#852 - Su Chen, I just want to ask you whether you accept it or not!
"Professor Luo, it has that flavor." Lao Qi nodded in approval.
"Sir, please don't interrupt me."
"Okay, snap your fingers again." Su Chen nodded.
"Please shut up. If you keep doing this, I won't play anymore."

"OK, please continue."
Luo Ji raised his hand, pointed to the ancient temple not far away, and said:
“If you want to enter the ancient temple, the most important thing is those three numbers.
“I have been thinking about these three numbers since yesterday.
"I had initially considered them as a 'position' factor...
"Two o'clock? Five o'clock? Or seven o'clock?
“After all, the buildings in the ancient temple are arranged in a circle.
“It made me think in this direction.
“But, after reviewing the surveillance footage from the night, I realized that this line of thinking was wrong.
"These three numbers are not 'positions'.
“But——time!!”
Hearing this, Lao Qi and Livermore were both stunned.
Su Chen nodded slightly.
Luo Ji continued:
“At that time, Bai Su entered the ancient temple at exactly five o’clock.
“But after Su Chen talked to us, and after taking into account the time it took to disguise himself and go in, it was already too late.
“So no matter how hard Su Chen looked, he couldn’t find any trace of them.
"But if Su Chen didn't need to disguise himself and followed Bai Su in at five o'clock, he would definitely be able to find the entrance."
At this time, Livermore frowned slightly and asked, "Based on this alone, can we determine that these three numbers represent time? Is it just a coincidence?"
When Livermore makes a judgment on something, he unconsciously uses his business thinking.
In the past, he had to conduct a lot of case analyses before making a plan or program.
He is not used to labeling something just because of a piece of information.
Because that would make him feel a little "one-sided", and "one-sidedness" would lead to his failure and loss of money.
That's why he raised this question.
When he heard Livermore's question, Luo Ji couldn't help but clap his hands, as if he was praising a student who was listening attentively.
Luo Ji said:
“Good question!
“I was asking myself that question at the time.
"So, I continued to observe the surveillance...
"Especially at seven o'clock, be extra careful and cautious.
“The result made me discover that—
“At seven o’clock, several mysterious figures appeared.
“Not a monk, not a priest.
“After they went in, they haven’t come out until now.
“So, I have reason to believe that my judgment is correct.
“—These three numbers are the ‘time’ factor.
"Only at these three time points can the entrance inside be opened."
After saying this, Luo Ji glanced at Lao Qi and Livermore.
Seeing that the two of them were already lost in deep thought, he seemed to be very satisfied.
Towards Su Chen.
His eyes were full of pride.
"Please, stranger, please express your opinion - is my speculation correct?"
Su Chen nodded and said, "Well, that's right. It roughly coincides with my idea..."
Before Su Chen finished speaking, Luo Ji shook his head and said:
"I'm not very satisfied with your expression of 'not bad'. Moreover, you said that your thoughts overlap with mine, which reminded me of Zhang Fei's line - I feel the same way!" Luo Ji stretched out a finger and waved it in the air. "I'm very disappointed in you."
Su Chen ignored his words and instead asked a question.
"Strange professor, have you ever thought that time alone is not enough to find the entrance?" Su Chen asked.
"ah?"
"Yeah, time alone won't do the trick." Lao Qi reacted.
Livermore did not say anything, but just looked at Luo Ji quietly, but there was a hint of doubt in his eyes.
This made Luo Ji feel a little embarrassed.
I originally thought that deducing these things would be enough to shock these guys.
I never expected that they would ask me such a tricky question...
Luo Ji pursed his lips and said nothing for a long time.
Finally, I squeezed out a few words...
"Wait for Bai Su to come out, then we can just follow her..."
"Then what's the significance of the previous 'time' inference? Was it to be able to track Bai Su more accurately?" Lao Qi asked.
"Hey, you guys are trying to make things difficult for me... I don't want to play anymore." Luo Ji rolled his eyes at Su Chen. "By the way, you just said that your ideas overlapped with mine. So, with this 'overlap' between ours, can you find the exact location of the entrance?"
"Of course I can. Otherwise, why would I ask such a question? Am I going to make things difficult for myself?"
"…Then you say!"
"After we go in, I'll explain it to you on the spot."
"Tsk, you haven't thought of it yet, have you?"
"Comrade Su Chen, when do we go in? Do we have to wait until two o'clock?" Lao Qi asked.
"No, let's wait until 5 o'clock before going in." Su Chen said.
"Wouldn't that mean we'd have to wait for the whole day to pass?" asked Livermore.
"Yes."
"But the police are already there preparing. Wouldn't it be... too long for them to wait?" Livermore said.
"It's okay to wait for a day. When investigating a case, arresting the 'wrong suspect' is one of their many duties. Besides, this way, they don't have to look everywhere for the woman we have locked up. From another perspective, we are also helping them to be lazy." Su Chen said.
"It seems that's the truth." Lao Qi nodded.
"Tsk, I hope you wait until five o'clock, not to wait for Bai Su to show up and follow her..." Luo Ji looked unconvinced.
…
Several people stayed in the room and waited for a whole day.
The process is a bit boring.
Lao Qi has been watching cartoons from the Flying Pancake Country.
Luo Ji has been sleeping.
Livermore was calculating something, apparently some cost or something.
And Su Chen has been keeping in touch with Hongxia.
At 4:50, the sun began to set.
Su Chen’s phone rang—it was Captain Vijay.
"Mr. V, we have been waiting for a whole day and there has been no progress. Can we pack up today?" asked Captain Vijay.
"No, today has just begun."
“Just beginning?”
"Yes, we are about to enter the ancient temple. You stay where you are and wait for orders."
"good."
"Just stay outside. Don't act rashly until you hear from me."
"Okay, I understand. I will keep it safe."
After hanging up the phone, Su Chen looked at the other three people.
"Let's go downstairs to the ancient tomb. Lao Qi and Luo Ji will come with me. Livermore, you stay in the hotel."
"Why? I want to go too..."
"It's not a wise move to send everyone out. We must leave one person outside to look after us."
"All right……"
"Besides, that woman is still imprisoned here. We must keep an eye on this place. This matter is as important as our action."
Hearing this, Livermore nodded.
"Okay! Then go ahead and don't worry. I'll take care of this."
…
4:58.
Su Chen and the other two have already entered the ancient temple.
The three of them stood in the middle of the yard. Su Chen looked at Luo Ji and said:
"Luo Ji, your speculation about the time is indeed correct. It's just that you overturned your previous correct speculation, so you can't find the specific entrance."
"What?" Luo Ji was stunned.
"These three numbers are the 'time' factor, and at the same time, the 'location' factor."
Su Chen looked at an ancient well in front of the central temple.
"With this well as the center, the three buildings at the two o'clock, five o'clock, and seven o'clock directions are the three 'entrances and exits'. At the corresponding time, the 'entrances and exits' at the corresponding coordinates will open."
As soon as the words fell.
Two figures walked out of the building at 5 o'clock...
