Chapter 0694 - Clues on the Canvas

The exhibition hall was silent.

Xia Lei's brain was quiet for a second, it was like a high-speed engine, and the analysis and calculation in an instant were beyond the imagination of ordinary people, incredible. But his own feelings are very normal, very natural, and he can even appreciate the artistry of the Mona Lisa with a calm state of mind while searching for answers.

Leonardo da Vinci's painting technique is amazing, he almost applied layer after layer of paint on the canvas, each layer is different. Different layers of color are mixed together to create a masterpiece under the action of light. No matter what angle you look at the woman in the painting, her smile is so sweet and charming.

The last layer of paint disappeared, and the perspective line of sight went straight to the canvas, and at that moment Xia Lei's gaze paused Xia Lei, and his eyes also burst with excitement.

The canvas has pencil lines that make up the peaks, rivers and bridges, and it's a map!

Between those lines there is also some writing in Italian, which looks blurry and difficult to decipher. Xia Lei resisted the excitement in his heart, and he wrote down all the pencil drawings on the canvas.

That's the value of the Mona Lisa!

The world only saw Leonardo da Vinci's painting skills, the smile of the Mona Lisa, but this is the real purpose of Leonardo da Vinci to leave this painting!

No one has discovered this secret for hundreds of years, because no one who has been in contact with the painting, past or present, has been able to take advantage of the fact that the paint on the painting has been stripped off the canvas and seen what has been left on the canvas with a pencil. Da Vinci doesn't leave clues in this way for no reason, because his clues are only left to those who can see it—the only one!

"Mr. Xia?" Jacqueline Eva's voice.

Xia Lei's thoughts were suddenly interrupted, and his vision returned to normal. He looks calm on the surface, but his heart is turbulent, not calm at all. He didn't know where the hidden map on the canvas corresponded to in the real world, the text was blurry, but if he gave him a little time, he could restore everything and find the place the map indicated!

A new clue has appeared, and he is one step closer to cracking the secret of AE and the ancient alloy!

Jacqueline Eva said again: "Mr. Xia, you are very attentive, do you have any unique views on it?"

"My opinion? Does it matter?" said Charley.

Jacqueline Eva said: "I would love to know your opinion, in my opinion, you are very similar to Leonardo da Vinci, your opinion must be unique. ”

She said something unintentionally, a metaphor, but Xia Lei's heart was shaken, "Miss Eva, you say that I am very similar to the place, why do you say that?"

"Leonardo da Vinci is known as the world's only all-rounder, in addition to being a painter, he was also a sculptor, architect, musician, mathematician, engineer, inventor, anatomist, geologist, cartographer, botanist and writer, good at astronomy and geography, literature and art, mathematics, physics and chemistry and many other disciplines, his IQ is also recognized as the highest in the world......"

Xia Lei interrupted her, "I admit that he is the only all-rounder in this world, and I also admit that he is the person with the highest IQ in this world, but I can't do it at all, how can I be the same as him?"

"You've built the world's most advanced intelligent machine, and every weapon you've designed has incredible performance, and it's undoubtedly the best of its kind," Jacqueline Eva said. I feel that you are a person who is decades ahead of us in terms of thinking and ability, and what you are building now, we will need to build in decades. And in that era, Leonardo da Vinci gave the impression that his thoughts, the things he researched were decades ahead of that era. That's why I said that you are somewhat similar to him. ”

Xia Lei was silent, with mixed feelings in his heart.

Jacqueline Eva's statement made him believe even more in his guess just now, that is, Leonardo da Vinci may also be a person who took AE capsules! Not for anything else, because he knows his own situation very well, although he is not as good at things as Leonardo da Vinci, but as long as he is willing to learn and study, it is not difficult for him to achieve the achievements of Leonardo da Vinci in that era! He has long proved that he is not a mathematician, but he has solved the Riemann conjecture that has plagued the entire mathematical community for a century just by his mental arithmetic ability!

There is also a new question in his mind, that is, if da Vinci also took AE capsules, where did his AE capsules come from?

"Mr. Xia, what are you thinking?" Jacqueline Eva said tentatively, "Did I upset you by what I said?" ”

Xia Lei smiled, "I'm so stingy, I think you're praising me, it's just an exaggeration." After a pause, he changed the subject, "You just asked me what I thought of this picture, and I'll tell you now." The painting is beautiful and deserves the title of an artistic treasure. But as you said, it's just an oil painting. For a hungry person, it is worth less than a loaf of bread. ”

"Hehe, is that what you think?" Jacqueline Eva smiled, "It's really unique, so do you still want to buy it now?"

Xia Lei shook his head, "I don't want to, it's just an oil painting, in my eyes, it's not as valuable as a beautiful woman." ”

He had already seen what Leonardo da Vinci had left him, and the painting was already just an oil painting for him. It makes no difference whether the painting hangs in his living room or in the Louvre's exhibition halls.

