The Secret Chamber of the Card Game

The interstellar passenger transport spacecraft soon left the gravitational circle of the capital star and entered the stage of stable space navigation.

A soft broadcast sound sounded in the cabin: "Passengers, our spaceship has started sailing at a constant speed. During the next journey, you can go to the lobby on the 2nd floor of the spaceship to buy all kinds of food by yourself. At the same time, the spaceship on the 3rd floor The entertainment center will be fully open 24 hours a day, and passengers who need to participate in various entertainment activities can make reservations in advance through the APP in the spaceship..."

It was the first time for everyone to take an interstellar spaceship. This spaceship is similar to a luxury cruise ship. Except for the rest cabin, other public areas have been transformed into food courts and entertainment centers.

If it wasn't for taking the prince and fleeing the capital star collectively this time, everyone could relax on the spaceship for two days.

But now, everyone has no interest in going out to play.

Shao Qingge opened the No. 3 suitcase he carried with him, took out a large amount of compressed food, and put it on the dining table for everyone to eat casually.Lu Jiuchuan unpacked a pack of compressed beef, stuffed a piece of beef into his mouth, and joked with a smile: "Mr. Shao is really well equipped, and he brought such a big box to eat."

For the convenience of movement, all of them were empty-handed, only Shao Qingge and Ye Qi brought three boxes of luggage.

Ye Qi leaned over mysteriously, and said in a low voice, "We experienced Zhou Chang once before. It was a copy of a cruise ship at sea. Boss Shao was very wealthy and took us to have a very expensive breakfast in a VIP restaurant. In terms of conversion, one Steamed stuffed buns cost a few hundred yuan. Mr. Shao said, you get what you pay for, and expensive ones are always better.”

Tang Ci asked with interest: "And then?"

Ye Qi glanced at Shao Qingge: "Then, like those who ate the free breakfast, we vomited and diarrhea, and got food poisoning! Hahaha."

Shao Qingge: "...you remember it really clearly."

Ye Qi finally stopped laughing, coughed lightly, and said seriously, "Ace of spades told us that spending money will still pay for sins. So, Mr. Shao learned his lesson and didn't want to eat on the interstellar spaceship. I went to the convenience store early in the morning and bought a whole box of sealed food."

Lu Jiuchuan and Tang Ci had expressions of "So that's it".

Shao Qingge: "..."

Regarding this dark history, Shao Qingge had nothing to defend, he patted Ye Qi on the shoulder lightly: "Is there anything wrong with being cautious? Be good, go cook a bag of noodles for Dad, don't forget that in this world I am It's your adoptive father, no big or small."

Ye Qi's ears turned red slightly, and he glared at him, with a resigned expression on his face, turned around to cook noodles for "father", and cooked a bowl for each of the other teammates by the way.

After everyone settled down for dinner, Xiao Lou suggested, "It's still a long time before the terminal, why don't we study those banknotes? Did Mr. Shao bring them?"

"Of course." Shao Qingge opened the No. 1 suitcase, and it was indeed filled with cash.

In order to prevent the banknotes from being moved in the process of dragging the suitcase and causing confusion, Shao Qingge stuffed white paper of similar thickness in the vacant positions in the suitcase. Therefore, the arrangement of banknotes in the suitcase is exactly the same as that of a one-meter-high safe .

"We put the banknotes in the original order, and found no other rules," Shao Qingge said.

"Let's take it apart and have a look." Xiao Lou took the first stack of banknotes in the upper left corner, and after untiing the white band that bound the banknotes, Xiao Lou spread out the 100 banknotes on the ground and checked them one by one.

The teammates also leaned over to watch carefully.

For comparison, Shao Qingge simply summoned the [ATM self-service teller machine] on the spot, took out a few more star coins, and handed out one to his teammates.

Everyone held the banknotes that Shao Qingge had just taken out in their left hands, and squatted next to the banknotes spread all over the floor by Xiao Lou, comparing the details bit by bit. This scene was like playing a game of "find faults, everyone".

Tang Ci concluded: "The patterns are all the same. On the front is the head of the founding emperor of the Luoke Empire, and on the back is the face value of 1000, uneven Braille, and the banknote number."

Yu Hanjiang suddenly said: "Look at the lower right corner of the banknote, the anti-counterfeit marks are different."

Among this group of people, Yu Hanjiang is undoubtedly the one with the best observation skills. After all, he is a criminal policeman. He has also encountered many counterfeit coins in the cases he solved before, and he is more sensitive to anti-counterfeiting signs.

In the interstellar era, few people would use banknotes. The identity card on the wrist is bound to the bank card, and payment can be made by scanning it directly.But banknotes are hard currency after all, and banks will definitely have reserves. Moreover, banknotes must be marked with anti-counterfeiting, otherwise the emergence of large-scale counterfeit currency will crush the market economy.

