Professor Kim's previous leader of the alliance was the famous Alain Brown. Turing, that is, the man who is known as the father of modern computers. He famously said: No matter how tough a fortress is, it can't withstand an enemy from within.

Dai Lan pulled out a crumpled piece of white paper from the cowhide bag given to him by James Knight.

At that time, the art of papermaking had already spread from the East, and there was a rather large paper mill in Glasgow City. There was a great deal of enthusiasm among the people at the time for this novelty.

Throughout the empire, dozens of newspaper factories were born. The most famous are the Thames Daily and the Highland Weekly. Books of all kinds also became popular.

However, in general, paper is still very expensive, and the average person can afford it at home, but they are reluctant to do so. A copper tor can only buy five palm-sized pieces of white paper. A normal book costs at least 20 copper tors, which is a week's ration for a family of four.

Dai Lan also borrowed the light of the Robertson family, so he could easily get some straw paper from the Ministry of the Interior.

The first note was flattened on the table, and a total of 13 little people were crookedly fiddling with their limbs, and they were like dolls that children doodled with graffiti.

"Dear Murray. Butler, you can tell without me that each doll represents an English letter, right? Dai Lan lowered his voice and said slowly.

Murray's voice came out of his head: "That's true. I really can't think of anything else other than Latin. ”

"You're saying it well, Latin, and it doesn't exclude Spanish, German, French, and the like." Dai Lan nodded slightly, and had to admire the rigor of the Englishman's speech, "However, these villains do not have special tone signs, and they appear in the Scottish region, so far we can only assume that they are in English." ”

"But how do you know the letter that each villain represents?"

Instead of answering Murray's question, Dai Lan asked him a question: "In English. Which letter appears the most often? ”

Without a pause, Murray replied, "Needless to say, of course it's the letter e." Oh! I see! Three of the thirteen villains are the same! Most likely, of course, this e! ”

In that row, there is a small figure with his arms raised and his legs stretched out, and it appears three times, in the second, third, and twelfth positions.

"The butler is really smart." Dai Lan snapped his fingers, took an inked quill and drew the little man on the crumpled paper that appeared three times, and wrote an E letter on the back.

"But as far as I know, it's rare to have 13 letters in English."

Dai Lan shook his head and pushed the tip of the pen up, pointing it on top of the villain. It stands upside down, its legs spread apart, resembling two antennas, and its arms merging together to one side. The most special thing is that he holds a small square flag in his hand. It's as if a clown is performing a handstand dance.

"Of the 13 people, it was the only one holding a small flag, and I judged that it was the end of a word, not the beginning." Dai Lan pointed to the villain at the beginning again, "It doesn't have anything on its hands." ”

"Totally makes sense. Now we know, these are two words. The second and third letters of the first word are both e. Murray sighed, "But there are still 25 letters that I can't identify." ”

Dai Lan rubbed his fingers and nodded in agreement.

By this time, the sun had completely set, and Dai Lan tightened the curtains. Although his window was facing the backyard of his house, he still needed to be careful that the spies of each family hid in the trees in the distance, waiting for an opportunity to find out what news.

The pine branch oil lamp was lit, and the burning wick was gently flicked, and the whole room was sprinkled with soft light.

Dai Lan continued: "The following things will require a little luck. There are many words in English that have two e's in the second and third places, such as bee, feed, and heel. But among these words, there are very few seven letters, and if you exclude some that are impossible, there are really few words. ”

"Meeting! It must be Meeting! Murray suddenly shouted in his head, so noisy that Dai Lan's brain cells were about to explode!

The young man smiled: "Look, haven't you already guessed it yourself!" As long as you use logical analysis, it is not difficult to do. ”

"Mr. Dai Lan, you are really too smart, the Golden Alliance Master really didn't choose the wrong person! But what's next? ”

"Because there is so little information, even if I know the relationship between the letters of Meeting and the little puppet, I still can't guess the text behind it. So, I had to keep an eye out for the news of the dancing villain again. ”

"It wasn't until I returned from Celtic Castle this afternoon and saw a new villain appear again in the market triangle that I felt like I had an opportunity." Dai Lan became very excited, his eyes flashed with excitement, and the fire in the room reflected on his young face, which looked extraordinarily energetic.

Dai Lan pointed to the newly transcribed row of villains, this time there were as many as 22! Three small flags appeared, indicating that these were three words.

"When I first saw them in the triangle, I knew immediately that my previous judgment was correct. First of all, this should be English, and secondly, the argument of the letter e is also accurate, because this time there are two e's in the last two words. "Dai Lan is in a good mood.

"But, my dear Blue Knight, we don't seem to have enough clues so far."

"That's not enough." Delan agrees with Murray, "But, if it's a bold guess, we'll still get some hints." ”

Dai Lan pointed to the first word that appeared, which had seven letters. Dai Lan then covered himself with ink and replaced the small puppet in the first word with the letter deduced from the word "Meeting" on the paper, resulting in the following row of words (the hash sign is an unknown letter):

T##ig#t

Mr. Murray, the old butler of the world's best puzzle-game (the most common crossword puzzle printed on the London Underground), exclaimed: "Tonight!" It must be this word! Gosh, there's nothing more reasonable. ”

Dai Lan raised his left and right hands at the same time, and his middle finger was bent on top of his index finger, making a gesture that he hoped to do.

"If the first word is tonight, I think the second must be a specific number time." Dai Lan said with certainty.

With the help of the perceptual signal from the subject's eyes, Murray "looked":

T#e##e

Then he blurted out, "That must be Twelve." ”

Tonight at 12 o'clock!

Going around and around, it's finally time to get to the bottom of Emily and Luther's secrets.

For some reason, Dai Lan suddenly had a bad feeling that if Emily was really involved in some secret organization that needed to be contacted by codecodes, it would not be a fun thing.

Then, two people looked at the last word at the same time, and everyone knew that it should be an address:

#e#roglie

"Looks like we're wrong! Dear Mr. Dai Lan, Murray's voice was confused and muffled, "As far as I know, there is really not a word in English that has 'roglie' in it. ”

"Who said it was English?" Dai Lan touched her lips and asked rhetorically, "Have you forgotten where Aunt Susan is working as a kitchen helper?" ”

"deBroglie! De Broglie Tavern! Murray suddenly brightened, as if he had struck a bolt from the blue in his own head.

The old man exclaimed, of course he knew that de Broglie was a popular French name.

Tonight at twelve o'clock, at the de Broglie Tavern.

Dai Lan took the pen again and completed the first word, and its full text was:

Meeting-Cancel.

Dai Lan let out a sigh: "This also explains why the eldest lady had such a stunned expression when she saw this row of villains." ”

Then, he paused and sighed, "What is the meeting Emily is going to attend?" ”

Dai Lan couldn't help but be a little worried, the Robertson family was secretly designed, step by step towards the abyss.
