Police order

Chapter 599
Lu Ling called Li Meng, learned of Li Meng's new residence, and soon found Li Meng.

"In your place?" Li Meng was a little surprised when he saw the four-pointed star that Lu Ling took out, "Where did you find it? It was cleaned out from the sunken ship?"

"Sure enough, you fell into the sea?" Lu Ling asked, "Why didn't you tell me?"

"What are you talking about?" Li Meng was a little puzzled, "It's not a big deal."

"Is this your father left you? If so, why is it not a big deal?" Yan Yu asked.Obviously, Yan Yu was somewhat wary of Li Meng, but Lu Ling trusted Li Meng a lot.

"Well, it was a thing left by my dad. My dad passed away suddenly. I found this in his belongings later. I researched for a long time and found that it was half of the trademark of a watch brand called 'Polaris'. Later , I also found the same model of this clock. The one you got is fake, I made it myself."

"Fake?" Lu Ling was a little speechless, "No wonder I didn't see that you were in a hurry."

"Yeah, maybe I read a lot of novels too. When I went to sea, I took this with me. I always felt that there was a keyhole on the boat that needed to be opened, but I didn't know until I went to sea. The boat was mainly made of wood. , more than ten years have passed, such a small gadget can be stuck in from anywhere. I lost it later, and I didn't feel bad."

"Where is the original?" Yan Yu asked.

"I'll get it for you." At this moment, Li Meng has brought Yang Xi's mother to his home, which is the house that he once wrote a will to leave to his aunt Li Yuan.

Soon, Li Meng took out a box, and there was an identical four-pointed star inside. Lu Ling picked it up with gloves on and looked at it, and found that it was almost exactly the same as the one in the fish's belly.

"Is it possible that there is a universe inside this thing?" Lu Ling asked.

"No, I checked with a professional. This thing is too small. It's just a [-]% pure half trademark without any other things. I've studied it for a long time, and it's too ordinary, and it feels meaningless." Li Mengdao, "If It works, I'll tell you."

"Then your father didn't leave you anything else?" Yan Yu asked.

"That's quite a lot." Li Meng dragged out a big box and showed it to Lu Ling and the others.

Lu Ling took a look to understand that Li Meng's so-called father's relics refer to all of Li Jiancheng's personal items, even toothbrushes and clothes.In addition to these daily necessities, there are fishing rods and other things, including lighters, knives, etc., all of which are kept.

This bunch of things is very normal. Speaking of it, the four-pointed star looks a bit strange, so it's no wonder that Li Meng studied it at the beginning.

"If you say that, maybe it's just for looking good." Yan Yu looked around and said.

"Well, I've told you about any other uses this thing might have." Li Mengdao, "Come on, this is your first visit to my house, and I'll pour you a glass of water."

"Wait a minute," Lu Ling said, "maybe this thing is useless, but I have to tell you something. That is, when Li Jiantang saw this thing, he looked a little special. If it's just a beautiful thing on a broken clock A small accessory will definitely not make Li Jiantang have that kind of expression."

"Him?" Li Meng became a little hesitant. He wanted to pour water, but stopped in his tracks, meditating on the spot.

At this time, Yang Xi's mother came out, holding a cup and teapot, and walked over slowly: "You two, are you Li Meng's leader? Hey, two leaders, Li Meng is a good boy and a good boy. Good policeman, it is your loss that he left your policeman, can you let him go back, he really wants to be a policeman”

"Auntie," Yan Yu immediately went over to take the water and put it on the table, "Li Meng is still with us, don't worry, he still has work to do."

"Ah? Really? That's great!" Yang Xi's mother was a little excited, "That means you can still get paid on time?"

"Yes, I can retire too." Yan Yu said.

"that would be great!"

"You rest for a while, let's talk about the case."

Yan Yu sent Yang Xi's mother back to the house, Li Meng and Lu Ling said: "I have done a lot of research on these things, but I really have no idea how this thing is related to Li Jiantang."

