Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Time of Death

In the museum, Ling Yu and the others stood in the exhibition hall, they looked at the layout of the entire exhibition hall, no one knew what the intention of doing this was, maybe it would be related to the purpose of their invitation. In other words, it is related to the secret left by Jin Xi at the end of the last century.

Especially the famous paintings in the room now, Qin Jian and Ling Yu both put their noses up and smelled them. Regarding this point, Qin Jian two days ago, there was only one famous painting before the nineteenth century in the exhibition hall with many colors, and the same is true for the exhibition hall that was full of famous paintings yesterday, including the current chaotic exhibition hall, the only famous painting before the nineteenth century has always had a strange smell on it, and Ling Yu is also sure that her sense of smell has never been wrong. But this time, even Ling Yu said that the taste on it was a little strange.

On the other side, Han Mo and Wen Ya, the two of them did an investigation of the gap that appeared in the past two days, and the results showed that the same as the previous gap was the difference in the surrounding environment. It seems that the exhibition hall of this museum is really changing every day, but I don't know how long this change will last.

Then there are Yin Fei'er and Zhang Xiaoqian in the center of the exhibition hall, the first feeling of the two of them when they see the exhibition hall is that the entire exhibition hall is too chaotic, and the ground is obviously full of fragments of handicrafts, but no one comes to clean it. Someone like Ling Qi, who prepares breakfast to dinner every day, shouldn't ignore this, unless there's some purpose in doing so.

The left and right people in the exhibition hall stayed in the exhibition hall for about a morning, and soon it was time for lunch, and the group left the exhibition hall and went to the dining room.

As for the previous two days, lunch was already on the table, the tempting food was still steaming, and the drinks were on the table. Just wait for them all to sit on the red couch.

In the position facing the window, the bookshelf with a secret passage is still open, the center of the bookshelves on both sides is still not closed, the empty door also stays there, the back of the empty door is dark, and there is still nothing to see. When they were in the exhibition hall just now, Ling Qi didn't pass through there, and the only thing that connected this room was the corridor where they lived, and the exhibition hall, and in the end, only the secret passage they had just discovered last night was left. Therefore, they deduced that Ling Qi should have just come out of this room.

However, there was another problem in this way, they had also seen Ling Qi bring food in before, but it was not from the back of the bookshelf, and at that time they didn't know what was behind the bookshelf in this room. And they also saw Ling Qi coming in from the exhibition hall with his own eyes. In this way, there may be some other passage besides this secret door that connects the kitchen and the exhibition hall.

And yesterday, when they entered this secret passage, Qin Jian noticed that there was also an electrified password door in the kitchen, with a four-digit password on it, but now I don't know what the password on it is.

They are all eating now, only Qin Jian doesn't have any intention of eating now, he sits on the sofa alone, just drinking the coffee in his hand, he doesn't know how much coffee he has drunk in the past two days, sometimes he can't sleep at night, I don't know if he is thinking about the museum or missing someone.

Sometimes even Qin Jian himself didn't understand this, but now he was very sure that he was thinking about the problem about the coded door in the kitchen, what was the password, what would be behind the door, and whether it would be related to Jin Xi's studio.

"By the way, Fei'er, what about the book you found on the shelf earlier?"

Qin Jian seemed to suddenly think of something, put down the coffee in his hand, and said to Yin Fei'er.

"Inside my room." Yin Fei'er continued: "But I haven't seen it much, do you want to see it?" ”

"You said before that the name of that book is 'One Man's World', right?" Qin Jian then asked.

"Mm-hmm," Yin Fei'er nodded and said, "Do you want to see it?" I'll get it for you now. ”

"I'm sorry for you."

Qin Jian was a little ashamed when he talked to Yin Fei'er, after all, Yin Fei'er hadn't finished eating yet, but he also knew that he couldn't waste a little time at this time, it was the third day they had come to this museum, and there were still four days to go, but they didn't know how many exhibition halls existed in this museum now, if it was the seventh day, the room was still being updated, for them, they might still not be able to unlock the secret left by Jin Xi in the last century. And yesterday, when they found the secret door behind the bookshelf, Yin Fei'er found the only book written by Jin Xi on the bookshelf, called "One Man's World", Qin Jian thought that there might be some important information recorded in it.

Yin Fei'er put down the dining tools in her hand and walked into the corridor, and it didn't take long for her to walk out with a book in her hand, which was still relatively thin compared to the novels that Zhang Xiaoqian and Liu Xuan had written before.

