I'm a spy in the film
Chapter 138: Resignation
Just as Bourne inadvertently participated in Operation Swordfish, a $94 billion theft plan planned by the DEA in Los Angeles, a bizarre bank robbery occurred in New York.
Four robbers hijacked a trust bank on Wall Street in Manhattan in broad daylight, and more than 50 bank employees and customers were controlled by the criminals.
In view of the multiple bank robberies that broke out a few months ago, the New York Police Department has undergone a major reshuffle of its senior management. Many police chiefs and superintendents who were just sitting there doing nothing were dismissed, and a large number of capable, young and energetic grassroots police officers were promoted. The one in charge of this sudden case is one of the best among those promoted, Keith Fraser.
It took less than fifteen minutes from the time the robbery occurred to the time the police arrived at the scene and surrounded the bank.
The reason why it was so quick was, on the one hand, that the NYPD had conducted many simulation drills recently, which greatly improved their reaction and support speeds. On the other hand, we have to thank a passerby who was the first to discover the abnormality in the bank, called Sheriff Case, and informed him of the robbers' and bank's information, which led to the police's quick response this time.
The gangsters robbed the bank and took hostages. The police surrounded the bank and the two sides negotiated...
This seemingly ordinary bank robbery case turned out to be strange as time went on.
First of all, the robbers were few in number but had a detailed plan and were well-trained, especially in terms of psychological quality.
Not only did they install a bug in the police command vehicle by angering the police, they also used a tape of an Albanian dictator's speech to fool the police's wiretapping, successfully delaying the process for quite some time;
Sheriff Keith once suspected that the gangsters had other motives. He took advantage of the opportunity to negotiate and enter the bank, and suddenly knocked down the robber leader and almost uncovered his mask.
This seemingly reckless action greatly angered the robber leader, who immediately took a hostage to the back office and executed him. This brutal move shocked the NYPD, but it was later proved that the hostage was only knocked unconscious and was not dead at all.
Secondly, the robbers chose a very strange target. This bank was not well-known on Wall Street. It had no special features except that it was established a long time ago. However, this bank robbery, which involved neither huge amounts of cash, gold, or bonds nor important hostages, alarmed the mayor of New York City, who forcefully forced a special adviser into the temporary command center. It was later proved that this special adviser was a well-known female broker in New York's upper class society.
Once again, what’s even more ridiculous is that just when the negotiations broke down and the assault team composed of the FBI and NYPD successfully broke into the bank and rescued all the hostages, the robbers disappeared!
Not one was found!
If the above things are incredible but still understandable, then the next discovery: although the bank vault was opened, the things inside were still there, is quite strange?
What did these robbers come to the bank for? Tourism?
Or did everyone just dream about a bank being robbed?
Therefore, although there were many suspicious points in this case, no information about the case appeared in newspapers or news.
Only those who were attentive noticed that Sheriff Case, who was dismissed in the case, was not only reinstated a week later, but his rank was also raised by two levels. For a black sheriff who had worked his way up from the grassroots and had no background, although he had caught a good time, his promotion speed was still too fast. However, it is said that the decision to promote him was made directly by the city government!
"So?" Bourne asked angrily.
"Nothing. Captain Norton found out that the major shareholder of this bank is the Swedish military giant Vanger Industries. This company was a large military company during World War II and has cooperative relations with many countries in the world. The current chairman of the bank, Arthur Case, is a branch of the Vanger family. The bank that was robbed was the first bank he opened after coming to the United States. It is of great significance to him!"
"Just because of this? You don't have to quit!" Bourne shouted.
"No, no, no." Black girl Keith shook her index finger and said mysteriously:
"Although the bank said nothing was lost and the police confirmed this, Captain Norton still saw the original inventory list of the bank vault. There was a box that was not on the register. Perhaps that was the real target of the robbers, and they succeeded. As for what it was, Captain Norton guessed that it was some evidence of the bank chairman's early crimes. After all, that guy was said to be the Nazi's royal appraiser and important seller during World War II. It's normal for him to do some shameful things!"
"Just because of this? But what does this have to do with Captain Norton?" Bourne still looked incredulous.
