Chapter 629: The Mystery of Secret Writing
In the puzzled eyes of everyone, Shi Liya smiled and left the room. After a while, she turned back again, and everyone was surprised to see that Shi Liya was holding a few garlic grains in her hands.
She walked over to the table, took out a blank piece of paper, and spread it flat on the table. She mysteriously squeezed her eyes at the crowd, took out a garlic head, and carefully peeled off the garlic coat.
Shi Liya took out a travel knife from the package, gently cut a small cut on the garlic head that had been stripped of the garlic coat, and squeezed it hard.
A pungent smell touched the nose and entered everyone's noses, and almost everyone involuntarily covered their noses.
Shi Liya squeezed out the garlic juice again and drew a few times on the spread white paper. Then she blew on the blank paper a few more breaths until the marks on it were completely dry.
Shi Liya picked up the blank piece of paper and raised it a few times in front of everyone. Looking at the blank paper, everyone's hearts were full of doubts, and they didn't know what Shi Liya was doing.
Just when everyone was flustered, Shi Liya spread her palms at Zhang Yuanshan and said slyly: "Brother Zhang, borrow your lighter for use." ”
Although Zhang Yuanshan didn't understand what medicine was sold in Shi Liya's gourd, he reached out and took out the lighter from his pocket without thinking and handed it to Shi Liya's palm.
Shi Liya held the white paper out of thin air with two fingers in her left hand, lit a lighter with her right eye, carefully approached the white paper, and slowly baked it.
After a while, something surprising happened to everyone. I saw that on the snow-white paper, four burnt yellow words slowly appeared: Bamboo Forest Garden!
The handwriting is beautiful and beautiful, and it is Shi Liya's handwriting. It's just that why was there a blank piece of paper with nothing just now, but the name of this mountain villa in Shi Liya's handwriting appeared?
Zhao Wan'er suddenly realized: "Sister Shi, are you saying that this is how the words on Shi Lin's photo came from?" ”
Shi Liya nodded with a smile, and everyone suddenly realized, only then did they understand Shi Liya's strange behavior just now, it turned out that she went to the kitchen and asked the chef who was still cleaning the dishes and chopsticks for garlic, and came back to show everyone the reason for the mysterious handwriting on the photo.
Li Bing couldn't help but exclaim: "Sister Shi, you are so smart, how did you come up with it?" ”
Shi Liya playfully pointed to the photo of Shi Lin, and handed the blank paper in her hand to Li Bing, and said with a smile: "Li Bing, don't you know if you smell it carefully?" ”
Li Bing took two things, really put them to his nose and sniffed them carefully, and sure enough, he smelled a faint smell of garlic paste from the photo and the white paper.
Shi Liya smiled and said, "Li Bing, you should understand by now, right?" I've always wondered how a line of words appeared inexplicably on this photo of Shi Lin, so I kept staring at that photo. After a while, I seemed to smell the faint smell of garlic on it, and after a little thought, I immediately understood. ”
"This is the simplest cipherwriting technique, and it was widely used as a simple means of espionage in the early days. During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the War of Liberation, limited by the conditions of the time, many people engaged in clandestine work often adopted this simple and effective method. Write words on a white piece of paper with garlic juice, and when it dries, it will not leave any traces, and in the eyes of others, it is just an ordinary blank paper. ”
"If the white sheet is close to the heat source, as long as it reaches a certain temperature condition, the dried garlic juice on it will produce a chemical reaction, revealing the charred handwriting."
Li Bing said in surprise: "In this way, the words on this are not written by Shi Lin's ghost, but someone deliberately wrote them to pretend to be a ghost?" What is his purpose in doing this? ”
Zhao Wan'er said: "There should be someone, or even Shi Lin's ghost, thinking that someone in this villa murdered Shi Lin, but I wasn't sure who was the murderer, so I came up with this trick to observe everyone's reactions, so as to determine the murderer." ”
Li Bing thought for a moment, nodded and said, "What Wan'er said makes sense, but the person behind the scenes, how can he be sure that the murderer of Shi Lin must be able to see the content on this photo?" ”
Shi Liya thought for a moment and said: "I think this may be an oversight on the part of the person behind the scenes, although he cleverly set this trap with all his scheming, but he forgot that this villa is extremely cool even in the middle of summer, and this strategy he set up is very likely to not be able to display the handwriting behind the photo because the temperature cannot be reached." ”
Unexpectedly, Li Bing took out this photo to show Jiang Wei, it was a knock on the mountain and a tiger, but he didn't know that there was another mystery on it. But because Jiang Wei prepared a hot pot for us, Li Bing held the hand of the photo and put it on the side of the hot pot, and the handwriting on the back of the photo was baked by the heat of the hot pot. ”
Everyone sighed, and Zhao Wan'er quipped: "Li Bing, it seems that this is the manifestation of your ancestor Li Chunfeng." You are the decryptor of a series of mysterious events surrounding Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng's location in Qianling, and you have your own providence in the dark, so that you are self-defeating The words behind this photo are displayed. ”
Li Bing said happily: "Wan'er, don't make fun of me." Think about it, who could this mysterious figure be? actually set up this strategy so cleverly, if it weren't for Sister Shi's familiarity with history books and knowing the secret of this secret writing, maybe we would have let that person be blinded, and I really thought that Shi Lin's ghost had appeared! ”
Shi Liya smiled slightly and said, "Although I don't know who this mysterious person is, since he is so attentive, it shows that his relationship with Shi Lin is extraordinary." More importantly, he determined that Shi Lin was not missing, but dead, and Shi Lin's death must be related to one of the people in this villa. Perhaps, he also thought it was a collective murder in the villa, didn't that crazy woman Zhang Yafang say it? 'She's back, you're all going to die,' the word "you" means it could be a mass murder. ”
She paused for a moment, thought for a while, and then said, "This mysterious person should have never entered this mountain villa, otherwise, he should know that the mountain villa is extremely cool, and this strategy of dense writing may not take effect." ”
Li Bing suddenly realized: "Yes, Sister Shi is right. I suspect that this crazy woman may know the inside story of Shi Lin's murder, or maybe it is because of this incident that she was stimulated to go crazy. The mysterious figure deliberately put Shi Lin's photo on the pile of stones where the mad woman often went to worship, just to convey the message that Shi Lin's ghost was about to return to the villa for revenge through the mouth of the mad woman. ”
Zhao Wan'er said in surprise: "It seems that this mysterious person is going to implement his plan to avenge Shi Lin!" Since it is not a haunting, but someone is pretending to be a ghost, it is best to ask the police to intervene to avoid a tragedy in the villa! Li Bing, you quickly contact Yu Chen, tell him about the situation here, and ask him to come and solve this case! ”
