Chapter 20: A Thousand Plumes of Domineering
"At 30 o'clock at the top of the left tip, meet at the 60th place of the 300th and the corner."
The letter from 'Picking Stars' suddenly looked very nonsensical, with neither a specific time nor a specific place. But Leyu gained the memory of a thousand plumes, and naturally knew how to interpret this ciphertext.
'Thirty o'clock in the upper left corner' is a specific time: 'upper left' corresponds to 'hour and minute', the left instant hand position, the upper hand is the minute hand position, and the 'upper left' means that the initial time is 9 o'clock.
However, the 'top left' indicates obviously, so 9 o'clock is not the correct answer and needs to be adjusted, while '60' refers to the angle at which the hour and minute hands need to be adjusted.
According to the ciphertext rule, if you want the minute hand to be deflected to the hour hand, if you want the minute hand to be deflected from small to large, you should write 'fractions', and conversely, because the hour hand is larger than the minute hand, if you want the hour hand to deflect to the minute hand, and the large is close to the small, write 'dozens'.
Thirty is greater than one, so the minute hand remains the same, and the hour hand is deflected according to 'thirty' β the hour hand is deflected 30Β° to the minute hand, which means that the time should be 10 o'clock.
And the 'tip' of 'top left' refers to the moon and corresponds to the 'circle' which represents the sun, so the correct answer is 10 p.m.
'Three Hundred and Sixty Corners' refers to the meeting place, and to answer this hidden information, all you need is a map of the Star Carved County.
As an agent of the Statistics Division, Qian Yuliu naturally carried the map with him.
Open the map of Xingke County, and Le Yu can easily find the center of Xingke County - the Hui Bell Tower standing in the lecture square in the center of the city is very conspicuous. As a conspicuous landmark that exists in every county, it is naturally appropriate to use the Hui Bell Tower as a reference for ciphertext exchanges.
'Three hundred' refers to 300 meters away from the Hui Bell Tower, while 'Angle 60' means 60 degrees clockwise due north.
Leyu first took the Hui Bell Tower as the center of the circle on the map, and the radius of the scale was 300 meters as a circle, and then took the center of the circle as the starting point to make a straight line with an angle of 60Β° to the north line.
And the point where the line and the circle intersect is the designated meeting place for 'Picking Stars'!
At night, the streets of Xingke County are as bright as day. Le Yu walked in the middle of the avenue, striding with his head up, not at all like going to a secret meeting, but no one from the patrolling guards on the side of the road came to interrogate him, and everyone looked away from him at a glance.
If Leyu wears a hat and wears black clothes and is sneaky, it will attract suspicion, but Leyu's upright appearance is his best protective color, which is the so-called most dangerous is the safest...... It's weird.
The steel-soled boots that Leyu is wearing now are the standard equipment of the Statistics Division, and no one will wear this kind of boots except for the officers of the Statistics Department, and the footsteps of this kind of boots are very distinctive.
Somewhat unexpectedly, Hui Yao has lifted the curfew system - at least not in administrative areas such as counties, and the military region naturally has other rules.
If you think about it carefully, it is not difficult to understand: the purpose of the curfew is to prevent fire, theft and homelessness, and in essence, it is because the light is not good at night, so everyone is directly banned from activities. But Huiyao County is full of solar street lights, and although the night is not as bright as the day, it will never be blind.
Moreover, the Star Carving Cabaret is full of people, and although the vast majority of civilians are not eligible to go over to consume, it is worth lifting the curfew just to take care of that group of nobles and rich people.
This also greatly facilitates Le Yu, even if the patrol guards find out that he, a statistical department agent, is wandering outside at night, they will not suspect anything - either that he is working overtime at night to catch the backlight and chaos party, or that he is looking for a place to make pornography.
"Stop me, little cub!"
When Leyu turns from the bright street to a sparsely lit path, it seems to enter another world: the ground is dirty, the earth is rolling, the houses are uneven but closely connected, and garbage is everywhere, as if the stench of corpses is festering.
Just in front of the road, a young man in a short-sleeved sackcloth was running wildly, with messy hair, dirty face, no shoes, fleeing barefoot in this slightly cold night, holding in his right hand a gorgeous money bag that did not match his clothes at all.
Behind the Mai boy, chasing a stout and powerful adult bald head. The bald man couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw Le Yu coming from the other side of the path, and said loudly, "Help stop him!" β
The way was blocked, but the Mai boy was not afraid at all, when he was less than five meters away from Leyu, he suddenly turned around and stepped on the smelly garbage and debris to jump up, climbed hard with both hands, and climbed to the top of the building.
The escape position he had chosen was very good - it was right in the middle of the path, and whether the bald man ran forward or backward, he had to spare a long way to catch up with him.
