Chapter 300: If Nothing Goes Wrong, These Banks Are in Trouble!

"Dr. Li, what does this sentence mean?"

Looking at this Chinese sentence on the mirror, Wesley asked in a low voice.

Li Changyu did not know how to explain it to him, so he could only translate the literal meaning for him: "Chu Chen was here."

"So that's it... Why would he leave such a sentence? Could it be that this sentence has some special meaning in the context of the Chinese language?"

Because Wesley did not understand Chinese and had never read *Journey to the West*, he naturally did not know the special meaning of this sentence.

In his view, this seemed no different from "checking in" in English.

"Have you heard of the story of the Monkey King causing havoc in Tiangong?" Li Changyu asked him, tilting his head.

"I've heard a little bit," Wesley replied thoughtfully.

Li Changyu continued: "Five hundred years ago, Sun Wukong caused havoc in Tiangong. Yuhuang Dadi and a host of other immortals were helpless against him and could only go to Xitian to ask Rulai Fozu for help. Above Tianting, Sun Wukong made a bet with Rulai Fozu on whether he could escape from the palm of the Buddha's hand. After he somersaulted one hundred and eight thousand li, he saw five pillars and thought they were the pillars of heaven standing at the edge of the world, so he urinated and left a message: 'Sun Wukong was here,' as proof. But when he returned, he learned that these five pillars were actually the Buddha's fingers, and that message was clearly visible. Later, Sun Wukong, having lost the bet, was pressed under Wuzhishan by the Buddha for five hundred years, until the monk Xuanzang went to Xitian to retrieve the scriptures and he was finally released..."

"Based on this allusion, Huaxia people always use this sentence to indicate that they have been somewhere. But here, this sentence has another layer of meaning. As a representative of challenging authority, Sun Wukong happens to coincide with Chu Chen's current identity. His original intention in leaving this sentence here is also to provoke us..."

After Li Changyu's explanation, the foreign police officers present finally understood the deeper meaning of this sentence.

"What an arrogant guy..." Wesley sighed.

"This is his consistent style," Liu Xuemin said while staring at the mirror.

"He must have guessed that we would track him here, which is why he left this sentence..." Dr. Li interjected.

"So, the clues in the videotape were actually left by him on purpose?" Wesley muttered to himself.

Liu Xuemin shook his head and sighed: "Based on this alone, we cannot draw a conclusion yet, but I think that even if that clue wasn't left intentionally, he would still make something of this place to interfere with our investigation, because such an approach is very consistent with his criminal profile."

In fact, Chu Chen hadn't thought that much; the reason he left this sentence was just to play a joke on the Pursuit Team. As for whether they could see it, he didn't care.

And in fact, that was indeed the case.

After their careful search, apart from this sentence, no valuable clues were found.

Not even a single hair was discovered!

Without a doubt, before leaving, he must have wiped away all traces of his existence in this room!

Leaving the bathroom, the group came to the floor-to-ceiling windows of the reception hall.

Looking at the London street scene filled with high-rise buildings outside the window, Wesley lit his pipe again, and with a heavy gaze, asked the group in a low voice: "Why do you think he chose this room in this hotel?"

The floor of this room was high enough; standing here was enough to overlook the entire city center of London!

"Could his next target for crime be one of these high-rise buildings... From here, we can clearly observe the Yinggelan Guojia Yinhang, the Yingguo Huangjia Yinhang, the Zhada Yinhang, the Lundun Jinrongcheng, and even the British Museum can be seen clearly..."

Wesley's words were like a bomb with a lit fuse, instantly attracting the attention of those around him.

Several experts looked at him one after another.

Li Changyu spoke first: "You mean his next target is likely within our field of vision?"

"Yes, otherwise, why would he choose this place as his hideout? He must have stood here more than once to observe his targets, just like we are doing now!"

【Damn, this Detective has some skills!】

【This deduction is very reliable!】

【Makes sense!】

【If nothing goes wrong, these banks in Yingguo are going to suffer!】

【Bold prediction: the stocks of these banks will definitely hit the limit down tomorrow!】

【Haha, pretty much!】

"Then which of these banks do you think is more likely to be his next target?" After Wesley finished speaking, Zhou Yun suddenly asked from the side.

Hearing this, Wesley shook his head: "I don't know. We can only investigate them one by one. If his actions are punctual, as long as we find clues, we will definitely be able to find something."

"In that case, Chen Xiong and I will take some people to go right now and check these banks you mentioned from the inside out."

"Yes, that will be hard work for you both. Contact us as soon as you find anything."

"Alright!"

After saying this, the two of them took their men and left.

Immediately after, the others left one after another and returned to the Police Headquarters.

Meanwhile.

On Chu Chen's side.

During these days of disappearance, he was still lurking in the city center of London, preparing for the upcoming operation—stealing from the British Museum!

When the group of experts met in London, he had actually already completed the theft of the British Museum a step ahead, and had replaced all the artifacts obtained through irregular channels inside with fakes!

For an ordinary thief, approaching the British Museum might not be an easy task, but for Chu Chen, this was not difficult at all.

On the day he left the hotel, he used an identity stolen by the system to sneak into the museum and hypnotized the curator and security personnel, making them shut down the museum's security system!

For Chu Chen, a museum without a security system was like a vegetable market; he could come and go as he pleased.

Taking advantage of this convenience, he kidnapped the person in charge of artifact maintenance and management and disguised himself as them.

Under this operation, he had the system replicate a batch of identical artifacts, then openly placed them in the display cases and took away the genuine ones.

And these stolen genuine items had already been shipped to various countries overnight via shipping containers!

As for those fakes, he had coated them all with a layer of special magic powder and put them back into the sealed display boxes!

These powders would spontaneously combust as soon as they encountered air.

At that time, as long as Chu Chen activated the mechanism on the display box to let air inside!

Those artifacts would silently combust and disappear without a trace, leaving nothing behind!
