Chapter 118: Deciphered
And so on, the warp and weft ......
Although my English is not very good, I can still remember the English abbreviations of East, West, North and South. north
, South S, East E, West W......
It dawned on me that the letters in front of this string of numbers probably represented the latitude and longitude lines! Damn, I didn't even think of such a simple thing!
I immediately ran to the garbage can, picked up the piece of paper I threw in, didn't care if it was dirty or not, just picked it up, shook the ashes, and then took out a pen from my body and continued to draw on it.
S27, e12, or s27, e120, that is to say, I can basically determine the meaning of the first few numbers, that is: 12 degrees east longitude, 37 degrees south latitude; Or, one hundred and twenty degrees east longitude and thirty-seven degrees south latitude!
I was so excited that I felt like I was about to touch the answer hidden behind the numbers. I continued to paint on the string of numbers, and if so, then the first two sets of numbers could be used to represent a place. So, what about the numbers that follow?
Most likely it was used to represent time.
According to the first case, 12 degrees east longitude and 27 degrees south latitude, then the following numbers 05152018. According to the second case, then the following numbers will be the same as one less zero, and become 5152018.
I will first separate the four numbers of 2018 and use them as an expression of the time of the year. Then only the middle set of numbers remains.
What kind of time does it want to express? Hours, seconds, or months?
I think the month is more likely. If, according to Wu Mian, since someone wants to pull me into a so-called "game", then he probably wants to tell me the time and place of meeting through this string of numbers.
Compared with straightforward and easy-to-understand Chinese, using this combination of numbers and letters without spacing is naturally the best choice.
So, what the last remaining number means to me is: May 15, 2018.
If all of this is confirmed, then it is necessary to make a choice in the geographical orientation of the previous site, whether it is 12 degrees east longitude or 120 degrees east longitude.
I believe that the person who wrote this note should not use 0515 to express the number, after all, it is written on a note, not an electronic message on a computer, so the zero before May 15 does not seem to have much meaning.
Therefore, I am more inclined to the idea of 120 degrees east longitude.
So, the meaning that this string of numbers finally wants to convey was formed in my mind: on May 15, 2018, at 120 degrees east longitude and 27 degrees south latitude.
Time, place, all are there, only the characters remain.
I picked up my phone and looked at today's date, and found that today was May 10th, less than five days after the number told me. Now that the whole thing had piqued my interest, I decided that I had to go to this place on this day and see what was going to happen.
I went to the library's computer and searched the map on the Internet for the location of 120 degrees east longitude and 27 degrees south latitude.
After double-clicking the mouse, a point on the map appeared in front of me, but I thought I was mistaken, because the place was so far away. At 27 degrees south latitude, it has left Chinese mainland far away, and even left Asia, to the southern hemisphere, far from the mainland, through the Indonesian archipelago.
At this time, my mind was even more foggy, what kind of person would let me leave the continent where I am and go to such a remote place?
I had no idea at all. Perhaps, after all, this is still a prank by some boring person, maybe Wu Mian is hiding in his room at this time and laughing at me. If I let him know that not only did I believe him, but that I had really cracked the code for a day, he would be so happy that he would die.
I shook my head helplessly, then threw the paper into the trash can again, and walked upstairs.
Coming to Ouyang Qian's side, she was still engrossed in reading the book at this time, and seemed to be completely attracted.
I went to the bookshelf next to me, picked up a novel, sat down next to her, and began to read.
We probably saw that it was close to 7 p.m. before leaving. At that time, Ouyang Qian was still reluctant to put down the book in her hand, if it weren't for the fact that her hunger was far greater than her desire to learn at this time, I don't think she would have easily gotten up from her seat.
Still, she decided to borrow the book and decided to go back and study it.
Subsequently, Ouyang Qian and I casually found a small restaurant to settle dinner, and then left for home. I looked at the time and thought it was still early, so I decided to go back to my parents' house and see both of them by the way.
I bought some fruit on the street, and although I said it was my parents, I knew their personalities and never bought them for myself. Therefore, I would bring some fruit downstairs to their house from time to time when I was fine. It would be a pity if they didn't tell them that the fruit would go bad, and I'm afraid they wouldn't eat it.
After taking out the key and opening the door, I saw my mother sitting on the couch watching TV, and the sound of soldiers washing dishes was heard in the kitchen.
"What, it's Daddy's turn to wash the dishes today?" I opened the door and said as I took off my shoes.
"Ah, son, why are you back!" As soon as my mother saw me, she stood up excitedly, walked up to me quickly, and gave me a hug. I smiled and patted her on the back and said:
"I've just finished a case recently, so I'll take some time to come and see you."
"Lao Shao, your son is back, and he hasn't come out to see yet!" Mom yelled at Dad who was washing dishes in the kitchen.
"Oh, here, my son, what's so nice......" Dad walked out of the kitchen slowly, still holding the rag he had just used.
I put the fruit on the table and sat down on the couch with the two of them and chatted. It's nothing more than talking about some trivial things about my recent life, their health and so on.
Suddenly, my mom mentioned my brother to me.
"I said Fengzi, mom remembered, your brother Shao Mu called our house that day and came in......"
As soon as I heard his name, I immediately became alarmed.
"I told you, don't bother with him. It's enough for you to have me take care of you, this person, when will you treat our home as a home? ”
