Chapter 112 The Secret Room in the Castle
"This is an evil spirit." Shu Wanwan said in a serious tone, "It should be the murderer of Lin Wei." It seems that further investigation is needed to find out the truth of the matter.
Shu Wanwan took out her phone and took a few photos of the spot where the evil spirit disappeared. "Let's clean up the scene first," she said to the police officer beside her.
The police began to clean up the scene, while Shu Wanwan was thinking about her next move.
"Who is this Lin Wei? Why does he attract evil spirits?" Bai Xuan walked to Shu Wanwan and asked his questions.
Shu Wanwan shook her head, indicating that it wasn't clear yet. "However, since this evil spirit possesses the portrait, it must be somehow connected to Lin Wei. We need to find more clues." Shu Wanwan couldn't figure it out. When Lin Wei and the evil spirit were calculating, it seemed as if a thin layer of mist had enveloped them, as if someone had obscured their fate.
As she was speaking, Shu Wanwan's phone rang. It was Ye Linfeng calling.
"Do you have any clues?" Shu Wanwan answered the phone without any hesitation. She knew that Ye Linfeng must have some clues if he called her at this time.
"Master, I just found out that Lin Wei is a painter, and his recent works have been well received." Ye Linfeng said on the phone.
"Painter?" Shu Wanwan seemed to be thinking. "Perhaps we can find some clues from his works. Bai Xuan, come with me to his studio and take a look."
The two of them arrived at Lin Wei's studio, which was filled with various paintings. Shu Wanwan carefully examined each painting, trying to find clues. Suddenly, her eyes were drawn to a painting in the corner. It was a landscape painting, but the style was unusually gloomy.
Shu Wanwan approached the landscape painting and examined it carefully. In the painting, a solitary castle-style villa stood on a barren land, surrounded by a strange mist.
"This painting..." Shu Wanwan always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't put her finger on it.
At this time, Bai Xuan discovered that there seemed to be words on the back of the painting. They turned the painting over and found a line of small words on it: "The secret is in the villa."
"Could this castle-style villa be the key to solving the mystery?" Bai Xuan said.
Shu Wanwan nodded. "Looks like we have to go there. But before that, we need to learn more about Lin Wei. Has Ye Linfeng found out anything?"
Bai Xuan took out his cell phone and called Ye Linfeng to ask about other aspects of Lin Wei's situation.
After receiving the reply, Bai Xuan said to Shu Wanwan: "Lin Wei has a girlfriend named Suna. It is said that when he was creating this batch of landscape paintings, his mental state was very unstable and he often quarreled with Suna."
"Hmm... this might also be a clue." Shu Wanwan thought, "Let's go find Su Na and see if we can get some useful information from her." Shu Wanwan and Bai Xuan found Su Na and asked her about Lin Wei's situation.
Suna recalled that during that time, Lin Wei often woke up in the middle of the night, claiming to have seen strange visions. His behavior became increasingly erratic, and he even began to suspect Suna of infidelity.
Shu Wanwan winked at Bai Xuan, who understood and asked, "Did he mention specifically what he saw?"
Suna frowned and tried to recall: "He said he saw an ancient castle shrouded in black fog... He also said that something in the castle was calling him."
Shu Wanwan and Bai Xuan looked at each other and thought to themselves: This is very similar to the ancient castle in the landscape painting, could it really be true?
"Thank you for the information you provided, Suna. If you think of anything else related to Lin Wei, please contact us in time." After Shu Wanwan left her contact information, she left with Bai Xuan.
They decided to investigate this mysterious castle-style villa in depth and uncover the truth hidden behind it.
Shu Wanwan and Bai Xuan began searching for the castle. After some trouble, they finally found it. The castle looked abandoned and surrounded by dense forest.
"In this day and age, there really are places like this?" Shu Wanwan thought to herself when she saw this.
As we walked into the castle, an air of antiquity hit us. In the center of the hall stood a huge oil painting, the faces of the figures in the painting were distorted and eerie.
"This painting..." Shu Wanwan stared at the canvas, and an ominous premonition came to her heart.
Suddenly, a chilling wind blew, plunging the entire castle into darkness. Shu Wanwan and Bai Xuan looked around warily, faintly hearing strange noises.
"Be careful!" Bai Xuan reminded.
A dark shadow passed by them from behind. Shu Wanwan quickly turned around and cast a magic spell, illuminating the dark corner. A pale figure slowly emerged. It was the evil spirit!
The evil spirit lunged at Shu Wanwan and Bai Xuan, its claws and fangs bared, emitting a sinister cry. Shu Wanwan dodged the spirit's attack, forming hand seals and muttering something. A beam of light shot out from her hand, striking the spirit directly.
The evil spirit was hit by the light and screamed in pain. However, it did not retreat, but instead pounced on Shu Wanwan even more frantically.
Seeing this, Bai Xuan quickly cast a spell. A whirlwind wrapped around his hand. He swung it hard and pushed the evil spirit back a few steps.
"This evil spirit is so powerful!" Bai Xuan said.
Shu Wanwan nodded, her eyes firm as she said, "It's a little unusual."
With that, Shu Wanwan and Bai Xuan launched another attack, engaging in a fierce battle with the evil spirit. Shu Wanwan and Bai Xuan worked closely together, gradually gaining the upper hand. The evil spirit, seemingly defeated, suddenly vanished.
"Where did it go?" Bai Xuan looked around.
"Be careful!" Before Shu Wanwan finished her words, the evil spirit suddenly attacked from above and took Bai Xuan's life.
At the critical moment, Shu Wanwan stood in front of Bai Xuan and used all her strength to strike the evil spirit to death.
"Are you okay?" Shu Wanwan helped Bai Xuan up.
Bai Xuan shook his head: "I'm fine, thanks to you."
The two took a short break and continued searching for clues in the castle.
They finally discovered an extremely hidden mechanism in a corner of the room. This mechanism was so ingeniously designed that it would be almost impossible to detect its existence if one did not observe carefully.
Shu Wanwan cautiously reached out and gently turned the hidden mechanism. As she moved, a slight creaking sound echoed, like the sound of an ancient door hinge. Then, a secret door slowly opened, revealing a passage leading to an unknown destination.
They knew that the secret behind this secret door might solve some of the mysteries they had been investigating.
