Chapter 236: Search
The oak table looks a little old, and the whole is in the style of Baroque carving, whether it is the corners, cabinets, or handles, there are gilded carvings, which looks very luxurious, but some of the woodcut crevices have accumulated dust, telling of its lifespan, and it is clear that it is not a new acquisition, but something moved from somewhere - like the bookcase next to it, it is likely that it was moved from the place where Veron used to work.

Incidentally, Veron Anse was transferred to the new building three months ago as a senior researcher and research director in the new building in Osborne, where he was responsible for the genetic project, which had previously been discontinued and later restarted.
There were no papers on the oak table, no computer, but a glass plate that Gwen had worked for at Osborne and knew was a desktop computer for executives, and it was equipped with Osborne Group's artificial intelligence, and no one without a work permit would have any access to it.
On the table, in addition to the glass panel, there is a small four-pillar lamp with a lampshade, and on the opposite side of the lamp is a clock, the copper casing presents a quaint color, the style is also full of religious flavor, and under the round dial, a winged cherub is also carved. Adjacent to the clock is a small ornament with the image of Jesus crucified, and next to the ornament, an open paper calendar.
This person seemed to be very time-conscious, and Gwen glanced at the table and found nothing of note, so she began to rummage through the drawers.
Unleashing the six small cabinets on the oak desk, Gwen quickly flipped through the stacks of paper documents inside, some neatly stored in the file bag, while others were tucked into the notebook, each of which looked suspicious, so Gwen carefully flipped through them all, with the help of spider senses, as long as she focused on the first few lines of each file, although she flipped quickly, she still made sure that she didn't miss a single suspicious thing.
On the other side, Mindy is also groping on the bookshelf, unlike Gwen's violent retrieval method, Little Lori uses her rich experience and understanding of criminal psychology, if a person wants to hide something in the bookshelf, he only needs to do something with the books, so Mindy only needs to check whether these books have traces of "acquired".
The most dusty and yellowed corners of the book cover were the books that were dusty before she pulled them out, and after checking them casually, Mindy threw them aside, and her goal was not to be these common books, because few people would be so stupid as to do anything directly on them, and more people would often subconsciously avoid the places where they hid things.
After excluding the goal of 32 books, the whole large bookshelf against the wall has shown a very clear vein, if the bookshelf is divided into four even parts, then, the higher the right corner, the more sparse the empty space of the commonly used books, which is a kind of psychological subconscious performance.
After observing again......
Got it!
Mindy smirked, lit her cute little dimples, and flew up and down, pulling out a black thick-skinned Bible with precision and dexterity.
It is obvious that this Bible, which has been around for a period of time and has yellowed pages, is obviously not commonly used, but it can be seen from the decoration on the table that this Veron is a relatively devout Christian, so what is the reason for a Christian not to turn the Bible for a long time?
It was also at this moment that Gwen on the other side forcefully flipped through all the papers on the desk, of course, she didn't find anything, so she was a little disappointed.
"I don't have anything here......" Gwen looked up at Mindy.
"I found something suspicious." Mindy turned her head to see Gwen's visibly slumped shoulders and smiled encouragingly.
"Huh?" Gwen took the black Bible handed over by Mindy, and although it was very old, the black thick book seemed to have few traces of turning, and there were no obvious notes throughout, and it didn't seem to be anything special.
"There is nothing strange about this book!" Gwen flipped through it quickly, giving a conclusion.
"No, it's the most suspicious! My gut tells me it's quirky. Mindy said, gesturing to the small objects on her desk, "It is very unreasonable for a Christian who is not a devout Christian to have a carving of the Passion of Christ on his desk, and I guess this Bible must contain information related to Veron's secrets." ”
"However, I don't see anything special, there are no traces of hands and feet on every page of the book, no creases, no notes, no special symbols...... Well, wait? Gwen found something unusual about the book in the third turn.
"What's wrong?" Mindy's eyes lit up and she asked impatiently.
"There are four missing pages of this book, pages 25, 36, 47 and 96...... It is estimated that it had such a flaw when it appeared, so I just haven't found it yet. ”
"Oh...... This is interesting, the book of more than 500 pages, only the first 100 pages are missing, and there are four pages missing, this surprising neatness is very much like a password, if this is the password that Wei Lun reminds himself of when necessary, then it makes sense......"
"I have a question." Gwen interjected, "If it's something that Velun wants to keep secretly, he must remember the password, why would he make a special hint?" ”
"It may be to prevent themselves from forgetting, it may be to facilitate the transmission to future generations, or it may be to secretly connect with other people, there are many reasons, in fact, many criminals have the process of preparing hints for their 'treasure chest', which can leave a little fire for their descendants after their sudden death." Mindy said in an old-fashioned manner, and at the same time began to tap and pound on the wooden table in front of him.
"I also think this discovery is abrupt and strange, but I have experience, Gwen, and it's probably because we skipped a lot of steps and inserted the 'treasure hunt' game directly into the middle, and most importantly, I found something suspicious, and we can't ignore its possibility, and right now, we're missing a safe, aren't we?"
"Well, with the safe, I think I might know where!" Gwen said.
