Chapter Twenty-Eight: Puzzle Solving, Prizes

In the car, Ji Cheng reported the incidents on the morning of May 1 to the tea fairy one by one, but when it came to the section of the Immortal Garden, he concealed the content, saying that he and Li Wei just went around inside and came out. At that time, the third mobile phone did not have time to install a listening device, so his words could not be verified, and Cha Xian did not ask any further.

The identities of the deceased in the conference room had been confirmed at noon, each of them was a wealthy merchant and magnate from Dragon County, and the tea fairy had obtained this report while he was still on the plane, and according to his estimates, the shock caused by this incident was far greater than the armed clash between the Iron Commandment and HL, and the chain reaction of these people's deaths would become more and more obvious in the next week, until it reached the point of no control......

Halfway through the car, the members of the listening team in Li Wei's villa suddenly took the initiative to communicate with Ji Cheng. Before leaving, Ji Cheng communicated with them once and said hello, which basically meant that His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince was about to visit, so that Li Wei had a mental preparation. Who knew that at this moment they actually reported that Levi was missing.

The tea fairy took a cup of tea, took a sip, and said in a calm tone, "Then you don't have to go to see him, it seems that he is useless." ”

This is a luxury car, there is a very spacious space in the back seat, which can accommodate up to six people to sit in a circle for a small meeting, at this time sitting with Chaxian In addition to Ji Cheng, there are also two middle-aged men, they are the top two leaders of the Beijing HL branch, after hearing this, both of them are in a cold sweat. The words "It's useless" mean that Li Gongzi was killed in half a day, under our noses......?

Before they could think about it, the tea fairy spoke again, "Let's go and rescue the hostages first." ”

Ji Cheng said on the side: "But...... The current whereabouts of the hostages ......"

The tea fairy put down the teacup, picked up a pen, casually tore the report in his hand, and said while writing on the back: "3│3,3,3/6 is just a small puzzle based on Chinese characters, not a very difficult code to decipher, the number represents the number of strokes, and the symbol represents the structure of the word." 3│3 is a left-right structure of the character, with three strokes in the left and right halfs, the second number 3 represents a Chinese character with only three strokes, and the third number 3/6 has led the experts in deciphering the code into a misunderstanding, and of course, they never seem to have been correct.

In fact, / does not mean a slash, Tianyi is to send information in the form of mobile phone text messages, the characters in the text message are limited by the line height, in fact, 3/6 represents three-sixths, that is, this is a word with an upper and lower structure, three strokes above, and six strokes below. This number is an obvious hint that he doesn't write 3/6 as 1/2, which means that it has nothing to do with math calculations, and that the numbers represent an exact quantity. ”

Ji Chengdao: "I understand! So, now just find out the Chinese characters that correspond to each number, the structure and strokes match, and then put them together to cross-test......

"3│3,3,3/6,'basement'. The tea fairy said directly: "2, 3/2, 2/2, 3√4, 'No. 2 warehouse', √ represents the root number, the upper left package structure. There is also a third new one, 4/4, 6, 7│6, 'Youth Road'. ”

"This ...... How ......" The other three people present did not know what to say.

"There are more than 20,000 Chinese characters, about 3,000 commonly used, assuming that he gave a place name, under the prompt of structure, strokes, and combinations between words, combined with the geography of Beijing, the above is the only reasonable conclusion. The tea fairy said: "He starts with the most specific location, then the name of the building, and then the street, and this way of giving the address in reverse order shows that he did not rule out the possibility that you can decipher the code in the first place." With Tianyi's approach, even if you know the law of solving the puzzle, you need to get at least three pieces of information to find the hostage. If, on the other hand, he gives which district and then which street in the usual order, once the code is deciphered, we can find the hostages by a carpet search in a certain area with only one or two propositions. ”

He threw away the pen and paper and took another sip of tea, "This so-called kidnapping is just a 'game' for Tianyi, in this game we are completely at a disadvantage, he controls everything so far.

Levi is an insignificant person, his role is to let the other party achieve the goal of 'pulling a hair and moving the whole body', Tianyi must have a bigger conspiracy, that is his real plan, and what is unfolding in front of us at this moment is just the tip of the iceberg......"

The two leaders were completely stunned, Ji Chengpin still had a little reaction, he thought for a while before he said, "...... In a word...... Let's go get the hostages out first. ”

............

Levi took the rental to the house he saw on the computer earlier, this place is in the suburbs, and it is also a high-end residential area, with a lawn, a garage, and a two-story apartment.

After sending the driver away and wandering around the door for a while, Levi made up his mind to go to the door and press the doorbell, but there was no response, and there was no sound in the house. After pressing it a few more times, it was still the same, and he tried to turn the doorknob, but the door actually opened.

The room was empty, completely empty, the floor was concrete, there was no wallpaper or paint on the walls, and the doorbell was probably the only appliance in the whole house.

"Anyone?" Levi didn't dare to close the door, just covered it up, took a few steps inside, shouted, and still didn't respond.

He thought to himself that since he came, let's find out where the so-called "prize" is, judging from the ability to do things without leakage before Tianyi, he will definitely not be able to get something back, anyway, it is not difficult to find something in this house, open the door, scan it, and the whole room will be searched.

So he started from the second floor and searched from top to bottom, but there was nothing, and finally the basement was left. Levi took the courage and tiptoed down, thinking to himself that if this place was still empty, it would be the best outcome, and he would finally get rid of this so-called game completely, and just turn around.

Who knows, when he walked down the stairs in the basement, he really saw an unexpected "prize".

In the dim basement, there are a few things, a light bulb is on the ceiling, and there is an easy chair in the center of the basement, Jiang Yun is sitting on the easy chair, wearing a plain dress, and her hair is carefully combed, like a beautiful girl in a fairy tale.

She wasn't tied or gagged, just staring blankly ahead, silent.

"Jiang Yun, are you alright?" Li Wei rushed over, half-squatted down, and grabbed her shoulder: "Did they do anything to you?

Jiang Yun raised his eyes and looked at Levi: "Why are you here now?"

"What are you talking about?" Li Wei thought that the other party would be so happy that he burst into tears, but he didn't expect to get such a sentence: "I'm here to save you." ”

"Hmph......" Jiang Yun sneered, and a cold and evil smile appeared on that white face, like a ghost, making people shudder: "Come now, come now...... Actually, it's all the same. She didn't seem to be listening to Levi at all, but was talking to herself.

"What are you...... What's going on...... What did they do to you?" Levi grew frightened, withdrew his hands, and stepped back.
