Trickster Hunter

Chapter 9 Oil Painting

After hearing what he said, the sheriffs woke up from their dreams, rushed forward in two steps, pressed the woman to the ground, and handcuffed her.

"What's going on?" Captain Huang walked up quickly, "Why can you move? You are not affected by the fog?"

"I don't know either." Sun Hang shrugged and handed the pistol to Captain Huang, "Captain Huang, your gun."

The sheriffs had already pulled off the hood on the woman's head. This was a middle-aged woman between 40 and 50 years old. Her cheeks were covered with tattoos of unknown meaning. A pair of bloodshot eyes stared at Sun Hang who was standing not far away.

"Name?" The sheriff who was holding her asked sternly.

The woman didn't speak.

"Those missing people, do you know where they are?" the sheriff asked again.

The woman remained silent.

The sheriff raised his head and glanced at Captain Huang, and his eyes seemed to be asking for permission.

Captain Huang glanced at the bodies of his subordinates on the ground, looked at the woman again, took a deep breath, and finally shook his head: "Take the suspect back to the bureau first, and then interrogate him... In addition, deal with the scene."

While the sheriffs were cleaning the scene, Sun Hang had walked back and forth in this empty basement, and finally stood in front of the huge oil painting hanging on the wall.

This is a retro Western-style portrait. The person in the painting is a young woman of European descent. She is wearing a fiery red court dress and has an extremely beautiful appearance. Even though it is just an oil painting, Sun Hang can still feel the charming charm in the other person's bones.

Especially those eyes. No matter which angle Sun Hang looks at, the person in the painting seems to be looking at him.

Sun Hang walked closer and reached out to touch the surface of the oil painting.

This giant oil painting with a length and width of more than two meters has not been framed. A thin layer of dust has fallen on the rough canvas.

Sun Hang bent his fingers and tapped the surface of the canvas lightly.

"Dong."

"Captain Huang." Sun Hang turned around and looked at Captain Huang, who was standing in a daze in front of the body of the sacrificed sheriff. "The back of this painting is empty."

"What did you say?!" Captain Huang, who was originally tired, suddenly raised his head, and his eyes suddenly burst into a brilliance. "What did you just say? Say it again!"

"The back of this oil painting is empty." Sun Hang repeated.

Captain Huang took a deep breath, walked up quickly, and tapped the surface of the canvas with his fingers.

"Everyone, come here!" Captain Huang said solemnly, "Bring the suspect here too!"

The middle-aged woman with tattoos all over her face was brought to Captain Huang by two sheriffs, one on each side. Captain Huang grabbed her collar and asked word by word: "What is behind the painting?"

To the surprise of the sheriffs, this time, the middle-aged woman did not remain silent, but glanced at the woman in the painting, and then slowly said: "...It is His palace."

"Captain Huang, those missing women...including Xiao Hu, they are very likely inside." The trace expert said anxiously, "Their footprints all disappeared outside the basement, unless there is a secret passage leading to the outside world behind the painting, otherwise..."

"Wait a minute!" 0401 suddenly interrupted the trace expert, "Have you forgotten the fog just now? This is obviously a supernatural ability! Whether it is this woman or this series of cases, it is obviously related to It has something to do with the weird creatures! Our mission has been completed. The rest should be reported to the Investigation Bureau, and they should send a "special person" to deal with it! "

"I have completed the report." 0398 put the issued mobile phone back into his pocket and said lightly, "The superiors told us that the "hunter" will arrive in twenty minutes."

"So, let's not have any extra curiosity!" 0401 emphasized again, "Professional things should be done by professionals. We only need to wait here for twenty minutes until those "hunters" arrive, and then we can call it a day!"

Captain Huang glanced at the two temporary investigators, then at his subordinates, and still shook his head: "For me, my mission is not completed... Bring the chainsaw!"

"Are you going to die?" 0401 shouted, "If you don't want to live, there is no need to drag us to be buried with you."

Captain Huang did not speak, but took out the key of the handcuffs from his pocket and threw it to 0401.

0401 was stunned for a moment, then quickly picked up the key and unlocked his handcuffs.

"...Uh, I suggest you don't leave." The young sheriff who was kind to Sun Hang and the others whispered, "If you leave now, you will be considered to have abandoned your post..."

"I know!" 0401 said angrily, "I just don't understand why your captain is so stubborn and wants to die... He won't stop until he finds the missing people!"

"The missing trainee sheriff is actually Captain Huang's niece." The young sheriff said in 0401's ear, "Captain Huang watched her grow up."

...

A few minutes later, a sheriff came over with a chain saw. He pulled the rope twice, and the sharp saw chain turned rapidly amid a low roar of the engine.

Captain Huang nodded at him and made way.

The sheriff stepped forward, picked up the chain saw, and sawed at the painting.

The thick fiber canvas was torn in an instant, and the wooden frame underneath was also cut open, with sawdust flying everywhere.

A one-meter square incision appeared on the painting, and behind the incision was a deep passage, and no one knew where it led to.

"You two, stay and watch the suspect, and the rest of you follow me."

Captain Huang held a flashlight in one hand and a pistol in the other, and was the first to enter the passage.

Sun Hang followed behind him and entered the passage second.

What surprised Sun Hang a little was that 0401 and 0398 also entered the passage amid a slight complaint.

"Curiosity kills the cat, kills the cat..." 0401 complained quietly while looking at the inner wall of the passage.

"Aren't you afraid there are weird things in there?" Sun Hang asked.

"Scared." 0401 said frankly, "But I always feel that staying with that crazy woman seems more dangerous... After all, she just killed a sheriff."

"Why did the mist avoid you?" 0398 lifted the hair that fell in front of his eyes with his hand, staring at Sun Hang with burning eyes, "I saw it clearly, when you walked over, the mist automatically moved away."
