****************

After a whole day of noisy museums, calm has returned to normal, and the museum guards began to patrol the museum on time and on time.

The museum's security is much higher than that of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and it is equipped with a very advanced eye alarm system, which is said to have cost millions of pounds to install.

Jin Muchen hid above the ceiling of the toilet, this is the place where he has stepped on it a long time ago, and it belongs to the absolute monitoring blind spot.

Because many of the antiques in the museum have particularly high temperature and humidity requirements for storage, the British Museum has installed a very advanced air conditioning and ventilation system.

Not only can it automatically adjust the temperature in the museum, but also the humidity of the air, so a very wide duct ventilation system is installed above the ceiling of the museum, and this system is cleaned regularly.

As for Jin Muchen, choosing to hide here was just right, when he entered the toilet, it was empty, so he immediately turned into a state of stealth and hid in the ventilation duct above the ceiling.

Although the alarm system in the British Museum is very advanced, they have not installed the most advanced infrared sensing equipment in the ventilation duct as in the movie.

In fact, the infrared sensing equipment specially installed in the ventilation duct on the movie is purely made up by those directors and screenwriters.

In the real world, unless there's something wrong with the brain, no one will install any infrared there. Or a laser alarm system.

Because we all know that the world is not just for us. There are also many other mammals that live. Among them are the most annoying rodents, the rats.

Nowadays, even if you have advanced pesticide technology, it is impossible to exterminate all the rats, so it is inevitable that there will be this kind of biological activity in any building.

And in reinforced concrete buildings, the most popular channel for these rats to move around is the kind of water ventilation pipe, so if you want to install some alarm system in the ventilation duct. I'm afraid that the alarm received in one night can exhaust people to death, so unless you have abundant human resources to the point that they can be wasted at will, otherwise no one will choose to install an alarm system in the ventilation duct.

So Jin Muchen chose to hide here, there is a lot of space here, and it is very safe.

The time when the cleaners left was about eleven o'clock in the evening, but Jin Muchen was not in a hurry to get down and act, and still hid on the ceiling, because this time was not the time when people were most tired. It is also the time when the guards are most concentrated.

If you want to get your hands dirty, it's best to wait until the middle of the night. Because that time happened to be the most mentally tired time for human beings, and after the first half of the night of boredom, the work attitude of those guards was inevitably a little lax.

Tonight is the day of the Champions Cup, and there are several big teams in the city of London, and the game is late, maybe the guards will slip away.

All you have to do is be patient and keep waiting.

After twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, Jin Muchen opened the lid of the ceiling ventilation pipe, jumped down lightly from the inside, and then put the lid back in place.

He quietly opened the toilet door and looked outside, but there was no empty figure.

During the day, there are about 1,000 people in the museum, but at night, there are only a few security guards on duty here.

After all, it is open to the public for free, and it usually maintains its operations, partly by government grants, partly by donations, partly by its own operations, and finally by the investments of those invisible shareholders behind them.

Because of this, the museum will be careful to reduce expenses as much as possible, so the number of guards on duty here at night is not large, probably only a dozen people.

The museum is about four kilometers away, and it is quite difficult to rely on a dozen guards to take care of the security.

And since its establishment, the British Museum has experienced many thefts for more than 250 years, the earliest theft can be traced back to 1900, and then in 1993, 1997, 2002 and 2004, respectively, several thefts.

The losses of those thefts were not very large, only an ancient Persian book stolen in 1997 can be said to be priceless, and the price has not been estimated.

The other thefts resulted in the loss of antiques ranging from about £5,000 to $1,000,000.

However, in September and October 2004, the British Museum was robbed twice, and both of these robberies were somewhat bizarre.

The British Museum has upgraded its security facilities since the beginning of the new millennium, and according to them, they have installed a very advanced WT alarm system.

