I collect cultural relics in the human world

Chapter 62
"We have to go back."

He Si nodded without thinking. From Qin Jian's face, she already knew the seriousness of the situation.In order not to drag Qin Jian down, she took the lead and walked quickly towards the way she came from. As she walked, she asked, "What's wrong with Zhao Shuqin?"

"died."

"What?" He Si staggered and almost fell down.

"I didn't expect that at the end of the journey, Ah Si would give me a chance to save the beauty as a hero." On the surface, Qin Jian had returned to his usual careless appearance, and he grabbed He Si from behind in time.

He Si was not in the mood to be romantic at this moment, so she hurriedly asked: "What's going on?"

"It seems to be the same cause of death as the previous deaths."

He Si was stunned and asked: "When did it happen?"

"Just now."

"Just now..." He Si kept walking, thinking as she walked.

Just now, when she fell asleep, what was Qin Jian doing during that time?Was it to hunt her down in her dream, to kill her on the Cultural Preservation Office's territory, or both?If he passes through the mirror realm, maybe he can really do it all at the same time with his own strength.

The deep pool she passed through when she came was already in front of her eyes. Looking at Qin Jian who stretched out his hand to her, He Si immediately shook her head again, trying to shake all the random thoughts out of her mind.

Impossible. If the man in front of her wanted to hurt her and kill her, why bother to stage such a big show full of loopholes.

From the dream that first drew her into the drama, to the ever-changing mirror realm, and even the mirror corridors connecting east, west, north and south, he could easily control my life.What's more, even if he really likes acting, with his ability to calculate everything, he will show his flaws everywhere, so that I will find the loopholes at the beginning of the play?

It's more like someone put the loophole in front of me and deliberately made me doubt him.

"Asi, is the dream just now really okay?"

Qin Jian stood in the deserted grassland and did not open the mirror field immediately. He frowned rarely and looked down at He Si with a trace of uneasiness in his expression.

"When this matter is over, let's have a good chat, okay?"

The girl finally got rid of her entangled thoughts, and the familiar light of Qin Jian flashed in her bright eyes, she was determined, confident and fearless.Qin Jian was surprised at first, then his frown relaxed and he nodded lightly.

He Si received the affirmation, took a step forward, and raised her face cheerfully and firmly.

This time, unlike that night in the bridal chamber with candles and flowers, it was the woman's gentle and delicate hands that firmly covered the man's slender and powerful hands.

"Then let's set off." He Si said softly but forcefully.

The two stepped side by side through yesterday's dead grass, stepped into the water, and appeared in front of Fan Yu together.

"Uncle Qin?"

"She knows it all."

Fan Yu looked at the two people who had returned. It had only been a morning, and the atmosphere between the two was completely different from before they left.If He Si was completely dependent on Qin Jian before, now it looks like they are evenly matched.

Fan Yu keenly guessed that something very important happened between the two, but he knew that now was not the time to inquire about this, so he could only suppress his curiosity and immediately lead the way in front of the two.

"This way."

There was no unnecessary dialogue. The three of them started at the same time, and the sound of footsteps echoed in the empty corridor.The corridor is completely enclosed, and there is a light hanging overhead every few steps, but the light is dim, as if it were the mood of several people at the moment.Soon, He Si smelled the familiar smell of blood, and Fan Yu also stopped.

Although it was the third time a person had died, this was the first time He Si faced such a fresh corpse. She endured the discomfort and took another step forward.

The first thing she saw was the shocking blood stains on the wall, just like what she saw in the secret room that day.Then, her eyes moved past the scattered tables and chairs to the ground.The lying body was like a rag doll, its clothes were torn, there were bloodstains all over its body, its joints were unnaturally twisted, and there was no intact skin.Her face was buried on the ground, and all she could see was a pile of dried blood, but her expression of fear and despair before her death could not be seen.

He Si held on for a while, but couldn't restrain the desire to retching. Lao Chaofeng stood sideways in front of her.The sandalwood diluted the smell of blood, and a mint-flavored chewing gum was placed in her palm.

Lao Chaofeng looked at Fan Yu and asked directly: "Were you there when people died?"

Fan Yu nodded: "Xiao Lin and I were both here. We were just asking normal questions, but she suddenly stood up from her chair, pushed away the table, and screamed. We thought she was acting, but..."

Fan Yu paused, as if recalling the moment when he lost control.

"We rushed forward to control her, but in the next second, her eyes were bleeding and her clothes were tearing. Neither Xiaolin nor I could hold her down. We watched her skin and flesh tear apart in extreme pain. He died of exhaustion."

