Chapter 360 Cracking the Blank Slate, Deciphering the Code!
"Candles?" Zhou Qishan didn't know why Su Niannian wanted candles.
But we had them here, so since Su Niannian wanted them, we brought her two candles.
One white and one red, two candles.
Su Niannian smiled and placed the red candle on the table.
"Matches." Gu Nan reached into his pocket and took out a box of matches.
Su Niannian smiled and took it, then lit the candle in front of her.
"Girl, what are you doing?" Chief Lu also came to Su Niannian's side at this time.
I was a little curious about what this little girl was going to do.
From the conversation just now, Chief Lu knew that there was nothing on these seven blank sheets of paper, and he had no idea what this little girl was up to.
"These few sheets of white paper must not be ordinary white paper, since Feng Zhenggang was so careful to hide them in the flowerpot."
"I just smelled a grassy scent from it, and I think it might be some kind of special invisible ink."
Just kidding. Su Niannian was reborn. Although she focused on studying medicine in her previous life, she still occasionally watched some TV dramas and short videos.
Su Niannian thought that if the short video was true, then maybe she could try roasting it with fire, or heating and cooling it down or something.
Right now, heating it with a candle is the simplest way.
Let's try them one by one, what if they work?
"Invisible ink?" Zhou Qishan's eyes lit up when he heard Su Niannian's words.
I have indeed heard of such a thing.
However, when Zhou Qishan saw that there were no writing marks on it, he never even considered that possibility.
Su Niannian squatted down next to the table and hung a piece of white paper above the lit candle.
Squatting makes it easier to observe the distance between the flame and the white paper.
We can't get too close, or the white paper will catch fire and we'll be doomed.
Therefore, it is easier for Su Niannian to observe the distance between the two when she is squatting down.
Everyone watched Su Niannian's actions with calm and focused attention.
"Appeared!"
"Fuck."
"magic!!"
"Oh my god!"
Everyone witnessed this change firsthand.
Then, words began to appear on the white paper in Su Niannian's hand that was being heated by the candle.
The white paper was slightly yellowed from the baking, but words did appear on it.
"Damn it! Why is it still the password?"
When they first saw the words, everyone couldn't help but feel joy.
As more and more words appeared on the screen, everyone became somewhat dumbfounded.
What appeared above was actually Morse code.
Then this...
The group exchanged glances, and each saw disappointment in the other's eyes.
Only Gu Nan took paper and pen from the side.
Standing next to Su Niannian, he copied the codes revealed by the candlelight onto a piece of paper one by one.
After all, it's uncertain whether the contents of this paper will disappear again later.
It's safer to make a copy.
Su Niannian turned her head and smiled at Gu Nan.
My dog of a man is indeed very smart and does things very reliably.
Gu Nan returned Su Niannian's smile.
Those standing nearby felt as if they had been fed another dose of dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection).
In this situation, the young couple can still be sweet to each other; it's truly unbelievable.
Gu Nan finished recording everything after Su Niannian had baked the entire sheet of paper.
Su Niannian repeated the process, heating the remaining six sheets of white paper with candlelight.
Gu Nan also copied them down one by one.
Until all operations are completed.
The words on the initial blank paper have indeed begun to disappear.
"Although we've cracked the secret of the blank paper, it's still coded," Tian Guangzhi said somewhat dejectedly.
"Let's try the conventional methods to crack it and see if we can." Zhou Qishan quickly joined forces with the cryptography expert beside him to attempt a breakthrough.
After half an hour.
"There's no way to analyze it," Zhou Qishan said dejectedly.
Although the secret on the blank paper was deciphered, the password still could not be cracked.
That would be equivalent to standing still.
"Are the picture albums and stamps on this table for the three of them?" Su Niannian asked Gu Nan, who was standing next to her, as she looked at the items on the table.
"Well, we're thinking of finding common ground among the three of them to see if that will allow us to crack the code."
"Picture albums, stamp collections, and account books?" Su Niannian murmured.
"Can I take a look at these too?" Su Niannian asked Chief Lu, who was standing next to her.
Chief Lu nodded, indicating that he could take a look.
Su Niannian then started flipping through the pages.
Once Su Niannian started looking at it, she spent another half an hour looking at it.
By this time, the sky outside was already beginning to lighten.
"How long can we detain Feng Zhenggang?" Zhou Qishan asked Tian Guangzhi, who was standing next to him.
"So what if they lock us up for a few more days? It's the same whether they lock us up for a day or a few days," Tian Guangzhi said nonchalantly.
However, Zhou Qishan felt very uncomfortable after hearing Tian Guangzhi's words.
Zhou Qishan sighed helplessly.
"Who are you trying to impress with that awful look? Instead of sighing here, why don't you go and crack the code?"
"Did you go crazy on that mission? You've lost all your fighting spirit?"
"Then don't ever say you know me again, I'll embarrass you!" Tian Guangzhi said to Zhou Qishan.
As soon as he finished speaking, he kicked Zhou Qishan in the butt.
Zhou Qishan frowned, "Aren't you done yet!"
"We haven't settled the score from last time you beat me up!" Zhou Qishan pretended to teach Tian Guangzhi a lesson.
Then, we heard Su Niannian speak from the other end.
"I think I know, come and take a look."
There was a hint of excitement and joy in Su Niannian's voice.
Everyone crowded around.
Even the bespectacled cryptography expert crowded around with anticipation.
“Here, here, and here.” Su Niannian first pointed to several locations on the picture book.
It's not hard to see that there are some hidden numbers on it.
If you look at it from a slightly angled position, it's easy to see.
"Seventeen, two, seventy-six."
"This corresponds to February 17, 1976."
"The ledger records that on this day, the beef noodles cost 55 cents, the washbasin cost 3.1 yuan, and the yarn cost 1.2 yuan."
"I can understand a bowl of beef noodles costing 55 cents, but what kind of washbasin costs 3.1 yuan? In my hometown, a washbasin only costs a few cents, and what kind of yarn does a grown man need?"
Su Niannian continued.
Then I opened the stamp album.
"This is yarn. The pattern looks a lot like a washbasin, and the number below it is 0031."
Su Niannian pointed to her discovery and said.
Then the cryptography expert and Zhou Qishan received a hint from Su Niannian.
They immediately took the tools and began to decipher the code.
Another ten minutes or so passed, and the first string of code had been cracked.
"Holy crap, it actually works!" Zhou Qishan's face was filled with joy.
"Miss Su, you're amazing!!" Zhou Qishan gave Su Niannian a thumbs up!
