Chapter 15: Hidden Clues
Hearing Qin Yiheng's voice, my tears almost fell out.
If it hadn't been for Bai Kai's desperate grabbing me, I would have rushed out of the closet.
I shouted a few words of national scolding, but no one answered.
Qin Yiheng said such a sentence, no matter how I yelled and screamed, there was no movement outside.
I tossed around in it for a few minutes, and I knew that Qin Yiheng had already left. The person was really tired this time, and he went limp directly.
Bai Kai persuaded me: "Don't think so much, I think the painting in this closet was painted by Qin Yiheng." Now that I've been given instructions for the next step, you're always going to have some eyebrows when you do it first. β
Bai Kai's words are not unreasonable, but they are obviously painless and non-itchy. I'm too lazy to take a stubble, so I'll try to take a closer look at the current situation.
First of all, the painting in this wardrobe must contain some information, otherwise Qin Yiheng would not have spent so much effort painting here.
But this raises the question that if he wants to tell me, dictating or simply writing a note is easier than drawing, and he is doing a bit of a trick.
I said in my heart that Qin Yiheng didn't get a glimpse of the answer, but just handed me the riddle of his knowledge of the Dao, and asked me to help guess it?
But if that's the case, he knows my skills very well, and leaving it to me to guess won't help him.
Secondly, Qin Yiheng's words just now made people very suspicious.
There is still a house that has not been received, this sentence may sound easy to understand, but when you think about it, it contains a lot of information.
There is also a house, which means that there is anything special about some of the houses we have received?
Qin Yiheng has been collecting this type of house? Or do these houses have something in common?
I carefully recalled that the two of us have been doing this business for so long, and we have won a lot of houses. Although each house has some strange things to be more or less strange, and the story behind each house is different. But if there's anything in common, I can't think of anything in common.
I said in my heart, could it be that Qin Er has some kind of collecting habit? This is obviously impossible.
I thought about it for a long time, but I had no clue.
I simply revealed my thoughts to Bai Kai as they were. I wanted to ask him what he thinks.
Although we haven't known each other for a long time, Bai Kai has sacrificed his life to save me several times. Now I'm afraid he's the only one who can give me advice.
Bai Kai smacked his mouth and thought for a long time: "If you want to find the answer to things, there is usually only one way, you need a clue, a clue that can connect all the questions." In this way, you will ensure that your thinking will not be biased. I ask you, if you need a clue to connect the dots between the houses you have received, what do you think it would be? β
I shook my head in confusion and said, "Filth? β
Bai Kai reminded: "No, you have to find a clue that is more stable and will not be affected by the outside world." β
I woke up and said, "You mean the house price?" This is not right, although the housing prices in many cities are bullish as a whole, the price changes are still quite large. Moreover, Qin Yiheng is not so much of a pursuit of money at all, and he doesn't care how much money he made after the most reluctance. Now that I have suddenly become a money fan, let me close the house, and prepare to make the most money and wash my hands and return to my hometown to get married? Do you believe it? β
"You're in a hurry! Lao Tzu means time! TimeοΌ You know what! Bai Kai said angrily, if you think about it carefully, from the time you do business to the present, every house you take over will have a chronological order! Time is the most stable clue!
I thought about it, too, starting from the first house and ending with the last house. No matter how this changes, the time of closing the house will definitely not change.
I said, "You mean, let me pay attention to some houses that I received at a certain time?" For example, they are all harvested in May, or are they all collected on the 12th? β
Bai Kai shook his head and said, "No, I just want to remind you that you must first confirm that the clues in the series are accurate, so as not to mistake the direction of analysis." β
Bai Kai's words made me completely confused, he was fucking discussing philosophy with me?
My brain cells can't think about such esoteric questions at all now, and besides, even if I have enough brain cells, Lao Tzu is not interested.
I sighed, a feeling of helplessness that made me want to cry.
I'm not crazy if I go on like this, I'm afraid Bai Kai will be crazy.
