In view of the thickness of the book, Jin Fei decided to lie down on the sofa and find a comfortable position.
The beginning of this book only tells about a professor of symbolism named Langdon, who is giving lectures in Paris. He was staying in a hotel and originally wanted to have a good rest, but he was distracted by the continuous phone calls.
The person who came to him was someone from the French National Judicial Police, asking him to help solve a bloody murder case.
The deceased was Jacques Saunière, the curator of the Louvre Museum and a famous scholar of symbolism.
The reason why Langdon was invited was because Langdon was the last person to meet on Saunière's schedule, and Saunière's death was horrific and strange, leaving behind a lot of special information. What Langdon learned could be put to use.
Before Langdon went to the crime scene, the perspective of the story changed to a man named Silas.
Apparently, Silas was assigned by a man called the Mentor to kill Saunière.
Oops, the murderer was revealed from the very beginning?
But this not only failed to solve the questions in Jin Fei's mind, but also made him have more questions.
This book is obviously not a simple detective novel. Through the descriptions in the first two chapters, he always felt that there was an invisible shadow shrouding every corner.
Of course, Jin Fei, who has read countless suspense mystery novels, can only give a relatively satisfactory evaluation to this beginning.
But the next direction of the story made Jin Fei's eyes light up.
Saunière was shot in the stomach, but in the last few minutes of his life, he stripped naked, lay on his back on the ground, assumed a Vitruvian posture, and drew a symbol on his abdomen with his hand dipped in blood.
Five-pointed star. There is also a string of numbers and two sentences left.
13-3-2-21-1-1-8-5
Ah, the harsh devil.
Ah, lame saint.
Then Neveu, the heroine of this book, appeared.
She stormed into the scene, revealed her identity as an agent from the DCPJ Code Breaking Division, and then told Director Fache that he had cracked the string of numbers.
After the numbers are rearranged, it becomes a Fibonacci sequence. Each number is the sum of the previous two numbers. It's that simple.
But the question is, what does it represent?
Why did the deceased take so much effort to write them out on the verge of death?
The matter was not that simple. While explaining the password, Neveu gave Langton a phone number, saying that it was a message from the U.S. Embassy on behalf of dcpj to forward to Langton. If there was something important, Langton needed to call the U.S. Embassy immediately.
But after Langton answered the phone, he found that it was a recording phone from Sophie's house, and Sophie's almost whispering voice was recorded on it:
"Mr. Langton, don't react in any way to this statement. Listen calmly. You are in a dangerous situation now. Please do exactly what I tell you."
Seeing Neveu's clever way of crossing Chencang secretly, Jin Fei smiled and adjusted his posture. It seemed that he couldn't put down the book today.

Although the book "The Da Vinci Code" contains a lot of religious and cultural knowledge, which makes readers a little confused, it does not seem to affect readers from reading further, because the pace of the book is so fast that readers have no time to react.
, their eyes can only follow each word.
However, the fast pace also has a disadvantage. Although it makes the readers obsessed with reading, in the end, the frequent perspective changes really make the readers tired.
Especially since this book has nearly 400,000 words, many readers have lost their energy to keep up halfway through.
Authors of suspense novels usually like to deceive readers, and Zhang Zhong’s works are no exception. In the past two years, countless readers have been deceived by Zhang Zhong.
And this book "The Da Vinci Code" seems to have brought the art of deception to the extreme. There are always various big and small reversals in the book.
Many clues will always lead the readers in the wrong direction. When the answer is revealed, the readers will shout, "So that's it."
There are two sides to deceiving readers, just like brain teasers. If the answer is not very clever, readers may find it a bit far-fetched. However, every reversal in this book is reasonable and in place.
…
It was not until two days later that domestic and foreign websites really started discussing the new book.
[Teabing is actually the mentor?]
[I went there and found out that the Mona Lisa is a combination of the fertility god and the fertility goddess.]
[Da Vinci really painted himself into the Mona Lisa?]
[Is the person on the right of Jesus really his wife?]
[This is a novel, do you think it is true?]
[This is not certain, after all, I think the analysis makes sense.]
[If that person is Jesus’ wife, then where is his beloved disciple John?]
[The premise that this thing is true is that Leonardo da Vinci knew the inside story, but this is also made up in the novel.]
[This is not the first thing that Zhang Zhong put forward. A scholar named Elke once published an academic article and discussed this matter in a very in-depth manner, even more in-depth than "The Da Vinci Code"
A little, but you may need to be patient to read it.】
[Also, was Leonardo da Vinci gay? 】
[This is not a secret, many scholars think so, but they are rarely mentioned publicly.]
【Real or fake.】
[Leonardo Da Vinci hoped that women and men would be perfectly integrated, just like the Mona Lisa.]
[It’s written in this book.]
[I really didn’t expect that Fache has been protecting Langdon and the others.]
[Please don’t spoil [Biquge www.boquge.me], I haven’t read the book yet.]
[Aren’t you making yourself uncomfortable? Why did you come to the discussion forum without reading a book? 】
【I just want to know if the book is good and interesting.】
[It is recommended that you read some book review posts that do not contain spoilers.]
[A book review post that does not contain spoilers is meaningless.]
【……】
[Is the Priory of Sion real?]
[This really does exist. I heard it is also called the Zion Church. The founding history that can be verified is from 1956. 】
[I have also heard about the Priory of Sion, and I heard that the evidence proving this Priory is hidden in the National Library in Paris.]
[Well, some people also say that the administrator of the National Library of France is related to the Priory of Sion, so scholars cannot get this evidence. ]
[Without this evidence, how do you know this monastery exists?]
[Because sometimes they will release some clues, but in the end they still make the researchers happy in vain.]
【This is too cheap.】
[However, the description of the Priory of Sion in the novel is still somewhat controversial.]
[Isn’t this nonsense? Scholars who specialize in research know very little about the Hermitage of Sion, let alone Zhang Zhong.]
The large-scale discussion of "The Da Vinci Code" began two days later, and "coincidentally", Hawthorne's new book "Beyond the Tribe" happened to be officially released two days later.
