【Phantom in the picture-10】

Leonardo da Vinci's "Last Supper" painting tells the story in the Bible - **** and his twelve disciples ate at dinner and said, "Some of you will betray me" during the dinner , After hearing this sentence, the twelve disciples had different expressions, and they all gathered together to discuss who was the traitor, but the real traitor Judas knocked down the bottle on the table because of his panic, which shows his guilty conscience at that time.

At this time, there were exactly 13 people at the long table for dinner after the wedding banquet.

The seat similar to the one in the painting made Yue Xingwen naturally think of the "traitor". He looked at Xu Feixue and asked, "Do you remember the order of everyone's positions in the painting "The Last Supper"?"

Xu Feixue nodded: "Remember, **** sat in the middle, with six disciples on the left and right, and the fourth from the left, that is, the person with two seats on the right of Jesus, is Judas the traitor."

Yue Xingwen listened to her words, turned to look at the long table, quickly took out a pen and paper, and wrote down the seating order of the entire table.

Xu Yi looked at the long table and said, "The etiquette of western food is to respect the right and the ladies first. The lady sitting on the far right should be Mrs. Brown, the mother of the groom. Next to her is Mr. Brown, and next to her is Mrs. Brown. The parents of the bride. Followed by the bride Alice and the groom Jack; then Daisy's husband Rhodes, sons Dean, Daisy, and Leah, next to Leah sat three men, who should be cousins relatives of the species.”

Yue Xingwen wrote his name on a piece of paper according to Senior Brother Xu's visual observation. After writing the seating map, he looked at it from left to right and said, "The fourth from the left is Leah, the same as Judas the traitor in the seating order of The Last Supper."

Xu Feixue wondered, "The one who is separated from her is Daisy's husband Rhodes? In the oil painting, the middle seat should be Jesus!"

The students looked at each other when they heard this.

Yue Xingwen looked at Jiang Pingce: "Our reasoning doesn't match the order of seats, right? In the painting "The Last Supper", Judas betrayed Jesus. According to today's position order, it should be Leia who betrayed Rhodes?"

Jiang Pingce glanced at the long table and said, "The order of seats in the painting may not be exactly the same as today's order. We already know that the traitor in the painting "The Last Supper" is sitting in the fourth place from the left. If Today's traitor is also the fourth from the left, is it too simple to directly target the suspect?"

Yue Xingwen nodded: "That's right. The library shouldn't let us directly analyze the murderer by the order of seats, but Leia's suspicion can't be ruled out. She came to the wedding with no smile on her face, but the two families The attitude towards her is still very friendly, why exactly?"

Liu Zhaoqing scratched the back of his head with a headache: "I listened to gossip at the wedding banquet before. Leah used to be a rich lady, but her family went bankrupt and was adopted by the Roland couple. She is an orphan whose parents died, and the two families did not bully her. , also invited her to the wedding banquet and sat at the same table for dinner... Is it too polite to her?"

Yue Xing Wen said: "Everyone spread out and listen to the comments of the guests, maybe you can find new clues."

The teammates quickly dispersed in the banquet hall.

In the world in the painting, they don't have to worry about their whereabouts being discovered, and they can listen to the guests' conversations openly.

Yue Xingwen and Jiang Pingce stood at the main table and continued to observe the movement of the family.

A group of people first wished Jack and Alice a happy wedding. Following that, Rhode took out two beautifully packaged boxes and said with a smile, "This is a wedding gift from my eldest brother. I wish you both love forever."

Jack looked surprised: "Gift? Brother is too polite. I didn't give you a gift when you got married."

Rode said warmly and authentically: "You were still in school when I got married. It's right for your brother to give a gift to your brother." He handed the box to the bride, and Alice immediately took it with both hands and said with a smile, "Thank you, brother."

A man in a dark blue suit sitting on the far left said with a smile: "The relationship between the Brown family and the Roland family is even closer when two sisters marry two brothers."

When the old lady heard this, she burst into laughter: "We only have these two precious daughters in our family. In the future, you should both take care of your brothers."

Rhodes said, "Mom, I will take care of Daisy and her son."

Jack also said, "Mom, don't worry, leave Alice to me."

The two couples looked at each other with affection, and seemed to be in a good relationship.

Mrs. Brown took the initiative to raise her glass and said with a smile: "It is a blessing for my two stinky boys to marry such beautiful sisters. Let's wish Jack and Alice a happy wedding!"

At the long table, everyone held up the red wine together, and the two families seemed to be enjoying themselves.

Yue Xingwen and Jiang Pingce looked at each other, and the latter said in a low voice, "Sisters marry brothers separately. The relationship between the two families is definitely not as simple as it seems. The conversation just now seemed like a show."

Yue Xingwen nodded and quickly drew a relationship network on the paper.

The eldest daughter of the Roland family, Daisy, and the youngest daughter, Alice, are married to the eldest son, Brown Lord, and the second son, Brown Jack, of the Brown family. Daisy has a son named Dean, and Alice and her husband have just met. Finish the wedding.