The bald man apparently realized this as well, and angrily slammed his fist into the earthen wall next to him, which he smashed cracks, and roared towards the sky: "Bunny! Don't be found by me, or I'll tear you apart! β
The dim lights of the nearby houses were immediately extinguished, and although what was happening outside had nothing to do with them as poor, the wisdom of survival taught them to shrink their headsβfor they could do nothing else.
Eighteenth Street.
This place has many names, slums, gambling houses, flower streets...... To put it simply, seventy percent of the poor people in Starker County live here, and another 20 percent live in the docks and factories.
As the development of the productive forces has not reached the excesses of material abundance, slums are an unavoidable existence in every city, and Eighteenth Street is such a place, where the street lights are not perfect, and there are no patrol guards, but instead there are extremely low living expenses and tiled hoods that can shelter from the wind and rain, and the workers and coolies basically live here.
Because the authorities don't interfere too much, there will also be some facilities on 18th Street that are expressly prohibited, such as gambling houses. Compared to other areas that are calm, Eighteenth Street is a little more lively at night - the gambling houses do not dare to open during the day to challenge the authority of the imperial court, and only dare to harvest gamblers at night.
It can be seen that the Qianjia is actually quite wealthy in Xingke County - Qianjia's parents died at an early age, but the Qianjia brothers and sisters can still study and go to school almost off-duty, until Qianyuliu goes to be a ghost and has a normal family income.
Just as Le Yu was sorting out his memory, the bald man suddenly turned his head to stare at Le Yu, and after examining it a few times, a cruel smile appeared on his face.
"You kid, are you in the gang with that bunny? Why didn't you stop him just now? The bald man took out the iron finger tiger from his pocket, slammed his fists into the sound of Tie Ge, and said viciously: "Do you know who your uncle and I are?" β
Oh hoo.
Le Yu was stunned.
He never expected that someone would ...... Dare to find fault with a thousand plumes?
A few cephalosporins, drinking like this.
"Wait!" Le Yu hurriedly shouted to stop him.
"Want to beg for mercy?" The bald man licked his lips and nodded his chin to the back: "Go to the back alley and hand over the money, and then make the master comfortable, I can consider letting you go, and even give you some money hahahaha!" β
"Let me ask you first, who are you? Is it famous here? Le Yu asked cautiously.
"You don't even know my Uncle Lei? You know the Ying boss of Xiangle, right? Boss Ying is my brother-in-law! β
"What is Xiangle?" Leyu blinked.
The bald man felt a little impatient, and directly a pig rushed towards Leyu, as if he wanted to arch his cabbage: "What are you pretending to be stupid, the people who come here are either going to Xiangle to gamble or go to Gentle Township to play, you can blow it to Uncle Leiββ"
Bang!
Le Yu kicked the bald man in the air with a fierce kick, and his weight of more than 100 catties was suspended in the air for a second before he slammed into the ground with a bang, and all the red, black, and yellow vomited out.
"That is."
Le Yu stepped forward and stepped on his stomach: "You're just a brother-in-law of a small gambling house boss?" β
"No, that's right, you're dead......"
"You actually lied to me!" Le Yu kicked hard, and the bald head vomited out of his stomach.
"I, I didn't lie to you!"
"You are so ugly, my sister who is related to you can see where it is, it's not that I don't believe you, but I believe Mendel even more!"
"Meng, Mendel is which onion ......?"
Le Yu was furious: "You dare to insult Mendel!" The best thing I learned in high school was Mendelian heredity's laws! β
"This kick is because you insulted scientists!"
"This kick is because you're making trouble with me!"
"This kick is because you are hungry for my body!"
"This kick is because you don't have long hair and you're ugly!"
"This kick is because you lied to me that you are the brother-in-law of the one whoever!"
"I, I didn't lie to ......"
"Still lie to me, you should step on it!"
Stepping on more than a dozen feet in a row, the more you step on it, the more pleasant it is. It's not that he is a psychopath, it's just that he has encountered too many things in the past two days, and he has been too depressed, especially today, he was just beaten by Mu Feihong in the morning, and he was secretly threatened by Chen Fu in the afternoon, and he had to go home for dinner in the evening to face his sister in the middle......
Leyu is bitter in her heart!
Of course, Leyu can put himself out of the way, and think that he is playing the main plot of the character 'A Thousand Plumes' from a first-person perspective, but he is still unhappy in his heart!
At this time, a ferocious wild monster suddenly appeared, and I am really sorry for this gift from heaven if I don't want to vent it!
"People over there, what are you doing!?"
