It has always been his strength to employ people long-term, obtain the most information with the least effort and the most reasonable personnel allocation, but facing such a large area alone inevitably makes him anxious. If you do it yourself and only ask the testimony of one or two people, there will always be something missing.

Ji Rusong has never been a supporter of the theory of luck. In his opinion, all achievements are obtained through hard work, and the goddess of luck will not always favor the same person forever, but at this time he somewhat hopes to be favored by the goddess of luck.

The land is big and the time is short, and one-twelfth of the only 24 hours has passed, but he has not even found the second clue. It is unknown how many tricky subjects will be waiting for him to solve.

After working tirelessly for two hours, Ji Rusong's legs felt a little sore, so he sat by a flower bed for a short rest.

At this moment, Goddess of Luck seemed to have heard Ji Rusong's voice. Three minutes after he sat down, a man dressed as a property security guard suddenly appeared in Ji Rusong's sight.

The security guard hurriedly ran towards him, and when the other party approached and saw his face clearly, Ji Rusong felt that he was not one of the security guards he had questioned just now, but the uniform looked familiar.

Maybe things can really make progress, Ji Rusong thought.

"Are you the police officer who was looking for the tall man just now?" The security guard stood still in front of Ji Rusong, and asked in an almost affirmative tone.

"It's me, are you the security guard of the XX community just now?"

"Yes, when you came to ask just now, I happened to be on the second night patrol, so I missed it. After I came back, my colleague said that the police were calling, so I hurried over. I have something to report, about our community."

There is a play!

"We can talk while walking." Saying that, Ji Rusong didn't take a rest, and walked towards the community where the security guard was.

It turned out that the security guard discovered the anomaly in the early nine o'clock, that is, during his first night patrol. At that time, he saw two unfamiliar faces wandering in the community, and because one of them was a tall man, he was particularly conspicuous. , so the security guard took another look, but the two of them were just chatting and laughing on the road in the community, so the security guard didn't pay too much attention to their actions at the time.

And when he finished his rounds and returned to a certain flower bed, he unexpectedly found that a corner of the soil in the flower bed had risen up at some point, and the turf on it was bald, which was obviously the trace of being excavated!

"I immediately took a shovel and dug."

Ji Rusong suddenly became excited: "What did you dig?"

"Two pieces of paper, exactly the same." As he said that, the security guard took out two crumpled and dirty pieces of torn paper from his pocket, "I don't quite understand what's written on it, it's like a threatening letter, but there's no evidence for me. I didn’t dare to call the police casually, but luckily you came.”

Ji Rusong took the paper, and it was exactly the same as what the security guard said. It was probably prepared for him and Wei Xinlin respectively. He took one of the papers and glanced at the street light, and saw that it clearly said "I have prepared two pieces of paper." The same thing, after taking it back to the original, each person can only take one."

Ji Rusong smiled after reading the note: "Did you continue to dig down?"

The security guard shook his head.

"take me."

2:02 AM

Ji Rusong dug a hard object deeper in the same pit where the security guard found the note. He carefully opened the soil there and found two Rubik's cubes wrapped in transparent evidence bags.

Yes, the educational toy Rubik's Cube, the moment Ji Rusong dug it out ecstatically, it seemed that Ji Rusong was poured cold water on his head. He thought he had made a mistake, but the transparent evidence bag outside was obviously something commonly used by the police... …

Those are two messed up Rubik's Cubes, and on each face of the Rubik's Cube, there are black handwritings written by people with a pen. When they are connected, they are likely to show the text of the next location, but as for the words written on it What word? It seems that Ji Rusong will not be able to see it unless the Rubik's Cube is returned to its original shape.

Rubik's cube is easy to turn around, but difficult to turn back. Ji Rusong is so old, he only played with this thing in elementary school, and he has never succeeded. Now that the puzzle is related to the Rubik's cube, he can only bite the bullet and play with it. I'm back.

After burying the Rubik's Cube belonging to Wei Xinlin, Ji Rusong found a nearby teahouse that was open all night, ordered a pot of tea, and concentrated on studying Li Minqi's Rubik's Cube.

3:19 AM

Ji Rusong spent 45 minutes studying the solution of the Rubik's Cube. He even fiddled with things with one hand, and at the same time checked the method on the Internet with his mobile phone. After 45 minutes, there was no result.

Frustrated, he threw things on the table, resting his chin and thinking about countermeasures.

Going on like this is not the way to go, this kind of thing may be completely untied for some skilled people in a few minutes, but it may take a long time for a layman to fully get started.

