People are like this, the age of the heart is timid, and the age of the bold is not moved.

The black raincoat had very little guts, especially when Zhang Xiaoman took out a knife from his pocket, revealing the cold and shining tip of the blade, he involuntarily raised his hands and stammered and explained, "Don't get me wrong.... I'm not a thief...."

Zhang Xiaoman stared at the immature and delicate facial features of the black raincoat, estimated the age of the black raincoat to be around 18 years old, and frowned, "Who are you?" ”

The black raincoat took off the hat of the raincoat, the jet-black hair poured down, and a student ID card was found from the inner pocket of the clothes, "Professor Zhang...... Hello..... I am a student of the class of 2020 at Tokugawa University....."

Zhang Xiaoman slowly put down the hand holding the knife, put the knife back into his pocket, and asked coldly, "What's your name, what are you doing in my dormitory at night?" ”

"You won't know who I am, I'm one of the 3,700 ordinary freshmen in the 2020 class of Tokugawa University, you can call me Tingting...."The girl in the black raincoat pursed her lips and said with an embarrassed face, "I'm here for my boyfriend...."

"Your boyfriend?"

"My boyfriend is from the math department and has always regarded you as an idol..... You are the god of his heart..... He is usually obsessed with solving all kinds of puzzles, especially your column on "Propositions", those matrix ciphers, Riemann hypothetical ciphers.... He's a treasure, and he's recently become obsessed with your 'anagrams', and has locked himself in his house for three days in order to guess the latest puzzle.... So, I want to come to you to find the answer, and then go back and guide him to solve it..."

"That's a little weird..... That's all gadgets, you should let him focus more on his studies...."Zhang Xiaoman walked to the dining table and took two cups, "I haven't been back for a long time, I only have instant coffee at home, do you want to drink a cup?" ”

Tingting sighed into her palms, rubbed her hands, and nodded with a smile, "It couldn't be better, thank you.... To be honest, it's really cold at night, you don't have heating, my hands are frozen..."

"It's so cold and you ran out to help your boyfriend find the answer, you can see that you love your boyfriend very much...."Zhang Xiaoman brewed two cups of coffee, handed one of them to Tingting, held one of them himself, and took a sip, "Actually, I haven't had a puzzle on "Proposition" for a long time, it's all my apprentice who is fooling around, so you can't find the answer here with me...."

Tingting immediately lowered her head and said with a disappointed face, "No wonder I haven't seen any information about the puzzle after looking for a long time..." ”

"I don't know....." Zhang Xiaoman blew the hot air on the cup, "But since it's my apprentice's problem, if I can't solve it, wouldn't it be laughed out of my big teeth......

"And do you also crack anagrams?"

"Pediatrics...."Zhang Xiaoman put the coffee in his hand on the coffee table, pointed to the sofa, "Please sit...."Turned around and walked to the TV cabinet opposite the sofa, took out a small whiteboard, and hung it on the wall next to the desk, "I'll give you an example first, you know how simple this kind of thing is....."

Picking up a black marker, Zhang Xiaoman quickly wrote two short sentences on the whiteboard, "The top and bottom are parallel lines, and there is a diamond-shaped middle station." ”

Tingting tilted her head and looked at it for a long time, then drew in the palm of her hand, and shook her head, "I can't guess, is there such a word?" ”

"This is a little game that one of my apprentices played when he was 8 years old, it's very simple...."Zhang Xiaoman wrote a word on the whiteboard, "It's mutual, you can see if it's very in line with the meaning of the question stem, this is the meaning of the question to solve the wording, as well as the question stem split lettering, up and down spelling, the elimination method, the displacement and reorganization method....."

Tingting looked at the word "mutual" on the whiteboard, her eyes lit up, "It's really ....."

"Another example...."Zhang Xiaoman wrote two short sentences on the whiteboard again, "Guess again this time, it's similar to the method just now." ”

Tingting looked at the words on the whiteboard seriously, "Accompanied by people and dogs, only lying down and not standing..... According to what you said, these two sentences are also based on the meaning of the topic.... I know! It's 'volt', a single side, a dog, isn't it accompanied by people and dogs, volt is the meaning of lying on the stomach, and it also responds to the latter sentence 'only lying down and not standing', am I guessing right? ”

Zhang Xiaoman nodded appreciatively, "It's not particularly stupid, this is one of the basic moves to crack the anagram, and then combine it with some other rules to form a complete information, and you can get the final answer to the anagram, which is all old-fashioned routine." ”

Tingting's eyes were full of stars, "It's really interesting.... No wonder my boyfriend is in the middle of it, and even I can't wait to try my hand at this crossword puzzle...."

"It's good to have nothing to do to relieve your boredom, don't waste too much time on this....." Zhang Xiaoman glanced at the hour and minute hands of the clock on the wall, took out a medicine bottle from his pocket, poured out two pills, and threw them into his mouth, trying to swallow them directly, but he didn't succeed.

Tingting saw Zhang Xiaoman's face flushed, and hurriedly picked up the coffee on the coffee table and walked in front of Zhang Xiaoman, "Drink some water..."