This is a so-called state-of-the-art security alarm system, belonging to the world's first-class anti-theft facilities, it has a series of functions such as camera, scanning, dark exposure, infrared tracking, low-angle submersible shooting, etc., which can detect the suspect's suspicious behavior in time, and can accurately put the image into the mirror and convey it to the duty room.

That is to say, even if the police officer on duty blinks or takes a nap, he is not afraid of accidents, because the electronic eyes of this WT alarm system will never close their eyes and take a nap, which is a set of all-weather all-round monitoring system, and there will be no mistakes in every second.

But under such a boasted and miraculous alarm system, one day in September, a group of thieves, using the simplest tools such as knives, pliers, cones, chisels, etc., stole nine cultural relics from a closed display case in the China Pavilion, but fortunately, the value of these nine cultural relics was not very high, and it was worth about 110,000 US dollars at that time.

Just when the British Museum was glad that the thieves were not knowledgeable, two weeks later, another group of thieves visited the museum again.

Also in broad daylight, also in the Chinese Pavilion, also for a closed display case, the same use of the simplest tools, this time the thieves stole a total of fifteen exhibits, mainly the type of antique jewelry in ancient China, the specific value, until now, the museum has not been announced.

This shows how ridiculous the WT alarm system that the British Museum boasts is.

Before coming here, Jin Muchen had done a detailed homework, especially a deep understanding of the alarm system here, and he was still a little weak when he first knew about the WT system, but when he knew that someone was actually in the daytime, under the nose of this system, after the two successful crimes, he was relieved, what kind of bullshit alarm system this is, and he didn't know how many kickbacks the person who was responsible for purchasing this system ate at the beginning.

And the most advanced Sky Eye system, bullshit! This is a blind system!

But even so, now that a decade has passed, who knows if they have made any improvements to their system? Jin Muchen decided that it would be better for him to be careful.

And he came here to make trouble in the Heavenly Palace this time, because it involves the secrets of the purple jade space, so the whole crime process is better not to be photographed by the monitoring system, so he plans to go to the monitoring room to have a look first.

On the north side of the first floor is the surveillance room of the entire museum, and he has a lot of experience with such a ransack since the last Boston case.

The purpose of his coming here this time is different from those petty thieves who have been here before, but he wants to do a big job, so the guards here must be controlled, and in order to deal with these guys, he has prepared very sufficient ammunition.

The last time they were in Boston with Jesse, their biggest problem was how to infiltrate the museum, but this time he didn't have to worry about it, because this time he already had stealth skills.

When he came out of the toilet, he swaggered through the museum, and even if the other party had a super surveillance system, he could not be seen.

Talking about what happens to the WT system even if the other party has it? The two thefts in 2004 happened not at night, but in broad daylight, and the system was not just blind?

If it weren't for the fact that Jin Muchen wanted to move too many targets this time, he wouldn't mind and would do it here during the day.

He swaggered to the door of the surveillance room, where the door was unlocked, and a guard was standing in the doorway smoking.

That's right, it is to stand at the door and smoke, you must know that in the United Kingdom, where smoking is very strict, few people dare to smoke indoors, after all, there are very advanced electronic monitoring systems in the house, once you feel the smoke, it will trigger an automatic fire extinguishing device, and it will also attract firefighting, which is troublesome.

But the man apparently didn't care, and it didn't seem like the first time he had done so.

In the guardhouse, there were a few other guys, sitting around a long table, playing cards and chatting and fartizing, talking about nothing more than the Champions Cup match that had just ended a few hours earlier.

There were still a few beers on the table, and there were even more unopened beers on the floor, and it seemed that the guys were used to working in such an environment.

Obviously, according to normal procedure, these security guards would not be allowed to drink alcohol while working, but they obviously didn't care, and no one would report it.

After all, in their opinion, this museum is safe enough, who would run here at night to steal, do you think you are those agents in "Mission Impossible"?

That's why their attitude is so lax, but this just fits Jin Muchen's mind. (To be continued......)
