Pick up a cultural relic as a daughter-in-law

Chen Wenjie has a habit of taking a photo after every interview and keeping it as a document.The photos on the computer were arranged in chronological order from the first day Chen Wenjie went to the hospital for an interview. There were about a hundred or so of them, and this strange person appeared in the photos six times. accidental.Chen Wenzhao carefully checked the time of taking pictures, and out of ten pictures taken around 10:30 in the evening, nine of them showed this person.

"The room my interviewee lives in is 601, which is the first room at the end of the corridor. He will pass by here at around 10:30 every day, which means that he has to leave the room at this time every night and go outside."

With the keenness of a reporter, Chen Wenjie immediately found the news value from Chen Wenzhao's eyes, and became excited, grabbed the edge of the notebook and leaned towards Chen Wenzhao: "Do you also think that this guy is the same as the murderer in the hospital?" related to the case?"

Chen Wenzhao glanced at the elder sister, stood up holding Xiao Rui in his arms, "What murder case? Sis, you have read too many detective novels!" After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave.

Chen Wenjie immediately stood up as well, with a much more serious expression than before: "I am a witness."

After the words fell, Chen Wenzhao's steps had already stopped.

"When the policeman died, it was 10:30 in the middle of the night. I was chatting speculatively with the interviewee that day, and I forgot the time. I didn't realize it was time to leave until after eleven o'clock. In the corridor, because I bumped into a paramedic My clothes were dirty, and I wasted some time going to the bathroom to clean them up. By the time I came out, it was past twelve o’clock. When I passed by the financial office on the first floor, I happened to see the policeman who had been disemboweled and died there. I reported this case." When Chen Wenjie spoke, her face paled a little, as if recalling the scene of the day: "I also took pictures at [-]:[-] that night, but I didn't take pictures of that person at all, and it was The only time. That person went out very regularly, but the night the policeman died, he didn’t pass by the door of our room and went downstairs. This means that he either didn’t go out, or he walked to the other side. And the other side of the corridor went down and faced him. Finance Office."

"Sister, you're overthinking." Chen Wenzhao frowned after listening to Chen Wenjie's analysis quietly.

"I have compared the photos, and the length of the human hand is basically the same as the physical wound." Chen Wenjie said, "Wen Zhao, there is a monster living in that hospital, right? If you don't tell me the clue, then I will tell you the clue." go find it."

Chen Wenzhao knew his sister's stubborn temper best, so he had no choice but to press his forehead helplessly and sit back on the sofa: "Sister, I knew that you are not a person who knows how to be idle..."

Turning on the laptop, Chen Wenjie smiled nervously: "There is no idler in our Chen family!" Saying this, the mouse clicked quickly, and a hidden folder was brought up. angle photo.

"Where are you from..." Chen Wenzhao was taken aback for a moment.

"I have my way, you don't need to worry about it, just tell me now, you know what you know in your heart."

"To tell you the truth, I became interested in this case because I was very familiar with the dead policeman and Captain Zhang who is now taking over this case." That kind of murder method is definitely not human, but it is very strange..." Chen Wenzhao pointed to the photos on the computer: "Look at the people in these photos, they are all raising their arms to cover their faces, as if they are trying to cover their faces." Appearance. He has a human mind, but his strength is beyond ordinary people. This monster can't fight recklessly, relying on the current police force alone will definitely kill him, I have to find out what this thing is before I can know his weakness."

"If this theory is true, this monster is likely to be a premeditated murder? That's why he started hiding himself from before?"

Chen Wenzhao frowned, and suddenly raised his head to look at Xiao Rui: "The safe in the hospital was stolen three times, was it you?"

Xiao Rui shook her head: "The only time is the one that made you angry."

"Wen Zhao?" Chen Wenjie obviously didn't know what code words the two of them were typing. Just as he was about to question, Chen Wenzhao rushed to say, "The previous theft of the safe was probably related to this monster, because the police started to investigate him, and maybe they found some The evidence was silenced by this guy."

"So...at least the hospital is safe now, and his goal is only to check his people."

