Abyss of ignorance

Chapter 135 The Painting of the Undead

"Mom!" Lin Xiaodong shouted loudly.

"What's the matter? I was taken aback." Mama Lin put down her work and came out of the kitchen.

Lin Xiaodong pointed to the oil painting on the wall and asked, "Where did this painting come from?"

Seeing Lin's mother, she couldn't understand Lin Xiaodong's nervousness: "I just passed by the newly opened gallery downstairs when I was shopping for vegetables. What's the matter? It's a big fuss."

"Where is there a gallery downstairs in our house?" Lin Xiaodong felt that he was not so nervous when he was in the wetland. full of threats.

Lin's mother hadn't noticed Lin Xiaodong's vigilance and anxiety, so she said to herself: "Just the one that is being renovated in the past two days, don't we see it every day from the windows of our house?"

Lin Xiaodong ran to the window. It turned out to be the place where trucks blocked the door in the early morning. The sign had already been lit. He was preoccupied with the case, but he didn't care when he passed by just now. The sign said "Richuxuan".

After the Aijuntang incident, Lin Xiaodong is now extra sensitive about his own name.

He didn't think he was over-interpreting the word "Richuxuan", doesn't it just mean the east?
Before he had time to think about it, he trotted downstairs.

Near dinner, this street in the old city is full of fireworks, but this newly opened shop is incompatible with the fireworks in this world.

He walked through the traffic from get off work to the opposite side of the road. Standing in front of the shop, he saw two sentences on both sides of the door: "Jiang Ming's tide has not yet set, and Lin Xiaori has just hung."

Lin Xiaodong is a rough person, but now he has a different understanding of the words in front of him.

Jiang Mingchao is still talking about Jiang Wanchao?Lin Xiaori Chuxuan, could it be him?

But what does this mean?
In addition to the oil painting that entered the house, everything can't be a coincidence.

In the eyes of others, it was nothing more than romantic and artistic fantasies, but now, in Lin Xiaodong's view, it was a real nightmare staged.

Those swollen and deformed nameless corpses are still in the latest part of his memory. Who is it that directly moved such horror to his door.

He breathed a sigh of relief and walked into the gallery.

The situation in the gallery shocked him again. It turned out that it wasn’t the painting in his home that happened to be painted with reeds, but all the paintings in this gallery were Linzhou wetlands, from every angle and scene, especially the reeds. place, recurring.

Here, it seems to be a reappearance of the wetland scene.

However, from the time he entered the gallery to the present, the store with its doors open was empty.

A paid QR code is placed on the side of each painting, as if it is a self-purchased gallery, and there is no fear of someone stealing it directly.

The owner of this gallery, Lin Xiaodong already has someone in mind - that young female painter who suddenly appeared in the reed marshes and disappeared without a trace.

"Jiang Ming's tide has not yet set, and Lin Xiao's sun has just risen." Suddenly there was a person behind him who was leisurely reading two lines of poems at the door, with a clear voice, it was Ye Mimi at first hearing, but when he turned around, it was indeed her, I don't know what Time is already standing behind him.

"Huh? You're still here? Isn't Jiangnan Medicine busy recently? Mr. Ye is too leisurely, right?" Lin Xiaodong said angrily.

"You Chengxin Temple from Song Zhiwen is quite thoughtful." Ye Mimi commented.

"I want to find out who owns this store." Lin Xiaodong looked at the paintings all over the wall, "You really don't know that woman?"

"Which one?" Ye Mimi raised her eyebrows, not sure if she asked knowingly or she really didn't know.

"That female painter."

"I am engaged in drug research, what do you know about painters?"

"She came after me." Lin Xiaodong said firmly.

"Officer Lin, you have become narcissistic." Ye Mimi looked at him with observing eyes. Lin Xiaodong always felt that in Ye Mimi's eyes, he was no different from those prey in the mountains.

"Narcissism? Are you sure it's not PTSD after being used by you?" Lin Xiaodong brooded.

Ye Mimi just smiled, and then said to the two poems at the door, "Don't worry, I don't think she has any malice towards you."

"Ang? No malice? Is what happened at Reed Beach a coincidence? Frame me as a murder suspect." Lin Xiaodong disagreed with Ye Mimi's statement.

"She may just want you to be the second Jiang Wanchao." Ye Mimi's rosy lips curled up slightly, "The tide has not yet set, and the sun is rising. Isn't it obvious? How interesting, as expected, art is not the same .” She said as she strolled in the gallery, looking at the paintings on the wall, just looking at them silently, but said nothing.

Lin Xiaodong knew that all of Ye Mimi's actions were meaningful, and she would not look at these paintings for no reason.

"What did you find?" Lin Xiaodong asked in a deep voice.

Ye Mimi straightened up and asked Lin Xiaodong, "What did you see?"

"These paintings are all landscape sketches of the Linzhou Wetland." Lin Xiaodong replied honestly, he now knows how to exchange with Ye Mimi, and only if he gives his own information first, can he exchange something valuable from her s things.

Sure enough, Ye Mimi looked at him steadfastly and said, "What I saw was death."

"Huh? I don't understand." Lin Xiaodong frowned.

"Because of the perspective of these paintings." Ye Mimi turned to the paintings on the wall, pointing to them one by one, "For example, this one." She pointed to one of them as she spoke, and saw a muddy spot on the painting. On the ground, a withered persimmon tree, with a gloomy sky behind it.

Lin Xiaodong looked at it, not knowing why: "I don't know what's the problem here, except that the style is a bit suppressed."

"Looking up, from this angle, only people can see it when lying on the ground. I understand this, after all, not many people are willing to lie down in the dirty mud unless they have to." Ye Mimi said, pointing to another picture A photo of the swamp, "This level is so high, if it is viewed from a human perspective, only the eyes of that person are on the level. In other words, his nose and mouth are underwater."

"Ah, drowned..." Lin Xiaodong immediately responded, "I had a case before, and a child drowned in a swimming pool like this, because his upper face was still floating on the water, so he was not caught immediately. Discover."

"You said that these are landscape sketches, and painting requires a long time in situ. If this person really created on the spot according to this perspective, then I can only say that he is dead, and these are undead. paintings." Ye Mimi said.

Lin Xiaodong and Ye Mimi stood in this gallery where there was no one else. Even though there was a crowd of people outside, Lin Xiaodong still felt that his back was empty.
