"You don't seem to have mentioned... Victim information that appears during tryouts. Gai asked the wind who was operating the coffee machine to be buried.

"Information about the victim and detailed information about the case...", Li Xiaonan's voice answered Gai's question, he took out his mobile phone from his pocket and clicked "send".

"Ding..."

Except for Li Xiaonan, everyone else present received an email.

"This is the file I put together through my memories and internal records of the police department." Li Xiaonan said: "As for what happened at that time, let me tell the part I know first, and then let the wind wait for the burial to supplement the content of the second half." ”

Everyone neatly flipped through the email messages on their phones, and expressed their agreement with silence.

“...”

Let's go back to the tryouts 5 years ago.

On April 6, 2018, the weather was fine, and the Dia Municipal Police Academy, located in the university town near the northern suburbs of Dia City.

The campus is always bustling with people as graduation approaches, and all corners of the college are filled with clear eyes shouting "Defend justice, fight crime", and in the peaceful scene, there is a figure who walks in a hurry and looks particularly out of place.

He wore a new dark green jacket with unmarked black half-sleeved bottoms, a pair of old white sneakers with a well-worn trademark, and a pair of light-blue jeans that had been washed white.

Like an ordinary college student, Li Xiaonan, whose face was a little immature, was hurrying through the warm atmosphere of the campus with a large black backpack on his back and walking towards the outside of the school gate.

When he met a familiar figure on the road, he just nodded and didn't say too much, but through his somewhat fiery eyes, it was not difficult to see that he was a little excited and even excited at this time.

Outside the campus, Li Xiaonan stretched out his hand and hailed a taxi: "Downtown Gymnasium." ”

“...”

At 10:00 a.m., after Li Xiaonan walked through a long stone road, he stood at the entrance of the open-air venue of the Municipal Gymnasium.

He looked at the crowd of people passing by him, and muttered: "Are there so many 'detectives' in Dia City, why don't you look good." ”

Li Xiao said with a hard time, holding his mobile phone and striding into the open field in front of him, ready to find the "registration office" designated on the text message from the crowd in front of him.

In fact, it does not cover a particularly large open space, but it is particularly "vast" surrounded by the crowd.

According to Li Xiaonan's experience in college, this kind of "booth" similar to the "admissions office" should be located on the side of this rectangular open-air field, so after a brief look at the direction, he prepared to walk around the gymnasium along the side of the wall to find the "registration office".

Obviously, many people have the same intention as him, and when he shuttles through the crowded crowd, there are many figures who come from the opposite direction and pass by him.

Li Xiaonan noticed again, their faces were heavy.

"Ding..."

The sound of receiving a text message.

Li Xiaonan lowered his head and checked his mobile phone: "Dear detective, there are still 30 minutes before the registration ends, please arrive at the designated registration office as soon as possible to register, if it exceeds the time, you will be disqualified from participating in the selection competition." ”

Li Xiaonan stopped, frowned and looked at the strange figures around him, he was surprised to find that only a few people had looked down at their mobile phones like himself.

"Aren't the timers synchronized?" Li Xiaonan seemed to sense something, and immediately turned around and walked towards the entrance where he came, he gave up his previous plan to look for the "registration office" in the venue, and carefully recalled the details of the period from the police academy to the time he stepped into the venue.

A few minutes later, Li Xiaonan stood at the entrance of the venue again, and this time he could read the solemn faces of the crowd around him, because he didn't know when he also joined in.

"Did you start the timer as soon as you entered the venue?" Li Xiao thought to himself: "It turns out that the topic has already started from this moment. ”

His memories were locked on the long stone road he had stepped on after getting off the bus, which led to the "entrance" to the tryouts, but not to the "answer".

"The road is lined with green willow trees, planted at large and small intervals, white catkins fluttering in the wind, and the road under your feet is paved with ordinary stone slabs in a retro color scheme of red and green, and everything looks like nothing special." Li Xiaonan looked at the road with bent eyes, and suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he quickly ran towards the end of the road.

At the same time, the mobile phone he had been holding in his hand received another message: "There are still 20 minutes left until the registration ends." ”

“...”

Li Xiaonan stood at the place where he got off the bus ten minutes ago, carefully looked at the willow trees on both sides of the stone road, and he observed that the planting interval of the willow trees seemed to be long and short, but in fact, the long and short intervals were the same, like a kind of password.

Holding his mobile phone tightly in his hand, he walked briskly along the corridor to the entrance of the open field again, muttering a little frantically: "C... A... E... S... A... R...”

"And then on the other side is... C... I... P....”

"Caesar encryption!"

Li Xiaonan stopped while getting the answer, the demon was looking for something around him in a daze, and finally his eyes fell on the red and green stone slab at his feet, at this moment, he suddenly felt that the people who organized the trial were a little unfriendly to red and green color blindness.

