Chapter 218: The Man in the Painting
"Smashed the statue?" I was stunned for a moment when I heard this, and felt that there was something wrong, even if it was a prank, it was impossible to joke about someone who had died.
My brother told her to continue.
She continued: "The weirder thing is still to come, I went to the living room to pick up my grandmother's picture, but when I looked up and saw the painting on the wall, it seemed to have changed differently. ”
"Originally, this painting depicted a boy in his twenties, standing in place holding his guitar, all black, but when I looked up, I saw that the guitar in his hand had fallen to the ground, and the whole person looked out with a very strange expression, as if he had been staring at me."
"I really had no choice but to call my best friend Rong Rong for help the next day, and she pulled me into a strange forum, saying that I could solve it by looking for you..."
When I heard this, I probably heard a meaning, but I wasn't worried about what was going on, but what made me really curious was where the painting came from.
I thought about it and asked her, "Miss Tang, you just said that this painting was sold to you by an old man, right?" ”
"Yes." She nodded, and my brother and I looked at each other, feeling a little uneasy, and frowned, "Personally, I think the problem is not in that painting, but in the person who sells the painting." ”
"Huh? That old man, you say? She sounded extremely surprised: "What's wrong with him?" I haven't seen him since. ”
"What's the problem, we don't speak, or else, can you take us to see the paintings?"
"I brought the painting, right in the car." As she spoke, she got up and said, "Come with me." ”
We didn't talk nonsense, we just followed Miss Tang and left the café, came outside, and saw a brand-new BMW parked on the side of the road.
She opened the car door and sat down, and the two of us followed to the back, and as soon as we got up, we saw a man in the driver's seat, also wearing sunglasses and a suit, looking handsome and chic.
He didn't look back, and I couldn't see what it looked like, but I could feel him looking at us through the rearview mirror.
"Wu Meng, what about the painting?" Miss Tang sat in the co-pilot and asked the man.
The man nodded, then got out of the car, went to the trunk, and took the painting out.
Taking advantage of his absence, my brother hurriedly asked, "Miss Tang, is this your boyfriend?" ”
Miss Tang was stunned for a moment when asked, then smiled lightly, shook her head, and said, "It's my bodyguard." ”
"Bodyguards? I think eighty percent are little lovers. The fat boy squatted on my shoulder, and when she said this, his tone became disdainful, and then reminded me: "Old picture, I can remind you that people like celebrity public relations are not easy to serve, and there are many things to do, and it is often thankless for ordinary people like you, but don't get yourself into any trouble." ”
I thought to myself that it wouldn't be, Miss Tang is a public figure, even for the sake of her own image, she won't do anything out of the ordinary, besides, she is now entangled in these strange things, I'm afraid it will be difficult for her to protect herself.
The man named Wu Meng handed over the painting, then sat in the driver's seat and did not move, and did not say a word from beginning to end.
"This is the painting." Miss Tang spread out the painting to show us, and said in an uneasy tone: "A few days ago, I swore that the guitar on the painting was still in his hand, but now I don't know how..."
As she spoke, my brother and I looked down at the painting, which was very simple, with lines similar to stick figures, but with what seemed to be ink.
The painting shows a boy with a guitar at his feet, which appears to be cracked and has many marks.
That's all there is to the painting, but the scariest thing is not the appearance of the painting, but the expression of the boy.
The corners of his mouth cracked slightly, he couldn't tell whether he was smiling, or expressionless, as if the ink was used too much at the corners of his mouth, it looked extremely weird, and his eyes were even more lifeless, although it was just a stick figure, but looking at his expression, it made people feel uneasy, and his back was a little cold.
"The more I look at this painting, the more strange I feel, but I can't tell what is strange." My brother looked at it for a long time, his brows furrowed more and more, and finally took out his mobile phone to take a picture of the painting, and then asked, "Miss Tang, take a closer look, do you know the boy in the painting?" ”
When she heard this, she hurriedly came over to take a look, and took off her sunglasses and mask, and as soon as she took them off, I immediately recognized who she was.
