Science is science, and science has nothing to do with witchcraft.

Any magical and incredible scene has a scientific explanation.

Indeed, Meng Shao was originally an expert in micro-expressions, and his knowledge of psychology was far beyond that of his time.

But no matter what, there was no way he could stage such a magical scene with just six questions.

That's witchcraft.

No, that's magic.

It looks amazing to the outsider, but magic is magic.

Everything starts at 8 a.m. on November 16th.

The "China-Japan Friendship Party" will open in two hours...



Meng Shaoyuan looked around, and then walked into the Sassoon Building calmly.

Wu Jingyi has already found out very clearly that their "guest" lives on the eighth floor of the Sassoon Building.

This guest is Professor Allegri!

The professor arrived in Shanghai, and at his insistence, as a Jew, he moved into the Sassoon Building, which was also run by a Jew.

Also, he doesn't like having people standing at his door for so-called security.

In his opinion, this was ridiculous.

Therefore, Meng Shaoyuan arrived at the eighth floor without any obstruction and opened the door of Professor Allegri's room.

"Who are you?"

"Professor Allegri, I am Meng Shaoyuan, the research subject you were invited to come to Shanghai this time."



Meng Shaoyuan stayed with Professor Allegri for more than several hours.

He had many academic discussions with the professor and gave him great inspiration.

After all, Meng Shaoyuan's psychological knowledge was far ahead of his time.

"Thank you, Meng." Professor Allegri recorded in his notebook as if he had found a treasure: "You have given me great inspiration. Ah, I should invite you to the United States. I think there are many, many more worthy of gratitude. A place for you to ask for advice.”

"Maybe one day I will go, but at least not now." Meng Shaoyuan said slowly: "You also know that my country is being tortured by war..."

"I know that I sympathize with your country's misfortunes."

"You are a Jew. In history, Jews have suffered a lot... Professor, you are in Shanghai. I think maybe I will need your help."



What Meng Shaoyuan said about the suffering and similar experiences of the Jews deeply moved Professor Allegri.

Therefore, the professor generously promised that as long as he was still in Shanghai, if Meng Shaoyuan needed his help, he would definitely do it.

Of course, due to Jewish shrewdness, this help is not without conditions.

Professor Allegri needs more knowledge about psychology.

Meng Shaoyuan promised him that he would try to say as much as possible before the professor returned to China.

He also knew that Kawamoto Kojiro would definitely arrange for him to meet with the professor.

What to do after meeting?

Both Meng Shaoyuan and Professor Allegri fell into deep thought.

"Kephis!"

Professor Allegri suddenly shouted: "Keffis scam!"

Meng Shaoyuan's eyes suddenly lit up.



Keffis scam, also called Keffis magic.

Keffis, an American, has been active in the United States and Europe since 1920 and is famous for his miraculous "mind-reading skills."

This kind of "mind reading" is almost exactly the same as the "New York meeting" between Professor Allegri and Watson.

It can even be said that the inspiration for the New York Conference came from Keffis.

But the difference is that the New York meeting was a discussion of psychology, while Keffis was a complete magic show.

At the magic scene, he would randomly invite some audience members to write what they were thinking on paper, then fold the paper and put it into an iron box by the audience.

Kephis then began to observe the audience and eventually guessed what was written on the paper.

Tried a hundred times and never failed.

Therefore, Keffis is also known as "Magical Keffis".

Professor Allegri and Watson did not believe that there was such a magical mind-reading ability in the world. They observed about a dozen performances of Keffis on the spot, and finally cracked the magic.

Magic, to put it bluntly, is worthless.

This magic requires four people and a chair.

The magician Caifeis, A sitting in the audience, B hiding on the beam behind the stage curtain, and C waiting below.

The audience was invited to the stage and sat down on the chairs at a preset angle. Keffis gave him paper and a large pen and asked him to write down what he was thinking about on the paper.

Then Kephis will turn his back.

In fact, when the audience is writing, B has already seen what is written through the telescope, and will quickly tell C.

C leaves and comes to the designated location and sends a signal to A in the audience. Then A will pass the message to Keffis, who has his back to the writer but faces the audience.

Putting something in an iron box or something like that is nothing more than delaying time.

So Kephis could easily guess what was written inside.

Just one last question:

In what way do Keffis, C and A convey information?

Professor Allegri and Watson soon discovered it too.

Keffis invented the unique "Keffis Code", which uses unique gestures and short phrases to express the twenty-six letters in English.