"What did you ask before she went crazy?"

"Zhao Shuqin's mother celebrated her birthday last month. She said that the picture of Magu celebrating her birthday might have been a gift at that time, but because it was not a treasure, she just put it aside. She can't remember who gave it to her."

"Last month?" Lao Chaofeng flicked his sleeves, "In other words, the real murderer has already found a scapegoat and sent a fake painting to mislead us in the direction of the investigation."

"You think so?" Fan Yu nodded, "It seems that what Zhao Shuqin said was not a lie. She didn't know anything about it from beginning to end."

"What about monitoring?"

"Xiao Lin is checking, but there are no clues. I can only see the scene of Zhao Shuqin struggling to die in a ball of air. Otherwise, let's go and have a look together later."

Lao Chaofeng shook his head: "No need."

"Why is it her?" He Si, who had been silent, spoke up.

"What do you mean? Why did you choose Zhao Shuqin to make a smoke bomb?" Fan Yu asked and answered, "The first suspect in a murder case is always the person next to him. After Huang Haiping died, we would definitely investigate his wife. If we had to choose Zhao Shuqin is naturally the most suitable person to attract our attention."

"No," He Si shook her head, "It's her, the one next to the word "woman". In the first two cases, Magu killed men who harassed women. The murderer should be one, or at least he thought he was. A knight who avenges women, so why did the target become a woman this time?"

"Because she is an accomplice," Qin Jian said. "She is silent, ignorant, and even conniving. In the eyes of the murderer, she is also a perpetrator."

As a bystander who seemed to be doing nothing, He Si had mixed feelings in her heart. Others were also silent, and there was dead silence in the narrow room.

After a long time, Qin Jiancai asked, "How is Jiang Huai?"

"Doctor Guan just called, and another crack appeared on his back." "What do you think?"

"I think," Fan Yu paused and replied, "Our speculation about the cultural relics is not wrong, and the motivation for revenge should be accurate, but the suspect... I think we need to take a closer look at the surveillance, Zhao Shuqin and his community monitor."

"Is it the day she celebrates her mother's birthday?" He Si asked immediately.

Lao Chaofeng nodded: "That's exactly what I meant."

After determining the direction, the three of them arrived at Fan Yu's office without stopping. He Si finally met the Xiao Lin who had been living in Fan Yu's conversations.

Different from the smart and capable person in his imagination, Xiao Lin looks very fair and clean. He wears a gray sweatshirt and black sweatpants, simple and casual. The only bright color on his body is a pair of flashy basketball shoes. They may be some kind of limited edition. He Si can't recognize them. , I just felt that the person in front of me was full of youthful and student spirit, which was completely different from Fan Yu.

Xiao Lin was busy in front of the computer. When he saw Fan Yu come in, he raised his eyes and called Fan Chu. When he was about to lower his head, he suddenly saw Lao Chaofeng following behind.

"Teacher Qin, you are here." Xiao Lin stuttered a little, but the indifferent state of being lost in thinking completely changed. His eyes were sparkling, with admiration from the bottom of his heart, and even a little fear, as if he had succeeded in chasing stars. Like a young man.

"Are you Miss He?" Then, he saw He Si walking into the office together.

"He Si." He Si nodded and smiled politely without saying much.

"My name is Lin Zhaohui." After Xiao Lin finished speaking, he rubbed his hands on his sweatpants and returned his eyes to Lao Chaofeng.

"We'll catch up on old times later. Have you got Zhao Shuqin's surveillance camera?"

"I got it, the guide is here."

Xiao Lin replied while turning on the screen projection. The surveillance screen immediately appeared in front of several people. At this time, Jiang Huai also walked in from the door.

"Is the injury on your back okay?" Fan Yu asked casually, then he lay down on the sofa and crossed his legs, obviously not caring whether Jiang Huai was okay or not.

Jiang Huai didn't mind either. His face looked bad, but he looked much fuller than when they first met. He replied self-deprecatingly: "It'll be good if you get used to it, not to mention there's still room on your back."

"This fault-tolerant mechanism is not bad." Fan Yu picked up the tea cup on the table and took a sip. He grinned because of the burn. He calmed down and said, "I think this matter has something to do with your crew. Congratulations to Zhao Shuqin. You are also the person who is most familiar with Shou, so you have to come."

"Understood." Jiang Huai said and took the tea cup handed over by Xiao Lin. He didn't dare to drink it, but nodded slightly and sat down next to Fan Yu.

