I am a super cop

Chapter 1010 Math Madman
If only an arithmetic formula is left, then "X" is redundant.

But since Zhang Qi set up the unknown number "X", the seemingly simple addition formula obviously has intriguing meanings in it.

But what is the rule, Gu Chen is not clear yet, so he can only ask Zhang Wei beside him: "Has Zhang Qi mentioned this formula to you?"

"This...let me think about it." Zhang Wei didn't answer right away, but leaned against the wall and thought carefully.

But after a while, Zhang Wei also shook his head, and said with some embarrassment: "I hate mathematics since I was a child, but Zhang Qi told me before that he likes regular numbers."

"Rules? What aspect are you referring to?" Gu Chen felt that it was the same as he imagined, so he hurriedly asked again.

Zhang Wei rested his chin and was also thoughtful: "I may not be able to say the specific rules, but Zhang Qi has a habit, such as choosing a number, if he chooses a number starting with 1, then the following must start with 1, and if he chooses a number starting with 2 , then the following may all start with 2."

"That is to say, Zhang Qi chose the number 428, so he must start with 4, right?" Gu Chen seems to have caught some of Zhang Qi's rules from Zhang Wei's mouth.

Zhang Wei hesitated for a few seconds, then nodded silently: "Maybe, anyway, this guy likes to play numbers games, and there must be regularities and connections between numbers, that's for sure."

After a pause, Zhang Wei said again: "It's a pity that this guy is serious about subjects and only likes mathematics, so he didn't get into any good school, and he has become what he is now."

Listening to Zhang Wei's broken thoughts, Gu Chen quickly sorted out the fragmented information in his mind.

"If it is already known that these cultural relics are stored in 800 of these lockers, then if it is true what Zhang Wei said, Zhang Qi likes the law of numbers."

"Then he chooses the locker numbered 428 to hide cultural relics, and then other lockers that hide cultural relics will have a high probability of starting with 4."

Gu Chen thought to himself, the fragmented clues in his mind were also rapidly reorganizing.

In this way, the lockers starting with 4 are only between 400 and 499.

Just thinking of this, Lu Weiwei also interjected: "Junior Brother Gu, since Zhang Qi likes to play number games and is more regular, then his formula for keeping the side position outside the locker may be that Zhang Qi is afraid of making mistakes and secretly records went up."

"That's right." Gu Chen also nodded silently, glanced at Zhang Wei and said, "If it's true as you said, then Zhang Qi chose the number 428, so the number of other hidden cultural relics must also be 4 at the top?"

Hearing this, Zhang Wei just nodded silently, but said with some embarrassment: "Officer Gu, the lockers starting with 4, from 400 to 499, you won't let me open every locker?"

"If the guess is correct, it's okay to say that it starts with 4, but if it's not, wouldn't it be a waste of work, and I will be exhausted."

"You still have the nerve to say you're exhausted?" Lu Weiwei quit immediately when she heard that, and directly retorted, "Don't you know who you are, Zhang Wei? I haven't settled with you for attacking the police with a sharp knife yet."

"And in this matter, you are completely accomplices. If you don't explain the cultural relics, how dare you call yourself tired?"

"Assaulting the police?" Zhang Wei snorted coldly, and said with a dry smile, "Is it as serious as you said? I just want to escape."

"Zhang Wei, let me tell you..."

"I'll tell you Zhang Wei." Before Lu Weiwei finished speaking, Gu Chen interrupted directly: "Now violently assaulting the police, but I'm starting to plan to go to prison alone."

"Just today, the draft of the Criminal Law Amendment (Eleventh) was submitted to the [-]th quan.guo.ren.da Standing Committee for a second review."

"The purpose is to further strengthen the prevention and punishment of police assaults, and the draft adds a separate statutory penalty for violent attacks on people's policemen who are performing their official duties according to law."

"And some committee members and departments also suggested that the prevention and punishment of police assaults should be further strengthened legally."

Seeing that Zhang Wei felt a little guilty at the moment, Gu Chen said again: "The fifth paragraph of Article 270 of the Criminal Law stipulates 'violent assault on the people's police who are performing official duties according to law', and in accordance with the provisions of heavier punishment for the crime of obstructing official duties, add a separate statutory penalty. .”

