Everyone took the elevator down to the basement level. Langdon saw an inverted pyramid and said happily: "This is an inverted pyramid. The two pyramids may correspond. They are so special."

To ease the tension Langdon said as he walked, "I'm just a history and runegrapher, and the officer isn't sure I can help."

Fache curled his lips and thought that I didn't ask you for help, "How long have you known Professor Saunière?"

"Not long, we only met once, we met at an academic seminar," Langdon said, smiling awkwardly as he said it.

"Anything funny?"

"We had a big disagreement academically, and I was taken aback when he called me later on"

When the three of them walked to the elevator, Professor Langdon looked at the elevator with a visibly nervous expression, and he hesitated and said, "Can we take the stairs?"

Fache, an impolite guy, didn't care about Langdon's opinion. He took William into the elevator, stared at Langdon, and beckoned him to come in.

Langdon was frightened by Fache's stare, so he had no choice but to walk into the elevator. After entering the elevator, Langdon looked very nervous, his expression was dull, his eyes were dull, and he couldn't speak clearly. William and Fache looked at each other. , both of them could not help but suspect Professor Langdon.

chapter 101. chapter [-]

Professor Langdon, who didn't know that he was being suspected, looked better after getting out of the elevator.

Fache asked, "You look nervous, Langdon"

Fache's words made Langdon even more nervous, as if someone had told his secret, his expression was a little ugly, he quickly took a deep breath, shook his head and did not speak.

After following Fache into the exhibition hall, Langdon hurriedly tried to divert Fache and William's attention and said, "Great exhibition hall, you found the corpse here, right?"

Fache frowned and hurriedly asked, "You know that so."

Langdon said relaxedly: "I recognize the photo you showed me. The wooden floor on it is like this. My memory is good, so I won't admit it wrong."

After Langdon saw Saunière's body, he swallowed in horror, "God."

After walking quickly to observe for a while, Langdon said, "Professor Saunière's body is arranged in the way of the Velut, the most famous sketch by Leonardo da Vinci, but why is there a five star on the chest?"

Fache asked with his hands behind his back. "Is there any special significance to this?"

Langdon was a little speechless about Fache, a layman's question. He was too ignorant, so he said helplessly: "Symbols have different meanings on different occasions."

Fache said seriously: "Professor, I came to you just to know the meaning of this symbol here."

"The five-star point is a pagan symbol in Christianity. This is a very early five-star point. It is a symbol of the goddess Venus, representing the female half of all things. This is called the sacred female symbol in the mouth of religious historians. "

Fache asked, "You mean Saunière drew a female symbol on his chest before he died, huh, why?"

Langdon was speechless, "I don't know, Officer"

"yes"

"Of course, how would I know why Saunière did this? I can only tell you what I know. This is not some devil's prophecy."

Fache pointed the fluorescent flashlight at the ground and saw some words and numbers appearing on the ground. Fache said to Langdon, "What message do you think the deceased would write before dying?"

Langdon thought for a while and said, "Probably the murderer's name."

"Yes, that's right." Fache saw Langdon's face becoming more and more serious, and he was about to continue when he heard a voice.

"Captain Fache, sorry to bother you. I received the photos from the scene and cracked the code. I think the numbers Saunière wrote on the floor are Fibonacci numbers, so the headquarters sent me to find out the specific situation."

As soon as William and the others turned their heads, they saw a police officer walking quickly with a beautiful girl, came to Fache and handed him a document.

Fache took the file that the beauty gave her, looked at it and nodded, "Okay, Officer Sophie, what do you want to know."

Sophie didn't answer Fache's words but said to Langdon, "Sorry, Police Officer Fache, please wait a moment, the headquarters has an urgent message to send to Professor Langdon."

The beauty smiled and said to Langdon, "I'm Sophie, from the French Criminal Police Decoding Division. The American foreign embassy called our headquarters. I'm sorry. The foreign embassy said that this matter is about life and death. Professor Langdon, you'd better answer now." , this is the phone number left by the embassy, ​​and the password is the last three digits”

Langdon took the note suspiciously. When he heard that it was a matter of life and death, he hurriedly dialed the number on the note and heard a call from the phone.

The phone was connected, but there was a voice on the phone that surprised Langdon, "Professor Langdon, please keep calm, I am Sophie, please do as I say, you are in a very dangerous situation now, please don't talk to me. Fache revealed anything, he wasn't asking for your help."

Fache looked at Sophie and Langdon in a daze, and glanced at William, who shrugged and said he didn't know.

After Fache told Sophie something about the case, Sophie smiled and shook hands with Fache.

After Sophie left, Langdon stammered and said, "The embassy said that a relative of mine was killed. I'm sorry, officer. I'm in a mess right now. Can I go to the bathroom?"

When Fache heard that Langdon's relatives had been killed, and seeing Langdon's ecstasy, he nodded a little embarrassedly, and pointed Langdon in the direction of the bathroom.

"I'm going too, I just want to go to the bathroom too." Just now when Langdon answered the phone, William released an invisible amplification magic on Langdon.

Sophie heard what Langdon said clearly. He suspected that Langdon was going to the bathroom at this time because he wanted to escape, so he walked up to Langdon with a smile and said, "Let's go, professor,"

Langdon and William had just entered the bathroom and saw Sophie waiting in the bathroom by accident. Seeing William coming in, Sophie didn't seem to be surprised by this, and asked Langdon directly, "Have you received Saunière's message?"

"What are you talking about? You have identified the wrong person. I was invited for consultation. Why did you say I was in danger?" Langdon said puzzled.

"No," Sophie said in a stern tone, "You are being watched, Professor Langdon, Fache is a direct man, he will bring suspects to the scene, and then watch them perform, hoping he will reveal himself Telling, proven guilty on the spot"

Langdon pointed to himself in surprise and asked, "The suspect, me?"

"Yes, Langdon, you can check your pockets" Sophie said, "Come on".

Langdon touched his pocket in disbelief, but when he touched the pocket of his coat, his face became ugly, because he found a GPS locator the size of a fingernail in his pocket.

Sophie took the GPS locator from Langdon's hand and said, "GPS locator, this thing can accurately find the location of anyone. This is to prevent you from escaping. As for you, William Devonshire," Sophie took out Two pieces of paper were given to Langdon and William respectively, and there was a photo on the paper, which seemed to be the invisible words and numbers at the crime scene.

Sophie said to William: "When did Saunière find you today?"
