10-1 [World A: Dawn Halberd Perspective]

December 28th.

"I'm glad you're here."

Officer Zhang said.

This is Officer Zhang, Zhang Manai's home, and in addition to me, there are also police officers Mingxue and Mountain.

"Where's Mrs. Ling?"

I noticed that Officer Zhang's wife was not there.

"She's out on something."

"Where's Lingzun?"

"My parents have gone abroad, and it is estimated that they will not come back for a long time."

"That's right...... It's really a mansion. ”

"No, no, my parents' house."

A very classical Chinese-style courtyard house is quite rare in modern society.

"yes, it's a good idea to come here. Thank you three days ago. From now on, it's the job of our police, so don't interfere with it anymore. ”

"Understood, thank you."

I simply thanked him.

Three days ago, on Christmas Day, December 25th. Tracking Xiyu ended up encountering the spirit of thought, and in the end, thanks to the [No Man's World] escaped death.

It's not clear what happened at the time, but with a burst of noise, it was as if everyone had disappeared from the world.

Since then, nothing like it has befallen it.

"As long as it is determined that the murderer is 'Huang Xiyu', our subsequent work will be targeted."

“…… It should be said that it was done by the spirit of energy. ”

The rain is nothing more than a pawn for him.

"Hmm...... That's right. ”

Officer Mountain nodded.

After December 25, Xiyu never came to school again. Not only that, but she seemed to have evaporated from the world and disappeared without a trace.

However, I still have concerns and doubts. This doubt came from two aspects, one was what Xiyu said to me at that time: [No one was admitted, and he gave the place to people other than the five of us. 】

Naturally, I told Officer Mountain these things, but in the end they judged that they were lying. I don't quite understand, is it really necessary for her to lie? Lying or not, all she did was run away. Or is it just to interfere with our investigation?

In addition, the second concern was the death message left by the victim at that time - '8992696'.

[No matter how you look at it, the name 'Huang Xiyu' doesn't explain this problem.] 】

“……”

I pondered, was the man in black at that time really Huang Xiyu? In the light of the information available, there is no doubt about it, but ......

"What's wrong?"

Officer Zhang looked at me and asked with concern.

"Ah, no. Then again, why does Officer Zhang want to be a police officer? ”

I asked casually.

"Ah—maybe I like the feeling of punishing evil and promoting good."

"It's really righteous."

I said with a smile.

"By the way—Xiao Zhang, I remember you don't have a photo album? Do you want to take out the photo album from college? ”

"Ahh

"It's okay, let's make everyone happy."

"That's right."

We laughed.

Later, Officer Zhang took out a photo album with a blue cover, and we took a brief look at it, in addition to the photos of the university, there were also photos of my childhood.

"This bare-bottomed one, it's so pretty."

Officer Mountain said with a smile.

"You guys are really ......"

Officer Zhang smiled awkwardly as he poured us tea.

"Is this Mrs. Ling?"

I saw a picture of Officer Zhang and a young woman holding his arm and smiling brightly.

"Yes."

Officer Zhang nodded.

"It's so beautiful, it's very virtuous."

After Mingxue saw it, she also praised it.

"Hmm...... Thank you. ”

But Officer Zhang didn't look very happy, just smiled faintly.

"When can I become like this?"

“…… In another ten years. ”

"When did the halberd hurt people so much."

"This is a conservative estimate of the date."

"You ......"

Mingxue pouted, obviously beautiful enough now.

"My wife and I are actually childhood sweethearts. There are also photos of the two of us when I was a child. ”

Officer Zhang added.

"Huh-"

So, it seems like I did see other people in my childhood photos.

"This is it."

Officer Zhang pointed to a 'teenager'-like child.

"Isn't this a boy?"

"Ah...... She was particularly macho as a child. The dress is also boyish, but when I go to high school, the whole person is different, which scares me a lot. ”

Officer Zhang said with a smile.

"After getting along for a long time, the two gradually fell in love."

Officer Zhang said embarrassedly.

"In this way, Mingxue used to be very manly, and for a long time I thought I had a male friend."

"It's too much, the two of us are also childhood sweethearts."

"That's a lot like us, maybe you two will fall in love too."

Officer Zhang patted the two of us on the shoulder and smiled softly.

“……”

“……”

Both of us were a little embarrassed and turned our faces away from each other.

"Cherish it, childhood sweetheart."

[Officer Zhang squinted his eyes and said to himself affectionately.] 】

“……”

I continued to flip through the album and found that the last page of the album was empty, which seemed a little abrupt. So I flipped back and saw a photo, and when I looked closely, I found that it was a list of college classmates.

"List of Law Class 2."

I found Zhang Manai's name in this list, and it turned out that he was a law major.

"What is this picture?"

