Script
Pax Lobby
Head with Marius to Pax Headquarters and investigate the clues from Anne Croft's cryptic blog.
Front Desk: Mr. von Hagen, Mr. Martel from one of our subsidiaries has come to see you. He is hoping to meet with you.
Marius: I'm busy today. Arrange another time with him.
Marius: Oh, and if anyone else comes to see me, please don't let them in.
Front Desk: Understood, Mr. von Hagen.
You: Are you sure it's okay to turn him away so abruptly? What if the board directors come to talk to you again when they find it out?
Marius: I have a legitimate reason for today. Assisting the police with a serious case takes priority.
Marius: Anyway, let's go to my office.
President's Office
Head to the Pax President's Office and help Marius crack the password to Anne Croft's blog.
Marius: Look, this is the blog I found. Hmm? I have to enter the password based on this hint to view the blog content? This is crazy!
You: One password requirement after another... It's like those Russian stacking dolls.
Marius: Croft probably knew that someone would read her blog, so she set up a lot of passwords to block them.
You: Let's see... It says when "2×3=1; 2×5=2; 333×1=3; 55×66=4"...
You: The password will be "1314×1=□; 520×2 =□; 214×3=□; 11×4=□."
Marius: Is this a math problem?
You: No, it can't be. If it were a math problem, then 2 times 3 would equal 6, and 2 times 5 would equal 10...
Marius: I got it! The number after the equal sign is the number of digits in the product! So the □ must be the number of the digit, too!
Marius: We just need to fill in the number, and we'll be able to get the correct string of characters for the password.
You: That makes sense. Let me see.
Try inputting the correct password to view information from the blog.
You: So it says when "2×3=1; 2×5=2; 333×1=3; 55×66=4"...
You: The password will be "1314×1=□；520×2=□；214×3=□；11×4=□," so the result will be...
You: It worked! Marius, look... Huh? What is this...?
You: Hmm!? It's wrong?
Marius: Did you make a mistake? It should be 4432 based on the calculations of the digits in the product.
You: Hmm, let me try again.
You: Huh... the content of her blog is not a diary...
Marius: These are... transaction records?
You: Yes. Most of them are donations to orphanages, welfare organizations, and rehabilitation centers.
Marius: The total sum is more than what some famous entrepreneurs donate. I never thought of Anne Croft as a philanthropist.
Marius: Hmm? They are not all donations. Check out this one... The recipient is Jen Mendoza and the transfer was made three months ago.
You: Why did she suddenly transfer money to Ms. Mendoza? Do they know each other?
Marius: Perhaps that's something only Jen Mendoza can answer.
You: It would be nice to meet Ms. Mendoza and ask her in person.
Marius: She is currently preparing to launch her brand in Hemingway Heights. We should be able to find her there.
You: Huh? How did you know that?
Marius: Hehe, it's a secret. Let's go. I'll tell you the story on the way.
