Chapter Seventy-Seven: Painting
Hu Qianqiu looked at the five paintings on the wall, his heart moved, and a thought suddenly came to his mind.
"What are you doing?"
Hu Qianqiu ran downstairs quickly, Yuan Liuli called him, and he didn't stop to talk to him.
Hu Qianqiu stood in front of the wall, stared at the wall carefully for a while, and groped for a while with his palm.
"Sure enough."
"What did you find?"
Hu Qianqiu turned his head to look at Yuan Liuli, who was coming down, and pointed to the wall in front of him, "Look at this." ”
Yuan Liuli looked clearly at the place where Hu Qianqiu's finger was pointing, and found a few small holes in the missing places in the photo.
"It must have been the nail that was originally used to hang the photo, but I don't know who took it along with the photo."
Hu Qianqiu nodded.
"But what does that mean?" Yuan Liuli was a little puzzled.
"How many holes are there?"
Although Yuan Liuli didn't understand what medicine was being sold in Hu Qianqiu's gourd, she still stared at the wall carefully, and soon, her eyes were stunned.
At this time, there were five paintings on the wall, four on the top and one on the bottom, and when Hu Qianqiu saw this wall yesterday, there were seven paintings on the wall, and now the following two are missing, and there should be two holes left by nails, but there are three identical holes on the wall and a row, and each hole corresponds to a painting above.
"What's going on, when we looked at it yesterday, there were only seven paintings, so there was one less painting here at that time?"
Hu Qianqiu nodded, "When we saw the painting on this wall, it was when we came back here after putting our luggage, and at that time, Lin Lao was no longer there. ”
Hu Qianqiu touched the wall and said slowly: "I remember that among the two paintings missing, there is a painting, which is also a beautiful crystal chandelier. ”
When Yuan Liuli heard this, her body shook slightly, and those messages suddenly exploded in her mind and were combined together.
Including Lin Lao, this villa originally had a total of eight people, and one disappeared when Lin Lao died, and now Gao Mingyi is hanging on the crystal chandelier, and the painting related to it is gone.
"You're saying that these paintings correspond to each of us, and if nothing happens to one person, there will be one less painting on the wall?"
Hu Qianqiu nodded, "It should be like this." ”
Yuan Liuli bit her lower lip lightly, "What is the other missing painting?" ”
Hu Qianqiu thought for a while, but before he could speak, Li Ruiyu, who had been standing behind them, suddenly spoke.
"Is there anything strange about this wall?"
Although Hu Qianqiu and Yuan Liuli didn't discuss loudly, they kept standing in front of that wall and whispered, which inevitably attracted Li Ruiyu's attention.
"Strange, I remember there were eight paintings on this wall." Li Ruiyu turned his head to look at Huang Tianhai, "That's the case, right?" ”
Huang Tianhai held on to the ladder lying horizontally on the ground and looked at the wall, "It seems that this is indeed the case." ”
Hu Qianqiu's heart moved, and he hurriedly asked: "Then do you remember the painting hanging on the outermost side of the second row yesterday, what is the painting?" ”
Huang Tianhai shrugged his shoulders, "I didn't pay much attention at that time, how could I remember?" ”
Huang Tianhai touched his chin and thought for a while, "I remember that the painting that originally hung on the outermost part of the second row was a tiger. What does this have to do with the case? ”
When Yuan Liuli and Hu Qianqiu heard this, they glanced at each other at the same time, and they both saw shock in their eyes.
Hu Qianqiu tugged at the corners of his mouth, "It's not just related." ”
Nowadays, it seems that each painting not only corresponds to each person, but when a painting disappears, it corresponds to someone dying in a way that is related to the content of the painting.
Hu Qianqiu looked at Huang Tianhai and Li Ruiyu first, "You just went to find a ladder, did you see Yuan Jing?" ”
Huang Tianhai and Li Ruiyu shook their heads at the same time, and Huang Tianhai said: "Don't talk about people, I haven't even seen a ghost." ”
Hu Qianqiu frowned, this is difficult.
Hu Qianqiu looked up at Lu Xuan, who was standing on the third floor platform at this time, "You can also come down and help find it, maybe something happened to him." ”
"I'm not feeling well, go find it."
After Lu Xuan said this, he went back to the room, Hu Qianqiu was a little helpless, but it was not difficult for him to be strong, sighed, and said: "Let's put the ladder aside first, let's go separately and see where Yuan Jing went." ”
Li Ruiyu also knew that Yuan Jing's sudden disappearance was most likely due to some accident, so he nodded without hesitation, pulled Huang Tianhai and walked out of the villa, "Let's go outside and have a look." ”
Hu Qianqiu nodded, and then remembered something, "When you went out to look for Lin Lao before, did you notice the suspension bridge outside?" ”
Li Ruiyu was stunned for a moment and scratched his head, "I didn't pay attention, at that time, the two of us looked around, but we didn't go to the suspension bridge." ”
Hu Qianqiu nodded, "So that's the case, it's nothing, you go outside to find it, and leave it to us inside." ”
Li Ruiyu answered and went out with Huang Tianhai.
Looking at the backs of the two, Hu Qianqiu fell into contemplation again.
"What's wrong?"
Hu Qianqiu shook his head, "It's nothing, if he is telling the truth, then it is not easy to determine when the suspension bridge was destroyed." ”
"It doesn't make sense to know when the drawbridge was destroyed now."
"That's true," Hu Qianqiu nodded, and at the same time looked in the direction of the villa gate, "How do I feel that the two of them seem to be hiding something." ”
Yuan Liuli looked at Hu Qianqiu's side face, "Actually, this matter has nothing to do with us, and you don't need to work so hard." ”
Hu Qianqiu was stunned for a moment, and turned his head to look at Yuan Liuli, "Didn't you say before that I was unwilling to do my best, and you also framed me and said that I was happy to see them die?" Why are you persuading me not to bother so much now? Do you see that I am too tired and feel sorry for me? ”
"I'm ......" Yuan Liuliqiao blushed and turned her head curtly, "I'm going to find someone." ”
Since he met Yuan Liuli, Hu Qianqiu has hardly seen Yuan Liuli's expression, and he is also a little surprised at this moment, scratching his head, women are really difficult to understand, much more complicated than this treacherous case.
Hu Qianqiu and Yuan Liuli began to search the inside of the villa.
"Strange, what's going on." Hu Qianqiu twisted the doorknob of a room door, tossing for a long time without responding.
"It should be locked, let's change the next one."
"No!" Hu Qianqiu raised his palm and signaled, "I also roughly investigated this place yesterday, this place was originally Lin Lao's room, and yesterday, this room was not locked, and it was able to enter and exit normally." ”
"Could it be that one of them locked the room?"
Hu Qianqiu shook his head, "It's impossible. ”
