"A little blood, how big is it? What's the shape?" Bai Chunian asked suddenly.
Rimbaud hesitated, paused before answering: "One drop."
Bai Chunian said "I see", but he was already sure in his heart that the person he was talking to was not Rimbaud.
Rimbaud's observation ability is obvious to all, and it is comparable to that of a mole. Of course, deep-sea fish have poor eyesight, which is also understandable.
And when Bai Chunian asked "what's in the fitness room", Lan Bo blurted out that there was blood on the ground. If it was a large blood spot, it would be easy to attract attention, but he said there was only "one drop".
It was not something Rimbaud could have discovered without being reminded.
In fact, long before Bai Chunian left the fitness room, he put two dumbbells behind the door that must pass through when entering the fitness room. The dumbbells are hexagonal, and they are not easy to roll on the ground. The door of the room requires a certain amount of strength, which means that it takes a little time to open the door.
But Rimbaud didn't show that he was hindered at all. Bai Chunian was sure that the fake Rimbaud he was talking to was not on the same level as him.
Bai Chunian guessed that the fake Rimbaud was talking nonsense.
Or, someone reminded him.
Because there was indeed a bloodstain on the floor of the gym that Bai Chunian passed by, and the blood was rubbed over. He deliberately concealed this information from Rimbaud to verify the location of Rimbaud who was talking to him.
As for the details of the blood being wiped, Bai Chunian suspected that it was a fake and he told the fake Rimbaud. As for how they contacted him, he didn't know. It might also be through the camera, but it didn't matter. Bai Chunian thought that Zhen Lan There is a high probability that Bo is on the same floor as himself, and is following him in the room behind him.
In the process of finding the dormitory password, Bai Chunian spent some time, but he found a small purple flashlight, tried to light it in every corner of the room to check, and finally found traces of pressing on the password device.
He pressed the pressed numbers in order, "14579", and the dormitory door lock opened.
Bai Chunian gently pushed the door open a gap, and looked inside. He clenched the knife tightly in his hand, clamped the short razor blade between his fingers, then quickly opened the door, and glanced behind the door.
There was no one behind the door, so Bai Chunian turned his head to observe other corners of the room. After all, there was at least one reflection in the house that wanted to kill him.
After Bai Chunian walked to the center, the door when he came was closed. He was used to this mechanism, so he checked other details calmly.
This is a dining bar.
Light yellow wallpaper, a range hood and an induction cooker are installed behind the clean bar, and a wine rack is on the right.
There is a bottle of wine on the bar.
It looked the same as the restaurant Rimbaud had originally described, and it was the same room he had seen in the surveillance footage.
Bai Chunian picked up the wine and looked at it. The wine bottle was almost opaque dark glass with a cork on the mouth. The wine inside seemed undrunk, but the cork seemed to be pulled out and then put back in.
Because the wine production factory uses a machine to cork the cork, it is easy to put the cork into the mouth of the bottle, but the cork will expand after soaking in the wine, and the volume will become larger. If you want to take it out and put it back, there will always be some marks .
Bai Chunian carefully looked at the label on the bottle, it seemed to be in Spanish. Because of the need to communicate with colleagues from other branches of the IOA, Bai Chunian had a sudden study of Spanish for a while. There was no problem with daily communication, but reading was a little difficult and he was not very proficient.
He took the wine bottle and strolled to the wine rack to look at it. It was a simple wooden wine rack, and the wooden boards were inserted obliquely to form a square grid.
Bai Chunian squatted down, observed one by one, and carefully removed the wine rack, leaving a faint pink trace on the wallpaper.
"..." Bai Chunian held up the wine again, and observed the wine in the bottle against the light.
It's a pity that he didn't have any tools in his hand, and he couldn't open the cork with his hands or mouth alone.
Forget it, let's find the password to open the door first. Bai Chunian simply tore off the label on the wine and put it in his pocket.
At this moment, Rimbaud in the communicator suddenly muttered "failure."
Bai Chunian immediately caught his abnormality sensitively, and followed the situation: "Did you see anything?"
Rimbaud has already entered the dormitory with bunk beds with iron railings from the gym.
He ran to the cipher first, and there was a note stuck on the cipher with a Band-Aid. Rimbaud didn't even think about it, he tore off the note and hid it in his hand. After seeing no one around, he opened it and took a look. .
After reading the note, Rimbaud carefully folded the note, put it together with the three notes from behind the round mirror in the bathroom, the calendar in the infirmary, and the barbell, and stuffed it into the bandage on his body Here, pat.
Xiao Bai hasn't written him a love letter for a long time, and Rimbaud is far more interested in notes than in these broken rooms.
But Xiaobai still had to listen to what Xiaobai said. Rimbaud searched immediately, climbed up and down between several railing beds, and finally found a stack of A4 paper documents under a pillow on the top bunk.
Rimbaud took off the carbon pen clipped on it and threw it away, and browsed through the papers. The text on the information was densely packed in English. Rimbaud felt dizzy, so he climbed down the bed ladder with his mouth in his mouth.
A page fell out of the document, fluttered twice, and landed just under the foot of the bed.
Lan Bo had no choice but to hold the document in his mouth, lay down on the ground and stretched out his hand to reach it. He grabbed the corner of the page, pulled it hard, and with a click, the paper was torn by him, only half a page was enough to come out.
Rimbaud glanced at it. Fortunately, he still recognized one of the words marked in red, which said "fail (failure)."
He read it out in a murmur, and suddenly heard Bai Chunian asking him from the communicator, "Did you see anything?" Enter the password on the note he left.