She walked up to Qin Jian and took the book to Qin Jian: "This is it." ”

Qin Jian took the book in Yin Fei'er's hand: "Okay, thank you." ”

"It's fine." Yin Fei'er took the book to Qin Jian and continued to return to her seat to eat.

On the other side of the sofa, Qin Jian, who had just taken the book, immediately opened the book, and didn't even take a closer look at the content on the cover, it was possible that Qin Jian remembered it after taking a look. He is a member of the High IQ Club.

After briefly flipping through the above contents, Qin Jian left his seat and ignored others, just holding the book that Yin Fei'er had just handed over to him. He walked to the front of the bookshelf, in front of the empty door that he couldn't see inside, took out his phone, turned on the flashlight on the phone, and walked into the empty door.

"What are you going to do?" Ling Yu called Qin Jian.

Qin Jian stopped, didn't turn around, just turned his head slightly, and said to Ling Yu: "Suddenly remembered something, go down and take a look, don't worry about me, you can eat first." ”

After speaking, he continued his steps forward, turned on the flashlight on his mobile phone, and walked into the hidden passage that could not be seen.

His shadow became farther and farther away in Ling Yu's sight, and soon his whole body walked down, Ling Yu couldn't fully see Qin Jian, for Qin Jian's point, she may have been used to it for a long time, and she always likes to make herself very mysterious. After completely ignoring Qin Jian, Ling Yu lowered her head and continued to eat alone, but she couldn't control the other party she was thinking about now.

In the dark passage, Qin Jian held "One Man's World" written by Jin Xi in one hand, and held a mobile phone in the other hand, illuminating the road ahead. After walking in the secret passage for about seven or eight minutes, Qin Jian walked to the end of the dark passage steps, the gate that connected to another corridor.

Like yesterday, Qin Jian pushed open the door and walked into the same corridor as his own residence, the lights in the corridor were still very dim, if it weren't for Qin Jian's flashlight in his hand, he could hardly even see the cover of the book clearly.

He lingered in front of Ling Qi's room for a moment, but there was no ring, and then he came to the opposite side of the room, the same kitchen he had entered yesterday.

Pushing open the kitchen door, Qin Jian walked in, there was still some residual heat in the kitchen, and on the stove, there was still some leftover food, it seemed that Ling Qi should have just finished cooking here. But Qin Jian wasn't interested in lunch now. He walked straight to the other door in the kitchen, the iron door with the code.

Qin Jian stood in front of the door, which was still electrified. He opened the book in his hand again, the kitchen light was still relatively bright, he didn't look at the contents, just opened the book and looked at the first page of the book, where there was some introduction to the author. Qin Jian didn't look at anything else, just locked his eyes on Jin Xi's birth time.

According to the books, Jin Xi was born in 1839 and died in 1919, and he lived for a full eighty years, and the time of his death is exactly ninety-nine years from now.

The password on the iron door is a four-digit password, Qin Jian guessed when he sat on the red sofa just now, since this museum is Jin Xi's previous address, then the password may be related to Jin Xi, he has painted too many paintings, so it should not be the time on his famous painting, so the number related to Jin Xi is only his date of birth.

Qin Jian held a tentative mentality, and entered the four-digit code - 1839 on the combination lock next to the iron door. This is Jin Xi's date of birth. It was rumored from outsiders that no one knew Jin Xi's date of birth, and probably they didn't have the opportunity to come to the room where they dined when they came to the museum, so they couldn't find the only book that Jin Xi had ever written. Therefore, Jin Xi's date of birth cannot be found.

Of course, although this book seems to be written by Jin Xi, it seems that it should be compiled by Ling Qi or the previous management here, otherwise it would not be possible to have Jin Xi's death date on it.

Qin Jian's eyes stared at the action of the password door, after he entered the number, a few seconds passed, and the code door did not react, it seemed that his own inference was wrong.

He opened the book again, and suddenly remembered a sentence that Ling Qi had said before. Even if you unlock the code above, it won't help you unlock the secrets of the museum.

The reason why he thought it was Jin Xi's birthday was because he thought that this museum was Jin Xi's residence, and the password might have been set by Jin Xi, so he thought it was Jin Xi's birthday.

But if Ling Qi said this, maybe this password was not set by Jin Xi, if it was set by Ling Qi, what would he set the password into? Qin Jian thought in his mind.

Generally speaking, Ling Qi is the only manager in this museum, and he is working for Jin Xi, so in order to commemorate Jin Xi, the former owner of this place, will he set the password as the time of his death?

Thinking like this, Qin Jian entered the password again, this time entering the time of Jin Xi's death, 1919.

With the input of the password, after a few seconds, the red number on the combination lock turned green, and then there was a "ding dong" sound!
