Chapter One Hundred and One Iris Crest

Professor Langdon, who didn't know he was being suspicious, looked a little better after stepping out of the elevator.

Fahi asked, "You look nervous, Langdon"

Fahi's words made Langdon even more nervous, as if he had been told the secret of his heart, his face was a little ugly, he took a deep breath, shook his head and did not speak.

After following Fashi into the exhibition hall, Langdon hurriedly found a word to divert the attention of Faxi and William and said, "The big exhibition hall, you found the corpse here."

Fahi frowned and hurriedly asked, "You know that."

Langdon said with a relaxed tone: "I recognize the picture you showed me, the wooden floor on it is like this, my memory is good, I will not be mistaken."

When Langdon saw Sonier's body, he swallowed in horror, "God."

After a quick look at it, Langdon said, "The appearance of Professor Sonier's corpse is that of the Viruts, Leonardo da Vinci's most famous sketch, but why are there five stars painted on his chest?"

Fahi put his hands behind his back and asked, "Does this have any special significance?"

Langdon was a little speechless about Fahi's layman's question, too uninformed, and said helplessly: "Symbols have different meanings in different occasions"

Faxi said solemnly: "Professor, I came to you to want to know the meaning of this symbol here."

"The five-star mang, which is a pagan symbol in the eyes of Christianity, is a very early five-star mang, a symbol of the goddess Venus, representing the feminine half of all things, which is called the sacred feminine symbol in the mouth of religious historians"

Fahi asked, "You mean Sonier drew a female symbol on his chest before he died, ha, why?"

Langdon was speechless, "I don't know, officer"

"Is it?"

"Of course, how do I know why Sonnier did this, I can only tell you what I know, and this is not some devil's prophecy."

Fahi took a fluorescent flashlight and shone it on the ground, only to see some words and numbers appear on the ground, Fahi said to Langdon: "What message do you think the deceased would have written before he died?"

Langdon thought for a moment and said, "Probably the name of the murderer."

"Yes, that's right," Fahi saw as Langdon's face became more and more serious, and he was about to continue, when he heard a voice coming.

"Captain Fahi, sorry to interrupt, I received a photo from the scene, cracked the code, I think the number that Sonier wrote on the floor is the Fibona sequence, so the headquarters sent me to find out the specific situation".

As soon as the words ended, William and the others turned their heads to see a police officer walking quickly with a beautiful girl, coming to Fahi's side and handing him a document.

Fahi took the file that the beauty gave her, looked at it and nodded, "Okay, Officer Sophie, what do you want to know".

Sophie didn't answer Fahey's words and said to Langdon, "I'm sorry, Officer Fahey, please wait, there's an urgent message from headquarters for Professor Langdon"

The beauty smiled and said to Langdon: "I'm Sophie, the French Criminal Police Decoding Section, the American Foreign Affairs Embassy called our headquarters, I'm sorry, the Foreign Affairs Embassy said that this matter is about life and death, Professor Langdon, you'd better answer it now, this is the phone number left by the embassy, and the password is the last three digits"

Langdon took the note suspiciously, heard that it was a matter of life and death, and hurriedly dialed the number on the note and heard it coming from his mobile phone.

The phone was connected, but a voice came from the mobile phone that surprised Langdon, "Professor Langdon, please stay calm, I'm Sophie, please do as I say, your current situation is very dangerous, don't reveal anything to Fahi, he is not looking for you to help."

Faxi looked at Sophie and Langdon with a confused expression, and then at William, who shrugged his shoulders and said he didn't know.

After Fahi told Sophie about the case, Sophie smiled and shook hands with Fahi to say goodbye.

After Sophie left, Langdon said hesitantly: "The embassy said that I had a loved one killed, sorry officer, my brain is messed up right now, can I go to the bathroom?"

When Fahi heard that Langdon's relatives had been killed, and seeing that Langdon looked distracted, he nodded a little embarrassedly and pointed out the direction of the bathroom to Langdon.

