can't go wild

Aino felt that he was more or less hit by this series of changes, at least the problem of distraction was getting worse day by day.Whether Xing Zhou's eyelashes are long or not is none of his business.

He calmly withdrew his gaze and continued to observe the twins training.

During training, Chen Junyang showed a different seriousness than before, but most of the time he was beaten by his younger sister Chen Juntao.Chen Juntao's saber technique is open and closed, very general-like, brave and courageous.

Aino looked at it for a while, and then began to think about what path he was going to take.Cold weapons like swords are cool to use, but they are not suitable for him.First, he has no background, and second, it is not convenient to carry it. After much deliberation, it is most practical to learn guns from Xing Zhou.

After a morning of training, Aino was a little tired, returned to his room and fell asleep on the rocking chair.Wen Yue specially brought him the sleeping incense that can relieve fatigue, and put it in a delicate incense burner. The fragrance is not strong, but there is a clear smell of the forest after the snow, which smells very good.

It was rare for Aino not to have a dream, and when he woke up, he received a new message from Cassia.

Cassia has already received the laptop and fried chicken, so it can be seen that he is not far from Jingzhou.While eating fried chicken, he restored the data in his laptop. After some searching, he really found something.

"Xiangqi's browsing records show that he has logged into a certain private network disk. I tried my best to crack the password of his network disk. Guess what I found in it?"

At that time, Aino was alone in the room, but with the headsets turned on, everyone in the team could hear Cassia's voice.

Before anyone could answer, Jue Ming couldn't wait to say: "It's a rune! I created a rune. I've never seen this kind of rune. I haven't even heard the name. It's definitely my own creation! Xiangqi is really awesome. Even if he knows Chu Lian and has seen other talismans, what a talent it is to completely create a new talisman. And I think the storage time of the blueprint is still in the Ten years ago, he was only in his twenties."

Immediately, Xing Zhou's questioning voice came from the headset: "What's the name of this talisman?"

Cassia: "The spirit lock, the lock of the chain, the spirit of the soul, sounds quite mysterious, but I don't know what the actual effect is. I have sent you the blueprint on the APP, you all have a look. But I can guarantee , This kind of talisman has never appeared before."

Hearing this, Aino immediately opened the APP to confirm.I saw a scarlet rune pattern lying quietly in the chat box of the customer service elf, which was mysterious and complicated.

At this time, Jue Ming said again: "By the way, he also put some other things in the network disk, which should be some important things to him. I screened out the parts about Chu Lian. I know what kind of relationship they have."

The paintings were sent out one after another, and there was a note under each painting.

Painting [-]: Campfire with three people

On April 2002, 4, I met the best friend of my life in the no man's land in the northwest.Maybe life isn't so bad.

Painting [-]: Baby Figure

In 2004, another April, it happened to be Guyu, and Song Ling's child was born.I don't like kids, but he seems cute.

Painting [-]: Fu

On June 2012, 6, Chu Lian became more and more busy, and often did not see anyone for a whole month.He also didn't want others to know that we knew each other, for fear that I would be implicated.But I wanted to help him, tried to draw symbols, and succeeded.

When he comes back next time, he will definitely be able to surprise him.

Painting [-]: Chaotic Colors

In July 2012, Song Ling said he was crazy, let me be careful, why?

There are not many things recorded in Xiangqi, and the time span is also large, but it is enough to explain many things.

Xing Zhou was the first to speak out: "In 2002, no man's land, Chu Lian and Song Ling should have just come out of Luye."

Jue Ming followed up with an explanation: "The exit of Luye is constantly changing. It may be a no-man's land, or it may be a prosperous city in the interior. There is no way to reverse track."

Chen Juntao: "In no man's land, Xiangqi may be the first person Chu Lian and Song Ling meet. It's not surprising that they will become friends."

Chen Junyang: "Hmph, the golden house cangjiao."

Chen Juntao: "What weird things have you been watching recently?"

Chen Junyang hummed softly, but did not speak.

Jue Ming: "Actually, what Yang Yang said is right. Chu Lian was so careful not to expose the existence of Xiangqi, so that the crime arrest department didn't know about him. The relationship between these two people must be very good. Back then, Chu Lian and Song Ling were able to get out of Xiangqi smoothly. The no-man's land came to Jingzhou and registered a registered permanent residence, most likely because of Xiangqi's help. Xiangqi is a rich second generation, and he can use money to open the way. Didn't he even falsify his own age? Of course, the most important thing Yes, what happened after Song Ling said 'he's crazy', but Xiang Qi didn't record it anymore. It should be said that after Chu Lian's incident, he never logged into this network disk again."

Aino stared at the words "he's crazy" and fell into deep thought.

Wenyue brought Xiaoxiong to deliver afternoon tea in that room, and seeing all the people from the crime arrest department, obviously staying in the same house, but sitting in different places and chatting with earphones, she was speechless.

How is this different from sitting face to face and chatting on WeChat?

The place where the murderer is arrested is a paradise of social terror.