"Tell me first," Yan Yu said before walking over, "Which clock did you find your trademark from? We also bought many clocks of the same brand from that era, but we couldn't find the same model. .”

"Here," Li Mengdao, "you come with me."

After speaking, Li Meng took Lu Ling and the two into his room and saw a clock.

"It's on this clock," Li Mengdao, "Look, I've already dismantled it. The half you got back from the sea is on this clock. The other half of the trademark is also here."

"A clock?" Lu Ling looked at the 1-meter-high clock, feeling a little puzzled.

The reason why the table clock was not considered was because everyone thought that the 12 nails were nailed out by using the clock dial as a comparison, so they considered small clocks. I did not expect this kind of large table clock to exist here.But in fact, even this kind of big clock, the size of the clock dial is not big.

"This clock dial." Yan Yu observed carefully, "Can we take it down?"

"Then you can do whatever you want." Li Mengsi didn't care.

Because the clock dial has been disassembled many times, the disassembly went very smoothly this time. Soon, Yan Yu dismantled it and sent it to Liu Liwen.

"What does this mean? What does it mean?" Li Meng asked.

"We suspect that this has something to do with the arrangement of the 12 nails." Lu Ling said bluntly, "That's the one I asked you to see."

"That 12-pin arrangement." Li dreamed for a while, "It has something to do with this? I don't believe it. I've been thinking about this 12-pin thing for the past two days. I always feel like I've seen something similar somewhere. But, it might be I was so young at the time that I couldn’t even think about it.”

"Oh?" Lu Ling became interested, "That's not difficult. How about I hypnotize you? See if you can recall it?"

"You still know how to hypnotize? All right, no problem." Li Meng nodded, "How can I cooperate?"

Seeing Li Meng like this, Yan Yu felt a little ashamed. She was actually worried that Li Meng had a problem.Among other things, Li Meng agreed to Lu Ling to hypnotize him without any hesitation, so it can be seen that Li Meng is absolutely fine.

"That's fine, you should calm down first, drink some water, go to the bathroom, and relax, don't worry," Lu Ling said.

"it is good."

Li Meng made preparations, and soon, Liu Liwen also gave a reply.Although I found a desk clock that the trademark can correspond to, but looking at the correspondence with 12 nails, I still didn’t find any problems.The 12 nails are still consistent with the previous opinion. Six nails have relatively standard positions, and the remaining six are more random.

About 5 minutes later, Li Meng returned from relaxing in the toilet, and then sat down obediently, accepting Lu Ling's hypnosis.

Lu Ling was ready. The four-pointed star was used as the hypnosis tool. Li Meng didn't have much resistance in his mind. After a few minutes, he entered the hypnotic state under Lu Ling's guidance.

Then, Lu Ling began to guide Li Meng's memory. Li Meng was in good condition, and soon recalled something: "When I was young, my father taught me to read the compass, know the gossip, and distinguish the heavenly stems and earthly branches. These 12 directions are the 12 earthly branches. The rules of Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu, and Hai are.

As Li Meng said, Lu Ling's expression became serious. He looked at Yan Yu and found that Yan Yu understood.

Lu Ling had played the 12 Earthly Branches game that Li Jiancheng told his son.Played with Xiang Bin.

The 1-12 ratio game that Xiang Bin and Lu Ling played before is this 12 Earthly Branches game. It is exactly the same, and the rules are exactly the same. The only difference is that the 12 Earthly Branches are replaced with the 1 numbers of 12-12!The rules of the game are somewhat complicated, but simply put, it complicates the "scissors and burden hammer".

Lu Ling had previously felt that Xiang Bin thought he had a good chance of winning the game Xiang Bin was talking about, which meant that Xiang Bin must have played it many times.But Lu Ling also asked some people in City C later, including many policemen, but no one had ever seen this game.

Taking advantage of the opportunity when Li Meng entered the hypnotic state, Lu Ling wanted to continue to guide Li Meng to tell some details in his memory, but he asked many questions without success. After all, Li Jiancheng did not teach his son more things.Moreover, Li Meng really had no idea what the half of the trademark represented.

