Outside the Museum of the Dead, the weather was a little shady, and the sun in the sky seemed to be a little afraid to come out, hiding behind the clouds, leaving only a little light on the earth here. The light is dark, not bright.

On the roof, a few jackdaws flew by, leaving behind a few black feathers of their own bodies, as if they corresponded to the colors of the sky. Not far away, there was not a single green sprout on the branch, only the bare branch that had dried up and had no water. With the last bit of tenacious vitality, I stubbornly stayed in this world and breathed the last breath of fresh air.

Inside, the rooms in the museum are brightly lit in every corner of the room. The same shines on everyone's face in the room.

It seems that everyone in the room has no intention of eating, the time has passed twelve o'clock at noon, and the food on the table is also a little cold, Ling Yu is sitting on the red sofa, drinking the coffee in her hand alone, she needs to sort out her thoughts now.

The four paintings that Han Mo said just now, as well as the time above, it is obvious that these four paintings were deliberately taken out, just to serve as a hint, at least Ling Yu thought so.

However, there should also be Han Mo, Zhang Xiaoqian and Yin Fei'er who also have this idea. There are four famous paintings that are not introduced, one of which depicts a pile of books, one of which depicts a shelf, one of which depicts the back of a woman, and the last one depicts three bowls of noodles. And although there is no detailed description of them in their profiles, they all have the same time, 1905.

And now except for Ling Yu, almost everyone is standing in front of the window, and they are not looking at the scenery outside the window where there is almost no sunlight, but at the four bright lights above the four windows.

Time was still ticking, and as they were accustomed to yesterday, they should be able to go to the exhibition hall by now and continue looking for clues. However, almost all the people present are a little famous in the reasoning world, especially the criminal police, and the well-known reasoning game enthusiast Yin Feier, a player who is ranked in the world.

When Chu Ming and the others first heard about this person, Yin Fei'er was still a game enthusiast ranked seventh in the world, but they didn't know what her ranking was now.

Therefore, for them, in the morning, they have almost all the situation in that exhibition hall, and even they have looked at every painting. Now they don't need to go into the exhibition hall again to look for clues, except for some things they haven't discovered yet, or things they haven't understood yet, such as the gap in the circle.

After standing in front of the window for a while, several people then left the position and sat down on the couch. The food is completely cold, and besides, they are not in the mood to eat now, maybe they have eaten a little too much in the morning, or maybe they have a little too much to worry about now.

Everyone was on the couch sharing clues they had observed in the exhibition hall that morning. Chu Ming and Shu Xiaoran sat together, Xiao Ran didn't speak, probably more concerned about the watch he didn't find. It stands to reason that the watch should be lost in the exhibition hall, and it is impossible to lose your watch anywhere else but there.

But I didn't find it in that exhibition hall, unless the room I went to was not the exhibition hall from yesterday, otherwise I would definitely find the watch that Chu Ming gave him.

Unable to understand this, Xiao Ran sat beside Chu Ming and thought about it all the time. And Chu Ming, who was beside Xiao Ran, from the moment he entered the exhibition hall, all his attention was on the famous paintings hanging on the walls.

He should talk about this with Qin Jian.

Just like yesterday, except for the one in front of Qin Jian, all the famous paintings after 1900 were from before 1900.

"The famous paintings on the walls of the exhibition hall are very strange, and only one is special." Chu Ming naturally looked at Qin Jian as he spoke.

After that, Qin Jian then said: "That's right, the painting in front of me is from 1893, and yesterday is the same location, the time on that painting is from 1882, except for these, all the famous paintings are after 1900, judging from the handwriting on the painting, it should be from Jin Xi's hand." ”

After Qin Jian finished speaking, Han Mo, who was sitting opposite Qin Jian, also spoke: "In addition to the famous paintings, there is also a strange thing, that is, the gap between the ground and the wall has appeared since yesterday, and the gap that appears in a museum like this looks quite abrupt, I really don't know what it is used for." ”

Indeed, that gap has been in everyone's eyes since yesterday, and everyone present has been wondering what this gap is for.

On the sofa on the other side, Yin Fei'er and Zhang Xiaoqian sat together, Zhang Xiaoqian never spoke, he was bowing his head and taking down his notes, Yin Fei'er saw that it recorded all the information about the exhibition hall from yesterday to today.

