling price will only be slightly higher than the revenue price, which is very attractive to some people who are cash-strapped but pursue brand luxury goods.

Zhuang Rui has seen a lot of beautiful girls and handsome men wearing gold and silver, come here directly to the jewelry they do not like, and then go to the absolute area to find their favorite items, in this way, not only the most desirable items have been circulated, Nor will it create a backlog of funds.

The personnel structure in the pawnshop is very simple. Uncle de, the chief appraiser, is also the manager of the pawnshop, as well as two young appraisers who have returned from abroad. They are mainly responsible for the identification of some foreign works of art and luxury goods, both in their early 30s. In this circle for a period of time, are also professional background, but these two usually think highly of themselves, has not been liked by Uncle de. In addition, there is the cashier Xu Ling and the salesperson in the district.

Uncle de's name was Madeleine. When he was not liberated, he worked as a pawnbroker in a pawnshop in China Sea. Later, he has also been engaged in the excavation and identification of cultural relics, specializing in miscellaneous and calligraphy and painting. He has a high reputation in the collection of Chinese cultural relics and antiquities. Before the opening of the pawnshop, it took a lot of effort to invite Uncle Tak, who had retired from the Zhonghai Museum, to be the chief appraiser and manager of the pawnshop and put it in the former pawnshop.

Uncle Tak likes Zhuang Rui, a steady and diligent young man, and wants to take him to this business. Although he likes to read history, he is not very interested in these antiques. Uncle Tak teaches him to go in one ear and out the other. As soon as you say it, you will bring the topic to a historical figure or story, often glaring at Uncle de's moustache.

According to the regulations, Xu Ling, the cashier, was supposed to hand over the items from the absolute district to the bank deposit car at the end of the day, but the material girl was going to eat in the Oriental Pearl with her boyfriend n today. She left early. Xu Ling is a native of China Sea. Every day, she has this and that kind of thing as an excuse. This is not the first time. Zhuang Rui is also used to it.

The pawnshop leaves work at 06:00 in the evening, and the bank car usually doesn't arrive until about 06:30. By six o'clock, Uncle Tak and the salesperson in the pawnshop area have left, and the two high-paid appraisers are pinching their stopwatches to and from work. Zhuang Rui was the only one left. After he pulled down the shutter door in half, he sat in the counter and waited for the bank to come. According to the regulations, both the cash box and the goods box for storing valuable jewelry were to be collected by the convoy. And check the integrity of the seal.

The last trace of sunset shot into the shop through the glass door. Suddenly, Zhuang Rui felt a darkness in front of him, and three figures crept in from under the half-closed shutter door.

"it's only 06:10. Bank cars don't usually come so early."

Zhuang Rui stupefied for a moment, although on the weekend, the cash car will arrive a little earlier, but also to about 06:20, because several people come in is backlit, Zhuang Rui did not see the appearance of a few people for a time. But he also knew that the men were not bank depositors, and he could see that there was no deposit car parked at the door.

"Gentlemen, we're off duty. If you need anything, please come back tomorrow. We're open on Saturdays and Sundays, huh?" .

In the middle of his speech, Zhuang Rui suddenly found that the three people who came in were all men. What made him stop talking was that all three had knitted hats on their heads. It is the kind of hat that can be turned down to cover the face and only the eyes are exposed. This kind of hat was very popular a few years ago, but now it is rarely worn, although it is December. However, the weather in China Sea is not cold enough to wear this kind of hat, Zhuang Rui suddenly rose in the heart of a bad feeling.

"cut the crap, boy, and hand over the box you have at hand."

The two men stood in front of the counter, and the other ran directly to the pawn area to see their movements. They should be quite familiar with the pawnshop.

"you are committing a crime. There will be bank guards coming right away. If you don't run now, you won't be able to run away for a while."

Zhuang Rui knew that he had met the robbers, and although the police station in his district had done several drills, he had never thought that in addition to the bank, even the pawnshop had become the target of these people.

However, in addition to the initial panic, Zhuang Rui quickly calmed down, because the pawnshop counters were all designed according to the bank anti-theft and robbery counters, and the steel windows made the counters completely isolated from the outside. If they had come a little earlier, It is possible to grab the goods of the absolute area, but now they have all received these things inside, Zhuang Rui believes that with these people, there is absolutely no way to break the safety door in a short period of time.