"Ah, I was the class president of Class 2 of the Law Department at the time. When I first entered the school, I had to deal with a lot of things with my classmates, but I didn't know anyone at the time, so I took a picture of this list. ”

Officer Zhang said.

That's true, when you get to college...... Until now, many students don't know each other.

I noticed that this list is in alphabetical order of last name, which is generally the case with the list.

For example, my surname is Xi, which starts with X, and I am generally used to looking for my name from the back.

Officer Zhang's last name starts with Z, which is the last one.

If the surname letter is the same, you will find the pinyin letter of the second word, and so on to complete the sorting. The general list is like this, and this list is no exception.

ZHANG Manai...... Z M A。

There are really a lot of people in the class whose surname starts with Z.

[Among the classmates who started with Z, I found that Zhang Manai's name was below 'Zhang Muxi'. 】

……

I don't feel right.

"Zhang Muxi?"

I pointed to the name and said to myself.

"Ah, I remember Zhang Muxi, he is our cultural and sports committee. A tall boy with muscles all over his body. ”

Officer Zhang said to me when he saw it.

No...... Wait a minute.

"Are you hungry? I'm going to get you some snacks, there's strawberry cake—"

"Really?"

Mingxue said excitedly.

"Wait a minute—"

Officer Zhang turned and walked towards the kitchen.

【"Why...... I don't feel right. ”】

"What's wrong?"

Officer Mountain asked when he saw my expression.

Zhang Muxi...... Shouldn't the initials be ZMX? ”

"yes, what's wrong......?"

["Officer Zhang's name is Zhang Manai, and the initials should be ZMA. ”】

If that's the case.

["Theoretically, Zhang Manai's name should be ranked in front of Zhang Muxi, but this list is reversed. ”】

Except here, the order is correct for the rest of the place.

"Ahh

Officer Mountain suddenly laughed dryly.

"You don't know, I didn't know at first."

Officer Mountain pulled out his phone and opened the search engine.

"Actually...... The real pronunciation of Xiao Zhang's name is not Zhang Manai (AI four voices). ”

Officer Mountain typed in a word.

["Rather...... Zhang Manai (yi four sounds). ”】

“？！”

The word ai is a polyphonic word, which can be pronounced as ai (four tones) or yi (four tones). When Xiao Zhang's parents named him, they took the pronunciation of 'yi', and when they pronounced yi, its original meaning was 'regret your mistakes and correct them yourself.' It can be said that Xiao Zhang's parents are very strict people. — and that's true. ”

“……”

I looked towards the kitchen. - [I see, in this way, everything makes sense.] 】

Although his ID card and resume are marked with the pronunciation of 'yi' in a regular manner. However, he himself prefers to take the sound of 'ai', perhaps because Man Ai sounds like 'full love'. We've gotten used to calling him that way over time. He grew up in a strict family, and his desire for 'love' was beyond ordinary people, and you can see that his parents were really very traditional and strict people. ”

“……”

"Therefore, there is such a thing as a list, and the pronunciation of yi will still be taken, so Zhang Manai ZMY is naturally below Zhang Muxi ZMX. - Anyway, little boy, what have you been writing about? ”

While Officer Mountain was explaining, I opened my phone and edited the text messages.

"I sent you a text message for you to see."

I said.

Officer Mountain turned on his phone in confusion, and then frowned as well.

I remembered the death message – '8992969'.

8 The strange ink on the far left is like a 'for' with two missing points, and if you turn it upside down, it doesn't look like a 'for', but the number '4'. In other words, the entire death message needs to be inverted. This may have been written after the victim fell to the ground, and the notebook at the time was upside down, or perhaps the person who took the physical evidence manually turned it to the right for observation-

When I first saw the photo of this death message, Officer Zhang accidentally dropped it on the ground, and my perspective was inverted - [if you rotate the '8992696' by 180 degrees - you get "9692668" and - the unfinished '4' after 8].

The victim's mobile phone was missing at the scene, and the digital information left at the scene - what I understood was only the [nine-key numeric keypad] of the mobile phone input method.

In addition to 7 and 9, the three letters are combined, 1 is the symbol, 2 is ABC, and so on -

9 6 9 2 6 6 8 4 represents.

9-WXYZ 6-MNO 9-WXYZ 2-ABC 6-MNO 6-MNO 8-TUV 4-GHI

9-Z，，，6-M，【9-Y】，2-C，，6-O，，6-N，， 8-V， 4-I

The pinyin correspondence with the first letter is:

【张万艾(yi)CONVI】——For the victims of English majors, the unfinished words are likely to be—

Convict

After reading the information.

Officer Shan's face changed dramatically, and he looked at me in all directions.

"The cake is ready."

Officer Zhang came out of the kitchen with a strawberry cake, still with a gentle smile on his face.
