Chapter Twenty-Seven: House of Mirrors
Pan Feng's words surprised the three of them, and the torture technique immediately said: "Pan Feng, there is no need for this!" You're not that kind of person, I know you have something you want us to know, let the police know, you can say it now, don't be wrong again and again. [Ran^Text^Library] []. [774] [buy]. [com]β
Pan Feng looked at the torture technique, raised the crossbow in his hand, and pointed to the bead that Hu Sanqian blocked with a coffin nail in front of him and said: "That bead is the Rulai Eye that the Zhuyu Society has been looking for, the real Rulai Eye, the three of you are all experts, you can identify it now, this is a sincerity of my invitation to participate in the game." β
Hu Sanqian didn't step forward, but just asked, "What do you want to do?" β
"The game is very simple, after you leave this passage, you will enter a room, there is a telephone in the room, this phone is connected to the city phone line, you can use it to contact the outside, I give you a chance, let you work with the police outside to figure out the reason for my killing, and then find a way to get out of that room." Pan Feng said, pointing to his wrist again, "But you should be glad that I won't give you a time limit, anyway, after so many years, I don't care about spending more time." β
He Chenxue opened his mouth at this time: "Pan Feng, even if it's a game, you have to give some clues, right?" β
"Okay, for the sake of this young lady, I'll give you a clue, there is only one keyword, and that is 'drawing'." After speaking, Pan Feng turned around and left, Hu Sanqian immediately squatted hard and chased after him, while the torture technique went straight forward to pick up the Rulai Eye that was blocked by the coffin nail.
When Hu Sanqian chased to the corner in front of him, his toes touched a cylinder, the cylinder was still smoking, he realized that it was not good, and immediately turned around and threw himself backwards, and then the cylinder sparked, spinning in place, and after the rotation was completed, billowing white smoke came out.
Hu Sanqian slowly got up, looked at the cylinder that had quickly released the white smoke, and knew that it was just a small firework, which Pan Feng deliberately used to hinder him, it seemed that this person named Pan Feng didn't really want to hurt them.
The torture technique handed the Rulai eye to He Chenxue, and he picked up the crossbow arrow that Hu Sanqian had blocked before, and found that the original arrow had been cut off, and a sponge was wrapped in cloth at the front end, and the outside was wrapped twice with transparent glue.
"I don't know if it's a nyorai, and I haven't seen a real nyorai, but it's a good jade pearl." He Chenxue shone it with a flashlight and looked at it closely, "Why is it in Pan Feng's hand?" β
Torture threw down the crossbow arrow: "I should ask, where did Pan Feng get it, this matter seems simple, but in fact, because of the appearance of Rulai Eye, it has become more complicated, it seems that either the inner ghost of the Jade Casting Society handed over this bead to Pan Feng, or the bead was originally left in the peerless building and was found by Pan Feng, of course, there is also a possibility that this bead was found by Ma Fei and handed over to Pan Feng, I can now be 100% sure that Ma Fei was involved in this matter, as before, behind the scenes." β
He Chenxue put Rulai Eye into his bag: "You mean, Ma Fei is still testing us?" β
"I don't know, this woman is strange and surprisingly cautious." Xingshu said, looking at Hu Sanqian who was squatting over, "Sanqian, how is it?" β
Hu Sanqian said: "Less than twenty meters in front of the corner, there is a strange room with a lamp in it. β
Xingshu and He Chenxue glanced at each other, and then Xingshu said, "Let's go, go and have a look." β
Hu Sanqian turned around and led the way in front, followed by Xingshu and He Chenxue, walked around the corner, walked forward about twenty meters, jumped from the window-like position, and landed in the rectangular room.
The torture technique turned off the flashlight, looking at this room full of mirrors up and down, front, back, left and right, he suddenly felt a little dizzy, Hu Sanqian also subconsciously closed his eyes, because once he stayed in this kind of room for a long time, even if it was only for a few minutes, he would not be able to distinguish the direction, and at the same time, the confusion of consciousness would give him the illusion of abnormal gravity here, so that he would fall and not even be able to get up in a short time.
However, here, He Chenxue, who couldn't see clearly in the distance, didn't have much effect, she turned her head and said, "Torture, you and Sanqian will rest first." β
The torture technique nodded helplessly, and Hu Sanqian simply pulled out two translucent silk scarves at this time and tied them with the torture technique, only in this way would he avoid dizziness and nausea caused by vision.