I didn't speak for a long time, and I lit the lighter in vain. Shine on me.
The firelight illuminated the wardrobe red, and the paintings on the wardrobe became even more eerie.
I looked at the painting, and suddenly I understood what Bai Kai had said. The most stable clue is time, which I have always known subconsciously.
So no matter what speculation is made, no matter what assumptions are made, this is never doubted.
But what if that's exactly what the problem is?
Chronologically, chronologically! Order!!!
What if the order is wrong?
I startled myself, and I had an idea. started from the first house, and then experienced the large and small houses with Qin Yiheng. It seems that many houses Qin Yiheng have easily come up with a way to solve it.
And judging from the later situation, he had a lot of things to hide from me early on.
Could it be that many of the houses I visited with Qin Yiheng had actually been there early in the morning? It's just that you took me again again!?
What I think is the correct chronological order is actually the opposite in Qin Yiheng's eyes?
For example, I always thought that Qin Yiheng and I went from point A to point B together.
But what if Qin Yiheng walked back to point A from point B alone?
I snatched the lighter from Bai Kai's hand and followed these drawings.
I understand, these paintings were not collected by Qin Yiheng after he discovered the wardrobe.
Rather, he had seen the paintings early in the morning.
I don't care if I understand it or not, I just need to pour out my thoughts to someone.
All of them poured into Bai Kai.
Bai Kai made several noises in a row, patted me on the shoulder fiercely and said, "Lack of heart, you are finally hard once." Gotcha, now you have the second highest IQ among the survivors in your closet! β
Bai Kai squatted down and said, you tell me about the experience, the more detailed, the better. Now that you've got the hang of it, we can finally fucking communicate!
I rubbed my temples, I've been through so much, and if I really talk about it, it's a big project.
But I don't know how long I'll have to hide in this dog's closet now, and it's better to have something to say than to face the confined darkness.
So I told the story of what I had encountered from the beginning of my first business, little by little.
As for my old memories, I did think that when I was old enough to write them, I might be able to sell them for a big price.
But I didn't expect it to be so soon.
I spoke in the dark for a full hour, but I didn't say much at all.
The night's tossing and turning made it difficult for my brain to concentrate. At the end of the day, my mouth was dry and my throat couldn't make a sound. I can't go on at all.
Bai Kai also saw that it was indeed not the place to speak now, so he didn't ask.
The two of them were quiet in the closet for a few dozen minutes, and then I heard the sound of the white watch dripping. It should be in the chime.
Bai Kai immediately pushed open a small crack in the wardrobe door, and said excitedly: "Xiao Que, it's dawn!" I can get out of the way! β
Before Bai Kai's words fell, I had already instinctively rushed out.
The brightness outside made it difficult for me to get used to it for a while, and I couldn't open my eyes at all.
There was a lot of sunlight in the cabin, and I went straight into the sunlight. I felt like I had never liked the day so much, and I wanted to sleep on the spot.
"Fuck, get off the boat first!" Bai Kai dragged me up with difficulty. When I turned around and looked around, the bed compartment was unsightly, and there was blood everywhere. I didn't want to look at it anymore at all, and just instinctively walked down the boat.
Out of the cabin, I saw the familiar blue sky and sea. The sea breeze hit me in the face, and I was in a trance.
Where the hell were we last night? When did the ship quietly and silently sail back again?
I turned my head to look at Bai Kai, and he was also surprised.
But that's not what I want to think about at all right now, I just want to go to the hospital to bandage my wounds and get a good night's sleep. If I could, I would like to choose to sleep first.
Bai Kai helped me get off the boat, and there was no one on the boat. The docks were also empty.
Bai Kai arranged for me to be in a nearby hotel, and I slept in the dark.
At noon the next day, I was woken up by a phone call.
Bai Kai said on the phone: "Let's go, come to the hall to have a good meal first, and I'll tell you what's going on on the ship later!" β
