Idle game leads to another world.

Chapter 363 Death Information
The Tangfeng Company is a well-known company in the business world, and the Wen and Qing families are only somewhat famous in this Silk City. No one knows them elsewhere.

When the eldest daughter of Tangfeng Trading Company came to visit, the Wen family naturally gave her 200% enthusiasm to welcome her.

Don’t worry about what you are here for, just be polite.

Of course, greetings were inevitable. Tang Lianyu practiced Tai Chi pushing hands with Wen Peng very skillfully. They pushed each other so much that Yang Yiyi almost fell asleep.

Fortunately, what Tang Lianyu wanted to talk about had little to do with Yang Yiyi. After some greetings, Tang Lianyu suggested that she wanted to go and see the Wen family's silk factory.

Although the Wen family's silk had to be supplied to old customers first, they could not offend the Tangfeng Company. Perhaps there would be a chance to ask for help in the future, so Wen Peng personally took Tang Lianyu to visit the silk factory outside the city. Yang Yiyi also took the opportunity to ask to see the crime scene again.

Wen Peng naturally wouldn't mind such a small matter. He called the servant who had led them there before, and soon returned to the courtyard where the crime scene occurred.

Looking at the courtyard she had visited once, Qin Yan said:

"Have you seen enough? Any new discoveries?"

Qin Yan didn't think there was any point in coming back again, she just wanted to give up.

Yang Yiyi scratched her head:
"It seems not..."

Halfway through her speech, Yang Yiyi suddenly stopped, rubbed her chest, and then changed the topic:

"I want to go to the toilet first."

"..."

Qin Yan really doubted whether Yang Yiyi had kidney problems. Could it be related to the internal energy she practiced?
But this time Yang Yiyi came and left very quickly, and when she came back, her face was filled with inexplicable confidence.

"I know what the wrong account left behind by the accountant before his death is. Come with me."

As she spoke, she strode into the room, pointed at the table and said:
"The accountant had written down a few pages of accounts before he died. If the murderer was also in the room when he was writing the accounts, it could mean that the accountant had a premonition that he might die, and there might be some clues left in the pages he wrote."

"I have looked at them, and there is no clue in those pages of errors."

Qin Yan also tried to find some clues from the wrong accounts, but everything she saw was a mess.

"Wrong, there are clues, but they are very hidden."

Yang Yiyi picked up a piece of paper, and the servant tactfully ground it for her.

"There were five numbers that were miscalculated. There was no zero or nine in these five numbers, and they were all in the tens, not the hundreds."

"What's so weird about this?"

"It's not strange, it's a pattern."

Yang Yiyi emphasized it and wrote down the wrong numbers in the account book on paper.

"It is impossible for an accountant to write such an outrageous account. It is like a naughty child. This is to make the investigators focus on the numbers."

"And then? What can we find out just by looking at these numbers?"

"You can't tell anything just by looking at the numbers. These numbers are encrypted and require hints to decrypt."

Yang Yiyi blew away the ink and asked the servant next to her:

"Was the Bagua mirror on the door frame of this room placed there by the deceased?"

The servant was startled and hurried out to take a look:
"Yes, yes, just as Miss Yang said, I remember there was no Bagua mirror before, it should have been hung by the deceased accountant."

"Bagua mirror? What kind of clue is this?"

"The door of this room faces the corner, which is very unfavorable in terms of Feng Shui. Most people don't know this. Since the accountant has hung up the Bagua mirror, it means that he has a certain understanding of Feng Shui and thinks it is unlucky, so he hung it up." "What does that have to do with numbers?"

"These are the prerequisites. The accountant understands Feng Shui and knows that he is doomed, so the clues he left behind are related to Feng Shui. We need to consider this line of thought."

Yang Yiyi pointed to the number she had just written down:
"The number twenty-eight can be divided into three parts: two, ten, and eight."

Then Yang Yiyi pointed to a bookshelf full of books:
"The Bagua mirror outside the door is the Xiantian Bagua. The Bagua represents eight directions, and each of the Bagua also has its own number."

Qin Yan looked at the bookshelf and said in surprise:
"Could it be that... the first number refers to the direction?"

Yang Yiyi walked to the bookshelf with the paper in hand, and starting from a grid in the center, she pointed diagonally upward and said:

"Two is the position of Dui, ten is the tenth book, and eight is the eighth page of this book."

Take out the corresponding book and turn to page 8. The first word on it is "city".

"You can actually come up with such a complicated solution..."

Yang Yiyi puffed out her chest proudly:
"I'm very smart."

I don’t know what she is so proud of, it even feels like she is proud of others.

Judging from the time Qin Yan had spent with Yang Yiyi, she didn't think Yang Yiyi had this ability. She felt more like she had received guidance from an expert. Combined with the fact that she always went to the toilet...

Qin Yan thought that her guess was almost right.

He can’t be called an expert. Li Chengxi has never been a master at solving puzzles, and he doesn’t play many puzzle and reasoning games.

But as an old player who has been following the era of old stand-alone domestic games, he actually has a lot of experience in this kind of puzzle solving.

The themes of domestic single-player games of that era were mainly martial arts or fairy tales, and in order to increase playability, the mazes were almost the same as formations.

Among them, the Xuan-Yuan Sword series is the most terrible. Even though there are hints on the map, it still takes a lot of time just to figure it out on your own.

At that time, Li Chengxi's family didn't have an internet connection, so he couldn't look for strategies online, and he couldn't buy the official strategy books. If he wanted to pass the level, he could only think hard on his own.

Compared to those perverted maze puzzles, this one isn't that difficult to solve.

The reason why he didn't think of it before was because Li Chengxi didn't notice the Bagua mirror hanging at the door of the accounting office, and he also made a small mistake.

The original text on the accountant's desk was written in Chinese numbers, which was twenty-eight.

When Li Chengxi wrote down the numbers, he simply typed 28 on the numeric keypad for convenience.

A slight mistake can lead to a huge error. Although this is just a small difference, it can lead to a huge difference in interpretation.

28 can only be divided into two parts at most, but can be divided into three parts. In addition, after coming back and seeing the clue of the Bagua mirror, Li Chengxi felt very confident.

Before explaining all this, Yang Yiyi specifically asked the servant whether the Bagua mirror was hung there by the deceased, just to confirm. If not, this interpretation would most likely be untenable.

But then again, are scholars so scary?
I can actually remember what books are located in what position on my bookshelf, and even what the first word is on which page.

Although Li Chengxi solved the clue, it still felt outrageous.

Interpret it in the same way, turn the book corresponding to the five numbers to the corresponding pages, take out the first word respectively, and finally get the five words "城、外、丝、厂、品".

Among them, the silk factory outside the city clearly points out the direction, and although the word "pin" does not make any sense when viewed alone, it is probably a more precise location guide.

This solution can completely interpret a sentence, which means it is most likely correct. As for whether it is truly correct, you have to check it yourself.
