"Seriously, why did you come to me?"

Hand-woven high-end carpets, hand-made furniture, the latest computer, of course, the most cutting-edge and best system installed in this era——

There are three cups of black coffee on the reception table.

"Sorry, I only have this type of coffee here."

The owner of this office smiled politely at the two visiting guests.

"Then, if you want to ask about Kleist, I suggest that you stop looking for me, and go directly to him."

Obviously, this is not the first time he has dealt with visitors who want to find Kleist.

"No, of course not."

One of the younger youths shook his head.

"No cell phone, no internet, not even a driver's license, medical certificate. He only has a social security number."

"Of course, our father was a total anti-modern guy."

The words spoken by the young man revealed Kleist and his identity.

"Maybe successful artists are a little different from ordinary people? For example, my brother Kleist and my father Douglas, both of them have implemented a way of life that is against modernization."

Although he was constantly expressing emotion, what he said was all information that could be collected as long as he worked hard.He wants to use this kind of nonsense to make these visitors take away what they want.

This young man is Andre Menlex, an upstart in Silicon Valley. His internet company has an annual revenue of more than [-] million US dollars, and he is a proper diamond king.

But more importantly, he has a very famous father and a very famous brother.

Douglas Menlex, the most famous watercolor painter of the last century.

The style of his paintings was calm and melancholy in the early stage, but changed drastically in the middle and late stages, with bright and rich colors, and the author's strong emotions are fully expressed through the pictures.

This made him a highly sought-after painter over the last century.

At its peak, one of his paintings could fetch millions of dollars.

And the most famous thing in his life is that he strictly abided by the commandment of never painting portraits.

Douglas' second son, Kleist, is another legend.

He never painted realistic subjects. Most of the paintings are legendary species, such as dragons flying in the sky and breathing flames, sirens sitting on rocks and singing, attracting distant ships to approach, all legends Species are revived under his pen.If that's all, he is just a second-rate painter, but his paintings have the power to turn decay into magic. When the exhibition was held, the flow of people was surging, and the paintings with unbelievable prices were one after another. After the exhibition ended, those works marked as not for sale were all airlifted on the plane, and returned to their creators after several turnovers.

The most famous of that exhibition is that it exhibited the only portrait that Douglas ever painted in his life.

In the painting, the girl wearing a wreath, wearing a white skirt, is sitting by the stream, with her bare feet immersed in the clear water. She is sitting sideways, but she turned her head and looked over.

Those sky-like blue eyes stare at the audience outside the painting.Lifelike as a real person.

In the forest, a girl sitting by a stream.

The light and bright colors are completely different from Douglas's early or middle and late painting styles.

But this is undoubtedly a masterpiece.

No matter from the perspective of money or art, the value of this painting is so high that people dare not easily estimate it.

The painting was not for sale, of course, because it depicted Douglas' third and last youngest daughter, Cecil Menlex.

"We need the whereabouts of Kleist. His painting...can help me solve a very important problem."

Another man who came with the youth preached thus.

"Andrew Linford, how many people were killed?"

Hearing the name Andrew Linford, Andre raised his eyebrows, "Oh..." He thought of the meaning of the name.

The unscrupulous killing of girls aged 14 to 16 in four states, the number of victims is well documented, and only seven bodies were found, but judging from Andrew Linford's confession and the evidence found, there are at least ten more The bodies of up to thirty children have not been found.

Without a body, conviction is very difficult—the odds of success are pitifully low.

Prosecutors wanted to make a deal with Linford, in exchange for life imprisonment for him to reveal the whereabouts of the rest of the murdered girls.

But Linford wanted more.

He wanted a sentence that would allow him to walk out of prison in his lifetime.

All of a sudden, there was an impasse.

Then after a long tug-of-war, Linford said—

"I want to meet Kleist and Cecil and talk for a while, 10 minutes alone. Of course, you can stay on the sidelines, and it doesn't matter if you stop immediately if you have any questions."

Andrew Linford is a criminal with a high IQ. He has a Ph.D. in physics and mathematics, has his own books, and teaches at a university.

He himself was a man of impeccable good looks.

Like Ted Bundy, no young woman would say no to a handsome young man approached with confidence.None of them discovered his true colors as a serial murderer until death came.

One of the things Andrew Linford was most known for before his crimes were revealed was that he was a huge fan of the Menrex paintings.

Now, a gentleman in power who is eager to make meritorious service for the sake of the future general election is desperately looking forward to solving this case.

Therefore, he even wanted the two Menrex brothers and sisters of the Menrex family, who were still living as hermits in the mountains in the 21st century, to come out and meet Lin Ford.

Just 10 minutes of conversation can solve dozens of missing persons cases.

Look how easy it is.

So there was a situation where these two agents came to Andre Menrex.

"Well, that's why my father bought the land around the house. Trespassing on private property, God knows how much my brother would like it to be sent to him as an excuse to kill in self-defense."

Andre spared no effort to belittle his fellow brothers.

But no matter what he did, he couldn't dispel the determination of these two detectives to invite his brother and sister out of the deep mountains and old forests.

On the car driving towards the destination, Andre told the two agents: "Remember, never say any color-related words in front of Cecil when Kleist is around. He I will go crazy. Because, my little sister is a very rare congenital achromatopsia."

Born in a family where both father and son are talented artists, but they are patients with congenital achromatopsia-slightly faint colors cannot be recognized since birth.

This has to be said to be a complete tragedy.

Wait a moment.

Both agents thought of the transformation of Douglas Menlex's painting style in the middle and late stages.
