Chapter 1318: Decryption of the Notice Letter



Tang Ze shook his head and said, “Although with your sister’s reputation, Scotland Yard will definitely send someone to protect you.

But in this situation where the enemy is hidden and we are in the open, making a big fuss will also let the prisoners know, which is not a good thing.

The other party may take a more radical attitude and attack you."

"Then what should we do?" Ares said anxiously, "We don't know when the criminal will make his move!"

"The prisoner only sent out the notice this afternoon. It definitely won't be today."

Tang Ze said, "The notice letter clearly contains various hints. If we decipher it, we might be able to find out the time and place."

"Mr. Tangze, have you cracked the code?" Apollo looked at Tangze expectantly, hoping to get an answer from him.

"No, but the code doesn't have to be solved to know the time of the premonition of the crime."

Tang Ze smiled and said, "Remember what I said? You have to look beyond the surface of things to see their essence.

We have now basically confirmed that the criminal is coming for you, so what were your original plans for the next two days?"

"Ah! That's right!"

Apollo suddenly realized what was going on and said, "I only need to look at my subsequent itinerary, then I will know the criminal's goal, right?

After all, his original plan was to commit the crime in front of me!"

"Tomorrow is Saturday. You were supposed to watch your sister's game, right?" Ares's expression changed when he heard this. "Is the criminal planning to attack Mineva?!"

"Sister is in danger!?" Apollo said with a pale face, "We must tell Sister about this as soon as possible!"

"No, you are all in equal danger."

Tang Ze shook his head and said, "The most urgent thing now is to find out the identity of the criminal so that we can infer his method of committing the crime.

But I guess there are only two types: shootings and bombs.

If the crime took place in a crowded place like Wimbledon Stadium, the probability of a bomb being used is much higher.”

"bomb..."

Hearing Tang Ze's words, the two people next to him were horrified and even panicked: "In this case, we don't call the police..."

"Don't worry, the detectives from Scotland Yard won't sit still and wait for you to be killed."

Tang Ze smiled and said, "I think they are currently collecting information about the criminal's physical characteristics from the children, and they may be able to make some progress soon.

I still need more information to judge what will happen next. What’s more important now is to decipher the code.

Ultimately, all of this is just speculation, and I still need evidence to prove that my reasoning is correct."

At this point, Tang Ze opened the car door, looked at the two of them, and said, "I've already confirmed the information I wanted to confirm. Now the next step is to crack the code and look for evidence."

He took out his phone, looked at Apollo and said, "Let's exchange numbers and then separate here."

"Ah... okay..." Although Apollo was reluctant to hear that Tang Ze was leaving, he also knew that the other party was going to do important business, so he had no way to stop him.

But the other party's previous series of performances had already made him feel safe, so when the other party was about to leave, he naturally and instinctively felt reluctant to let him go.

This is not surprising. After all, they have never encountered such a thing. Once a reliable professional appears around them, they will naturally rely on him subconsciously.

Not to mention that Apollo is still a child, so it is normal for him to have such emotions.

However, the other party also knew the urgency of the matter, and just looked at Tang Ze expectantly and said: "If you have any news, remember to contact me immediately..."

"Don't worry, if the criminal's purpose is the same as I speculated, I will take the initiative to find you without you saying anything."

Tang Ze got out of the car and said with a smile, "See you later."

"Yeah!" Apollo nodded. After Tang Ze closed the car door, he nodded to the driver Ares, who started the car and drove away.

Looking at the vehicle going away, Tang Ze took out the trailer in his hand.

"The ringing bells woke me up from my sleep

I am a long-nosed wizard who lives in a castle.

Fill your stomach with cold boiled eggs

I am satisfied after swallowing the pickled cucumber in the last bite

Don't forget to order a cake in advance to celebrate

The bell rang again, causing hatred in my heart

Pierce the white back with two swords and end it all."

Based on simple reasoning, the information in the code can be interpreted as a murder occurring near two watch shops next to a building like a castle, surrounded by food stores, cake shops, and sword shops.

But the code is not that simple. Each code of the prisoner actually represents a building.

For example, the "cold as a corpse boiled egg" refers to the City Hall next to the Tower Bridge in London.

Scattered around the town hall are scary dolls thrown by prisoners with the name "mazarinstone" embroidered on them.

This actually refers to the "Crown Jewels Case" in Sherlock Holmes, and is why the criminal left a message for the children telling them to find Sherlock Holmes.

Because at various locations in the notice letter, the criminal left clues related to the Holmes case.

When you pull out the doll's head, you'll see the letter "t" printed on the neck.

As for the "pickle", it is called Gherkin in London. Nearby, the criminals threw a lot of pens with scratches on them, on which were written the case of "Dancing Doll" in Sherlock Holmes.

Putting the two caps together creates the letter "n".

As for the bell at the beginning, it refers to "Big Ben". The prisoner wrote "Uncanny Valley" in the sewer, and an "a" was engraved on the small manhole cover that was tied with a rope and thrown into the river.