"Shh! Keep your voice down. You know how powerful the Jewish consortium is on Wall Street and in Washington. Captain Norton has just been affected!" Black girl Keith said helplessly in a low voice.
"That's right, but it should mainly be Captain Norton's own wish!"
Bourne and Black Girl Case looked at the person who was speaking, and it was John Zhao.
Seeing that both of them were looking at him, John Zhao couldn't help but lower his voice: "I heard from my family that Captain Norton had been undercover as a killer for a while. At the end of the mission, he let an important suspect go. Someone above was very dissatisfied with him, so he has been suppressed for many years and has not been promoted. Some time ago, he was diagnosed with poor health, and the doctor did not allow him to overwork, so the captain resigned directly. However,"
John Zhao hastily added, "Based on the captain's previous merits, the bureau did not try to retain him, but approved a lot of extra subsidies. It is said that it was Deputy Director Lewinster who made the final decision, and the director did not say anything!"
"Deputy Director Lewinster is the best. I'm her loyal fan!" Black girl Keith's eyes were twinkling with stars.
For a moment, the tea room where the three of them were was quiet, and Bourne tried to digest the news he had just heard. He had just returned from Los Angeles last night, and when he reported to Group 2 early this morning, he did not see Captain Norton, and after asking around, he found out that he had resigned!
After asking several senior members of the team, they all said they didn't know the situation and that he resigned suddenly. It was only when no one was in the bureau at noon that he met the black girl Keith in the tea room. Unable to bear Bourne's pestering, she revealed a little to Bourne, and John Zhao, who happened to stop outside the door for a while, filled in the rest of the content. Only then did Bourne know that Captain Norton's resignation had such a complicated inside story.
It seems that no matter where you are, background and influence are really important!
"I seem to have heard that the killer that Captain Norton let go was a hairy bear man. He joined the Continental Hotel and is very famous. He also has a cool nickname." Black girl Keith looked thoughtful, "It seems to be called 'Night Devil'. Yes, 'Night Devil' John Wick!"
Bourne felt familiar with the name and nickname, but his attention was drawn to John Zhao's next sentence: "By the way, Bourne, I came to you because you found the person you asked me to help you find. They are in Chinatown, but they don't run a martial arts school, but a small shop."
"Open a store? What store?"
"Tailor shop!"
……
Ever since he met Yin Yang, who looked like a Zhongnanhai bodyguard, in a bar in Los Angeles, Bourne had the idea of learning martial arts from a martial arts master, and this idea was unstoppable once it was born.
And Rob also agreed. In all countries except the Celestial Empire, Chinese Kung Fu is a mysterious force that attracts countless people to study. In Rob's view, Bourne's love for Kung Fu is like his obsession with driving all kinds of vehicles. It is something worth giving everything for. Good brothers must support it. Thus, the pressure comes to Yin and Yang.
Unable to withstand Rob's pestering, Yin Yang had to give Bourne a few names and addresses.
However, Yin Yang also made it very clear that the people he provided were all elderly people who had settled in New York decades ago. He was not sure whether they were still there. However, even if they were gone, there were several martial arts schools in New York's Chinatown where one could learn some real kung fu.
So, early this morning, Bourne asked John Zhao, who came from a police family, to help check it out with a try-it attitude. As a result, he actually found two families based on the name and address description.
One is in Manhattan's Old Chinatown, and the other is in Flushing, not far from the headquarters building.
There happened to be not much to do today, so Bourne decided to take advantage of the lunch break to visit Flushing.
Flushing, located in the northwest of Queens, is very close to LaGuardia Airport and has a large flow of people. It has developed tremendously in recent years and has surpassed Chinatown in lower Manhattan to become the largest Chinese gathering area in New York.
Bourne has been here many times, but he always went straight to the large supermarkets here, because only here can you buy all kinds of authentic domestic seasonings and ingredients, and the prices are not outrageous.
As for Flushing as a whole, Bourne can only say that it is a village in the city!
A city village in China where you can see people of all races from all over the world!
It was noon and the streets were bustling with people. Following the flow of people, Bourne came to the door of a two-story building on the corner of the street.
