"Didn't he get involved in the gang after that?" I wondered.

Daria shook her head: "Uncle and I have a very bad relationship, after I took over the brotherhood, he went to the mountains of Siberia, probably to deal with the ore business, and he did not participate in the last few important meetings. ”

"Then we have to go to Siberia to find him? ! Fat Bear shouted.

I answered, "No, I think Uncle Dao and Dean Wei should still be in Moscow. Since President Wei has informed us that we have come to Moscow, there must be something extremely important to explain, so it is impossible for them to go as far as Siberia. After all, Siberia is more than 3,000 kilometers from Moscow and traverses the entire Eurasian continent. ”

"So our trail is broken again?" Wei Yin said disappointedly.

At this time, Daria seemed to suddenly think of something, let us wait for a while, then stood up and walked to the cupboard, took out a lockbox from it, entered the code, and took out a long cloth bag from the box.

Then she walked back to us and said, "Although there is no news from them, more than a month ago, Dao entrusted this to my father. ”

We looked at the long, narrow cloth bag and were filled with curiosity.

"Can you open it and take a look?" I asked.

"Of course, wait a minute." Daria cautiously drew the curtains before opening the bag.

We focused on the sack, and Daria carefully took out a bandaged scroll from it and slowly unfolded it.

All of us were stunned, this picture was the "Soul Map" that recorded the location of the seven soul stars descending on earth!

Now Uncle Dao has combined the two remnants into one, but the picture is still an ordinary terrain of mountains and rivers, and we can't see any mystery.

"When Uncle Dao handed over this painting to your father, did he leave any words?" I asked hurriedly.

Daria shook her head: "He just said that it is not safe to keep it with him, and hopes that his father can keep it safe." ”

Uncle Dao has been in Russia for so many years, although I don't know what he is doing, but I understand that everything he does revolves around this "Soul Map", Princess Luo Li also guided me to come to Uncle Dao, and asked him to tell me what to do next, indicating that Uncle Dao is clear about the things predicted by the soul stars.

He is now hiding this picture in Daria's house, and he must have realized that he was being targeted, and Daria's house was heavily guarded, so he could keep the picture safe......

At this moment, a bold hypothesis suddenly flashed through my mind, and my body trembled......

Kolynell was killed at home more than a month ago, and "Soul Diagram" was sent here by Uncle Dao more than a month ago.

Could it be that the shooting of Kolynev was not the original intention of Black Thorn at all, their real goal was this "Soul Map"!

I've always been weird about two things.

First, the killing of Kolyeyev by Black Thorn is actually more disadvantageous to himself, because it is morally inhumane, and it will make other gangsters in Russia form an alliance to collectively resist Black Thorn, and the gain outweighs the loss.

Second, even if Black Thorn wanted to kill Kolynev, why did he choose to be in his house? The security here is extremely tight, and there are many bodyguards, so they are completely causing trouble for themselves.

The only explanation is that the members of the Black Thorns infiltrated the castle that night in order to steal the Soul Map, and were accidentally discovered by Klinev during the theft, and the Black Thorns shot Kolinev in desperation.

If my conjecture is correct, then the people of the Black Thorns will still take action against this "Soul Map", which is always in danger.

To support my thoughts, I asked Daria about the night Kolinev was shot, but I regretted it as soon as I said it, because it was her father, and asking such a question would have caused her a second injury.

Yang Wen immediately glared at me and accused me of saying the wrong thing.

To my surprise, Daria didn't care, stroking the scroll on the edge of the scroll and recalling:

"I didn't say a word to my father that day, and my father went back to the bedroom early to rest, and at three o'clock in the morning, a gunshot suddenly rang out in the study, and when I arrived, my father and the killer had already fallen to the ground."

"Does your dad usually have a habit of sleeping in the study?" It was strange that Kolyeyev was still in his study at three o'clock in the morning.

"No, the butler Ivan said that he was wearing a nightgown at the time and was killed at the door of the study." Daria recalled.

Wearing a dressing gown...... The entrance to the study......

In the early hours of the morning and at night, if the Black Thorns really wanted to kill Kolynev, the preferred place must be the bedroom, not the study......

So it is very likely that they infiltrated the study with an ulterior attempt, and Kolynev happened to hear the movement in the study and went to check before being killed.

"Was this painting in the study?" I asked again.

Daria nodded and said, "Yes, it had been locked in the study cupboard by my father before. ”

As I expected, Black Thorn was looking for this "Soul Map" that night.

I spoke my suspicions and said, "The Black Thorns will not give up easily, and they will come again to steal the paintings." ”

Daria agreed with my suspicions, she looked at the soul map and said, "My father attached great importance to this painting during his lifetime, and often took it out for study, if it was really because of this painting that killed him, then I must do my best to protect it, otherwise his death will be too worthless." ”

Wei Yin put her hand on her shoulder and encouraged her.

At this time, the fat bear seemed to figure out something wrong: "No, the security of your place is so strict, it is difficult for even a fly to fly in, how did the killer get in?" ”

"Could it be that in the early hours of the morning, the security guard on duty is lazy?" Zheng Tian speculated.

Daria shook her head: "Even if he passes through the gate, it is impossible to enter the ancient castle, because the ancient castle is equipped with biological anti-invasion infrared protective nets, and people who have not been identified will be electrocuted immediately if they enter." ”

The fat bear immediately asked, "Why wasn't that guy electrocuted?" ”

Daria's eyes flashed with confusion: "I don't know, in fact, I still don't know how the killer got in safely." ”

"Didn't you investigate later? Such as surveillance forensics and the like? I wondered.

Daria replied, "All the surveillance that night was ineffective, and no recorded footage was left. ”

Monitoring failed?

The monitoring here is only authorized by insiders, and it seems that ......

I worried, "IMHO, there's probably a ghost in the castle." ”

"What is an inner ghost?" Daria didn't understand the meaning of the word, so she asked Yang Wen.

After Yang Wen explained to her, Daria hurriedly shook her head: "This is absolutely impossible. ”
