Chapter 15: Puzzle Game

"Oh my God, really! It's so similar! Li Hong said in surprise.

"The two orbital parts of this skeleton are connected to form an '8'. The twisted baby is the number '2'. Yang Wenbin immediately understood what the poppy meant, and pointed out the numbers represented by the remaining paintings, "Xiaohong, take a note!" ”

"Good!" Li Hong immediately took out a pen and paper, "You said I remember!" ”

"That's β€”β€”."

β€œ.” Li Hong wrote them down one by one, looking at these irregular numbers, "Uh, and then what?" ”

"Probably gone." Yang Wenbin flipped through the photos of the murals and confirmed again, "These should be all the numbers." ”

"No, I mean that." Li Hong showed him the numbers he had written down, "These numbers are also irregular, how can they be cracked?" ”

"Dictionaries, of course." Poppy turned on the ultraviolet lamp on the side, and the blank page of the journal immediately appeared with glowing garbled characters, "Let's put these numbers into groups of three or three, the first number is the page number of the book, the second is the number of lines, and the third is the number of words." ”

"I see!" Li Hong became excited, and Yang Wenbin quickly began to flip through the book to find it.

"Page 5, line 6, word 8 ...... 'Hua'." The log was flipped through in Yang Wenbin's hand, looking for it word by word, "Page 2, line 9, word 17, 'East'." Page 20, line 1, word 23, 'West'. What the? What is 'Hua'? ”

Li Hong shook his head, "It still doesn't make any sense." ”

Yang Wenbin threw the diary on the table in disappointment, "It's still not right, it seems that our thinking is still wrong." ”

"Wait. Do you still have a picture that you haven't counted? Yan Junli interjected at this time, stretched out his finger and pointed to a picture of a demon painted on the wall of his bedroom.

"But I can't see any numbers on it." Yang Wenbin picked up the photo.

"No, Yan Junli is right. There are numbers on this picture. Poppy snatched the picture away, "It's a demon." Do you know what the numbers represent in the West the devil represents? ”

β€œ666!” Li Hong shouted.

"That's right, it's 666, that's it!" Yang Wenbin hurriedly opened the diary and found the last word, "'Street'." The last word is the street! 'Huaxi Street', that makes sense! ”

"It's a place name! East and West West Street ...... Could it be the commercial street near us? Yan Junli stood up and opened the curtains. From the windows here, you can see the bustling streets coming and going.

"I didn't expect the truth to be so close to us!" Li Hong shouted excitedly, "What are you waiting for, let's go!" ”

But when the three of them came to the street excitedly, nothing happened.

"There's nothing here." Li Hong sighed, pinched his waist and said, "There are no men in black or criminals waiting for us, and no corpses have been found." ”

Huaxi Street is one of the most prosperous commercial streets in City C, and there are many commercial houses lined up on the roadside. Young girls who have just finished school walk in and out of snack bars and clothing stores holding hands, private cars whizzing past them, and occasionally they can hear advertisements such as "Jump off buildings and sell prices" shouted through loudspeakers.

Yang Wenbin glanced at the poppy beside him and said, "Is what you think the same as what I think?" ”

Poppy nodded, looking up at the street, "This street shouldn't be the end, it's just a step in the final level. We should be able to find the next clue from here. ”

"But this street is so big, where can we find the so-called clues?" Yan Junli complained.

Yang Wenbin glanced around, and then a clown statue standing in front of an ice cream parlor caught his attention. The clown was standing upright, being pulled by a bear child with that funny hat, which was originally a funny and ridiculous expression, but in Yang Wenbin's eyes, it became a little terrifying.

"I feel like I've found a place." Yang Wenbin walked straight to the ice cream parlor.

Yan Junli gave a somewhat surprised look, "You're quite familiar with this street." ”

Yang Wenbin shrugged his shoulders, "There are several snack bars on this street that are doing well, and I come here often. ”

The ice cream parlor looks ordinary, filled with young couples and middle school students. Yang Wenbin and a few big men walked in and said that it was light. Yan Junli was embarrassed and didn't know what to do, when a young and beautiful service lady took the initiative to come over.

"Is it Dr. Yang Wenbin?"

"I am." Yang Wenbin replied.

"Oh, please go this way for a few reserved spots." The service lady warmly invited the three of them into the house and took them to a small private room in a corner.

"Wait...... We don't have a reservation. Yan Junli was a little inexplicable.

"It's a lively young man who made an appointment for you, and he specifically said that you need this box here, and said that you will understand as long as you come." The waiter smiled and put the menu on the table, "What dessert do you order?" ”

"No, we're not hereβ€”" Yan Junli was halfway through his words when he was interrupted by Li Hong on the side.

"Trouble for a cup of strawberries and three balls! Thanks! ”

"You-" Yan Junli raised his hand and gave Li Hong a burst, "Do you know what we're here for!" ”

Li Hong touched his head aggrievedly, "Hey, I won't let you pay for it, and I won't be allowed to eat ice cream...... Besides, how embarrassing it is for us to sit and not eat. ”

"Well, Xiao Li has a point." Poppy also raised his hand, "Vanilla ice cream, trouble." But I don't have any money, so I'll trouble you to ask the gentleman next to me for an account. As he spoke, Poppy pointed to Yang Wenbin beside him.

"You-" Yang Wenbin shook his head angrily and laughing, "Forget it, for the sake of you helping us so much, I'll ask you." ”

"Thank you for patronizing, ice cream will be coming soon!" The service lady walked out of the room with a smile and closed the door for a few people.

"Alright, now it's time to get down to business." Yan Junli looked around, "The clue should be in this room." Everybody split up and looked for it! ”

It didn't take long for Yang Wenbin to find a note under a pot of succulents on the windowsill.

"Found it!"

"What's written on it?" Yan Junli and Li Hong both came over.