For example, banana: "Banana".

Stretching out his index finger and tapping his lips quickly with his thumb three times, Keffis on the stage could quickly understand.



Keffis probably would not have imagined that the "Keffis Code" he invented would have a very important impact on the future of psychology.

Although Professor Allegri and Watson discovered the secret of Keffis at that time, they would not reveal the secret, thus ruining other people's jobs.

They didn't even mention it to anyone, including their students.

Two scholars carefully recorded the "Kephis Code" and studied it. In that "New York Conference", they also partially used the Keffis cipher.

Of course, the most important thing is to rely on your familiarity with the other person's living habits and human nature to guess what the other person is writing.

More than twenty years later, after the death of the magician Keffis, the code he invented would gradually be made public and had a great impact in the field of psychology.

Many psychologists have mastered this code...



Of course Meng Shaoyuan knew what the "Keffis Code" was, but if he said it in front of Professor Allegri, it would definitely make the professor suspicious.

This research by him and Watson has not been made public yet.

So he "humbly" asked Professor Allegri what the "Keffis Scam" was.

Professor Allegri explained it to him and explained in detail how to use the "Keffis Code". Originally, he was worried about whether Meng Shaoyuan could master it in such a short time, but he soon discovered that his Worry is unnecessary.

Meng Shaoyuan not only "mastered" it quickly, but also put forward his own "unique" "insights" and streamlined some unnecessary gestures.

Professor Allegri confirmed that he had discovered a "genius" in China.

Poor professor, he didn't know that what Meng Shaoyuan mastered was the most perfect version of the "Keffis Code" that had been improved by future generations for decades...



As soon as they met at the International Hotel, Meng Shaoyuan and Professor Allegri began to communicate frequently through the "Keffis Code".

The two people held hands tightly as soon as they met. It seemed that they were talking to each other, but in fact they had already had a deep communication with their hands.

They devised a plan in the shortest possible time.

Especially when they were guessing each other, the "Keffis Code" was used vividly...



Professor Allegri moved his fingers...Meng Shaoyuan reached out and asked someone else for a pen...Meng Shaoyuan rubbed his nose with his hand...Professor Allegri put his hand to his mouth and flapped his right index finger rhythmically. face...

In everything, they use passwords to tell each other the information they want to master.

They already knew what the other party was writing about, such as cigarettes and scarves. Those so-called questions were nothing more than acting to deceive others.

The most shocking scene was when Meng Shaoyuan guessed six numbers and their order with just six questions.

Any ordinary person who masters the "Keffis Code" can perform "miracles" like Meng Shaoyuan.

The most pitiful person is probably Kawamoto Kojiro. He doesn't know what the "Keffis Code" is, he doesn't know that the two parties are "talking" in full view of the public, and he doesn't know that Meng Shaoyuan and Professor Allegri have met before. And an agreement has been reached...

People who think they are smart will always be defeated by their own smartness.

Just like Kawamoto Kojiro...



"Mr. Professor, your wine."

Meng Shaoyuan welcomed Professor Allegri in with a smile and handed him a glass of wine with a smile.

Professor Allegri also smiled and said: "This is a classic case. I will record it carefully after returning to China."

"This isn't psychology, this is magic."

"No, magic and psychology are related too."

Professor Allegri was very interested: "I learned a lot during this visit to Shanghai. I think I will make great progress in my major soon. And this is also thanks to you... What makes me even more happy is that I You can find an excuse to return to China, so you no longer have to help the Japanese. The failed Professor Allegri left this place sadly."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Professor." Meng Shaoyuan said seriously: "You helped me this time, but your reputation was harmed."

"No, no, Mr. Meng." Professor Allegri shook his hand and said:

"I am a scholar. The so-called failure will not have any impact on my reputation. On the contrary, I am very happy, so please don't take it to heart, Mr. Meng."

"Thank you, professor." Meng Shaoyuan said "thank you" again: "You will always be my friend."

"I will remember your words." Professor Allegri put down his wine glass and shook Meng Shaoyuan's hand: "I hope you have good luck in the future and can drive out the bad guys who invaded your country as soon as possible."

"I think we can do it, Professor!"

(Honestly, there are not many books recommended by Spider, but today I really recommend a book: Spy Trace. It is written by a newbie named Cheng Weilan. There are not many newbies coming to the military channel, and there are even fewer good ones. This book The book spider has been chasing me, and it’s quite fat. Brothers, it’s time to go and read it.)
