Chapter 217 The thief’s tricks
Bang, bang, bang!
At the training center, Link did half an hour of rope skipping training, one hour of weight training, and two hours of boxing practice. He was covered in sweat and his body became exhausted.
However, the physical and mental discomfort caused by jet lag and long flights were also alleviated during training, and the whole person became more relaxed.
When I came out of the training center, night had fallen on the banks of the Thames River in London.
In the daytime, the streets are bustling with traffic and advertising signs line both sides. It feels like London is not much different from New York or Los Angeles.
But at night, everything becomes different.
There are almost no cars near London Bridge, but it has become bustling with pedestrians and tourists.
There are traces of tourists everywhere on the Tower Bridge, on the embankment of the Thames, and on the ships on the river.
Those ancient buildings that have survived the long history, such as the Shard, the Walkie Talkie Building, the Tower of London, the London Eye, Big Ben, and the Gherkin, all show their majestic appearance under the neon lights.
London at night is five or six hundred years older than during the day.
Link took out his mobile phone and stood on the bank of the Thames River, taking a few photos of the Tower Bridge in front of him. The pixels of the mobile phone were average, and the photos taken were relatively blurry, but the delicate and elegant outline of the Tower Bridge could be vaguely seen.
He sent the photo to Taylor, Selena and Evaka.
The difference between London and New York is five hours, and the difference between London and Los Angeles is eight hours. It is still daytime in the United States at this time.
After Selena saw the photos, she yelled that they were so beautiful and asked him to take a few more photos. In the end, the more she looked at them, the more excited she became and said she wanted to come to London to play.
He was also asked to intercede with Catherine and Mandy. He was their boss and they dared not disobey them.
This is of course not possible. She is busy promoting her new album and has no time to come over at the moment.
Link promised to bring her over next time he held a concert.
Ivaca also responded to the message, but replied lightly, "The scenery is good, but the shooting skills need to be improved," like a photography teacher correcting his homework.
Then he added, "British paparazzi are crazy, don't mess around there." This seriously doubted his character.
Tyler responded slowly, asking who he was playing with?
Link replied that many people, Anna, Wallace, Bob, and members of the training team, decided to take a night trip to the Thames.
Taylor replied that she spent two days in London last year and suggested that he go to Waterloo Bridge. It was the filming location of the old movie "The Bridge". The scenery was very good at night, but the wind on the river was a bit cool in September. , let him wear a coat before going.
Link said that he knew it. He also selected four of the many photos that he thought were the most beautiful and posted them on Twitter.
His Twitter followers currently number 11.2 million, making him one of the users with the largest number of Twitter followers.
After the photo was released, fans responded enthusiastically. In less than three minutes, the number of likes exceeded 30,000, and the number of comments skyrocketed.
Most of them praised London for being so beautiful at night and really wanted to travel to London.
Some people also asked him why he went to London to hold a concert?
Link replied that he would come to London for a boxing match.
Soon fans were cheering for him online, hoping that he could get all the gold belts and give them to everyone to draw.
Some people commented that his shooting skills and the pixels of his mobile phone were average, and advised him to switch to a digital camera. Some people asked him to appear in the photo and wanted to see a photo of him standing on the bank of the Thames.
Link felt that these people were asking for too much.
“Boss, the police station called and asked if you are on the Tower Bridge side. If I am advising you to go back early, there are many fans rushing this way. There are many people at night and unsafe incidents may occur.”
Ana said as she put away the phone.
Link smiled helplessly. He was just sending photos and forgot that he was a big star.
He noticed that there were indeed many young people on Tower Bridge heading in this direction, so he could only change his night tour plan and get on the bus back to the hotel in advance.

