Chapter Seventy-Eight: And the Guests
The man named Han Mo in front of him walked up to Ling Yu holding the hand of the woman next to him, looking at the two of them, as if they had known each other before.
"Ling Yu? How did you get here? Could it be said? ”
Han Mo probably wanted to ask Ling Yu if he was invited by Ling Qi, and then came to this museum of the dead with the woman beside him. Ling Yu looked at Han Mo, and then at the woman beside him.
Shu Xiaoran just asked who Han Mo was, and Ling Yu told Shu Xiaoran that Han Mo was also a criminal policeman, but he was not from Chengguang City. Then Ling Yu stepped forward to say hello to this person named Han Mo.
"Yes, judging by the way you look, you must have received an invitation."
"That's right, after reporting to my superiors, my superiors asked me to come and investigate some things."
"What's the matter?" Ling Yu asked Han Mo, could it be that he also took this opportunity to investigate the few people who disappeared before.
However, Han Mo replied:
"I don't know if you've heard of it, at the end of the last century, that is, when the famous painter Jin Xi, the first owner of this museum, was still alive, people often disappeared at that time, and then there was no news, according to the investigation at the time, after arriving at this museum, everything was lost and could not be investigated."
"And because at the end of the last century, technology was far less developed than it is now, so there were no suitable means to continue to go deeper, so those strange things were gradually forgotten by people, but this matter has always attracted the attention of our police department, just when receiving such invitations, take advantage of this opportunity to participate in the event, see if you can find some clues about those strange things at the end of the last century."
"Oh, I see." After speaking, Ling Yu looked at the woman beside Han Mo, and then continued to say to Han Mo: "By the way, who is this young lady?" ”
Ling Yu saw that Han Mo had been holding her hand, and it seemed that the relationship should not be simple. And the woman had been standing in a position behind Han Mo's body, looking a little shy.
"Oh, this is my fiancée, her name is Wenya." Afterwards, Han Mo looked at the woman named Wen Ya behind him and said to her: "Wen Ya, this is Ling Yu, I mentioned to you before, we have worked together, and behind her are her colleagues. ”
After Han Mo finished speaking, Wen Ya took two steps forward and greeted Ling Yu, Chu Ming, Qin Jian, and Shu Xiaoran:
"Hello, my name is Wen Ya, and I am Han Mo's fiancée."
When she spoke, her voice was a little small, it should be the first time she saw Ling Yu and them, and she was not so open. However, Han Mo also understands that his fiancée is not much worse.
Ling Yu looked elegant, in this kind of April day, she was still wearing a coat, there was no sense of heat at all, although the weather was indeed a little cold at the moment, with long curly hair, with a little brown-green, and the bridge of the woman's nose was high, a pair of big eyes, under the thick eyelashes as if it was a virgin, the eyebrows seemed to have been trimmed, and there was no sense of disobedience on the eyelashes.
After Wen Ya finished speaking, she retreated behind Han Mo, looking for protection like a little girl.
Later, Ling Yu and the people behind her also greeted Wen Ya one after another.
After that, Ling Yu looked at the red BMW car that Han Mo had parked next to the museum just now, and then looked at Han Mo:
"I said, Officer Han, are you driving too hard, and you still don't mean to slow down when you cross other people's cars."
After Ling Yu finished speaking, Han Mo remembered that when he was driving on the road just now, he did seem to have scratched something, but because his car was driving too fast, he didn't notice it. I finally took advantage of the opportunity to relax, and naturally I wanted to roll down all the windows and enjoy the pleasure of the wind blowing on my body when driving.
Han Mo hurriedly explained:
"Huh? Just now, when I was driving, I had a little bit of a feeling of rowing to the car, but because I was driving too fast, I didn't notice it, it turned out to be your car, I'm really sorry, Officer Ling, I didn't expect to scratch your car when we met again. ”
Han Mo smiled reluctantly on his face, he really didn't notice this matter.
Then he went on to say to Ling Yu:
"I finally took advantage of this office opportunity to take her out to relax, and we will get married soon, so come out with her in advance, oh yes, when the time comes, you will all come to Hexi Bar, and it can be regarded as an apology for marking your car."
"Really? We're going to get married soon, what a coincidence. Hearing that Han Mo and Wen Ya would get married soon, Chu Ming naturally thought of himself and Shu Xiaoran.
Standing at the door of the museum and chatting, as if ignoring the purpose of his visit this time, Ling Yu and Han Mo walked towards the door of the museum by default, Han Mo took Wen Ya's hand and walked in front, Ling Yu walked behind with his team members to follow them.
Shu Xiaoran walked beside Ling Yu, and asked Ling Yu as she walked:
"Sister Ling Yu, did you know this Han Mo before?"
"Hmm." Ling Yu nodded: "When I wasn't transferred to Chengguang City before, there were some cases that were completed with Han Mo, although Han Mo was not in the same city as me at the time, but sometimes he would cooperate with each other to work if needed. ”
"Uh-huh." Xiao Ran nodded.