At this time, several gangsters suddenly appeared at the intersection, and they saw that Le Yu was stepping on the bald man, and they were shocked: "Lei Ye! You dare to beat our people, let go of Master Lei! β
"Kill this bastard and help Lei Ye take revenge!"
"Cut off his hands and feet!"
At this time, Le Yu was almost stepping on it, and the boredom in his heart disappeared a lot, so he kicked the bald man who couldn't even recognize his mother, stomped his foot heavily, raised his head and said coldly: "You also want to trouble me?" β
"Which garlic ...... are you?"
Among the gangsters with teeth and claws, one of them suddenly changed his face, and hurriedly grabbed the others, and said cautiously: "Your Excellency...... Your Excellency isn't from Eighteenth Street, is you? β
The sound of steel-soled boots in the Statistics Division is a nightmare for countless people.
Le Yu didn't answer, he had already found the right way to deal with this group of gang members from Qian Yuliu's memory: "I'll hit me dozens of times, and as long as you and this bald pig are still in front of me in ten seconds, your gambling house will be closed tomorrow." Ten, Nine, Eight, Seven......"
Gangsters, gambling houses, hooligans.
These things may be a great threat to ordinary people, but for the Statistics Division...... No, there is no need for the Statistics Division, not even a small cadre of the Statistics Division, which this group of garbage can afford to provoke.
As the henchmen of Ding Junshou, and as the rampant statistics department, no one in the entire Xingke County dares to provoke them on the bright side, as for the dark side...... The Statistics Division simply does not bother to get its feet dirty to go to such places.
Not to mention anything else, just for the reason of 'arresting the backlight rebels', Leyu can turn the entire 18th Street over and back again. What a gambling house, what a boss, they don't even have the qualifications to lick Leyu's boots.
At this time, the other gangsters also heard that something was wrong, and they hurriedly set up the bald man and quickly slipped away, leaving his sight before the countdown to the end of the music talk, without saying a word of cruelty.
They may be skeptical, after all, wearing steel-soled boots does not mean that Leyu is an agent of the Statistics Department, but they are more clever as gangsters: if they rush, even if Leyu is fake, they may not be able to beat it, and if Leyu is true, they will be finished; And if they retreat, no matter whether the music is true or not, they will have a reason to give an account to the boss, anyway, only the bald man will be beaten.
Le Yu is also very measured in his feet, except for the first time when he used tactics and skills, the other dozen or so are casual kicks, although he helped the bald man to have plastic surgery and repair his teeth, but it is not fatal, I hope that this beating from the society can make the bald man a new man.
Le Yu shook off the dirty blood from the steel-soled boots and continued along the path, when a voice suddenly came from the roof: "Hey, divide you in half." β
A money bag was thrown down, and Le Yu reached out to catch it, and found the Mai boy standing on the roof looking at him. Although dirty, his eyes were as bright as stars.
Leyu asked, "What do you mean?" β
"You helped me get rid of the fat man, so I should share half of you." The Mai boy patted his thin chest: "This is called justice." β
"Thieves are also fair? Then you are really a thief. Le Yu smiled.
"Is there a way to steal? I love that statement! The Mai boy's eyes lit up, "You were so majestic just now, you stepped on the thunder fat man, and the people who should be the boss didn't dare to trouble you, how did you do it?" Where did you mix it up? Shall I mess with you? β
Leyu smiled and stomped his feet: "You know where I am, right?" β
"So you're a black dog!" The Mai boy suddenly realized.
"Don't blame me for not reminding you, you can still run away by stealing the money of the gangsters, but if you dare to say black dogs in front of the black dog...... Then it's time to put your reincarnation skills to the test. β
"Cut, aren't you talking about black dogs too?"
"When you're eligible to wear these pair of steel-soled boots, you can say that." Leyu took out his pocket watch and looked at it, feeling that time was a little tight, so he ignored the little ghost and walked out of the path quickly.
The Mai boy looked at the back of Leyu leaving, and his eyes showed yearning and longing.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
'Damn, you're not going to be late, are you?' β
Because of the small episode on the way, Le Yu found that he seemed to be a little too late, and he was a little anxious - after all, this was not a date, but an underground meeting between a mole and an informant!
Dating your girlfriend, at most break up; The informant is afraid that he will not suspect that you have been arrested, so he will directly evacuate the city overnight, and the list of the dead will be written on you!
Le Yu naturally accelerated forward, and when he was still two blocks away from his destination, a small dim house next to him suddenly opened its door, and two dark lights erupted.
Rakuyu had already reacted very quickly - Thousand Plumes' body instincts were very strong - but the other party was faster and stronger than him!
Two hands locked Leyu's throat and left wrist like iron hoops, dragging him into the dark house!
In the darkness, Le Yu heard a cold voice:
"I've got you."
