Chapter 8 — The Night of Power Failure on the 17th Floor

The other person dared to attack in the apartment, dared to put photos under the hotel room door, and even dared to pretend to be a relative coming to school to take a leave of absence. These guys don't act on the spur of the moment. They are like a net. She and An An escaped from the seventeenth floor, only passing through a mesh once. The net is still continuing to tighten. At eleven o'clock in the afternoon, information about Luong Thua Vien was clearly investigated. The old training center has long since changed its name. But the warehouse in the basement of that building was always rented by Luong Thua Vien's ex-wife's younger brother. The lease contract is renewed every year, without interruption. What's even more strange is that that building is only two streets away from Nam Kieu Bridge. Team leader Dien spread the map on the table. Old central building, Nam Kieu bridge, Khuong Hoa's apartment building, An An's school. The four points connect together like a road that has been traversed by someone over and over again. Police Officer Ha said. "The bank has also investigated." "Ms. Khuong's safe deposit box registration information was accessed three months ago." Khuong Hoa suddenly raised her head. "Who accessed?" Police Officer Ha put down the printed paper. "An internal operation code of the bank." "The teller said she was not impressed, but the system still had records." Captain Dien asked. "Is that employee going to work today?" "Please take a leave of absence." sick.” “Home address?” “Someone has been sent.” The cold feeling in Khuong Hoa's heart became more and more severe. She thought the key was kept in the bank and would be safe. But the opponent can even access the safe's information. So why didn't they take the key directly? An An asked for her. "They can't open the safe." Captain Dien nodded. "Needs the owner's presence or full authorization." Khuong Hoa said softly. "So they need me." Policeman Ha said. "Might also need fingerprints and verification of your face." Khuong Hoa's palm gradually became cold. Captain Dien looked at her. "We set a reverse trap." Khuong Hoa raised his head. Team leader Dien said. "You go to the bank to check in as usual." "We will arrange someone to supervise the entire process." "After the safe is opened, temporarily do not let the key be exposed." "Let's see who will act." Khuong Hoa did not immediately agree. She lowered her head to look at An An. An An also looked at her. After a long time, the girl softly said. "Go." Khuong Hoa frowned. "It's too dangerous." "Hiding is also dangerous." An An's eyes were dark. "They know the school, know the hotel, know our house." "If we don't lure them to appear, next time we don't know where they will strike." Khuong Hoa's heart felt like it was being tightened by a small string. She doesn't want her daughter to continue to face these things. But she also understood that An An was right. At 2:20 p.m., Khuong Hoa was escorted into the bank by two female police officers. An An was arranged to sit in the opposite car. The car windows are covered with dark film. The girl sat in the backseat, next to police officer Ha. Team leader Dien sat in another car, watching the live video. The bank lobby is very bright. Cold white light shines on the marble floor, so clean it's unreal. While doing the procedure, Khuong Hoa's palms were always sweaty. The teller checks the identity. Sign. Enter data. Each layer of iron doors in the safe area opened one by one. Each sound of the lock sounded like a knock on her heart. When the safe was pushed out, there was a moment when Khuong Hoa did not dare to raise her hand. The female police officer gently reminded. "Miss Khuong, follow the plan." Khuong Hoa nodded. She opened the safe door. Inside were only a bunch of old keys, a vellum envelope and a yellowed photo. On the key chain is the key to the iron box. On the envelope was her mother's handwriting. Tieu Hoa personally opened it.

Khuong Hoa's eyes heated up. Just as she was about to put everything in the evidence bag, the photo slid out from under the envelope. In the photo is a group of people standing in front of an old building. Luong Thua Vien stands in the middle. Next to him was a man wearing a security guard uniform, his right pinky finger was partially amputated. Next to that man was a young woman. Khuong Hoa looked at that woman for a few seconds, her blood gradually turned cold. That's the bank employee who asked for sick leave today. At the same time, An An, sitting in the opposite car, suddenly sat up straight. The child smelled something. So sweet it's sickening, a little sour. Like spoiled orange candy. The girl slowly turned her head and looked towards the side door of the bank. A man wearing a cleaning uniform was pushing a tool cart, bowing his head and walking toward the entrance to the safe area. His right hand wears a black glove. The position of the little finger on the glove was missing for a while.09An An did not scream. She knows that if she screams, the other person will run away. He grabbed Officer Ha's sleeve and pointed towards the side door of the bank. Officer Ha looked in the direction of her finger and his expression immediately changed. He immediately pressed the headset. "Target has appeared." "Housekeeping uniform." "Black glove on right hand." "Approaching the entrance to the safe."
