【Phantom in the picture-09】

The wedding scene was very romantic. There was a long red carpet on the ground, and the crystal chandelier above the head cast a light like broken diamonds. There were a lot of white roses on both sides of the red carpet, and roses were floating in the air. fragrance.

Yue Xing looked around and found that the entire wedding venue was full of guests, but the groom and bride could not be seen.

Jiang Pingce asked in a low voice, "Where's the newcomer?"

Yue Xing said: "The wedding should not have started yet, the groom and bride will not appear until later."

Ke Shaobin saw a familiar face in the guest seat with sharp eyes. He pointed to the front row and said, "Look at the mother and son, did we see a woman and a child holding a parasol in the garden before?"

Yue Xing followed his gaze and saw the woman with a gentle smile and the little boy sitting beside her. The mother and son were sitting behind the nanny, still holding a snow-white kitten in her arms.

The appearance of the 13 of them did not attract the attention of the audience, as if they were a mass of air.

Yue Xing said: "The phantom in the painting, the world in the painting can't see us, everyone can look around for clues."

Everyone looked at each other and looked for clues.

Yue Xing and Jiang Pingce walked side by side on the red carpet, listening to the conversation of the guests on both sides.

A woman whispered to a friend next to her to gossip: "I heard that Miss Alyssa's husband is the heir to the Brown family, and he looks like a talent. This couple is a match made in heaven!" "Yeah, they grew up as childhood sweethearts. , and finally get married smoothly, which is really enviable."

Yue Xing and Jiang Pingce looked at each other and walked forward to the mother and son.

The little boy asked, "Mom, why hasn't Auntie come out yet?"

The woman smiled and said, "The bride needs to touch up her makeup, and the wedding doesn't start until 5 o'clock in the afternoon."

The little boy looked aggrieved: "I'm so hungry, when can I have dinner?"

The woman said softly: "After the wedding, there will be a buffet dinner, and you like to eat steak."

Hearing that he likes to eat, the little boy's eyes lit up, and he immediately sat up straight in the seat.

Yue Xing leaned into Jiang Pingce's ear and asked in a low voice, "The little boy calls her auntie. It seems that the bride is this lady's sister?"

As soon as the words fell, the pair of newcomers appeared at the end of the red carpet.

A young and beautiful woman, with a light beige veil covering her head, rolled up the arm of a handsome young man and walked on the red carpet, and the guest seat immediately burst into warm applause.

Yue Xing said vigilantly, "Her wedding dress is very similar to the dress in that painting."

Jiang Pingce nodded and said: "It seems that she represents the painting "Girl in a Light Veil". We have found all the heroines in the three paintings."

The two looked at each other and looked at the newlyweds on the red carpet.

The combination of handsome men and beautiful women is a perfect match. The young man smiles gently, and the bride looks a little shy, bowing her head slightly. Amid the cheers of the guests, they walked side by side on the red carpet and came to the church oath stage.

The priest said mildly: "Today, in the eyes of God, we are gathered here to witness the wedding of Mr. Brown Jack and Miss Roland Alice. Please, Mr. Brown Jack, would you like to marry Miss Roland Alice? Wife, cherish her from now on, protect her, regardless of life, old age, sickness, death, health and wealth..."

The priest's voice echoed in the auditorium. When the young man on stage said "I do", his voice was clear and his smile was gentle. The bride also had a happy look on her face. The two exchanged rings in the sound of blessings from relatives and friends, and hugged and kissed.

The whole auditorium is full of romance and sweetness.

Yue Xing looked at Jiang Pingce and found that the latter looked serious and stared directly at the guest seat. He followed Jiang Pingce's gaze. Between the guests, the bride's parents were sitting in the first row with smiles all over their faces; her sister, the woman with children, also had a smile on her face, only the nanny in the back row was expressionless. Applaud with everyone else like a machine.

Yue Xing asked softly, "That nanny is in a bad mood?"

Jiang Pingce said: "From the beginning to the end of the wedding, she has never smiled. Moreover, in weddings, usually, nanny will not be invited to attend. Her relationship with this family is definitely not simple, and she may also know the bride."

At this moment, Liu Zhaoqing typed on the research group channel: "I heard the guests in the corner talking, the Roland family is a well-known local wealthy businessman, and they have two daughters. The lady with the children is called Daisy. Both sisters are married to rich families."

Yue Xing asked, "Where's Liya's nanny?"

Ke Shaobin followed up and said, "I heard someone gossip. Liya used to be a rich lady. Because of the bankruptcy of her family, she was adopted by the Roland family. She grew up with the two sisters of the Roland family.

adoption?

Jiang Pingce looked at Yue Xingyan and said, "Two of them are sisters, and the other is an adopted girl at home. The relationship between the three is definitely not easy."

