a hundred ways to die

"What's so strange about this, it's a painting." Tao Liqun rolled his eyes speechlessly. The direction of Shen Li's finger was a photo. The content of the photo was a long dining table, but it was not far from the dining table, in the corner of the wall , there is an easel with a painting on it, in which there is a strange boy.

The strange thing is that the focus of this photo is not the painting that was forgotten in the corner, but people who look at the photo can see him at a glance. Shen Yue continued to rummage through the pile of photos, and finally pulled out a picture from it. An enlarged photograph of the painting from the front.

The whole painting is in cool colors, and it depicts an oriental boy. The boy is cutting the cake in front of him with his slender fingers. He looks very happy, with a smile on his face. You can see the mood of the person who drew this painting. Very good, but very strange, Shen Yue's intuition told him that while the author of this painting felt happy, he was also very scared...

There are obvious traces of modification in one corner of the painting. The original gray background has been painted with a light color. Tao Liqun has studied such strange things in the research institute for a long time, and naturally he has a little feeling. A big In the scene, if it gives people a sense of incongruity, such as different colors, this will happen. There are only two possibilities. One is that the author is playing with it out of boredom, and the other is to cover up the original thing.

This painting looks like the author painted it with great care, so the first possibility is temporarily removed, and the second possibility is to cover something...

Shen Yue touched the painting on the photo with his hand, the sunlight scattered through the glass window of the coffee shop, and shone on it, showing a blurred light and shadow, Shen Yue suddenly stood up from the seat, a somewhat scary Ideas formed in his mind.

Those colored patches that looked like they were added later to cover up the stains, like these splashing light spots, flew in one direction, and the background of the painting was also added later, which is why Shen Yue felt that the painting Causes that would bring him two completely different emotions.

That is to say, this painting was drawn by two people, one is happy and the other is sad, then doubts arise, first: why did you change the painting midway, and second: why there are such strange dotted spots .What happened during this time.

Tao Liqun listened to Shen Li's analysis slowly, and nodded from time to time. As a friend, the two of them didn't have much contact with each other when they were in college. He likes to study some supernatural and ghost things, because he also studies this at home. , although Shen Yue and himself are in the same dormitory, but as the president of the student union, this proud man has been busy with his own affairs, until one time a person died in his school.

It was not an ordinary case. The scene was really bloody. A man had his intestines strangled, his stomach was cut open, and he was lying there lying on his back with his face distorted.

Uncharacteristically, Shen Yue stood in the front, and recklessly climbed over the fence set up by the police. After seeing each other clearly, the two people who suddenly bumped into each other in the dark felt the interesting fate. Later, both Shen Yue and Tao Liqun were caught. Afterwards, Shen Yue seemed to be a different person. He revealed his true nature and was no longer afraid. After finishing his studies, he rejected the family business and everything, and resolutely opened the detective agency upstairs.

Even though it has been a while since I left school, there are still various deeds of this genius in the school. "Crazy Shen" has become synonymous with this former genius. "Burning Shen Oak's reins and nerves called reason, the runaway wild horse can no longer be quiet.

Shen Yue has an astonishing talent when researching cases, which is why Tao Liqun brought these materials to Shen Yue to see. Ten days ago, a sea ship was discovered in the waters of country Z, and they quickly surrounded the ship After the ship, the officers soon discovered that it was an empty ship, and the age was definitely far from what it is today.

A group of experts was dispatched urgently, but after dozens of days, there was still no progress. Why there was no one on board, why they appeared in the waters of country Z, these are all unknown, and later we can only use some inexplicable human beings. To explain this phenomenon, Tao Liqun brought these materials to Shen Yue in the hope that this lunatic Shen, whose perspective and brain circuit are different from others, could give him some hints.

Facts have proved that Shen Yue did not disappoint Tao Liqun. He put the two pictures in his hands together. The tiny outline behind the original gray background was drawn little by little, and Tao Liqun's eyes widened in surprise.

The scenery hidden in the gray background of these portraits is exactly the same as that of the dining table opposite the portraits. The candles on the dining table, the table and several chairs, tableware, and overturned cups, these things are connected into one under Shen Yue's hands. A piece slowly appeared.

The original problem has not been solved but new problems have emerged. This painting is enough for them to study for a long time. After all, no one has seen anything a hundred years ago. It is difficult to restore it...

