Chapter 846 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 a cold, hard texture like 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!

That oil painting with the midnight killer!

But how is it possible?

The shop 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, the shop owner specifically begged them to lock the door. He could see it clearly!

"Who took out the painting and hung it in his office? No, no, how could anyone dare to move that painting? He found it himself!" The shop owner's face turned pale. He regretted it and stopped. It's time to take those people into room 19.

That damn 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.

Coldness, stiffness, and an unprecedented sense of suffocation instantly enveloped him, and his blood vessels seemed to be filled with ice.

"Help!" the store owner screamed, "let me go! 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 hand, but everything was doomed to be in vain.

The palms 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 could stop him.

As the upper body completely disappeared into the frame, there was a "click" sound, and the two legs left outside suddenly tightened, and then they collapsed as if they had lost their life.

The screams stopped abruptly.

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.

After about ten seconds, 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 and overturned on the ground.

"How's it going?" 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 strange atmosphere permeates the entire office.

Xia Qiang and others were sitting on the sofa, their brows furrowed 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?" Lin Muyun was the one who spoke. There was a hint of haze between his brows, and he was obviously aware of something.

"No!" Xia Qiang turned his head and glanced out the window, withdrew his gaze and said, "It's already dark. Unless necessary during the mission, you should never act at night."

Lin Muwan, who was following her brother, lowered his head and thought for a moment, then picked up the notebook, quickly wrote a line of words on it, and held it up: "Is the store owner in danger?"

The fat man's heart softened, thinking that this girl was really nice. She had saved a doctor's life not long ago, but she had too little experience. He was sure that the store owner was out of danger now. After all, dead people can'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 Muchan 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 understood what Huaiyi meant. 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, they are also veteran detectives, and they might be able to bring new revelations to them. As they stay in the office and only need to contact them by phone, 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 hurried call interrupted everyone's thoughts.

Jiang Cheng calmed down and picked up the phone. He was just listening but didn't speak. A man's voice immediately came from the other side. Through the phone, you could feel the urgency and panic of the other person, "Captain Xia? I am? It’s Wu Bin, something happened here in the Reasoning Hall!”

After a moment, Jiang Cheng said in a calm tone: "Captain Wu, don't be impatient. Speak slowly."

Hearing that the voice on the other end was not Xia Qiang's, Wu Bin was obviously a little hesitant, but soon, he told Jiang Cheng the whole story.

The other end of the microphone was quite noisy. Wu Bin should be in a not-so-large space, and he could faintly hear people crying around him.

"About 2 hours ago, the city bureau received a call from an employee of the mystery house, saying that their boss was missing."

"The thing is, the boss told the employee that he was going to leave for a while, and he would take care of the business here, and promised to give him a generous commission."

"After the boss finished speaking, he went back to the office to pack up various procedures and documents, saying that he would ask the employees to come to the office to find him and give them to him, and then he specifically mentioned that he had something to tell him."

"The employee was very excited, but he waited and waited for almost 2 hours, and it was dark, and the boss didn't call him."

"He felt strange, so he came to the boss's office alone, knocked on the door first, and no one answered."

"After waiting for a few seconds, he subconsciously pushed the door, but he didn't expect the door to open immediately, it was not locked, and all the lights inside were on, but he didn't see the boss."
