Chapter 178: Turning Decay into Legend (8)
"Do you usually hide your secrets in your heart, or somewhere?" "Hmm... Of course, it is hidden in places that others can't think of, and you may forget. For example...""You say, I'll wait." "Why should I tell you? ”
At 8:45 a.m. on July 9, all of them arrived at Sinya's house and began to discuss the fifth puzzle that had been discovered the previous night. As for the long puzzles, everyone has their own ideas, and they don't want to be so confused when they dealt with the two short puzzles yesterday.
"By the way, does this puzzle actually point to a place that is hidden deep and hard to find?" (River)
"Aren't you the same as you didn't say?" (Kalifi)
"It's better than if you don't go on and talk about the secret place. (River)
"That's... Is it possible to understand that it exists somewhere in the city, and the light can't find it?" (Ammilo)
"Na, look at other people, this is called useful clues, learn more. (River)
"Hey... You're forcing me to break up with you, aren't you?" (Kalifi)
"The light doesn't shine, and it has to be a place where no one notices, and there's a certain depth..."
"Actually, the scope can be shortened even more, because since it mentions 'night falls', then it means that this place is at night, after work, when the lights of the work unit are dimmed... In other words, except for residential areas, except for storefronts that are only open at night, street lights, and places that cannot be illuminated. (Talivi)
After everyone's reasoning, the range did decrease step by step, although Tarevi gave further reasoning information, but he couldn't be sure if it was really like this, if he was wrong like before, then he would only end up working in vain. However, the process of reasoning is like this, step by step, gradually eliminating all the wrong answers, and all that remains is the correct solution.
"If that's the case, I'd like to think...", Carifi rarely took it seriously, or for a moment, "Huanlai Resort, it's not open 24 hours, is it?"
"You're so stupid..."River really couldn't help but complain about Carifey, because Carifey hadn't realized a serious problem yet, "Although Huanlai Resort is closed at night, as an important enterprise, they will definitely arrange night patrols to investigate whether there are any things left by tourists in the resort, and the street lights in Huanlai Resort are their private property, not built in the city, they can turn on and off when they want." ”
"Hmm...... The commercial area of Sigmi Road, does it count? I mean, the ground floor of those commercial buildings. (Ammiro)
"It's possible that there are no street lights in that commercial area, and the outside is surrounded by shops, and the street lights are also on the street outside these shops, so they can't shine on the first floor inside. (Snia)
"By the way, the Tiang Road Police Station and Hospital in the Leyne District, does that dark path in the middle count?" (Carifey)
"Finally, I got the right one, and it was indeed blocked by the police station and the hospital building, and the street lights were not placed directly outside the path. (River)
"By the way, there are also the Dre Research Bureau and the Dre Laboratory, where there are places for secret research, and when Lord Carmon investigated the problem with these two institutions, it was through the secret room. (Snia)
"There is another one, Fuding Farmers' Trade Center. It's the largest farmer's market in terms of area, so the innermost part of the first floor is the place where the street lights never shine. (Ammiro)
"If you count, there are actually a few tunnels under the bridge, which are also places where the light does not shine. (River)
This time, everyone came up with a lot of possible places, and if these places were hiding secrets, there really wasn't much to discover, and there were some places that no one would notice even during the day.
"So, are we going to spread out? After all, there are only a few positions. Kalifi wanted to act now, but Sinya didn't seem to agree, as Tarevi hasn't spoken since then.
"The place we are going to is the 'Motie Prison'. When Tarevi said this, everyone was surprised, because the Motie Prison is under 24-hour martial law, so it could be a place to bury secrets?
Subsequently, Talivi also explained: "In this sentence, there is a key word, there is a problem - guan. If it is really a secret, it should be 'hidden', not 'closed', and at first I thought it was unlikely to be a Motie prison, but after thinking about it, I still thought that it was not a grammatical error, but a direct statement. After all, 'shutting up a secret', in general, is keeping a secret in one's heart, so there is nowhere to be pointed to. ”
"But how is it possible to hide secrets in a prison with 24-hour patrols?" (River)
"Of course, you can't hide secrets in an ordinary prison, but... What about the confinement chamber?" (Tarevi)
"The confinement room, is that the place where the prisoners are still imprisoned?" (Ammiro)
"That's right. A confinement chamber is an almost completely cordoned off space, where the guard cannot see what the prisoner is in confinement, but whatever he does is useless, because the confinement chamber, whether it is the exterior wall or whatever, is specially constructed. (Talivi)
"When night comes, it's even more mysterious... I see. (Snia)
"The people who are locked up there have secrets, such as why they are committing crimes and what is hidden in their hearts. In the confinement room, unless the guards open the door, they can only see the light coming in from under the crack in the door, and this light is still the light in the corridor, because the confinement room is built underneath, which is called the 'deepest'. Tarevi continued, while the others kept nodding their heads in agreement, "And now, because the Ink Iron Prison has been stormed, the security level is much worse than before, not to mention that now that the Royal Legion is in power, there will definitely not be too many prison guards left in the Ink Iron Prison." ”
"However, how are we going to enter the Ink Iron Prison? No matter how powerful Lord Carmon is, it is impossible for the entire guards in the Ink Iron Prison to cooperate with the citizens, right?" River mentioned a key question, no matter how the Ink Iron Prison is also the largest prison in the city, how can it be possible to let so many people go back and forth?
