Abyss of ignorance

Chapter 158 Two More People

"The identities of the two deceased people have finally been confirmed," Yue Jianfeng said. "The comparison with the people who had been reported as missing has been fruitless. After the announcement was made a few days ago, the family members came to verify."

"The family members of the two deceased did not report their disappearance?" Lin Xiaodong asked in surprise after hearing this.

"Yes, we only found out after we asked in detail that the two deceased had confessed to their families that they were going to retreat to participate in an important training, so after the two deceased lost contact, the family members didn't think much about it."

"Retreat training?"

"Yes, and before their disappearance, the two deceased had a common feature. They both encountered major setbacks in their careers. One was the failure of starting a business, and the other was unemployed and lost their jobs. According to the memories of the families of both parties, the two deceased Some time before his disappearance, he suddenly jumped out of his depressed mood, as if he had rekindled his hope for life. It's just that he didn't expect to die in the end."

"Is there a way to find out where these two people got the news of the so-called training?" Lin Xiaodong asked, thinking, there must be a place where these scattered losers can find Lin Zhengyang.

"We are tracing the whereabouts of the two deceased before their death to see if there is any overlap." Yue Jianfeng replied, "By the way, we can look for this together with Team Lin's photo of the painter you mentioned. After all, the two The death incident has an inseparable relationship with the painter."

……

"Team Lin, what are you kidding? Isn't this the posthumous photo on the tombstone?" Yue Jianfeng who received the photo immediately called Lin Xiaodong back and asked incredulously.

Lin Xiaodong sent him a black and white photo of Xu Hangjun's tombstone taken at Anle Cemetery.

"Trust me, just ask like this." Lin Xiaodong said firmly.

"Then it must be a female ghost? Oh, I remembered. At the beginning, Zhang Ada said that Gao Hanyu had seen the ghost of Xu Hangjun before his death. Isn't it true?"

"It's two different things. What we're looking for isn't Xu Hangjun, but this person is just dressed like her."

"No, Team Lin, what do you know? Share it?"

"..." Asked by Yue Jianfeng, Lin Xiaodong suddenly didn't know where to start, "Jianfeng, I went to Nanpu."

"Nanpu? Have you gone to investigate the case of Shen's extermination?"

"Well, the Shen Guoming that Lao Liang met was probably Lin Zhengyang."

"What?" Yue Jianfeng was not without surprise when he heard the news, "Captain Lin, you can't talk nonsense. The case of Shen's extermination happened after Lin Zhengyang's death."

"What if Lin Zhengyang is not dead?"

"Impossible. If Shen Guoming is Lin Zhengyang, what about the real Shen Guoming?"

"In the dossier where Lin Zhengyang died. Before the Shen family was wiped out, Shen Guoming's wife came to Linzhou. No one knew what happened to her after she came to Linzhou. One thing is certain, Lin Zhengyang, who pretended to be Shen Guoming, watched At the risk of his identity being exposed, he killed him.

However, the Nanpu police did not expect that the biggest victim would be the actual murderer.The old Liang back then would never have thought that the poor man who pretended to be aphasia was not Shen Guoming. "

"Team Lin, this Lin Zhengyang is your grandfather, that means your grandfather is still alive?"

"Jianfeng, I'd rather he wasn't." Lin Xiaodong said seriously, "In short, this female artist has a close relationship with Lin Zhengyang, we must find her!"

He was standing downstairs in the Wan'an community. The rain in Linzhou was fluctuating, and now it finally showed signs of stopping completely.

Near noon, Linzhou in the flood season was not much cooler because of the rain. The sultry wind was blowing with humid air, reminding him of Nanpu.

It's just that the salty smell from the ocean was replaced by the smell of fireworks in the city.

It's time to go back and take a look at the gallery that "belongs" to him. The painter, she let him go to Nanpu as he wished. Lin Xiaodong wanted to see what new paintings would appear in the next few days.

He got on his motorcycle and walked through the steaming heat.

Soon, he arrived in the neighborhood where he grew up, everything was normal, the only abnormal thing was the gallery, which disappeared.

The glass shop doors were locked, everything was emptied, and the signs were taken down.

As if it never existed.

"Mom, why is the gallery downstairs missing?" Lin Xiaodong entered the house and said casually.

However, the house was empty and there was no one there.

Lin Xiaodong nodded his head. When he opened the door just now, the door was not locked.

He had been lucky enough to think that the gallery in front of his house would not do anything to his family, but at this moment, he had the worst imagining.

I checked the kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom, but there was no one there.

He hurriedly called Mother Lin, but no one answered.

The shadow of Nanpu followed him like a ghost. In a panic, his eyes fell on the painting of reeds on the wall, and he saw that there were two more people in the originally empty landscape painting, with their backs to the painting and hands in their hands. Arm in arm towards the vast swampy lake ahead.

At this time, the phone rang, and Lin Xiaodong hoped that Lin Ma would call back.

The result was Yue Jianfeng.

"Team Lin, last time you said that the test report for that painting came out. There is nothing wrong with the paint itself, it is just ordinary oil paint. But the technician found that part of the painting was covered up."

"What?" Lin Xiaodong couldn't concentrate on listening to Yue Jianfeng's words at the moment. The backs of his parents in the painting were enough to disrupt his strongest nerves.

"There is another person in that painting, a girl in a pink dress, beside the man in black. Unlike the man in black, this little girl is facing off-screen, and it looks like Looking at the entire murder scene.

Team Lin, you said that the painter you met was also wearing pink clothes. "

"No, no, at that time, this person should not have been born yet, this timeline is wrong..." Lin Xiaodong said, somewhat incoherent.

"Uh, Team Lin, what's the matter with you? Paintings can be fabricated..." Yue Jianfeng obviously sensed something was wrong with Lin Xiaodong.

"Jianfeng, I'm going to call the police to you." Lin Xiaodong said suddenly.

"Huh?" Yue Jianfeng felt very strange when he heard Lin Xiaodong's words, "Team Lin, what happened to you?" Years of tacit understanding made him feel that the anxiety coming from the other end of the phone at this moment was extraordinary.

"My parents may have been kidnapped..." Lin Xiaodong stared at the weird painting in front of him, and he couldn't believe it when he said this, "How dare she?"

As soon as the words were finished, footsteps could be heard from the falsely concealed door behind him, and someone approached from far to near.
