Chapter 73 Bank of Houston

Dunes District, Fifth Avenue, Bank of Houston.

It was seven o'clock at night, but the Bank of Houston was still brightly lit.

Unlike the bank staff who worked from nine to five in the previous life, in Emerald City, the bank has also begun to become like a convenience store, and has become a 24-hour operating mode.

In fact, all industries seem to have become like this.

Because whether it is two or three o'clock in the middle of the night when the neon lights are gorgeous, or twelve o'clock at noon when the sun is just right, the streets of the Emerald City are always filled with pedestrians of all kinds.

The highly concentrated population in a small area drives consumption in all industries.

Whether it is an individual industrial and commercial household or a variety of small and medium-sized companies, they are desperately turning around the clock.

The social environment under high pressure creates a more tense living atmosphere than in previous lives.

Everyone wants to make money.

But some people chose to work hard, while others chose to burn, kill and loot.

Well, it's very cyberpunk.

Jiang Shu, who just got out of the car at this time, saw with emotion several goth teenagers with guns just robbed a convenience store.

After killing the clerk, all they got was a few bags of sandwiches and a bunch of hot dogs just out of the oven.

This is an era where you can shoot and kill people at will for sandwiches and hot dogs.

Jiang Shu sighed, feeling a little sad.

The howling cold wind suddenly blew past the tip of the nose, and large flakes of white snowflakes suddenly fell from the sky, quickly covering the surrounding world in white.

However, none of the pedestrians who walked hurriedly appreciated the snow scene. The pedestrians passing by the street occasionally looked up, but they cursed in a low voice that the heating bill would rise again.

Jiang Shu raised his eyebrows.

He saw a homeless man shivering under the flyover in the distance, wrapped in thin quilts and cotton clothes.

The lips of many of them have been turned blue from the cold, and sticky blood oozes from the cracked lips.

Tonight, I don't know how many of these guys can make it through... Jiang Shu sighed, looked away, and looked at the Bank of Houston not far in front of him.

After brushing the snowflakes off his clothes with his hands, Jiang Shu pushed open the transparent glass door and walked into the lobby of this rather large bank.

The Bank of Houston was originally a commercial bank invested by the municipal government.

Under the paving protection of the city government, the Bank of Houston quickly rose to become the largest financial institution in the Emerald City, and opened its own branches all over the Emerald City, and even opened outlets in other super cities.

A huge money-absorbing institution was born.

Who wouldn't be envious of an old hen that can lay golden eggs?
Therefore, in the midst of open and secret struggles and black-box manipulation among the super companies, the Bank of Houston was sold to Military Chemicals at a very low price 15 years ago.

Other super companies have received great concessions and compromises from the military industry and chemical industry in other aspects.

For example, all the weapons orders of the Security Department and the City Defense Force were provided by Military Chemicals. In order to get the Bank of Houston, Military Chemicals spit out this order to Osaka Military Industry.

It is rumored that in order to gain the support of the directors of other super companies, even the black gold veins on the bad soil, military industry and chemical industry have sold several.

After quickly going through the ins and outs of the Bank of Houston in his mind, Jiang Shu began to look at the bank lobby.

Pushing open the glass door of the bank, you can see the administrative desk tens of meters away.

Behind the administrative desk, there are seven or eight pretty young women, dressed in uniforms and working attire, receiving many people who inquire about financial services.

The ground of the entire bank is covered with tan wooden floors.

Looking up to the top of the head, you can see a huge opaque glass, covering the bank like a semicircular pot lid.

There are many strange patterns and characters engraved on the glass, and the dim five-color light is reflected in the reflection of the bright daytime lights in the bank, which looks strange and beautiful.

Although the entire bank is full of retro style, high-tech applications can still be seen everywhere in the bank.

The ubiquitous projection drones put all kinds of financial products in front of people, which is annoying.

Everyone who walks into the lobby will be followed by a ground-based service robot to facilitate one-on-one simple business handling and consultation.

At this time, Jiang Shu was followed by a white and fat robot with a round head and an inverted triangle figure.

At this time, it was whining, "Sir, if you need any service, you can ask me..."

On the left and right sides of the hall, there are two areas with the same size as the hall. One is the deposit hall and the other is the loan hall.

After recalling the information sent by Zhou Shi, Jiang Shu turned left and walked into the deposit hall, and sat down casually in the rest area.

Soon, a service robot automatically walked up to Jiang Shu and put down a glass of pure water.

Tsk tsk, this service is okay... Jiang Shu raised his water glass and looked around.

According to Zhou Shi's information, the three Alsatian killers will come to this Houston bank in the Dune area around eight o'clock.

Their purpose is to take something from the bank's safe deposit box.

Zhou Shi speculates that there is a high probability that it is some weapons that can assist the killer in the assassination, as well as the documents that can allow them to infiltrate the central city.

As the future CEO of Anka Optics, Raphael's activities are basically in the central city.

And the security level of the central city is comparable to a military fortress to some extent.

In the central city, the patrolling armed police check the identities of the residents very frequently. Without the relevant documents, these three guys would be directly surrounded and killed by the armed forces within an hour after sneaking into the central city.

Jiang Shu sips the pure water while watching the people coming in and out around him.

And Jarvis was not idle either. He had already hacked into the bank's monitoring system and was comparing the faces of the people who entered and exited.

When the numbers on the projection clock in the hall were about to jump to 20:00, three figures in bloated down jackets and peaked caps walked into the deposit hall.

Although one of them had bent his back deliberately, Jiang Shu could still see the upturned chest at a glance.

Three people, two men and one woman.

Just kidding, it's not just nonsense that labor and management have read countless movies... Jiang Shu is a little proud at this time.

Judging by their height, these three people also looked almost identical to the information given by Zhou Shi.

After instructing Jarvis to compare the faces of the three, Jiang Shu got a positive answer from Jarvis, "Sir, their similarity is as high as 90.00% five, so we can be sure that they are the target."

Jiang Shu raised his eyebrows, and nestled himself deeper into the sofa.

With Jarvis around, he could sit back and let Jarvis tell him the movements and details of the three of them, thereby reducing the possibility of himself being exposed to these guys.

These three people could be sent into the Emerald City by Mick Alsace to carry out the assassination, so they must have extremely strong anti-reconnaissance capabilities.

Be careful sailing for thousands of years, this sentence is always true.