Wen Yue shook her head and sighed, then skipped Xiangye, handed his share of food directly to Xing Zhou, and said: "Captain Xing, this is Xiangye's share, please help take it. If he is full of sleep, you take him Come down and sit down, it's getting cool down here."

Xing Zhou nodded, took it and left.

Wen Yue: "..."

Very good, it's Captain Xing's style.

But Aino was too lazy to go downstairs.The rocking chair has become a part of his body, and it is easier to perform miracles while lying down and thinking.

Xing Zhou also just asked Wen Yue's wishes, and seeing that he was unwilling, he didn't force it.He stood by the rocking chair and asked, "What do you think of the information just now?"

Aino was unusually silent just now.

Aino: "I don't have a clue yet."

Xing Zhou: "Don't worry. At least Xiangqi is facing you, it's not all fake."

Is this consolation?

Aino looked up at Xing Zhou, he knew that Xing Zhou saw his hidden emotions again.Just like when he was in the unfinished building, he saw that Aino was in a bad mood and helped clean the living room.After coming to Jingzhou, Aino gradually began to understand Xiangqi in the past, and it was inevitable to have complicated emotions.

The painting just now reminded Aino that at least he was born with love.In the distant Jingzhou that he didn't know, someone had painted a portrait of him and recorded it as an important event.

"Oh." Aino replied in a neutral tone, more like a mutter.

The next day, the Jingzhou Academy of Fine Arts' previous outstanding graduate works exhibition officially kicked off.

Because Xiangqi's painting has been lost, Aino doesn't plan to go to see it, and stays at the hotel for training with peace of mind.As he said yesterday, Chu Lian was actually pushing him forward. If he couldn't take the initiative to attack, he could only wait passively.

But he didn't expect that the turnaround would come so quickly.

The aligned painting appeared, right there at the exhibition.To be more precise, it is the imitation and plagiarism of that painting, which is majestically placed in the most eye-catching position.

The author is Qian Qin, and the title of the work is "Sorrowful Beauty".

The first one to discover was of course Cassia. Although he had limited energy, he still had an entire information team behind him, always paying attention to all aspects of the movement.

And an important reason why this painting was found to be plagiarized is that the person in the painting is Chu Lian, but not Chu Lian.

It was a scene of a young man sitting on a chair with a slightly dejected body, his body was naturally tilted, his eyes were downcast, and he was holding a book in his hand, but he was not reading it and was about to drop it.

The setting sun fell on him, but there was sadness in the thick and gorgeous colors.

Isn't this the scene Aino saw in Xiangqi's video?It's just that the person in the painting was replaced by another strange face, with a few small changes, Chu Lian is no longer Chu Lian.

Leaving aside whether Xiangqi will tamper with Chu Lian's appearance, just looking at the signature of this painting, it's not right at all!

"Qian Qin..." Xiangye immediately thought of that Professor Qian who suddenly appeared in their field of vision. He once collected a painting by Xiangqi, but that painting was stolen later.

His surname is also Qian.

"I was cheated!!!" Jue Ming's angry voice came from the headset, "Qian Qin is the son of Professor Qian, and that "Ai Yan" is his famous work! Either the painting was lost, or it was plagiarized by them I dare not take it out! Garbage!"

Aino took a deep breath, almost gritted his teeth and stood up, picked up his crutches and walked out.

In the front hall, everyone gathered together.

Xing Zhou quickly made arrangements: "Yangyang, Taozi, you go to the Academy of Fine Arts, take a good look at that painting, ask why it appeared in the exhibition, and then find a way to find a counselor with Qi. Jueming, staring at Qian Qin , don’t let him run away. Aino, follow me to find Professor Qian.”

Everyone split up.

Half an hour later, Xing Zhou and Aino came to the door of Professor Qian's house. They rang the doorbell and knocked on the door, but no one answered.At this time, the angry Caesar had already figured out the general situation of the Qin family. Professor Qian lived alone, a poor cultural person, with many students and high morals.

His son, Qian Qin, has gained both fame and fortune. He often appears under the spotlight and does not live with him.

Cassia had contacted Professor Qian before, so he knew his contact information, but he couldn't get through when he called again at this moment.

Xing Zhou and Xiangye glanced at each other and sensed something was wrong.Aino took the initiative to step aside, and Xing Zhou broke the door. "Bang!" The door was kicked open, hit the wall and bounced back.

The loud noise disturbed the neighbors, but neither Xing Zhou nor Aino had time to take care of it.

There was no one in the room, but one door was locked.Xing Zhou acted swiftly and resolutely, one door was kicked, and the two doors were also kicked, and the interval between before and after was less than ten seconds.

He strode in, followed by Aino, but frowned the second he walked in, because there was a terrible smell in the room.

Urine smell.

On the floor facing the door lay an elderly man with gray hair.A small bottle of white medicine was scattered around, the water glass was knocked over, and the glass shattered all over the floor.

He was already dead, the body was not yet cooled and stiff, as if he had just died.Perhaps he saw some horrifying scene before he died. His face was ferocious, his eyes were wide open, his hair was disheveled, and even his fallen body was in a twisted and struggling posture.

It was like seeing a ghost.

Didn't leave a drop of blood, but was scared incontinence.
