Chapter 218: Solving the Puzzle

The lid of the vent is of louvered structure, the four corners are fixed to the top with screws, and there is a dust net inside, which is very clean, and there is also no clue that Mr. You may have left. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info

Chen Zhen's time on the third floor was only a few minutes, even if Mr. You was very fast, he could take down all four bolts, remove the cover and get in, there was no way to screw the bolts back from the inside, and there was no trace of damage to the shutter, only the fingers could be stretched out, and there was a limit to how flexible the fingers were.

He tried to unscrew the bolt, but found that it could not be screwed at all, the screw head was regular hexagonal, with a Phillips groove at the top, which could be twisted with a wrench and a Phillips screwdriver, and it was still very new, not rusty, and should not be unscrewed.

Chen Zhen didn't exert all his strength, otherwise even the shutter cover could be twisted and curled, he let go of his hand and wanted to take a closer look, and the shutter cover was connected to the dust net.

Hurriedly holding on, he found that the four screws were all fake, there was a hinge on the side of the cover against the door, and there was a button on the opposite side that was buckled on the ceiling, no need to open any mechanism, you could pull it down with force, although Chen Zhen was pulling it down in the wrong direction, but it was still pulled down.

The four walls of the general ventilation duct are a thin layer of iron sheet, which is easy to deform, and people will "clang" when they press it after climbing in, and the ventilation duct of the theater is even more exaggerated, and it is actually paved with plastic, but it is painted silver-gray.

Plastic has a certain elasticity, it is not easy to deform, and it will not be pressed, but the plastic cannot bear weight, and it is easy for people to crush the connection when they climb in, but the ventilation duct of the theater is dug out of the ceiling, and there is a ceiling load-bearing, so there is no need to worry about crushing.

The thickness of the ceiling is amazing, and the holes that have been dug out can be easily drilled into, and there is no need for buried wires, buried water pipes, etc., and there is a lot of space.

The walls are so thick that it's easy to see that there are compartments, but few people notice the thickness of the ceiling, floor, and exterior walls, and dig a secret passage through them to hide as many people as you want.

Chen Zhen climbed in and took a look, and found that this ventilation pipe was completely a maze, not long after climbing in, there was a fork, and then there was a vertical fork in the front, and there were ladder-like things on it, although the second and third floors only had boxes attached to the wall, and there were not many places to dig, but to dig out such a labyrinth, it still took a lot of energy, and it had to be prepared at the beginning of the design.

He didn't go any further, there were no signs, no instructions, no references in the ventilation ducts, they were the same everywhere, and he didn't even know where he was while crawling, so he retreated to room 211, closed the vents again, and went down to the first floor.

The role of the puzzle is already very clear, that is, to indicate where Sister Cong is in the ventilation duct, if you don't know where she is, if you want to find her directly, I'm afraid it will take dozens or hundreds of people to find it.

Traps can be used to maneuver around enemies for a long time.

You still have to solve the mystery first before you can find Sister Cong.

Back in the background, Chen Zhen came to the stairs, and while searching carefully, he walked up, carefully observing every staircase, including the handrails, walls, and ceilings, and checked them without any clues.

The stairs up only lead to the second floor, and the down leads to the basement, since the prompt is "the staircase in the background", then there is no point in looking for places outside the stairs, up and down are all done, and there is no further going inside, Chen Zhen returned to the first floor, to be precise, this is the backstage, the underground and the second floor are not counted.

Why the staircase in the background? There are two staircases in the theater, specifically for the backstage, which are supposed to distinguish them from the staircase in the foyer.

The difference between the two blocks is the shape.

The stairs in the background are very ordinary, more than ninety percent of the stairs in the world are like that, there is nothing special, the left and right are asymmetrical; The staircase in the foyer is more common in large shopping malls, the lower section is wider, and there are narrower stairs on the left and right sides leading to the second floor after going up, and you can go up on any side of the corner, and the left and right sides are symmetrical.

Around the o'clock on the calendar, Chen Zhen stood in front of the stairs, looked at the stairs, and also saw the left and right.

Left up, right right down.

The date is not divided into up and down, and the calendar is not divided, but the location on that piece of paper is divided up and down, from the top to the bottom is one to ten, from the bottom to the top is ten to one, and on the calendar of box No. 301, the lower left corner of the square printed with "one" is a little, that is, one is counted from the bottom to the top, and the last line of words is "truss warehouse".

Without the hint given by Lao Wang, this piece of paper alone would not be able to solve the puzzle, if you ignore the location of the point, just to find the clue of the calendar, you have to go to the stage to find it, and when you get on the stage, you will be seen by all the audience and the guards of the troupe.

And with hints, the puzzle becomes simple, and the answer is not difficult to think about, and whoever it is, sooner or later will come up with the answer.

In the basement, the atmosphere has become different from before, I didn't go inside when I checked the stairs just now, and I didn't walk inside for a long time, and I smelled blood.

