Tang Dynasty detective

Chapter 527

Yu Chengen's heart tightened, and his eyes subconsciously looked towards the opposite beam, but then returned to their original state.

No one would care about such subtle movements, except Li Canghai.

He smiled slightly, and said something to the woman next to him pretending to be Lan Yue. The woman nodded, then jumped up, flew lightly to the beam, and took down a scroll from above.

Yu Chengen's face turned pale in an instant, his pupils shrank rapidly, and he looked at Li Canghai as if he had seen a ghost in broad daylight.

"You... how do you know...?" Yu Chengen asked in astonishment.

Li Canghai stroked his chin and said calmly, "What I know is far more than what you think."

Conan took the picture scroll from the woman's hand, and after opening it, it turned out to be a "Cliver Orchid Picture" with Fengniang's name on the inscription.

"Brother Li, it seems that this is indeed the missing painting." Conan said after looking at it.

Li Canghai nodded, and asked Conan to hang this picture on the wall side by side with the other three pictures, and said: "The first Hongmei who died found the 'Hanmei Aoxue Picture' beside her, and the second died Ah Zhu found the 'Black Bamboo Picture' beside her, and the third dead orange found the 'Golden Chrysanthemum Bullying Shuang Picture' beside her. I don't know if everyone has discovered the relationship between this?"

Everyone shook their heads, only Conan stared at the three paintings, his eyes suddenly lit up, and said: "I see, each picture corresponds to a dead person. The murderer is the one who killed people according to these four pictures!"

Li Canghai nodded approvingly, and said: "That's right, the murderer didn't kill people on a whim, but according to these four paintings. The murderer told us from the very beginning that the person he was going to kill was just that we couldn't see it." The meaning is nothing more than that. In fact, the four paintings of plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum correspond to the four concubines of Zhang Yuanwai. Plum is red plum. Bamboo is Azhu. Chrysanthemum is orange. Orchid is Lan Yue. .”

Conan suddenly realized: "No wonder you think the murderer will kill again, so I secretly informed Miss Qing to come to help. It turns out that you have already guessed the murderer's intention and knew that the murderer wanted to kill Lan Yue."

The woman pretending to be Lan Yue giggled, then tore off the veil on her face, who was it if it wasn't Di Qing?

Di Qing proudly said: "This girl likes catching thieves the most! The main reason is that this girl acted so well, the sad look in her eyes just now broke my heart for it!"

Li Canghai rolled his eyes involuntarily, he nodded and said, "That's exactly the case, so I asked Zhang Yuanwai to cooperate with me in a play."

Zhang Wenyuan said in a deep voice: "That's right, the Immortal Chief found me directly when he came back from the town, and asked me to deliberately say that he would burn Ueda Takashi to death. So, I made a dummy and performed a scene with the Immortal Chief." .”

"So, Ueda Takashi was not burned to death?" Yu Chengen asked, staring at Li Canghai with narrowed eyes.

Li Canghai said deeply: "It's natural. I did this just to make you relax your vigilance and make you think that once Takashi Ueda dies, we will leave the Zhang family and stop asking about this matter. In this way, you will never Do not hesitate to attack again!"

"But I don't understand why the murderer left clues on purpose?" Di Qing asked curiously.

"Because the murderer wants the deceased to know why he was killed!" Li Canghai glanced at Yu Chengen.

Di Qing hadn't spoken for a long time, and she was already a little uncomfortable. Now that she could speak, how could she give up?

"Then why were the three people killed in these three murder cases? Just because of the three paintings? Could it be that there is a curse in the paintings?" Di Qing asked puzzledly, blinking her eyes.

"It's not because of these paintings, but because of the people who painted them." Li Canghai said deeply.

Zhang Wenyuan's face suddenly became distorted, and he shouted: "Nonsense! It's just nonsense! Feng Niang has been dead for more than ten years, don't tell me that Yu Chengen was possessed by Feng Niang's soul, so he killed Hong May and the others!"

"Although it's not because of the ghosts, the difference is almost the same. And the real motive is hidden in these four paintings." Li Canghai squinted his eyes, looking at the four paintings hanging on the wall.

Everyone looked at the four paintings one after another, but after looking for a long time, they didn't see anything, even Conan was at a loss.

"Brother Li, I've looked at these pictures many times, but I didn't see anything unusual. Where is the motive you mentioned hidden in the pictures?" Conan asked with a frown.

"Actually, it was only after this 'Picture of Clivia' was hung on the wall that I realized that the key lies in the inscriptions on these four pictures." Li Canghai said, pointing to several paintings.

"Poetry?" Everyone followed what he said, and hurriedly looked at the poems on the four pictures.

Picture of Aoxue and Hanmei: It is still the cold winter and the twelfth lunar month, and the red is as red as the fire.All the fragrances shake down Du Xuanyan, and the dark fragrance floats in the snow fairy.

Gentleman Orchid Picture: When I was a child, I knew this fragrance, only potted plants and stone enclosures were missing.I remember that the spring breeze disperses in the valley, and the cymbidium flowers are like grass and return home by woodcutters.

Black Bamboo Picture: I was born in a broken rock, thin and straight, proud of the wind.Although the tall material is old, it is more resolute, comparable to a thousand-year-old cypress.

Picture of golden chrysanthemum bullying frost: Children plant flowers like Tao's family, and they are gradually slanting around the fence.It's not that chrysanthemums are preferred among flowers, and there are no flowers when all the flowers bloom.

Conan recited all the verses, and then fell into deep thought.

Di Qing tilted her head and blinked her eyes, her face was cute and she didn't know why.

"Each capital of these four poems fits perfectly with these pictures, and I still can't see anything strange." Conan frowned, thought for a while, and shook his head.

"Brother Nan couldn't see it because he paid too much attention to the artistic conception and ignored the most superficial things. In fact, the reason why Feng Niang drew these four paintings before she died was to express her resentment. The method of hiding acrostic poems has been written out. Just take out the first characters of these four poems, and you can understand the meaning." Li Canghai sighed.

Di Qing blinked, pointed to the four paintings, and then counted and said: "The first picture is 'return', the second picture is 'er', the third picture is 'me', and the fourth picture is 'baby' , together it means 'return my child', what kind of stuff is this?"

A flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in Conan's mind, and he said solemnly: "No! The order is wrong, not in the order of plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum, but in the order of killing, plum, bamboo, chrysanthemum, orchid. Therefore, these four words Together, it should be—give me back my child!"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and they suddenly felt a gust of cold air rushing directly to the Tianling Gai from the soles of their feet, and they shuddered at the same time.

The person who died more than ten years ago left four paintings before his death, and what these four paintings hide is "return my child"?This has to be scary.
