Everyone followed Zhao Jue into the fortress-like villa. This villa was very special, with a very European and old structure, with brass chandeliers, hollow wall decorations, oil paintings, sculptures everywhere, and there were also maids passing by.

Gongsun stared at the decorations of several European armored men next to the corridor and looked at them, "The things in this room should be valuable, right?" He remembered that Bai Jintang had said he wanted to buy a few such armored men to decorate. Of course, this thing was very in line with Gongsun's aesthetic, but when he saw the price, he immediately felt that it was unforgivable to use it to decorate, so he firmly disagreed that it would be better to do charity than to have this spare money.

"Do you know about antiques?" Zhao Jue looked back at Gongsun.

Gongsun shook his head, "It's just a little bit."

Zhao Jue smiled and said, "I took a photo of a medieval duke's castle abroad. It took me half a year to completely demolish it, and then it took me half a year to move it intact and restore it. However, the original fortress was gray and I don't like it, so I let someone paint the exterior wall white."

Zhan Zhao laughed dryly and said, "Won't the servant bring it from there, right?"

Everyone was speechless, and Zhao Jue smiled twice, looked back at Zhan Zhao, and said, "I have a reason to buy this castle... You will definitely agree with my approach." As he said that, he went up the second floor. Everyone followed him upstairs. Zhao Jue walked to the end of the corridor, pushed open a door, and said to Zhan Zhao and the others, "This is my bedroom. There are several master bedrooms like this. You can spend the night here later."

Zhan Zhao was a little puzzled and asked, "Why do you have to spend the night here?"

Zhao Jue laughed softly and whispered, "If you spend the night here, the little lion can sleep with you."

Zhan Zhao raised his eyebrows and lowered his head, and saw the little lion □□ on the back of his hand. He once again exclaimed, it was so cute.

Bai Yutang and others looked around and saw a huge oil painting hanging on the back of a large bed in the middle, which was facing the main wall of the gate, covering it with a white cloth.

Zhao Jue walked over and said, "The reason I bought this ancient castle is for this painting.

"Is this a painting in the castle?" Bai Yutang asked.

"Yes." Zhao Jue nodded, reached out his hand, and uncovered the white cloth with a "slam".

Everyone looked up and couldn't help but gasp.

Zhan Zhao opened his mouth wide and saw a man dressed in a medieval aristocrat on the canvas behind the white cloth. His appearance... looked familiar - like his father, or like him.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, with a very surprised expression on their faces. When they looked at Zhao Jue again, they saw him lying on the bed and laughing dullly, pounding the bed with a smile. Zhan Zhao immediately realized something was wrong, and thought again - how could ancient paintings be so new? He turned to Zhao Jue and glared at him, "Zhao Jue, are you playing tricks on me?!"

Gongsun walked to the front of the oil painting and looked at it, saying, "It should be the one I drew recently... not an antique."

Bai Yutang felt that Zhan Zhao's air pressure was getting lower and lower. He thought to himself that Zhao Jue was really good and could make Zhan Zhao angry every time, but to be honest, this joke was really boring.

The atmosphere was stalemate and awkward. Zhao Jue finished laughing, reached out and gently pressed the bell beside the bed. Soon after, the housekeeper came up, holding a bottle in his hand and handed it to Zhan Zhao.

Zhan Zhao was a little confused, but the little lion in his arms moved, staring at the bottle in Zhan Zhao's hand and shouting quietly, with a look on his face - the cute expression I want.

Zhan Zhao realized that this was for the little lion to eat... Thinking of this, he hugged it, turned the bottle upside down, and stuffed the pacifier into its mouth. The little lion sucked it hard, and his feet were sucking, as if it was so satisfying.

Zhan Zhao immediately took a breath, no longer... so cute.

On the one hand, the others were impressed by the cuteness of the little lion, and on the other hand, they were amazed by Zhao Jue's understanding of Zhan Zhao. He was really capable. In the last lesson, Zhan Zhao thorned his hair, and the next moment he used the little lion to kill Zhan Zhao instantly. Usually, only Zhan Zhao was tormenting others like this, although today the main hero is still the little lion.

"I'm just kidding." Zhao Jue walked to the other end of the bed and pointed to the wall beside the door behind the crowd, "To be precise, it's because of this painting."

Everyone turned around and sure enough, they saw a fireplace next to the door, and there was also a huge oil painting above the fireplace, also covered with white cloth.

Zhao Jue pointed to Bai Yutang's portrait and said, "Please take off the white cloth."

Bai Yutang walked over, grabbed the white cloth, and gently pulled it out... The white cloth was pulled apart... and saw that what was exposed below was an oil painting that had been a bit yellowed for a long time.

The painting shows a group photo of a family, a standing man, a sitting woman, a standing teenager, and a baby being held in his hands.

Everyone frowned slightly, and this family was very interested.

I saw the man standing, about thirties, a European, with brown hair, blue eyes, deep eyebrows, high nose bridge, square chin, burly figure, and wearing black clothes with a delicate tailoring style. Although there was a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, the man's face was very serious, which showed that he was usually serious. What made Zhan Zhao and others care about was that there was a necklace hanging on the chest, with a cross style, surrounded by S-shaped snakes... almost exactly the same as the necklace in Xu Tian's urn.

Zhan Zhao looked at Bai Chi and clicked him. Bai Chi opened his backpack and took out the urn from it. Zhan Zhao originally wanted to take this urn to show Zhao Jue, and ask him what the use of this necklace was.

