Chapter 165 Comrades, Is This Illegal?

Seeing Qu Yi's somewhat surprised expression, Xu Ye acted very calmly.

"Judging from the layout of the desk, Dean Chu Sheng's dominant hand is his right hand."

"Things like pens, teacups, books, etc. are all placed on the right side."

"But there is only a bottle of ink placed on the front left side, which is very inconsistent with the habits of right-handed people."

"As for why he placed it like this, it is probably because if the linked mechanism under the table is placed on the right side, it will easily affect the usual placement of objects."

With the rotation of the mechanism, the bookshelf finally pushed into both sides.

The walls on both sides are actually movable, just enough to accommodate bookshelves that can be snapped into them.

A metal door appeared behind the bookshelf, with a very ancient turntable combination lock on it.

There are five digits in the password, ranging from 0-9. At this moment, the password displayed above is also 00000.

Qu Yi stepped forward and tried to pull the door open, then shook his head: "The door is locked."

"Actually, the door should be pushed open." Xu Ye said calmly.

Qu Yi quickly grabbed the door handle and pushed it inward, but the door still didn't move.

He gave me a look of confusion and confusion.

"It does have to be pushed open, but I didn't say no password." Xu Ye walked to the door seriously and said in a matter-of-fact tone.

The corners of Qu Yi's mouth suddenly twitched, and his lips moved several times, but finally he still didn't say anything.

Xu Ye suppressed a smile and observed the structure of the gate and the surrounding layout.

Soon he noticed a few books on the bookshelf next to the door.

A few seconds later, his eyes flickered, revealing his original look: "I know, is it the Caesar cipher and the Vigenère cipher table?"

He stepped forward and started to turn the password: "21585..."

"How do you know this!" Qu Yi was shocked again.

"Have you not noticed the contents on this bookshelf?" Xu Ye explained while pushing the combination lock.

"Most of the books on Chu Sheng's bookshelf are arranged according to the first letter."

"And Chinese books and English books are placed on different bookshelves."

"But the books on these two push-pull bookshelves are not arranged according to this rule."

As he spoke, he raised his head and glanced at the book above.

"And these books are all in English. Except for the half bookshelf that is hidden in the wall, there are five books left outside on the left side. The first letter is used as a secret text."

"The books on the right, taking the first letters, should belong to the key part."

"You only need to work backwards to get the five letters of the original plain text."

"Convert these five letters into corresponding numbers through the alphabet, and you can get a five-digit password."

As he spoke, he turned all the combination locks.

Only a crisp sound was heard, and the password door opened in response.

Xu Ye pushed the door open, and Qu Yi beside him was so shocked that he couldn't speak: "You were an agent before enrolling in school?"

"By the way, why did he leave the password hint here?"

"Maybe it's because the password is changed frequently." Xu Ye guessed casually, "It can be seen that he is a very cautious person."

"Every time he changed his password, in order to prevent his memory from being confused, he would deliberately change the placement of the books as a reminder to avoid being unable to remember the password."

"Then why doesn't he use smarter door locks like fingerprint locks or voiceprint locks?"

"Because I'm worried about being found by the police." Xu Ye said calmly, "As long as it is an electronic device, it may be discovered."

"If I remember correctly, when the Tianjiang Orphanage was sealed before, there was a hidden dark room that used that kind of fingerprint password lock."

"But during the police search, its electronic signal was discovered, thus exposing its location."

"In order to avoid repeating the same mistakes, he chose to use this mechanical, older method to cover up."

The extremely heavy iron door was slowly pushed open by Xu Ye.

Surprisingly, there was a light on inside, which looked very bright.

"It seems there is an independent power supply here." Xu Ye glanced above his head and walked in with Qu Yi.

But as soon as they entered the door, their eyes froze slightly.

Only the two people could be seen directly in front of them.

A figure was leaning against the wall, with a haggard face and a shriveled body.

It looks like a mummy that has been dead for several days!

"Sure enough, it's just as I thought!" The moment Xu Zai saw the corpse, his eyes flashed.

He looked at the shocked Qu Yi beside him and said calmly, "Your replaced memory, if I guess correctly, comes from this dear friend."

As if he knew the other person, he read out the name and origin of the corpse: "Lu Jiangjing, forty-two years old, incompetent, working at a construction site."

"About ten years ago, he started a company. He originally had a happy family with two children."

"But due to Shengtian Group's acquisition of real estate, some conflicts arose with the other party."

"In just one year, his company went bankrupt, and his wife and children filed for divorce. However, there was a car accident on the way back to her parents' home, and they both died."

"And he was saddled with a lot of debt and could only go to work at construction sites to repay the money."

"And this Shengtian Group is Chu Sheng's former real estate company."

Xu Ye narrated calmly, having already investigated the identity and experience of the person in front of him clearly.

"Wait, you said that part of my memory comes from him?" Qu Yi's face changed slightly, staring at the corpse, the confusion in his eyes increased.

"What is going on?"

"It's not something difficult to understand, you are just being used." Xu Ye waved his hand casually, and suddenly turned his hand to grab the big iron door they came in.

"But before explaining this matter... let's invite the other protagonist out."

He buckled the iron door hard.

Then, in Qu Yi's gradually enlarged pupils.

Behind the iron door, a familiar figure appeared.

Uncle Zhao who was guarding the door!

He had been hiding behind the door, using the iron door to hide his figure.

At this time, his eyes were stunned, and he didn't expect Xu Ye to have discovered his existence a long time ago!

Xu Ye smiled slightly and looked at Uncle Zhao behind the door.

"Do you have anything to explain, Uncle Zhao?"

Uncle Zhao squeezed out a smile with a very reluctant look and walked out from behind the door.

"Comrade police, this is a misunderstanding!"

"I didn't kill this man!!!"

He looked a little flustered, and felt a little helpless: "I admit that I wanted to take some valuables away while the orphanage was closed down."

"But you came in before I started to take anything."

"Comrades, is this illegal?"
