Chapter 355: Cracking the Code
Although no one was caught, it was not easy to find Liu Zhong's whereabouts, but he still ran away. Shen Ruogu checked to see if there were any clues that could be traced around.
Rong Xiao felt that there was no need to stay any longer at this time, so he pulled Shen Ruogu and was about to leave: "Miss Shen, let's go look elsewhere, there is no result if we go on like this." ”
Shen Ruogu still felt that something was wrong here, and she didn't know if it was a trick in her heart or what, she still stubbornly said: "No, you can't leave yet, maybe there is some secret secret path here." ”
Then she looked at the teacup on the table in the room and touched it, and there was still some warmth. Rong Xiao didn't say anything, Shen Ruogu turned around and looked at the teacup: "Can you mobilize people from the government to help us search?" ”
Rong Xiao understood what she meant, and it was okay to think about it in a flash, so he hurriedly went to the local government to find someone to search here, this place is big, and it is difficult for Shen Ruogu and a few people to do it.
"Miss Shen, someone has been called, what to do, you can tell it yourself." Rong Xiao brought a group of well-dressed people, and it could be seen at a glance that they were from the government.
Shen Ruogu nodded and asked them to go to every corner of the place to search carefully, time passed minute by minute, and after about half an hour, they still found nothing.
Shen Ruogu wanted to give up at this time, and Rong Xiao also persuaded her to forget it and go back quickly to find her new whereabouts. Shen Ruogu didn't object any further, turned his back to the door and turned around to leave.
As soon as she went out, she felt a sudden flash of blood in front of her, and when she went out, she looked back and found that it was gone. Rong Xiao saw Shen Ruogu standing motionless, even as if he had lost his mind.
Rong Xiao ran over and waved in front of her: "Miss Shen, what's wrong with you?!" Shen Ruogu was still thinking about the scene just now at this time, and she really felt strange.
Shen Ruogu came back to his senses and grabbed Rong Xiao's dangling wrist: "I seem to have seen... Blood. Then he shook his hand away and strode over to the doorframe.
Rong Xiao was a little stunned by her series of actions, could it be that there were some demons and monsters at this time? He hurriedly asked his subordinates to come over and stand by at any time.
Shen Ruogu opened the door only to find that the blood stain was gone, she had never seen such a strange thing, which made her suspicion stop here.
Could it be because someone happened to close the door when Liu Zhong fled...... She was startled by her own idea, but she quickly confirmed what she was thinking.
As soon as she closed the door, several blood stains reappeared, and in other words, the blood stains were originally drawn along the threshold, and if the door was opened, it would be completely invisible.
And it's not easy to spot at all. Rong Xiao was also taken aback when he saw this situation, and hurriedly came over: "There will actually be blood stains, but why is this pattern so strange, it seems to have been left deliberately..."
Rong Xiao's words woke up Shen Ruogu: "You're right, this is likely to be a code!" She hurriedly found a pen and paper to draw the pattern.
After Shen Ruogu finished painting, he still felt a little suspicious, this pattern was incomplete at all, and it could even be said that... There are no rules, and no code is left to be like this.
Rong Xiao watched her busy and then looked at the pattern on the drawing in her hand, and didn't understand what was going on: "How can this be a code, it's too messy, it's not like it at all, could it be that someone accidentally left it." ”
Shen Ruogu shook her head, she looked at everything on the door frame again, and if she looked closely, she would find that the blood stain would extend to the ground.
It dawned on her that this was the breakthrough, and she had found the pattern of a flower after following the bloodstains. Rong Xiao marveled at Shen Ruogu's discovery power.
"Huh? Why is this flower pattern so familiar, I must have seen it somewhere. Shen Ruogu stroked the already faded blood on the ground, and his mind was a little uncertain.
Rong Xiao looked at her after hearing her and realized that something was wrong, the pattern of this flower seemed to symbolize a certain word, but he couldn't think of it for a while.
"It's Zheng Xiu..."Shen Ruogu muttered, she connected it according to the pattern left on the door frame, this symbol of this flower, beautiful and handsome, and the words on the door frame... It's "Zheng".
Rong Xiao looked at Shen Ruogu in contemplation dumbfounded, and he pointed to the door and the pattern on the ground in disbelief: "This, how can you tell... I'm not suspicious of you, I'm too surprised. ”
Shen Ruogu raised his eyes to look at the surprised Rong Xiao, hooked his lips and smiled: "I have a lot of contact with Zheng Xiu, so I can understand what she does." Then she looked back at the ground: "But I always feel that something is missing." ”
Rong Xiao didn't know why: "What's missing, so Zheng Xiu wants to leave any news?" Shen Ruogu had a headache, she looked for other clues everywhere and wanted to find out what was different, but there was still no trace.
In the end, Shen Ruogu had to give up and look for the details in the two patterns, but Rong Xiao felt that this was a waste of time. He was a little embarrassed to remind, "Miss Shen, is this really useful?" ”
"What if Zheng Xiu just wants to simply leave a trace? And we just found Liu Zhong's hiding place, how could she leave a secret message in such a short period of time. ”
Shen Ruogu also believed his statement a little, but since he had come, don't give up the opportunity at hand, any spot may succeed.
"Wait, I'll find out something." Shen Ruogu beckoned Rong Xiao to study the details with her, but Rong Xiao reluctantly listened to her.
The blood stains were left by Zheng Xiu, and there are flowers, and the blood may represent red, but they have not seen any famous red areas in their observation of Ningcheng in the past few days.
Zheng Xiu's favorite color is red and orange, and the flowers are beautiful flowers. Blood represents killing and crimson, while flowers represent purity and beauty. Shen Ruogu suddenly understood something.
"Come on, take the keywords on this drawing and go to Ningcheng to find out the relevant places!" Shen Ruogu excitedly shouted to the people on the side, and her subordinates hurriedly came over, and she handed over the drawings in her hand.
It reads 'Vermilion Bird Pavilion' and 'Red Flower Workshop', Shen Ruogu has always been misled by his own ideas, although there are no famous red buildings in Ningcheng, it doesn't mean that there are none.
Soon, they were taking the keywords and finding various places. In the end, Shen Ruogu checked carefully but only found a matching place - Old Book Pavilion, which also has the alias 'Vermilion Bird Gate'
Shen Ruogu quickly took Rong Xiao to the Old Book Pavilion, where must be Liu Zhong's whereabouts, but they didn't bring their subordinates, there were few people here, and too many would arouse suspicion.
However, Shen Ruogu and Rong Xiao waited until it was dark before they set out.