Hearing Yu Hanjiang's words, everyone turned the banknotes to the back, and Ye Qi quickly discovered this: "The color of the light is different? The banknotes left by Mr. Shao, the light of the anti-counterfeiting mark is a horizontally changing color, just from the ATM cash machine The banknotes that were taken out changed vertically?"

Yu Hanjiang nodded: "There will be light-changing ink on the banknotes to prevent copying and forgery. The anti-counterfeiting inks of the two versions of star coins are printed in different ways, so the angle of color change under the light will be different. Mr. Tang, please check it out. Has the empire made any announcements about the revision of star coins over the years?"

Tang Ci took out his portable optical computer and quickly told everyone the result: "There are four banknotes issued since the establishment of the empire. The third edition is in the safe, and the fourth edition of banknotes was issued in August 2975 , which has been used until now, is the version that was just taken out of the ATM cash machine."

Xiao Lou quickly realized the crux of the problem: "That is to say, the banknotes left by Mr. Shao are the third edition, and this edition stopped printing in August 2975. Starting from August, all the new edition banknotes will be issued. , want to take out 8 million old banknotes from the bank, to prove that he must have taken out these banknotes before August 8?"

After the new version of banknotes is issued in large quantities, the old version will stop printing, and it is impossible to withdraw the entire 750 million old version of cash from the bank.Then, the only explanation is that Shao Qingge's father had already withdrawn 750 million cash and put it in a safe before the new version of banknotes was issued.

The date of July 2975, 7 indicated by the placement of the coins coincided with the time when he withdrew the cash. At that time, the new version of banknotes had not yet been issued, so he naturally took out the old version.

Yu Hanjiang looked at Xiao Lou and analyzed: "This point also proves our speculation about the date. July 2975, 7 in the star calendar must be the time when the Noah's Ark project was first launched. Mr. Shao doesn't know why. For what reason, a large amount of banknotes were withdrawn from the bank when the plan was launched, and left to Shao Qingge as a clue."

He must have been uneasy, or had a bad premonition about this plan, so he planned ahead and left a clue in advance.

Xiao Lou suddenly asked: "Mr. Shao, do you remember when your father passed away?"

Shao Qingge thought for a while and said, "It should have been 18 years ago, shortly after the restart of the Noah's Ark project."

After finishing speaking, he glanced at Ye Qi again, and said: "Ye Qi's biological parents also died shortly after Ye Qi was born 18 years ago. According to the information, they died in a battle on the front line, but I always feel that something is wrong. It's not that simple. I saw Ye Qi's father's name in the signature of the Noah's Ark restart plan."

Ye Qi scratched his head and said, "I have no impression of my parents at all. I grew up in an orphanage since I was a child."

Shao Qingge frowned and pressed his temple, he suddenly remembered the reason why he adopted Ye Qi in the first place - that year, he went to the orphanage for charity and donated a sum of money to the orphanage.As the representative of the children, Ye Qi came up to present flowers to him. Shao Qingge, who was still very young at the time, felt familiar with the clear eyes of the child, so he adopted Ye Qi.

Shao Qingge looked at Ye Qi: "Ignoring all our past experiences, we didn't know each other in this secret room at first. I adopted you because you are Ye Bowen's son. I have met your biological father."

This passage was rather convoluted, but Ye Qi quickly understood: "It means that the fact that you are my adoptive father is not arbitrarily arranged, but involves some clues to the Noah's Ark plan back then? Your father, And my biological father, have participated in this plan? And you have seen my biological father?"

Shao Qingge nodded: "Yes, although I don't have a clear impression, your biological father must have come to my house and had a dispute with my father. I was very young at that time, so I didn't hear what they said, only heard them talking What is certain is that they all died accidentally during those two years, my father was in a car accident, and your parents died on the front line."

Xiao Lou frowned slightly: "Could it be that the death of your fathers was not an accident?"

Yu Hanjiang asked, "What about the list?"

Shao Qingge also took out his portable optical computer, and enlarged the downloaded Noah's Ark restart plan in front of everyone.

There are more than ten names on the signature page. In addition to the director of the investor Noah Medical Technology Company, there are also several important high-level officials from the Imperial Academy of Sciences and the Military Department...

Yu Hanjiang suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart. He looked at Tang Ci, who understood, and quickly typed these names into his optical brain to search, but the result of the query made Tang Ci's expression change.

He said in a deep voice: "Old Mr. Shao died in a car accident on August 2982, 8 in the star calendar; Major General Ye Bowen died in September of the same year; Qi Zhao, a professor of the Academy of Sciences, died of poisoning in the laboratory in November of the same year; Sudden heart attack died in November..."

