"What do the next two strings of numbers mean? 7.19, 5.3?"

The three train conductors had woken up at some point, and they joined in after hearing their discussion.

During the day, he looked at the little girl in his arms, his eyes were empty, and he could no longer find the original lively aura. The high-speed rail driver looked pretty good, except for the scary dry blood on his face, there seemed to be no other serious problems.

"I always feel like I've never seen this kind of two numbers separated by dots in reality..." Dai Bin muttered as he rubbed the scab on his cheek.

Qi Zhou on the side had an idea when he heard the words: "It's the coordinates! Whether it's the plane coordinates in math class or the latitude and longitude coordinates in geography class, they are all combinations of numbers. Generally, the first number is the abscissa or longitude, and the second number is the longitude. is the ordinate or latitude.

And here, the first number should be the number of rows, and the second number should be the number of columns, so the DVD with the number /23/2/10 should be No.19 in the seventh row of the fifth large cabinet where the movie is played. The big grid on the column! "

"It must be so!"

The others were also excited. With this clue, even if they didn't understand the last string of numbers, the scope of the search has been greatly narrowed.

Everyone quickly found the large grid indicated by the serial number. There was a row of DVDs in the grid, about fifty of them. Ruan Xiaoshui climbed up the escalator on the cabinet and compared them one by one.

During the day, he did not follow, but walked to the cashier counter thoughtfully. Ye Zhao stood beside him quietly, his eyes fell on his gauze-wrapped head, and he clenched and loosened his drooping right hand.

However, a few minutes later, the little man came down with a disappointed face, shook his head and said, "There is no DVD with this number."

"How is it possible! Are you sure you have compared it carefully?"

The so-called greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, and it was difficult for everyone to accept it for a while.

"Indeed there won't be." A flat tone sounded behind them during the day, "Because this DVD has been damaged."

During the day, I held an open transparent box in my hand. There was no cover on the box, and there was no number on the side. There were several fragments of video discs in it, and there were still black and red blood stains on the fragments.

"Ruan Xiaoshui, let me ask you, are all the movies of Leslie Cheung in the No. 19 column in the seventh row of the fifth large cabinet?"

Ruan Xiaoshui was surprised when he heard the words: "Brother Tian, ​​how do you know?"

"That's right." Tiantian dumped the pieces on the counter, moved his fingers, put them together, and glued them together, "Farewell My Concubine, this is the DVD numbered /23/2/10. "

During the day, without waiting for other people to ask questions, he continued: "Qi Zhou's understanding of the first half of the number is correct, as for the second half...have you noticed that none of these numbers exceeds 26?"

Everyone was stunned, and immediately nodded. Qi Zhou quickly responded: "26! 26! The number 26 can easily be associated with 26 English letters. If we follow the order of the English letters, then 2/23/2/10 means BWBJ , which happens to be the first letter of the pinyin of Farewell My Concubine."

Bai Tian smiled lightly: "Yes, actually I wasn't sure at first, so I asked Ruan Xiaoshui if all the movies in the No. It just confirmed this speculation."

The deciphering of this small code is actually very simple. He already had a preliminary idea when he checked the cabinets 1-4 during the day. The only thing he didn't expect was that the DVD box that Fang Mo rented was actually broken.

Naturally, it was impossible for the broken DVD to be put back in the cabinet, so it was sandwiched among other broken DVDs and thrown on the counter.

With all the people trying to find the right key card, who would have thought it was always under their noses?

Ruan Xiaoshui took the glued DVD, and the nine players walked to the elevator.

"Di—" With a faint red light flashing, the elevator door opened.

The elevator stops on the fifth floor.

As soon as the car door was opened, the strong smell of disinfectant filled the nose, and my heart sank when I saw the white eyes outside the elevator during the day.

The fifth floor is a hospital, to be precise, it should be a certain floor of the hospital.

"Wow, I hate going to the hospital since I was a child!" Ruan Xiaoshui cursed secretly.

It was already night, and it was exactly seven o'clock when I looked at my watch during the day. There were pale lights everywhere in the hospital. Like the second and fourth floors, this hospital looked old, and the decoration style and various medical equipment inside were old. It is the level of ten years ago.

The entire floor was empty, so quiet that it was scalp-numbing. The elevator was at the east end. When you came out, you turned right and there was a duty room. emergency department.

There is only one set of desks and chairs in the duty room. On the table are an enamel cup and a stainless steel thermos with red peony flowers, and an open newspaper next to it.

