Chapter 345: Cracking the Code

"Thirty-five dollars, sir." After Mao Mei left, the black saleswoman still kept a straight face, and she didn't forget to tell Ben. Gates paid for it.

Root. Gates didn't notice anything, he continued to dig out his wallet, but after looking for a long time, he only had thirty-two dollars on him.

The black saleswoman resolutely refused to let him go, bargaining, swiping cards, and grinding her mouth, which took nearly ten minutes.

When he left the side hall, he was already sweating, and he couldn't laugh a little when he thought of his extra expenses, such a print cost thirty-five dollars? It's expensive!

Before the smile on his face disappeared, he regretted that he had just swiped his card! This is evidence that he stole the Declaration of Independence!

He walked quickly out of the door of the National Archives, fearing that he would be tracked down by state authorities, so he did not dare to go back to the hotel, but went to his father's house.

Fooling the old man, he took out the Declaration of Independence and carefully smeared it with lemon on the back of the declaration, trying to make the invisibility potion visible, but alas...... There was no handwriting, and then he heated it with a hair dryer, but it still didn't come to fruition.

Nothing behind the Declaration of Independence? Your own clues are broken? Or was it a ridiculous farce in the first place?

He sat in his chair in a state of decadence, his whole being in a state of deep self-doubt.

On the other side, Bella and the others are also watching the real Declaration of Independence.

In order to dispel this. Rather than fooling around with the $35 print, Gates continued to track down, and instead ordered his men to make a high-quality copy of the Declaration of Independence, which resembled the original than the original.

The Brotherhood is actually an ancient thief organization, a thief's guild, and counterfeiting is commonplace, and they have been doing this business for more than 2,000 years! It's completely at the level of Master Zu! Now forging a declaration of independence that is more than 200 years old is a very simple and trivial matter.

Don't talk about Ben. Gates, a historian, is an expert in identifying cultural relics, and he can't see any flaws.

Take it back and show it as a genuine product, there is no problem at all.

Today, in order to preside over the overall situation of the entire treasure digging, Bella uses the identity of a mentor, with a white hood, a stabbing sword hanging from her waist, and a hazy face.

She is now working with the Brotherhood's historian and analyst Sean Brown. Hastings watched the Declaration of Independence together.

006, as a guest and participant in the event, also came to join them, and at this time stood by with his arms crossed and watched.

Sean. Hastings smeared lemonade on the back of the Declaration of Independence, while Mao Mei took a hair dryer to heat it, and soon, the hidden handwriting slowly revealed.

Mao Mei hurriedly picked up the pen and paper on the side to make a record.

“7-9-6,10-15-8,14-8-2......” It's all numbers like that.

"Do you understand what that means? Is it latitude and longitude? 006 asked.

He was an outsider at the scene, and he knew very well that Bella was dressed strangely, but he could see at a glance that this group of mysterious guys was like some kind of ancient association, faintly repulsing him.

At this point, curiosity overrode worry, and he asked involuntarily.

"Well, you know, it's the Ortondorf code." As if to see 006's puzzlement, Bella took off her gloves and deliberately explained two more sentences.

"There is nothing mysterious, the first number represents the number of pages of the document, the second number represents the lines of this page, and the third number represents the letters of the line.

"Literature? What literature? "006 is worthy of being an elite agent, his body is not as good as it was back then, but his mind is still sharp, and he immediately grasped the point.

Bella smiled: "I didn't know at first, but Ben. Dr. Gates helped us find clues. ”

She held out her hand, and the fraternity members immediately handed her a thick stack of printer paper.

Benjamin. Franklin secretly wrote fourteen letters to his brother's newspaper at the age of fifteen, in which he described himself as a middle-aged widow who was probably also fond of women's clothing...... He named himself Cyrens. Dugud ...... Don't know Ben. How Gates got this clue, but you look at these Ortendorf codes. ”

Bella pointed to the record on the paper and said, "The numbers in the first line are in the range of one to fourteen, which corresponds to Benjamin. Fourteen letters written by Franklin. ”

She's in and 006 explains the key to it, and on the other side Sean. Hastings was already working with a few men to decipher the Ortendorf code.

"7-9-6..... is S."

"11-3-5...... is I."

"9-1-7...... is A."

All the letters are concatenated into a single sentence.

Sean. Hastings reads carefully: "Treasured images of the past will appear in the shadow of a timely time before passing through the rooms of Paz and Stowe. ”

"Paz and Stowe?" 006 doesn't want to appear ignorant, but his personality is very inquisitive, and it's uncomfortable not to ask at this time.

Sean replied casually, "It should be worth it to be John. Paz and John. Stowe, together they cast the Liberty Bell in the War of Independence. ”

"On July 8, 1776, an important date in the history of the United States, the Liberty Bell was rung when the Declaration of Independence was issued, and this clue is supposed to refer to the Liberty Bell."

"The Liberty Bell is in Philadelphia, I'm going to look for the next clue." Sean offered to ask.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work." Bella nodded in agreement.

Sean travels to Philadelphia with a small team, while Bella and the others travel to New York, where her divination reveals that the treasure is buried.

Root. Outsider Gates can find treasure little by little by relying on clues, and it is difficult to say that the Knights Templar will know nothing.

Nothing else if they find Benjamin. Franklin's descendants have a high chance of finding this treasure by using the Animus to read the information in the genes of the descendants and recreate the memories of their ancestors.

The domineering of the Animus lies in this, it doesn't matter if there are no clues, we can do it at the source in one step, who will analyze the clues with you little by little.

When the Brotherhood splits up and prepares to unlock the treasure, Ben in Washington, D.C. Dr. Gates was caught, and strictly speaking, he turned himself in.

The human and material evidence is complete, the time of the crime, the means of committing the crime, and the motive for the crime, and under the search of the FBI, there is no place to run.

"Ben. Dr. Gates? The FBI agent in charge of handling the case looked a little old, so he asked his men to leave, move the stool by himself, and sit in Ben. Gates in front of him.

"I need my lawyer to be there......" Ben. Before Gates could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by laughter.

"Hahahaha-ha-doctor, you don't know who you're dealing with, you've been looking for traces of the Knights Templar for so many years, and now that the Knights Templar have found you, do you have anything to say?" The old detective said with a smile.
