Quinn College, Sherlock Detective Agency.

All the members of the detective agency gathered in the conference room, among which Zheng Hanfei and Ouyang Xiu all made a thoughtful expression, and the atmosphere was extremely quiet, which not only made the others feel some shivers.

"What do you think about that call?" After a long time, Ouyang Xiu slowly spoke, which relieved the rest of the members, who had been indulging in that atmosphere, or it wouldn't be long before they would all be schizophrenic.

"It is better to believe what you have than to believe what you don't have." Zheng Hanfei pointed to the note on the table, "Don't discuss this, the main task now is to discuss what to do." ”

"What to do? Hasn't this code been unraveled? Gu Jie scratched his head, he didn't believe that this code could stump Zheng Hanfei and Ouyang Xiu, two super high-IQ figures.

"No, I've already solved this code, it's just ......" Speaking of this, Zheng Hanfei glanced at Ouyang Xiu vaguely, who nodded and reached out to take the note.

"I'll explain it!" Ouyang Xiu said, "First of all, PTE, do you know what this means?" ”

"Young Learners' English Test?" Nan Ruoxun opened his mouth without thinking, "Pearsontestofenglish!" ”

It's a pity that her answer was despised by everyone, especially Ouyang Xiu, who patted his head, he finally understood what Zheng Hanfei meant when he said that she was sometimes naïve like a child.

"Maybe it's the Portuguese escudo, the currency of the Portuguese Republic." Di Luo suddenly spoke, "And the 26 coins in the back are 20, 5, and 1, and the patterns on them are the key to solving the puzzle." ”

"Good idea! It's a pity that you're thinking a little complicated. Ouyang Xiu nodded, signaling him not to be discouraged, at least his answer was much more reliable than the innocent girl's answer.

"And what's the answer?" Nan Ruoxun looked at Ouyang Xiu a little unconvinced, as if to say that you don't know either.

“periodictableoftheelements！”

The audience was shocked, they didn't expect Ouyang Xiu to actually say this answer, and what made them couldn't keep their mouths shut was that Zheng Hanfei nodded on the side, which meant that Ouyang Xiu said the correct answer.

"I see. And this trick. Qu Menghan chuckled, "PeriodicTableoftheElements, which translates to the cycle of chemical elements, and the number behind it is the 26th element, which is iron." ”

"So, the first word of the road of destiny is iron, just find the street that starts with iron?" Gujie continued, "I remember ......"

"It's useless!" Zheng Hanfei interrupted his thinking, "There are many streets in Huaxia Kingdom, and there are more than 300 streets in our province that start with iron, can you try them one by one?" ”

"Just give me 3 days, and I'll promise to complete the task!" Gu Jie patted his chest and said confidently.

"No way!" Zheng Hanfei rejected his proposal, "Although the puzzle left by the afterimage does not tell us the time, it is best for us to go as early as possible, so if we don't solve it, your proposal will not succeed at all." ”

Gu Jie didn't speak anymore, and sat down in a depressed spirit. It seems that Zheng Hanfei's denial is still a big blow to him.

"Go on." Zheng Hanfei said to Ouyang Xiu a little irritably.

"As for the second sentence: 'It will be inherited by two boys', it reminds me of an anagram, which is Yuan." While speaking, Ouyang Xiu answered with a pen on paper, "The meaning of 'two' can be understood as 'two', and the meaning of the kid can be understood as 'son', and when combined, it becomes 'yuan'!" ”

Hearing Ouyang Xiu's explanation, everyone suddenly realized that this puzzle would not be difficult at all for a person with a high IQ to solve, and at the same time, they also knew that if they could produce the afterimage of this kind of puzzle, their IQ would definitely not be bad.

"In this way, the road of fate is 'Tieyuan Road'!"

"That's right! As for the poem that points out the leader later, it is also composed of anagrams, 'Mandarin birds sleep with the grass', according to the meaning of the word, you can get the word 'Yuan', and 'the remnant moon shadow left in the bush' can get the word 'cui', and finally combined, it is 'Yuan Cui'. ”

"Grandma Yuancui?!" Katie exclaimed, "How could it be her?" ”

"Don't be surprised!" Zheng Hanfei said, "When I unraveled one or two sentences, I thought it was her, she once told me that her home was at No. 32 Tieyuan Road. ”

"Have you confirmed that?" Katie asked.