Zhang Xiaoman poured a big sip of coffee, finally went down the pills, breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Tingting gratefully, "Thank you...."

"You're welcome," Tingting waved her hand, glanced at the time of the clock on the wall, and sighed, "I should go back, thank you for your guidance, although I don't know if I can solve it on my own, but it's finally not clueless...."

"Wait.... You just said that your boyfriend has been haunted by anagrams for three days, which shows that the topic is not simple this time, and it is estimated that it will be difficult for you to solve it for a while...."Zhang Xiaoman suddenly stopped Tingting, "You finally came here..... Good people do it to the end, or let me help you untie it...."

Tingting was stunned for a moment, and then a sunny smile bloomed on her face, and she said excitedly, "Is it really possible?" Won't it be too much trouble for you? ”

"It's not a hassle, you can do it in three or two," Zhang Xiaoman sat on the sofa with his coffee, and pointed to the whiteboard, "You write the title on it, and I'll teach you how to solve it." ”

Tingting walked to the small whiteboard with an excited face, picked up a black marker, took out her mobile phone, compared it with a photo in the mobile phone, and began to write on the whiteboard, and soon there was little blank left on the whiteboard. Stopping the last stroke, Tingting let out a long breath of turbidity, took a shallow sip of her coffee, and said with a smile, "Professor Zhang, this is the latest issue of the anagram...."

Zhang Xiaoman touched his chin, glanced at the content on the whiteboard, pondered for a moment, and said, "This question is very simple, and the most used is the word splitting.... Let's start with the first phrase, beheaded, and detached. The head of the word "kill" is "than", and after it is cut off, the word "death" remains. Separated from it, what is the word 'from'? ”

"People!"

"That's right, it's 'man', so the riddle of this first phrase is 'dead man'.... The second sentence 'the former residence in the east, the collapse of the king of the ball, the catastrophe of annihilation', is also two words. The king of the ball collapsed, and the word ball has no king, which is the request of the request. The former residence is east, left west and right east, so the right half of the word is next to the reverse text, and the combination of the previous request is the life-saving word. The disaster of annihilation, the word 'extinguished' is missing the top, it is a 'fire' word, so the riddle of this second phrase is 'firefighting'. ”

The corners of Tingting's mouth rose slightly, "I know how to crack it....", quickly circled the third short sentence, "Interrupt the thought, read the word and remove the above today, and there will be a 'heart' left." The fragrance is gone, there is no door to smell the fragrance, the word Xin removes the incense below, and the word smells the door outside, which is combined with the traditional Chinese character 'sound'..... Together, the riddle of the third sentence is 'the voice of the heart'! ”

Immediately afterwards, Tingting unraveled the remaining short sentences one after another, and got 7 words, namely "Killing", "Xiao Zhang", "Don't lose", "Full", "All Pan", "Yiyi", and "False Opinion".

Some words are common, and some are stilted. After getting these words, Tingting did not stop, and continued to write and draw on the whiteboard by herself, "The time when this issue of anagram was published is January 4th, so I guess the next rule is to break these words into single words one by one, and then form a four-word idiom." ”

Zhang Xiaoman's eyes widened as Tingting wrote a row of four-character words on the whiteboard, the cup in her hand fell to the ground, and she couldn't say a word.

"Murder and arson, don't save when you die, bluff, be cautious, lose all the plates...."Tingting looked at Zhang Xiaoman triumphantly and sneered, "It's indeed pediatrics, of course, this is not the final mystery, the issue number of this issue of "Proposition" is 12211, each number corresponds to a word in the idiom in turn, the first word of murder and arson is 'kill', and the second word of death is 'death'..... All of them are connected to 'kill Zhang Xiaoman'! ”

brushed the hair in her ears, glanced at Zhang Xiaoman, who was wide-eyed and angry, Tingting covered her mouth and giggled, "Do you feel like you want to speak but can't speak, you have difficulty breathing, and you are paralyzed?" I just added a little bit of something to your coffee, barrel curareine. Oh, by the way, let me tell you one thing, my major is clinical medicine, why didn't you ask me which department I am from, it's too careless...."

Zhang Xiaoman snorted and panted hard, as if he was about to suffocate, and pressed his neck with both hands.... A few seconds later, Zhang Xiaoman suddenly took a deep breath, stood up, smashed his mouth, and stared at Tingting with a playful expression, "I didn't ask because there was no need to ask, what was the use of getting all lies...... It's like you don't have a boyfriend who is in the math department, right? Did I just pretend to be like that? If the full score is 10, my acting skills should be able to score 9, right? ”

Tingting was shocked, "How is it possible, I obviously ..... in your cup" Suddenly, Tingting felt that the nerves in her whole body were out of action, and she sat on the chair next to the desk, looking at Zhang Xiaoman with a frightened face, unable to say a word.

"I changed the cup while you weren't paying attention," Zhang Xiaoman said lightly, "Actually, I reminded you a long time ago.... There are back and forth to be called 'mutual', and the word is a foreshadowing, an ambush, or an ambush.... If you don't listen to the old man, you will suffer in front of you! ”
