Chapter 106: Discovery of the Mechanism
(October 13) countdown day 78
Goofy slowly unfolded the letterhead -
Goofy:
Good.
In view of your sophisticated network technology and eavesdropping methods, I can only leave you a message in the form of a letter.
If you're reading this letter and that you've cracked the code left by your sister, I guess there will come one day, but I didn't expect you to come so quickly. In addition, there should be Officer Xiao with you, right?
I'm not sure if you're here to arrest me as a murderer, or if it's because ...... You love me.
If it's the latter, it's my honor, but it's also my concern. I'm sorry for everything that happened that day at the Q City train station, in that case, I would have done that if anyone stood in front of me. Well, I mean, my excesses have nothing to do with emotions in times of danger, and I'm sorry if you misunderstood that.
So, can I say that I have no attachment to you? I'd love to say no, but no. Remember when we came out of the cinema that night? We walked along the river, the evening breeze was cool, the night was quiet, I once hoped that the riverbank could extend to the infinite distance, I just held your hand tightly, and walked and walked until the end of the years, no pursuit, no escape, no hatred......
It's so dangerous, I almost fell in love with you. Thankfully, we're not started yet.
I am no longer me, and I have no regrets. I don't deserve to be loved by anyone, well, you know what I mean, right? You know what I'm going to do next, right? Yes, I had to do it, that was my mission and my promise to my sister.
I really hope that you came here to help Officer Xiao arrest me, so that when we meet again and appear as the opposite of good and evil, my heart will feel better.
Please go back, I still have a few things on my mind, and when my wish is fulfilled, maybe I will take the initiative to meet Officer Xiao.
Say goodbye, it's better not to see each other.
Xiaoyi
October 12th
After reading the letter, Gao Fei's heart sank, Yao Xiaoyi indirectly admitted in the letter that the death of the network anchor and the online writer was related to her, as Xiao Feng analyzed, she has no intention of stopping, and will go to the end on this road, until the real murderer behind the death of her sister with a blade.
He suppressed the waves stirred up in his heart, his face was expressionless, and he silently handed the letter to Xiao Feng.
"No, I trust you, if you can tell me, you will tell me." Xiao Feng didn't answer, but patted Gao Fei on the shoulder, turned around and left the study, leaving Gao Fei alone to digest the full thoughts.
On the wall opposite the main entrance of the hall on the first floor, a huge oil painting occupies most of the wall, and the oil painting is the famous Leonardo da Vinci's masterpiece "Mona Lisa".
Xiao Feng stood in front of the oil screen, thoughtful. What he didn't know was that more than 20 days ago and a few days ago, Yao Xiaofei and Yao Xiaoyi had also stood and watched from him.
Xiao Feng did not know the great meaning of Leonardo da Vinci in his masterpieces, but this painting still brought him the most intuitive spiritual shock. Looking at the evil eyes of the person in the painting, he felt a burst of palpitations, and couldn't help but think of Yao Xiaofei's face after his death.
In a freezer in the makeshift morgue of the Castle Peak Police Station, Yao Xiaofei lay there after her death. The left side of her face was badly damaged by the slamming blow to the ground, her cheekbone shattered, and the entire left side of her face was sunk deeply, although it was repaired by a professional beautician, but it could not hide the ugliness and horror of the left side of her face. In stark contrast, the right side of her face is flawless, her makeup is exquisite, her demeanor is serene, and she is stunningly beautiful.
That beautiful and ugly face once brought Xiao Feng a great inner shock. At this moment, facing the mysterious face of the Mona Lisa, he once again felt extremely uncomfortable in his heart.
The corners of Mona Lisa's mouth are slightly upturned, the arc is gentle, it seems to be there or not, it seems to be smiling but not smiling, containing all kinds of emotions, or like a kind mother, looking at a sleeping baby, quiet and elegant, or like a king who despises the world, empty-eyed, cruel and ruthless. In other words, the person in the painting is a mirror, which can reflect the emotional changes of the viewer and reflect it on the expression of the person in the painting.
Staring at the person in the painting like this, Xiao Feng was a little crazy for a while.
"Even if it is not an authentic work, it does not damage the name of the master, and this painting is extraordinary." I don't know when, Gao Fei stood behind Xiao Feng, looking at the oil painting, and couldn't help but sigh, "I always feel that the eyes of the people in this painting are a little different." ”
"Oh?" Xiao Feng took a step closer, took a closer look, but found nothing different, and then touched the eyes of the person in the painting with his fingers, but did not find anything abnormal.
Disappointed, he raised his left hand and brushed his somewhat messy hair, his head involuntarily slowly deviated to the right, and the eyes staring at the person in the painting slowly moved away with the movement of his head.
Then, he froze! It feels like the eyes of the person in the painting are also moving with his gaze!
How is this possible?!
Xiao Feng was shocked and repeated the action just now, and it was really strange. He took a few steps back, slowly swinging his head from side to side, his gaze moving, and unsurprisingly, the eyes of the person in the painting also rolled!
"You're right, there's something wrong with this painting!" Xiao Feng approached again, touched the eyes of the person in the painting with both hands again, and even pressed it, but the expected reaction did not appear.
"Two eyes, press at the same time!" Goofy spoke suddenly, almost shouting.
Xiao Feng had an epiphany, and pressed his left and right index fingers on the two eyes of the person in the painting at the same time, and pressed them gently.
Click!
With the sound of metal lock components colliding, two beams of light shot out from the two eyes of the person in the painting, which happened to hit Xiao Feng's forehead.
Xiao Feng dodged to avoid the beams, and saw that the two beams finally crossed into a point and hit the opposite wall.
The two of them glanced at each other, and almost at the same time walked quickly to the opposite wall, and the point of light hit a palm-sized piece of wood, which was cleverly integrated with the surrounding bricks, and it would be difficult to spot it if it were not for the guidance of the point of light.
If you look closely, you can see that there are 26 capital letters carved on the wooden block.
"These letters must be the password used to open a mechanism." Xiao Feng knocked on the wooden board, and his voice was dull, showing that the wall was not hollowed out.
"To no avail, just 26 letters, their permutations and combinations are an astronomical number, and we don't know the year of the monkey and the month of the monkey to crack it, not to mention that we don't even have the direction to crack the code." Goofy shook his head.
"Maybe we can start with oil painting." Xiao Feng pointed to the oil painting opposite, "The designer of the mechanism must have gotten some kind of inspiration from the oil painting. ”
Goofy nodded repeatedly, took out his laptop he had brought with him, and tapped the keyboard quickly.
