Volume 3: Mystery in the Painting Chapter 176: Painting Crazy
"You are really speechless!" Gu Yuanci said this, but still went to the kitchen.
Lian Bufan had a proud look on his face, and it seemed really interesting to have trouble with Gu Yuanci.
Gu Yuanci made a few side dishes to greet Hang Tianyi and the others.
At this time, Hang Tianyi explained the purpose of his visit: "Master Gu, we are here this time to ask for your help with some questions about paintings!"
"In this regard, I can indeed say something!"
I originally thought that this iceberg painting fanatic would refuse directly, but unexpectedly, Gu Yuanci agreed quickly and handsomely.
Lian Bufan asked someone to take out four Five Beautiful Pictures, and then Hang Tianyi said: "How much does Master know about the Five Beautiful Pictures?"
Gu Yuanci stood up, looked at the four paintings carefully, and said, "What a painting!"
Hang Tianyi couldn't help but be startled. He was full of expectations, but there were only two words like this? Who doesn't know that this is a good painting?
"What do you want to know?" Gu Yuanci asked.
"Is there any secret hidden in this painting? In addition, under normal circumstances, what is the method to hide secrets?" Hang Tianyi asked.
Gu Yuanci was stunned when he heard these words. His cold face suddenly showed a bit of smile: "Does Hang Baotou think that there is really a treasure in these five beautiful pictures or is it the secret of immortality?"
Hang Tianyi said: "Five Beautiful Pictures involves many murder cases, I have to think in this direction!"
"In some paintings, it is indeed possible to hide secrets. This method of hiding can also be divided into explicit hiding and hidden hiding! Explicit hiding means doing tricks on the materials, such as adding layers inside. This method is very common!"
"There are two ways to hide. One is to use the inscriptions on the paintings, which are the so-called acrostic poems. The other is to use the content in the paintings, through the landscapes, characters, and scenes presented in the paintings to hide them.
Something is hidden in there!"
"However, among these four five-beautiful pictures, it is basically impossible to hide secrets in the content of the paintings. Although the inscriptions are suitable for the scene, they are not poems. It is obviously impossible to hide anything!"
When Hang Tianyi heard this, he frowned secretly. If there is no secret in the painting, then why are so many people flocking to it?
All of this is the murderer's method? What is his purpose?
"Thank you, Master, for your guidance!" Hang Tianyi cupped his fists and saluted.
"It's nothing, I don't know if I can help!" Gu Yuanci said.
There was a faint smile on Hang Tianyi's face: "Master is willing to help, which is a great favor to us!"
"You don't have to be polite, Mr. Hang!" Gu Yuanci was obviously not good at making polite remarks.
Hang Tianyi nodded: "In that case, the two of us will leave first!"
Gu Yuanci and Lian Bufan sent Hang Tianyi out of the yard.
When I came here, I took a carriage from Lian Feifan. When I came back, I could only walk.
Hang Tianyi felt that he could also see the scenery along the way.
"Master Gu is so beautiful that he is truly a hidden master!" Liu Ying said, his eyes full of reverence.
The little brother rarely said such words. Obviously, in his heart, Gu Yuanci was indeed a person worthy of respect.
It is undeniable that Gu Yuanci really has a noble demeanor.
No matter in terms of money or status, as long as he wanted to, he would never be much worse than Fan Dinghua and the others.
However, Gu Yuanci stayed away from the bustling city of Beijing and came to the mountains to live a life of poverty and contentment.
Not to mention other people, Hang Tianyi felt that he couldn't do it.
"He does have a master's demeanor!" Hang Tianyi said, but for some reason, the more master he is, the more likely he is to have problems.
It's not that Hang Tianyi thinks too much, but it was always like this when watching TV in his previous life.
"Brother, what do you mean, do you think Master Gu is not an expert?" Liu Ying heard the implication of Hang Tianyi's words.
Hang Tianyi smiled and said: "Have you ever heard of the saying that the great hermit hides in the city?"
Only then did Liu Ying realize that her eldest brother was really at a higher level than him.
Da Yin hid in the city, while Gu Yuanci hid in the mountains, as if he was afraid that others would not know that he was a reclusive master.
This is Hang Tianyi's feeling, but Gu Yuanci is not interested in money or status, so Hang Tianyi really can't see through Gu Yuanci.
"Other painters are afraid that others will learn their skills, but Master Gu does not shy away from telling us the content of the painting and telling us some secrets. Such a person is upright and open-minded!" Liu
Ying said.
Hang Tianyi nodded. He agreed with Liu Ying about being more professional.
"There is no secret in the content of the Five Beautiful Pictures. Our attention should be on the inscription of the painting. If it is not a poem, is it a riddle or something?" Liu Ying asked again.
Hang Tianyi recalled the words on the four paintings in his mind, but he never got the key.
"The Five Beautiful Pictures are only the fourth one now. If the problem is really above the Five Beautiful Pictures, then the fifth one should be released in the near future!" Hang Tianyi said.
This is obviously speculation, but it is well-founded. People who handle cases need to think wildly, but they also pay more attention to evidence.
"Could it be that the owner of the fifth five-beautiful picture is the manipulator behind this?" Liu Ying asked.
Hang Tianyi shook his head and said he didn't know.
"This case is probably the most complicated and confusing one we've had since we became detectives!"
Liu Ying's expression was a bit solemn. He was constantly analyzing the case in his mind, but it was a mess, with so many threads that he didn't know where to start.
Hang Tianyi couldn't help but smile: "There is no most complicated, only more complicated. Maybe future cases will be more bizarre than this one!"
"Brother, I have never seen any police officer talk like this!" Liu Ying said.
Hang Tianyi knew that his little brother was a very upright person, and it was indeed inappropriate for the police officer to say such things.
"Alas!" Hang Tianyi couldn't help but sigh. No matter in his previous life or in this life, as long as he has an identity, he must speak in a measured manner.
"Brother, you must take Lian Bufan's reminder to heart. If he is really targeted by the murderer, he will definitely not let it go!" Liu Ying was very sensitive to Hang Tianyi's poisoning.
If he hadn't come to ask Gu Yuanci for help today, it would happen that Gu Yuanci would have a bright vision and know medical skills. Although it would not be fatal, it would be terrifying to think about it.
The most important thing is that Hang Tianyi himself didn't know how he was poisoned.
Liu Ying's reminder immediately turned Hang Tianyi's thinking from another direction.
"After what you said, I have some ideas!" Hang Tianyi said.
Liu Ying's mind was moved: "Does the elder brother know who poisoned me?"
Hang Tianyi shook his head: "This needs proof, let's go to Yuli Garden again!"
"Jade Li Garden? Ye Zhenzhen is already dead, and the things there have almost been moved. What's the use of going there again?" Liu Ying asked.
Hang Tianyi said: "I'm not going to see Ye Zhenzhen!"
Liu Ying was confused after hearing this. Ye Zhenzhen's body was still in the Yamen. Of course, she would not be able to see Ye Zhenzhen when she went to Yuli Garden.
Hang Tianyi didn't bother to explain, he was afraid that something would happen if he left late.
