Escape the Library

【Phantom in the picture-12】

The confirmation of the deceased's identity surprised Yue Xingwen, who was accused of Cheng Shanya as the murderer.

Leah's parents died in a car accident. After she was adopted by the Roland couple, Bei Bei hung a **** device 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 the Roland couple, of course she had a motive for committing the crime. She killed the Roland couple to avenge her parents, and then killed Daisy to become the hostess of the house instead.

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

Yue Xingwen looked back at his teammates and said, "Lea is the one who died. Who will be the murderer? Daisy, the Rhodes, Alice, and Jack should be among the four."

Ke Shaobin guessed: "Could it be because Leah knew too much 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 and his wife are in their 60s. Why did the murderer kill the old couple? It can't be to silence them."

Ke Shaobin scratched his head: "That's right, there were three people who died. The method of death was 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 tidy up from the beginning! Ben Pingce took out the map he drew and said, "This castle is a labyrinth composed of many pictures, and the corresponding characters behind each picture can often be seen in a fantasy world. 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 unpredictable, 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 **** 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, or they will open their mouths and make strange sounds. laughter, or the woman in the painting turns into a second face and sheds blood and tears. Every time the woman changes, it means that we enter a different world.”

Liu Zhaoqing said, "I think the painting of "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, and 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 sent it to his laptop, and drew a route: "Let's start from the squat, I think the clues of the illusion in the current painting are a bit messy, and if we start from the first floor, maybe we can sort out the context of the whole story. "

Yue Xingwen agreed: "Okay, let's find out where a certain olive lily agency is."

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

Yue Xingwen looked up at the first "Blackboard". The circles of seven rows of mosquito coils were scribbled like a kindergartener who picked up chalk and scribbled. 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 in such a mess, 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 the designated area. Just pointing at Ben Xu has no effect on the painting itself." With a smudge-like eraser, she manipulated the eraser to gently slide over the area drawn in "Blackboard", erasing the traces on it.

Surprisingly, when the blackboard was wiped clean, the messy canvas turned into a "TV" mounted screen, and began to show them a picture——

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 around were fighting. A boy passed by her and accidentally knocked over the chalk box in her hand. The colored chalk was scattered all over the floor. Instead of apologizing, the boy turned behind her with a smile. , picked up the chalk and scribbled on the blackboard, and said, "Lia, 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 painting, the woman who sheds blood and tears should also be her, right? After her death, her thoughts formed the illusions 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 makes trouble beside him and scribbles on the blackboard with chalk 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: "Did you do this when you were a child?"

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

Jiang Pingce said lightly: "Ke Shaobin's statement is correct, the troublesome boy in the picture just now probably likes Leah and wants to attract the other party's attention. Combined with the follow-up plot, this boy should be the one of the brothers Rhodes and Jack!

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

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 patterns in the abstract painting, there will be a dynamic play in this painting.

The second "Exchange" is also a representative of abstract paintings, with blocks of different colors spliced ​​together in a chaotic manner.

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 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. After erasing the pattern with an eraser just now, There is an in-painting phantom. The second 'Exchange' is made up of blocks of different colors, which should use your 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, probably 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 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 the sunflowers have appeared many times in this story. There are also large areas of yellow and orange in this painting. I adjusted it to Try a color close to the sunflower."

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

She spread out her right hand, took out the 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 "Palette Rendering" to temporarily turn the entire picture into yellow-orange.

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

The story comes to high school. Leah has turned into a slender girl. She is wearing a school uniform and sitting quietly in the classroom. There is a boy in the corner of the classroom, but Leah's eyes are always on the textbook.

After a while, the bell rang for the end of the get out of class, and two girls with long blond hair appeared at the door of the classroom. Among them, the young boy smiled and called out, "Lea, come out, I have something to tell you."

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 wondered: "Why change?"

The girl blushed slightly, and said in a soft voice, "I have a boy I like in group B, let's change it. I want to have a relationship with him. 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 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 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 come back and 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 say it. "

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."