Chen Wenzhao nodded, and was about to say something more, when suddenly Xiao Ruihu's paw slapped on the laptop screen, Chen Wenzhao was taken aback, he was really afraid that this kid would smash the screen without any seriousness, so he grabbed it with his hand. Xiao Rui's shrunken wrist.Xiao Rui didn't struggle, just stared at Chen Wenzhao's eyes.

"What do you know?" Chen Wenzhao didn't care about his eldest sister's surprised look at the moment, and asked the childlike Xiaorui directly.

"I feel that it is the same as us." Xiao Rui was silent for a while, with a distorted expression on his face, as if he was trying to organize his words and express himself correctly: "We... have not really existed since ancient times. ...It's you who use your imagination to create images and make real things. After hundreds of thousands of years of evolution, dead things have life...so..."

Xiao Rui's speech was very incomprehensible, obviously he didn't know how to express it in human language, Chen Wenzhao was stunned for a while, but after all, he was familiar with antiquities and history, and he immediately understood——

Pixiu is good, and everything else is good. This is something invented by the ancient working people. It represents a beautiful vision and does not exist at all.The reason why Xiaorui will appear alive in front of me now is because the people of the Eastern Han Dynasty created him—they made various handicrafts through myths and legends, including this green and white jade Pixiu. After being passed down, absorbing the energy of heaven and earth, it gradually became aura, and finally turned into a living Pixiu, and only dead things had life.

In other words, no matter what kind of magical creature it is, as long as it is of the same kind as Xiao Rui, it must have evolved from a dead thing.Now that the murderous monster is alive, there must be a corresponding dead object that has been lost recently somewhere, and the greatest possibility is that the dead object is a cultural relic stored in a museum.

After figuring this out, Chen Wenzhao immediately became enlightened, grabbed a piece of clothing and was about to go out.

"Wen Zhao?!" Chen Wenjie was taken aback and shouted, but Chen Wenzhao didn't bother to respond, so he just said, "I'm going to work!" He ran out like crazy, the moment the door was closed, Xiao Rui followed suit.

The museum where Chen Wenzhao works is the largest museum in Tianjin, with a particularly complete information system, and the archives system in the museum is connected in real time with museums across the country.In other words, by logging into the file system here, you can check the entry and exit of cultural relics in other museums at any time.

In the archives late at night, a computer flickered on, and Chen Wenzhao looked at the screen, quickly inquiring about the collections of the nearby museums.There are tens of thousands of materials, and Chen Wenzhao's eyes start to blur.Hour after hour passed, my eyes were almost sour and tears came out, when the phone rang.

"Hello? Sister, you..."

"I found something in common! In those pictures, do you remember, you said that weirdo was doing the same thing, putting his arm in front of his face, right? I stared at that picture for three hours, That action was so natural, I don't think he was trying to hide his appearance, he just did a routine action - wiping his mouth. Why did he wipe his mouth?" Chen Wenjie was silent for a while.

"Sister? Where are you? Why did I hear the sound of the cart?"

"It was the nurse pushing the medicine delivery cart past me."

"Nurse? Did you go to the hospital?"

"Guess what I found here? It's eleven o'clock, and I found water stains in the corridor near the stairs, uh... very sticky water stains-this thing, it's like... saliva."

That monster is still hiding in the hospital!

Chen Wenzhao shook his hand holding the mouse, and suddenly shouted: "Sister, get out of there, get out of there immediately!"

"I know! He's slobbering!" Chen Wenjie's voice suddenly became high-pitched, looking particularly excited: "All the internal organs of the policeman disappeared, and only a pair of skins remained because they were all eaten—that strange man didn't kill people. He is looking for food, every night he goes out to look for food!"

After saying this, Chen Wenjie hung up the phone beeping, leaving only Chen Wenzhao listening to the beeping sound, looking at the screen with a pale face. On the screen was a photo of a stolen collection, which was from the Western Han Dynasty Bronze ware from the period, with intricate patterns painted on it.No one is more familiar with this kind of pattern painting than Chen Wenzhao. This is the most popular Taotie pattern in the Western Han Dynasty.