Lao Chaofeng and He Si also sat down on the single sofa, one on the left and the other on the right.

"Then what are you waiting for? Let's get started." Fan Yu made the final decision.

The double-speed picture began to flow on the wall. People were coming and going in front of the villa building in the wealthy area, which was originally deserted. There were many guests, and everyone was carrying beautifully wrapped gifts in their hands. It was difficult to see what was inside.

He Si was originally wondering why Zhao Shuqin celebrated her mother's birthday at home instead of going to a restaurant to entertain guests. After looking at it for a while, she became clear-minded - naturally it was for the convenience of receiving gifts.

Huang Haiping's status in the entertainment industry is booming. It's not easy to hear Jiang Huai describe Zhao Shuqin's natal family. At first glance, it seems that Yan Yan is a close friend of the guests who come and go. Most of them are probably trying to use the reputation of the couple to climb up the social ladder. came.

This must be the reason for her social fear. He Si sighed almost inaudibly. As soon as her eyes left the screen, she saw Lao Chaofeng's eyes falling on her. She quickly looked away again and pretended to study the screen carefully. Strangers wearing various masks came.

"Hey, that's you." After a while, Jiang Huai's figure appeared on the screen, and there were several people standing around him, who seemed to have come together.

Jiang Huai nodded: "That day, our crew also went together."

"Return to normal speed." Lao Chaofeng's deep voice sounded, and the screen immediately slowed down, "What did you give me that day?"

"I just brought two bottles of wine, Xiaolin helped me prepare them," Jiang Huai added after thinking for a while, and said to Lin Zhaohui, who was stunned when he heard this, "My assistant is also named Xiao Lin, Lin Huan, but she didn't have it that day. go."

"Introduce the others to us." Fan Yu raised his chin.

"This is a production. I left as soon as the day arrived and didn't even enter the house." Jiang Huai pointed to an old man in a straight suit, and then pointed to a man and a woman standing behind him, "These two are us The post-production teachers on the crew became husband and wife after working together for a long time, and the relationship between the two of them and Director Huang is very good."

"This is the cameraman, this is the director's assistant, oh, and this, this is our production director, who is mainly in charge of logistics work."

Jiang Huai introduced the pictures one by one. At this time, a beautiful figure walked into the screen.Her long hair was permed into fluffy wool curls and hung casually on her shoulders.Wearing a fisherman's hat, a light yellow short T with a dark blue skirt, a pair of knee-high socks, and dad shoes.What first attracted a few people was not her appearance, but her energetic and youthful aura.

"This is Wu Yizhi..."

Before Jiang Huai finished speaking, he heard Lao Chao ask pointedly: "The heroine of this themed secret room?"

"Yeah, she had a schedule that day and didn't set out with us, but she arrived together."

"Wait, go back." Fan Yu pursed his lips, seeming to have discovered something, "Right here, pause."

"What's wrong?" Jiang Huai looked at the scene. Huang Haiping and his wife also said goodbye to other guests at this time, and both of them came over. If they hadn't known the inside story earlier, they would have thought that this was a deeply loving couple.

"Wu Yizhi." Fan Yu repeated the name, picked up the teacup and blew on it, but still didn't dare to drink. He simply got up and went to the water purification bar to get a bottle of mineral water, then stood in front of the screen and took a closer look at the girl with wavy hair. , shook his head in disappointment and said, "You can't see clearly what you took. The box is very big, and it's more than enough room for a painting. But that's not the point. Look, Huang Haiping's expression is not normal, and neither is Zhao Shuqin."

He Si was also looking at the gift in Wu Yizhi's hand. After hearing this, she turned her attention to the couple. Indeed, as Fan Yu said, Zhao Shuqin's body holding Huang Haiping's arm seemed stiff at this moment, while Huang Haiping was obviously refreshed, and his expression Too diligent.

"I remember I asked you before, she is also one of Huang Haiping's harem."

Jiang Huai nodded with a puzzled expression.

"Hey, it seems that this highly praised newcomer can't help himself." Fan Yu came to a conclusion, "Xiao Lin, let's talk to someone first. Don't make too much noise."

"Ah."

Lin Zhaohui responded and was about to leave when he heard Fan Yu say behind him: "Xiao Lin, from now on you can make tea at 65 degrees. Your boiled water guests can't drink it."

"You can't boil water at 65 degrees. Teacher Qin has to boil it several times to make tea."

The voice of rejection was left after the young man left. He Si looked at the student-like back and couldn't help but sigh in her heart - this special cultural relics protection department is indeed a strange person.
