Rum's death soon reached Wetz. Surprised, he ordered Laurin to investigate.

Since the whole process was originally very simple, completely an accidental traffic accident, and there was no complicated relationship, Laurin quickly got the conclusion of the investigation from the operatives who were active in New York.

After listening to Laurin's report, Weitz also felt that there was no doubt that Rum was hit and killed by a car, it was just an accident

Accidents that occurred. From Val's escape to his final collision with Rum, there is no sign of man-made layout at all.

However, he still had doubts in his mind.

First of all, why did Rum go to that coffee shop? It's a long way from the location of this coffee shop to the Natural History Museum. Of course, it can't be completely ruled out that Rum went there because it was a high-end coffee shop. However, as far as Weitz knew, Rum was not a man who was particular about eating and drinking. This seems to be a bit of an inexplicable one.

Secondly, why did Rum stay at the coffee shop for so long? If it is said that Rum likes the taste of the coffee in this shop, it seems that there is no need to drink so many cups of coffee at once.

According to Weitz, it is more likely that Rum was either waiting for someone or spying on someone at the time. If it's the latter, it could mean that rum's investigation has made some discoveries. Of course, it is also possible that he is spying on a suspect he encounters by chance for other reasons.

Assuming that the person Rum was watching was the person he had come into contact with before his death, the next question is, where did Rum find this man? Was Rum already sure or was he merely suspicious?

Moreover, if the person Rum was spying on was not the person who had contact with Rum before his death, or if he was waiting for someone, then the above questions were destined to have no answer.

With this in mind, Wetz also felt that he had fallen into skepticism. Although it seems that there is a direction for further investigation, there is no way to start. In the end, out of the idea of having a date or not, he still asked Laurin to arrange for someone to investigate Rum's movements in the Natural History Museum.

Li Jingwei didn't know that the treacherous and cunning Weitz would have such an arrangement. Although Rum is dead, the danger of his being targeted remains. This is because, if you can find out the trajectory of Rum's movements in the Natural History Museum, you will eventually suspect him.

Fortunately, later developments showed that Laurin's arranger was very ineffective, and after a brief inquiry at the Natural History Museum, the matter was hastily settled. At this point, the danger of Li Jingwei being targeted was lifted. Of course, Li Jingwei didn't know about these.

After Kelly moved out, no one prepared dinner for Li Jingwei anymore. Just like today, Li Jingwei has to prepare himself.

Fortunately, before leaving, Kelly bought Li Jingwei's favorite vegetables and fruits, as well as ready-made sandwiches, etc., and stuffed the entire refrigerator to the brim. Therefore, there is no need for Li Jingwei to go to the supermarket to buy ingredients today.

While eating, Li Jingwei learned from the financial news that the Wall Street stock market crashed today. The Asian and European stock markets that opened later also fell across the board, investors were at risk, and the global capital markets were in a panic.

Although Li Jingwei firmly believes that the stock market will fall sharply in the near future, today's market decline still shocks him. By the end of the day, the S&P 500 and the Dow Jones Industrial Average were down more than 30%. And some individual stocks even fell by more than 80%.

S&P 500 futures fell even more than the index, falling by more than 50%, from about 3,200 points when Li Jingwei sold last night to about 1,560 points. This shows that investors are still generally bearish on the market outlook.

In one day, the wind of the entire stock market completely reversed, and the market was filled with pessimism. The securities analysts, who turned out to be long, either disappeared or began to justify their forecasts.

However, all justifications pale in comparison, and numerous investors have suffered huge losses, some of which have lost all their money.

This is the market, a market where you have to be willing to gamble and lose.

Today, S&P 500 futures have fallen far more than Li expected. Although the market may fall further in the future, Li Jingwei does not continue to chase that part of the gains.

Moreover, after the fall, an upward correction is not ruled out. For Li Jingwei, since he is short selling, the upward adjustment means that the special income will decline.

So, he decided to close his position. He never imagined that the market would fall so quickly and so violently. Since the market's reaction has exceeded its expectations, it is a rational choice to stay away from the market. In particular, for him, the current gains are already very impressive.

Based on the current decline in S&P 500 futures, the yield per lot has reached as much as $800,000. Li Jingwei holds more than 1,000 hands, and if he closes his position at the current level, the income will be as high as more than 800 million US dollars.

In a day or two, Li Jingwei was able to achieve such a high income, and Li Jingwei was already very satisfied. Therefore, he chose to leave the field decisively.

In many cases, people are dominated by desire. After making some money, there is often a desire to make more money.

Lust is often endless. It's easy to say, but it's very difficult to actually do it, especially when it comes to making money.

Although Li Jingwei tried his best to keep himself calm, he was still a little excited to earn more than $800 million in such a short period of time. Therefore, after he closed the position he held, he still felt that it was a little untrue.

At this moment, Li Jingwei's mobile phone rang. He saw that it was an unfamiliar number, and he was going to hang up, but after noticing that it was from Huaxia, he answered the phone.

