【Phantom in the picture-12】

The confirmation of the deceased's identity surprised Yue Xingwen, and he suspected that Leia was the murderer.

Leah's parents died in a car accident. After she was adopted by Roland, she hugged the cat and hung a bug around the cat's neck to monitor the family's movements at all times. If she knew that the death of her parents was related to Roland's wife, of course she had a motive for committing the crime. She killed Roland's wife to avenge her parents, and then killed Daisy to become the mistress of the house instead.

Now, the deceased buried in the garden is actually Leia, which shows that their previous reasoning was all wrong.

Yue Xing Wentou looked at his teammates and said, "Lea is the one who died, who will be the murderer? Daisy, Rodford, Alice, Jack, should be among the four. "

Ke Shaobin guessed: "Could it be that she knew too much for Leah and was silenced? After all, she has been holding the cat and monitoring the movements of these people. She must know many secrets of the two families."

Liu Zhaoqing touched his chin and said solemnly, "We found three corpses, among them, Roland Fu's wife is in her 60s. Why did the murderer kill the old couple? It can't be for the sake of silence. "

Ke Shaobin scratched his head: "That's right, there are three people who died. The method of death is mechanical suffocation caused by strangulation of the neck. The murderer must have murdered in a planned way. It seems unreasonable to just kill them."

"Let's sort out the clues from the beginning." Jiang Pingce took out the map he had drawn and said, "This ancient castle is a 'labyrinth' composed of many paintings, and behind each painting corresponds a fantasy, which can be used in the fantasy. Saw some episodes."

He spread out the map in front of everyone and pointed to the beginning: "World a where we are currently, which is the scene of the murder where the body was found, there are four abstract paintings hanging in the living room, namely "Blackboard", "Exchange" and "Dreamland" And "Anna's Light", because the content of the abstract painting is wild and imaginative, we can't understand what the painter wants to express, we extracted the key words from the name of the painting, and speculated that this bloody case is related to 'exchange'."

Yue Xingwen said: "There may be illusions behind these four paintings. We haven't had time to open them yet?"

Jiang Pingce nodded, and continued to point to the world behind: "In World B on the second floor, I found the painting "Mona Lisa" at the entrance, the characters in this painting will change dynamically, and the mouth of the blood basin will be opened to make a strange sound. The woman in the painting turns into a second face and sheds blood and tears. Every time the woman changes, it means that we have entered a different world.”

Liu Zhaoqing said, "I think the painting "Mona Lisa" at the entrance is the key. Maybe there is a mechanism here? It's just that this painting is too scary, and we haven't had time to analyze it."

Xu Feixue said along this topic: "The famous painting "Starry Night" by Van Gogh in the c world, the "Last Supper" in the d world, the e world, three portraits of women found in the studio, we have unlocked the illusion; the oil painting "Sunflower" found in the f world "I didn't have time to open the organ."

With Jiang Pingce's map, everyone's thinking suddenly became much clearer.

Ke Shaobin took a picture of the map and transferred it to his laptop, and drew a route: "Let's start from the floor, I think the clues to the illusion in the current painting are a bit messy, if we start from the first floor, maybe we can sort out the whole story. veins."

Yue Xingwen agreed: "Okay, let's find out where the abstract painting agency of the building is."

Everyone returned to the castle and came to the front of the four abstract paintings again.

Yue Xingwen looked up at the first picture of "Blackboard". There were seven rows of mosquito-repellent incense like "chaotic" circles, like a kindergartener who picked up a piece of chalk and "chaotically" painted it. How to unlock this painting?

Everyone stood in front of the painting and looked around carefully, but did not see any button-like mechanism.

Ke Shaobin made a bold guess: "Could it be an erasing mechanism? The blackboard was painted so messy, my first reaction was to wipe it clean."

Liu Zhaoqing smiled and said, "This is a famous painting in the world. It's okay if you wipe it off."

"I'll give it a try. The eraser skill of the Art Department can temporarily erase a designated area, and it will be restored after a while. It has no effect on the painting itself." Xu Feixue raised his right hand, and a block appeared in his palm. The tofu-shaped eraser, she "manipulated" the eraser and gently slid over the area drawn in "Blackboard", erasing the traces on it.

Surprisingly, after the blackboard was wiped clean, the originally messy canvas turned into a "television"-like screen and began to show them a scene——

In the elementary school classroom, the little girl stood alone in the back, drawing on the blackboard, probably running a blackboard newspaper.

A few classmates were fighting around. A boy passed by her and accidentally knocked over the chalk box in her hand. The colored chalk was scattered all over the floor. The boy did not apologize, but turned around with a smile. After getting behind her, he picked up a piece of white chalk and scribbled a bunch of ghost symbols on the blackboard, saying, "Leah, am I good at drawing?"

Leah ignored him, leaned over calmly, picked up the chalks on the ground one by one, wiped off the ghost symbols painted by the boy's prank with the blackboard eraser, and continued to draw seriously.

The picture on the blackboard is continuously enlarged, and the final picture is clearly presented in front of the eyes.

- A bunch of sunflowers in full bloom.