For the next few hours, Tao Liqun hoped that Shen Yue would make some breakthrough, but after Shen Yue smoked one cigarette after another in the coffee shop, Tao Liqun confiscated the photos.

"Let's go, let's go to eat. If you think about it like this now, you won't get a result." According to Shen Li's character of thinking about the case, if he was left alone, he would definitely be able to do it without eating or drinking for a few days.

Shen Yue extinguished the cigarette in his hand, picked up the clothes that were put aside, and walked out of the coffee shop. The painting was still lingering in Shen Li's mind. The moment he opened the door of the coffee shop, he felt as if someone walked by Walked over, but when Shen Yue raised his head in a trance, he found that it was his hallucination.

Shen Li followed Tao Liqun slowly, and finally sat in the open-air barbecue place not far away, unwilling to leave, Tao Liqun had to sit here too, and the two best buddies sat in this place that was completely incompatible with their identities Eat and drink.

"By the way, your detective agency, are there still some cases of cats and dogs recently?" In order to distract Shen Yue's attention, Tao Liqun planned to talk about other topics.

Shen Li nodded, "But there is one who is interested..."

"Oh~ What is more attractive than the case?" Tao Liqun was aroused after hearing Shen Li's words, "Woman?"

"No, it's a man." Shen Li bit off the meat on the skewer, with a tangled look on his face.And Tao Liqun stood up suddenly, looking at his old friend in disbelief.

Shen Li sat and continued to eat meat, did not look at his friend who jumped up in shock, his expression became very subtle, as if he was puzzled, his brows were frowned.

"A man? Who is it?" Tao Liqun was afraid of hearing something shocking come out of Shen Yue's mouth again, but he still had to ask carefully.

"Landlord." Shen Yue looked at the oil stain in his hand with disgust and impatiently wiped it back and forth with a handkerchief, while answering the question, "The landlord of my detective agency is the owner of a coffee shop. I rented there for several months. I have never seen the boss before, and all the observations show that the boss is always there, but the strange thing is, I have no impression." Shen Yue seemed to be immersed in his own world, and did not watch Tao Liqun speak.

Heaved a sigh of relief, seeing that Shen Yue was still thinking about something with his head down, he got up again, and called the boss to settle the bill. The barbecue stall in Xia Tian was really busy, and the boss didn't hear Tao Liqun's greeting, so he couldn't help it. Therefore, Tao Liqun had no choice but to walk over, but for some reason, he collided with a figure suddenly, and when he recovered, he saw a woman sitting on the ground moaning.

Tao Liqun reached out to help, but suddenly the woman slapped her hand away, and then the woman began to shout, "Indecent, you are a pervert!!!" Then she stood up, shook her hand and gave the ancient ruins research expert a big big slap in the face.

The situation became more delicate. The woman said that she was molested, but Tao Liqun, the person involved, knew that this was a matter of where and where, let alone molestation, even the collision just now was not his fault. He obviously went to pay the bill by himself. , this woman rushed over by herself, he just wanted to help the lady out of politeness, but he didn't expect to meet a female hooligan.Tao Liqun pouted.

But in fact, it doesn't matter what the facts are, people will only believe what they want to believe. In their eyes, Tao Liqun's somewhat "unruly" attire has become a symbol of a perverted robber. The girl who slapped her hand naturally became a chaste and fierce heroine who is not afraid of evil. There was a wave of applause and protests. At this time, a girl rushed in, and then repeatedly checked her friend for any injuries, and then looked defensive. He looked at Tao Liqun intently.

A man followed the girl in. He took out his mobile phone and stared at Tao Liqun, as if he was going to call the police immediately.

The situation was getting serious. Tao Liqun didn't want to be locked up in the police station. Although he could get out soon, it would be inconceivable to delay his rest time for a day and a half because of this kind of shit.

Besides, I am seriously lacking in sleep now, and I am already struggling to come to Shen Yue to talk about the case. Although I have taken a nap in the coffee shop just now, I was shocked by Shen Yue just now. After relaxing, he became sleepy again, and went to the police station, what a joke.

Just when Tao Liqun was about to roll up his sleeves to have a fight, and then run with Madman Shen, Shen Li's voice came, and he had appeared in the crowd surrounded by him at some point, looking condescendingly at the man who had just accused Tao Liqun of being a pervert The girl asked calmly, "Shouldn't you thank my friend? What should I call you? Miss San."
