In the dining room behind the red exhibition hall, Ling Yu and Han Mo were sitting on the red sofa, and Wen Ya had now followed Chu Ming into the secret passage behind the bookshelf.

Fang Cai Ling Yu asked Han Mo about Wen Ya. Han Mo said to Wen Ya that it was related to an incident fifteen years ago. That was also the first time Han Mo had seen Wen Ya. At that time, Han Mo was just eighteen years old, and this year he is only thirty-three, many years older than gentle. But the two of them now look like a good match together. Fifteen years ago, the young Han Mo graduated from the police academy ahead of schedule with his outstanding ability.

Ling Yu looked at Han Mo now, and the moving expression on his face seemed to bring him back to fifteen years ago, allowing him to see his young self at that time, just becoming an adult, like a hairy boy.

"Fifteen years ago, I just graduated from the police academy, and I just stepped into the society when I encountered the first case in my criminal police career."

"It's related to the gentle-minded father." Ling Yu asked Han Mo.

"That's right, fifteen years ago, Wen Ya's father was suspected of illegally killing national protected animals, and according to the orders of my superiors, I went to arrest him."

"Did you catch him at the end?"

"Nope!" Han Mo shook his head and continued, "When we received the news and arrived at Wenya's father's house, he had already left, and Wenya was the only one left in the house, and there were those terrifying scenes. ”

"What is it?" Ling Yu listened carefully.

Han Mo continued, "When we came to Wen Ya's house, his father had already left, and in the house, Wen Ya was sitting on the ground with her head in her arms, that was the first time I saw her, her small figure, like a little girl who had been bullied, had no support, she could only bury her head in her knees alone, giving herself weak protection. ”

"And the scene in the room is even more terrifying, the whole room smells of rotting corpses, the remains of several owls are abandoned on the ground, their blood stains the floor of the room all red, those owls who fell to the ground, some still have a faint breath, but soon in the next moment, they lost their lives forever, those owls who left on the edge of pain, they did not close their eyes, looked directly at Wenya, the little girl who did not dare to show her head."

"Some owls have been made into taxidermies, and some of them have been put into bags in a mess, and after a while, the only life form left in the whole room, except for us, is the little girl sitting on the ground, gentle!"

"And then? Have you found your urbane father? Ling Yu then asked.

"After we disposed of the corpses of those owls, we took Wenya back, Wenya was only a teenager at that time, she fell asleep after we brought her back, and she had a high fever for several days, and she didn't wake up for several days, during the time when Wenya was in a coma, we also tried to inquire about Wenya's father again, some people said that he was dead, and some people said that he went to a relatively remote place in order to escape from our police, and no one dared to go."

"In short, there are many theories about the whereabouts of Wenya's father, but we have never found Wenya's father, and since the hunting of owls never happened again, we stopped this matter and did not continue to investigate."

"Has Wenya stayed by your side since she woke up?"

"Wen Ya was in a coma for days, you know, when she woke up again, she couldn't remember what had happened before, she only remembered her name, and if there was anything else, it was about the owl."

"When we asked her about owls, there was a look of horror in her eyes, as if she had seen memories that had been haunting her, and she would hold her head and not let herself think about these things, because she had a headache."

"Yes, at that time, a little girl who was only a teenager, saw bloody corpses every day, and the wails of those owls when they were killed, and no one wanted to think of these things." Ling Yu said on Han Mo's side. She could understand the mood of the gentle.

Han Mo continued, "Maybe, she saw those bloody things in her elegant childhood, these are things she didn't want to remember, but just now in the exhibition hall, she saw the corpses of those owls, and for a while, I forgot that my elegant childhood grew up in that environment." ”

"But fortunately, Wenya grew up under your attention, and now she looks like she has a good temperament, and the most important thing is that the two of you are about to get married." Ling Yu said.

"Yes, Wenya has survived the most painful times, and what she can do now is to let her try not to be hurt as much as possible, as for the only regrettable thing, it is that she didn't find Wenya's father, maybe it was really as others said, he died fifteen years ago."

As soon as Han Mo's words fell, a voice suddenly came from the door of the exhibition hall, Han Mo and Ling Yu looked at the direction of the door at the same time, and Qin Jian walked out of the exhibition hall alone.

Ling Yu stepped forward to Qin Jian's side and asked him, "How is it?" Is it still the same? ”

"Hmm." Qin Jian nodded.

