If it were just an investigation into this VR game death incident, he would have been able to produce a relatively complete report.

He has to do these things.

Keep the two coins for later use.

Because Lin Mo had to first verify whether what the clown fortune teller said before was true.

He also needs to arrange this.

Take off the VR device.

Lin Mo explained the situation clearly to Song Qian and the five agents.

Regarding this mysterious death in the game, they need to write a specific report, and of course Lin Mo will have to review it in the end.

Everyone got to work immediately.

Lin Mo got up and made a phone call.

…

Almost all the dummies that have surfaced in Qianlong City have been cleared away.

Some were killed and some were captured.

There are also those who betray the dummy organization and join the General Administration. Of course, this part also needs to be strictly controlled.

There are still some results, but everyone knows that if the source of the dummy is not found, then the matter will not be complete. It will definitely not work if we just cut the grass without eradicating the roots.

But no matter how we investigated before, we couldn't find any source of the dummy.

The main reason is that none of the dummies know where they came from, and this part of their memory does not exist at all.

Originally, he had no clue about this matter, but Lin Mo didn't expect that he would find clues about the origin of the dummy in a horror game.

No. 13, Lijia Street, Longmian District, Qianlong City.

Lin Mo never delays doing things. After he came out of the game, he immediately gathered people to go to the place mentioned by the clown fortune teller.

The clown fortune teller said that the origin of the dummy is in a painting here.

Before coming, Lin Mo had already found clues about No. 13 Lijia Street.

Longmian District is the old town of Qianlong City.

How old?

Since the birth of Qianlong City, Longmian District has existed.

In the early days of this place, there were alleys with bungalows, but many of them have been preserved to this day, and they have all been turned into fragrant houses. In the past few years, any yard could be sold for a sky-high price.

Some courtyards have been renovated and some big shots, rich bosses, or celebrities have lived in them.

But after the nightmare broke out, the place became much deserted.

Because people who were able to live here before can still live in the Qianlong Safe Zone now.

However, even big shots cannot have the same living environment in the safe zone as outside. The living area is different.

Naturally, some things at home, which are not particularly valuable, will not be brought into the safe area.

"No. 13 Lijia Street is a five-square-meter courtyard. It was renovated three years ago. The current owner's surname is Zhang. He is in his forties. He once worked as an investment manager in a large institution. I heard that a few years ago

We have achieved financial freedom." A police officer assisting in the investigation said next to him.

"Where are the people?" Lin Mo asked.

"We've made contact. You'll be here in a while." The police officer looked at Lin Mo.

He and Lin Mo are about the same age, but their status is completely different.

Lin Mo is the commander-in-chief of the entire dummy operation. Even their director must obey orders and dare not slack off in the slightest.

In less than five minutes, people arrived.

When the other party saw such a big battle, they were a little panicked.

Even people who are at the elite level of society and have managed many people as leaders will still have stage fright when faced with such a scene.

Lin Mo looked at Mr. Zhang.

Not fat, with a well-proportioned body shape. It can be seen that he works out regularly and takes good care of himself.

After a brief communication, I found out that the other person has a hobby of collecting art.

It is said that this is also a means of increasing wealth.

For example, some world-famous paintings, even though they cost hundreds of thousands or millions to buy, are very expensive, and they are not worth eating or drinking. They seem to be a pure loss, but the value of the artwork is not greater than its own use value.

In times of disaster or raging wars, no matter how awesome a painting is, it's just a piece of paper, and it's hard to wipe your butt.

But when you don't have to worry about food and clothing and live a prosperous life, it will be different.

Buy it back and keep it for a few years before entrusting it to an auction house to sell it. With luck, it may double.

"But it can't be done now. The world is not right anymore. All the paintings I collected before have been thrown into my hands. But I have made back all the money I should have earned in the past few years. It doesn't matter. I also like it, so I put it at home to see and appreciate by myself."

."

Mr. Zhang is telling.

Lin Mo smiled, listened, and observed the other person.

Nothing unusual was found.

The other party is not a dummy.

There is no special nightmare aura about him, just like everyone else.

"You haven't been back for a long time, haven't you?" Lin Mo suddenly asked.

Mr. Zhang nodded: "I haven't come back since the nightmare came, and I didn't come back much before. I bought the property here more than ten years ago to increase its value."

As expected of an investor, I can only say three things about my profession.

"Is there something wrong with my house? Or is there something wrong with the paintings inside?" Mr. Zhang was not stupid, so he couldn't help asking at this time.

"If there is any problem, I have to go and take a look first. Do you have the key with you?"

"I have it with me. Here it is." Mr. Zhang took out a bunch of keys from his pocket, found one from the top, took it off, and stuffed it directly into Lin Mo's hand.

"Mr. Zhang, aren't you going in?" Lin Mo asked curiously.

"No, no, I'm afraid I'll cause you trouble. Besides, I trust you, so I'll wait outside. Don't worry, you can do whatever you want inside, just like you would at home." Mr. Zhang said with a smile.

This man is indeed a thief.

The other party knew that Lin Mo and the others were from the Security Bureau.

He obviously knows what the Security Bureau does, and the battles here are obvious. As smart as he is, there is no way he would risk going in.

Although no one said there would be danger inside, he could feel it.

In fact, Lin Mo did not intend to let the other party in.

He's been out sensing for a long time.

There is something wrong in this house.

The concentration of the nightmare aura was twice that of other places. It was not particularly outstanding, but the vague sense of danger made Lin Mo understand that it was not simple.

"Okay, you can rest outside for a while."

Lin Mo took the key and walked in with several action team members.

The key was handed to the operations leader.

The other party opened the yard door first. This door was made of alloy imitation wood and was very strong.

The yard was not big, there was a tree, and the ground was neatly paved with blue bricks. As the door opened, Lin Mo saw the room where the collection was stored.

There are not only paintings in this room, but also other things.

There are a lot of porcelains and some calligraphy works, but Chinese and Western style paintings are in the same room, and oil paintings and calligraphy and paintings are placed together, which always feels very inconsistent.

There are many paintings here, and Lin Mo easily found the one in question.

He is a 'high monk'.

The name of the painting and some basic information are posted below the frame.

It is from a modern painter of the last century and is a masterpiece.

The year of creation is hundreds of years ago.

The painting shows an old monk with his hands clasped together and his head raised while chanting sutras. Behind him is a scene in a temple with a Buddha statue. The painting is lifelike, with impeccable use of lines and colors.

Especially that kind of artistic conception, there is a profound sense of compassion for all sentient beings.

Just looking at the paintings, they are definitely outstanding works.

For works from a hundred years ago, both the monks on the paintings and the painters who painted them have long since passed away, so they can be sold at high prices.

The problem is this painting.