Every time he pronounced a name, the faces of his teammates became ugly.

After he read the death news of 9 people in a row, Ye Qi couldn't help but widen his eyes: "Is it all dead?"

Tang Ci said: "There is only one left, Lin Yan's mother, Professor Zhang Shaohua."

Yu Hanjiang frowned: "Except for Professor Zhang, all other insiders were silenced 18 years ago. This is the case that Hearts needs to investigate in this secret room—we can't even find the dead body."

Investigate the case, there is a body, at least the cause of death and the time of death can be deduced.Only after arriving at the scene of the crime can we find all kinds of evidence and clues left by the suspect...

But now, the nine dead have become nine urns, buried in the cemetery.

The crime scene was completely destroyed.

A serial murder case without a corpse, or the case 18 years ago? !

Lu Jiuchuan held his forehead with a headache: "How do you check this?"

All eyes turned to Yu Hanjiang. The old case 18 years ago was much more difficult than sending everyone to the crime scene for autopsy and finding the murderer.

Yu Hanjiang thought about it carefully, and said: "This case cannot use the previous thinking to investigate the social relationship, grievances and causes of death of the deceased—no matter how they died, in the final analysis, they must be silenced. Therefore, we only need to start from the plan. Do it yourself, investigate those who are still alive, the secrets of the Noah's Ark project, and the forces behind it."

Ye Qi said: "Ms. Zhang Shaohua, Lin Yan's mother, whom Teacher Qu is investigating, is the only one alive in the autograph. Will she know some clues?"

Yu Hanjiang shook his head: "Since everyone else has been silenced, it is impossible for them to leave only this hidden danger. I speculate that Ms. Zhang is very likely to be hypnotized and cannot remember the past. The person who silenced her let her go because she It's General Lin's wife, maybe General Lin is protecting her, or maybe His Majesty has sold face to General Lin."

His Majesty?

Yu Hanjiang mentioned this person not abruptly. Although His Majesty is not on the list, this plan will definitely be related to His Majesty. Otherwise, how can we explain the duplicants of the princes in the palace?

Xiao Lou glanced at the star coins on the ground.

The color is similar to that of RMB, and 100 pink banknotes are laid on the ground in order.

In addition to the fact that the anti-counterfeiting mark is different from the current banknotes, which proves that this is the third edition of the star coin issued before 2975, are there any other clues on the banknotes?

He knelt down and carefully checked the front and back of the banknotes.

Suddenly, Xiao Lou said: "There is a problem with the serial number of the banknote."

Yu Hanjiang was startled, and came over and squatted beside Xiao Lou: "Number?"

Xiao Loudao: "A bank's self-service teller machine will not store so many banknotes. Large cash withdrawals need to be reserved in advance at the bank. For example, when we get engaged in our hometown, we usually need brand-new banknotes for the dowry gift. , The new banknotes taken out in this way have a rule, that is - consecutive numbers."

Yu Hanjiang's eyes lit up, and he looked carefully at the number area in the lower right corner on the back of the banknote.

The first G446805;

The second SABFD31;

The third G446806;

The fourth AMCR333;

The fifth G446807;

The sixth AEFPF13...

第1、3、5张所有奇数纸币都是连号；第2、4、6张所有偶数纸币都不连号。

Xiao Lou reclassified the banknotes spread on the ground, and explained: "The banknotes with consecutive numbers all start with G, and should be taken out from the bank by appointment; while the banknotes with no serial numbers and messy numbers should be Shao The old man specially found the clue banknotes inserted in the middle of this pile of banknotes."

After being classified by Xiao Lou, everyone looked at the banknotes on the ground—as expected.

There are a total of 100 banknotes in this stack. All odd-numbered banknotes are consecutively numbered, and even-numbered banknotes are all non-sequentially numbered, appearing alternately.Finally, 50 banknotes with consecutive numbers and 50 banknotes with clues and random numbers were screened out.

Excluding the interference of banknotes with serial numbers and only looking at the "clue banknotes" with messy numbers, a strange pattern can be found.

Xiao Loudao: "The numbers in the clue banknotes are only 1 and 3."

Everyone took a closer look and found that there were no other numbers from 50 to 0 in the 9 clue banknotes. They were all 1 and 3, the second 31, the fourth 333, the sixth 13, the eighth 1111...

Ye Qi looked bewildered: "What do 1 and 3 represent?"

Xiao Lou is good at mathematics, but he has only heard that the conversion between decimal and binary is 1 and 0, but he has never heard what 1 and 3 represent.

The room suddenly fell silent, obviously everyone was thinking.

Just when everyone was frowning and thinking, Shao Qingge suddenly stepped forward and said softly: "This is the Morse code."
