Paintings of Terror

The poisoning was man-made, and the poisoner was very planned and purposeful. This was done quietly, without anyone noticing, and successfully made Xi Shengnan the only victim.

"If the target of the poisoner was Xi Shengnan, then this poisoning case was done perfectly." Shao Ling frowned, "I really can't figure out how the poisoner knew the taste of each of us."

"Yeah," Luo Kuo also said, "I don't even know your tastes. I used to think Brother Dong was a spicy star."

Wei Dong gave Luo Yu a sharp look: Your words will offend the hairlines of all the artists in the world...

Shao Ling also nodded slightly: "Even if everyone experienced the previous painting together, I don't know the tastes of all the old members."

Cao Youning also followed up and said: "Our photography team knows each other well, because we often go out to collect pictures together, but we don't know your old members at all! It's wrong to think about this matter, no one can guarantee that the bottle of poisonous pepper The sauce will definitely be eaten by Sister Xi alone."

Du Lingyu: "I think it's impossible for our internal members to kill each other, but the outsiders don't know our tastes even more, so how can they kill Sister Xi accurately."

"Unless it's a conditional killing, this time it's someone who loves chili, just like a murderer who only killed women in red dresses many years ago," Cao Youning said.

"No, no, this matter is not as simple as what you said." Qin Ci put away his poison test needle, and covered the bottle of poisonous hot sauce with a cloth towel. "The person in charge just now passed the inspection. Another case was brought up, that Xia Yu died the night before, but the murder weapon on his body was brought in from the outside world, this matter is very outrageous."

"The time in this world is very chaotic, and I suspect that the poisoning of Xi Shengnan is also related to the confusion of time." Shao Ling said.

At this time, the door suddenly opened, and the brigade officer walked in with a few of his subordinates: "Do you have anything to explain to the relatives? If not, we are going to move the corpse into the coffin."

Many things have not come to light, but Xi Shengnan must be buried in the ground, even if it is permafrost.

No one raised any objections.

Qin Ci handed the bottle of poisonous hot sauce to the brigade officer: "...that's all we can provide, just like we don't understand why someone poisoned Xi Shengnan to death, and we don't believe that Xi Shengnan will treat Xia Yu... really can't think of a motive for committing the crime."

The expression of the brigade officer has always maintained a subtle sense of alienation: "No one can tell what happened after the lights were turned off. I have already asked Mr. Wu of this brigade, and he speculated that it was a man who poisoned Xi Shengnan, and that man also There will be retribution."

This sentence is very informative, enough to take a long time to digest.

"Aren't you going to send off your companions? Then come together." The brigade officer walked out of the room first after saying this.

Several subordinates carried Xi Shengnan's body out of the room. A crystal coffin was placed in the corridor, and the body was slowly put into the crystal coffin.

Everyone followed Xi Shengnan's coffin and walked slowly forward.

Qin Ci walked beside Mu Yiran, and asked in a low voice: "Xiao Mu, you are a little silent today, what did you think of?"

Mu Yiran put his mind away, and looked at Qin Ci who was standing beside him: "As far as Xi Shengnan died unexpectedly, our companions were always guarding her, and no outsiders came to watch; but yesterday Xiayu His death was also an untimely death, but it caused a certain amount of panic."

"This... is it because the Chu family has a relatively large sphere of influence?" Qin Ci speculated.

"I hope it's not for this reason, I don't want that Chu family to trouble us," Mu Yiran coughed lightly, "The comparison of the two murder cases just now has only one result, that is, the crime scene is different— —Xi Shengnan died in the room, and Xia Yu died in the square on the second floor."

"You mean to say that the place where people are watching is the crime scene? The crime scene where Xiayu was killed?" Qin Ci became more and more confused, "If this is the case, then the murderer has no chance to show up in public. Kill Xiayu."

"This caters to what the lord said just now. No one can tell what happened after the lights are turned off." Mu Yiran said slowly.

Ke Xun also couldn't help but said: "There is also Mr. Wu, who only expressed his speculation after seeing Xiayu's body, but this time Mr. Wu did not show up. How did he know that the perpetrator was a man?" What about men?"

"Lord Wu is a very mysterious existence in this world. If I guess correctly, they may be able to see through time." Mu Yiran expressed his speculation.

Fang Fei, who was walking aside, heard this, her pace slowed down, thoughtful.

Everyone followed the crystal coffin in front and walked up the steps, and slowly reached the top floor of this inverse journey. Passers-by often stopped to look at this strange funeral procession, but it was just to look at it. After all, other people's Life and death have nothing to do with oneself.

The top floor is a large wooden dome. On the side of the dome, there is a ring of gray glass windows. The brigade officer ordered someone to open one window, and the biting cold wind blew in, as if it could blow everything here at any time. Frozen into ice sculptures.

"Let's hang the coffin. After freezing, everything will be clean." The brigade officer carried out the funeral ceremony with a serious expression.

Several funeral directors tied the crystal coffin with strong ropes and carefully prepared to lift it out of the window.

