Paintings of Terror

Ke Xun flipped through the four negatives one by one in his mind. According to Mu Yiran, if the figure in the last one was himself, then the content of the other negatives should also be the people in this room: "The one who eats One, it should be the scene when everyone was eating, I remember Xinchun seemed to be in that position, everyone fed it a lot of food, it looked like a lot."

With such an explanation, most of the sense of horror was eliminated, and there was also a slight hint of strange humor.

Perhaps because of the sudden relaxation, Ke Xun actually felt sleepy. Hearing Mu Yiran's breathing beside him, he seemed to be on the verge of falling asleep.

Everything in the dark room is silent, as if the only thing alive is the curling cigarette in the corner.

This night seemed very long, so long that it made people feel that they had slept for seven days and seven nights.

When Du Lingyu opened his eyes, the room was no longer as dark as before going to bed, but gray with very low light.

The room is still the same, with a high wooden ceiling, a large wooden cabinet against the wall, a large table, and a big bed for lying on.

Actually woke up alive, Du Lingyu secretly rejoiced, but at the same time vaguely hoped that everything would end soon, if she woke up in this terrible room every day, she would probably die of mental torture sooner or later.

I don't know how long I slept, Du Lingyu felt her body was a little stiff, maybe it was because of the cold, Du Lingyu endured the stiffness and turned over, only feeling that the surroundings seemed not quite right, as if everything had fallen into an inexplicable Dead silence.

For no reason, Du Lingyu felt a sense of panic, and didn't even dare to move his eyes, so he let his eyes stay in the direction of the wooden cabinet in the room, where there was a faint smoke, it was Mu Yi. Then lit the timing incense?What time is it now?Are you still safe in the world inside or outside the painting?

What Du Lingyu smelled in his nasal cavity was another kind of aroma, which was different from the previous one. Although it was faint, there was something seductive in it, which made people want to continue smelling it.

"Are you awake?" A voice sounded beside her, it was Fang Fei.

Du Lingyu felt that this voice was a kind of redemption for him, so he relaxed and sat up slowly: "This sleep is really long."

"Get up, get ready to wash up, and have breakfast." Fang Fei's voice was slightly cold.

Du Lingyu felt something was wrong, Fang Fei was sleeping on her left side, why did this sound come from the right side?Du Lingyu subconsciously looked in the direction of the voice, and saw that Fang Fei was fully dressed, and she was sitting at a distance to her right.

"Have you finished washing?" Du Lingyu's eyes slowly moved from Fang Fei to her side, and she suddenly found Xi Shengnan lying motionless beside her——Xi Shengnan was lying quietly, her face covered A piece of cloth, she is not sleeping.

Du Lingyu was so surprised that she forgot to scream, she quickly left Xi Shengnan's side, looking at Fang Fei's appearance, the cloth on Xi Shengnan's face should be covered by her.

Du Lingyu admired Fang Fei's calmness, and tried not to tremble at this time: "Well, what's going on here? Sister Xi..."

"Something happened to her," Fang Fei seemed to be tasked with guarding the corpse, "They have already gone to call someone."

It was only at this time that Du Lingyu remembered to look at the other companions, only to realize that only Cao Youning was left asleep on the bed, Lu Heng and Mai Peng were also in the room at this time, standing by the bed with very ugly expressions.

Du Lingyu slowly moved to the side of the two companions, and said in a low voice: "Why don't you wake everyone up, Cao Youning now...do you want to wake him up?"

Mai Peng: "Don't, Lu Heng woke me up just now, I almost died."

"what?"

"I can't explain the feeling. It's like being pulled back from another world. My heart is so uncomfortable that it's about to jump out. After a long time, I'm still not feeling well."

"Oh, let's wait until he wakes up by himself..." Du Lingyu felt as if he was deliberately talking about irrelevant topics, because he was really afraid of talking about Xi Shengnan's death, as if this "death" was a secret, as long as he covered his ears and closed Close your eyes, if you don't look or listen, you will be safe.

Du Lingyu suddenly remembered something: "Hey? Mai Peng, your voice, your voice has completely recovered? Are you recovering from your cold?"

Obviously, I still had an extremely severe cold yesterday, so I'll just say I'm fine today.

Lu Heng seemed to have just reacted, but at this moment he just looked at Mai Peng blankly, and didn't say anything. His eyes rested on Xi Shengnan who was lying down again, and his eyes were filled with despair and dead silence.

Mai Peng: "I'm also surprised, my voice suddenly recovered, and my nasal congestion has also healed, but my throat is so painful, it hurts like a knife."

Du Lingyu was puzzled, but she couldn't explain anything. Besides, the bigger thing on her mind was Xi Shengnan's death. How did she die? What did she experience last night?I slept next to her last night, does that mean that I brushed shoulders with death last night?

Du Lingyu felt cold all over, so cold that he was almost frozen.

"Where is it? This room?" There were noisy voices outside.

It was Ke Xun who opened the door: "Yes, we didn't move after we found out, and kept it as it was."

In addition to a few old members, there was also a middle-aged man in charge, with a calm expression, he slowly approached the bed, saw Fang Fei, and nodded slightly: "Master Wu."

