Sizzle...sizzle...sizzle...
In the darkness, the fluorescent light of the TV illuminated the cheeks of Makoto Sakaki and Miss Miyano. After a few minutes, there was still a snowflake on the screen.
"The player is broken?"
Seeing that the tape had finished playing and there was still no picture on the screen, Sakaki Makoto could no longer bear it. He let go of the soft body in his arms, walked straight to the player, took out the tape, and checked it over and over again.
After a while...
"The player is fine..."
He muttered:
"Could it be that the tape is old and can't be developed?"
After more than ten years, everything will age. Even if it doesn’t age, it will be covered in dust!
Taking out a screwdriver from under the TV cabinet, Makoto Sakaki opened the videotape.
The videotape of Ryunosuke Sakaki used the VHS format, which first appeared in 1976 and was pioneered by Japan's JVC company. It was later vigorously promoted by Panasonic, Hitachi, Sharp and other companies, and finally entered thousands of households and became the boxed videotape format for home video systems.
After the 1970s, Japan was able to stand out in the field of electronic products for a long time, occupying a considerable share of the global market. It could even be said that it had no real rivals.
At that time, many electronic products used in Country Z were made in Japan.
Regardless of the character, if we only talk about the product, it is indeed quite good.
After disassembling the videotape, the inside is also very simple. Neither the video head nor the playback head is damaged, and the tape itself does not show any signs of mold...
Now Sakaki Makoto was a little confused.
From his 'professional point of view', this videotape can be used normally, but it just can't play the image. If there is no problem with the tape itself...
There is only one answer.
Originally, this tape had no images recorded on it, everything was blank.
A blank tape that has been preserved for more than ten years?
Not to mention others, even Sakaki Makoto doesn’t believe it!
The thing that made Sakaki Ryunosuke so cautious and entrusted it to President Mochida for safekeeping must have a mysterious secret.
The inability to play the video is probably one of Shenlongnosuke's secret means of protection.
In that case...
Sakaki Makoto will have to think about how to unlock the secret of this tape.
"Is there something wrong with the tape?"
A fragrant breeze blew from behind him, and Miss Miyano squatted beside him.
"Well, I need to check carefully..."
Nodding, Sakaki clamped the knob of the tape with a screwdriver and began to rotate it clockwise.
Click...click...
The tapes piled up on the other side, and Makoto Sakaki stared at the strip in the middle. Miss Miyano used a flashlight to illuminate the side, allowing the tapes to be reflected. Such a delicate work could not be done relying solely on the lights in the room.
When the tape is halfway through...
"Huh?"
"There seems to be a red shadow here!"
Sakaki Makoto picked up the tape box, held it flat on the table, bent down, and slowed down his movements.
The dark brown tape slowly turned, revealing a line of code written in red pen:
【·—··,··—·,———,—···,—】
"this..."
Seeing this line of code, Miss Miyano quickly dipped her index finger in water and drew the same pattern on the table:
"Isn't this Morse code?"
"Yes, that translates to...LFOBT?"
Sakaki Makoto was stunned for a moment:
"I've never seen this word before."
"I haven't seen it either..."
Miss Miyano was also confused:
"Where is this word in English?"
"Wait a moment..."
With his eyebrows raised, Sakaki Makoto suddenly said:
"This tape has been played, which means it has been rotated in its original position. We need to read it in reverse to read it correctly!"
Sakaki immediately wrote the Morse code on the table in reverse order and came up with...
【—,···—,———,·—··,··—·】
"FLOVT?"
Blinking her long eyelashes, Miss Miyano said innocently:
"In Danish, this word seems to mean embarrassment..."
"You also speak Danish?"
"I have read two papers by Danish scholars."
"Oh...my father went to all that trouble just to express embarrassment to me?"
Sakaki Makoto was totally confused and overwhelmed.
If Sakaki Ryunosuke had considered the issue of playing the tape...
Then he successfully confused Sakaki Makoto's vision and hearing.
Not to mention interpreting it, Sakaki Makoto wanted to mess up the tape on the spot.
FLOVT?
What kind of bullshit information is this?
Not only did he deceive others, he also deceived his own people!
Sakaki Makoto gets angry when talking about this.
He didn't know why, in this world, everyone seemed to want to show off their intelligence. Some of the death information left at the scene was so complicated that the murderer's name could be written directly, but the deceased said:
"I won't! I'll feel uncomfortable if I don't add some difficulty!"
The current situation is the same as those people. If I don’t do something weird, I always feel like something is missing.
As expected, this is a world where detectives lead cases...
This is no longer a simple puzzle case, it's a complete brain teaser!
"And the other way around?"
Following the previous idea, Miss Miyano wrote TVOLF on the table, and five letters appeared that were completely unrelated except for the same system.
What exactly does Sakaki Ryunosuke want to express?