When Xingshu and Hu Sanqian finally felt better, He Chenxue walked to the middle of the room, pointed to the floor lamp in front of him that was erected with something similar to a tube, and said, "This room is so strange, how can there be a light bulb?" Someone must have remodeled it, right? β
Hu Sanqian walked to the wall, touched the so-called mirror wall with his hand, knocked it again, and said: "Yes, it has been rebuilt, but it is only a part, for example, this wall is not a modern mirror, it is polished out of crystal, and it is a volcanic rock crystal, not a sedimentary rock crystal, after these crystals, it should be obsidian." β
The torture technique also stepped forward and touched: "Three thousand, judging from the touch, it is indeed a crystal, but how can you tell that this is a volcanic rock crystal, not a sedimentary rock?" Besides, just by looking and touching, you can't know that there is obsidian behind it, right? β
"That's right." He Chenxue also stepped forward to touch it, "I can't judge, because these polished crystals have no relative transparency, and I can't see the things behind them clearly." β
Hu Sanqian shook his head: "No, I didn't see it, but I saw something similar." β
The torturer immediately asked, "Is it?" Where is it? β
Hu Sanqian said: "Before my father passed away, a friend came to him with a 'magic mirror', but he had never seen it, the 'magic mirror' was unearthed from Jilin, it was once the magic weapon of the northern indigenous sΓ©ance witch shaman, there are records in the past classics - the sΓ©ance of the witch is called the shaman, the hat is like a child's hair, the edge of the eaves hangs five-color strips, the long cover face, two small mirrors hanging outside, such as two eyes, wearing a silk cloth skirt, the drum is hot, and the dance should be carried out in response to the season. β
After speaking, Hu Sanqian gestured and said: "There should be two magic mirrors, but they should be bronze mirrors, but my father's best friend did bring two mirrors similar to modern times, but after testing, they found that the thing was indeed an antiquity, not a modern thing, and then they were forced to test it, and found that it was made of obsidian and volcanic rock crystal, but in the end, it was also found that the shaman's tomb was 'cursed', this so-called ' The magic mirror' is actually used to suppress the dead shaman, so as not to harm him to the world, but as for why, it has not been found out, it is estimated that it should be related to this method of making mirrors, just imagine, in the era when everyone was still using bows and arrows, suddenly someone took out a rifle, the bow and arrow shot fifty or a hundred steps, and the distance of the rifle bullet is several times that of the bow and arrow, people will definitely think that it is witchcraft, and the mirror is the same. β
He Chenxue looked around and said: "In this room, in addition to light bulbs, there are also tables, beds, and cabinets, these things I touched before, at most, they are things from the past few decades, they can't be antiquities, it seems that someone found this place and simply lived here." β
"No, it's hiding here." Torture looked around through the translucent scarf, "No one would want to live in this kind of place, normal people will definitely go crazy when they face such an environment every day, unless they ......"
He Chenxue suddenly said: "Unless this person is similar to me, has a problem with his eyes, or is he just blind?" β
Hu Sanqian looked around and said, "Yes, there is only this possibility, because of this place, even a madman can't stay." β
Hu Sanqian asked at this time: "Where is the phone?" β
He Chenxue shook her head: "I don't know, I can't see it, and I haven't touched it." β
Torture walked along the corner: "Let's look separately, there are not many furnishings here, we should be able to find it." β
The three of them looked around, and He Chenxue finally found an old-fashioned turntable phone under the table, the phone was hung under the table, she took the phone off the hook, carefully twitched the phone line, and then put it on the table.
Xingshu picked up the microphone and carefully put it to his ear, and when he was close to his ear, he heard a strange and sharp laugh on the phone, which startled Xingshu, and subconsciously took the microphone away and put it in front of his eyes to watch.
Because the laughter in the microphone was too loud and weird, He Chenxue and Hu Sanqian next to him heard it and were also taken aback.