As he spoke to the robber, Zhuang Rui sat back in his chair. His hand had reached out to the alarm button. As soon as the 110 police and the nearby precinct police station were pressed, they would be alerted immediately, as soon as five minutes at the earliest. They can get there. This is not a film. During the year, there have been several exercises at the scene, and Zhuang Rui is confident that the police who arrive quickly each time.

"Mom, big brother, everything here has been put away, Mao's things are not, old clean, big brother last time you are not personally stepped on the point it."

The man who ran to the absolute area naturally could not find anything, and shouted to Zhang Yang, with an authentic northeast accent.

"who the fuck are you scolding? I'll tell you to be civilized. I'll tell you how many times I've told you to speak Mandarin."

And Zhuang Rui across a security net bandit leader angry scolded, he is very dissatisfied with the quality of his staff, but also may be because he was questioned by his people, listen to Zhuang Rui heart straight want to laugh, There are still five robbers who love to be beautiful these days, but he can't laugh at him at once, because a dark gun is aimed at him through the safety window.

Zhuang Rui hit a thrill all over, had pressed his finger on the alarm button hard, and the shrill alarm sounded. He believed that as long as he dragged it for a few minutes, these people would never get away, but at this point, Pawnshop door suddenly came the sound of a brake, Zhuang Rui looked out, the heart was overjoyed, originally is the bank's deposit car arrived ahead of schedule, this is very normal on the weekend.

Seeing that the bandit leader standing in front of the counter seemed to be distracted by the brake outside the door, Zhuang Rui took the opportunity to lie down under the counter, which was the dead corner of the shooting. The bandits could not help him outside. It was just that Zhuang Rui's swivel chair skidded. As a result, Zhuang Rui did not lie down, but retreated more than a meter, becoming face to face with the bandit leader.

"Boy, you're playing tricks!" .

With the exasperation of the bandit leader, he suddenly pulled the trigger to Zhuang Rui. Zhuang Rui subconsciously flanked his body as he spoke. The bullet wiped his eyes and flew past. Zhuang Rui only felt a fire flying past his eyes. Then Zhuang Rui felt a tingling heat coming from his eyes.

The eyes are the most developed and sensitive place in the nervous system in the human body. Zhuang Rui covered his eyes and exudated blood from the fingers of his hands. The severe pain made Zhuang Rui's body turn back and down, and he could not see it. The position of the back of your head is where the alarm button is located.

"BAM." At the sound of the sound, Zhuang Rui's back of the head hit hard on the glass box outside the alarm button. The huge impact broke the square glass box, and the blood instantly dyed red on the counter where the alarm button was installed. Zhuang Rui's head leaned against the counter and the whole person was in a coma.

The sound of gunfire and alarm alarmed the bank pawnbrokers outside the door, and the bank pawnbroker rushed into the pawnshop, and the bandit's pistol seemed to be homemade, after firing the sinful bullet aimed at Zhuang Rui. The gun, the gun. It never started again, and there were no hostages in the pawnshop for them to take. After a fight, it was clear that the professional skills of the robbers were not very skilled, and soon the three robbers were subdued by several bank security guards.

"Xiao Zhuang, how are you? Can you talk? "

Zhuangrui familiar with the bank depositors shouted in the counter Zhuangrui, but never heard the answer, just fired the hall filled with a strong smell of shoddy fire yao, their hearts gradually sank.

Standing outside, you can see the blood inside the counter, but you can't open the security door. There's nothing you can do outside. After a few minutes, the 100 policemen who received the call also rushed to the scene and cordoned off the perimeter of the pawnshop. Several robbers were covered with police cars, but everyone looked nervously at Zhuang Rui, who was just showing a scalp inside the counter, waiting for someone from the pawnshop to open the security door.

No one noticed that the blood seeping from the back of Zhuang Rui's head slowly penetrated into the gap of the alarm button, and a blue current was introduced into Zhuang Rui's brain along the blood, causing his body to twitch slightly. The hands covering his face had already hung down. If anyone could see Zhuang Rui's face now, he could find that there was a colorful halo around Zhuang Rui's eyes, but only for a short period of ten seconds. The halo disappeared.