The old castle building they are in is the villa where Daisy lives, and Daisy once took her son to plant sunflowers in the garden. The three corpses found in the garden were of an elderly couple and a young woman, with slightly deformed spines, corresponding to Mrs. Roland's mild hunchback. It can be concluded that the two elderly deceased are the parents of Daisy and Alice.

The corpse of another young woman... Daisy, or Alice?

At this moment, Leah, who was sitting fourth from the left, suddenly stood up, everyone around her turned their attention to her, and Leah smiled lightly at the corner of her mouth and said, "Sorry, I'll go to the bathroom. "

She hugged the cat, got up and left, Yue Xingwen immediately motioned Xu Feixue to follow.

Xu Feixue followed all the way to the bathroom, and after a while, she came out of the women's toilet, walked up to Yue Xingwen and said, "Lia really went to the toilet, she didn't talk to anyone during the process, she still vomited in the toilet for a long time, it seems that The stomach is uncomfortable. The strange thing is that she has to hold the cat when she goes to the toilet." She paused, then doubtfully said, "I also like cats, but I have never seen a cat like her, inseparable from a cat. You have to take cats with you to the bathroom."

Jiang Pingce frowned slightly: "There must be something wrong with that cat."

Yue Xingwen said: "The white kitten looks very cute. It doesn't look like a fantasy setting like demon possessed or cat demon cannibalize people." He crouched down beside Leah and tentatively reached out to touch the white one. kitten. Since they were in the world in the painting and could not affect the plot in the painting, Yue Xingwen touched the cat's head, but his fingers passed through the cat's body like air.

At this moment, the kitten let out a "meow" and rubbed its head against Leah's arm. As the kitten turned his head, Yue Xingwen saw a wooden sign on the kitten's neck. He lowered his head and took a closer look. It was a very common pet sign with the cat's name and the owner's phone number written on it. .

On the back of the brand, there is a black button-like thing.

Yue Xingwen was vigilant and immediately typed: "Master Ke, come here!"

Ke Shaobin was listening to the guests chatting in the distance. When he saw the news of the research group channel, he trotted all the way to Yue Xingwen's side and asked nervously, "Xingwen, what's wrong?"

Yue Xingwen pointed to the cat in Leah's arms: "This cat's neck is wearing something a little strange. Let Xiaotu scan it 360 degrees to see what is on the back of the brand."

Ke Shaobin immediately summoned a small picture of the robot, made it the size of a palm, and came under the cat's body to photograph the wooden sign on its neck from another angle.

Soon, Ke Shaobin's laptop showed the photographed picture. He looked at the button-shaped thing and said firmly: "It should be a bug, the kind that can record!"

Yue Xingwen and Jiang Pingce glanced at each other, Jiang Pingce said, "No wonder Leia always hugs this kitten wherever she goes, it turns out that the kitten has a bug on its neck - she is using this cat to investigate. "

Yue Xingwen said: "With this cat here, she should know many secrets of the two families."

The dinner was coming to an end, and the students scattered around quickly gathered around Yue Xingwen to summarize the news they heard.

Liu Zhaoqing said in a low voice, "I heard a gossip that Rhodes and Daisy were not in a free relationship, but the two families married their eldest son and eldest daughter for the sake of business cooperation. Daisy had a boyfriend she liked very much before she got married, and she had a falling out with her family because of it."

Lin Manluo said: "It's a coincidence, I heard that the couple married today is also a family marriage. The business relationship between the two of them is very close. In order to strengthen the family relationship, it is not enough to force the eldest daughter and the eldest son to marry, and the younger daughter also needs to be married. Marrying the youngest son, the two couples are in charge of different companies, and even the prenuptial agreement has been written."

Lan Yarong followed up: "About Liya, I heard two old people chatting in the corner of the dinner party. Liya's family used to be very rich and had business dealings with these two families. In an accident, her parents died in a car accident while out with Daisy's parents, and after that, Daisy's parents adopted her and treated her like their own daughter."

Jiang Pingce frowned and said, "Could it be that she suspected the cause of her parents' death that year, so she hung a bug around the cat's neck and wanted to find out the truth?"

Following this speculation, Ke Shaobin said: "Is it too suspicious to have a car accident when we were out together? If her parents were killed by Daisy's parents, then she would have sufficient motive to kill Daisy. With Daisy's parents, bury the bodies of the three in the garden, and then replace Daisy as the mistress of the house?"

Yue Xingwen looked at the seating chart and the relationship map he had drawn on the paper, and said, "Murderers usually cut down the grass, right? Since she wants to kill the Daisy family, how can she let Daisy's sister and son go? "

Jiang Pingce said calmly: "At present, the clues are not comprehensive, so we can't draw conclusions hastily. We have only opened the organs of the illusion in three paintings. Maybe there are organs behind other paintings, so let's look carefully."
