Chapter 38 The Mystery of the Diary

“Besides the butterfly bookmark, are there any other clues?” Zhou Ziheng’s voice came from over there, “If there are only three known numbers in a number sequence, it may not be correct.”

That’s right. Xia Xiqing looked around and found a delicate and beautiful conch next to the books. There were several pictures posted on the wall above the desk. One was a photographic close-up of sunflowers, and the other was Leonardo da Vinci’s famous painting “Vitruvian Man” that Xia Xiqing was so familiar with.

These seemingly unrelated things caught Xia Xiqing’s attention. He stared at the wall and suddenly heard Zhou Ziheng’s voice.

“Why haven’t you spoken? What are you doing?”

“Looking at a man’s nude painting,” Xia Xiqing’s eyes were still fixed on the portrait on the wall, and he answered his question seriously, but Zhou Ziheng seemed to be choked, coughing non-stop, and after a while he stammered again, “Oh, I, there is one on the wall here too?”

Xia Xiqing was surprised. He tried to describe it to Zhou Ziheng, “A man with long curly hair stands with his legs together, his hands and feet just on a circumscribed square, and his legs and arms spread out, standing on a circumscribed circle. Is this a painting?”

“Yes.”

This is definitely not a coincidence, their rooms are so similar.

“Does this painting have any significance?” Although Zhou Ziheng has seen this painting many times, he really doesn’t have much attainment in art, so he can only consult experts in this field.

Xia Xiqing touched the tip of his chin, “It means so much. This painting is a sketch illustration drawn by Leonardo da Vinci for the ancient Roman architect Vitruvius’s “Ten Books on Architecture”. Vitruvius once praised the golden ratio in his book, which also inspired Da Vinci to draw this human proportion sketch. The male in it is also considered by the world to be synonymous with perfect proportions…”

As he spoke, Xia Xiqing suddenly stopped and said, “Wait a minute.”

He picked up the conch on the table, turned his head and looked at the close-up photo of the sunflower, looking at the distribution and arrangement of the full seed particles inside.

There is also the famous “Vitruvian Man”.

I see.

“I understand, it’s the golden section sequence.” Xia Xi calmly sat back on his chair, “The spiral of the conch, the arrangement of sunflower seeds, and this painting are all the golden section.”

At this time, the fourth number calculated by Zhou Ziheng was also verified. “The golden section sequence is the Fibonacci sequence, right? It seems that I got it right. I just found out that 987 is exactly equal to 377 plus 610, so I guessed that the last one would be 610 plus 987, which is equal to 1597. I didn’t expect it to be true.”

“So the he clue is just a reminder.” Xia Xiqing put the conch down, “Please enter the password and try.”

Zhou Ziheng snorted, and from Xia Xiqing’s room, he heard the clicking sound of entering the four-digit password. Less than two seconds later, he heard a mechanical voice prompting “Password successful.”

After struggling for a long time, I finally untied one, although it was not from my room.Xia Xiqing was waiting for the good news of success, but Zhou Ziheng replied, “The password is correct, but I can’t open the drawer.”

“How is it possible…” Although Xia Xiqing knew that he and he were not in the same room, and there was no password lock at all, he subconsciously pulled the drawer on his side when he heard Zhou Ziheng say that it couldn’t be opened.

I didn’t expect it to actually open…

This is too weird. Xia Xiqing’s tone was full of disbelief, “It’s so weird. After you entered the correct password, my drawer can be opened.”

Who knows the reversal doesn’t stop there.

Zhou Ziheng then replied, “My drawers can be opened now. Weird.”

Hearing Zhou Ziheng’s muttering to himself, Xia Xiqing thought of his frowning expression and couldn’t help laughing, “Maybe you were too weak just now.”

“It’s impossible. It really couldn’t be opened just now.”

Maybe it’s a problem with the program team. They are all artificial props, so it’s understandable that they have some flaws.

“Don’t worry about it, let’s see what’s inside first.”

The first thing Xia Xiqing saw when he lowered his head to check the drawer was a photo of a couple holding hands in front of the beach. The photo was carefully put into a beautiful frame.

Based on this photo, it is inferred that the owner of the bedroom has a girlfriend.

But why should such photos be stuffed in a drawer?Xia Xiqing felt that this was unreasonable, but he also knew very well that he couldn’t think too much at this time, so he put the photo frame casually on the table and continued to look through other things in the drawer.

