Cape Town, South Africa, in the lobby of the Standard Chartered Bank's safe area.
"Yes, sir," a black manager said in native English to Miao Kun, who was in disguise. "Our counter numbers are not in Arabic numerals, but are arranged alphabetically according to the account number provided by the customer.
"This is …" He pursed his thick lips and smiled, revealing his small white teeth. "It's a practice left behind by Mandela, and there's no way to change it!"
"Oh … Ha ha …" Because of the mask, Miao Kun had to be extremely careful even when he smiled, for fear of revealing any flaws. "I've heard my brother mention this before!
"In that case, please take a look. There should be no problem with my brother's account, right?" With that, Miao Kun picked up a pen and wrote the English letters "Tytal" on the paper.
"Please wait a moment." The bank manager took out his tablet and looked it up. He quickly nodded and said, "Yes, we do have this account!"
Oh yeah!
Miao Kun looked calm on the surface, but deep down, he was already ecstatic. He didn't expect that his guess would come true.
"Then … Would you like to open it now, sir?" the bank manager asked politely.
"Of course …" Miao Kun nodded and said, "Otherwise, I wouldn't have come all the way from the United States just to chat with you, right?"
"Ha ha, you really know how to joke!" The black manager was amused.
"My brother also told me that to set up an account here, you must have the same two letters, right?"
"Yes, and you have to be case-sensitive …" The bank manager smiled and said, "But … That was a rule from a long time ago. Now, it's not so troublesome to open a safe!"
"Hmm …" Miao Kun looked around and asked, "What do I need to do next? Do I need to register? "
"Oh … No, no, no … There's no need to register. We will protect the privacy of our customers …" The black manager hurriedly pointed to the inside of the bank. "Please come with me! This way, please … "
"Thank you very much!" Miao Kun thanked him politely, but he couldn't help but show a hint of pride in his eyes. In fact, long before he arrived, he had done a lot of homework and understood the procedures of the safe.
Unexpectedly, there really was a safe deposit box account called "Tytal" here. It was obvious that this mysterious safe deposit box was the real clue left by Grimm!
South Africa's Standard Chartered Bank's safety deposit box area was still a far cry from some of the bigger banks. The area was much smaller than Miao Kun had imagined.
Therefore, when the bank manager led him into a narrow secret room, he even felt a little suffocated with his mask on.
Since there weren't many safes in the room, the manager quickly found the one labeled "Tytal."
At that moment, Miao Kun finally understood why Green had hidden the fake diamond in the Tidal Generator, but hadn't used the word "tidal" as the password.
This was because Standard Chartered Bank had a rule that the account must contain two identical letters, and it was case-sensitive.
That was why Green used a professional abbreviation like "Tytal" as a password. It was also because of this that Miao Kun smelled the hidden clues behind Green and chased him all the way here.
At this time, the black manager opened an old-fashioned keyboard under the safe and said to Miao Kun, "Sir, please enter the password now!"
"Oh … Okay!" Miao Kun approached the safe and looked at the old-fashioned keyboard. The keyboard was similar to a modern computer keyboard, with letters and numbers on it.
Phew …
Because the mask couldn't release sweat, Miao Kun's sweat flowed down his neck to his collarbone, soaking his shirt in front of his chest. It was very uncomfortable and uncomfortable.
But at this time, Miao Kun couldn't care less. He gently exhaled and rubbed his hands unnaturally on both sides of his shirt. Then, he held his breath and pressed the string of letters and numbers "GDWP2056" on the keyboard.
This string of letters and numbers was the diamond password left by Green, which was written after "Tytal" on the generator box where the fake diamond was hidden.
Miao Kun thought that since "Tytal" was the account number, then "GDWP2056" must be the password.
At this moment, he entered the string of letters and numbers on the keyboard.
After entering, he immediately held his breath and carefully looked at the two red lights on the safe.
Beep …
As the safe beeped, one of the red lights suddenly turned green.
Wow …
Miao Kun raised his arm excitedly and was about to touch the safe, but soon found that there was still a red light on the safe that had not turned green.
"Oh …" Miao Kun suddenly understood. He hurriedly took out a fingerprint ring from his pocket and said to the manager, "My brother has passed away, so if I wear his fingerprint ring, it should be in line with the rules, right?"
"Well … In principle, as long as you can open the safe, we will not pursue your identity, but sir …" The manager said awkwardly. "Are you mistaken? As you can see, what you need to open is the first generation of our bank's safe. At that time, we still used keys, so there was no need to enter fingerprints! "
"…" Miao Kun suddenly trembled, as if he had been struck by lightning. He didn't expect that he would be able to open the safe with Green's fingerprint!
Depressed, his hands unnaturally reached into his pockets. However, how could there be a key in his pocket?
"Sir …" The manager quickly asked, "Did your brother remember wrongly? Did he give you the key? "
"Um … Well … This …" In fact, Miao Kun's face was covered in sweat, but because he was wearing a mask, it was hard to tell. "Um … Of course … Of course he gave it to me …"
"But …" Miao Kun hesitated for a long time, then said, "The key … The key … Could it be in the United States?
"Ha ha …" He laughed awkwardly. "Brother, do you think this is the most bitter joke in the world?"
"No, no, no …" The manager quickly waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, it doesn't matter if you don't have the key! You can also know the security code. After entering the security code, even if there is no password or key, the safe will automatically open! "
"What is this? Security code? "Miao Kun frowned.
"It's a 13-digit password, which is composed entirely of English letters. At that time, this was our bank's first! " The manager explained. "In order to ensure the safety of the safe, we added the security code function!
"At that time, the 13-digit code was synonymous with being impossible to decipher. The older generation of bankers called it foolproof …"
"Security code … English letters … 13 digits … 13 …" Miao Kun thought about it carefully. The gears of his mind were spinning at a high speed, and his brain was about to boil.
"Sir … Sir?" The black manager urged cautiously. "Do you still remember that your brother mentioned the security code to you? If there is no code, then … Um … Then … "
"Wait a minute! I … I … "Miao Kun's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said excitedly," I seem to remember. Is the 13-digit security code repeated? "
"Um … Well … I can't tell you!" The black man smiled, but his expression was a little stiff.
"Okay … I … I almost remember. Come on …"
With that, Miao Kun began to type one letter after another on the keyboard. Every time he typed a letter, he had to think for a long time. Although it took a lot of time, he finally finished typing the 13 letters.
