Professor Langdon, who didn't know he was being suspected, looked better after stepping out of the elevator.
Fache asked, "You look nervous, Langdon."
Fache's words made Langdon even more nervous, as if someone had told him a secret in his heart. His face became a little ugly. He took a deep breath, shook his head and said nothing.
After following Fache into the exhibition hall, Langdon hurriedly found something to distract Fache and William and said, "Grand Exhibition Hall, you found the body here, right?"
Fache frowned and asked hurriedly: "You know so".
Langdon said in a relaxed tone: "I recognize the photo you showed me. The wooden floor above is like this. I have a good memory and I can't mistake it."
When Langdon saw Saunière's body, he looked horrified and swallowed, "God."
After walking quickly closer and observing for a moment, Langdon said: "The arrangement of Professor Saunière's body refers to Man of Virut, one of Leonardo da Vinci's most famous sketches, but why is there a five-star on the chest?"
Fache asked with his hands behind his back, "Does this have any special significance?"
Langdon was a little speechless at Fache, a layman's question. He was so ignorant. He said helplessly: "Symbols have different meanings in different situations."
Fache said seriously: "Professor, I came to you because I want to know the meaning of this symbol here."
"The pentagram is a pagan symbol in the Christian view. This is a very early pentagram. It is a symbol of the goddess Venus and represents the female half of all things. This is called the sacred feminine symbol among religious historians.
"
Fache asked: "You mean Saunière drew a female symbol on his chest before he died, ha, why?"
Langdon was speechless, "I don't know, officer."
"Yeah"
"Of course, how do I know why Saunière did this? I can only tell you what I know. This is not a devil's prophecy."
Fache took a fluorescent flashlight and shined it at the ground, and saw some words and numbers appearing on the ground. Fache said to Langdon: "What message do you think the deceased would write before dying?"
Langdon thought for a moment and said, "It's probably the murderer's name."
"Yes, that's right." Fache saw Langdon's face becoming more and more serious. He was about to continue when he heard a voice.
"Captain Fache, I'm sorry to disturb you. I received photos from the scene and cracked the code. I think the numbers Saunière wrote on the floor are Fibonacci numbers, so the headquarters sent me to understand the specific situation."
As soon as he finished speaking, William and others turned around and saw a police officer walking over quickly with a beautiful girl, came to Fache and handed him a document.
Fache took the document the beauty gave her, looked at it and nodded, "Okay, Officer Sophie, what do you want to know?"
Sophie did not answer Fache's words but said to Langdon: "Sorry, Officer Fache, please wait, there is an urgent message from headquarters to send to Professor Langdon."
The beauty smiled and said to Langdon: "I am Sophie, from the decoding department of the French Criminal Police. The American Foreign Embassy called our headquarters. Sorry, the foreign embassy said this matter is related to life and death. Professor Langdon, you'd better answer the call now."
, this is the phone number left by the embassy, and the password is the last three digits."
Langdon took the note suspiciously and heard that it was a matter of life and death. He quickly dialed the number on the note and heard the message coming from his mobile phone.
The call was connected, and a voice came from the phone that surprised Langdon, "Professor Langdon, please stay calm. This is Sophie. Please do as I say. You are in a very dangerous situation now. Do not say anything to
If Fache reveals anything, he is not looking for your help."
Fache looked at Sophie and Langdon with a confused expression, then glanced at William, who shrugged and said he didn't know.
After Fache told Sophie some information about the case, Sophie smiled and shook hands with Fache and said goodbye.
After Sophie left, Langdon hesitated and said: "The embassy said that a relative of mine was killed. Sorry, officer, I'm confused right now. Can I go to the bathroom?"
When Fache heard that Langdon's relatives had been killed and saw that Langdon looked distracted, he nodded sheepishly and pointed Langdon in the direction of the bathroom.
"I'm going too, I just want to go to the bathroom too." Just now when Langdon answered the phone, William cast an invisible amplification magic on Langdon.
