"Sir, please enter your passcode!"
Under the instruction of the bank staff, Zhao Yu keyed in the passcode for the safe. After checking, the staff handed him the leather bag with two hundred thousand old notes.
"Alright, sir, please check it!" The young female staff said with a smile, "To express our apology, we will pay you double the rental fee. Later, you can take this claim form to the front desk to claim the compensation! "
Zhao Yu opened the leather bag and looked inside. There were stacks and stacks of old notes inside.
Sigh!
He could not help but sigh. This leather bag had really been through a lot!
It had been buried deep in the mine for twenty-six years. Now that it had finally been unearthed, it had encountered many dangers and was almost stolen by criminals.
Luckily, the criminals had not been interested in the money. After so many twists and turns, it had finally returned to Zhao Yu.
No way!
Zhao Yu felt that since the bank was no longer safe, he had to get rid of the old notes as soon as possible! Although this item was quite collectible, there was really no safe place to store it!
"Please sign here!" The waiter pointed to a spot on the claim form and said.
Zhao Yu took the form. Before he had collected the item, the staff had already recorded his detailed information and kept a copy of his ID.
Thinking back to when he had opened the account, it had not been so detailed. The bank had only reminded him not to forget the passcode, bring the key, and pay the commission on time.
Zhao Yu had already taken the pen and was about to sign, but he suddenly had an idea. He pretended to be surprised and said, "Hey? That's not right? I still have a six-carat diamond in here! Why is it gone? "
Zhao Yu reached into the bag and immediately put on an expression as if he was about to die.
"Ah?! No … no way? " The staff was afraid that this would happen. She could not help but shiver and asked, "Sir … please don't joke around! Before you opened the cabinet, you said that there was a leather bag with money in it. You didn't mention any diamonds! "
"Nonsense! My diamond is from South Africa. I was afraid that the Commission for Discipline Inspection would investigate me, so I stored it here. Aiyo … my diamond! It's over ten million now! "
"Sir …" The waitress was completely confused by Zhao Yu. She was trembling and didn't know what to say.
Then, a middle-aged woman, who looked like a supervisor, saw him and immediately walked over. She said politely, "Mister, please don't worry. No matter what you lose, our bank will compensate you accordingly. However, you must first cooperate with our procedures! "
"How?"
"Due to the seriousness of the matter," the supervisor said calmly, "our bank will work with the police to conduct a detailed assessment of your assets. If your assets are in line with the conditions of the lost item, no matter how much it is, we will compensate you!
"However, I still have to remind you that the criminals will be caught very soon. At that time, we will investigate them one by one. If you speak carelessly, you will have to bear legal responsibility!"
Oh …
High! It was too high!
Zhao Yu was secretly impressed. The shareholders of the bank were indeed experts. That way, if anyone asked for anything, they would have to be investigated by the bank and the police. As long as one had a guilty conscience, who would dare to accept such an investigation? Even if they really lost a priceless treasure, they could only swallow it down and suffer in silence!
Could it be that … there was really a ghost in the bank?
But, Zhao Yu was an expert at being shameless. Seeing that his first plan had failed, he immediately thought of another plan. He glanced at the female supervisor and asked, "Sis, even if I didn't lose the diamond, my safe was indeed pried open by the robbers! When I was saving the item, you didn't say that. You said it was one hundred percent safe and one hundred percent private!
"This is great. I don't have any security or privacy anymore. If my seven brothers see that I have such a large sum of money, my family will soon be in chaos! Don't you have to bear some legal responsibility for me? "
"This …" The female supervisor obviously did not expect such a situation. She could not help but scold him in her heart. Seven brothers? Calabash Brothers?