So, Lu Ling asked some more questions, but still got nothing, so he woke up Li Meng, and then told Li Meng what happened just now.

After hearing what Lu Ling said, Li Meng quickly recalled and said, "Yes, my dad told me about this game, but this game is too complicated. I don't have any friends who want to play with me, so I won't play it anymore." I haven't played it, and I forgot about it after so many years. These 12 nails are used to play games. You may not know that this game can be played by multiple people."

"Play together?" Lu Ling asked, "How is this possible? If these 12 pegs are regarded as 12 numbers, if four people play and choose 1, 3, 7, and 12 respectively, who will win?"

按照规则，3比1大、比12大，7和1一样大、比3大，12比7大、比1和3小。这不乱套了？

"Lu Ling, tell me, if the three of us play scissors and burden hammer at the same time, can we win or lose?" Li Meng asked.

"Yes, although it is possible to have scissors, baggage, and hammer separately, but if you try a few more times, there is always a possibility that one or two of them will win. There are more draws." Lu Ling said.

"Well, the gameplay of the 12 Earthly Branches is the same. It's more of a tie. For example, the 1, 3, 7, and 12 you mentioned are indeed a tie, but if there are 1, 2, 3, and 4 In rounds, 4 can kill all, right?" Li Mengdao.

"Well, there are indeed some wins, but I feel that there are too many chances of a draw." Lu Ling was a little puzzled. Almost all draws."

"Gambling is a thing, don't be afraid of more draws, the more draws the more fun, so that there is a game and the possibility of winning or losing. For example, if 10 people play together, if you still have a chance to win 9 people at once, for example, You choose 10, and the other 9 people all choose 5-9, then you win, and you win 9 people at once. The probability is very low, but people who are familiar with it have to be convinced." Li Mengdao, "However, because I was young No one played with me so I really forgot. Besides, I didn't use 12 nails as a 'chessboard' before. I just thought about it with my dad. It's too tiring. It's easy to have 12 nails as a chessboard. There are many."

"Gambling." Yan Yu understood, "This kind of game, if more than 5 people play together, the first seven or eight rounds may be a draw. Then, everyone has to think about which other people will choose, and then choose their own next time." That point. Every time, it is a process of group games, and there is also a lot of luck involved! Speaking of which, this game is quite advanced!"

"It's quite advanced," Lu Ling nodded, "No wonder Xiang Bin would ask me to play, but now I don't know what the relationship between Xiang Bin and the people here is."

"Then go back and talk about it," Yan Yu said, "It is possible that when you go to Xiang Bin with this half of the trademark, Xiang Bin will know the answer, maybe he will tell you."

"I thought it was quite beautiful. If Li Jiantang hadn't been a little surprised, I would really think it was an accessory." Lu Ling felt that he had come back again, and now he understood why Li Meng didn't tell him about the four-pointed star. Because no matter how you look at it, you don't think there is anything special about this thing.

"Li Meng," Lu Ling said, "there is one more important thing, I think you have to think it through."

"What?" Li Meng asked.

"Your dad may not be a simple person. If you say this game is for gambling, what does it mean that your dad taught you this? I don't think it's interesting because he didn't tell you anything else. There is a high probability that no one will practice with him, so he will ask you to play." Lu Ling said.

"My dad is not simple?" Li Meng sighed, "What's the use of that? How many capable people have there been in history? Didn't dust return to dust and dust to dust in the end? I always thought my dad might not have died, but when I When I found his bones and got the DNA results, I really felt psychedelic. Sometimes, people really should lie to themselves."

"Let's not talk about this, today I have gained a lot. If I have anything to verify in the future, I will tell you." Lu Ling said, "When are you going to move to Liao Province?"

"There's no rush now, I'll wait for your call."

"it is good."

Not long after leaving Li Meng's place and getting in the car, Lu Ling received a call from Liaodong City.

Lu Ling's Sijin Supervisor is about to start his study and training class, and Lu Ling needs to hurry back to Liaodong.