"And at the same time, for serious violent assaults on the police, such as using guns, controlled knives, or driving a motor vehicle, more severe penalties will be added."

After a pause, Gu Chen said again: "The situation I mentioned has been carefully studied, and I think the higher-ups will soon adopt their opinions."

"So you attacked us with a knife before, think about it for yourself, how should you judge?"

Hearing Gu Chen's warning that he had already assaulted the police with violence and that he was going to be sent to prison alone, Zhang Wei immediately faltered, and said softly:

"Officer Gu, I don't really understand the legal things you mentioned. Anyway, you can do whatever you say. It's just that I have more than enough energy to open so many lockers."

"I didn't tell you to open it all." Gu Chen glanced at Zhang Wei, but didn't force it.

Of course, Gu Chen also knew that before confirming where the other 9 cultural relics were hidden, he blindly asked Zhang Wei to pick the locks one by one.

Although it is possible to do so, the cost is too high.

Gu Chen now needs a feasible method to find out the law hidden in the formula.

Since Zhang Qi is a math madman, likes to play number games, and has his own rules and habits, it is easy to handle.

Gu Chen was afraid that Zhang Qi would not play his cards according to the routine, and hide the cultural relics in a disorderly manner.

This kind of search, on the contrary, adds a lot of uncertainty.

But a few people have now found the hiding place of one of the cultural relics using a simple addition formula.

Gu Chen absolutely believes that it is only a matter of time before the other 9 cultural relics are found.

Taking out his notebook, Gu Chen began to write the number 428 on the paper, so as to analyze and calculate on the paper.

Afterwards, Gu Chen wrote "428-400" next to the number 499 for reference.

"If 10 cultural relics are really hidden in the storage boxes starting with 4, and all the storage boxes are connected, it should not be very difficult to check between 400 and 499."

Gu Chen frowned, and the 428 on the paper began to change directions in front of his eyes.

But soon, Gu Chen discovered an interesting phenomenon, changing the positions of the different digits of the number 428, it was 824.

In this way, the other numbers have the same law.

Gu Chen suddenly calculated boldly, and began to use his own brain to constantly check the various laws and possibilities of these numbers.

In less than 30 seconds, Gu Chen has already calculated 5 patterns, one of which, Gu Chen also did similar interesting exercises in high school, so he feels that it matches very well.

Zhang Qi seems to be arranging the rules according to the exercise he did at the beginning, so Gu Chen quickly wrote down the numbers in the rules in the notebook one by one.

卢薇薇踮起脚尖，瞥了眼顾晨的手稿，不由念出声道：“408、418、438、448、458、468、478、488，498？”

Rubbing her eyes, Lu Weiwei didn't understand, so she said, "Junior Brother Gu, how did you calculate this?"

"Now I don't know if it's these, let Zhang Wei open it according to these numbers first." Gu Chen didn't answer Lu Weiwei immediately, but called Zhang Wei over.

Zhang Wei glanced at the numbers written in Gu Chen's notebook, also confused, and asked Gu Chen weakly: "Officer Gu, is it right to unlock the lock according to these numbers?"

"Yes, you should open it first." Gu Chen said.

"Okay, I'll try." Zhang Wei took a deep breath, and began to use his housekeeping skills to insert the bent wire into the No. 408 locker.

As before, Zhang Wei fiddled with the wire in the keyhole for a while, and then put his ear on the cabinet to listen, twisting the wire while listening.

After 30 seconds passed, only a "click" sound was heard, and the locker numbered 408 was suddenly opened.

Officer Wang hurried over, his eyes widened, and he was dumbfounded for a moment.

"Old Wang, what did you see?" Lu Weiwei hurriedly reminded Officer Wang when he saw his dull eyes.

Police Officer Wang didn't speak, but just reached out and fiddled with it for a while, and slowly took out a purple gold pot.

The security manager, Zou Wenqing, took a look and said loudly, "This Zijin pot is also one of the 10 lost cultural relics, is it really here?"

"what?"

"I lost it."

"It's really in locker 408?"

