Chapter 844 Picture Frame
The shop owner was shocked, and his hands were shaking. There were some decorative paintings hanging on the wall of his office, but they were not so big.
Also, the picture frame is also made of wood, so it doesn’t have the same cold and hard texture as the metal in front of you.
More importantly, his fingers on the picture frame felt a smooth touch. This time, it was warm and dripping down.
There is a sweet smell in the air, and even an ordinary person with no experience like the store owner can smell it, it is blood.
After a brief period of confusion, a horrifying picture immediately appeared in the shop owner's mind. In front of him was the oil painting!
The oil painting depicting a murderer on a rainy night!
Yes. How is it possible?
The store owner’s pupils shrank to a slit. He was frightened and frightened. What was rare was that his thinking was not affected and was surprisingly clear.
The scary old oil painting was in room 19. Before Jiang Cheng and the others left, he specifically begged them to lock the door. He remembered it very clearly!
"Who. Who took out the painting and hung it in his office? No, no, how could anyone dare to move that painting? The painting found it himself!" The shop owner's face was ashen, and he regretted it. Those people should not have been brought into room 19.
That ghost thing is here.
But it was too late to say anything now. Before the boss could react, a pale palm stretched out from the frame and grabbed his wrist.
Cold, stiff, and an unprecedented sense of suffocation instantly enveloped him, and his blood vessels seemed to be filled with ice.
"Help!" the shop owner screamed, "let me go! Ah, ah, someone come and save me, someone come and save me!"
There was only boundless silence in response to him.
He pulled back desperately, trying to break away from the cold palm, but everything was doomed to be in vain.
The palms of his hands were like iron pliers, locking his wrists tightly and pulling him into the frame little by little. His voice was shrill and desperate, and his hands and feet were kicking wildly, but nothing happened. Can't stop it.
As the upper body was completely submerged into the frame, there was a "click", and the two legs left outside tightened suddenly, and then collapsed as if they had lost their vitality.
The screams stopped suddenly.
But this was not over yet. The legs, which were twisted and deformed due to the struggle, were dangling in the air, twitching from time to time, and were finally pulled into the frame by the mysterious force and disappeared completely.
About ten seconds later, the light above flickered a few times, and then suddenly turned on.
The darkness in the office was dispelled and everything returned to calm.
Only one brown leather shoe fell alone near the door, overturned on the ground.
"How is it?" Zhou Tong stared at Jiang Cheng, who was sitting at his desk with a red landline phone in his hand.
Putting down the phone, Jiang Cheng shook his head.
This is the fourth call I have made to the store owner. I get through every time, but no one answers. A weird atmosphere permeates the entire office.
Xia Qiang and others were sitting on the sofa, frowning slightly. It could be seen that everyone was in a heavy mood.
None of them felt that they were being targeted, because the person being targeted was not them at all, but the owner of the reasoning studio.
After all, the boss entered room 19 just like them.
After thinking of this, Jiang Cheng immediately used the landline in the office to call the store owner. The reason why he didn't use his mobile phone was because he was worried about attracting ghosts.
"Should we go back and take a look?" It was Lin Muyun who spoke, with a hint of gloom between his brows, and he was obviously aware of something.
"No!" Xia Qiang turned his head and glanced out the window, looked back and said, "It's already dark. Unless necessary during the mission, you should never act at night."
Follow your brother. Lin Muwan beside him lowered his head and thought for a moment, then picked up his notebook and quickly wrote something on it. Line characters, raised up: "Is the shop owner in danger?"
The fat man felt soft, thinking that this girl is really nice, she saved a doctor's life not long ago, but it's a pity that she has too little experience. He was certain that the shop owner was now out of danger. After all, dead people couldn't feel danger.
"Judging from the current situation, the store owner is in danger." Xia Qiang said slowly, without much remorse in his tone. After all, this is a mission world, not reality.
Hearing this, Lin Muwan loosened the pen in his hand, and his beautiful eyes dimmed slightly.
Huaiyi said in a hesitant tone: "Would you like to inform Captain Wu and others and ask them to send someone to the reasoning hall to take a look."
Everyone understands what Huaiyi means. It was unrealistic to expect Captain Wu and others to rescue people. He wanted to use Captain Wu and others to survey the scene.
After all, he is also an old detective, and he may bring new revelations to them. However, they stay in the office and only need to contact them by phone, so the risk is relatively low.
This is undoubtedly a good idea, but the premise is that the risks Captain Wu and the others face must be ignored.
The scene became deserted again, and even Huaiyi, who made the suggestion, lowered his head and stopped talking.
Suddenly, a burst of urgent phone calls interrupted everyone's thoughts.
Jiang Cheng calmed down and picked up the phone. He was just listening but did not speak. A man's voice immediately came from the other side. Through the phone, he could feel the urgency and panic of the other party, " Captain Xia, right? I’m Wu Bin, there’s something going on here in the reasoning hall!”
After a moment, Jiang Cheng said calmly: “Captain Wu, don’t worry, please speak slowly.”
< br>
Wu Bin was obviously hesitant when he heard the voice on the other side that was not Xia Qiang's, but soon told Jiang Cheng the whole story.
The other end of the microphone was quite noisy. Wu Bin was probably in a small space, and he could faintly hear the crying of people around him.
"About 2 hours ago, the city bureau received a call from an employee of the Reasoning Center, saying that their boss was missing."
"The thing is like this, boss He told this employee that he was going to be away for a while and that he would take care of all the business here. , and promised to give him a generous commission."
"After the boss finished speaking, he went back to the office to sort out various procedures, including documents and so on. He said that he would ask the employees to come to the office to find him later and he would take care of it himself. He handed these to him, and then specifically mentioned that he had something to tell him. ”
"This employee was very excited, but he waited for almost two hours. It was already dark, and the boss didn't call him."
"He felt strange, so he came to the boss's office alone. In the office, I knocked on the door first, but no one answered.”
“After waiting for a few seconds, he subconsciously pushed the door. Unexpectedly, the door opened immediately, was unlocked, and all the lights inside were on, but he didn’t see the boss.”( End of chapter)
