Chapter 17 The Phantom Clone of the Wall S W G R D S Part I

“SWGRDS、SWGRDS… What does that mean exactly? ......" Jiang Xinglong frowned, his eyes scanned the wall in front of him back and forth, racking his brains to think. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info

"Let's think about it one by one, and the first footprints are towards this wall, so the wall in front of us can't get out of it anyway." Luo Yifan continued his words.

Because he was thinking wholeheartedly, Luo Yifan also habitually frowned slightly, but unlike Jiang Xinglong, he only frowned slightly, and his eyes were fixed, as if all his attention was focused on his brain.

Luo Yifan's expression is more like a habitual action, and in addition, there is a person whose expression is exactly the same as his, as if both of them have such a habit.

Jiang Xinglong didn't pay attention to this, he naturally continued: "Then, the English of the wall is wall, the initial letter is w, and the letter given to us by the murderer has w, and the wall can be counted as a backup information." ”

"Well, the color of the walls is white, white is white in English, and the initials are also w." Luo Yifan said.

"And what about S?" Jiang Xinglong asked.

"I know this," Lu Huimei said anxiously like a primary school student reporting the answer to the teacher, "Shoe prints, the English of shoe prints is shoe, and the initial letter is s." And the fridge, um... Refrigerator can be read as refrigerator, the first being R. ”

Bian Benyi, Yuan Mu Hibiscus and Li Song Wei may also be because they don't know English, so they all listened to them in silence at this time.

Luo Yifan said: "Let's not just think about the items in this room, I think the murderer wrote the code in the red room outside, it will not be without intention, there must be something related in the red room." Also, the white room 'Snow' opposite it, which we can't ignore. ”

"Judging from the layout of these two rooms, they seem to reflect or shadow each other, could there be any meaning in this? The English word for shadow is... shadow, the reflection is... invertedimage or ...... InvertedReflectionInWater, if the initial is wrong, then the shadow should be more appropriate. ”

Speaking of this, Luo Yifan turned his head to look at the others and said, "Who has a pen and paper?" Or whose phone is still charged? ”

The other five shook their heads in unison.

"I... I left my bag on the first floor in a panic, and my phone was naturally there. Lu Huimei said.

"We too, we didn't bring the bag with us, but my husband did have a mobile phone, but you know, I don't know where it fell." Yuan Mu Hibiscus continued, and at the same time turned his gaze to Li Song Weiyi on the side.

Because Li Song Weiyi has been carrying her small bag on his body, too, since he left yesterday afternoon, only Li Song Weiyi has not had the opportunity to put down his belongings.

Seeing everyone's inquiring eyes, Li Songwei hesitated, as if there was something unspeakable, but she still whispered: "There is a notebook, but there is no pen ......."

"Give it to me." Luo Yifan said immediately.

A little panic instantly swept over the maid's cheeks, she bit her lip, her eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and her eyes were slightly tilted to the side, as if she didn't dare to face Luo Yifan's gaze.

The maid's hand slowly took out a small black notebook from her bag, and her hand trembled slightly as she handed it out.

At this time, everyone gathered together, and the distance between them was about the same, Jiang Xinglong naturally understood the meaning of Luo Yifan's notebook, he wanted to record the words that everyone thought of, and then analyze them one by one.

So Jiang Xinglong stretched out his hand to the notebook in the maid's hand and said, "I'll record it, I have a fountain pen with me." ”

Just when Jiang Xinglong's hand was about to touch the notebook in Li Song Weiyi's hand, Luo Yifan took the lead and quickly took the small black notebook from her hand, his movements were extremely fast, and even Jiang Xinglong was stunned for a moment because of his movements.

Jiang Xinglong turned his head and glanced at Luo Yifan, who still had a calm expression, and his dark pupils were slightly red. Jiang Xinglong couldn't figure out why this person's pupils were this color. even wondered if he wore contact lenses all year round.

However, now is not the time to study these, Jiang Xinglong didn't say much, just took out a miniature fountain pen from his trouser pocket and handed it to Luo Yifan.

After taking the pen, Luo Yifan said: "Then, let's retell what I just thought of, and I will write it." ”

"Well, first of all, the wall wall and white white, and the shoe prints and refrigerators that Miss Emi said, and the shadow shadows you said. That's all I just said. ”

Without letting anyone else speak, Jiang Xinglong quickly summed it up, and it seemed that this industrialist's memory was not bad.

"Okay." Luo Yifan quickly finished writing these words, and the original diary in his notebook was already half full, so he flipped to the middle place before starting to write.