"Isn't this Gu Chen too amazing?"

Everyone was skeptical before, thinking that Gu Chen could quickly find hidden cultural relics in more than 800 lockers by relying on his own understanding and reasoning of the formula?

But now it seems that Gu Chen is not only a god, but also a god.

Seeing that the first number 408 was exactly right, Yuan Shasha hurriedly reminded, "Zhang Wei, then hurry up and open the cabinets with other numbers."

"Wait a minute." Zhang Wei, who was startled by Gu Chen and broke into a cold sweat, was also flustered at the moment.

I thought to myself that there is such a god-man by my side?

The one-in-eighty chance that Gu Chen will find it accurately shows that Gu Chen is by no means an ordinary person, but a real master in the police field.

So Zhang Wei continued to try to pick the lock based on the second number calculated by Gu Chen, which is 418.

But in the end, his jaw dropped again. In the locker numbered 418, there was actually a cultural relic.

At this moment, the scene suddenly boiled, and everyone was so excited that Zhang Wei continued to make persistent efforts to pry open all the remaining lockers.

Zhang Wei also felt for the first time that he, a lock picker, was so important in front of the police.

In order to apologise, Zhang Wei endured and continued to pick the locks. Soon, all the cabinets in 438, 448, 458, 468, 478, 488, and 498 were pried open.

And at the same time that all the lockers were pried open, all the cultural relics hidden inside were not bad, and all of them were inside.

Now not only Zhang Wei was dumbfounded, but the other policemen were also shocked.

Quickly asked the security manager Zou Wenqing to check the situation of the cultural relics, and the result also made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

As a result of the inspection, the 10 cultural relics found in the locker were all lost items.

"God." Zou Wenqing burst into tears, feeling that there is nothing happier than this.

He rushed in front of Gu Chen and grabbed Gu Chen's hand: "Officer Gu, if it weren't for you, I might really be doomed, I didn't expect you to be amazing, 10 lost cultural relics, you actually Get back everything that is not bad, you are really my reborn parents."

"Don't do this, I can't bear it." Gu Chen was embarrassed by Zou Wenqing's blind confession.

Lu Weiwei smiled lightly and said, "Let me, Junior Brother Gu, be your parents, will your parents agree?"

"Don't say anything, as long as you can help me find these cultural relics, then whoever is my parents." Zou Wenqing was overwhelmed with excitement, and said with a long sigh of relief:
"You know, I found out that the cultural relics were lost early this morning, and my legs were so frightened."

"Such a precious thing has disappeared from my hands. I can't wash it off even if I jump into the Yellow River."

Glancing at Gu Chen, Zou Wenqing's worried face suddenly smiled again: "But I am so lucky to meet you, Officer Gu. Without you, I really don't know what I would do. Officer Gu, how did you do it?" ?”

"That's right, how did Senior Brother Gu calculate these numbers? So accurate?" Yuan Shasha also felt incredible.

Do you feel that Gu Chen's calculation level is too high?

But how Gu Chen calculated it, no one knows.

Under everyone's curious eyes, Gu Chen smiled lightly: "Actually, it's nothing. Zhang Qi just played a trick. He used this unknown to record the cabinet where the cultural relics are hidden."

"It may be that he was in a hurry while hiding the cultural relics, so he can only forcefully remember the number 428."

"But to be on the safe side, he hid the other 9 cultural relics in lockers with different numbers. In this way, he can use a set of regular calculations to let himself know where the other 9 items are hidden."

Lu Weiwei nodded silently when she heard the words: "This Zhang Qi is indeed very powerful, but your Junior Brother Gu is also very powerful. How did you calculate these numbers? Is there any law in it?"

"Of course there are rules." Now that all the lost cultural relics have been recovered, Gu Chen feels that it is time to tell everyone about the rules of his calculations.

"Actually, I found this number very interesting, and Zhang Wei also told me that Zhang Qi likes to play number games, so there must be a connection between these lockers."

"And from Zhang Wei's mouth, I probably know that Zhang Qi is a bit paranoid. Why do you say that? Because Zhang Wei also said it before, Zhang Qi has a habit."

