Chapter 173 Final Conclusion
The essence of a code letter is just to modify and replace the information to achieve the purpose of making it unrecognizable to others.
Simple ones are like the more popular acrostic poems;
to make it more difficult, there is the Caesar cipher;
and then there are the code books used by telegraph machines;
and the most extreme, the computer passwords used by computers that symbolize the pinnacle of human technological creation.
These things can all be covered by the essence of code letters.
But let’s talk about what they have in common.
--law.
To be precise, it uses rules set in advance to dig out the prefixes in poems, the sequence changes of Caesar's encryption, the Morse code of telegraph machines, and the cryptographic algorithms of computers that the expresser really wants to express. .
In any case, these passwords follow a certain pattern of their own.
Or a codebook that can correctly decipher the true content. So what is the codebook for the
coded letter in your hand ? Thinking of this, Ronald turned his eyes to the "Burrenwich Almanac - 37" on the bookshelf nearby. The thick book was sandwiched between the surrounding books, lying quietly on the bookshelf. The same as before when Ronald cracked the password. There is no difference at all. When he first cracked the coded letter, Ronald only used the yearbook as a reference book and put it back into its original place after use. But things are probably a little different now. With this thought in his mind, Ronald stood up and walked to the bookshelf to take down the yearbook. Turning with his fingertips, he quickly turned to page 687 again. This time, unlike the precise search last time, Ronald read the contents of the yearbook carefully. However, the result was a pity. ——Still nothing gained. On page 687 of this yearbook, the main content of the record is concise and clear. Basically, they were all trivial events in Burrenwich at the end of the winter of the previous year, such as the famous robber scheduled to be publicly hanged in February next year, the smooth progress of the maintenance work on the Joise Forest Railway, and the opening of the New Era Theater in the city. Luo Nader read it line by line. There really wasn't anything worthy of his attention. There are only so many things involved in a city's almanac. It's either the birth and death records of famous people, or some superficial specific events. There is really no one who can stand up to this mysterious force. Oh, right! There is a familiar word. Regarding the preparations for the hanging, the execution order was also announced by the warden. Among them, Bach Klitchens's name, Ronald, was firmly remembered. But this. It also has nothing to do with mysterious forces. After all, it couldn't be the warden himself who revealed the news to Ronald. He was a traitor, right? This is not even possible from a logical or emotional perspective. "." "Isn't it the content of this page?" He stood in front of the bookshelf and thought for a few seconds. Ronald confirmed that he had memorized the general content of the page, and then turned the yearbook to the cover and title page and looked at it carefully. Since there is no information on this page of the code letter, let's focus on the entire yearbook. So after flipping through it, Ronald finally remembered a name. ——Elva Sherwood. This is the editor-in-chief of the yearbook in the hands of Ronald. Because there was a character introduction on the title page, he was sure that Mr. Elva Sherwood was not young this year and was also a highly respected scholar in the country of Greed. As the author of the yearbook, he is currently the most suspect. If you want to investigate. This guy is the right place to start. Silently writing down the information, Ronald flipped through the book in his hand again. After confirming that he had no omissions of information, he put the yearbook back on the bookshelf. In this era, everyone who has some money wants to pretend to be educated. Therefore, decorating the bookshelf has become a necessary interior decoration, and to supplement your own personal bookshelf, this kind of city almanac with thick pages and exquisite binding is basically indispensable. Even if Ronald is not at home afterwards. If you want to find this book, you can definitely find it. So he wasn't going to rip page 687 out of the book. ——Ronald doesn’t like destroying books if he can. Slowly returning to the desk, Ronald still put the password letter in the notepad and put it back under the corner of the desk. Immediately, he stretched out comfortably and said, "Ha--" That's the end of today's mental activities! In the afternoon, Ronald asked that the coded letter Nicole had received was successfully cracked by using a text and picture album as a codebook comparison. We can discuss this with the investigator girl next time. After all, he just left the other party's mansion today, so it was really not suitable to visit him again right away. With this thought in mind, Ronald pushed open the door and walked downstairs. Although Nicole was quite happy with the big meal at noon, it still inevitably left a shadow in his heart. Just take this opportunity to learn how to cook with Ms. Hudson - time flies by, and a new weekend meets the winter in Burrenwich in the blink of an eye. Early Saturday morning, the eastern sky showed a hint of brightness. Ronald then took a taxi and rushed out of the city. To be honest, Ronald was a little distracted right now. Although he had important work for the exhibition today, his mind was now occupied with the issue of code letters. Because just last night, he found an opportunity to discuss it with Nicole again. As a result of the discussion, Ronald knew: the text-picture album that Nicole cracked the coded letter a year ago was actually the publication that Elva was the editor-in-chief of! Now, it's obvious. Even if Elva is not a member of this mysterious force, he is definitely an important part of the invitation. The two people's coded letter deciphering references all point to each other.
The target can be locked almost flawlessly.
I want to continue investigating next, and there is no doubt that I should visit this scholar.
——It’s a pity that the opportunity is not suitable now.
Because this scholar named Elva has now moved to the capital Springs.
As for going to the capital to look for Elva,
it’s better to think about it first.
Faced with this situation, even Nicole expressed that she would go to Mr. Yakin to confirm again and ask the investigator about the details of the coded letter back then.
At this point, the priority of this matter has been moved back one place.
Their activities in Berenwich are currently focused on the warden's 'betrayal' and 'Lumiel' who came down from the Black Mountain.
Sit in the carriage and lean against the wall of the carriage.
Ronald's gaze also followed the road and saw the suburban manor.
Today's exhibition venue is no different from the two previous visits.
I hope I can work these two days.
Can it be as smooth sailing as before?
With this thought in his mind, Ronald's right hand suddenly shook.
In fact, there is nothing else.
It was in "The Divine Comedy - Inferno" that the power of 'deception' was activated -