Yue Xing agreed: "Lia used to be a rich lady, and her family's bankruptcy might have a secret. If her family's bankruptcy was actually done by the Roland family, then she is likely to come back to take revenge after knowing the truth?"

Liu Zhaoqing said, "Have you noticed the elderly couple sitting in the first row? It's the parents of the bride. It may be the elderly couple we found among the three bodies."

The wedding ended with applause and the guests were invited to the cafeteria for dinner.

The parents of the bride who were sitting in the front row were helped to leave the scene. They passed by Liu Zhaoqing. Liu Zhaoqing looked carefully and found that one of the couple's legs was not very neat, and the other had a slight hunched back.

Liu Zhaoqing said: "The bride's mother has mild hunchback symptoms, which is consistent with the mild deformity of the corpse's spine. The characteristics of osteoporosis and herniated disc are also consistent with their age."

Ke Shaobin said excitedly: "So it seems that two of the dead buried in the garden are the parents of the bride?"

Liu Zhaoqing said, "There is a high probability that it is them. The body of the third young woman's "sex" has not yet been determined."

There are currently three "sex" young women, not corresponding to the three paintings in the studio.

The girl in the veil is the youngest daughter Alice at the wedding scene today; the woman with the parasol corresponds to Daisy, the owner of the castle, and her son Dean; the woman with the ermine corresponds to Leah, who lives in the nanny's room.

Who is the deceased? Who is the murderer?

Yue Xing felt that the most suspicious person at the moment was Leia. If the murderer was Leia, it would be more in line with the clues and themes in the current painting. She used to be a rich lady, was adopted after the family went bankrupt, and stayed in the Roland family as a nanny. Jealousy, kill the hostess Daisy, and replace her.

This is just their subjective reasoning based on the clues in the painting, and there is no evidence of any substantial "sex".

Leah stared sharply at Mother and Son Daisy in the garden, and stared blankly at the bride at the wedding...these behaviors were abnormal. Moreover, wherever she goes, she has to hold the cat, but the woman in the painting is holding a mouse. Does this mean something else?

Yue Xing couldn't figure it out for the time being, he said, "Continue looking for clues."

The romantic wedding scene soon became empty, the phantom in the painting disappeared, and everyone returned to the studio.

There are three paintings hanging on the walls, and the castle is pitch black. This scene change makes everyone feel like a dream. Yue Xing frowned at the three paintings and said, "We have all found the corresponding characters for the three paintings. After the wedding, there should be something else happening. Where is the fantasy?"

Jiang Pingce said: "Dinner. Just now, the little boy asked his mother when he could have dinner. Daisy said that there will be a buffet dinner after the wedding."

Yue Xing's eyes lit up: "That painting "The Last Supper" next door?"

Jiang Pingce nodded and said, "Well, that painting should also have a mechanism."

Yue Xing said: "Go back the same way, go to the room on the right side of the second floor, and find the organ in the painting."

Everyone exited the studio on the left and returned to the studio on the right through the hallway. There was a huge oil painting "The Last Supper" on the wall. In the painting, Jesus and the Twelve Apostles were lifelike, with different expressions on each face.

Yue Xing walked over and moved the painting. The painting seemed to be fixed on the wall and moved.

Jiang Pingce frowned and said, "Can't you move?"

Yue Xing was helpless: "The way the organs are opened is different."

Just now, the three paintings in the studio can be moved, and if the order is changed, the illusion in the paintings will appear. What should I do with this painting? The crowd stood in front of the painting and observed it carefully. Suddenly, Xu Feixue said, "Look, there seems to be a crack between the second person on the right side of Jesus and the people around him."

Yue Xing brought the alcohol lamp closer and looked carefully. Sure enough, the little man seemed to have been painted and installed by himself, and it was not completely integrated with the surrounding paintings.

Xu Feixue's eyes lit up: "I see! The theme of the painting "The Last Supper" is betrayal, and the traitor is the second Judas on the right side of Jesus. As long as we find the traitor, the illusion mechanism in the painting can be opened!"

Yue Xing nodded: "There is a way!"

Xu Feixue stepped forward, gently placed his finger on the "Judas" in the painting, and pressed it hard.

Sure enough, the wall on the side rumbled, and a door appeared.

Yue Xing walked with everyone without hesitation. The scene in front of me is indeed the dinner scene after the wedding banquet. The bride and groom have changed their clothes. The bride takes off her wedding dress and wears a silver evening dress with diamonds. She sits in a room with her sister, parents and Leah. long table.

There were 13 people on this long table, the same as the 13 in "The Last Supper."

The bride, groom, both parents, Daisy's family of three, Leah, and three unfamiliar faces, dressed in neat suits, looked like the groom's brothers.

Yue Xing and Jiang Pingce looked at each other and whispered: "13 people, the last supper, there should be traitors on this table."