Li Xiaonan returned to the position where he got out of the car for the third time, he was almost lying on the ground, slightly bent his eyes along the stone road to the other end, the "detectives" who came and went kept interfering with his vision, and even the people who had just arrived were secretly discussing, until his mobile phone rang the text message prompt again, Li Xiaonan finally got the prompt he wanted: "AZQ." ”

"There are 10 minutes left until the registration closes, so please go to the registration office immediately."

This time, an unclear sentence was added to the message.

Li Xiaonan hurriedly stood up, hurriedly opened the mobile phone map, and typed "ba" in the search bar

”。

The search shows that there are three bars around the Dia City Stadium, the nearest is within 300 meters of Li Xiaonan's location, the farthest is 1,200 meters away, and there is a straight-line distance that is not far, only less than 500 meters, but it needs to go around the stadium to the other side of the open field, and its name is "Answer".

"That's it!"

Li Xiaonan looked around, didn't find a bicycle to "borrow" to use, resigned to his fate, stepped on the pair of white shoes of a well-known brand that looked very old, but very neat, and followed the mobile phone navigation and ran away.

“...”

10:25 a.m., inside the "Answers" bar.

"Is there only this 'registry office', in the city of Dia." A man in a black suit and a pair of decorative glasses without lenses scribbled a form at the bar, ignoring the few people already seated at this time, and instead asked the man in sunglasses sitting at the bar.

"Of course not, the 'invitations' you receive are also randomly distributed." The man in sunglasses replied casually.

"Huo~ We're lucky, Xiaokui." The pale-skinned Feng Beifu smiled and pressed his hand on the fisherman's hat hiding behind him: "It's worthy of a brother's bond." ”

Then he left the back for a pause, and then turned to the man in sunglasses and asked, "Is coffee served here..."

Before the words fell, the door of the bar was suddenly slammed open, and Li Xiaonan's figure suddenly appeared as if teleporting in front of Feng Beifu's eyes, and neatly signed the "Sword of the Last Light" under the "Petrarch Twins" on the registration form.

Under the curious gaze of Feng Beifu, Li Xiaonan pressed the screen of his mobile phone a little nervously, and the time was displayed at 10:28.

"Whew~" followed by Li Xiao's breathing of relief, his originally neat short black hair looked very messy at this time after experiencing a wild run.

"Uh... Want to have a cup of coffee together? Feng Beifu showed a shallow smile and invited Li Xiaonan.

“...”

11:00 a.m. sharp, "Answers" bar.

With the end of the "appetizing" puzzle at 10:30, Li Xiaonan's mobile phone received a text message again, and after being notified of the "congratulations on successful registration", he accepted the invitation to be buried, followed him with Bai Zhu Kui, and found a quieter corner to sit down.

"So you're here by car?" After Li Xiaonan swallowed a sip of iced coffee, he asked Xiang Feng to be buried.

Feng Beifu tilted his head and replied, "Do you want to run over like you?" ”

Li Xiaonan stroked his wind-blown hair again and avoided the topic: "So you have to wait until everyone's separate timekeeping is over?" ”

"Probably not." Feng Beifu looked at the woman who pushed open the door of the bar at this time, and replied casually, "After all, the tryouts shouldn't like people who are late." ”

As soon as the words fell, the man in sunglasses stood up from behind the bar under the gaze of countless eyes, ignored the woman who wanted to register, picked up the registration form, and put it in his arms, walked to the door of the bar under the woman's almost begging gaze, and turned the "Close" wooden sign hanging on it into "Ope."

After that, he kicked the woman out of the bar.

"Congratulations to the detectives for passing this little puzzle." The man in sunglasses then turned around and said: "This selection competition will officially start in 2 hours, during which the information you are about to intervene in the case will be sent to the contact information you have reserved in the form of an encrypted website, please pay attention to check." ”

"The login password is the name you just signed on that registration form. By the way, the audition will not tell you the case information in detail in the form of a file, and the detectives can search for keywords on the encrypted website to get the information they want to know at each stage. ”

"Of course, it is also possible to obtain all the information at the beginning and summarize it, but I personally do not recommend it, because the case may be 'a little bit' different from your guess."

With that, the man in sunglasses pushed the door and left the "Answer" bar.

Throughout, no one knew who he really was, including the pre-selected detectives in the bar.

"He doesn't look like a police guy." Wind to be buried whispered.

"Indeed, the calluses in his palms are almost smoothed." Li Xiaonan also responded softly.

Feng Beifu was a little surprised, "Oh? Then he walked out of the bar with the white candle Aoi who had never spoken: "On the premise of not affecting the tryouts, maybe we can have a chance to cooperate, 'Sword of the Last Light'." ”

Li Xiaonan looked at the back of the person who waved his hand to him but did not look back, did not respond, but thought to himself: "Petrarch Twins." ”

"The All-Knowing and Almighty Book..."Petrarch."
