Seeing Ye Huang constantly banging inside, Zheng Feiyuan said again, "We have searched the inside. It is solid on all sides and there are no mechanisms."
The Night Emperor did not stop when he heard this, but said calmly, "The architectural style of this house is clearly not Western, and the furniture in the room is also Chinese, but there is an extra Western-style fireplace. Have you never found it strange?
?
And this room clearly has central air conditioning, so even if it’s really cold, there’s no need for this fireplace.”
Zheng Feiyuan was stunned and couldn't answer for a while.
"You can't find it because the mechanism is not in the fireplace."
The Night Emperor stood up and walked quickly to the large mahogany desk and sat down. He first groped through everything on the desk, such as computers, books, paperweights and bonsai.
After finding that there were no problems, he searched under the desk for a while, but still couldn't find anything like a mechanism.
The Night Emperor tried to push the mahogany desk away and looked under the chair legs, but found nothing unusual.
The Night Emperor was not discouraged, but opened the drawers on the left and right sides of the desk with great interest and checked the contents, but still found no clues.
After sitting upright again, Yehuang looked at the three drawers on each side of the desk. His eyes moved slightly, and he reached out and pushed the drawer back, and then pulled it out.
As if he was addicted to playing, the Night Emperor began to drag the six drawers one by one.
"I see!"
When Chen Luo heard Ye Huang's voice, he immediately knew that he had found a trap.
"What is this?"
"Combined mechanism."
The Night Emperor looked at the six drawers, "Every time these drawers are opened or closed, signals can be transmitted through the roller skates below.
Each drawer has a different password. For example, if it is opened and closed once, it is 1, and if it is opened and closed twice, it is 2.
There are six drawers in total, which means that the password is a six-digit password combination from 0 to 9."
Chen Luo was speechless for a moment when he heard this, "There are a million combinations. How can we have time to try them all here?"
"Not that much. First we can exclude numbers above six."
Chen Luo quickly understood that if Zheng Keji often wanted to open secret rooms, he would probably not set many passwords of more than six, because this would mean having to close the drawer repeatedly more than six times.
According to human inertia, Zheng Keji would most likely set the number of times for each drawer to less than six times.
"But even so, there are still hundreds of thousands of permutations and combinations...wait a minute!"
Chen Luo suddenly said, "Try 315326!"
The Night Emperor was a little surprised and said, "Why is this number?"
"This is the password Zheng Keji set for Swiss bank transfers. As he is old, he probably won't set multiple passwords to prevent himself from forgetting it.
This string of numbers happens to be below 6, so it is probably the password to open this combination mechanism."
"Your reaction is like no other."
The Night Emperor sighed in admiration, and immediately began to open the drawers one by one from right to left, and then closed the upper drawer.
Zheng Feiyuan on the side looked at it for a while, wondering why Chen Luo suddenly started playing with the drawer.
But after a moment, he heard a crisp clicking sound.
When Zheng Feiyuan looked back in shock, he found that the fireplace had actually risen upwards, revealing a downward passage.
And as the fireplace is fully raised, the lights below automatically turn on.
Zheng Feiyuan looked at this mechanism with surprise and joy. The whole family almost searched the carpet but could not find the secret room. Unexpectedly, Chen Luo actually opened it as soon as he arrived.
"Mr. Chen, how did you know to turn on the mechanism like this?"
Zheng Feiyuan also realized at this time that the way Chen Luo opened and closed the drawer just now was obviously the way to open the mechanism.
But apart from Zheng Keji, only the most favored Zheng Feipeng should know how to open it.
Chen Luona obviously wasn't just guessing, but seemed to have already known the password combination and turned it on directly.
"Now is not the time to discuss this. Let's first see if there is anything we want in it."
The Night Emperor had already stood up. He strode over, locked the door to the study room, and immediately entered the underground secret room with Zheng Feiyuan.
This underground secret room is not big, only about ten square meters. There is a huge safe inside, but there is nothing else.
Zheng Feiyuan was stunned again because he didn't know the passwords of the safes. Even if they came in, they wouldn't be able to open the safes.
The Night Emperor had already walked to the safe. He turned the combination disk and listened to the sounds inside.
"Does Mr. Chen know the password to the safe?"
When Zheng Feiyuan saw the Night Emperor's movements, his face was filled with anticipation.
The Night Emperor shook his head and entered the combination of 315326, only to find that the safe was not opened.
Yehuang tried typing backwards again and found that it still didn't work.
"Mr. Chen, I'm looking for someone who can crack the safe now!"
Zheng Feiyuan said impatiently.
"Mr. Zheng, I'm sorry to tell you that although this safe is a few years old, it contains dozens of interlocking composite steel bolts with reinforced cup-shaped clasps.
There is also a level 10 separation mechanical device that can withstand level 9 earthquakes or industrial hot melt punctures.
Even if you call in a cutter, you can't even think of cutting open this safe."
Yehuang said calmly, "Besides, when you find someone, Zheng Feiyang and others will also arrive. By then, all your efforts will be in vain."
Zheng Feiyuan was dumbfounded, "What should we do?"
"Mr. Zheng, please be patient. I have a solution."
Yehuang smiled and said, "Mr. Zheng, please go outside and get a glass of water."
Zheng Feiyuan was stunned for a moment, "Mr. Chen, if you want to drink water, we can open the safe and then talk..."
"I don't want to drink water, but I want to open the safe."
Zheng Feiyuan was stunned again, wondering why Ye Huang would ask for water to open the safe.
But he had no choice but to run out to get water.
When Zheng Feiyuan hurriedly came in with a glass of water, the Emperor of the Night ordered again, "It's too little. Get another glass."
Zheng Feiyuan was speechless and wanted to ask Ye Huang why he didn't tell him earlier, but this was obviously not the time to get emotional, so he had no choice but to run out again.
When he left, the Night Emperor had already placed the glass of water on top of the safe, and then began to turn the combination disk to observe the reaction of the water surface.
"Are you looking for the password again?"
"That's right."
Night Emperor smiled and explained, "This type of safe has advantages and disadvantages.
Water placed in a confined space will have a slight depression in the center, which is called a meniscus.
Just place the cup on the gear box and turn the combination disk. When the notches match, the pressure between the gears will relax slightly and the gears inside will be tightly connected.
A slight relaxation will cause the meniscus to move and the water to ripple, which means you have found the right password."
Chen Luo quickly understood the principle and why the Night Emperor asked Zheng Feiyuan to get the second glass of water.
Because Ye Huang had already opened the safe with one operation, he asked Zheng Feiyuan to get the second glass of water just to send him away.
After the Night Emperor opened the heavy safe door, he quickly handed over control of his body, "Hurry up and get what you want."
Chen Luo didn't waste any time. He quickly glanced around the safe and saw a pile of USB flash drives placed on the top.
Chen Luo just looked at the appearance and color and knew they were the ones Zheng Keji took with him when he escaped.
Without thinking, he directly opened a zipper inside the clothes and stuffed all the USB drives inside.