“What did you find?” Zhou Ziheng asked at the other end.

Xia Xiqing casually replied to the photo frame, and then saw a clue that seemed to be more effective, “I found a notebook, it seems to be…” He flipped through it and found that the date was written on it, and there were some brief records, “Diary?”

“I also saw a diary, but there was no photo album.” Zhou Ziheng continued to exchange the information he had, “There is also a birthday card with a sentence written on it.”

Just as Zhou Ziheng was listing the clues he had obtained, Xia Xiqing had already taken the lead in opening the birthday card and read out the words on it.

“The moment I met you was the beginning of the Big Bang. Every particle left me and rushed towards you. After that smallest moment, the universe was truly born.”

After reading it in one breath, Xia Xiqing suddenly realized that this was a love story between a couple.The atmosphere became a little awkward. Xia Xiqing didn’t know what to say. It was like this. He could only blame himself for speaking too quickly and couldn’t blame others.

“Ahem, what about that? Are all you science students so good at flirting?” In order to ease the embarrassment, Xia Xiqing asked in a superfluous way.

The more panicked a person is, the easier it is to say the wrong thing. This sentence is really a wise saying.Xia Xiqing, who had just finished asking the question, immediately thought of the [Tyndale effect] that Zhou Ziheng took on the plane.

Oops, Zhou Ziheng must have misunderstood that he was teasing him. In fact, he didn’t want to bring the topic to this aspect at all.

I originally thought Zhou Ziheng couldn’t speak, but who knew he actually answered.

“It depends on who is right.”

Zhou Ziheng’s voice didn’t sound embarrassed at all, but rather calm. This made Xia Xiqing lose face. From beginning to end, he was the only one who felt embarrassed.Xia Xiqing, who was looking at the embarrassment, completely ignored Zhou Ziheng’s overtones and did not realize at all that he was “who” Zhou Ziheng said.

“Ah, the birthday on this card is October 23rd. I think this clue may be useful later.” In order to preserve his “victorious” dignity in front of this innocent little wolfdog, Xia Xiqing changed the topic very abruptly. Zhou Ziheng also noticed that he was unnatural, but heThe frequency could never be adjusted to that of Xia Xiqing. She just felt that her private words made Xia Xiqing feel pressured. Changing the topic was a disguised form of polite refusal.

Both of them went around in circles without even realizing it.

While putting down the birthday card, Xia Xiqing once again focused on the previous notebook. It was a slightly old diary. The edges of the diary were frayed and the corners were warped. It seemed that it had been used for a long time.With this in mind, Xia Xiqing turned to the first page.

“Let me take a look at this diary.” Xia Xiqing explained to Zhou Ziheng through the radio, and then focused on the diary.

[It was sunny on November 11, 2014]

[I originally thought this was my hardest day.A lonely young man who broke his leg spent Singles Day alone in a hospital ward.Unexpectedly, a new tenant came to this double ward, and she was a super cute girl. She had a pair of rabbit teeth when she smiled, like a little rabbit, so cute.]

It’s this boy’s diary… Xia Xiqing flipped through it quickly and stopped when he reached a certain page.

“Tsk, it took more than six months to catch up…” He looked at the page with the date [May 20, 2015] and couldn’t help but mutter to himself.

“Have you succeeded?”

Xia Xiqing heard Zhou Ziheng’s question, and heard the sound of turning pages from the other end, thinking that he must not have seen the back yet, “You are reading too slowly.” After saying that, he scribbled back and accidentally saw one page of the diary that read: “She is hospitalized again. I hope the operation goes well and there are no more problems.”]

This girl has been hospitalized repeatedly, so she must have a serious illness.

He suddenly thought of the book on the desk just now.

“The disease his girlfriend has is probably the one in the third book… hypoplastic left heart syndrome. This disease seems to be a congenital heart disease.” Xia Xiqing flipped through the previous book, trying to find some useful information in it.

“This radio is a gift from a girl to him.” Zhou Ziheng suddenly said, “Did you see it?”

“Let me take a look.” Xia Xiqing turned back and turned to the page Zhou Ziheng mentioned.

[It was sunny on May 20, 2016]

[She gave me an antique today, a radio!She said that this radio was bought by her grandpa when he was young and he saved a lot of money to buy it for her grandma to propose. When she was a child, she would lie next to the radio and listen to stories every day. I can still imagine what that little bunny looked like. Alas, it would be great if I could really travel through time. I want to go back and see what she looked like when she was a child.]

