Feng Yan touched for a long time but didn't touch anything. The doubts in his heart passed away. He immediately climbed off the stool and moved the pile of stools to the northeast corner. After standing on it, he found the gusset plate in the same position as before and opened it again. , this time when he put his hand in, he touched a bulging plastic bag. He pulled the plastic bag down with a pull, and then returned to the ground.
"Well, it turns out it's either in the northwest corner or the northeast corner."
There are many characters in this mural with a strong Western style. Not only are there many people, but there are also many musical instruments. Everyone's movements and expressions are slightly different. When so many almost dazzling clues appear, it is very easy to disrupt the player's normal thinking and cause misleading, just like Feng Yan's moment of realization. , it feels like there is something wrong with each one, and there seems to be no problem with either one.
But Feng Yan is Feng Yan after all. He is a person with his own set of rules. He has always had his own set of rules for searching for clues. He calls it: committing a crime... ah, no, the rule of simplicity and complexity.
The rule of simplicity and complexity: Look at the general outlines of complex clues and try to think of them as simply as possible. Look at the details for clues that are simple and lack hints, and try to think as complex as possible.
This set of rules is very effective in solving more difficult puzzles. Of course, it depends on who is solving the puzzle. Not everyone can use this set of rules.
The shape formed by the two musical instruments in the mural just now made Feng Yan feel a little familiar. The instrument of the white-bearded uncle in the middle was placed very upright, and the position of the strings was also very upright, forming a cross shape, and in his Above the long instrument, there is a guy with a mustache who also plays an instrument. He plays his instrument horizontally, so that in the painting, it matches the white-bearded uncle's instrument and the position of the strings. It forms a figure with one less horizontal line in the middle of the word 'Feng', and one vertical line in this figure is relatively to the right.
This reminded Feng Yan of a strange place he saw when he first entered this office and shined the flashlight on the ceiling.
As mentioned above, when Feng Yan first entered this office, he found that the ceiling here was a bit strange. Why would the principal's office of a private high school adopt the style of the ceiling of an office building? This in itself is unreasonable.
At that time, Feng Yan temporarily accepted this setting, but when his flashlight shone to the northernmost point, that is, the end of the wall, he discovered an even more unreasonable thing, that is, at the end of the northern wall, there actually appeared For the non-square gusset profile, the end of the northern ceiling uses a rectangular gusset that is smaller than the square gusset. This means that workers made errors in size measurement during construction.
What is a measurement error? For example, if a 10x10 square space needs to be laid with tiles, then after the workers measure the size, they will choose tiles with an area that can be divided by 10, because only in this way can the tiles be laid. In the end, it will just cover the entire space. During this period, if the measurement is wrong and you choose tiles that cannot be divided by 10, such as 3x3 tiles, then there will be a part of the area that does not match the size of the selected tiles. At this time, It is necessary to choose ceramic tiles that meet the size of the remaining area to fill the final remaining area. Most of the time, you have to choose to cut the magnetic ring to fill it, and this will inevitably affect the overall aesthetics.
In fact, this is not a big problem. When decorating many homes or offices, this kind of thing will happen more or less. It is not a big thing, and it does not affect the appearance too much. There is nothing we can do about this kind of thing. Avoid, because it is very simple. The person who builds the house and the person who sells ceramic tiles and gusset boards are not the same person, and there are only a few sizes of tiles and gusset boards. How can it be 100% guaranteed that the size of each house can be Does it exactly match one of the various sizes of ceramic tiles and gussets on the market? If the match is just right, it's luck. If the match is not good, you can customize it if you pursue perfection. But most people don't have the spare money to customize it, and it's impossible for a factory to customize a tile specifically for a certain size.
But don’t forget, the scene at this moment is virtual. It is a virtual space designed by the copy designer. The parameters are determined by the designer. What size of tiles and gussets they want are left to them. It can come out with just a few keystrokes with your fingers, so there is no possibility that the area of the ceiling of the house does not match the gusset plate.
So Feng Yan started to pay attention to this strange place as soon as his flashlight shone on it. He temporarily wrote down this first hidden reminder. Yes, Feng Yan decided that this was definitely a hidden reminder, as long as he thought it was unreasonable. Things can usually be used as hints when solving puzzles. Feng Yan, who has an excellent sense of logic, has never made a miscalculation.
The second unreasonable thing is the pile of plastic stools in the corner. The appearance of this pile of stools in the principal's office that seemed to have been swept away is an unreasonable thing in itself. These plastic stools are of good quality. It wasn't damaged, so why wasn't it taken away?
Also, the height of this stack of stools must be a bit too high. It doesn’t look normal at first glance. This makes Feng Yan easily think about whether this stack of stools is a hidden space for players to search for the location of the ceiling. prepare?
Although Feng Yan had guessed it very well, the office was too large. Even if the secret grid was locked on the ceiling, if he chose to use the pile of stools to search for the ceiling one by one, it would still be too late.
The non-square shape that appears at the northern end of the ceiling to fill the gusset area is exactly the same as the shape formed by the seemingly accidental alternation of the white-bearded uncle's musical instrument and the mustache uncle's musical instrument in the painting, except that the area shape that fills the gusset panel area is the same. This graphic with one less horizontal line in the character 'Feng' was copied and pasted a little longer, and then appeared horizontally, forming a shape similar to the character '卅', and then stretched all the way from the northwest corner to the northeast corner.
The two musical instruments in the mural were the key to the graphic prompt. Feng Yan only took a few glances, and using the complex clues and simple rules, he immediately determined that the final prompt was given here: the thing was either hidden in the northeast corner of the ceiling or in the northwest. horn.
In fact, when he first saw the filled-in gusset area in the north row, Feng Yan had doubted whether the hidden grid was there, but firstly, he was not fully sure, and secondly, he was confident that the puzzle of the mural would not be too difficult. Observation It won't waste much time at once, and it won't be a waste to spend a minute or two to get a definite answer.
After pulling off the plastic bag, Feng Yan sat on the ground and opened the thick black plastic bag. There were many bits and pieces inside, and Feng Yan began to look at them one by one.
There are some transfer bills in the plastic bag, and the amounts are not small. Feng Yan guesses that these should be transferred to the parents of the students who were killed by ghosts. The dead people use money to settle the bills. They are in the form of settlement fees and are nothing more than a blockage. Just keep these parents' mouths shut. There must be some who are uncooperative, but this is not something worth investigating.
In addition, there are some photos, a few diaries, a few mobile phones, and some sundries. Judging from these photos, they should be clues left by the deceased, including bloody words written on the wall. There are even photos of the death scene, and the diary records some supernatural events that the deceased encountered and the true appearance of some female ghosts he saw.