"Also, did you know? When I found out that my safe was broken into and that my money might have been stolen, do you know how scared I was? My heart stopped. Let me ask you, is there no compensation for mental damage? You just need to pay double the rent and that's it? I just saved the money a few days ago, so it doesn't even add up to two hundred yuan. Aren't you treating me like a beggar? "
"This …" The female supervisor was completely shocked by Zhao Yu's shamelessness. She hesitated for a long time before saying, "Sir, don't be so agitated! It's like this, our branch manager is already in the ICU. I will report your situation to the main manager and let them decide for you, okay? Don't worry, our bank will definitely not mistreat you! "
"Branch manager? He's in the ICU? "Zhao Yu thought for a while and asked," What happened to him? Why is he in the ICU? "
"Sigh!" The female supervisor sighed. "Who can take such a big thing happening in the bank? You don't even know! Our bank is already in chaos! "
"Especially our bank's safe deposit box business, which has been attacked by the media. Our side is doing better, as we are temporarily closed. We only handle the seventeen safe deposit boxes that were broken into.
"But the other branches are already in chaos!" The female supervisor sighed and said, "No one dares to save money in their safe deposit boxes anymore. They are all busy withdrawing their money! The depositors heard the rumors and started queuing up to withdraw their money. Sigh! Actually, there was no need for them to do this!
"Our Qinshan Bank has a strong foundation. This kind of crisis won't hurt us at all!" The female supervisor said confidently. "Plus, the police will definitely catch the culprit and find the stolen items! Then, everything will return to normal! "
Tsk tsk …
Seeing the female supervisor's confident expression, Zhao Yu could not help but think. Maybe the female supervisor was exaggerating to stabilize the morale of the staff, but what she said was not without reason.
Previously, when Zhao Yu was investigating the Mianling Case, he had investigated Mister Tao in detail. As an experienced bank manager, Mister Tao had always been trustworthy and was respected in the industry. He did not seem like the kind of person who would embezzle money!
Plus, this kind of thing was not child's play. Once the matter was exposed, not only would the bank collapse, but the people involved would also be heavily punished. As the decent bank shareholders, they would definitely not take this kind of risk! Even if their performance went down and the bank closed down, the money they had saved up in the first half of their lives was enough for them to live on. There was no need for them to do something like this!
Then … if it was not an internal operation of the bank, what else could it be?
"Sir, you haven't signed yet!" The female employee next to him said impatiently with the form in her hand.
Zhao Yu could only lower his head and sign it. But as he was signing, he suddenly thought of a question and asked, "Oh yeah, I remember that when I opened the account, you guys registered it, right? Your registration, is it stored internally and can't be found by the outside world? "
"Why … Why are you asking this?" The female supervisor saw that Zhao Yu was difficult to deal with and quickly said, "In order to protect the customer's privacy, of course we can't reveal it to the outside world."
Zhao Yu thought that since Tong Yun was a missing person, the police station must have investigated Tong Yun's information. But they did not find out that Tong Yun had opened a safety deposit box in Qinshan Bank!
Then … This meant that the registration of the safety deposit box was stored internally and was highly confidential. Even if the police were to investigate, it would not be exposed.
If so …
Suddenly, Zhao Yu had a flash of inspiration. He seemed to have thought of something very important and asked, "Waitress, from what I heard, it seems that not only the Yuhua Street branch has a safety deposit box service? Other branches have it too? "
"Mm … Of course! There are three in total! " The female supervisor answered without hesitation, "Headquarters, Yuhua Street, and Jiefang Street, all three of them have a safety deposit box service! But our branch is the earliest, opened ten years ago! Because the headquarters is a newly built building, they only joined the business a year ago. "
"Oh … So, does that mean that the headquarters' safety deposit box is bigger than this one?" Zhao Yu asked.
"Of course, the headquarters is a thirty-five story building. Just the safety deposit boxes alone, there are at least four to five. Any one of them is bigger than this one!" The female supervisor said, "But this incident is too big of a blow. It will definitely affect the safety deposit box service! Sir, I don't understand why you are so interested in our bank. "
"Besides Qinshan Bank, are there other banks that have safety deposit box services?" Zhao Yu asked again.
Although the female supervisor was even more curious, she still answered Zhao Yu's question, "There are many! Tongchuan Bank, Dajiang Bank, they all have them … Oh … "The female supervisor seemed to have understood something and asked," You mean … The robbers were sent by other banks? Are you trying to frame us with this? "
