Film and Television: The Great Feng Sword Immortal, starting with Lingyue's updo hairstyle

Governor Zhang felt that what Su Nan said made some sense, so he immediately sent people to do it.

Although this task is quite tedious at first glance, it can still be accomplished if there are enough people willing to dedicate the time. 9.

However, the final result was quite disappointing. 7.

After comparison, all that was obtained were meaningless statements. 5.

This indicates that the codebook Su Nan suspected was not one of these books. 6.

“Perhaps your thinking was flawed from the start,” Li Miaozhen said, frowning. (3)

"Perhaps the code left by Zhou Min has another meaning and doesn't require a codebook."

"But we don't yet know the secrets behind it." (2)

However, Su Nan immediately shook his head.

"No, Zhou Min's line of thinking must be exactly as I imagined."

"But we might be wrong. The codebook Zhou Min left for us wasn't a book at all."

"If we think about it this way, then what Zhou Min left behind might be something with writing on it, but not actually a book!"

"Judging from the numbers in the code, this is definitely not just one or two pieces of paper; it must be something quite thick."

Li Miaozhen and Nangong Qianrou exchanged a glance, remained silent for a moment, and then said in unison, "Huangli Pass!"

Nangong Qianrou immediately rummaged through Zhou Min's belongings and found a thick, yellowed almanac. She said...

"The codebook, that's it!"

It is a book, yet it is not a book.

It is both eye-catching and unremarkable.

Based on the speculation and analysis of Zhou Min's character during this period,

The group was extremely confident that they had found the codebook!

Because that's Zhou Min's style.

Everyone was excited, eagerly flipping through the almanac to decipher the code left by Zhou Min by comparing it with the two strings of numbers!

Chapter 86 Deciphering the Code: Evidence Left by Zhou Min!

The group eagerly flipped through the almanac, starting with the first character.

Then, following the clues, count to the 162nd character: 日 (sun)!

The "day" in "Yi Mao day".

Then comes the 347th character, the fourth character, the first character, and the second character.

Combined: Mo Riguang Ding Yi Wu!

Obviously, this is wrong.

Next, they used the second method.

Use page number, not word number.

If we're using page numbers, then each word count corresponds to a specific day in the calendar. The combination is as follows:

默、4月6号、1月15号、1月29号、1月25号、1月26号。

"Looks like you guessed wrong."

Li Miaozhen looked at Su Nan and sighed.

The excitement on the faces of Governor Zhang, Nangong Qianrou, and others quickly faded.

They thought they had cracked the code left by Zhou Min, but it turned out that their approach was wrong.

"No, I think this line of thinking is correct."

Su Nan, however, remained steadfast.

Everyone turned to look at him.

Su Nan didn't rush to answer the question, but instead said, "Among the codes left by Zhou Min, this 'silent' is the only character."

"Let's try to guess the meaning of this character '默' first."

"..."

After Su Nan finished speaking, the entire room fell silent.

Everyone's expression was the same.

It's like listening to the teacher explain a problem in math class.

I understood it while listening to the lecture.

During the exam, you can only write down a solution.

"Zhou Min likes to solve word puzzles."

"The character '默' (mò), when broken down, is essentially composed of the characters '黑' (hēi, black) and '犬' (quǎn, dog). 278"

What does black represent? And what does a dog represent?

The surroundings remained completely silent.

This moment (9756%324<10).

From the governor to the post station clerk, everyone was questioning their own intelligence.

Is it that Su Nan is too clever, or am I too...?

Su Nan laughed and said, "Do you still remember the five word puzzles we solved?"

"Besides Siming Bridge, there is another location, Huangbo Street."

"I remember the night watchman who went to Huangbo Street saying that it was a dog market?"

Several silver and bronze gongs immediately nodded in agreement.

They were the people who went to Huangbo Street to search.

However, nothing was gained.

“That’s right, that’s the dog market!” a gong-wielder confirmed.

Su Nan nodded and said, "The character '默' can be broken down into '黑' (black) and '犬' (dog)."

"The information about Huangbo Street is a clue left by Zhou Min in the previous word puzzle game, and I think it now matches up."

Li Miaozhen frowned upon hearing this: "So you think the code refers to the dog market?"

"If the character for 'dog' can be interpreted in this way, then how should the character for 'black' be interpreted?"

"Is it too hasty to draw such a conclusion?"

Li Miaozhen was not questioning Su Nan's way of thinking.

I just think this way of thinking is too casual.

We can't just guess and expect to crack the clues left by a night watchman.

Su Nan then laughed and said, "Just make bold guesses and carefully verify them."

"Solving cases is nothing more than this."

Everyone present nodded silently upon hearing this.

Su Zhexian's words... make perfect sense!

That's how case-solving works; often, a guess is the key to solving a problem!

As long as we can find evidence to support our conjectures, then it's fine!

Li Miaozhen also felt that Su Nan's words made a lot of sense, so she stopped talking.

"I have some thoughts about this black character, but they still need to be verified."

Su Nan looked around and stared at a courier.

How much do you know about Huangbo Street?

The courier hadn't expected Su Nan to ask him a question. He was momentarily stunned before answering:

"Huangbo Street, that place is fine during the day, quiet and peaceful."

"But at night, the place becomes a mixed bag, with all sorts of people there, from petty thieves and wandering travelers to even bandits from the mountains."

Upon hearing this, Su Nan laughed and said, "Mountain bandits and江湖客 (jianghu kè kè, wandering swordsmen) wouldn't go there just to eat a bite of dog meat, would they?"

The courier hesitated for a moment before speaking:

"Of course not. Huangbo Street may appear to sell dog meat, but it's actually a black market."

"They are selling shady things and engaging in shady transactions."

Su Nan asked, "Have you been there?"

The courier immediately looked ashamed and whispered, "I went to buy dog ​​meat."

Judging from the courier's expression, everyone knew there was something fishy going on!

Why make that face when buying dog meat...?

I'm afraid that the black market isn't selling real dog meat.

Governor Zhang then hissed, "Explain yourself clearly!"

When questioned by Governor Zhang, the courier hurriedly explained, "I visited a brothel at shop number 6, and buying dog meat meant exactly that."

"What does 'Xin 6' mean?" Nangong Qianrou asked curiously.

"The black market shops are named after the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches." The young courier blushed.

Being exposed for soliciting prostitutes in front of so many people, he was so embarrassed that he gripped the ground with his toes.

Su Nan smiled and waved.

"Now we know that the word 'silent' refers to this black market where dog meat is sold."