When the video in the painting ended, Yue Xingwen looked at his teammates: "Leah has a talent for painting since she was a child, and the paintings in this castle may be left by her. The "Mona Lisa" on the second floor In the picture, the woman who bleeds and tears should also be her, right? After her death, her thoughts formed the illusion in these paintings?"

Jiang Pingce said: "It can be understood in this way that Leia is the protagonist of the story."

Ke Shaobin asked, "Does the boy who is making trouble beside him and scribbling chalk on the blackboard like her?"

Xin Yan frowned: "I like it? Isn't this practice asking for a beating?"

Ke Shaobin smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "You don't understand this. Children are immature and will have the childish behavior of 'bullying you when they like you'. Especially some little boys will kill in various ways to attract those they like. People's attention, including putting chewing gum on the other person's stool, unraveling the other person's ponytail, putting bugs in the other person's pencil case, etc."

Xin Yan looked at him speechlessly: "You did this when you were young?"

Ke Shaobin coughed lightly: "No no no, I see others have done it!"

Jiang Pingce said lightly: "Ke Shaobin is right, the boy who made trouble in the picture just now probably likes Leia and wants to attract the other party's attention. Combined with the follow-up plot, this boy should be one of the brothers Rhode and Jack. bit."

Liu Zhaoqing "touched" his chin thoughtfully: "Appearing in the same classroom means that they are classmates. At present, we don't know the age of these young people, whether Leia is in the same class as her brother Rhodes or her younger brother. Jack's class?"

Yue Xingwen said: "Continue to look at the paintings later."

The first "Blackboard" gave everyone a lot of inspiration. Unexpectedly, after erasing the original messy pattern in the abstract painting, there would actually be a dynamic play in this painting.

The second "Exchange" is also a representative of an abstract painting. The "color" blocks of different colors are spliced ​​together, making it messy and "chaotic".

Just when everyone was at a loss, Yue Xingwen suddenly said: "Xu Feixue, I remember that the art department has three skills, brushes, erasers, and color palettes, right?"

Xu Feixue nodded: "Yes."

Yue Xingwen curled the corners of his mouth: "I understand, these four abstract paintings need to be unlocked with the ability of the art department, the first "Blackboard" has a messy chalk pattern on it, which I just erased with an eraser After the pattern, an in-painting phantom appeared. The second "Exchange" is made by splicing "color" blocks of different colors, and you should use your color palette skills."

Xu Feixue's eyes lit up: "It makes sense! The course exam requires that there must be a team member from the Department of Fine Arts, most likely to allow the students of the Department of Fine Arts to unlock the mechanism in the painting."

Lin Manluo said excitedly, "Great, Feixue, do you know how to use the color palette for this painting?"

Xu Feixue looked at the painting and thought about it carefully, and said, "The overall tone of this painting is warmer, and in addition to the fact that sunflowers have appeared many times in this story, there are also large areas of yellow and orange in this painting. ”, I will try to tune it to a color that is close to the sunflower.”

The plot in the first "Blackboard" painting, the final picture is a bunch of blooming sunflowers. In this "Exchange", the overall "color" is close to that of a sunflower, and everyone agrees with Xu Feixue's judgment.

She spread out her right hand, took out the color palette of the art department, took the color in the lower left corner of the picture in front of her, and then used the skill "color palette rendering" to temporarily turn the entire picture yellow Orange "color".

Sure enough, the next moment, the painting also turned into a TV-like screen and began to play a plot.

The story came to the middle, Leia had turned into a slender girl, she was wearing a school uniform, sitting quietly in the classroom, a boy in the corner of the classroom was looking at her, but Leah's eyes were always on the textbook.

After a while, the bell rang for the end of get out of class, and two girls with long golden hair appeared at the door of the classroom. One of the girls smiled and called out, "Lea, come out and tell you something."

Leah walked out of the classroom and asked lightly, "What's the matter?"

The girl said softly, "I'm in group A this summer camp, are you in group B? Can we change it?"

Leah is "perplexed": "Why change?"

The girl blushed slightly and said softly, "I have a boy I like in group B, let's change it. I want to join him in summer camp. It doesn't matter which group you are in anyway, right?"

Leah was silent for a moment, then nodded: "Okay."

The girl took out a blue "color" card from her pocket and handed it to Leah: "This is the pass card for group a."

Leah took the card, took out an orange "color" card and handed it to the other party, and the two sides quickly exchanged cards.

The girl's eyes lit up and said excitedly, "That's great, thank you, I'll bring you a present!"

Seeing her jumping and jumping away, another blonde girl said helplessly: "My sister has such a temper, I really don't know what she likes about her. It's against the school rules to change groups in private, so don't tell me."

Leah nodded: "Don't worry, I won't say it."

The girl turned to leave, Leah held the blue card in her hand, and returned to the classroom as if nothing had happened.

Play ends.The painting "Exchange" shows the story of Alice exchanging summer camp groups with Leah for the boy she had a crush on in high school. What does this have to do with Leah's death?

Yue Xingwen was silent for a few seconds and said, "Continue to the next painting, the clues are about to be strung together."