"Nope." Zheng Hanfei shook his head, "I don't know her phone number, besides, she and I can only be regarded as strangers and can't get much information, so I want you to call and get more information." ”

"It turned out that I was used as a tool!" Katie said angrily, but according to Zheng Hanfei's request, she picked up the phone and dialed Yuan Cui's phone number, after all, she is a member of the detective agency, and the club has been provoked so much, does she have a reason not to help?

"Hey, hello, Grandma Yuancui, it's me, Katie." Within a few seconds, the phone was connected, and Katie hurriedly asked, "I want to ask you, have you received any strange letters or anything like that, and the signature is an afterimage." Kindness...... Kindness...... It was Zheng Hanfei who received his puzzle and then ...... Okay, I see, goodbye Grandma Yuancui. ”

At this time, everyone in the club looked at Katie who hung up the phone and wanted to hear the information she had obtained, especially Zheng Hanfei and Ouyang Xiu, both of whom had confident expressions on their faces.

"Zheng Hanfei is not wrong!" Katie said slowly, "This week, at seven o'clock in the evening on Saturday, there will be an exhibition at Grandma Yuancui's house, and the main character of the exhibition is the gem known as the 'Star in the Shadow', and the day before yesterday, they received a notice of the afterimage, the meaning of which has not yet been solved, so she wants to invite us to protect the gem." ”

"I don't have time on Saturday." Gujie first said, "I'm going to Grandma's birthday party. ”

"Neither do I."

"Neither do I."

……

In the end, there was time on Saturday, only Zheng Hanfei, Ouyang Xiu, and Qu Menghan were left, and the three of them looked at each other and couldn't help sighing, they understood each other's helplessness.

"I'm sorry!" The rest smiled awkwardly.

Zheng Hanfei waved his hand, signaling that he didn't care about this at all, as long as the most important thing was that Ouyang Xiu, who was about the same ability as himself, had time, of course, he didn't mean to say that others couldn't, if it was misunderstood by everyone, the consequences would ...... He knew it clearly.

"It was decided." Ouyang Xiu slapped the table and said in a straight voice, "This invitation, me, Menghan and Zheng Hanfei will participate in the trip, and as for the rest, after listening to our results, we will write a report of more than 2,000 words." Zheng Hanfei, don't be late! ”

"You think I'm you!" Zheng Hanfei snorted disdainfully.

"Adjournment!" After speaking, Ouyang Xiu got up and left the conference room, while the others also walked out of the room one after another, leaving only Zheng Hanfei and Qu Menghan with a thinking face.

"Huh? Why don't you leave? ”

"I want to hear your thoughts, look at your appearance, you still have questions about this matter, right?"

"Indeed." Zheng Hanfei said, "I'm not sure about going to the appointment this time. ”

"Is this you?" Qu Menghan was a little surprised, she never seemed to hear that Zheng Hanfei was still unsure, "When did you become so unconfident in yourself?" ”

"Because I have a hunch! At that point, I will use the second personality. ”

"If you don't want to, Hugh and I will do the same as last time."

"That's not the problem." Zheng Hanfei shook his hand, he understood that no matter how he described it, Qu Menghan would not understand, because this was his intuition, and no one could know better than him.

……

On Saturday, No. 32 Tieyuan Road, two hours before the start of the exhibition.

At this moment, the door of Yuan Cui's house was crowded, and Zheng Hanfei couldn't help but think that he had gone to participate in the exhibition held by Sterling, but this time there were many fewer well-known people than that time, of course, this did not mean that Yuan Cui was not famous, but Yuan Cui himself did not like to be too lively.

"Hanfei, here!" Just as Zheng Hanfei and Uncle Wang were about to squeeze into the crowd, he heard Qu Menghan's voice, looked back, and saw Qu Menghan and Ouyang Xiu standing not far away, and beside them, there was a young man who seemed to be in his twenties.

"Menghan, are you dressed beautifully?" Looking at the beauty in front of him, Zheng Hanfei had to say, it was so beautiful, the blue dress reflected her gentleness even more, and with her appearance, it seemed that she was really a fairy.

"Thank you. I didn't expect Uncle Wang to come over, it seems that Uncle Wang is still healthy and strong in the past. Qu Menghan smiled slightly.

"I didn't expect it to be you little girl! This is the eighteenth change of the female college, the more you change, the better you look, I almost don't recognize you. Uncle Wang said with some surprise, "I think you didn't say goodbye back then, but you frightened the other three, especially the young master......"

"That's right!" I don't know if it was unintentional or intentional, Zheng Hanfei interrupted Uncle Wang to continue, making Ouyang Xiu on the side a little disappointed, "I don't know if this is ...... yet."