Fang Fei had no choice but to nod in return, and cast her eyes on Xi Shengnan's body: "Everyone is asleep, and no one has heard anything, so she just..."

"I heard that he died of poisoning?" The manager had already walked to the front of the shop.

Fang Fei nodded, and lifted the cloth towel covering Xi Shengnan's face with her own hands.

Du Lingyu closed her eyes subconsciously, but she heard Fang Fei's voice very clearly in her ears: "Because the face is completely black and blue, and the seven orifices are bleeding black, so we deduce that it is poisoning."

Du Lingyu shivered for a moment. Although he didn't see it with his own eyes, "the face is black and blue, and the seven orifices are bleeding" is enough to make up his mind, and he is afraid and sad in his heart——Sister Xi will leave everyone forever...

The person in charge seemed to observe for a while, and then said for a long time: "It seems that she is really poisoned. Does she have any enemies in the lamp brigade?"

"Absolutely not!" Lu Heng's voice was a little excited, "She just came, and she doesn't even know anyone here."

"So, what about these people inside you?"

"No! We have no reason to kill her at all!" Lu Heng's voice was almost crying, "Sheng Nan is like a bosom sister to us all, so we won't treat her..."

The steward's voice was cold and heartless: "Can I take a closer look?"

"You are welcome." Fang Fei seemed to be saying.

After a long time, until the lights in the room suddenly lit up, Du Lingyu couldn't help opening his eyes and looking elsewhere, only then did he realize that the lamplighter from yesterday came in and lit every gauze lantern.

"Old well, come and have a look." The steward greeted the lamplighter.

The lamplighter walked over with steady steps, and was not alarmed when he saw the dead man on the bed: "Is there any arrangement? Mr. Brigadier Officer."

"Look at the hairpin on the dead man's head, is it the one that Xiayu lost?" said the manager.

This sentence obviously caused dissatisfaction among many people, especially Lu Heng: "We came here in this outfit! Sheng Nan has always been wearing this hairpin! Sheng Nan will not take other people's things!"

The lamplighter took the hairpin handed over by the steward and carefully identified it: "It is indeed flawed jade. The jewelry of the Chu family is marked. There is a word Chu engraved on the inside of this jade hairpin. No other family can imitate it." of."

The person in charge, also known as the "Brigade Officer" in the lamplight population, said: "We need to check her other jewelry."

No one expected that things would develop to this point, but judging from the current situation, fearless stopping is not the best choice.

So, everyone had to take the initiative to provide Xi Shengnan's package. Fortunately, the developing tank and photography-related things inside had been put into the public cabinet.

The brigade officer soon found the jewelry box in the package, opened it and pointed the jewelry inside to the light one by one: "Most of these jewelry are marked with the word 'Chu', here is another box, this box is What is this for?"

The brigade officer soon found a small long box with a strange shape. When he opened it, he found some knives inside.

"This is Sister Xi brought from outside... from outside Denglv! These have nothing to do with the Chu family." Du Lingyu couldn't help explaining that this box was Xi Shengnan's ceramic knives brought in from the outside world. When I got here, it was painted as a "default" metal knife.

The brigade officer was unmoved, and carefully checked the knives in the box one by one: "Why are there two missing? There are obviously grooves for knives, but there are no knives."

This...Lu Heng is not easy to explain, the two knives should not be recognized by the painting, so they couldn't show up.

Shao Ling was surprised at the side: Xi Shengnan didn't communicate with everyone about this matter. At that time, he only mentioned a few words about ceramic knives, but he didn't say anything about the two knives missing. People say.

In the world of paintings, there are very few things that disappear because they cannot be recognized. Even the most taboo time in this world-everyone’s mobile phone is only missing clocks, calendars and other timing functions, as well as other smart functions, but at least it can illuminate. At least it can still retain the appearance of a mobile phone; including the most taboo watch in the world, it has not disappeared out of thin air, but has become an ornament such as a bracelet.

It is absolutely abnormal that two knives are missing from a set of knives, and no one knows about it.

Mai Peng's voice was a little weak, and he explained to several old members in a low voice: "At that time, sister Xi said that something was missing, two new-style knives were missing, and we felt that the painting might not be recognized..."

The brigade officer's voice became more and more serious: "These knives have the word Xi on them. The dead woman's surname is Xi?"

Mai Peng still remembers the original appearance of this set of props. It was a set of ceramic knives in a resin box, and Xi Shengnan wrote the word "Xi" on the resin box.

Qin Ci answered the brigade officer's words: "Yes, our companion's surname is indeed Xi. Excuse me, sir, is there any problem with this matter?"

The hotel master's words spread to everyone's ears word by word: "Xiayu was stabbed to death by a knife, and she was stabbed with many knives all over her body. In the end, the two knives were still on her body, and the two knives were engraved with A word 'Xi'."

Maybe it was because things turned around so quickly that people were caught off guard. No one said anything, but more doubts.

The lamplighter's words sounded slowly: "Master Wu is right, the murderer is a woman, and this woman will get retribution."