He Chenxue hurriedly asked, "What is it?" β
Xingshu shook his head: "I don't know, someone is laughing, and it doesn't sound like Pan Feng." β
Hu Sanqian picked up the phone, but at this time he only heard the busy tone of the phone, so he had to shake his head and say: "There is no sound, don't care about it so much, try to dial it out." β
Xingshu picked up the phone: "Just now Pan Feng said that if we have a chance to investigate the reason for his murder with the police, I think this call can only be made to Fu Mingwei." As he spoke, when the torturer was about to turn the dial, the turntable suddenly turned around by itself, and then reset, and at the same time as the reset, the torture technique heard the sound of the phone dialing out, followed by the waiting sound.
Xingshu held the microphone and said, "The phone was dialed out by itself!" β
"What?" He Chenxue was stunned, "Did you dial it out yourself?" β
Hu Sanqian squatted on the side of the table and looked at the phone from the side: "This phone should be a trick, and you can only dial a predetermined number." β
Xingshu nodded, and just as he was about to speak, the phone was connected, and Fu Mingwei's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Hello." β
"Officer Fu, it's me, I'm a torturer." Xingshu took the phone and looked at He Chenxue on the other side.
Fu Mingwei on the other side was surprised: "Torture!?" Where are you? β
As he spoke, Fu Mingwei subconsciously took the phone away, looked at the words "unknown number" on the phone number, and then brought it to his ear: "Where are you?" β
Xingshu looked around: "Specifically, my current position is underground, I don't know how many meters it is, and I don't know what the specific location is, because we have been crawling in an underground passage for a long time, and we only know that the approximate location of the previous passage should be under the peerless building, but now I am not sure." β
Hu Sanqian said beside him: "Now we are not under the peerless building, when we crawled in the passage before, I calculated the approximate distance, at least nearly a hundred meters away from the peerless building, this is just speculation, after all, we can't discern the direction." β
Hu Sanqian said and took out the compass and pointed to the fixed pointer on it: "The compass is completely useless here. β
"You hear me." Xingshu sighed and said, "Officer Fu, we have been chasing Pan Feng all the way, and now a friend of mine has fallen into the hands of Pan Feng, he said that he wants to play a game with us, let us cooperate with you to investigate the reason for his killing, otherwise, my friend will be killed by him, of course, he also said that if he kills my friend, he will also die, as a repayment." β
Fu Mingwei heard it in a fog, and the torture technique had to tell what happened before, and half an hour had passed. He Chenxue was physically exhausted, leaned on one side and closed his eyes to rest, who knew that he would fall asleep, and Hu Sanqian also took advantage of this time to take a nap to maintain his strength.
ββ¦β¦ Yes, now we're in a very weird room, surrounded by mirrors, all mirrors, and if it weren't for the veil to cover my eyes, I'm afraid I'd have fainted. Holding the microphone against the table, he wanted to smoke a cigarette to refresh himself, but immediately dismissed the idea, smoking in such an enclosed space was tantamount to suicide.
Fu Mingwei didn't know what to say over there, because if it weren't for all that the torture technique had told him, he would definitely think that the underground passages, the secret doors, and the stone pillars in the chimney-shaped deep wells mentioned by the torture techniques were all someone's fantasies.
The torture technique pinched the bridge of his nose and said: "These things have nothing to do with you, and I hope you don't report them for the time being, now the primary problem is the reason for Pan Feng's killing, by the way, I thought of the special school that Pan Feng studied before, you should go and investigate." β
"I'm outside the orphanage right now, I've done a preliminary investigation, guess what I found?" Fu Mingwei, who was standing under the street lamp, looked at the street, and Dong Guozhi, who drove back to pick up things, had not yet returned.
"I don't know. β
Fu Mingwei then told him what he had found, and immediately said after hearing this: "Then this orphanage must be 100% problematic, and there is no need to run, if it is simply those four people who are related, it is reasonable, but even Ji Dewu used to be a student here, so it is basically equivalent to telling us that the final focus should be on the Yulan Orphanage and the special school." β
"That's right, and there is one more thing, after I found out that Ji Dewu was related to here, I suddenly realized that I asked them to transfer Qi Baye's file, and it turned out that Qi Baye also had connections with orphanages and special schools." Fu Mingwei lit another cigarette, in fact, he was so sleepy that he could fall asleep standing now.
