Chapter 52: The Fortune Teller
Synopsis: If you don't work well, you know how to think about those pseudo-scientific things, let me tell you, it's the 21st century, there are no aliens, and I believe in science more than this. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"I heard that they all disappeared at night, do you think we will ...... too" He Jie was a little worried.
"It's okay, Miss He, you're not a girl, what's worrying about?" Wei Shenglin was naughty again.
This is good, the office is lively, one escapes and one chases, so they play a game of cat and mouse around the office.
Yu Mingxiu didn't forget to click on the webpage of their detective agency in his spare time, and saw that a person had left a message for himself, he clicked in to check it and then said to the group of people who were playing: "Don't make trouble with you, there was a person on the Internet who made an appointment to come to the office at one o'clock this afternoon, and there is work to do." β
Live again? Wei Shenglin couldn't lift his spirits when he heard that there was a job, and there were some messy things recently, such as: selling old newspapers to the old man to the aunt next door to find a square dance fan that she couldn't find, or a little bit of technical content is to find a cat, but in the end, he may be scratched by a cat on his arm, etc., etc....... When the detective agency became famous, they found them with all kinds of boring jobs, but fortunately there was a 'relief' from the police, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to afford even these people's commissions before breakfast.
But after all, this is work, and there is a good saying: the road you choose must be completed on your knees. Wei Shenglin had to do the job he chose no matter how unwilling he was, so he had no choice but to eat a good lunch and quietly wait for the client's 'arrival', hoping that this time it would be a case with a higher commission fee and a little more difficult. Otherwise, if it goes on like this, these people's minds often don't have to think about things, so it's not rusty?
At one o'clock in the afternoon, the client did not come, until about one o'clock there was a knock on the door, but it was a child who knocked on the door.
When I asked how it was going, the kid just stuffed the letter of entrustment to them on behalf of the client, and the real client didn't show up at all.
Open the letter, with no recipient and no sender, and it reads like this:
I hope you will come and visit me in person, I will feel safe enough in my home, a kilometer apart, side by side with a building, a few fruit stalls on the side of the road, a cat (e), a book of thousand (f), nine incense (s), a hundred goods, ten rabbits and an Indian (t), which is claimed to be the largest in the region.
I'm waiting for you here.
In this letter
Wei Shenglin's temper came up again, he threw the letter of entrustment on the table very angrily and sat on the sofa, "What a big name, let us wait so long to stuff us with such a broken letter, which has a lot of nonsense written in it, what do you mean, isn't this playing with us?" β
Wei Hui took the letter and read it carefully, returned the letter to Wei Shenglin, and said to Wei Shenglin, "Haven't everyone already written the address in it?"
Wei Shenglin was even more confused when he heard Wei Hui's words, there was clearly no address here? Why did the master say that there was an address in it?
This apprentice didn't understand it, Wei Hui had to understand a little more: "Stupid or not, you, put forward each sentence separated by commas and take the first word, doesn't his meaning come out?" β
According to the master's enlightenment, Wei Shenglin read it again, the first word of the first sentence is 'I', and then 'in', and so on, the meaning of this letter is 'I am on Xianghe Road, No. 1960'
The answer emerges, which means that they can find the person if they find this place now.
Because Xianghe Road is relatively far, He Jie drove them there, and Wei Hui still held the letter along the way, although the address was known, but they didn't know what the client looked like, how should they find the client when the time came? Wei Hui believes that the answer is also in the letter.
I arrived at No. 1960 Xianghe Road, but No. 1960 is not a family at all, it is actually a large bazaar selling antiques and ethnic ornaments?! The people inside are densely packed, how can you find someone?
Is it really playing with them?
Wei Hui looked around and saw a bookstore called Qianzhishu, Qianzhishu? This name seems to have been mentioned in the letter, but is the book of Qianzhi here the name of a shop in the letter? So since that's the case, what is the f behind it?
f... f...... What does it mean?
Is it the order of the words in the word list?
"Could it be an abbreviation of an English word?" He Jie asked.
Abbreviation......?
"That's right, it's an abbreviation!" Wei Hui suddenly enlightened, "F stands for first, if so, S-second represents second, T-third represents third, e...."
βeοΌendοΌ Isn't it?! Yu Mingxiu said: "I think although it is more common to use final, because there is already first, in order not to confuse him, he only uses e." β
Now it's all cracked.,The book of Qianzhi written on it is the first.,And then stand at the door of the Qianzhi bookstore to find Jiuxiang.,But what are sixty rabbits and an Indian?
Rabbits are reminiscent of pets-flower and bird markets, and Indians first think of curry rice-chili-black. What does that mean? This should not mean that there are really so many rabbits and so many Indians, but it should also represent a place...... Where is it...
"Ma Ma, Ma Ma, shall we go eat curry rice?" A child holds her mother's hand.
Her mother replied with a smile on her face, "Okay, do you want to win the bunny sticker today?" β
Curry rice and rabbit stickers? Both of these messages are related to the hints in the letter!
Luckily, they followed them all the way to a curry shop, where a big sign read: Eat curry rice raffle to win a limited edition rabbit sticker.
I found it, and it should be this store.
But Wei Shenglin didn't understand what sixty and ten deputies.
Wei Hui shrugged his shoulders and looked helpless, "Maybe he just wants to make up a number....... Forget it, anyway, I've found it and don't get entangled, what's that cat below? β
They didn't find the last place, so they wandered around the room, hoping to find clues.
Passing by the door of a fortune teller shop, a servant stopped them: "Sir, are you looking for something?" Do you want to sit down and divination?"
The woman was dressed in a Western-style costume with jingling bells on her head and hands, and she sat behind a table covered with a light goose feather blanket, on which were placed a variety of divination tools, a constellation compass, tarot cards, leaves, etc., and a large crystal ball was placed in the middle.