First of all, her name itself is not surnamed Tang, it should be compiled for safety, and secondly, she is indeed a singer, and she is a very famous singer, at least I have heard her songs.
Seeing that it was her, I was still quite shocked, she saw the surprise in my eyes, chuckled, and said, "I said that I can't take off my mask and sunglasses, now do you believe it?" ”
"Believed, but... I never thought that this kind of thing would happen to you celebrities. "To be honest, I still find it incredible.
"Celebrities are also people, and it's not surprising to encounter these things." As she spoke, she went to look at the boy on the painting, looked at it for a long time, and finally shook her head and said, "I don't know." ”
"That's weird, the old man said it was painted just for you, it was a boy playing guitar, what the hell does that mean?" My brother's tone became more and more confused, and he lowered his head and began to think.
I was also at a loss for the time being, and was thinking about what to do, when the man in front of me, Wu Meng, suddenly spoke, and said in a disdainful tone: "Miss Tang, I told you a long time ago, it is useless to find this kind of charlatan, what can they see?" It's all here to cheat money, let's stop wasting time and think of other ways. ”
He said that he was going to collect the painting, but my brother grabbed his hand on the spot, and his tone became cold: "Is this Miss Tang's business or your business?" Is it your turn to interject with a bodyguard? ”
My brother suddenly said in such an impulsive tone, Miss Tang and Wu Meng were stunned, I was also stunned, and hurriedly pulled away my brother's hand, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, my brother's temper is like this." ”
"Look at who you're looking for! It's just some ruffian hooligan charlatan! Wu Meng was angered by my brother and scolded angrily.
"I..." Miss Tang will be in a dilemma, she doesn't know what to say, so she can only ask my brother: "Master, do you have any way to solve it?" ”
"Eat one bite at a time, and do everything one by one." My brother stared at the painting and said unhurriedly: "You take the painting back first, we will investigate the investigation first, and contact you when the time comes." ”
After saying that, he pushed the car door and left, and when I saw this, I was anxious and hurriedly followed, leaving the two people in the car with angry expressions.
"Brother... That's not good. I followed him and said carefully, "Let's just leave so suddenly, and you don't call me, I..."
"You're not a kid anymore, and you can't even get out of the car to call you?" He suddenly replied coldly, his tone was a little cold, and I was stunned on the spot as if I had been struck by lightning, and I couldn't say what I wanted to say, so I could only follow him silently.
"Find someone to help find out who this boy really is." My brother looked at the photo on his phone, his brows furrowed, and he didn't know if he was talking to me.
"But we... Who to look for? There's no one to help now—" I whispered to the side, feeling a little frightened that he would be angry at me again.
"Why no one? What about the sheriff before? "My brother didn't look at me, he just looked at the photo and said.
"Sheriff?" I was a little dazed by the question, but I quickly reacted and suddenly realized: "You said that the previous Zhang team, the person who gave me the medal, is he willing to help?" ”
"You just call and ask." He put away his phone and got into the RV, not looking at me from beginning to end, he was really getting colder and colder since the last killing.
I sat in the co-pilot, and the faceless man saw that we were back, greeted us and asked, "It's back, how are things going?" ”
As a result, no one paid attention to it, and the faceless man was bored with himself, so he continued to write a book.
I hurriedly turned on my phone, found Team Zhang's contact information, and called.
I really haven't been in touch with this sheriff for a while, and I don't know if I remember me.
After a while, the phone was connected, and a calm voice came: "Hey? What's up? ”
"Team Zhang, it's me, I'm..."
"I know who you are, what the hell is going on?"
"Hehe, Team Zhang, you have a really good memory." I praised it first, and then said: "I called this time, I have a very small matter I want to trouble you, can you help me find someone?" ”
