The Novelist Forced to Become Famous

Chapter 44: A gang of three

Views:

There were many tourists feeding the koi pond, mostly children, who threw handfuls of fish food into the pond, attracting numerous brightly colored koi to scramble for the food.

Among this group of people, there were two who were particularly discordant.

Two middle-aged uncles, one strong and one short, were smoking beside a trash can.

Needless to say, the short one is Qian Tong, one of the robbers. The man next to him is big and strong, with a faint silver metallic luster on his waist. He must be the policeman guarding him.

When Jian Jing saw it for the first time, she was shocked—aren’t you afraid that the prisoner will run away

Then he saw a bulge around Qian Tong's ankle, and then he remembered that the parallel world used electronic shackles with built-in electric shock devices. If the prisoner wanted to escape, he would be given a weak current package in minutes.

"Okay, time to go." The Chinese policeman put out his cigarette and said coldly.

"Hey, hey." Qian Tong said timidly, and put out his cigarette. "Um, do you have any paper?"

The Chinese policeman handed him a napkin.

Qian Tong took it, coughed a few times, folded the paper in half, wrapped the cigarette butt, and threw it on the top plate of the trash can. The policeman didn't pay attention, just pulled his arm and left.

While Jian Jing was completing the stamping at the Koi Pond check-in point, she was taking in the scene that had just happened.

She frowned slightly, but had no idea. Although it was rare to see people put out cigarette butts and wrap them with tissues, it was not a good idea to say it was a personal habit.

"Do you want me to give you some hints?" Cheng Jiayou saw her frowning and asked, "This is the most difficult one. It may be a little hard to guess."

Only then did Jian Jing notice the piece of paper with the question written on it.

A string of meanings in English: brizmgrmt

Numbers need to be converted into letters, and there are many types, but there are not many encryption methods that are purely letters. She quickly analyzed it in her mind. The 9 letters did not look like the commonly used fence method, and it was not smooth when reversed.

Most importantly, without the key, there is no need to bother with the codebook.

The key to decoding must be a common set of letter combinations.

Look at the alphabet in reverse order.

brizmgrmt→yiranting.

Yiran Pavilion.

The answer had been found, but Jian Jing hesitated for a moment before she could say it: Zuo Xin said she wanted to give him the chance, and maybe the boy had waited all the way for the chance to help her "cheat", so it would be more appropriate for her to pretend to be stupid and wait for his help.

However, this thought only flashed through her mind for a moment before disappearing.

Carefully deciphering the code is a sign of respect for the author.

It's too fake that you can't even solve such a simple question.

"This question is quite difficult, but I have seen a similar one before, it was in Yiran Pavilion," she said.

Cheng Jiayou was stunned for a moment, then said bitterly: "Yes, you are really amazing."

Jian Jing comforted him: "I have studied some encryption methods in order to write novels. Your question is fine. If it is too complicated and no one can solve it, then it is not suitable."

The ultimate goal of an event is to let participants have fun. If the questions are too difficult, it is just a show of skill, not a game. She said sincerely: "The questions are all very good, you must have put a lot of effort into it."

"I feel relieved when you say that." Cheng Jiayou relaxed his brows, "Let's go to the next stop."

Just as the two were about to leave, they saw Zuo Xin and others coming towards them.

"Jian Jing, why are you walking so fast?" Zuo Xin was surprised. "I didn't run into you, so I thought you weren't here yet."

Cheng Jiayou explained: "There are several roads, and the park map is not drawn in a standard way. Some roads look short and are more circuitous to walk."

"Oh oh oh~~" the girl said in a thoughtful voice, "No wonder someone helped you."

Jian Jing paused for a moment, but didn't respond. She just said, "I told you to wait for me, but you didn't."

Zuo Xin waved her hand: "I don't want to cause dislike."

A group of students were making a lot of noise and it was very lively. A cleaner in an orange vest came over slowly with a broom, swept the plastic bags and paper towels near the koi pond into a dustpan, and dumped them into the trash can.

Afterwards, he began to pick out the cigarette butts on the top, discarding the butts and picking up the ones with a little bit left.

For example, the one Qian Tong had smoked.

A flash of inspiration came to me.

Jian Jing turned around and rushed over, blurting out: "Please wait a moment."

The cleaner looked up, revealing an old, dark face with clearly visible wrinkles: "Classmate?"

Jian Jing remained calm and said in a low voice, "Old man, these have been smoked by others, so they are dirty." After she said that, she took out two candies from her pocket and said, "Eat these."

The cleaner was stunned for a moment, and it took him a while to understand what she meant. He took it, thanked her, and continued to pick up the garbage.

Jian Jing turned and walked away, keeping a glance at the other person.

He poured the cigarette butts and other garbage into the dustpan and went to continue cleaning somewhere else.

This scene was very common, but she couldn't take it lightly.

Just now, the system issued another task.

[System: New task has been released]

[Mission Name: Find the Gold Robber]

[Task Description: Three days ago, a group of people robbed the bank vault. They were still dreaming of taking the gold and running away. Please help the police to capture the criminals and find the gold.]

[Task rewards and penalties: Success reward 20 courage points, failure 1 penalty]

After completing several tasks, Jian Jing has figured out some of the rules of the system.

The system is indeed an intelligent system. When drawing cards, it adjusts the probability according to the environment and requirements. Therefore, in the later stages, she will draw when she needs to, and it is easier to get the cards she wants.

At the same time, because the system has no autonomous consciousness, the program is too rigid. For example, the calligraphy skill card on her autograph session is both smart and stupid.

