Chapter 3 [Secrets of the Family]

A small alley in the middle of nowhere, this is an old building from the eighties.

Chen Dong's house is on the third floor of this building.

It was the only inheritance left to him by the death of his parents, and he now lives in it alone.

After all, he didn't take medicine specifically for low-risk depression, so although his spirit was relaxed and he didn't feel like his whole body was going to explode, the situation didn't get much better.

He stood on the windowsill of his home, looking at the pot of cacti on the balcony, with a cigarette in his finger and letting the smoke rise.

In fact, not all people with higher IQs can mix better than others.

Because there are too many factors that affect a person's foothold in society, such as emotional intelligence, personality, hobbies, background, etc.

There is no shortage of smart people in this world, and an IQ of 163 can probably surpass 99.9% of people in society.

He took a hard puff of his cigarette and slowly exhaled it.

His brain can't stop analyzing everything he sees, analyzing the ingredients in the smoke, including the harmful components in it.

This means that he knows better than anyone that his actions are actually equivalent to chronic suicide.

But who the doesn't know?

Chen Dong showed a mocking expression, he had been teaching himself psychology since high school.

Probably the subconscious mind is very afraid that others will know that they are sick.

In fact, people with a higher IQ will indeed be better than ordinary people if they study hard.

He has studied psychology on his own for so many years, and now he has mastered as much knowledge as a master's degree in psychology, and in some respects far surpasses those people.

For example, he has a special preference for social psychology, criminal psychology, micro-movements, and micro-expressions.

So when Chen Dong smoked for a while, he figured out a lot of things.

He knows what low-risk depression is, which is a disease in which the brain cannot filter repetitive information, but will actively refine and analyze, and will fill in the picture with the knowledge he has mastered.

If he is an expert in biology, then walking down the street and seeing all living things will give insight into each other's biological morphology, musculature, skeletal tissue......

If he were a doctor, he would have walked down the road and would have seen passers-by covered in diseases and even the disgusting lungs of heavy smokers.

Chen Dong's university major is avionics, and he studied high-frequency and VHF communications, gyroscope, laser navigation, and other professional knowledge.

Those things sound far away, but in fact in addition to aviation, these technologies as well as quietly integrated into life.

For example, mobile phone communication, navigation.

When ordinary people are on the phone, they may think about what the person on the other end of the phone is doing.

But if he makes a phone call, what he says will come to his mind and become a modulated signal and be emitted...... Finally, the signal is demodulated by another mobile phone and transmitted as an audio sound.

It's undoubtedly a very fucked up thing.

Chen Dong couldn't help but take a puff of cigarette again, he knew that the person who could do such an unbelievable thing must be a genius.

But he couldn't help but worry that if he continued like this, he would become a schizophrenic madman.

On one side is an ordinary personality who can't accept infinite information and actively isolates his memory, and on the other side is a genius who is crazy about analysis, and the two personalities are independent of each other.

Just thinking about it, the tremendous pressure made it difficult for him to breathe.

Chen Dong felt that he should study philosophy, so that it might be easier to convince himself and make him feel better inside.

He snuffed out the cigarette and turned to sit down.

It is a luxury for him to put all his mind on where he wants to think, so that there are no distractions on him.

But once he does, his analytical skills will be terrifying.

Almost in that instant.

He recalled the scene when his medicine was stolen, the man's eyes and movements, and the crispness of his steps.

If it is just an ordinary pickpocket, then the wallet should be the one who wants not to go, but it turns out that he touches a box of medicine, and there will be a contrast in his heart the moment he gets it.

If there is a habitual thief, in that case, there are emotions that will be deliberately hidden.

But it is impossible for people to completely hide their psychological emotions, and it may be reflected in their eyes, or even any subtle movement, which is their uncontrollable body language.

Chen Dong has studied micro-motor psychology, so he is eighty percent sure that the thief is going to steal his own medicine, and he will succeed in one blow.

His eyes narrowed slowly, as if they were showing their edge.

Someone deliberately stole their own medicine!

Who will do that?

This person knows the details of his situation, and even knows which pocket he habitually puts the medicine in his clothes!

By such inference, I am afraid that I have been eyeing myself for a long time.

He had to find this man and figure out what was going on!

Chen Dong took a deep breath, his attention focused on his ears, trying to listen to the movements around him, trying to see if anyone was lurking around his home.

The person who steals his own medicine, for whatever purpose, surely expects that he will get sick.

What happens when I get sick?

Getting the ability to reason logically like a genius?

Or do you want to turn into a schizophrenic madman?

Which is the purpose of the other party, thinking of this, Chen Dong's heart felt numb, and he immediately closed all the windows and curtains, completely cutting off all the sight of the outside world.

