Yang Wenbin unfolded the note and read out the contents: "That young man's mind is very shrewd, and my fear is not unfounded. Even the Joker sees him as one of the great threats, and I can't imagine what would happen if one day he found out about me and my crimes. I decided to start my investigation from the place where he was frequented, which was this street. ”

"None?"

"Nope." Yang Wenbin flipped the note over and read it over and over again, "I think the 'young man' mentioned on the note should be the person he wanted to kill mentioned in Tao Mingming's diary." ”

"So this is the rest of Tao Mingming's diary? Additional notes? Yan Junli asked.

"I guess so, that's right. Or rather, it's one of the pieces of the puzzle in the clown game. This game is supposed to be a jigsaw puzzle. Yang Wenbin judged, "If we follow the puzzle, we should be able to piece together a complete story at the end and find Tao Mingming." ”

"Then the question is-" Li Hongxu folded his arms and paused, "Why hasn't our ice cream been delivered yet?" ”

Yan Junli slapped Li Hong on the back of the head.

"Oops, hey, don't let me make a joke." Li Hong rubbed his head, and at this time, the waiter also happened to push the door and walked in, bringing Li Hong and the ice cream ordered by Poppy. The group sat down again, studying the room of the box.

"So, this should be our second stop, and the puzzle must be hidden in this room." Yang Wenbin raised his head and looked around the entire box, trying to see any clues, "Is this time still looking for numbers?" ”

"It's definitely something like that. We're all going to have to use this diary to crack it in the end, so the password must be a number. Poppy also stood up and looked around the box, trying to find some clues.

But I couldn't find anything different in the whole room. The room is brightly painted for couples and young girls, filled with pink bubbles and cute patterns, and a row of dancing girls takes up most of the wallpaper. In addition to the pot of succulents on the windowsill, there were a few clean plates, the floor was wooden, and a few extra benches were stacked in the corners.

"To be honest, I don't see any clues." Yan Junli was the first to admit defeat and spread his hands as if giving up, "No matter how you look at it, this is an ordinary ice cream shop." Is it possible that the password was hidden on that note? ”

"I can't see it, but the patterns of these villains on the wall are almost dizzying." Li Hong sat back on the stool and shook his legs very dishonestly.

"Wait, what did you just say? Say it again? Yang Wenbin was suddenly stunned and looked at Li Hong directly.

"Uh...... I said, these wall patterns are almost making me stunned? Li Hong said cautiously.

"What pattern?" Yang Wenbin asked excitedly.

“…… Small, small? Li Hong was inexplicable.

"That's right! That's it! That's the villain! Yang Wenbin suddenly slapped the table, startling everyone, "Don't you think the patterns of these villains are a little strange?" Look at that girl, how can there be a normal dance move that will be upside down? There are also these wallpapers, which can be seen at a glance to be new for a long time! ”

Several people looked at him inexplicably, blinking, still unclear.

"Dancing little man!" Yang Wenbin said loudly, looking at this group of people who were still in the clouds in disbelief, "Oh my God, don't you understand? O villain! Dancing villain! ”

Yan Junli and Li Hong, you look at me, I look at you, and they all shrugged their shoulders.

"Doctor Yang, if you know anything, let us know quickly, okay?" Even Poppy waved his hand impatiently, "We don't have time to sell it to you." ”

"Oh my God, it looks like you really don't know." Yang Wenbin let out a long sigh and questioned in disbelief, "None of you watched Sherlock Holmes?" Such classic reasoning? ”

"Sherlock Holmes?"

Yang Wenbin let out a long sigh, waved his hand with an expression of hatred for iron, and patiently explained, "The dancing villain is a very famous case in the Sherlock Holmes detective collection, and what is even more famous is the password in this chapter. Our common passwords are numeric numbers in addition to letters, or Morse code composed of the frequency of flashing lights. But the password in that case was unusual, it was made up of a group of dancing villains. ”

As he spoke, Yang Wenbin took out a napkin, took out a signature pen and drew on it, and soon showed it to others.

"That's the kind of villain."

"Isn't this just an ordinary stick figure?" Li Hong looked at it and said.

"No, these little people represent letters." Yang Wenbin shook his head, "This one who raises his hands and raises his right foot is A, and this one who raises his feet but does not have two arms represents B." According to the different movements of different villains, they represent 26 different letters. At that time, it took Holmes a long time to crack it, but fortunately, we were lucky that this set of codes had already been organized into a system by later generations, and we could directly decipher them. ”

As he spoke, Yang Wenbin turned to the wallpaper in the room and pointed to the dancing girls, "Although the pattern here has changed, the movements of the villain are the same." In the original pattern, the flag in the villain's hand was replaced with a hydrangea in the girl's hand. ”

"What does the flag mean?" Yan Junli interjected and asked.

"The flag is the last word in a sentence or the last letter in a word. Placed here, I think it must be the last number representing a group. Yang Wenbin said and squatted down to carefully study the patterns on the wallpaper, while beckoning Li Hong, "Xiaohong, I said you remember." ”

"Hey!" Li Hong immediately picked up the pen and paper.

"h-k-l with flags, with flags, with flags, with flags." Yang Wenbin looked at the patterns on the wallpaper and said them word by word.

"Wait, did you memorize the entire password sheet?" Yan Junli asked incredulously.

"Of course, this is a dancing villain!" Yang Wenbin said as it should be.

"Write it down!" Li Hong said, "Then you just need to turn these letters into numbers in alphabetical order, right?" ”

"That's right, don't think about it." Yang Wenbin stood up straight, and spit out a string of numbers in a flat tone, "After changing to numbers, it will be 12." ”