During the day, I reached out to take out the newspaper from the small window of the duty room. The newspaper is a local daily newspaper in Province Z. Like all local newspapers, the front page headlines must be about the country/economics/people/living, which take up a lot of space, and the rest are Some innocuous gossip.

However, on the back of the newspaper during the day, I still saw a piece of news about the size of dried tofu-a high school student in Xinyuan Middle School committed suicide due to excessive academic pressure!

He subconsciously glanced at the upper right-hand corner of the paper, where August 1998, 8 was written.

In his heart during the day, of course he would not think that the student who committed suicide would be Fang Mo. After all, Fang Mo also got a top score in science in the second year's college entrance examination, but both of them were students of Xinyuan Middle School, and they were in the same class. , is too coincidental...

Also, if he remembers correctly, the day Fang Mo went to the video store to rent Farewell My Concubine was August 1998, 8. Is there any connection between these two dates so close?

During the day, I couldn't help but think of the DVD that was broken into several pieces, with blood stains on it...

Things got more and more complicated. He felt a dull pain from the wound on the back of his head that hadn't fully healed, so he had to helplessly rub his eyes and put his doubts in his heart for the time being.

Opposite the duty room is a U-shaped nurse's station. There are few things on it. There are only a pot of withered plants that cannot be seen, a telephone and a desktop computer with a big butt/butt turned on.

Seeing the phone, the horrible memories in the video store flooded into everyone's minds, Qi Qi's face turned pale, Ruan Xiaoshui rolled his eyes, put the phone's microphone on the nurse's station platform, and said with a smile: "This way I can't make calls!"

During the day, I put my eyes on that computer, moved the mouse, opened an electronic document on the desktop called the medical record, and then used the search function of the document to search for Fang Mo's name.

The file was very large. At this time, the computer was installed with the Windows 95 system, and the running speed was extremely slow. After waiting for more than a minute, a dialog box with a big yellow exclamation mark jumped out: the content you were looking for could not be found!

"Hey, does this floor have nothing to do with that student named Fang Mo?" Ruan Xiaoshui asked in surprise.

Shaking his head during the day: "Not necessarily, maybe the system deliberately hid his information."

"Well, I want to go to the bathroom..." A weak voice suddenly sounded.

Everyone turned around and saw the high-speed rail driver with an embarrassed smile on his honest face, and a hint of grievance in his voice, "When I get nervous, I want to go to the bathroom, but I can't find it on the first few floors..."

"..."

Next to the duty room is the bathroom, men and women are separated, Ruan Xiaoshui really wanted to say that you would not go by yourself, but thinking that this is in the dungeon, and it is a very unlucky place like the hospital, so he guessed that Dai Bin probably was A person dare not go.

During the day, he thought for a while and said, "It's just a matter of time for everyone to go to the toilet."

"I'm not in a hurry, so I won't go." Xi Rong said with a tired expression, his brows were slightly frowned during the day, and he noticed that there was a trace of boredom in Xi Rong's fatigue, which seemed very strange.

Not far away, the train conductor asked the little girl in his arms in a low voice, and the latter shook his head dully. Now that Xi Rong said that she was not going to the toilet, he planned to hand the little girl over to her, and asked her to take a look at it temporarily.

Unexpectedly, the child burst into tears as soon as he was handed over to the other party. Probably because he cried too many times, his voice became hoarse, which was very pitiful.

Xi Rong snorted coldly, retracted her outstretched hands, lowered her head to fiddle with the shiny gold bracelet on her wrist, and ignored everyone.

"Let me come, I'm not in a hurry." Ruan Xiaoshui wiped his hands on the crumpled T-shirt.

The train conductor looked at him suspiciously, as if he didn't quite believe that he could take care of the child.

"Don't pull it down!" Ruan Xiaoshui seemed to be stabbed by his suspicious eyes, and suddenly became angry from embarrassment.

The train conductor looked at the others again, seeing that they had no intention of taking over the child, so he had to push her into Ruan Xiaoshui's hands.

Strange to say, the child didn't reject this little man who looked wretched and selfish, and let the other party roughly wipe away the tears on his face.

Soon several men came out of the bathroom one after another, counted them during the day, and asked in surprise, "Where's Dai Bin?"

"Don't you have diarrhea?" Ruan Xiaoshui asked the little girl to stand on the ground by himself, only holding her hand and said casually, "If something happens, he will definitely yell."

"Ah——" just as the words fell into the bathroom, the driver of the high-speed train screamed hoarsely.

"Ah bah, crow's mouth!" Ruan Xiaoshui slapped himself on the mouth lightly, followed by everyone pushing open the bathroom door and rushing in.
