Chapter 38 38. Breaking the Secret
Chunhe Building.

On the mahogany square table are potted tofu, water basin lamb, white water sheep head and spicy chicken slices, and a jar of Qinchi spring wine. Yang Denghuan and Cao Youguang are sitting opposite each other.

It was already noon at this time, and the business of Chunhe Building was good. The upstairs and downstairs of the store were almost full of diners, and the sounds of boxing games were coming and going, which was quite lively.

"I didn't expect that there are so many eaters who like to eat Northwest cuisine in our Forty-Nine City." Yang Denghuan looked around and said with some surprise.

"What is good at the top will follow suit at the bottom." Cao Youguang looked indifferent, quite disapproving.

"Oh..." Yang Denghuan seemed to have suddenly realized that Cao Youguang was not used to it, and said unhappily: "In public, don't look stupid, okay?"

"You mean to let me show my consciousness and look smart and capable on purpose? I'm here for dinner."

Cao Youguang didn't fully understand what Yang Denghuan meant, so he frowned and ignored him.

Yang Denghuan ignored Cao Youguang, chopsticks rained down on the basin of mutton and spicy chicken slices, eating them were quite sweet.

"You ordered Guota tofu!" Cao Youguang said angrily.

This kid originally ordered one dish, but when he saw him, he ordered several in a row like he was eating an enemy, isn't he playing tricks!

"I ordered it for you." Yang Denghuan said without raising his head.

"What did you ask me to come out for?" Cao Youguang asked with a frown. This kid is too tired. When this case is over, he has to beat him hard and tell him about organizational discipline seriously!
"He Lao San didn't spread the news?" Yang Denghuan raised his head and asked, smiling as if he didn't want to be beaten.

Cao Youguang knew what Yang Denghuan meant, nodded and asked, "What do you think?"

Everyone is a smart person, and it is very pleasant to chat. How could Cao Youguang not understand this truth.

"There are mysteries in these four dishes." Yang Denghuan pretended to be deep.

"That's right, but I thought about several possibilities, but none of them are correct, and I'm a little stumped." Cao Youguang said in a low voice.

"That's why I asked you to come to the scene to take a look, maybe there is some inspiration."

"Inspiration? What inspiration can I get here! The mystery is in those four dishes! I just don't know what they all mean." Cao Youguang said with a sigh.

"Look at the signboard above the counter." Yang Denghuan suddenly turned the corner of his mouth towards the name plate of the dish hanging above the counter.

"What? Isn't it the same as the recipe? What's so interesting about it." After Cao Youguang finished speaking, he glanced at the wooden sign and was suddenly stunned.

Roasted sea cucumber with scallions and yellow, the bottom is two numbers: Lu Ba.

It is not difficult to see that the number is the price of this dish, and Lu Ba means sixty-eight cents.

"You mean this number?" Cao Youguang was worthy of being an excellent agent, and he understood Yang Denghuan's meaning in an instant.

"If all possibilities are ruled out, then the only thing left is the truth! So I think the message that Jiang Mao wants to convey is probably the figures represented by the prices of these four dishes." Yang Denghuan's eyes flashed with wisdom as he spoke, causing Cao Youguang to look at him a few more times.

talent!talent!Now that the party is suffering from internal and external troubles, it is an eventful time, and such talents are needed!I still need to work hard to win over a lot!

"Gourd chicken...28...caught mutton...32...guotado tofu...fifteen, together it is 28.32.15.68...what does this mean?"

Cao Youguang frowned, his eyes flickered, Yang Denghuan didn't interrupt, but with Cao Youguang's wisdom and experience, it was not difficult to guess this string of numbers.

"Is there a code book? So which book is the mother book?" Cao Youguang seemed to be talking to himself.

"The password is obvious, but the parent book should not be a certain book. If a certain book is used as the code book, then the order should be 'number of pages, number of lines, and number of words', which are all two digits, obviously not enough, so it cannot be a code book." Yang Denghuan shook his head and said.

"This is a bit difficult!" Cao Youguang said in embarrassment.

Yang Denghuan thought for a while, dipped his hands in the tea, and drew a pattern similar to an enlarged and lengthened nine-square grid. In the middle grid, he wrote the three characters "Chunhe Building", each occupying a grid.

"The first number represents a horizontal number, and the second number represents a vertical number. The grid where the two numbers intersect is the word that needs to be conveyed! Jiang Mao is so talented! He actually thought of using this method to convey the message!" Yang Denghuan said with emotion.

"If you want to praise yourself, just praise yourself! He is so capable, but you have cracked it all at once!" Cao Youguang said happily.

"Who said it all at once, it's obviously several times! It's not as easy as you think, do you know how many brain cells I've exhausted! Can you tell the headquarters to add some money to me every month to supplement my brain." Yang Denghuan said, rolling his eyes.

"The key now is that we don't have a foundation, and there is nothing we can do if we are in a hurry." Cao Youguang ignored Yang Denghuan and said to himself.

"Guo Xi can't be caught? If you catch him, you'll understand everything!" Yang Denghuan asked.

"I'm afraid he won't recruit if he dies, and then he will have a good meal." Cao Youguang sighed.

"It seems necessary to search Guo Xi's house! I just don't know what excuse to make?" Yang Denghuan stared at Cao Youguang after finishing speaking.

Just kidding, the secret service searched, what excuses do you need?Of course Yang Denghuan did this on purpose, he just wanted to see how Cao Youguang would react.

Sure enough, this sentence reminded Cao Youguang, his eyes lit up, and he said in a low voice, "You don't need to worry about this matter! I'll take care of it."

"How can I ignore it! If I don't go, can I rest assured! What if you miss something!" Yang Denghuan said with a glance at Cao Youguang.

Of course I want to go, what a great opportunity now, firstly, I can learn some practical things, secondly, this is also an excellent time to understand how the Secret Service works, after passing this village, it may be difficult to find this shop again!
"Your identity is secret, we have a one-way connection, and we cannot appear in front of other people, so it is not suitable for you to go." Cao Youguang was slightly taken aback, and then said earnestly.

"I don't care about this! You have a solution." Yang Denghuan said unreasonably.

Cao Youguang thought for a while, then nodded helplessly.

Sure enough, this guy has a way.Otherwise, the greater the pressure, the greater the motivation!So we must put pressure on Cao Youguang, Yang Denghuan thought proudly.

Cao Youguang didn't look like he was in a hurry to leave, so he ordered two more cups of tea and drank it slowly. Yang Denghuan had a slight smile on his face. It turned out that the old fox had already noticed that he was testing himself!
"Slant forward, in the direction of [-]:[-], there are three Japanese agents. You should have noticed it, so you don't get up. When I get up together, are you going to laugh at me?" Yang Deng said with a smile.

Cao Youguang was obviously taken aback, and said puzzledly: "The calluses on their palms show that they are soldiers. I can see that too, but how did you know that they are Japanese spies?"