Moreover, there are still a lot of felons held inside, what if an accomplice takes the opportunity to rescue them?
"Now, I can only take a look and try my luck. Tarevi didn't know what to do, but he had to give it a go. The prison was just across the street from the neighborhood where Snya lived, so they didn't have to walk a short distance to get there. But before entering the Ink Iron Prison, Tarevi said: "The Ink Iron Prison has an order, so I should go in by myself, you wait for me outside, if there is no way, we will discuss countermeasures." "OK. ”
If a group of people approached the prison in a group, the guards would simply pull out their weapons and issue an eviction order, or even shoot them directly. Tarevi knew the rules, so he had to go on his own.
"What are you doing in the Iron Prison?" the guard asked solemnly, and Tarevi said calmly, "I'm here to find out the secrets. "You, know the secrets of the prison?" "So, I hope you will lead the way." "Take this interview post, go in and show it to the people inside, and they'll let you in." ”
It went so smoothly that Tarevi was very surprised. With the interview post, Tarevi entered the Ink Iron Prison. "Turn right at the end of the hallway, there's a staircase that leads to the bottom floor, go down and go to the end, that's it. "The guards opened the door to enter the prison after telling Tarevi directly where he was located, and after Tarevi entered, the guards closed the door.
Tarevi walked tremblingly through the prison, and for a moment, Tarevi felt like a new prisoner, a group of prisoners in the prison whistling as if to welcome the 'new cellmates'.
"Hey, boy, you're not wearing a prison uniform, you're here to check things, aren't you?" "Someone has already been here?" one of the prisoners said suddenly as Tarevi passed by his cell, and this sentence caught Tarivi's attention.
"Yes, a very cunning fellow, and a few words with him almost led me astray. I know, he solved the puzzle, how about it? Do you want to make a deal with me? I'll tell you what the next puzzle is. (Prisoner)
"What do you want? help you get out of prison?" (Tarevi)
"Hehe, that's not bad, but it's too blatant. All I need is one tweezer and two wires for me. (Prisoner)
"Is it that simple?" (Talivi)
"It's as simple as that, if you don't agree, I can find the next person, anyway, it's just such a chance. (Prisoner)
"I can understand you for a wire, but what do you want tweezers for?" (Tarevi)
"There's a big hole in the prison that hasn't been repaired yet, because there's no one to help fix it. And there were two prison guards guarding there. As for the tweezers, let me go and knock those two guards unconscious when the time comes, or... Pierced in their throats. The prisoner seemed to say it easily, not at all afraid of what Tarevi told the prison guard, "Besides, tweezers and wires are available in the workshop storage room over there, so you don't have to walk so much, how about it? ”
"Okay, I'll help you. Tarevi agreed, and the prisoner smiled, but then his smile fell, for Tarevi did not go to the workshop at all, but continued to walk towards the underground confinement cell.
Ten minutes later, Tarevi came back, and he did have something in his hand, but it was not tweezers or wire, but a cold steamed bun, and when he passed through the cage, he threw it away, and the prisoner grabbed the steamed bun with his hand, and when he broke it, he found that there was nothing in it.
"What do you mean?" the prisoner seemed a little angry, but Tarevi didn't seem to care, looking at him with contempt, "I do want to get the clues as quickly as possible and catch up with Lord Prisin's progress, but I also have my own principles and will never help others do bad things." Do you want to break out of jail? Oh, by the way, this steamed bun is three days ago, if you want to escape from prison, save some food and save some strength. ”
With that, Tarevi walked towards the prison door, not looking back at the prisoner's eyes, but the prisoner laughed when he returned to his cell bed.