After calming down and thinking for a while, Ji Rusong suddenly found that he seemed to have fallen into a trap of thinking.

Because the way the other party gave the puzzle was to use the Rubik's Cube, he habitually used the existing Rubik's Cube tools to solve the puzzle, and subconsciously felt that only the Rubik's Cube could be used to solve the puzzle, but what he has to do now is to put the color on each color. Is it just a combination of patterns?Then he only needs to carefully trace the pattern to make a puzzle. Why should he go far away and study the Rubik's Cube, something he is not familiar with at all?

Ji Rusong shook his head and smiled self-deprecatingly, Li Minqi really got him involved, and hoped that his opponent would discover this later than him.

Taking out the ballpoint pen, notebook and measuring tape that he carries with him at all times, Ji Rusong carefully traced the patterns of each small square of the Rubik's Cube, trying to make them as similar as possible and in equal proportions, assigning different colors to different papers Finally, I borrowed a pair of scissors from the owner of the teahouse, and carefully cut out each pattern.

He did these things very carefully, because even if the drawing is wrong or a single detail is damaged, the picture will not fit together, and the previous work may fall short. Therefore, although Ji Rusong is concerned about the progress of the opponent, he is always on hand. Don't take it slow.

4:14 AM

Ji Rusong finally stitched together the patterns of several colors, but he found that the six faces are not composed of text information as he guessed at the beginning, but six pictures composed of straight lines, broken lines and arcs, quite abstract .

Ji Rusong drew six collaged pictures in equal proportions in his notebook, and continued to study whether they could be spliced ​​together.

This job was much easier than expected. He completed the stitching in less than 10 minutes. Six abstract drawings with only lines were stitched together to form a simple sketch of a certain building group in the city!And one of the buildings was marked with a scrawled asterisk, obviously it was the destination this time!

After careful identification, Ji Rusong came to the conclusion that this is a well-known hotel chain building!He smiled gratifiedly, thankfully Li Minqi painted the landmark blocks of City S, otherwise, with such a simple and scribbled style of painting, he would have to look up many photos and maps to find them, and the places where he can look up information are usually in the It's only open from 8 to 10 in the morning.

The next target is the hotel chain marked with an asterisk!

4:21 AM

"Where did you say they were?" Xie Chengyin collapsed on his own bed, talking to his best friend on the other bed.

He was so sleepy that his upper and lower eyelids were almost glued together. Playing chess with Li Minqi was meaningless. There was no confrontation. The outcome was one-sided. Xie Chengyin was so bored that he fell asleep. They went online for a while later. In the end, they fell on their respective beds, chatting and waiting for others.

"I'm sure I'm still working on my Rubik's Cube. It can't be solved so quickly." Li Minqi's mind was full of sleep, "Just let me sleep for a while."

"I think they are coming soon. Your thinking trap must have been seen through long ago, and the last puzzle will not trouble them."

Li Minqi jumped up from the bed suddenly and looked at his old friend inexplicably: "What trap? What kind of thinking pattern?"

"Rubik's Cube, don't you want them to spend a little time on turning the Rubik's Cube, and finally figure out another way to solve it?"

Li Minqi smirked, why didn't he remember that he had come up with such a profound double-solution puzzle: "Let me interrupt... Besides using the Rubik's Cube to solve it, what else can I do...? I may not be able to find them if I hug them." Ideas for questions."

Xie Chengyin looked at Li Minqi with eyes like looking at a freak. He thought that the puzzle of his best friend was quite interesting, but it turned out to be wrong. It seems that the IQ of his best friend should never be overestimated. The protein absorbed by Li Minqi is used to grow up. The body is broken, and only a very small part is allocated to the intellectual development of the brain. No wonder he has been clamoring to sleep. It turns out that he really came with the idea that Ji Rusong and the others couldn't get rid of it for more than ten hours.

"Tell me." The person despised by his best friend asked unwillingly, "Is there really another way?"

"Yes, you just need to disassemble the Rubik's Cube. It's just that several sides cannot be laid flat, and it's a bit inconvenient to restore," Xie Chengyin said, "but it's not a problem at all after drawing it."

"what……"

Li Minqi was completely despised by Xie Chengyin.

4:39 AM

Ji Rusong walked a lot, finally stopped a taxi on a relatively large main road, and hurried to the hotel.

After getting out of the taxi, Ji Rusong pushed open the door of the hotel, and the female staff at the front desk was dozing off.

Ji Rusong knocked on the table, she woke up immediately,
