In a long-lived lock left by he Meiying to Huasi, we found the words "drama, eight, eight". This is not a person's name or a place name, but a riddle that is difficult to guess. Although LAN Xiaoying and I thought the characters represented the old theater, we still had an argument.
My view is that the theater is a public place after all. Even if it is tightly hidden, it may be found. Another point is that the old theater will be torn down sooner or later. Isn't this secret going to disappear forever? What's the point of passing on this secret?
LAN Xiaoying put forward different views. In people's eyes at that time, the theater could not be demolished in a short time. Who could have thought that modern society is changing rapidly. In a short period of more than ten years, countless buildings have been demolished and high-rise buildings are everywhere? According to he Meiying's idea, the theater will be able to last for decades, even to the day when the flower shop dies. In her life, if she doesn't find the secret, she will disappear forever with her daughter's death.
This is not unreasonable, but what does the word "88" stand for? We thought for a long time and didn't guess what it meant. But I think these two words have no other meaning, just two numbers. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but brighten my eyes. I looked up and said to LAN Xiaoying, "it may be the seat number!"
She opened her beautiful eyes, thought a little, nodded happily, "you should be right!"
The flower shop asked mistily, "why is the seat number?"
LAN Xiaoying explained: "if the two eights only represent numbers, only the seat number can match all the numbers in the theater. The grandstand has only two floors and the building on the stage has only three floors. There is no way to find the corresponding number. "
Hua Si shook his head and said, "that's not true. I saw them tearing down the floor on the stage. There are hundreds of pieces. Why not the eighth piece? And the area of the theater. You can also find the eighth meter, or eighty-eight meters, and the eighth step or eighty-eight step... "
LAN Xiaoying and I were speechless. Although Huasi had a single mind, it was not unreasonable to put forward these. If we follow her logic, there will be countless hidden numbers. We really have to turn the theater upside down.
Ling Wei broke in and said, "when aunt was hiding a secret, she would not let others know, but as a woman, how could she have the strength to dig the ground and hide the secret below?"
Little girl, this is very important. I immediately agreed: "yes, this idea is very correct. Not only the concrete floor, but also the boards on the stage can not be pried open. And the chandelier on the roof. In my memory, it is an eight petal lamp. Your mother can't climb up at a height of more than ten meters. Then the most likely place to hide the secret is the seat! "
"But I still can't agree with you. My mother didn't have the strength to dig the ground and couldn't climb so high, but don't forget that the theater was still open and there were people on duty. Under what circumstances did she hide the secret in the seat?" Huasi seems to be getting smarter. The problem is very acute.
It's okay. I can think about it again. Since he Meiying can do it, I can guess. After thinking about it for a while, he said to Huasi, "your mother lives behind the theater. She must be familiar with the managers. One possibility is to go in without a performance and hide the secret in the seat while the manager goes upstairs. Another possibility is that she is also familiar with the ticket inspectors and entered the theater more than ten minutes in advance. At that time, there was no surveillance camera in the theater. Ten minutes is enough for hiding things. "
Huasi finally had nothing to say and urged us to go to the theater immediately. In fact, LAN Xiaoying and I can't wait to find out the secret. It's 7 a.m. So she asked Ling Wei to go upstairs to sleep. The flower dance shadow and Liu Xiaomi on the sofa were taken care of by the maid. The three of us went out to the theater.
I didn't sleep last night and haven't had dinner. Now I'm hungry. The car stopped outside the theater and saw a pancake fruit nearby. I got off and bought three. While eating, the three entered the gate of the theater, walked near the stage, took a flashlight and found the eighth row of seats.
Last night, those thugs hit by Yu Xinyue flew all over the sky. The eighth row of seats collapsed. Fortunately, seat No. 8 was well preserved. Now that I had finished eating, I took out a masonry cone and chiseled down the seat plate and backrest. Under the light, neither of the two boards was damaged, except for the faded words "No. 8 in row 8".
I cut off the board again. It was not made of solid wood. It was made of plywood, that is, three layers of boards stuck together. However, the three layers of boards were removed separately, and nothing was found.
Hua Si said with a flat mouth, "I know you must have guessed wrong. My mother can't remove the seat legs except for doing some hands and feet on the board?"
I frowned and said, "don't worry. Secrets can't be found casually. Otherwise, how can they be called secrets?"
LAN Xiaoying took a flashlight to look after her on the armrest and leg of the chair again. She suddenly found a clue and said according to the left armrest: "look, there are three words carved on it, the war of love!"
We can't help but be overjoyed. The presence of these three words here shows that our guess is absolutely right. The handrail is also wood, and the secret is likely to be hidden here.
The handrail was fixed on the cast iron structure with screws. I didn't bring a screwdriver. I only broke it. I chiseled it with a masonry cone and pried it down. Reverse the back of the armrest and clearly see a groove dug out with a knife, with a paper roll stuffed inside!
The three of us were so excited that I took out my tweezers and gently took out the paper roll inside. Hua Si reached out and opened it slowly under the light. The above is two lines of words written with pen. The font is beautiful. It is the same as the font on the stationery. It must be written by he Meiying.
These two lines of writing say: "the yellowish part of the cheongsam is an ancient tomb, which has been seen by him and revealed with baijiu. There is another secret hidden on the hem, but it needs to be smeared with ink. "
Sure enough, the invisible word method was used, which was a common secret hiding technique in the past. For example, I know a simple way to write words with things such as rice soup. After it is dry, there is nothing. It needs to be smeared with iodine to show its shape. But I checked the cheongsam. If there is any residual substance on it, it can't escape my hand feeling. Maybe another clever stealthy technique is needed, and Baijiu is needed to show it.
And another secret display method unexpectedly surprised us, using ink, which I couldn't figure out. What words are covered with ink and wool? Isn't there a second secret in the cheongsam? It's just to use this means to trick the people who covet the cheongsam?
