Chapter 61 The Murder Under the Maple Tree 2 Combination Lock

"Pei Feng, leave him a message and ask him to prepare 200,000 yuan. Don't regret what he said today."

The photographer's home is on the third floor of an old house on the outskirts of the city. It used to be a dormitory for a certain unit. There are four floors in total, and there are more than a dozen families living on each floor. Lin Jinghao and his party of four walked through the iron

Going up the stairs, passing through the corridor filled with debris, we finally arrived at the door of room number 310.

This is a home, rather than a simple single dormitory. The door is locked, and when you open the door, it is a single room. There is no kitchen or toilet. The living room is the entire room. It can be said that it is clear at a glance. There is light in the room.

There is no switch for the lights. There are white walls on all sides, and a projection is hung on the wall on the left.

, there are two large speakers on the left and right sides of the floor, and a small speaker in the middle. The projector hanging in the center of the room is still rotating. There is a sofa on the right wall, and a thin quilt is folded on the sofa.

Looking along the wall, there are two mini speakers hanging at the two corners of the top of the wall. This is everything in the room.

"I didn't realize it, but this photographer is also an enthusiast?" Pei Feng sighed.

"What enthusiast?" Lin Jinghao asked.

"Audiophile is the common name for 'audio equipment enthusiasts'. It is said that top audiophiles, in order to obtain better effects, just put up a set of audio equipment at home with nothing else. It's true."

"Pei Feng, let me see if you have a fever too. What's the difference between this and a family with four walls?" Gu Qing frowned as soon as he came in.

"Why do you have so little money? His equipment starts at at least 100,000 yuan, which is not cheap."

"Okay, stop looking at the stereo and let's see if there are any clues to solve the case?" Xia Mingyue expressed that she was not very interested in these 'mundane' things.

"Look at this projection, is it a photo?" The lights were on in the room, and the picture on the projection was blurry, but it felt like a portrait.

"The projection light must be turned off to see clearly, but there is no switch in this room." Xia Mingyue said.

"Look what's written on it?" Pei Feng found a line of writing on the main speaker.

"The switch is in the safe. Let's see if you can open it."

"There is a safe in this room!" Gu Qing exclaimed after looking at it.

Soon I found a small silver-gray safe built into the wall on the wall behind the sofa.

"Password? We are asked to find the password." Gu Qing looked at the combination lock on the safe and shouted excitedly.

The whole room was clear at a glance. Where was the password? Several people searched every place in the room and finally found a business card under the sofa. The name on the business card was a cultural media company, with the company's phone number underneath.

"Lin Suo, the password isn't just the phone number, is it?" Pei Feng reminded.

"Check this company. There's something wrong with this phone number. It's only six digits. It might be a tip."

"Whatever, let's try it first." Gu Qing said as he followed the numbers on the phone number and started pressing the code lock.

"Lin Suo, this company does not exist." While Pei Feng replied to Lin Jinghao, Gu Qing had already finished pressing the numbers.

"Wrong password." When the safe reported the error, the red light also began to flash.

"Isn't it shown in the movie that if you sprinkle ashes on the keyboard, you can see that those keys are frequently used?"

"Then go find Hui." Lin Jinghao said nothing to Pei Feng's suggestion. He glanced at Xia Mingyue, who also remained silent. Gu Qing became anxious first.

Pei Feng went out, and Lin Jinghao began to think.

'It seems that the challenger has already entered this house, and he may have put the remote control in the safe. Since the challenger set up the situation in this way, it is probably impossible to find other traces in the room. Clean the house

It's so clean, why is there only one business card left unprocessed?'

Lin Jinghao picked up the business card again. This was a business card that looked extremely ordinary on the surface. 'Why do you want to leave a business card with a company and a phone number that don't exist? Is this trying to remind me of some information?'

"Gu Qing, go find some water." Lin Jinghao seemed to have remembered something. Since this challenger wants to challenge himself, he must have understood himself thoroughly.

‘Could this be an invisible business card?’ Lin Jinghao thought of Xiao Fu in the mirror.

Pei Feng came back, and he didn't know where he borrowed some flour. He carefully picked up a small handful and sprinkled it on the keypad of the password lock. Unfortunately, as Lin Jinghao expected, the keypad had clearly been

After cleaning, no trace of use can be seen at all.