Zhao Jue frowned slightly when he saw the urn in Bai Chi's hand. Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other. Zhao Jue always looked cynical or a secretive expression. It was the first time he saw him frowning.

Bai Chi opened the urn and took out the necklace. Zhao Jue reached out and took it carefully, picked up the identification magnifying glass beside the table and looked at it carefully. After reading it, he was silent for a long time before saying, "The black snake is obsidian, and the cross is silver... That's right, it should be the earliest ornament."

Zhan Zhao had many questions to ask him, but he would still turn his face and continue looking at the portrait.

The woman next to the man aroused the curiosity of the people. It was a Chinese woman full of classical beauty and was wearing elegant clothes. Her clothes were indeed European-style, but they all reflected Chinese elements everywhere, which shows that they were quite attentive when making them.

Standing next to the woman was a beautiful boy with brown hair. It should be the child of this woman and that man. It does have a hint of mixed race. In the woman's arms was a baby who was about one year old, wearing a cute skirt, so he should be a little girl... It should be a happy family no matter how you look at it, but the expressions of this family are quite weird, the smile on the corners of their mouths give people a very reluctant feeling, and their eyes are dull, which makes people feel very uncomfortable.

"Is that painter has a grudge against them or something?" Gongsun couldn't help asking, "Why is it so weird?"

Everyone nodded, it should be described as weird.

"If you live here tonight, you should want to read this book." Zhao Jue walked to the head of the bed and took out an old book. It was almost disconnected, but he could still read it, so he handed it to Zhan Zhao.

Zhan Zhao took the book and saw that it was the original German book "Monster", which was the book that Jiang Ping found when he was investigating the badge.

"Where did you get it?" Zhan Zhao was a little surprised. "I heard that this book is out of print."

"This family is very old." Zhao Jue smiled and said, "That's why I bought this house and demolished it, because there are secrets in each brick.

Everyone looked at each other, and Gongsun asked in confusion, "What do you need to do with an anatomy tool?"

"Don't worry, you'll be able to use it in a while." Zhao Jue smiled.

At this time, I heard a pleasant piano sound coming from the upstairs. Zhao Jue seemed intoxicated and said, "They are both smart children."

"How smart are you?" Zhan Zhao asked.

Zhao Jue smiled and said, "Very smart."

Everyone didn't know what puzzle they were fighting, but Zhao Jue's smile still made people feel a little nervous.

"By the way." Zhao Jue suddenly said, "It's almost time to eat."

Everyone was confused by Zhao Jue's completely illogical way of thinking. Bai Yutang asked, "There is still something I haven't figured out."

"No hurry." Zhao Jue waved his hand and said, "It took me several months to find all the clues in this house, and I guarantee you can figure it out in one day... But, you must believe that eating first is better than eating later, I am for your own good."

As he said that, Zhao Jue walked forward, gently held Bai Yutang's arm, and said, "I heard that you have great cooking skills. I wonder if you can cook Western food?"

Bai Yutang looked up at Zhan Zhao weakly, but saw that Zhan Zhao was not frying this time, but took a napkin, lowered his head and wiped the little lion's mouth seriously. It had already finished drinking a large bottle of milk and was still hiccupping. Seeing Zhan Zhao's eyes full of pampering, Bai Yutang had a little taste. This cat had a lion and wouldn't have mice!

But there was no way. After all, this was Zhao Jue's home, and he had the final say. Bai Yutang was dragged by him to the kitchen downstairs to cook.

It was not until Bai Yutang was forced to take off his coat, put on a long black apron, and started cooking that Zhan Zhao understood and looked up and asked dissatisfiedly, "Why let Xiaobai cook?"

Everyone looked at him powerlessly - did you finally remember?

Afterwards, Bai Yutang was washing vegetables in the kitchen. Zhao Jue, Zhan Zhao and Gongsun leaned on the bar outside the kitchen while drinking drinks while watching Bai Yutang cooking in the kitchen. Bai Chi and Luo Tian were taken out to play with the sand by two children who had finished practicing piano.

Zhan Zhao touched the little lion from time to time, and this little thing was very close to people.

"It comes from East Africa." Zhao Jue suddenly smiled, "Its mother was driven out of the lion group and took it to wander. Soon its mother died. The local animal protection organization put it together with other little lions. Because it is white and smallest, it has been bullied... I happened to see it and brought it back."

Zhan Zhao smiled slightly, pinched the little lion's ear, and asked, "What's its name?"

Zhao Jue picked up the corner of his mouth and said, "I have been thinking about it, but I haven't thought about it yet."

"Why did you investigate the affairs of this family?" Zhan Zhao asked Zhao Jue seriously, "I always feel that you seem to be pursuing something?"

Zhao Jue was silent for a while, and asked without answering, "...Do you know why Zhang Ying entrusts the child to me?"

Zhan Zhao was slightly stunned and shook his head in confusion, "Didn't you say she has something important to do? Something more important than children?"

Zhao Jue laughed softly, reached out to pick up the belt from the urn, and said, "This belt is very smooth, with traces of use, but it is not worn."

Zhan Zhao frowned slightly.

Gongsun, who was standing beside him, held his chin and said, "Indeed, this is not like the smoothness caused by frequent wear, but more like the frequent touching of people. The leathery things will have an oily texture, which is very easy to identify."

"It's worthy of being a forensic doctor." Zhao Jue nodded and said seriously, "Some things must be investigated clearly, some revenge must be avenged, and some people must be killed."