Of course, there is a more important question now, Yin Fei'er looked at everyone sitting on the sofa, and after seeing that they didn't speak, she said: "I think..." Yin Fei'er paused, and after seeing everyone looking at her side, she continued: "Should we think about why all the ornaments in that exhibition hall have changed overnight, which really looks strange, First of all, it is impossible for all of us present to change the furnishings in that exhibition hall in the middle of the night, so Ling Qi is the only one who can change it, but if he is capable alone, it is impossible to do this overnight, so I think this is also doubtful. ”

Yin Fei'er has a point, it is indeed very doubtful about the changes in the exhibition hall, is it not the same room that the exhibition hall yesterday and today? In this case, this brain hole is also too big.

"Isn't this exhibition hall really the same room as yesterday's?" Because he didn't find his watch, Xiao Ran had already begun to suspect that the two rooms were not one, and then he didn't notice that he read this sentence out.

"What did you say?"

Although he was on the opposite side of Xiao Ran, Han Mo still heard what Xiao Ran said.

"Huh?" Xiao Ran didn't seem to realize that he had said that sentence.

"You just said that yesterday's exhibition hall is not the same as today's?" Han Mo expressed Shu Xiaoran's meaning again.

Xiao Ran then said: "Well, this is just a conjecture of mine, because yesterday I remembered that my watch was lost in the exhibition hall, but today it is not there, if Ling Qi picked it up, it should be handed over to me, people like him will not covet this watch in the museum, and there is no one else in this museum except us and Ling Qi, so there should be no one to pick it up." ”

"If this is not the case, and I didn't find it in the exhibition hall this morning, then I can only guess that yesterday's exhibition hall is not the same as today's."

After Shu Xiaoran finished speaking, Han Mo lowered his head, put his chin on his palm, and then propped his elbow on his thigh. Thinking about what Shu Xiaoran said.

He thought about it carefully, it is not impossible to have this possibility, if Xiao Ran's brain hole is true, and this exhibition hall is not the same as yesterday's, it means that there is a secret door in this museum, and the two rooms can be exchanged in secret.

Han Mo once again thought of the sound in the exhibition hall next door that he had heard in the current room last night, and then thought about the gap that had always existed in the exhibition hall. It's not just a simple one, but a seamless connection of the entire museum hall along the walls. Thinking about it like this, a huge brain hole was generated in Han Mo's mind!

According to Shu Xiaoran's speculation, the current exhibition hall is not the same as the exhibition hall last night, if it is excluded that someone changed all the decorations of the exhibition hall at night, then the entire room and the ground have also changed, as well as the walls.

If the exhibition hall outside is regarded as a cube, in addition to the top of the cube, in last night, all the sides and the bottom of the cube were moved, which should be the sound that Han Mo heard next door here at 0:00 last night, and a circle of gaps on the ground can also be explained, the entire exhibition hall is moved along the gaps in the ground, and after the exhibition hall last night followed the gaps, except for the top, after all the sinks, there should be enough space underground, After that, the exhibition hall at the bottom continued to move, and when it moved to the other side, the exhibition hall today moved to the place where the original exhibition hall sank, and then rose upward. This completes the exchange between the two rooms.

These are Han Mo's guesses, if Han Mo's guess is true, it means that there is really a secret passage in this museum, which also explains the fact that there is no kitchen, whether there is a location for Jin Xi's paintings, and Ling Qi's residence.

Han Mo just told everyone what he had guessed in his heart, and most of them agreed with this, and Xiao Ran could understand why his watch was missing, only Han Mo seemed to be drawing something on the note

With the emergence of this conjecture, a new question arises at the same time, if there is really a secret passage in this museum, then where is the entrance to this secret passage?

"Could it have something to do with the four paintings in the exhibition hall?" Ling Yu said suddenly, she had been guessing the content of those paintings, and she seemed to have an answer in her mind.

"Do you know what the four paintings are trying to say?" Qin Jian, who was on Ling Yu's side, asked Ling Yu.

Ling Yu looked at Qin Jian and said, "Yes, I already have a conjecture in my heart, but even if we know what is expressed on these four paintings now, we have no way to find the secret path now." Ling Yu said as she looked at the time of the clock on the wall, it was already half past one in the afternoon.

"Why?" Wen Ya beside Han Mo was a little puzzled.

"Let me tell you."

It was not Ling Yu who spoke, everyone followed the voice and looked over, and the voice made by Zhang Xiaoqian, he picked up the reasoning note in his hand, did not close it, got up from the sofa and walked to everyone's side.