In a small cafe not far from Tower Bridge, reporter Bernard Gehry looked through the camera lens and saw Link getting into the business car, picked up the phone on the table and said:
"Biggs! Attention! Link is about to return to the hotel. You should find a way to follow him and find out which floor and room number he lives on."
“.His ha~”
“Damn it, what are you doing?”
“Hey, it’s nothing, I took a sip.”
Chloro Biggs said with a strange smile.
Gary gritted his teeth and cursed Farke secretly, "Biggs, Link is a big fish. If you want to get money, you'd better be more serious about it."
“Hehe, I understand, I understand that I am taking drugs at this time to work better, not to be lazy.”
"Okay, Link will go back to the hotel soon. You can find a way to follow him, or ask the waiter to find out his room number. We must keep an eye on him to avoid missing this big fish."
“Hey, don’t worry, with my master thief Biggs here, not only can I find out the room number, but I can also find out for you what color underwear Link is wearing and what type of condom he is using.”
“Notify me of news.”
Gary didn't talk nonsense to him, hung up the phone and called James Ryder again, asking him if he had infiltrated Link's security team.
Police Officer Ryder replied that no, but he took the initiative to apply for overtime and is now assigned to patrol outside the Tower of London Hotel.
Gary said it was very good and asked him to keep an eye on the door of the hotel and notify him in time if he saw any suspicious vehicles or women wearing sunglasses and hats. Gary called Detective Charlotte again to inquire.
Charlotte said that Emma went out in the afternoon, walked around the shopping mall, bought more than ten sets of fashion clothes, and then returned to the apartment. There was no movement for the time being.
"very good!"
Gally hung up the phone and drove to the Tower of London Hotel.

“Hey, good evening, Mr. Baker!”
As soon as Link returned to the hotel lobby, a man in a suit took off his hat and said hello to him. The man was thin and his mouth showed a few burnt yellow rotten teeth.
In the movie "The Fighter", Dick, played by Christian Bale, is a drug addict and also has rotten teeth. After quitting drugs, his teeth slowly turned white.
Seeing these teeth, Link knew that the other person was probably not a serious person.
"Good morning sir!"
Link responded politely.
"Mr. Baker, my daughter Alice is a fan of yours. She likes your songs very much. When I went out today, she specifically told me that if she sees you, please bring her an autograph of yours. Mr. Baker, you can ?"
Biggs took out a Link's record and said with an earnest expression.
Link looked at him in surprise, not expecting that this addict was also a good father.
He didn’t refuse. He stopped, took out a pen and wrote on it, ‘To Alice, grow up healthily and be a brave girl—Link’.
At this moment, the hotel waiter came over with a dining cart.
Link took the initiative to take a step back, and Biggs also gave in. Suddenly, he staggered and bumped towards Link. Wallace saw something was wrong and quickly blocked the two of them, reaching out to grab Biggs's hand. collar.
“Hey, man, watch out!”
Wallace held Biggs to his feet.
“Hey, sorry sir, the ground was too slippery and I couldn’t stand firm, thank you very much.”
Biggs grinned strangely.
Link shook his head and returned the record to the man. After the man left, he said to Wallace, "He seems to have put something in your trouser pocket."
Wallace touched with his hand and pulled out a small listening device.
“Fake, **** paparazzi.”
“Leave it to the police.”
Link waved his hand and walked into the elevator.
In the Internet age, communications are developed, and there are many sophisticated secret filming and eavesdropping devices on the market, which are as pervasive as little bugs.
Because of the existence of these things, Link rarely lives outside. Every time before checking into a hotel, he will check it with professional equipment to prevent it from being photographed and used for blackmail.

After Thief Biggs returned to the hotel, he turned on his computer and prepared to eavesdrop, but he heard a harsh buzzing from the monitor. He cursed **** and threw down the headphones angrily.
“Farke!”
A few years ago, in order to rob a bank, he took the initiative to learn some Internet technologies.
Relying on his superb stealing skills and computer technology, he actually made some money in those years.
But you should never get addicted to drugs.
After taking drugs, his physical and mental conditions were not as good as before. Because of this, he changed from a bank robber to a thief who slipped in and picked locks.
Although he has become a thief, his stealing skills and experience are still there.
His previous plan was to use the opportunity of signing to sneak up on Link, and then take the opportunity to put the monitor into Link's pocket.
˜The intensity of the sound coming from the monitor can be used to estimate the location of the room he is in. If you are lucky, you can also hear some important conversations.
It’s just that many things are easier to think about than done.
He didn’t expect Link to give in so quickly. Yes, before, he only thought of Link as a singer and forgot that he was also an extremely fast boxer.
Failed to put the monitor on Link, he had an idea and put it on Link's bodyguard. According to celebrity habits, bodyguards usually live next door or across the door, and Link can be found through them.
But the plan still failed.
“Link, the game has just begun, I will definitely catch you.”
Biggs was very unwilling, so he changed his clothes and hat, and went out for a walk. With good luck, he found out Link's room number, No. B25 on the sixth floor, from a drug-addled waiter.
