Chapter 87: Cold and Rainy Night: A Message to be Interpreted
Lu Yu's first reaction after hearing it was to complain: "This footcloth must have a thousand words, the old man can really write ......."
Catherine rubbed her eyes and sat up, grumbling, "You don't know what you haven't read." In order not to be easily discovered, he deliberately wrote himself very lightly, and the font was so small that my eyes hurt just by looking at it. ”
She added hatefully: "It turned out that there was still nothing, this old thing talked so much nonsense, but he didn't say anything about business, he was really convinced." ”
Lu Yu smiled: "Don't get too involved in the play, these words were not written by Dominic McGuire, in fact, it is quite suspicious whether there is such a person, maybe the whole story is made up." What we see now is a clue deliberately left for us by the murderer suspected of being named Antonio Williams, and since this is the case, there must be useful information hidden in it. ”
"What did you find?" Catherine looked at the camera suspiciously. Lu Yu snorted: "Let's think about it together." Anyway, give it a try if you think of anything. Why don't we look elsewhere and search the room for any clues? ”
"That's all I can do." Catherine said helplessly.
She jumped off the 'bed', suddenly looked up and said, "By the way, that piece of information just now is not meaningless, at least I know that this room is the basement of this villa." Why don't you find a way to escape first, and then come down and save me?" ”
"Didn't my 'door' be blocked from the outside by clods of earth, did you forget? In this situation, I can't help it even if I want to escape. ”
"yes, I forgot......" Catherine lowered her head silently, her hair hanging down to cover her face, and she couldn't see her expression at this moment. As if she had thought of something, she jerked her steps and rushed to the table on the opposite wall, pulling open the drawer.
It was full of torture paraphernalia, and Catherine rummaged through it without fear, saying, "By the way, there may be some clues hidden in there, isn't there a proverb that says, 'If you want to hide a leaf, it's better to put it in a woods', maybe the designer also took advantage of people's blind spots and put the password in the middle of this pile of things." She said as she flipped through the things, and she was about to turn them over...... Lu Yu suddenly interrupted her.
"Won't you...... If you really want to put it in here, you should give a hint, not to mention that the people who are being held here don't have anything on hand, so what can they use to leave a password? It's not that you have to write. I suggest you start on the wall and look for where the password is written. ”
"Such a large room, with four walls, is an ordinary pencil, and the handwriting is blurry and small, it is like looking for a needle in a haystack." Catherine kept complaining, as if she had forgotten that she was the most dangerous one now.
Lu Yu said: "I have a suggestion, why don't you go through the satchel you carry with you and see if there is anything in it that can come in handy." Some everyday items may seem inconspicuous, but they may be able to make a big difference here. ”
Lu Yu was referring to the big 'women's' shoulder bag thrown in the corner. Obviously, since it was a tall man who fainted at the foot of the wall at this time, then this 'female' shoulder bag should be Catherine's, and this game will provide players with the necessary knowledge and skills when they enter the corner, Catherine naturally knows that this shoulder bag is hers, and probably knows what is inside.
She was slightly stunned and looked at the satchel in the corner. It was a gray 'color' satchel, the 'color' color and style were very ordinary, only a few small charms made it look like a 'girl' used thing. However, if you look closely, you will find that there is a strange thing about this satchel, that is, she is actually locked with a mechanism similar to the Nine Rings, although it is not a password or something that needs a key, but if it is not the owner, it is really not a simple thing for ordinary people to unlock this lock. Although Lu Yu's words can also be solved, looking at the complexity, it will inevitably take two or three minutes to 'spend'.
Lu Yu was suddenly 'quite curious', if it was solved by its original owner, how long would it take? He just said that he was looking for something to use in his satchel, but in fact, this curiosity was more important.
It's a pity that Catherine's eyes rolled, and she didn't play the cards according to the rules, and walked over and pulled the zipper directly open. As if she had a premonition of what Lu Yu was going to say, she explained: "Now the time is urgent, and it has taken too long to open the lock as usual." ”
"Oh...... Cut. ”
Unsatisfied, Lu Yu cut helplessly.
The things in the satchel are very messy, Lu Yu has never 'made' a 'female' friend, nor is he familiar with a 'female' and 'sexual' friend who can 'mess' through the satchel, at this time, when he looks at the contents of the bag, he suddenly feels eye-opening. In addition to a wallet and a few sets of keys, almost all the contents of the bag are related to dressing, such as hairpins and hair ties of various colors, combs, makeup cases, moisturizing sprays, and even a hair dryer! It was really an eye-opener for Lu Yu.
(It turns out that these everyday things can also come in handy in some special situations...... )
Lu Yu praised it in his heart, feeling that he had a lot more grasp of the next plan.
Catherine stood in front of the pile of items for a moment, then turned to the camera, "Hey, this pile doesn't look like it's going to come in handy." It's just a waste of time! ”
"Yes, that's right, it's me thinking too much." Lu Yu hurriedly compensated.
His gaze averted that she was puffing and snorting, searching the rest of the room...... Torture chairs, 'beds', tables, shackles on the wall, toilets, there must be some clue hidden somewhere in these places, and there must be some connection between that clue and the text on the wall.
Catherine was also looking for clues in the room at this time, and her mouth was still in pieces: "Hey, don't tell me the clues are in the toilet...... I'm not going to go inside and rummage through things. She looked quite impatient, but this is also understandable, being trapped in the same room as the murderer is enough to make people collapse, and being pulled by Lu Yu for a while to walk and interrupt her thinking mercilessly, no one can stand it.
"Miss Catherine! I seem to know the answer! ”
"Huh?"
Lu Yu said: "That text is useful, and the hint is that it talks about doing some simple climbing movements, or jumping up in pain." Why would a person who is locked in a basement need to do such an action? The only explanation is that he had to climb or jump in order to put something high. What this unrelated description is trying to tell us is that it means 'the password is written in a high place'! There's only one thing in this room that says 'Height'! ”
Catherine's gaze fell on the pair of shackles: "It's there! ”
"Yes!" Lu Yu was so excited that his tone increased, "The height of that shackle is designed to suspend him, to catch that shackle, he needs a small 'jump', and then he grabbed the shackles and then 'climbed' up, kicked the wall with both feet, held the shackles with one hand to keep it stable, and finally wrote the password on the wall in front of him with the other hand!" ”
There was no longer any excitement in his voice: "Miss Catherine! We are saved! ”
