To my beloved family members:
Since I got sick, you are all around me, which makes me feel unprecedented happiness and joy. But for some reason, I feel a little strange in this happiness and joy. Children, your relationship is no longer like when you were a child. It was so close, and now I can only see the scene of everyone reunited and harmonious again in front of my hospital bed.
I'm scared. I'm afraid that after I leave, this family will fall apart! We used to be so close and have so many beautiful memories. Why on earth has it become like this?
Recently, I often recall the past days. At that time, we would taste the new flavors of Jiachen's research together; help Jiachen solve math problems that he couldn't even read; buy beautiful clothes and jewelry, dress up dolls, and move the lovely Jiachen together. Star...... But I haven't seen this kind of scene for many years.
Don't blame me. The puzzles presented this time are not to embarrass you. I just hope that everyone can discuss and solve problems together as before, so that there will be no problems that can embarrass you.
Dad recently looked up some strange encryption methods. He studied bit by bit until his eyes were sore from looking at them. But every time he thought about it, he could make you sit together for this matter and imagine everyone working together for one thing. Look, no matter how sore or painful it is, everything is worth it. I can't accompany you to the end. Dad is ill. I have been busy with work these years, but my love for you has never changed. Jia Ri, you are a down-to-earth child and the child who is most like me. How about it? Are the questions that dad, a math idiot, gave you this time are very powerful?
Jiachen, you have been the smartest since you were a child. You must be able to crack this password easily. But don't laugh at Dad. I have been planning it for a long time.
Jiaxing, haha, I can predict your expression when you learn the contents of the will I left. You must be pouting and complaining that daddy is so annoying! Baby, don’t think I’m annoying, daddy really loves you.
Wife, the thing I can’t let go of the most is you. You must be very happy to see the children discussing puzzles at home! I really want to spend this warm moment with you, but I don’t. Time is running out with you. I'm sorry. If we meet again in the next life, I will definitely work hard to be a romantic man.
To my favorite family: I love you forever
Decryption method
Method ①: (My child, your family loves you very much, and they will give you all the good things first.) (But don’t be too arrogant. Every word of your mother and brothers must be taken seriously. Listen, haha, you don’t have to listen to the punctuation marks in the middle.) This sentence (Everything good is given to you first) implies that the clue to decipher the first layer is in the letter to my sister. (Every sentence and every word between mother and brothers) is the method of decryption. Mother is in front, indicating that it is necessary to use clues to decrypt the words in mother's letter. According to the 120, 118, 206, 417, 519, 526, 112, 526, 525, 317, 402, 313, 417, 220, 237 characters in the rich clue, three numbers are a group. The first number represents the number of sentences in the letter to mother, and the last two numbers represent the number of words in the sentence. (Punctuation marks are not counted)
120 (out) 118 (people) 206 (and)
417(throw)519(I)526(U)
112(should)526(U)525(O)
317(like)402(not)313(like)
417 (throw) 220 (return) 237 (very), so you get a combination of Chinese characters and letters. Take the first letters of all Chinese characters to get a string of English letter combinations: LHRRIUYUOYBXRHH
Method ②: The younger sister’s clues (after your father is gone, your brothers will be your strong backing) suggest that the next decryption method is in the two brothers’ information, 111, 423, 404, 311, 423 in the eldest brother’s information. The 210 decryption method is the same as the method ① After taking the first letter, we get the English word Caesar (alluding to the Caesar encryption method). The keyword "three people" in the data means that if you use the Caesar encryption method to perform reverse decryption, you need to shift forward by three letters.
LRHRIUYUOYBXRHH→ioeofrvrlvyuoee
Method ③: The decryption method of 107, 220, 303, 321, 220 in the second brother’s information is the same as method ①. Take the first letter to get fence (implying the fence encryption method). The keyword "two people" in the information represents the use of fence encryption. To perform reverse decryption, you need to form a group of two letters.
ioeofrvrlvyuoee→I love you forever
Method ④: In the last step, the bank safe password prompt is a four-digit password. The sentence "I love you forever" consists of four words. According to another sentence in the rich man's clue (as long as the family unites together, all difficulties will be solved). All the problems will be solved easily, and all the problems will become very simple in the last step). This sentence implies that the last step is the simplest. Calculate the number of letters corresponding to each word in the sentence "I love you forever" and get the bank safe password. 1437.