This is a small crusty copy, not much larger than Luo Yifan's palm, so it can be easily held in the palm of the hand to write. Luo Yifan wrote a beautiful hand of Chinese characters, the font is not large, and the people on the side can vaguely see that he has carefully classified words with different initials.

Luo Yifan continued: "In addition to the shadows, the connection between the red and white rooms has... Relative to the color, the word for color is colour, not quite right. Then red is red, and this can be written down. ”

When Luo Yifan spoke, he didn't look at the others, but at Jiang Xinglong.

From the few sentences of dialogue just now, Luo Yifan could see that the English of Bian Benyi and Li Songweiyi did not seem to be very good, and Lu Huimei knew that he knew English, but she didn't have much hope for that level.

The only person who may have better English here is Jiang Xinglong, at least he is often in contact with foreigners because of his business, and his English level is probably not bad.

So Luo Yifan naturally had a selective dialogue.

"Well, I want to think about it,......" Jiang Xinglong said: "The words of corpses include cadaver and corpse, these two can be interpreted as corpses, and remains means bones and wreckage, well... There are also deadbodies, dead bodies, and so on, among which both remains and deadbody can be written down. ”

"As for the connection between the two rooms... The size of the room should be the same, the shape and size of the furniture and the balcony should also be the same, the steps of the balcony, the metal handle at the entrance to the secret passage, the location of the wooden block that opens the entrance to the secret passage. ”

"There is also the size of the wooden blocks on the parquet wall on the inside of the balcony, and the number of skeletons on the security net on the outside...... The glass sliding doors are also three, and the size is the same. ”

Jiang Xinglong said a lot of nonsense in one breath, and Luo Yifan just listened quietly. The others also listened quietly to him.

"I think since the letters appear in 'Red Flame', then we should first analyze the things in 'Red Flame', except for the same place as 'White Snow', the difference is first of all the corpse I just said, which is not in 'White Snow'."

Unconsciously, Jiang Xinglong seemed to start calling the two rooms 'Chiyan' and 'Bai Xue' very smoothly, perhaps because of the relationship he remembered when he heard Luo Yifan mention it just now.

"Then there are brains, blood, neither of which seems to be right......" Jiang Xinglong fell into thought.

"So, what about cracking, shattering? The head of the corpse was shattered by the murderer, and the switch shaft of the wooden board that sealed the secret passage was also broken by the murderer. Also, the head of Fan Xin'er's corpse was cut off, so the break can also be added. ”

Luo Yifan opened his mouth to remind.

"Hmm... fracture, fracture, fracture, no; Break, it's not right; split, split, this initial has; cutintwo cut, no; Breakapartbychopping chopping, this one isn't right either. Jiang Xinglong said.

It seems that Jiang Xinglong's English level is really good, and he said several words and short sentences without interruption in one breath.

"Then write down the word split." Luo Yifan immediately wrote it down.

While writing, Luo Yifan himself is also analyzing: "Furniture, balcony or veranda, shape, furniture, balcony initials are not right, only shape shape can be adopted." ”

The two big men analyzed all the words they could think of, sentence by sentence, and carefully recorded them.

The final summary of what is in the notebook is:

SWDRGS

S: Shoe shoe print Shadow shadow split split Size size steps step Speedy swift shape shape

W: white wall wood parquet

D:dark, darkness disappears, door door, deadbody, dead body, dead body

R: reflex reflex refrigerator ram slammed into red red remains, bones, wreckage

G: glass

The reason why the verb speedy is mentioned in this table is because Luo Yifan and Jiang Xinglong both felt that after only half a day and one night, the murderer had created so many incidents, and it was impossible to act quickly.

And that RAM is Luo Yifan thought of the fact that he hit the wall on his shoulder because of the smell of his fingers in the dark passage, and he thought that this was also deliberately done by the murderer, to make them think of something, so he took the initiative to add the word ram impact.

After writing, Luo Yifan tore the page from the notebook, but did not return the black notebook to Li Song Weiyi, but put it in his jacket pocket.

He turned the paper over to the group and said, "Can you think of anything from these words?" ”

Words that seem to be unrelated are arranged on paper, and it can be difficult to put them together in a sentence or to connect them to what they mean.

The six of them racked their brains and thought, and Bian Benyi and his wife even took the paper in Luo Yifan's hand and thought it carefully in front of them.

After a few minutes, Bian Benyi lowered his hand as if he had given up, sighed and said, "Alas! Xiao Luo, I really can't think of what these words represent? Could it be that the murderer is not interesting in the first place, and you are too careful? ”

"No, the murderer will not leave a message for no reason, there must be some connection here."

