POST 732 16 – THE INSIGNIFICANT-LOOKING MAN On the train, Lam-Tieu, the
shopkeeper, discreetly observed the other passengers. He kept his bag on his
lap, although the seat next to him was empty. He did not want to lose sight
of its gold reserve, approximately two kilograms divided into sixty sachets
called lang. In Vietnam, as in other countries of monetary instability,
people buy gold to build their economies. It is very easy to buy gold in
specialty shops or jewellers, as small platelets contained in lang, sachets
of approximately thirty two grams of gold. That way, it can easily be resold
when needed. Common people do not buy gold certificates in the banks because
they do not trust the banking system. While handicraft is relatively cheap in
Vietnam, rich people can have solid objects made of gold, such as seals,
turtles, vases or other ornaments they can hide in their home. Less wealthy
people can keep gold in the form of jewellery such as rings, necklaces,
bracelets or earrings. Lulled by the monotonous movement of
the train and exhausted by the events of recent days, Lam-Tieu soon fell
asleep. Behind him, the insignificant-looking man, who got into the train at
the last minute, was instead very alert! Meanwhile, in the hotel room on
Ba-Trieu Street in Hanoi, Clara and Thu-Lan continued examining the documents
of master Dinh-Mai. They talked freely oblivious to Clara’s bag placed on a
small table next to them, in which a microphone had been planted. Clara: "This document is about
the genealogy of the Dinh family, but here I read about the Nguyen family of
the Cam-Giang district. It's strange because it seems that a strong bond
links the two families Dinh and Nguyen, but I can't find any alliance by
marriage." Thu-Lan: "Yes, indeed it is
unusual to provide information about another family who is not related by
marriage to one's own." Clara: "I don’t know whether this
custom existed in Vietnam, but in Japan, two samurais considered themselves
as brothers if they were close friends and served the same shogun. This might
be a possible explanation." Somewhere else in Hanoi, Nguyen-Luc,
the slim policeman, was listening to this conversation with utmost interest.
His face was full of astonishment, as if that conversation was explaining
something he had been looking for a long time. A sudden jolt of the train woke up
Lam-Tieu with a start. With horror, he realized that his bag had disappeared
from his lap. Panicked, he looked around him.
