Without further ado, everyone decided to temporarily divide into 4 groups, with the hospital as the center, looking for signatures in 4 directions of the city's south, south, and northwest.
Qin Ci first said with a smile: "I'll go with my old partner Dongzi. I hope we can have a good harvest this time."
Although Wei Dong didn't understand why Qin Ci chose him directly, he still smiled and came to Qin Ci's side: "Brother Qin has had more than 4 hours of surgery, I'm really afraid you won't be able to bear it."
Qin Ci said: "Then let's go to the south. If we are tired, we can sit at the Reading Time Cafe. There are many newspapers and magazines there. If we read the newspapers there, we may be able to obtain valuable information. ."
Ke Xun then said, "Then Yi Ran and I will go to the east. We planned to go to the beast trading market over there yesterday. Maybe we will discover something new."
Zhao Yanbao looked at Su Benxin, the only woman present besides himself, and was about to invite Boss Su to join him in a group, but saw Su Benxin turned to look at Luo Wei: "If you don't speak, everyone will forget you again~ So, let's go together as a group, okay?"
Luo Wei nodded: "Haowen and Xiao Zhao can continue to go to the university town in the west, then let's go to the north of the city."
Su Benxin readily agreed, and before he was ready to leave, he asked Qin Ci: "How is the situation over Xiao Qinxian? Do we need to go and see?"
"She needs to rest now, and is currently asleep." Qin Ci said, "I believe we will go to the autograph now, and she will not blame us for being rude."
"Well then, it's still the most important thing to find an autograph." Su Benxin smiled.
As a result, the members of the 4 groups went out of the hospital gate and went in their own direction.
Wei Dong and Qin Ci walked all the way to the south. After about two stops, Wei Dong couldn't help but ask, "Old Qin, are you holding back?"
Qin Ci smiled lightly, pointed to a shop next to him and said, "We're here, Reading Time Cafe."
Qin Ci said and dragged Weidong into the cafe.
"It's not good for us to be lazy like this..." Before Wei Dong could finish his words, he saw two familiar figures sitting in an inconspicuous corner, it was Ke Xun and Mu Yiran.
"I'll wipe, when did the three of you make an appointment with me behind your back?" Wei Dong and Qin Ci came to Ke Xun's side, and put down the isolation curtain, so that people outside would be less likely to notice presence of several people.
Qin Ci sat down and said straight to the point: "Let's get down to business first, and we'll inform Haowen and Luo Wei later."
When Wei Dong heard this, his expression became serious.
"Let's talk about Yu Ji first." Although Qin Ci was a little tired, his eyes were very bright. This kind of eyes was completely different from the calm and comfortable look in the previous days, as if he had just recovered what he should have in the painting at this moment. wake up.
The other three listened to Qin Ci's narration, and felt more and more that Yu Ji's story was not that simple.
"... That's all Yu Ji told me last night." Qin Ci ended his long narration and took a sip of coffee.
"You are very detailed and helpful for analysis," Mu Yiran couldn't help but give Qin Ci a big affirmation, "If you guessed correctly, Yu Beiguo should be a very important person to Yu Ji."
"Damn it, Yubei Kingdom?" Wei Dong made a strange expression, "Why does it sound so familiar from the North Country and the North Country?"
Ke Xun couldn't help but slapped Wei Dong's forehead and snapped his fingers: "He is the painter of our painting, and the signature we are looking for is his."
"Fuck... that word for fish?" Wei Dong scratched his head embarrassedly, "I always thought it was a loss..."
"... There is a word for rain on it, of course it says fish."
"Then there's a bad word at the bottom..."
Ke Xun took a sip of ice water and began to express his point of view: "I think, this Yu Ji's expression about his lover is very vague. For this lover, we only know that he studied art abroad, and then returned to China. He committed suicide because of love again, and he doesn't know anything else. Yu Ji's description of him is not as good as that of the two, or even more than Su Benxin's description.
"And from his description, I don't think he hates that duo much, and even has some love and hate for that person."
Qin Ci nodded thoughtfully, still remembering Yu Ji's appearance last night when he talked about the two, that kind of bewildered chuckle - "I've seen that person before, he has curly hair and looks like a He's very handsome... he's very talented in art, he's born with a bad spirit when he smiles, and it's very attractive."
Ke Xun continued: "Yu Ji's tone seemed to give all his hatred to Su Benxin. It stands to reason that Su Benxin has no direct relationship with Yu Ji in this complex relationship of four people's love. He should hate the duo who stole his lover even more.
"Even, the purpose of Yu Ji's visit to the Benxin Art Museum this time is to see what Su Benxin is like. If there is no direct personal grievance, I don't think he is necessary."