Chen Dong was extremely cautious, his eyes swept over all the corners of the room, and he tried to find pinhole cameras and bugs in the room.

The end result was a relief to him.

Chen Dong rubbed his head and said with a wry smile: "Sure enough, my nerves are still too tight!"

He smiled self-deprecatingly, he was not an agent, nor was he a big man, how could someone monitor him.

He poured a cup of hot water to moisten his throat.

Chen Dong picked up the remote control and turned on the TV, and the TV news was reporting the latest news: "Liang Fu, known as the youngest chess king, suddenly disappeared in the airport hotel, and the police have intervened in the investigation, according to official information, Liang Fu is preparing to fly to Russia to participate in the first division of chess, and Liang Fu, who is only 19 years old, is one of the candidates for the championship of the event." ”

He was not interested in these news, and Chen Dong's mind was not on TV at all at this time.

His eyes were fixed on the little alarm clock on the TV.

After the death of his parents, he lived with relatives and moved back on his own when he became an adult.

Most of the things in the house were also left by the parents.

He lived there for a few years and didn't think it was inappropriate, but at this moment, he saw several discordant places.

Chen Dong's pupils tightened slightly, and he got up and approached the alarm clock to take a look, only to find that there was something wrong with this alarm clock, and the chassis of the alarm clock was Roman numerals.

But the pointer inside is too long.

The average person is seldom aware that there is a potential rule on the length of the hands of a clock, for example, if Roman numerals are used, then the hands will be shorter.

In the case of Arabic numerals 1-3-6, the second and minute hands of the clock will be slightly longer, because the Arabic numerals are not afraid of obscure.

Nowadays, although there are clocks that are not designed according to the rules, it is because consumers have become accustomed to it and do not need to look at the numbers on the clock to tell the time.

But this alarm clock is a model from more than ten years ago, so this design is obviously very inconsistent.

Of course, Chen Dong did not rule out that he was just thinking too much, after all, he was thinking about more things today than in the previous month.

But Chen Dong still couldn't help it, took the small alarm clock on the TV, opened the battery cover at the back, and found that there were only two batteries that he had replaced, and there was nothing else unusual.

He gritted his teeth and found a screwdriver to disassemble the alarm clock.

The alarm clock is engraved with a set of dates, September 21, 1954.

It was his father's birthday, and it didn't seem to have any special meaning.

But who would be idle and inscribed in an alarm clock?

This is an unusual thing!

Chen Dong immediately concluded that this was a set of codes, because he found that the hands in the alarm clock and other components were not the same color, to be precise, the degree of corrosion was different.

In other words, the two hands were replaced later, not the original ones.

Chen Dong took out the entire alarm clock and looked at it, but found no other clues, so he assembled the alarm clock, and the whole process was not difficult.

Especially for a person like him who is a science and engineering student.

But at the last moment to finish, Chen Dong's hand stiffened.

It is obviously difficult to decipher a set of birthday codes, and he must know who the person who wrote the password is, what habits and hobbies he has, or why he wrote the code.

Even if his mind is more active than most people now, it is not easy to do it.

But at this moment, he had a bold idea.

Is it possible that this birthday code written in the alarm clock can actually be cracked by the alarm clock itself?

After he restored the alarm clock, he took out a piece of paper with a frown, and restored the appearance of the alarm clock dial on it......

After a few seconds of daze.

It was like an accident and a spur of the moment.

Stringing that set of birthday numbers on the dial 1-9-5-4-9-2-1, looking at the final pattern, Chen Dong instantly held his breath, and his heart suddenly set off a storm!!

It turned out to be a very familiar graphic!

Because this set of numbers is strung together in the arrangement of the dial, it becomes two symmetrical triangles.

Together, these two triangles are like an arrow, pointing to the same center!

I pointed to the 9 o'clock position of the alarm clock!

Chen Dong immediately put the alarm clock back on the TV, and then looked in the direction of nine o'clock.

The height of the TV, pointing at nine o'clock, is an electrical socket mounted on the wall.

There was little hesitation.

Chen Dong picked up the tool and disassembled the electrical socket.

My calculations are correct, and there is a code in this.

The inside of this electrical socket has been covered with dust, but you can still see that there is a set of cipher codes inside, indicating that you are not thinking in the wrong direction.

And this set of codes that fall on the inside of the electrical socket seems to be guiding other places.

One ring after another.

Before Chen Dong could begin to analyze this set of numbers......

Right now!

Suddenly, there was a knock at the door.

Knock –

Knock –

Knock –

Suddenly, Chen Dong's whole body nerves tensed, he had lived here for several years, and no one had ever knocked on the door.

If something goes wrong, there must be a demon!

Who the hell is it?

Why is there a knock on the door at this time?

His lips were white, as if a great enemy was coming to the door, and his eyes were fixed on the location of the door.