Xingshu was surprised: "What connection can Qi Baye have with the orphanage?" β
Fu Mingwei yawned and said, "Do you know that Eighth Master Qi was married before?" β
"I don't know." After the torture was finished, he thought about it carefully, "In the entire antique city, no one knows that he is married, and they all think that he is an old bachelor. β
Fu Mingwei leaned on the lamppole and changed his hand to hold the phone: "It was about ten years ago, Qi Baye married a daughter-in-law from his hometown, his ancestral home is in a place called Daxingtun in Heihe, his daughter-in-law is a child of his parents' fingertips, and is actually a cousin and sister of his." β
"Close relatives?" It was as if the torture technique already knew what was going to happen next.
"Yes, close relatives, after getting married, it didn't take long for the two of them to have a daughter, but what about this child, born with a problem, a little mentally retarded, three years old to walk a little more steady, and the speech is not clear, and then one day, when his daughter-in-law led her daughter to the mall, she lost the child, Qi Baye was mad at the time, called the police, asked friends for help, and almost exhausted all methods, and then because of this incident, Qi Baye and his daughter-in-law divorced, and when they divorced, his daughter-in-law took almost all of Qi Baye's things, It was also Qi Baye's own willingness to give, in fact, Qi Baye didn't have much money at that time. Fu Mingwei said and rubbed his face with his hands and yawned.
When he heard Fu Mingwei's voice, he immediately said, "How long have you not slept?" β
"It won't be long, let's get down to business." After Fu Mingwei finished speaking, he yawned again, he rubbed his eyes, plugged in the headphones, and then felt the wind oil essence and rubbed his temples, "Qi Baye has been looking for her daughter since then, although her daughter is a special child, but it has always been his own birth, he feels responsible, and later he learned that his daughter was abducted and trafficked to the countryside, and later died of acute meningitis." β
When Xingshu heard this, he immediately asked, "But that doesn't mean that he has a connection with the Magnolia Orphanage?" β
"After you listen to me, when he was looking for it, the Yulan Orphanage gave him a lot of help, which made him very moved, and later learned that after her daughter died, he felt extremely guilty, so he often went to the Yulan Orphanage, as well as the special school, and he donated a lot of things to the Yulan Orphanage, these things are recorded in the community where the orphanage is located, and he has also been sent a pennant, and the community file also has it." Fu Mingwei shook his head to keep himself awake, "Also, I found Wang Yulan's husband Ding Wei a little weird, and in addition, the studio has been renovated, and I always feel that something is wrong." β
Xingshu held the phone, closed his eyes and thought for a long time, and suddenly said: "I suddenly remembered something, didn't you ask Wang Yulan, Wang Yulan said that Pan Feng used to be autistic, and he was gradually getting better, but when he was in the third year of high school, he suddenly became serious and evolved into schizotypal autism, as if he had been stimulated by something?" I think maybe the thing that stimulated him had something to do with the orphanage, maybe it had something to do with the studio, and don't forget, in that pencil drawing, the studio was drawn. β
Fu Mingwei nodded: "Yes, I'm still thinking about who the girl in the painting is in the studio, but I now feel that it is a bit shocking to question Wang Yulan directly." β
Xingshu said: "I'll give you a suggestion, don't ask Wang Yulan, you can talk to Ding Wei alone." β
Fu Mingwei said: "I also thought about it, but I didn't think about how to ask it specifically, anyway, starting tonight, I have to start staring here, I'm a little sleepy, when the national title comes back, I'll sleep for a while, I can't hold it anymore." β
"Okay, you can rest first, I have to rest too." Xingshu glanced at He Chenxue and Hu Sanqian, who were asleep next to them, "I have to sleep too, otherwise there is no way to continue." β
"Okay, stay safe yourselves." Fu Mingwei said, "But I have to ask you, how long are you enough to bring food, drink and other things now?" β
"Five days." The torture answered immediately.
"Good!" Fu Mingwei looked at Dong Guozhi's car in the distance and drove over slowly, "Three days, if you don't come out after three days, I will let Instructor Yan take me down, and I will take someone to rescue you." β
After speaking, Fu Mingwei hung up the phone, waited for the car to arrive, and said directly, "You stare first, wake me up in two hours", and then lay in the back seat and fell asleep with his eyes closed.
But at this time, he was about to put down the microphone for torture, but he heard Pan Feng's voice on the phone: "Mr. Xing, are your parents good to you?" β