In about half a minute, the six of them had arrived at the door of the Museum of the Dead, which was now closed, and there seemed to be a notice on it:
"Recently, due to some things, the museum has been temporarily closed, and the specific business hours are tentative, thank you for your cooperation."
Looking at the content of the notice, I think it was a notice posted specifically to make time for this event. They watched as the doors of the museum were closed, not opened, and the invitation did not say what they needed to do when they arrived at the museum.
In this case, there must be someone who will come to greet you.
Just as they thought of this, the door of the museum creaked, and they looked in the direction of the museum gate together, and then the door of the museum was pushed open, and out of it came a man in a black suit who looked to be in his twenties.
The man walked out of the museum, came to Ling Yu and Han Mo, and then bowed to them, and then said:
"Hello, I'm the caretaker of the museum, my name is Ling Qi!"
"You're Ling Qi?" Ling Yu asked rhetorically.
"Yes, are you all the ones who received the invitation? If you are visiting the museum, I'm sorry that the museum is closed for a few days. Ling Qi was smiling all the time when he spoke, and his attitude was excellent, and he naturally didn't want anything to happen at this time.
Han Mo then replied:
"Hello, my name is Han Mo, and I came with my fiancée after receiving your invitation."
Han Mo said as he took out the invitation from the pocket of his jacket and handed it to Ling Qi. Ling Qi took the invitation letter in Han Mo's hand and opened it to look at it, then nodded.
After Ling Yu saw it, he also took out the invitation he had received from his pocket and handed it to Ling Qi.
Ling Qi also took it and looked at it, and then after returning the invitation letters in his hand to Ling Yu and Han Mo respectively, he said to the two:
"Mr. Han Mo, Miss Ling Yu, welcome to your arrival, I think the one behind you should be the partner who came with you, I hope you can unlock the secret in this event."
After Ling Qi finished speaking, Qin Jian, who was behind Ling Yu, asked Ling Qi, "What is the purpose of letting a few of us come to the museum this time?" What are the secrets inside the museum? ”
Ling Qi replied: "Hehe, this is Mr. Qin Jian, now is not the time to talk about this, come in with me first, and when it's time to say it, I'll say it." ”
"How do you know my name?" Qin Jian was curious.
"If I don't know what your name is, I won't invite you and Miss Ling Yu to come with me." Ling Qi still kept a smile when he was talking to Qin Jian.
Qin Jian didn't speak again, then Ling Qi turned around and walked into the museum, Ling Yu, Han Mo and the others all followed Ling Qi into the museum.
As the last person entered, the door to the museum was closed, and everyone walked as they walked, observing the scene inside the museum. The lights inside the museum are not very bright, and the halls of the whole museum are a little dim.
They were walking in the hall, not knowing where they were going, but the place they were passing through was the main part of the museum, and the whole hall was covered with all kinds of colorful decorations.
Maybe this museum is designed like this, because there are many types of colors, all kinds of artworks have different degrees of color, including a vase with no less than ten warm colors on it, which looks very messy, but it seems to have a pattern in the chaos. Not only vases, but also some paintings, and the colors of famous paintings are also chaotic, mostly abstract.
This should be the artworks and collections of the famous painter Jin Xi when he was still alive in the last century, and it is precisely because of the more colors in this room that the lights are deliberately dimmed, so that people can better appreciate the artworks in the hall.
However, they were only looking at the artworks as they walked, and had not yet come closer, and it seemed that the exact appearance of these works of art would have to be carefully observed after something was announced.
The length of the hall was long, and after walking for a few minutes, they came to a large door at the end of the hall, Ling Qi pushed the door open, and led everyone in, which was like a study and a conference hall.
In the room they had just entered, there were several sofas, and a table with fruit pastries and tea.
They observed that on the couch there was already a man in casual clothes and a notebook in his hand, as if he was jotting down something. After several people walked in, Ling Qi introduced them to them:
"Let me introduce you to Zhang Xiaoqian, a contemporary mystery novelist, who, like you, was also the person invited to this event."
After Ling Qi finished speaking, Zhang Xiaoqian, who was taking notes, got up, put away his notes, looked at the people standing in front of him, smiled at them, and then greeted them:
"Hello, my name is Zhang Xiaoqian."
"Hello, my name is Han Mo, and this is my fiancée Wenya."
"My name is Ling Yu, and this is their colleague, Qin Jian, Chu Ming, and Shu Xiaoran."
After Han Mo and Ling Yu finished introducing them, Wen Ya, Qin Jian and others also greeted Zhang Xiaoqian. Then Ling Yu said to Ling Qi beside him:
"Mr. Ling, now that everyone is here, it should be something to say, right?"
"No, I think you'll have to wait a little bit."
"What?" Han Mo, who was in the front position, muttered to himself.
Ling Qi went on to say:
"Because there's still one last guest yet!"