"For example, if he chooses a number, if he chooses to start with 1, then the following must start with 1, and if he chooses to start with 2, then the following may all start with 2."

"Yes, I did." Zhang Wei didn't expect that this little reminder of his own would let Gu Chen know the rules of cracking Zhang Qi's number game.

Gu Chen continued to smile and said, "So when we derive from the formula, there is a cultural relic hidden in the locker numbered 428."

"Then according to Zhang Qi's personal habits, other cultural relics will inevitably be hidden in numbers starting with 4."

When everyone heard the words, they also nodded silently.

In this regard, Gu Chen is using the method of elimination to exclude other irrelevant numbers.

Narrows down the range considerably to between 400 and 499.

Zhang Wei asked again: "But you know that Zhang Qi will hide cultural relics in lockers starting with 4, so how did you calculate so accurately and find out the numbers of the other 9 lockers?"

"It's very simple. This is actually an interesting math problem." Gu Chen didn't try to fool everyone, and said straightforwardly:

"Look at it, if every locker is connected, and they are all more than 400, then we will find the inner law."

"That is... the number in the tens place of the sum of the two numbers is the same as the number in the tens place of the first addend. This requires that the number in the ones place must be added to the tens place by 1."

“而1与第二个加数396十位上的9相加，得整数10，向百位进1。”

"So the hundreds digit of the sum of the two numbers must be 8, and the tens digits from 0 to 9 are all eligible."

见众人还有些云里雾里，顾晨继续淡笑着说：“因此，藏有文物的另外9个储物箱编号，依次就是408、418、438、448、458、468、478、488和498。”

The voice fell, and the scene was silent.

Everyone is doing mental arithmetic with each other, but the level of mental arithmetic is not as good as that of Gu Chen, so it is difficult to keep up with Gu Chen's train of thought.

Lu Weiwei smiled wryly: "Although I don't quite understand it, but I think it's amazing. This guy Zhang Qi hides cultural relics, and he has come up with so many rules?"

"Otherwise, what do you think? Not only can this guy change his face, but he's also a math madman." Police Officer Wang has been taught once, as if he became a scumbag in seconds.

Gu Chen explained that although he didn't quite understand it, Gu Chen also said later that this was an interesting math problem he did in high school.

But now it is used by Zhang Qi to hide cultural relics. It can be seen that crimes with high IQs are really nerve-wracking.

The key is this group of idiot security guards.

It can be said that Zou Wenqing's security team was so stupid that Zhang Qi's strategy was realized.

No one dares to be so crazy to be so bold and careful, to steal cultural relics in such an out-of-the-ordinary way, and hide them in the exhibition hall without anyone noticing.

This is also the first time that Gu Chen met such a thoughtful person.

If Zhang Wei, the pig teammate, hadn’t made a mistake in his calculations and could only use the hospitable wontons with an easy-to-remember logo as supper, it would have been difficult for Gu Chen to follow the clues and find Zhang Wei’s hiding place.

It can be seen that it doesn't matter how good a person is, the key is that the pig teammates have brains, otherwise it will be a drag.

Gu Chen walked up to Zou Wenqing, and also reminded him: "The cultural relics have been retrieved for you, next, prepare for tomorrow's exhibition, and don't lose them to me."

"Don't worry, after this time, I won't dare to slack off even if I'm killed." Zou Wenqing's mood today was like a roller coaster ride. Before, it was ups and downs, but later it was down and down, with no end in sight.

But with Gu Chen's help, the cultural relics were recovered, and Zou Wenqing seemed to have regained his life.

Even if he doesn't explain now, this guy doesn't dare to slack off in the slightest.

But looking back, Zou Wenqing said again: "Officer Gu, although the cultural relic has been recovered, the thief Zhang Qi hasn't caught it yet."

"And you also said that this guy is good at disguise. If he wants to disguise himself and sneak into the exhibition hall again, I'm really afraid that he will commit another crime because of his cunning."

"I know." Of course Gu Chen knew what Zou Wenqing meant, so he told him: "We will definitely track down Zhang Qi to the end. We know his current identity, and he can't escape from our Wuzhi Mountain."