But one thing is certain, the mission will only be triggered when she is connected with the mission.

Before, she had agreed to help Ji Feng, but there was no mission. But now as soon as she talked to the old man, the mission came. There was something wrong no matter how she looked at it.

Jian Jing asked Ji Feng: [Are there only two people in the gang?]

Monsoon: [What?]

Jian Jing flipped through the records and asked: [One is responsible for the security system, and the other is for unlocking. Isn't there anyone to assist? I don't believe it]

Ji Feng: [Those caught can be reported appropriately, but the specific case cannot be disclosed to the relevant personnel. However, if you guess it yourself, it has nothing to do with me.]

Jian Jing: [a kind of plant]

Monsoon: [What did you find?]

Jian Jing: [micro.jpg]

She unilaterally cut off the communication, thought about it, and asked, "Is there a toilet here?"

"There's one in front." Cheng Jiayou pointed to a bungalow farther away.

"Oh no, I need to go to the bathroom." She ran away without hesitation.

But the cleaner who was there just now has disappeared.

Jian Jing didn't dare to look for it in a big way, for fear of alarming him, so she had to ask Ji Feng to call: "Have you checked all the cleaners?"

Ji Feng said: "Of course, I am sure there is no Li Li."

"It's like this. I just discovered something." She told him about Qian Tong's little trick and the cleaner's abnormality. "That person's employee number is 1043."

Ji Feng: "Wait, I'll call you back in three minutes."

2 minutes and 45 seconds later, a call came back.

"You have a very good eye. That man is called Zhou Bing. He committed a crime when he was young. He was in prison five years ago and is now a sanitation worker. Three years ago, he quit his original job and started working as a cleaner in the park." Ji Feng spoke faster and more excitedly. "Here comes the interesting part. The street he was in charge of as a sanitation worker is where the bank is. Although Li Li and his men were caught at first, there was a section of their journey that was left blank."

Jian Jing asked: "The way to get here from the bank?"

"Yes, we found him two streets away." Ji Feng said, "You may be right. Zhou Bing may be the hidden third person."

"Cigarette butts are his way of communicating?"

"I'm not sure. Qian Tong has behaved quite honestly. If we rashly accuse him without evidence, it is very likely that he will be disgusted and refuse to cooperate." Ji Feng pondered, "We should continue to observe him."

Jian Jing immediately made a request: "I want the cleaner's work area. Also, is Li Li at Zhou Bing's house?"

"We have sent someone to check it out, but I think it will be in vain." Ji Feng analyzed, "Think about it, why has Zhou Bing been squatting in the park for three days? Is he trying to meet his accomplices? Does Li Li trust him?"

"This also proves that he doesn't know where the gold is." Jian Jing was puzzled. "So, Li Li is the only one who knows where the gold is?"

"Not necessarily." Ji Feng said, "I have to know what news Qian Tong has passed on first."

When he said that, Jian Jing suddenly remembered something and said hurriedly, "Oh, by the way, I just saw a trash can on the way from the campground to the koi pond. There was a cigarette butt wrapped in a tissue on it. I wonder if it was done by Qian Tong. You can check it out."

Even Ji Feng didn't expect that she would pay attention to a small cigarette butt. He was stunned for a while, and said sincerely: "Go to the police after graduation. It's a pity to waste your talent."

Jian Jing: “…” Actually, it’s thanks to the intermediate observation card.

"It was wrapped strangely so I took a second look at it. It's a coincidence." She lied calmly.

Ji Feng didn't care what her reason was. He said he would find someone to check it out right away and hung up the phone.

A moment later, Jian Jing received the cleaner's work schedule. 1043's work scope was from the Koi Pond to Yiran Pavilion.

What a coincidence, she certainly didn't miss the opportunity and sent it to Yiran Pavilion immediately.

Yiran Pavilion is located in the middle of the rockery and water source. It is a relatively high place in the park and can overlook most of the park.

Jian Jing had a mission to complete and really didn't want to waste time chatting with Cheng Jiayou, so she directly brought Zuo Xin and a few girls along.

With more people, both sides finally didn't have to rack their brains to think of topics. Jian Jing secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and although she chatted with everyone casually, most of her mind was on the case.

Arriving at Yiran Pavilion, she used the terrain to import the map of the park into her mind:

Outer Mountain

Shanshan real person cs grass horse farm grass

mountain mountain mountain mountain grass grass grass archery grass

Mountain Pavilion Mountain Forest Lake Lake Lake Stone Bridge Lake Lake

Linlinlin Koi Pond Lake Linlinlinlinkou

Linlinlinlinlinlinlinlinlinbbqlin

Linlin Camping Site Linlin Amusement Park

The layout of the entire park is roughly high in the north and low in the south, high in the west and low in the east, with a large irregularly shaped lake in the middle.

The entrance is on the east side, and the forest in the northwest is connected to the mountains outside. If the fugitive enters the forest on this side, it will be difficult for the police to set up a blockade, so they must do their best to prevent the criminals from escaping into the forest.

On the contrary, if the criminals want to escape from the police, they must find a way to get into the mountains.

Of course, before that, he had to find gold.

Where is the gold

Ding Dong, a new message popped up on WeChat.

Monsoon: [picture.jpg]

He sent me a photo of a cigarette butt, wrapped in the same tissue paper as before, with only a few puffs of the cigarette. There was a tooth mark on the filter, and five fingernail marks on the white paper wrapped around the tobacco.

There were two cuts on the edge of the paper towel, and the two torn paper strips were twisted into ropes.

What is this