There was a corpse lying outside the door of the equipment maintenance room, nailed to the wall by a spear, and the body had hung down, but it could not be thrown on the ground, indicating that the part of the gun pierced into the wall was long enough, and there was no strong "momentum".

There was also a corpse inside, with a screwdriver stuck in his shoulder, his face was extremely pale, his right hand was gone, his left shoulder was sunken, and his broken hand was lying in the corner of the wall, and there was a lot of blood on the ground, someone stepped on it, and the bloody footprints extended to the front.

As I continued to walk, I saw more corpses on the road, all of which were members of the gang of "robbers" who brought Chen Zhen and Mr. You back, that is, the guards of the troupe.

The destination is Ge Xin's office, that is, the clothing warehouse, Sister Cong is hiding in the labyrinth-like ventilation pipe, temporarily safe, what to do now is to find out the person named Zheng Sandao and eliminate it, Ge Xin is likely to be a traitor, he doesn't know the hint of the puzzle, then he should know where Zheng Sandao is.

There are many warehouses on the basement level, and the terrain is complex enough, and when he came to the corridor where the office was located, Chen Zhen walked a few steps, stopped, and turned back sharply.

A knife spun and flew over, extremely fast, but unfortunately it was still a lot slower than the crossbow bolt of the steel crossbow, Chen Zhen raised his hand and held the handle of the knife very accurately.

"Huh?" In the darkness where the knife flew, there was a sound of surprise.

Chen Zhen looked at the darkness, the other party underestimated him, so let that person continue to underestimate, it's a good thing not to be taken seriously by the other party, he didn't wear a blindfold, he didn't enter a state of madness, so as not to expose his identity, anyway, the other party threw a knife, and it should come out soon.

The knife is a good knife, and at the end of the handle is a smiling ghost head, sharp and heavy, with a thick back and a sharp edge, which is better than the pair of Yanling knives he gave to hold high.

The knife is not simple to throw, not only the power is large, but also the amount of advance is calculated, Chen Zhen is on the move, if you don't see it well, it is likely that the handle of the knife hit Chen Zhen's back after flying over, if you don't stop and look back, the knife must be pointed at the back when it flies to his back.

Footsteps sounded, and a young man walked from the darkness to the light, with a red palm print on his face, stretched out his hand to Chen Zhen, and said, "The knife can be returned to me." ”

"The knife is good." Chen Zhen waved it, the blade was heavy, there were blood stains on the knife, the shape and thickness of the handle were very suitable, there would be a comfortable feeling after holding it, and he picked up the pair of Yanling knives, and changed to Sister Cong's news, and then "picked up" this one, maybe he could change it to something better in the future.

"Do you want me to compliment you on your knowledge? Save it, at the level of you people, boasting about the knife is simply insulting this knife. The man sneered, still holding out his hand, waiting for Chen Zhen to throw the knife back.

"Where is Zheng Sandao?" Chen Zhen didn't throw the knife, and threw out a question.

The young man frowned and said angrily, "You also deserve my master's nickname?" Why don't you kneel down and kowtow a few times to apologize, if my master knows, your whole family will die. ”

"If you want to apologize, you have to wait to see him, where is he?" Chen Zhen listened to the movements around him, since the apprentice had already appeared, the master should also be not far away.

"No, it's the same if you knock me, it's okay to lick my shoes clean, I accidentally got some blood just now." The young man said and put his feet forward again.

Chen Zhen frowned slightly, feeling that this young man was a little inexplicable, throwing a knife to kill people, and if he didn't kill it, he had to ask the other party to return the knife, he was so naïve that he was like a child who was not deeply involved in the world, Zheng Sandao was such a terrible character, the apprentice was afraid that he would not be naïve, and he really thought that this young man's naïve talent was really naïve.

Again and again, he provoked again and again, and threw the knife over in advance, without holding a weapon in his hand, obviously luring Chen Zhen to make a move.

Chen Zhen couldn't get out of the way, but just made a knife throwing motion, and at the same time, his eyes glowed red, releasing darkness.

The darkness has been able to cover a large area, the surface vibration can not be integrated into the object, and the cracks are drilled, and the warehouses and offices in this vicinity are not sealed, and the darkness can easily penetrate through the cracks in the door.

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

A few string sounds appeared outside the darkness, and the crossbow bolts shot into the darkness, shooting towards the location where Chen Zhen had just been.

Chen Zhen was still there, not leaving, but lying on the ground, not to dodge the crossbow arrows, nor to avoid the two knives that cut the wall.

There were people in the room on both sides of the corridor, and the partition wall stood next to Chen Zhen, and the timing of the young man's knife throwing was just right, just so that Chen Zhen came to the middle of the two of them, and after the darkness was released, the two of them took out their knives at the same time, splitting the wall and slashing at Chen Zhen.

Chen Zhen originally didn't have time to hide, but after the darkness was released, the young man in front of him immediately lay down, and he didn't know the reason, so he also fell down.
