"Etbash code?"

Miss Miyano frowned:

"I know that this code was deciphered by Dr. Schonfeld and was used by scribes in 500 BC to record the Book of Jeremiah in the Old Testament of the Bible."

"But what does this have to do with the password left by uncle?"

"First of all, if you want to explore this connection, you need to know how to decipher the Etbash code."

Smiling slightly, Sakaki took some water and wrote on the table:

"In the Etbash code, the last letter represents the first positive letter, and the penultimate letter represents the second positive letter. In other words, the 26 English alphabets should be reversed!"

"If we decipher the five letters TVOLF obtained by the third inversion according to the Etbash code, the result is GELOU!"

"GELOU?"

With doubts in her eyes, Miss Miyano tilted her head and asked:

"But that's not a word either."

"Of course this is not a word, this is Chinese Pinyin!"

Sakaki recognized the mystery at a glance:

"GELOU Loft!"

"If the Etbash code is the second mechanism set up by my father, Chinese Pinyin is the third mechanism!"

"ah?!"

Miss Miyano was shocked:

"This doesn't make sense. If there is no third reversal, wouldn't the conclusion drawn be wrong?"

The words stopped abruptly.

Sakakisei could see the sudden realization in Miss Miyano's eyes that gradually widened.

"That's right."

Sakaki grinned:

"When we do reading comprehension, we always read from left to right, and Hebrew sentences are different."

"It has to be read from right to left!"

"Even if the interpreter knew that my father used Etbash code, it would be hard to imagine that he also borrowed the Hebrew reading method!"

"This is the second tip he's given!"

"Only by reversing the code a third time can you get the correct answer!"

When everyone’s attention is focused on the English alphabet, they subconsciously ignore the possibility of other languages.

Not to mention Chinese, which is as difficult as climbing to the sky.

This is a very subtle trick. When the codebreakers come to the three conclusions of LFOBT, FLOVT, and TVOLF, they will definitely use other languages ​​to interpret them because they are not English words.

When they find that they cannot decipher it after many attempts, their brains will tell them subconsciously:

This road is blocked.

then

When the real answer is placed in front of them, they will also subconsciously judge that the correct answer of GELOU is wrong!

Adding a word that cannot be deciphered in English to the three passwords that are not words will make the codebreakers doubt their lives and wonder whether Ryunosuke Sakaki used Etbash code for encryption.

unless

The codebreaker is proficient in Chinese, understands Chinese Pinyin, and can see through the secrets at a glance.

This is a secret message that only Sakaki Cheng can understand.

"Strange, how does uncle know that you understand Chinese?"

Miss Miyano couldn't understand.

"Do you remember that during the party on the ship, President Mochida and others said that my father was drunk once and talked nonsense?"

Squinting his eyes, a bright light flashed in Sakaki's eyes:

"Coupled with the hot pot and speaking habits, I concluded that my father was not talking nonsense at that time, but was speaking Chinese!"

"To this day, I don't know his true origin."

"Maybe he is also an undercover agent, an undercover agent from country Z."

"As for Chinese, he should have taught it to me long ago."

Tapping his head with his finger, Sakaki almost blurted out:

"Hide it right here."

"Ah this."

There were so many reversals in one day that even if she was as smart as Miss Miyano, her thoughts fell into chaos for a while.

She looked at Sakaki with dumbfounded eyes. She had countless things to say, but she just didn't know how to refute.

Somewhere in the dark

This reasoning seemed correct to her.

"attic."

After uncovering the secret message left by Sakaki Ryunosuke, Sakaki Cheng immediately asked:

"Is there a loft here?"

"Yes, there is a grid on the ceiling of the utility room on the third floor that leads to the roof!"

When Sakaki was drunk and fell into a coma, Miss Miyano was not idle. She looked around the entire house and naturally discovered the attic above.

After reinstalling the tape, Sakaki Makoto and Miss Miyano immediately came to the utility room on the third floor.

Opening the door, the 10-square-meter room is filled with cleaning utensils such as brooms, mops, and buckets, and some are even unopened. There is a narrow path in the middle that only allows one person to pass through.

"Right there!"

Miss Miyano raised her hand and pointed to the ceiling above her head. Sure enough, there was a two-fold board with pull tabs on it.

Grabbing the long pole for drying clothes, Sakaki hooked the ring and lifted it outward.

Click!

The pull ring drove the lock and opened the two stacks of boards. When the wooden grid slid down, a metal ladder was also pulled out, and with a clatter, it was hung diagonally in front of Sakaki.

Seeing that the secret was about to be revealed, Sakaki climbed up the ladder without saying a word.

There was darkness in the attic. Sakaki turned on the flashlight, looked around, then turned around and picked up Miss Miyano.

"When you were sleeping, I came up here and took a look. There was nothing special."

Miss Miyano walked to the wall and turned on the light.

As she said, the attic was very empty, with nothing else but a row of full-length mirrors placed against the wall.

After walking back and forth in the attic twice, Sakaki found nothing. The attic was very large, spanning the entire third floor, but there was only one entrance and exit, with a window on the left and right leading to the roof.

No one knows what it is used for. It is as wide as a ballet hall. Could it be that it is really used for continuous dancing?

What a joke.

Shaking this unrealistic thought out of his head, Sakaki stood still in front of the mirror.

If there is any secret in the attic.

It should have something to do with this strange row of life-size mirrors.

In the full-length mirror, Sakaki noticed that he had become a bit taller and burlier, including Miss Miyano, with a thinner waist, longer legs, and bulging breasts.

Beauty mirror?

wrong

"The mirror is tilted."

Miss Miyano glanced at the very bright and dazzling incandescent lamp on the ceiling and said:

"This is a common technique used by some clothing stores. Through the placement of lights and mirrors in the fitting room, the clothes appear whiter and the customer's figure becomes slender and fuller."

"The row of mirrors placed by my uncle should be tilted back about 5 degrees. If you don't observe carefully, it will be difficult to find clues."

When it comes to shopping, who is the rival of the little fashion genius?

Sakaki Cheng also had to accept the defeat.

He checked the mirror and found that there was no mechanism installed behind the mirror. The entire attic was just an ordinary attic.

Ryunosuke Sakaki tried so hard to guide him here. What was his purpose?

While pondering, Sakaki lowered his head and looked at the checkered floor under his feet.

The more I feel something is wrong.
