Chapter 223: A Group Photo
Translator: EndlessFantasv Translation Editor: EndlessFantasv Translation
The tape was not wide enough to cover the entire number keypad, and Zhou Guang did not have a pair of scissors with him, so he had to bite off the tape with his teeth.
[Zhou Guang’s s.e.xy even when he bites the tape.]
[He said in an interview that he loves to watch criminal investigation movies.
It seems that having a wide range of hobbies is really useful.]
[If it were me, I definitely wouldn’t be able to think of such a method. I might just try a few numbers by chance.]
He took off both pieces of tape and put them together. Under the light, he could clearly see the fingerprints on them.
However, he only saw a fingerprint on three numbers. There must be a repeated number, but he did not know which one it was.
“Zheng You, do you have any clues about the three numbers o, 2 and 5?”
Seeing that the time was right, Zheng You closed the doc.u.ment and went to the door of the princ.i.p.al’s office.
“0225, it should be this one.” She entered the pa.s.sword and the door opened. “I saw the princ.i.p.al’s birthday in the doc.u.ment just now, so I guessed it’s this.”
Zhou Guang did not suspect anything and followed her into the princ.i.p.al’s office to search for clues.
On the stylish mahogany desk was a group photo of a father and daughter. The girl was about 16 or 17 years old and was smiling brightly while the father looked kind.
Zhou Guang removed the photo and took a ballpoint pen and letter paper from the desk before placing them in his bag.
Zheng You walked to the file cabinet and took out a bunch of keys from the side. One of them should be able to open the lock of the stairs.
“I found the keys, let’s go downstairs.”
Zhou Guang glanced around the princ.i.p.al’s office and saw a group photo of a certain year’s outstanding graduates hanging on the wall. “Wait, let me take a look again.”
The girl in the first row who was standing next to the princ.i.p.al was the girl in the group photo. It was no wonder this photo was hung here.
Zhou Guang secretly noted down this detail and followed Zheng You to the stairs, ready to unlock the door.
Why were there six keys? This building was only five stories tall, though?
Zheng You was puzzled. She tried to unlock the door with one key after another, and finally succeeded on the fourth try.
“Youyou! Is that you, Youyou?”
Zheng You was annoyed when she heard the useless guy, Jing Shan, calling her. She did not know what he could do coming here.
When they went downstairs, they saw Bai Lin, Yan Ruo, Li Xuan, and Ye Xing together.
“How did you open the doors without the keys?” Zheng You’s face was filled with disbelief.
“Xiao Lin opened them… What? There are keys?” Li Xuan was confused. Xiao Lin had come here since she had finished searching this floor and was preparing to use the small wire to continue to forcefully unlock the lockpad, yet Zhou Guang and the others had actually found the keys after spending so much time upstairs?
“That saves some troubles. You’re very efficient, San-ge. How’s the search going?”
When Zhou Guang heard Bai Lin’s praise, he immediately gave Yan Ruo a smug look as if to say “See! Xiaolin complimented me! Will she praise you? Hmph-
[Zhou-ge, watch your image! Are you that happy to be praised by your sister in front of so many people?]
[Best Singer? He’s just a simp for his sister in secret.]
[He even tried to provoke Best Actor Yan, but the latter ignored him. Hahaha.]
“We’ve searched the third and fourth floors. There are some puzzles on the third floor. Since you’re here, let’s put them together,” Bai Lin said.
“Youyou, you’re amazing. You must’ve found the keys, right?”
“Of course, it’s just decrypting a pa.s.sword. It’s easy.” Zheng You raised her chin slightly, revealing the arrogance of a rich heiress.
Jing Shan quickly gave another round of praises.
The others heard this as well. Zhou Guang laughed and did not intend to argue with her.
Zheng You quickly followed Yan Ruo and immediately became a docile little lamb again. “But Yan-gege’s still stronger to me. You’re much faster than me in searching. ”
She left Jing Shan behind and did not notice that the man who had been beaming with joy just now was now full of desolation.
“Even though Best Actor Yan is amazing, our Xiao Lin isn’t bad either. Right, Xingxing?”
Ye Xing, who had been innocently pulled out by Li Xuan, was once again sandwiched between two people. No matter which side she chose, she could not afford to offend another party. She could only smile apologetically. “Oh, I think everyone’s smart and quick-witted. I’m the weakest one here.”
Bai Lin did not have time to care about this. She was thinking about the puzzle.
They were all made from pictures of people and were not in the common shapes of a puzzle but many triangles, which made the puzzle very difficult.