Lu Heng suddenly became a little out of control. He had been dazed and sluggish like a wandering soul just now, and now he suddenly rushed to the crystal coffin: "I don't believe that Sheng Nan is dead! I don't believe it! She is still so young, she is not yet 30 years old !"

The brigade officer's gaze became sharp: "You'd better keep your mouth shut and talk nonsense about these taboo words, I will order you to be frozen into the ground together with her."

Cao Yongning and Mai Peng hurriedly pulled Lu Heng aside.

"Lu Heng, we don't want to see today's situation," Du Lingyu comforted, "The more important thing now is to live well and find out the cause of Sister Xi's death."

Hearing this, Lu Heng eased his struggle, but there was nothing but emptiness in his eyes.

Due to the opening of the window, the top floor of the entire light brigade was extremely cold. Du Lingyu put on the cotton cap behind the cotton robe, wrapped himself up tightly, and boldly walked towards the window where the coffin came out.

The crystal coffin was sent down steadily, and Xi Shengnan's blackened face was gradually covered by the rapidly gathering ice crystals on the surface of the crystal coffin, from hazy to completely invisible.

The rope was passed down slowly, at a constant speed, as if some kind of precision instrument was operating, making one believe that the coffin would never fall due to imbalance.

Du Lingyu felt a piercing coldness on her face, only then did she realize that there were still snowflakes floating outside, she didn't dare to lean out from the window to look out, so she huddled between Ke Xun and Weidong, Standing on tiptoe, I looked at the slowly sinking crystal coffin outside.

The headache and tinnitus came again, and Du Lingyu even felt his eyesight blurred. If he hadn't been continuously stimulated by the biting cold wind, he might faint here.

"Xiao Du, are you alright?" Ke Xun noticed Du Lingyu's strangeness, and Wei Dong helped Du Lingyu's fainting body in time.

"I don't know what's wrong, I felt like I was hallucinating just now," Du Lingyu looked at Ke Xun and Wei Dong, whose eyebrows and bangs were blown into snow white, and felt that these two people suddenly turned into a ghost in a few minutes. The gray-haired old man.

Du Lingyu was sweating coldly, she felt her teeth chattering, Ke Xun and Weidong helped her to a position away from the window.

"It's too cold outside, at least [-] to [-] degrees below zero." Wei Dong wiped his frost-covered eyebrows, "I guess you're going to faint from the cold."

But Ke Xun looked at Du Lingyu seriously: "What was your hallucination just now?"

Du Lingyu paused, the phantom just now seemed to still appear in front of her eyes, she stared into her dazed eyes, and murmured: "I saw that there are more than a dozen pairs of coffins hanging under Sister Xi's crystal coffin." The coffins, lined up neatly in a vertical row... There are so many coffins, they look like a train... It's terrible, it's really terrible..."

Wei Dong and Ke Xun looked at each other, and could only pat Du Lingyu's shoulder lightly at this moment: "Don't be afraid, it's white outside, it's easy to have hallucinations."

Ke Xun knew that the following questions might be cruel, but he still wanted to take advantage of Du Lingyu's clear memory at this time to ask what he wanted to ask: "About how many coffins are there?"

Du Lingyu shivered and recalled: "Fifteen... No, maybe less than fifteen, I didn't count, probably..."

"The thirteenth officer?" Wei Dong heard himself ask this terrible answer.

Du Lingyu glanced blankly at Weidong: "Probably, about twelve or three."

"Are all the coffins exactly the same?"

"It's exactly the same, but because of the distance, I can't see the inside..." Du Lingyu was surprised, he was trying to observe in a terrible hallucination just now, "It's not over yet, later, I heard the scissors click by my ear sound, and then the bottom coffin fell down."

This hallucination is so terrifying that even Wei Dong's liver trembles when he hears it.

Ke Xun held Du Lingyu's hand tightly, trying to calm him down: "What happens after you fall?"

"After that, there was another click, the sound was very clear and loud, and then the penultimate coffin also fell...and fell into the abyss below, a gray abyss where you can't see anything..." Du Lingyu subconsciously Cover your ears.

Wei Dong didn't know what to do now, he just opened his arms and embraced Du Lingyu like a comrade in arms, trying to give him some warmth and strength.

And Ke Xun has already walked to the brigade officer: "Excuse me, my lord, what is the burial ceremony like? This is the first time for me to attend the funeral of a relative or friend."

The brigade officer glanced at Ke Xun calmly: "Cut the rope with golden scissors, and the crystal coffin will fall into the frozen soil by itself. That is the real peace of mind."

Ke Xun's heart trembled, he didn't expect that the facts and Du Lingyu's hallucinations had such a real coincidence.

"But, but she is still very young." Ke Xun's voice was regretful, but his eyes kept looking at the brigade officer.

"Reincarnation is fair to everyone, and death is the real consummation." The brigade officer showed a faint smile, "By the way, the magnifying glass has been prepared for you. In order to prevent the occurrence of vicious incidents later, it is best to Make sense of that medical book as soon as possible."
