The blue smoke of the cigar rose up, and the aroma of high-end cigars was extremely pure. Adrian's words gradually became much smoother, and he said: "I saw that the painting was painted by my daughter, so I wanted to keep it for her. , so it was originally. But when I took the painting and put it in her previous painting box, I found that I seemed to have seen this house before. Did you notice what was painted in front of the door? "
Sean followed his words and turned to the last photo, which was the third photo. These photos are all from the same painting, but each one is clearer than the last. It is normal for this kind of thing to happen to men. The second photo they take of their girlfriends is always more beautiful than the first one. Only the third photo can fully guarantee the shooting status. The third photo is an overall photo, which is more comprehensive than the second photo with a small circle of corners missing.
However, he still recognized it at a glance. The ground in front of the house that was painted crookedly was paved with slates, but one slate was raised first, and the inner part was filled with black lines with a black paintbrush. , as if there was a well, or a basement, under this stone slab.
Sean exhaled a puff of smoke again and said: "The location of the secret door at the door of this house is roughly the same as that of that house."
Teresa said: "Actually, strictly speaking, the paintings are not similar, so the possibility of coincidence cannot be ruled out."
Adrian opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he remained silent. Sean said from the side: "Look at the third photo, the middle and lower part on the right side, the wall of the house."
After hearing this, Teresa looked over, frowned, and said with slight surprise: "There is a hexagon on the wall."
"There is also a hexagon on the house in the abandoned town." Sean continued: "We have to figure out what is going on." He turned to Adrian and said again: "Are you sure it was the shape before Lei disappeared? drawn?"
Adrian thought about it for a moment and said, "It should be. After Lei came back, we cleaned up her room together. I found it under her computer desk. Well we kept her room in the past few months when she was missing. Leave it as it is. It was just put away yesterday, that¡¯s for sure, and I think it must have been under the table.¡±
Both Sean and Theresa nodded. Theresa looked at Sean and said, "What do you think?"
"Let's go ask." Sean said, "You have to ask Lei what's going on."
Teresa said: "Very good, we can also go and see her."
Sean said: "It's a bit late today, Adrian, you go back first, we will go to your house tomorrow, otherwise it will seem a bit too sudden."
"Okay." Adrian said, "Then shall I go back now?"
"Well, let's go back." Sean said, "Go home and be normal. After all, we just have a picture of graffiti now, so don't be too nervous."
"You're right." Adrian said, standing up, and Sean and Teresa also stood up to see them off.
After saying goodbye and the approximate time to go tomorrow, Sean comforted Adrian again, and the latter drove away. Sean said: "I'm sure you don't have to go out today. Let's have some drinks?"
Teresa said: "I won't drink anymore. I'm exhausted from having sex for a whole day. He's such a beast. I have to go home and have a good sleep."
"Haha, haha." Sean laughed and said: "I said you are always a little anxious when I call you. It turns out you have something serious to do."
Theresa waved her hand without looking back, got back into her car, and drove away quickly. Sean became an old man again. He went home and turned on the TV, watching a movie and drinking some beer. After half a dozen beers, it was almost ten o'clock, so I took a shower and started to sleep.
He is not afraid of having a beer belly, because he is always busy and training, and if he takes a day to relax every once in a while, that is no problem. Moreover, his current body has several aspects that are at the limit of human beings. Drinking occasionally is no big deal.
The next morning, after his morning run, he made himself some ham and egg sandwiches, washed up and started to go to work. When he arrived at the serial crime unit, he looked at the points file again. When he got off work at noon, he and Teresa went straight to work. Get in the car and drive to Adrian's house.
Adrian¡¯s home is not in the city of Sacramento, but in a small town in the northern suburbs. This small town is only about ten kilometers away from the city of Sacramento and can be reached in a short drive. The town is indeed a bit small, less than five blocks. There is a logging factory and a small oil refinery outside, so there is a faint smell of oil in the air. After entering the town, there are rows of independent houses, and almost every house has a large lawn.
When they arrived at Adrian's house, the family of three was having lunch. Seeing Sean and two people arriving, they expressed their invitation.The two of them had lunch, and Lei was very enthusiastic. After all, Sean was his savior, and the word "savior" is a very respected word all over the world.
Sean and the others did not have lunch either, so they were not polite. Mrs. Adrian also enthusiastically made a new burrito and stir-fried chickpeas with meat, saying it was her exclusive secret recipe. Sean ate it in his mouth and it felt good. Although it was not delicious, it was still full of flavor.
After eating, several people sat in the lobby. Teresa first asked with concern: "Lei, how does it feel to go home?"
Lei took a deep breath, spit it out comfortably, and said: "I never thought that my mother's food was so delicious. For me, home is equal to heaven." After hearing this metaphor from the little girl, , the whole family laughed happily.
Sean, who was standing aside, seemed confused and said: "The word heaven is not very auspicious."
Lei smiled and said: "No, Sean, this is simply beautiful. When you have been in a dark environment for a long time, eating food that is almost going to spoil, or has already spoiled, and no one can talk to you, but you suddenly can It's heaven when you're home, Sean, it's heaven when you're home."
Sean nodded and said, "I've always been curious, Lei, how did you use a broken radio and some parts to make a radio communication device?"
Hearing this, Lei showed a charming smile again and said: "This is a secret, just wait." After saying that, he got up from the sofa, walked through the living room, and walked to his room.
Mrs. Adrian said from the side: "She must have gone to get her treasure box."
Teresa said: "What box?"
Adrian explained: "It's some toys I bought for her since she was a child, and some electronic homework she did when she was in school."