“It turns out that this radio is a prop with a story.” Xia Xiqing smiled, “Isn’t this old antique still going to witness the marriage of he and his wife? He is a three-generation veteran.”

“No.” Zhou Ziheng calmly rejected Xia Xiqing’s joke, “There is something wrong with our relationship.”

“…What?”

“You turn back and count down a few pages.”

Xia Xiqing followed Zhou Ziheng’s prompts and turned to the last few cards.

[It will be cloudy on May 13, 2019]

[I had a fight with her today. It feels like we haven’t had a good communication with each other for a long time. I really don’t understand why we have come to this point.Does time really make everything go bad?]

Seeing this sentence, Xia Xiqing suddenly fell silent. Such stories of crazy men and women emerging one after another every day. They were always beautiful at the beginning. However, as time went by, friction, conflicts, jealousy, resentment, and other negative emotions began to breed and grow wildly until they swallowed up the feelings between the two, and the faces that once looked at each other so much became hateful.

So why start.

The most stable and harmless relationship in the world is no relationship.

This realistic love story brought Xia Xiqing’s mood to a low point. He flipped through the next few pages at will, using this method to cover up his inner turmoil until his fingers stopped on the last page.

[Heavy rain on May 20, 2019]

[Why should I turn off my phone? Even if I get angry after being misunderstood, I shouldn’t turn off my phone. If I don’t turn off my phone, she won’t faint from emotion.Emergency contact… This card is so ironic, the only time I used it I actually cut off the contact.I should be the one who dies.]

“The girl is dead…” Xia Xiqing did not expect such an ending, “She died of a heart attack.”

“Died…” Zhou Ziheng seemed to have something to say, but he paused and asked after a while, “So he died because there was no time to save him?”

“Yeah.” Xia Xiqing put the diary back on the table. He had long passed the age of being moved by such love stories. What he was thinking about now was what the purpose of this diary was.Judging from the arrangement of the secret room script in the last issue, every prop in the room does not exist for no reason. Their functions can be roughly divided into two categories. One is to provide clues for passwords. However, there are too many dates in the diary. Without the cooperation of other clues, it should be impossible to derive the password.

Another function is that it is related to the secret room plot, or to the killer, but this is even more unreasonable. So far, this story is just a love story, and has no similarity with the suspense murder case in the previous issue.

So what should be the identity of the killer in this issue?

Xia Xiqing, who was deep in thought, frowned. There was nothing else in the drawer. He slowly closed it, and his eyes fell on the photo frame that he had taken out before and was placed upside down on the table.

Only then did he realize that there was a sentence written on the back of the photo frame.

[Return it to its correct location.]

Correct location?

This coincides with Xia Xiqing’s idea when he first saw the photo frame. Things like photo frames should be placed on the desktop, not in the drawer.If you connect the information about the quarrel between the male protagonist and the female protagonist, it can be explained.

Xia Xiqing picked up the photo frame.

Where should it be placed?

“Do you really not have a photo frame over there? On the table? Or somewhere else.” Without any prompt information, Xia Xiqing had to confirm with Zhou Ziheng again. After all, their rooms have so many similarities, maybe the photo frame has been fixed somewhere in his room.

“No, I didn’t find any photo frame.” Zhou Ziheng’s voice was very sure.

At this moment, Xia Xiqing suddenly discovered that there was a palm-sized rectangular groove on the right side of the desktop in the upper right corner of the desktop.He lowered his head and looked at the edge of the photo frame in his hand, and a strange idea suddenly came to his mind.

Could it be that…

He tried to place the photo frame in the groove in the upper right corner. Just as he thought, the photo frame and the bracket were embedded exactly!

“I found the right position.” Xia Xiqing breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that these grooves were useful. Fortunately, he felt something was wrong as soon as he came in.

At this moment, the desk lamp turned on automatically without warning.

But that’s not the weirdest thing.What he really found horrifying to think about was Zhou Ziheng’s next sentence.

“The photo frame has appeared.” Zhou Ziheng’s voice was full of surprise, and he even couldn’t believe it. “Do you know how it came out? Like a mechanism, a part of the desktop opened, and the photo frame was pushed up from the inside and stood on the upper right corner of the desk.”

“What did you say?”
