Original sin

Shen Chen got off the car near the provincial TV station, he asked Xiao Qiushui to go back first, and he asked Xu Jing.

There are two things about Xu Jing, one is about the letter Xu Jing sent him last night, and the other is about Xiao Zhenqin.

He sat down on a bench in Chunlei Square, smoking a cigarette.

Xu Jing said she would arrive in 15 minutes, but he had been waiting for almost 10 minutes.

Just when he was about to call Xu Jing to remind her, Xu Jing's voice came from behind: "I'm sorry, I've been delayed for a while because of something urgent, should you be in a hurry?" After speaking, he walked forward Sit down beside Shen Chen.

She was very close, Shen Shen smelled the faint scent of jasmine perfume on her body.

"You said on the phone what happened to Xiao Zhenqin?"

As soon as Xu Jing opened her mouth, she asked about Xiao Zhenqin.

Shen Chen asked: "Do you know Xiao Zhenqin's boyfriend?"

Xu Jing stared at Shen Shen with wide eyes: "What do you mean, you are also controlled by Sister Yu, right? Why, have you fallen in love with her? I can warn you, you are not suitable, so don't make up minds. I said Shen Chen, put a girl next to you." You turn a blind eye to such a beautiful woman? Take a step back, even if you look down on me, what about Wang Lu? I really don't know what you men think."

Shen Chen's head suddenly became dizzy, he didn't expect Xu Jing to think about that.

He smiled wryly and said, "You just answer whether you know him or not."

"Yes, she is a top teacher like her, six years younger than her, a typical sibling relationship, why are you asking this?"

Shen Shen replied: "That man is dead."

"Dead? When did it happen? I saw them together some time ago."

"What happened a week ago was poisoned."

Xu Jing's expression was exaggerated: "Poisoning? Who would poison him if he is good-natured."

"We are investigating, so I just want to ask you, you have known Xiao Zhenqin for a long time, right? How much do you know about her?"

Xu Jing is a very smart person. When Shen Shen asked her this question, she immediately understood, and directly grasped the key point of the question: "Are you suspecting that Xiao Zhenqin killed him?"

Shen Shen didn't say a word, which was his default.

"How is it possible? You don't know, she treats her little boyfriend like a treasure. We often have parties, and she always comes alone. Some sisters laugh at her, and she is reluctant to bring her little boyfriend to play with us. Guess what? How can she say, she is really afraid of being picked up by our sisters!"

"That means she really cares about that Tang Jianwei?"

"It turned out that his name was Tang Jianwei. We only knew that she called him Awei, and we called him Awei too. She didn't tell us his name, let alone give us his contact information, but we sisters are already used to it." Said Xu Jing sighed when she got here, she said that she didn't expect that the world is impermanent, and it's been a long time since I haven't seen each other.

"Do you know how she got together with this man?"

"Of course she told us this. She said that Ah Wei was fascinated by her the first time he saw her, and launched a fierce offensive against her. He sent flowers, ate and listened to music, and finally She was still moved by his sincerity."

Obviously, what Xiao Zhenqin said and what Wan Feier said were completely different versions, and Shen Chen didn't know which one was true.

"Tell me what you think of Xiao Zhenqin!"

Xu Jing rolled her eyes and said, "You really doubt her?"

Shen Chen just smiled and didn't explain.

Xu Jing was not hypocritical, and said: "She is still a very nice person, and she is enthusiastic about her friends. She will help any of us with anything. Last time, the father of one of my sisters was ill and needed an expensive operation fee. She said nothing. I just sent [-] to her, and I didn’t say when to pay it back. I only said that we would wait until she was free. Our sisters all spoke highly of her, and she was quite like a big sister. I think, although she is a I came from abroad, but the essence has not changed much. Of course, I have acquired some petty bourgeois sentiments abroad, but this is understandable. Aren’t some people who have never stayed abroad also petty bourgeoisie? Personally, I think petty bourgeoisie is just a way of life. Attitude, who wouldn't want to be more comfortable when they have the ability? Right?"

"What about you? Are you a petty bourgeois?" Shen Chen asked with a smile.

"I don't have that problem, I think, life still has to be down-to-earth, for example, how boring are those who send flowers, how good is the discount? What's the use of the flowers, whether they can be eaten or drunk."

"It's pleasing to the eye!"

"Tch, it withered in two days, and I have to bother to clean it."

After Xu Jing finished speaking, as if she didn't want to continue on Xiao Zhenqin's matter, she said: "In short, I don't believe that she will kill someone, and she will kill someone she loves so much. By the way, have you read the letter?"

"Look." Shen Shen said.

Xu Jing regained her spirits all of a sudden: "Oh? Then what did you see?"

Shen Shen said, "Are you sure it's a letter?"

Xu Jing shrugged her shoulders: "But that is indeed the format for writing a letter, and your father's name is written on it."

Shen Shen lit another cigarette: "Then there is not a single sentence in the full text that is understandable, and the grammar is also messed up.

"That's why I said I don't understand."

Shen Shen said: "Will someone intentionally use this thing to disturb our sight?"

"It shouldn't be! You can see that the paper and the ink should be some years old. I think this letter may be very important, but we haven't found the key to unlock it. Think about it, might there be something hidden in it?" Something like a password needs to be deciphered!"

It's not like Shen Chen didn't think about it, but last night he tried to crack it in many ways, but in the end it was all in vain.

"Do you want someone to help you look?"