While waiting for the door to open, Rimbaud scanned the surroundings boredly, and found a few bloodstains on the ground, all of which had been rubbed.
Bai Chunian was still asking: "Did you see anything? Is there anything in the room?"
Rimbaud said impatiently, "There are a few bloody footprints."
"Footprints? In what direction?"
Rimbaud stared at the ground for a long time: "From me, to another door."
"Where are you?"
"Next to the combination lock."
"Oh...you already found the code?"
"Um."
Bai Chunian laughed: "I also have a very interesting thing here. I'm in the wine restaurant now. The password here is 89456, which is the same as what you told me to press randomly."
Rimbaud frowned: "I didn't lie to you. Although you are not Xiaobai, you are a cat, and I will not lie to the cat."
... It seems that the fake Rimbaud is just as cute, after all, the real one is cute.
"We can discuss it. How about I find my wife and take him home, and then you go back to the Caribbean to replace the siren?"
"Sirens can't replace them. They have to lead the people to migrate, clean up the garbage and leaked oil in the sea, and nuclear. The work of the Sirens is very important, and it is different from your civil servants." Rimbaud argued with him seriously.
"Okay, okay, I won't argue with you. What's the password for your dormitory."
Rimbaud took out the note that Xiaobai had left for him, looked at it again, and said truthfully, "36597."
"Okay, let's go."
When Bai Chunian opened the door and entered the next room, Lan Bo heard him say "Hey", and the door in front of him also opened.
Rimbaud pushed open the door. The first thing he did was to go to the combination lock to see if there was a note left by Xiao Bai, but the situation in the room could not be ignored by him.
There was an unpleasant smell in the room, it was a restaurant, but not sure if it was the one he had passed first. The wallpaper is warm pink, except that the bar counter and range hood are still in place, and the PVC board countertop of the bar counter has been knocked down.
The wine rack was completely overturned and cracked, there was a broken wine bottle on the floor, black glass was blown everywhere.
As usual, a note was pasted on the cipher device. Rimbaud took off the note, glanced at it, and was stunned.
Lan Bo described what he saw, and Bai Chunian kept in touch with him.
"What kind of smell is it?" Bai Chunian asked.
"Probably, nutty, bitter."
Bai Chunian fell silent, as if he was thinking. After a long while, he slowly said: "I see. This time it was the research institute's tricks again. They didn't kill us, they wanted us to wipe their asses."
"What's the meaning?"
"I'll tell you in detail later, and you do what I tell you first."
After Bai Chunian pushed the door out of the restaurant, he returned to the bathroom where he was originally. A toilet is installed in the bathroom, and one side of the wet and dry separated bathroom is a red tile wall. Similarly, the red laser in the corner of the ceiling is still on.
He also expected that the mirror could become a surveillance image to allow him to choose a call partner again, but this time the mirror did not respond.
Bai Chunian went to take the round mirror to reflect the laser code, and suddenly remembered something.
The first time he deliberately asked Rimbaud to test the password, he asked Rimbaud to enter the password 74692 he saw when he passed the bathroom, but Rimbaud said "wrong" and argued with him that the password was obviously 96472.
Bai Chunian rested his chin and thought about it, and tried to enter "96472" from the cipher.
With a ding-dong sound, the green light turned on, which turned out to be correct.
Before Bai Chunian had time to think about it, he suddenly noticed something strange. He leaned close to the keypad of the cipher device. There was a recess above the key to prevent peeping while entering the code. Bai Chunian put his face under the trough. , Reach in and pick.
At the top corner of the button, Bai Chunian picked a piece of sticker.
He continued digging for a while, picked up a corner of the sticker, and after he could pinch it with two fingers, he tore it off with a little skill. Slowly, it really made him tear off a layer.
The layer torn off is just an ordinary button number sticker, just like a keyboard cover, which is used to prevent dust. It can be peeled off and re-applied when it is old and dirty. The drawer of the company's logistics department with the cipher is often used. Have a stack ready.
But Bai Chunian glanced at the cipher device unintentionally, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
The keys of the cipher whose key stickers were removed are very strange. The characters are all reversed left and right. The three characters in the first line are reversed 3, 2, 1, and the second line is reversed 6, 5, 4. The third line is 9, 8, 7 in reverse.
Bai Chunian compared the positions on the stickers. If he pressed them in the normal order on the stickers, if he pressed "96472", what he actually pressed was the corresponding "74692" on the cipher.
Bai Chunian immediately understood the mystery. He pasted the stickers back as they were, and groped in his pocket. He took out the half-sheet of A4 paper he had picked up in the dormitory before, tore off a small strip, and painted it on it with a carbon pen. Write: "Password: 96472."
Worried that Rimbaud wouldn't understand, he thought about it, wrote a line of pinyin at the bottom in mermaid language, and drew a stick figure of a cat's paw. After finishing writing, he found the Band-Aid he took in the infirmary from his pocket, cut off a piece with a razor blade, and pasted the note on the retractable round mirror. As long as the real Rimbaud passes through this room, he should be able to find himself reminder.
Biting the cap of his pen, he deduced the passwords of the last two rooms, and wrote them down on the notes. If he passed the test, he would leave the notes for Rimbaud.
After writing the two notes, Bai Chunian added another sentence: "Ran Bo, I have fully understood what's going on, and the next step is to verify my conjecture. Lan Bo, be careful. Dear Bo. "
"By the way, when you get to the gym, tell the guy who communicated with you that you saw a little blood that was rubbed on the ground."
In this way, he can make the fake self think that the real Lanbo is following behind him. If he wants to kill Rimbaud, he may kill the fake Rimbaud, or bump into Bai Chunian himself. Po was injured.