Mu Yiran nodded slightly: "Yu Ji himself studied oil painting abroad. From his description, his lover also studied art abroad, and he also mentioned that the two have a very high artistic talent. We It might be bold to infer that his so-called lover and the so-called couple are actually the same person, and that person is Yubei Kingdom.
"It's just that because this painting has strict confidentiality measures for the name, Yu Ji forgot his lover's name, and it was not until he died that he suddenly remembered it."
Hearing this, Ke Xun felt very uncomfortable. This is probably the cruelest part of this painting. It can make you ignore and forget your most important person, and use a dismissive attitude.
Qin Ci nodded slightly, and it seemed that he also agreed with Mu Yiran's statement.
Only Wei Dong still can't understand: "Then he can just say it directly, even if the name of Yubeiguo was blocked at that time, but he only needs to say that he has a lover, so why should one person be divided into two parts? Personally!"
"He's not pretending to be mysterious," Mu Yiran said, "he just subconsciously doesn't want his lover to be too close to Su Benxin, although in fact his lover was indeed taken away by the woman Su Benxin, but he doesn't psychologically Accepted - so I fabricated a so-called two-doctor, as if the existence of this person invisibly separated Yu Beiguo and Su Benxin."
"Isn't this self-deception..." Wei Dong said no more, he already understood how much this matter hurt Yu Ji.
"When I was in the hospital just now, Hao Wen'er told me something," Ke Xun remembered something, "According to Zhao Yanbao's observation, Yu Ji seems to be a patient with mild to moderate depression."
"How did she see it?"
"Probably professionals have their own way of looking at it."
Qin Ci said: "I remember that Yu Beiguo also committed suicide because of depression. Could it be that Yu Ji and Yu Beiguo both have depression?"
"Depression can't be investigated now, but I think that the frame-shaped beast in Yu Ji's body is a strong obsession." Mu Yiran said.
Qin Ci couldn't help but intensified his tone: "About the beast, I actually didn't finish talking just now. From a strict point of view, there is no pattern in the picture frame."
"What?!" Ke Xun and Wei Dong asked in unison.
"The center of the frame is Yu Ji's heart."
Everyone stopped making a sound and quietly listened to Qin Ci's words.
"The heart is actually not what it used to be. On the surface, it is covered by some wisps of tubular beasts. Those things are connected to the picture frame. If I remember correctly, the picture in Yu Ji's body is exactly what we saw at the beginning. The piece of work from Yubei Kingdom - "The Scarlet Beast"."
Because the content was too weird, the three of them didn't know how to answer for a while.
Wei Dong settled himself for a long time, and kept gasping for breath: "I rely on... That... Is there a signature in that picture frame?"
Ke Xun couldn't help but admire Wei Dong's pragmatism. At this time, he could still think of signing for the first time.
Qin Ci shook his head and sighed: "The reason why I have performed the 'surgery' for so long is to look for a signature, but unfortunately there is no one - there is only one painting, a three-dimensional painting with Yu Ji's heart as a specimen."
Mu Yiran: "Yu Ji actually wanted to add his signature, but he couldn't do it in the end. He only wrote the initials of his surname on the wall before his death."
Although the topic is very heavy, everyone has no time to express their feelings now, so they can only grit their teeth and be pragmatic.
Ke Xun said: "According to the previous speculation, then Yu Ji's story should be like this. Yu Ji and Yu Beiguo were lovers when they studied painting abroad together. Su Benxin. "The Scarlet Beast" is a painting by Yu Beiguo before his death. Maybe Yu Ji has seen this painting before, or maybe it was the first time he saw it at the art exhibition that day, but that painting is not very important to him. It is of great significance to him, it can even be said that it hits the heart directly, so that an unshakable knot is formed in the heart."
"But why are they lying? Both of them said that they were not familiar with Yubei Kingdom the night we first arrived." Wei Dong asked.
Ke Xun: "That's what I doubt, even if the shielding power makes them forget their lover's name, they won't forget the whole thing, so since Yu Ji can remember it so clearly, I think Su Benxin It's impossible to forget it so easily. Even after we revealed the signing, Su Benxin should have recalled more things."
Su Benxin, like Xiao Qinxian, became a mystery.
"Speaking of which, I am ashamed. The reason why I called everyone out alone was to guard against Su Benxin, because I couldn't figure out her bottom line." Qin Ci said.
Mu Yi nodded: "Su Benxin couldn't possibly forget this matter. When she recited the contents of the title page of the book "The Scarlet Beast", I guessed that she had something to do with the whole thing. origin."
