Chapter 7: Trending on Search, the Whole Internet Speculates!

Did he not even take them seriously?

What does this mean?

As soon as Liu Xuemin said this, the other four experts looked over, completely unaware of why this veteran criminal investigator would say such a thing.

The next second, before anyone else could speak, Liu Xuemin said again:

"Everyone, when we first entered this room, I noticed a small detail."

"What detail?" Zhu Guowei, standing nearby, asked softly.

Liu Xuemin glanced at him, smiled slightly, and said:

"I don't know if you all have noticed, but when we were investigating the participant preparation rooms of other contestants, we found traces of cleaning to varying degrees throughout the scene. Some people wiped away their footprints and fingerprints, while others completely cleared the data on their computers and their crime plans. Those who come to participate in this show are all people who have great confidence in their own Crime Talent. Everyone here doesn't deny this, right?"

"But this Participant 99 preparation room is an exception."

"Look, many items here are exactly as they were when he was here—footprints, fingerprints, including the writing on the whiteboard, all kept in their original state. As a person with such high intelligence, how could he not think of cleaning up the scene?"

Liu Xuemin's words were like a bombshell, and as they exploded, they instantly made the four experts suddenly realize!

And just at this moment.

The barrage in the live broadcast room also began to scroll frantically:

【My god, this guy...】

【Holy crap, is this guy this arrogant? Daring to provoke the Pursuit Team like this?】

【666, Liu Lao is worthy of being a veteran criminal investigator; this observation skill is truly amazing!】

【What did you expect? Our Teacher Liu is one of the Criminal Investigation Eight Tigers of Huaxia, a hall-of-fame level criminal investigation master!】

【I couldn't tell, is this handsome contestant actually a tough character?】

【I still haven't figured out what this Chu Chen is trying to do...】

【I told you all long ago, don't be fooled by this guy's looks! This brother has real skills!】

Inside the live broadcast room, opinions were divided!

On this side, after hearing Liu Xuemin's words, Chen Zijin spoke up: "So, your meaning is that he left this for us to see on purpose?"

Liu Xuemin nodded and continued: "That's right."

"Why would he do that?" Chen Zijin asked again.

"It's not clear yet, but I have a hunch that what he is planning will definitely exceed our expectations. Right now, this Chu Chen hasn't officially started committing crimes, and we don't have the authority to investigate yet, but I'll say it again: this contestant is absolutely worth our attention."

Just as Liu Xuemin finished speaking, Lin Xu suddenly walked over to report:

"Teacher Liu, I just found some clues on his computer. Before leaving, he used this computer to look up information related to Hua Mo Bank and even logged into the bank's official website..."

"Hua Mo Bank?"

"That's right, Hua Mo Bank. I looked it up; this bank is a cross-border investment bank jointly founded by Bank of China and Bank of Mexico, with its headquarters in San Luis Potosi, Mexico. Its purpose is to improve the overseas liquidity of Huaxia Yuan. This bank was only established last year and has received a lot of attention from domestic and foreign media."

After Lin Xu finished speaking, Zhu Guowei, who had been silent, suddenly asked: "Why is he so focused on this bank?"

Lin Xu shook his head: "I don't know, but one thing is certain: our No. 99 Contestant must be very interested in this bank."

Hearing this, Wang Ruomei chimed in half-jokingly: "Our No. 99 Contestant, he isn't going to rob a bank, is he?"

Chen Zijin smiled: "Probably not, this is an overseas bank."

"Could it be related to this 'Earth Awakening'?"

Liu Xuemin suddenly spoke up.

The next second, he pointed to "Earth Awakening" on the whiteboard and said in a deep voice again: "Look, among these eight sentences, only this one was circled by him."

Zhu Guowei: "It really is. But the question is, what kind of connection exists between these two clues?"

Liu Xuemin shook his head: "I don't know, but I believe that as long as he starts committing crimes, these two clues should be able to become our main investigation directions!"

【I am looking forward to the first crime of No. 99 Contestant more and more!】

【I am looking forward to it too!】

【Me too! I really want to see what earth-shattering event this guy can pull off after playing mysterious for so long!】

【Am I the only one who is a fan of Chu Chen's looks?】

【Look-fan #1!】

【Me too, sister!】

【Go for it, little brother! Always supporting you!】