Shen Chen asked her who to look for.

Xu Jing said: "I know that there is a professor in Guizhou University who is very good at passwords and has been engaged in research in this area. Maybe he can see why. He has a good relationship with my dad. In this way, I let my dad Give him a call and we'll try to find him."

After she finished speaking, she really called her dad. She didn't say much on the phone, she just said that she wanted to talk to the professor for some work, and her dad told her the phone number.

She contacted the professor again, hung up the phone and said, "Let's go, we're going to Qianzhou University now."

The professor's surname is Gu, and his name is Gu Ming. He is about 50 years old and wears a pair of black-rimmed glasses with thick lenses.

"You are Xiao Jing? I haven't seen you for many years. Come in and sit down." Gu Ming looked at Shen Shen who was beside Xu Jing again, and asked with a smile, "Is this your boyfriend?" Shen Shen was about to speak To explain, Xu Jing twisted his waist hard, and then glared at him again. He smiled helplessly and closed his mouth.

After sitting down, Xu Jing directly explained why she came.

Of course, she didn't tell about Shen Chen's father, she just said that she wanted Professor Gu to help see if there were any secrets hidden in that letter.

Shen Chen took out the copy of the letter and handed it to Gu Ming. Gu Ming took off his glasses, and the pair of glasses almost reached the paper.

After reading for a long time, he fixed his eyes: "Where did this letter come from?"

Shen Chen and Xu Jing looked at each other, Xu Jing said: "Uncle Gu, Shen Chen is a policeman, this letter is very important to the case he is handling."

Hearing what Xu Jing said, Gu Ming took another look at Shen Chen: "Your name is Shen Chen?"

Shen Shen nodded, and Gu Ming said again: "I heard that Shen Shen, the captain of the Criminal Police Brigade of the Lincheng City Bureau, is very capable, and someone even gave him the title of Lincheng Detective. Could it be you?"

Shen Chen was very embarrassed all of a sudden, and nodded: "It's me, but I can't bear this title."

"What can you afford? As a policeman, you can protect the safety of people's lives and property. If you dare to fight those criminals, you can afford it. Xiao Shen, you are not bad!" Gu Ming gave a thumbs up, and then turned to Xu Jing He said: "Xiao Jing, you are not bad!"

His first good is to say that Shen Shen did a good job as a policeman, and the second good is to imply that Xu Jing has vision.

Xu Jing smiled triumphantly.

Shen Chen said, "Professor Gu, do you see anything?"

Gu Ming smiled: "Of course I can see that there is no punctuation mark in the whole article, and the nearly [-] characters are completely irrelevant when read. It seems that there is no connection or pattern, but if you look carefully But there is a rule to follow, this rule is to retreat one every tenth, come on, you see, counting from the first character to the tenth character, what is one character back?"

Xu Jing replied: "Dong Zi!"

Gu Ming said again: "Now we count from the character behind Dong to the tenth character, what's the one character back?"

"Xi Zi." Xu Jing still rushed to answer, but she thought about it and said, "Why do you have to retreat one every tenth, and just count to the ninth?"

"That's right, you can count to nine if you want, but this is not a simple count to nine, you continue to count and see."

Shen Chen had already counted it in his heart, and he frowned: "Professor Gu, other than the word stuff, I still don't understand it!"

"Well, this is the genius of the other party. I only said half of what I said before. If you really want to get the answer, you have to do one thing first, and that is to break the sentence! Add punctuation marks to these words, don't care about the context, It’s just that the sentence you broke off is fluent. Then when you count to nine, you have to count these punctuation marks together, but when the counted number is right on the punctuation mark, go forward one.”

After hearing what Professor Shen said, Shen Shen really understood that it is not a simple counting to nine. Every tenth step back and wait on the punctuation marks. If you use the method of counting nine, you will not retreat by one but go forward.

"Try it, remember, no matter how long or short the sentence is, you can always find a smooth sentence along it. For example, the first sentence 'he used to go to the Northeast when he was young' is a smooth sentence, but the second sentence has only three sentences. The word 'look back'. Alright, the method has been told to you, and you can play the rest by yourself."

Shen Chen and Xu Jing started to move.

"Donglai Shangcheng Old Neighborhood Chen Lao second-hand store has what you need"!

Shen Chen and Xu Jing looked at each other, and they really figured it out.

Professor Gu was reading the book not far away, and saw the two people stop: "Have you found the answer?"

"I found it, thank you, Professor Gu!" Shen Chen thanked him sincerely. Professor Gu said: "I didn't expect that there would be people who would play such a small game. There are not many people who like passwords now. Xiao Shen, if you are interested in this If you are interested, you can come to me at any time, I think this should be of some help to your work."

"Good Professor Gu, I will be nagging you by then."

"Be polite to me, you are Xiaojing's boyfriend, and Xiaojing's father and I have been friends for decades, you can just call me Uncle Gu just like Xiaojing, don't be so arrogant!" Shen Shen couldn't laugh or cry, He didn't explain it just now, and now it's even more difficult for him to explain, so he could only call out: "Uncle Gu."

"That's right, Xiao Jing, bring Xiao Shen to the house to play more in the future, or you can stay here today, your aunt will be out of class in a while, and I will let her make arrangements for dinner."

"No Uncle Gu, we still have things to do." Shen Shen hurriedly refused, and Gu Ming said: "Yes, you detectives are indeed very busy, but no matter how busy you are, you should eat well and pay more attention to your body."