"What are you talking about?" Han Mo didn't understand what Qin Jian and Ling Yu meant, so he also stepped forward and asked.

And Qin Jian saw that there were only two people in this room, Ling Yu and Han Mo, and he was a little dazed, "What about the others?" It's just the two of you. ”

"Fei'er hasn't appeared since the morning, Xiao Ran went to Fei'er's room, Chu Ming and they went to the secret passage behind the bookshelf to see if there was any news from Fei'er." Ling Yu explained to Qin Jian like this.

"What did you just say, what is the same?" Han Mo was still asking the question just now.

Ling Yu replied, "In the previous three exhibition halls, each exhibition hall has a famous painting before the 19th century, you know this. ”

"Yes, I know that." Han Mo nodded.

"Then you know that there is some strange smell on it, compared to other famous paintings from the 19th century onwards."

"The smell is familiar to me, but it has a strange smell."

"That's right, that's what we just mentioned." Qin Jian said.

"Did you find anything?" Han Mo then asked Qin Jian.

"Officer Han, I don't think you don't know what it looks like."

After Qin Jian's words fell, Han Mo's two pupils were naturally dilated, and inadvertently, as if he was about to say something fearful

"It smells of blood!"

"That's it!" Ling Yu also said at this time.

"The metal-framed paintings in the only exhibition hall in each exhibition hall are all dated before the 19th century, and they all smell of blood, and today all the famous paintings in this exhibition hall are from before the 19th century, and they all have this smell on them." Ling Yu said as she walked.

"But what I smell on the famous paintings is not only this smell, but also a strange smell." Han Mo said to Ling Yu.

Before Ling Yu could speak, Qin Jian said, "Well, this strange smell is very close to the smell of blood, but it is a little different, although the difference is very small, ordinary people may not be able to smell it, but for us we can smell it." ”

As they spoke, there was a sound of footsteps behind the bookshelf, and the three of them looked in the direction of the bookshelf at the same time, and they had not closed the door since they discovered the secret door behind the bookshelf that day.

In the dark passage, figures emerged little by little, and Chu Ming was the first to come out, followed by Wen Ya and Zhang Xiaoqian.

As soon as Wen Ya came out, she naturally walked to Han Mo's side, and Chu Ming also came to Qin Jian and Ling Yu's side.

"You're out." Chu Ming saw that Qin Jian had already come out.

"Yes, how is it, have you found Yin Fei'er?" Qin Jian also asked Chu Ming.

"No, we have searched the corridors in the dark passage, in the kitchen, and in Ling Qi's room, but we have never found any trace of Yin Fei'er." Chu Ming replied.

"And what about that elevator behind the kitchen?" Qin Jian had already told them about the elevator in the kitchen before, and he didn't know if Yin Fei'er would be there.

"No, we took the elevator out, and we searched around the museum, but we didn't find any."

While talking, it was already noon, and the voice came from the dark passage again, Ling Qi came out of the dark passage, he still didn't speak after he came in, he walked directly to the table, put away the breakfast, and looked at the time, it must have been time to eat at noon.

While Ling Qi was cleaning up the breakfast on the table, Ling Yu asked Ling Qi, "Mr. Ling, have you seen Miss Fei'er?" ”

"Nope." Ling Qi replied coldly, only two simple words.

After that, after Ling Qi cleaned up the breakfast on the table, put it in the basket he was carrying, and was about to leave, when he was suddenly stopped by Qin Jian.

"Wait a minute, Mr. Ling!"

"Is there something wrong? Mr. Qin. Ling Qi turned around and looked at Qin Jian.

"Can you tell me why these paintings smell of blood? And the wailing of the night here in the museum before, and the missing people, if things get to a certain point, this is no longer a game, but a case, and we will interrogate you according to the law. ”。

I saw Ling Qi smile, and then said to Qin Jian, "Mr. Qin, I can't answer the question you said, but what I can guarantee is that I haven't broken the law, there's only so much I can say, it's the fourth day of your visit to the museum, and there are still three days to go, please take advantage of it." After Ling Qi finished speaking, he left the room, he should have gone to prepare lunch.

After Ling Qi left, Qin Jian's mind was still recalling the smell of the famous paintings, mixed with the smell of blood, and the strange smell similar to blood!