Sophie heard what Langdon said clearly. He suspected that Langdon went to the bathroom at this time to escape. He walked up to Langdon with a smile and said, "Let's go, Professor,"
When Langdon and William entered the bathroom, they unexpectedly saw Sophie waiting in the bathroom. Seeing William come in, Sophie didn't seem to be surprised at all and asked Langdon directly: "Have you received Saunière's message?"
"What are you talking about? You got the wrong person. I was invited for consultation. Why do you say I am in danger?" Langdon said in confusion.
"No," Sophie said sternly, "You are being watched, Professor Langdon. Fache is a direct person. He will bring the suspect to the scene, and then watch them perform, hoping that he will reveal himself.
Tricks, proven guilty on the spot.”
Langdon pointed to himself in surprise and asked, "Suspect, me?"
"Yes, Langdon, you can check your pockets," Sophie said, "Hurry up."
Langdon touched his pocket in disbelief, but when he touched his coat pocket, his expression turned ugly because he found a GPS locator the size of a fingernail in his pocket.
Sophie took the GPS locator from Langdon's hand and said, "GPS locator, this thing can accurately find the location of anyone. This is to prevent you from escaping. As for you, William Devonshire," Sophie took out
Two pieces of paper were given to Langdon and William respectively. There was a photo on the paper, which seemed to be the invisible words and numbers at the crime scene.
Sophie said to William: "When did Saunière find you today?"
"I called Saunière in the morning, and he asked me to meet at Monica's Café. After that, he went to work, and we agreed to meet at the café at 8 p.m.," William said.
"What about you, Professor? What message did Saunière leave for you? Fache didn't go to anyone else at all. He went to you and William. William has evidence to clear away the suspicion. Now you are the only one who can't clear out the suspicion."
"You are suspected. Tell me what message Saunière left for you. We don't have much time left, Professor Langdon," Sophie asked.
Langdon was stunned when he was asked, "Then who are you?"
Hearing Langdon's words, Sophie said in a low tone with a little sadness: "Saunière deliberately wrote that row of Fibonacci numbers in order to let me, a person from the decoding department, join this case, and your name and
The abbreviation WDS of William's name is written at the end to invite you to join. Professor Langdon, you are an expert in symbols. I am looking for you to decipher the secret language.
As for why William is asked to join, I don’t know, so Mr. Devonshire, can you explain why Saunière wants you to join?”
William looked at the photo in his hand that indeed had his and Langdon's names on it. It didn't take long for William to know why Saunière wanted to join. Firstly, he wanted to find the secret, and secondly, Saunière knew the value of his force.
It is very high and can solve the danger in the search process.
But trying to get William to believe Sophie's words with just a row of numbers, William is not that easy to believe in people.
"Then you can prove that you were also asked to join by Saunière. I don't believe it with just a row of numbers, Sophie."
"PS, the PS in the photo refers to me. Saunière is my grandfather. He often called me Princess Sophie when I was a child. The first letter of Princess is P, and the first letter of Sophie is S."
William and Langdon looked at each other in surprise. After thinking for a moment, they both nodded. William walked in front of Langdon and grabbed Langdon's right hand. He inspected it carefully for a moment and put Langdon's right palm on it.
Smell it on the nose.
Professor Langdon's hands were clean and tender, and there was no smell of fireworks on his hands. William checked Langdon's left hand again and said, "Okay, I believe you for now, Professor. At least your hand doesn't look like it has been fired."
Gun Man".
Langdon suddenly grabbed William's left hand and looked at the ring on the little finger of William's left hand. "Fleur emblem, how come you have this ring? Isn't the Priory of Sion a legendary existence? Who are you, William?"
Sophie also looked at the fleur-de-lis ring on William's hand and said hurriedly: "I have seen this ring before, Saunière also has this kind of ring."
Sophie and Langdon looked at William in surprise, "So you and Saunière are both members of the Priory of Sion. This also explains why Saunière met you and asked you to join. God, so said Sion.