"Oh, Mr. Xia, you're really direct. Jacqueline Eva laughed, "But this is France, the most romantic place in the world, and a man like you will be liked by many French girls." But she said another sentence in her heart, "Pervert, according to the analysis of the information, the results are also correct, you are a horny fellow, and women are your weakness." I'll magnify your weaknesses. ”

"Let's get out of here, then I'll go somewhere else. Charré said that he didn't want to stay in front of the Mona Lisa all the time, but he couldn't just watch the Mona Lisa and leave, which would arouse the suspicion of the French female agent.

"Mr. Xia, what else do you want to visit?"

"Well, take me to see the relics of the Orient. Xia Lei said.

"Alright, please follow me. Jacqueline Eva left the Mona Lisa with Charé.

As he walked to the door, Xia Lei glanced back. His gaze fell on the background of the painting, which was the small Italian town of Bobbio. The place where Leonardo da Vinci lived, his next destination.

Led by Jacqueline Eva, Charé visited several more exhibition halls. An hour later he left the Louvre.

The glass pyramid glows silently in the night, and there are few pedestrians in the square. Military off-road vehicles parked on the side of the road and eight heavily armed special forces of the National Gendarmerie became a very conspicuous presence.

"Mr. Xia, it's still early. Jacqueline Eva smiled and said, "Why don't I show you around, and then we can find a place to have a drink?"

Xia Lei really wanted to find some excuse to refuse, and his gaze suddenly moved to the direction of the intersection. In that direction, several Chevrolet Suburban off-road vans sped up. He then turned his gaze in the opposite direction, where several Chevrolet Suburban SUVs were also speeding up.

The Chevrolet Suburban SUV is the favorite vehicle used by CIA field agents, and with so many of them, Xia Lei has realized what is going on. His gaze followed off the road and onto a tall building in the distance. There were two people lying on the roof of the tall building, and he could clearly see their faces. The two men, one Arecio and the other Bagu, also had an XL2500 sniper rifle in their hands. In the other direction, also above the tall buildings, he saw Yelena and Amanda, as well as Marcus and Erdemutu. The six members of the Zodiac Clan form a triangular sniper circle, locking the entire square within their sniper range.

Xia Lei didn't see Park Taeyong, but as the person in charge of transportation, Park Taeyong must be in a car at the moment, ready to rush into the battlefield and take him away.

A sneer appeared on the corner of Xia Lei's mouth, if the CIA people wanted to arrest him here, it would be hilarious, because the CIA people would not only have to face him and his Zodiac team, but also Jacqueline Eva and the special forces of the French National Gendarmerie!

Jacqueline Eva also spotted the vehicles rushing from both sides, she suddenly became nervous, she grabbed Xia Lei's hand, and said anxiously: "Hurry!

The reaction of Erickson and the special forces of the National Gendarmerie was also swift, and they used vehicles as cover and divided into two groups, one aimed their guns at the vehicles rushing from the left, and the other at the vehicles rushing from the right.

Ignoring the French national gendarmerie, the other side rushed closer in the blink of an eye, and then surrounded the three French vehicles. At this time, Xia Lei didn't have time to get into the car.

The door opened, and more than two dozen people in black suits, holding SCAR assault rifles produced by the Belgian company FN, pointed their guns at Xia Lei and the French personnel without exception. This gun is an assault rifle specially produced by the Belgian company FN for the American special forces, with superior performance and powerful firepower, and was once the most advanced assault rifle. But that was before the birth of the Hurricane assault rifle of the Reima Arsenal, and now the most advanced assault rifle in the world is the Blaste Assault Rifle. In the event of a fight, these two guns will definitely go head-to-head!

A pair of black heels poked out of an open car door and landed gently on the ground, followed by a pair of long legs wrapped in flesh-colored stockings, a thin waist, crisp breasts, and a pretty oriental face. This face is the face of Gu Kewen, and it has a foxy beauty.

Xia Lei looked at Gu Kewen who got out of the car, and there was no expression on his face. This woman is like a cockroach in his eyes, killed again and again, she just doesn't die.

Gu Kewen's gaze also moved to Xia Lei's face, and the four eyes looked at each other, and a good-looking smile appeared on her face, "Hehe, I really didn't expect it, it's so easy." I can't believe it, really, Charleigh, you've always kept me elusive. What's wrong with you saying that you are hiding in China like a turtle? This is the backyard of Europe, the United States. ”

Xia Lei didn't speak, just looked at her quietly.

Jacquelyn Eva's face was ugly, and her eyes were cold, "CIA people, what are you doing here?"

Gu Kewen said: "This person is the person we want, and we are going to take him." Please cooperate with us and don't make trouble for yourself. ”

After speaking, Gu Kewen moved his eyes.

A C.I.A. field agent followed and walked toward Xia Lei with a gun in one hand and a handcuff removed from his waist in the other.

She really wanted to take him from here.