"Junior brother, I'm Xu Rongkun, remember? I told you that my daughter Xu Wenyi was admitted to Harvard Medical School. ”

Before Li Jingwei could speak, Xu Rongkun's voice came from the other end of the phone. He immediately reacted that this was the senior he met when he attended the celebration of Puhai Middle School. At that time, Xu Rongkun introduced that his daughter was admitted to Harvard University.

For Xu Rongkun's daughter Xu Wenyi, Li Jingwei was very impressed. This girl was able to be admitted to Harvard Medical School and receive a full scholarship, which can be said to be outstanding.

At that time, Li Jingwei and Xu Rongkun exchanged business cards and promised to help take care of his daughter.

"Of course I do. Hello, senior!" Li Jingwei replied with a smile.

For his daughter to be admitted to Harvard Medical School, Xu Rongkun feels that Bei'er has face. Originally, he planned to personally send her to report for duty, but his daughter refused. The daughter said that she wanted to go to the end of the world alone.

It's okay to say if it's a son, but Xu Rongkun can't rest assured about his smart and beautiful daughter. He remembered that he met this younger brother named Li Jingwei at the celebration of his alma mater, who worked at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and was very close to Harvard, so he wanted to ask him to pick him up.

"That's right, junior brother, isn't my daughter about to start school, she wanted to come over in advance to familiarize herself with the situation, but she didn't let me send it. So, I want to trouble you to pick it up, brother. Xu Rongkun was not polite and said directly.

"Yes. When will she arrive?" replied Li Jingwei briskly.

"According to your time there, it should be around 11 a.m. tomorrow. I'll text you the flight information shortly. Xu Rongkun said happily: "It won't affect your work, right? If you're busy, let your students pick it up." ”

"It's okay, I'll be right tomorrow. You can rest assured. Li Jingwei said.

The two chatted for a while before hanging up.

Xu Rongkun's phone call made Li Jingwei, who was originally a little excited after making money, completely calmed down. He imported the photos taken at the Natural History Museum into his computer and prepared to analyze the stone carvings to see if he could find anything from them.

Since the stone carvings come from 12 different regions in Africa, Li Jingwei decided to analyze the stone carvings in each place separately. In doing so, the amount of computation required by the computer will be greatly reduced. At the same time, you can avoid the confusion that can result from mixing patterns together. Because, the stone carving symbols in each area are likely to be combined according to different rules.

The results of the analysis came out quickly, and the stone carving symbols were in groups of five, showing obvious regularity. But the difficulty is that Li Jingwei doesn't know the meaning of each conformity, and naturally he doesn't know what the combination represents. He also found that the stone carvings in twelve different areas showed the same regularity.

This is a bit puzzling. According to the museum, these stone carvings are from twelve different tribal regions, how can they have the same regularity.

Suddenly, Li Jingwei thought of the Yamato code that Tokugawa Keiko said. This kind of cipher adopts a group of five symbols, and each symbol has seven transformations. So, can we use the compilation method of the Yamato cipher to decipher these stone carved symbols?

He remembered that during a visit to the museum, Keiko once tried to crack it with the compilation method of the Yamato cipher. However, due to the computational complexity involved, coupled with the lack of knowledge of the specific meaning of the symbol, no results were obtained. Now, you can use a computer analysis program to give it a try.

Li Jingwei quickly got the results of the computer's analysis, but to his disappointment, these African stone carved symbols did not meet the compilation rules of the Yamato cipher.

At this time, Li Jingwei suddenly had an inspiration and decided to use the compilation method of the Yamato cipher to try to analyze the symbols on the treasure map. The password for the treasure map was left by the Japanese, and it may be possible to use the secret compilation method created by the Japanese.

The results of computer analysis once again disappointed Li Jingwei. There are only four symbols on the treasure map, and the compilation rules of the Yamato cipher are directly applied, and no results are obtained. Then he was relieved that the Yamato cipher included five different symbols, and naturally it could not be cracked using its compilation rules.

"What if you add a symbol?" Li Jingwei said to himself. However, as soon as he finished speaking, he immediately realized that he had found the problem.

Because, his previous analysis showed that the symbols on the treasure map are likely to be five, and each symbol may have seven transformations. This is exactly in line with the compilation rules of Yamato ciphers.

Subsequently, Li Jingwei adopted the compilation rules of the Yamato cipher, set to add a symbol and embed it according to this rule, and the result was completely consistent.

Now, he was convinced that the password to the treasure map in his hand was written according to the rules of the Yamato cipher, but a symbol had been artificially removed.

So, the problem has reached a dead end again. Because, Li Jingwei doesn't know what symbols have been removed, especially how the missing symbols are transformed in different positions.

Li Jingwei looked at the treasure map in his hand and couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly. Now, he's helpless. Unless you can conjure up the missing symbol, it's impossible to crack it.