Luo Yifan bent down slightly to take the paper in Bian Benyi's hand, turned his head and asked Jiang Xinglong: "Do you think it is possible for these words to be connected into a sentence?" ”

"This ...... It's a little difficult, but I feel like I can figure out something from it, which is the relationship between the walls and the colors. Jiang Xinglong cleared his slightly hoarse throat and continued:

"Because I'm in a hotel business, you know that opening a hotel involves all aspects, interior decoration and lighting are two essential parts, and I know that different lights have different effects. I think you should know that too. ”

"For example, different colors of tube bulbs, illuminated from different angles, etc., may give people the illusion that you are performing a stage play, and the lighting on the stage should be higher than the requirements in our hotel, right?"

At this time, because of nervousness and hunger, several people did not speak as vigorously as yesterday. I drank the water last night on the first floor, and the humid weather meant that no one was particularly thirsty.

"Yes," replied Luo Yifan, "in order to create a stage effect, the use of lighting is very important. If it's about light, the word we can pick out is...... Red, white, shadow, reflection, and by extension, the word 'glass' can also be added. ”

"yes, I think we could add 'walls.'" Jiang Xinglong added, and took the torn paper.

"You see," he said, turning the paper in a direction that everyone could see, "whether it's the red of the 'red flame' or the white of the 'snow', what is it that plays a dominant role in our vision?" Think about it. ”

"Yes...... Walls and furniture bar, because they are all one color. Yuan Mu Hibiscus said.

Jiang Xinglong didn't seem satisfied with her answer, and asked the others again.

"I don't know... I just felt like I was surrounded by white or red when I entered those two rooms. Lu Huimei hesitated to say what she felt.

Jiang Xinglong turned to Luo Yifan, but he didn't ask Luo Yifan's opinion directly, just looked at him and waited for him to speak.

Luo Yifan has always maintained a special thinking expression, although he is constantly giving analysis, but the focus of his eyes seems to have been focused on his heart.

This is indeed Luo Yifan's habit when thinking about problems, a habit that he may not be aware of. Especially when he was thinking about a lot of things at the same time.

A few seconds later, Luo Yifan said: "It should be the relationship between the lamp, I always feel that whether it is 'red flame' or 'white snow', it is not as red or white as I imagined." Most of the time since yesterday has been at night, and even if it's dawn, none of us would have thought to turn off the lights in this situation. ”

"So the lights are on all the time. The only time it went out was when we first saw the bloody scene in the red room last night and we fled in a hurry, but it was only for a moment, and it was impossible or impossible to look into the room. ”

"So none of us have seen what these two rooms look like during the day when the lights are not on...... No," saying this, Luo Yifan turned to Li Song Weiyi, stared at her and asked:

"You should have seen it, haven't you been working here for a while? So, if you think about it, is there any difference in the colors in the two rooms during the day when the lights are not on? ”

Suddenly asked, Li Song Wei trembled at a loss, she looked up at Luo Yifan, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she thought for a while before saying, "No, I didn't feel any difference." ”

"That's strange," Jiang Xinglong said, "is it that we are thinking in the wrong direction?" ”

It can be clearly seen from the way things are handled that Luo Yifan and Jiang Xinglong are both very sharp in thinking, and when others have no clue, they can always sort out their ideas in time.

At this point, the two men were obsessed with the color of the walls and the room, and they must have thought of some definite idea, and it seemed that the two of them thought of going together.

But from Jiang Xinglong's words, it can be heard that the answer given by Li Song Weiyi is not what they want to hear. So, is Li Songwei also lying?

However, after listening to Li Song Weiyi's words, neither Luo Yifan nor Jiang Xinglong expressed skepticism about this.

Maybe it's not that you don't doubt it, but that you don't show it. Or do they think she's unquestionable? This is only the two of them who understand.

However, Luo Yifan received a little question, in fact, it was not a question, just a question, it was his girlfriend Lu Huimei who said it.

"Yifan, I remember that you have been here a few times before, think about the difference between what you saw then and now."

"Well...," Luo Yifan thought with narrowed eyes. "I didn't pay much attention at the time, I was here very rarely, and I never stayed here for more than a day, and I didn't stay on the second floor in a serious way. So I don't remember much. ”

At the moment when Luo Yifan spoke, Yuan Mujin and her husband sat on the refrigerator next to them, and their legs and feet were a little unbearable.

After sitting down, Bian Benyi sighed vigorously, with his temper, he was already impatient, he really couldn't think of what Luo Yifan and Jiang Xinglong were thinking, and at the same time worried about the fate of himself and his wife.

This old accountant, who has been dealing with money and numbers for most of his life, is really powerless against this complex logical thinking.

'Leave it to fate! After another sigh, Bian Benyi thought.