"Lin Suo, the water is here." Gu Qing walked in with a basin of water.

"Put it down quickly," Xia Mingyue motioned to her to put the basin on the ground. Then, she picked up the business card and gently placed it in the water.

"Xia Mingyue, what are you doing?" Seeing Xia Mingyue throw the business card into the water, Gu Qing couldn't help but asked in confusion.

"Didn't you ask me if I had any contact with Xia Mingyue when I returned to my hometown? You will see it soon." Xia Mingyue knew him well, Lin Jinghao said behind him with a smile.

As the business card was soaked with water, a line of words appeared below the phone, 'The password is six digits.'

"Lin Suo, there are really words coming out." Gu Qing saw the words appearing and shouted excitedly.

"We have all forgotten that the deceased was a photographer. For photographers, development is a must-learn course for them," Xia Mingyue said.

Although there was a new hint, Lin Jinghao was still too excited, because this hint only told him a fact that he had basically guessed. For him, it could be said that it was just solving a proof problem.

"Six digits? Could it be the birthday of the deceased?" Pei Feng was the first to express his thoughts.

"What's his birthday?" Lin Jinghao thought it would not be that simple, but if you don't try everything, how can you know whether it is right or wrong?

"On November 12, 1985, try 851112," Pei Feng said while checking the information.

"Wrong password." The safe reported an error again. This time the red light not only flashed, but also beeped.

"Today's date, house number," Pei Feng muttered to himself. The wrong password forced him to think carefully. These are the simplest ways for a person to set a password.

"It's not that simple. If the challenger put this remote control in, then he should have set the password of the safe himself. He should not use anything related to the deceased." Lin Jinghao looked at Pei Feng there.

, and looking eager to give it a try, he finally expressed his thoughts.

"But, we don't know who this challenger is? How can we find the password related to him?"

"Yes, Suo Lin, what should I do? If it doesn't work, just pry it open." Pei Feng's bold idea earned Gu Qing a look of contempt.

"Don't worry, let me think about it again." Lin Jinghao smiled. He didn't want to smash open the safe in front of him with a hammer. However, since he accepted the challenge from others, he seemed to be imprisoned by an invisible shackles.

Now, those things that were originally 'practical' are no longer a concern for him.

"Try my birthday." Lin Jinghao said. Since this challenger is targeting himself, it is possible to use numbers related to himself.

"890606." Before Lin Jinghao had time to announce his birthday, Gu Qing had already rushed to say it.

"Why do you remember my birthday?" Lin Jinghao looked at Gu Qing and asked in confusion.

"Who in the office doesn't know this? Ah, Pei Feng." When Lin Jinghao questioned her, Gu Qing's face turned red, and she quickly said to Pei Feng.

"I, I don't know Lin Suo's birthday." Pei Feng blinked and said with a stunned look on his face.

"Pei Feng, today I finally understand why you are single. You are really single on your own merit." Xia Mingyue stood up.

"Ah..." Seeing that Gu Qing was anxious, Pei Feng opened his mouth and didn't know what to say.

"Try pressing 890606 first." Lin Jinghao saw Pei Feng's embarrassed look and could only change his words.

"Wrong password. You have pressed the wrong password three times today. Sorry, the password will be temporarily invalid for an hour." This time the safe also issued a red alarm while broadcasting the voice.

As the alarm sounded, a group of people immediately surrounded the door.

"The police are handling the case, the police are handling the case." Seeing that the door was surrounded by a group of neighbors holding "guys", Pei Feng quickly took out his ID.

"We thought there were thieves coming." Seeing three policemen in police uniforms, the crowd dispersed.

"The security here is pretty good." Lin Jinghao sighed sincerely as he watched the crowd disperse.

"Hey, Suo Lin, you said that when the challenger came in, didn't he disturb these good neighbors at all? Could it be that when he came in, the safe was open?" Gu Qing put forward her idea.

"Yes, unless this person is a master at picking locks and can even open safes." Pei Feng agreed.

"Let's take a break first and then think about it carefully." Lin Jinghao knew very well that he had met a real opponent this time, maybe a person, maybe a group of people...

The four of them closed the door and went downstairs. Downstairs was an old-fashioned small street. It was not as prosperous as the city center, but there was a strong human touch everywhere.