"I'll go too, I just want to go to the bathroom", when Langdon answered the phone, William unleashed an invisible amplification magic at Langdon.

Sophie heard what Langdon said clearly, he suspected that Langdon went to the bathroom at this time to escape, and walked up to Langdon with a smile and said, "Let's go, Professor,"

Langdon and William just entered the bathroom and unexpectedly saw Sophie waiting in the bathroom, and when they saw William coming in, Sophie didn't seem to be surprised by this, and asked Langdon directly: "Did you receive a message from Sonier?"

"What are you talking about, you recognized the wrong person, I was invited to consult, why do you say I'm in danger" Langdon said puzzled

"No," Sophie said sternly, "you're being watched, Professor Langdon, Fahi is a straightforward person, he's going to take the suspects to the scene and watch them perform, hoping he'll show himself and be proven guilty on the spot"

Langdon pointed at himself in surprise and asked, "Suspect, me?"

"Yes, Langdon, you can check your pockets," Sophie said, "hurry."

Langdon groped in disbelief, but when he touched the pocket of his coat, his face turned ugly, as he found a GPS locator the size of a fingernail in his pocket.

Sophie took the GPS tracker from Langdon's hand and said, "GPS tracker, this thing can accurately find anyone's location, this is to prevent you from escaping, as for you William Devonhill" Sophie took out two pieces of paper and gave them to Langdon and William respectively, there was a photo on the paper, which seemed to be the invisible words and numbers at the scene of the crime.

Sophie said to William: "When did Sonier find you today?"

"I called Sonnier in the morning and he asked me to meet at the Monica café, after which he went to work and we agreed to meet at the café at 8 p.m.," William said.

"What about you, Professor, what message did Sonjae leave for you, Fahi didn't go to anyone else at all, he went to you and William, William has evidence to clear the suspicion, now only you can't clear the suspicion, tell me what message Sonier left for you, there is not much time left for us, Professor Langdon" Sophie asked

Langdon was dumbfounded when asked, "And who are you?"

Hearing Langdon's words, Sophie said in a low tone and with a little sadness: "Sonier deliberately wrote that line of Fibona sequence, in order to let me, a person from the decoding department, join this case, and your name and the abbreviation of William's name WDS are written at the end to let you join, Professor Langdon, you are an expert in symbols, and you should be looking for you to decipher the secret language."

I don't know why William was brought in, so Mr. Devon Hill, can you explain why Sonnier wants you to join in?"

William looked at the photo in his hand that did have his and Langdon's names on it, and William didn't think long to know why Sonier wanted to join himself, first, to let himself find the secret, and second, Sonier knew that his force value was very high, and he could solve the danger in the search process.

But if William wants to believe Sophie's words with just one line of numbers, William is not so easy to trust people.

"Then you can prove that you are also asked to join by Sonyer, I don't believe it with just one line of columns, Sophie"

"PS, the PS in the photo is talking about me, Sonier is my grandfather, he used to call me Princess Sophie when I was a child, the first letter of the princess is P, and the first letter of Sophie is S"

William and Langdon looked at each other in surprise, and after thinking for a moment, they both nodded, William walked up to Langdon and grabbed Langdon's right hand, examined it carefully on his right hand for a moment, and put Langdon's right palm on his nose and sniffed it.

Professor Langdon's hands were clean and delicate, and he couldn't smell the fireworks after the shooting, and William checked Langdon's left hand again and said, "Well, I believe you for the time being, Professor, at least your hands don't look like people who have shot guns."

Langdon suddenly grabbed William's left hand and looked at the ring on the little finger of William's left hand, "Iris, how can you have this ring, isn't the Xunshan Hermitage a legendary existence?

Sophie also looked at the iris heraldic ring on William's hand, and said busily: "I've seen this ring, and Sonier also has this kind of ring."

Sophie and Langdon looked at William in surprise, "So you and Sonnier are both members of the Xunshan Retreat, which also explains why Sonier met you and asked you to join, God, the Xunshan Retreat is real."
