Chapter 62: The Treasure Map (I)
Suning brought a wooden ladder from outside the door, put it on the wall, stepped on it in a few steps, and carefully observed every inch of the skylight, even the cobwebs in the corners.
Everyone looked at him nervously, and Suning's every movement, even every expression, touched their hearts.
At this time, Chen Jing suddenly asked:
"Doesn't sunroof mean a car sunroof? How do you ......"
Suning didn't look back, his right hand carefully explored along the edge of the window, and those extremely subtle bumps were probably part of the clues. Hearing Chen Jing's question, while carefully checking, he explained:
"You have to consider that Captain Kane wrote the manuscript in 1943, a few decades after now, and there may not have been a concept of a car sunroof, so a sunroof is a roof window that can be opened."
Chen Jing nodded clearly.
Suning didn't care about him anymore, and searched carefully inch by inch, but still found nothing.
It shouldn't be! Suning frowned, the answer reasoning must be correct, the clue must be in the skylight, so where is it?
Suning closed his eyes and slowly thought in his mind, if I were Captain Kane, how would I hide the clue in the skylight?
It's certainly not practical to use paper, which is prone to wear and tear, and notes are more volatile. The code, I didn't find the code, is it in the mezzanine?
Suning carefully pinched the edge of the window and knocked it from time to time to determine whether the inside of the window edge was hollow, and his hands were covered with black and dust, and he didn't care.
Unfortunately, no traces of clues were found.
Since there is no mezzanine, where will the clues be hidden?
Suning looked at the skylight, which was closed at this time, and the glass was installed at the back, and the light was recognizable. Is it on the glass? An absurd thought suddenly popped into his mind, and then it was instantly extinguished.
How is it possible, the glass is all newly replaced, how can it leave clues.
Suning shook his head a little irritably, and opened the window casually.
As soon as the skylight opened, the sea breeze blew in violently, brushing his face, and his spirit was only shocked, at this moment, Suning felt as if he had neglected a place just now!
Yes! It's the inner edge of the skylight!
The inner window edge is usually closed, and only when the window is opened, the inner window edge will be revealed.
Suning couldn't help but say, his finger touched it, and then, his finger touched a deep dent, which was obviously carved by someone!
That's him!
Suning suppressed the excitement in his heart, blew off the dust, and suddenly, a line of numbers came into view: "18,,21." ”
Suning hurriedly wrote it down, and at the same time looked at the inner window edge on the left, there was also a set of numbers, and there was one more:
“28,9,41。”
Together, it is:
“18,21,28,9,41。”
Suning hurriedly asked Qin Xiaoru to write down this string of numbers, jumped down the stairs, and went outside the house to wash her hands.
When he came back, everyone was already discussing it hotly, and there was even some inextricable posture.
It is generally divided into two meanings, the first is Yi Qingxuan, she thinks that this string of numbers should represent the meaning of some words in the novel, and the second is naturally proposed by Chen Jing, she thinks this is a set of nautical coordinates.
Both parties have their own interpretations, Yi Qingxuan believes that since Kane is a detective novelist and deliberately leaves clues in the novel, this set of numbers must be related to the novel.
Chen Jing was naturally not to be outdone, and they said that Kane was the captain, and the number left behind must be a set of coordinates, and this set of coordinates must be a treasure place.
The two sides come and go, fighting with each other, and the fight is red-faced, plus the two hostile sides that were inseparable in the past, the smell of gunpowder is getting more and more, if Suning comes a little later, I am afraid that it will start.
Suning hurriedly went up and pulled away from each other, glaring at the six people fiercely, almost blowing up his lungs in his heart, there was more than enough success and failure, they were all pig-like teammates.
"What the hell are you trying to do?" Suning asked unceremoniously and coldly, his face was gloomy and scary, "If you want to fight, go out and fight, don't be embarrassed here!" ”
"Suning, they ......" Chen Shu wanted to explain something, but was suddenly interrupted by Suning.
"Enough! Don't even say it! Since you all think you're right, why don't you try to solve the riddle of this set of numbers? ”
Suning's words hit the nail on the head, and everyone suddenly realized, and then they thought about it and searched for the answer to the mystery.
Suning was not idle, looking at this set of numbers, and fell into deep thought.
Half an hour later, everyone still found nothing, and their explanations seemed to be untenable.
Yi Qingxuan took the novel, pondered for a long time, and recorded something with a pen from time to time; Chen Jing got a map of the island out of nowhere and wrote and drew on the map.
"Still inconclusive?" Suning asked.
Yi Qingxuan shook her head and explained:
"No, I've tried using the page comparison method, but the parsed words don't have any relevance."
"Page comparison?" Suning stared at Yi Qingxuan in astonishment, and then said with a wry smile: "Yi Qingxuan, I think you have overlooked a detail, although Captain Kane's manual is a real note, the pages of the manual cannot be the same as the pages of the current novel, since it is not the same, does it still make sense for you to use the page comparison method?" ”
Yi Qingxuan was picked out by Suning, and her face turned red suddenly, this kind of expression was just her, it was almost impossible to appear, but now it did appear, and it was said by Suning.
was pointed out to be wrong, Yi Qingxuan quickly reacted, if it wasn't a page, then there was only one left that could match the number.
"You mean ......" Yi Qingxuan's brows moved.
"That's right, it's broken," Suning took over the topic, "only broken will not be separated by future generations at will, and I think the clue that Captain Kane wants to tell us is likely to be in the broken." ”
Yi Qingxuan nodded clearly, Chen Shu waved her little fist vigorously excitedly, and did not forget to demonstrate to Chen Jing.
Chen Jing surprisingly did not refute, and agreed with Suning's words. The reason is very simple, because her analysis has failed, and the coordinates composed of that set of numbers, dismantled and disassembled, are all in the sea.
Will the treasure be in the sea, the answer is no.
It didn't take long for Yi Qingxuan's analysis to come out, and the answer analyzed by the break was still a set of illogical words, "Beautiful, stupid, windy, drink water, who." ”
What's wrong with it!? Even Suning couldn't figure out this, there was a faint feeling of swelling pain in his temples, he was about to rub it, but a pair of delicate little hands were placed on his temples, and he rubbed them gently, the little hands were slightly cool, soothing the anxiety that Suning had just risen.
Suning didn't look, but closed his eyes and quietly enjoyed the rare tranquility of this moment.
The faint fragrance of lavender came from the tip of his nose, and he had already told him that it was Qin Xiaoru.
Everyone was not surprised, Qin Xiaoru's intentions could be seen by fools.
After a while, Suning suddenly opened his eyes and said in a deep voice:
"Yi Qingxuan, please swap that set of numbers, from right to left, all of them."
Everyone looked at Suning in astonishment.
"I remember a detail, Captain Kane in the novel is a left-hander, if the assumption is true, then it is likely that we are exploring in the wrong direction, we have always speculated according to the habits of normal people, and left-handed people write or burn habits, generally the opposite of normal people, from right to left."
When everyone heard this, their hearts were shocked, although they knew that Suning was smart and logically strong, but they didn't expect it to be so strong, even this can be seen?
Although there were doubts in his heart, he still did what Suning said, but as soon as the result came out, everyone looked at Suning as if they were looking at Suning.
The parsed words are clearly a set of coordinates.
"Longitude 38°E, latitude 71°N, 18."
