Chapter 860

"Professor Oman? Professor Oman? " Linda knelt beside the old man and called him anxiously.

The old man was still breathing. He looked at Linda with fear and reluctance in his eyes. He seemed to want to lift his hand, but all he could do was move his fingers.

Linda flustered: "Professor Oman, don't be afraid. You'll be fine. I'll call the ambulance right away!" She took out her mobile phone to make an emergency call.

As soon as she reported the address, Professor Oman's throat heard a sound of "Luo". It was the sound of breathlessness. After that, his pupils began to spread and lost the magic light of life.

"Professor Oman? Professor Oman! " Linda grabs Professor Oman's hand. She calls out his name and shakes his arm to wake him up.

Professor Oman did not respond at all.

Xia Lei's eyes swept the whole study quickly. The study is in a mess. The books on the bookshelf are thrown on the ground. The drawers and wooden cabinets are also opened in a destructive way. The contents are also turned upside down.

It seemed to be a burglary, but Xialei smelled something unusual. The first is the fighting quality of the gunman, who is not a general gunman. Second is motivation. Who would rob a study?

"Professor Oman? Professor Oman... " Linda was devastated.

Xia Lei wanted to comfort her, but suddenly he saw a picture drawn with blood on the pine floor. It had just been pressed under Professor Oman's hand, Linda grabbed his hand, and the pattern came out.

It's not finished and looks fuzzy. From a normal point of view, it's even a bloodstain.

Xia Lei's left eye slightly jumps, awakening the ability of micro vision. He soon found traces of his fingers dipping in blood on the pine floor. According to the traces and the general shape of the blood pattern, he suddenly got an answer. It's the rudiment of an unfinished swallowtail cross.

The swallowtail cross, also known as Maltese Cross, consists of four "V", which is the emblem of the order of knights in hospitals.

That is to say, the unfinished emblem of the hospital Knights caused great shock to Xia Lei, who secretly said: "is the old man suggesting that his death is related to the hospital knights in a way? Or is it hinting at Linda

Charley wanted to tell linda what he found, but he swallowed it again. He is now "mare" rather than charay. He is just a businessman who runs a clothing factory. He didn't act like a businessman just now. If you tell Linda about his discovery, will Linda treat him as a businessman?

"He is my most respected teacher..." Linda began to cry.

Xia Lei gently held her shoulder. "Don't be too sad. I'm sure the police will punish the murderer."

"He is a very friendly person, and there are people who kill such good people..." Linda was leaning against Charley's thigh, looking sad.

There was a siren outside the house, and a minute later two policemen came in.

Charley helped Linda up.

One of the two policemen checked the scene and the other made a record for Linda. Then another policeman also asked Xia Lei for a few words. Xia Lei simply described the course of the incident, but said nothing else.

Half an hour later, Professor Oman's body was taken away. The police also set up a forbidden area with seals. Linda left a contact number for the police, and then went back to her home with Xia Lei.

Linda sat on the balcony and looked down at the town on the hillside without saying a word.

Xia Lei made her a cup of coffee, and then handed it to her. "I know you're upset, but I'd like to open it. One day, people just leave the world in different ways. "

"Thank you for saving me." Linda looked at Xia Lei with gratitude in her eyes.

"I just did what I should have done. Don't thank me." Said Xia Lei.

"But..." Linda looked puzzled. "I didn't find any gunmen in the house when I stood at the door. How did you find them?"

"I was next to you, not far behind me was a window, it was open, and the dark walls made it a mirror," she said. I saw the gunman from the glass, when he was aiming his gun at the door. If I don't mind that much, I'll knock you to the ground. "

"Thank you." Linda's eyes were soft. "You must be the angel sent by my father to save me. If you were not me, I would have left the world with Professor Oman."

Xia Lei said after a silence: "Linda, can you tell me what's going on? You have an appointment with Professor Oman. He is going to give you something, but he is killed. I didn't see you get anything either. "

Linda just looked at Charley and didn't speak.

Xia Lei shrugged. "Please forgive my curiosity. I'm just involved in this matter. I want to know why. If it's inconvenient, you should think I didn't ask. "

Linda said: "the main purpose of my return to Sicily is to get the iron leaf book from Professor Oman, but I didn't expect that this would happen."

"Iron leaf book? What? " Xia Lei is confused.

"It's not made of iron, it's made of bronze," Linda said

"Bronze book?" Xia Lei's heart was shocked. He thought of the bronze book in his hand!

"Yes, it is actually a bronze book. There are some inscriptions on it that can't be read. It's very mysterious. Before it was in the Vatican Museum, it was a mysterious collection that was never displayed outside. It was once suspected that it was the legendary book of the leaves, but it was obviously not. Professor Oman and the Pope are good friends. He is entrusted and authorized by the Pope to study the iron leaf book. Well, that was a month ago. "

A month ago, Zhu xuanyue woke up and the man in black appeared. On the other side of the ocean, there is also a bronze book. Is this a coincidence, or is there someone or force manipulating it secretly?

Xia Lei's brain hole suddenly opened, but even with his super brain, he could not find a clue to connect these things.

"My academic exchange in China is not over yet. I received a call from Professor Oman. He said that he has made new discoveries. He asked me to come back and take iron leaf book to Malta island. I asked if I could wait for a few days, but he told me that he had booked me a ticket, well, that's the plane we took. "

Xia Lei's heart moved. "Is it his ticket or someone else's help?"

"I don't know. I didn't ask. He looked worried, and I couldn't refuse, so I came back. Coincidentally, we met and became neighbors. " Linda said.

Is it really just a coincidence?

No matter which seat you take on the plane, you will have a neighbor. You will have a good feeling for each other. It's not surprising that you can become friends if you can talk. It's no surprise that such things happen every second in the world. I don't know why, the feeling that someone in Xialei's heart manipulates him to meet Linda in secret is becoming more and more obvious. Before Linda mentioned the iron leaf book, he didn't feel that way.

"Why did he ask you to take the iron leaf book to Malta? Why didn't he go by himself? " After a brief silence, Xia Lei tests the tunnel.

"He didn't say it, but I'm sure he did it for a reason."

"Did he tell you where to take the iron book to Malta? Or to meet someone? " Xia Lei is eager to know the answer.

"Well..." Linda's eyes moved to Charley's face. "Mr. Marley, why are you so interested in iron book?"

Xia Lei realized that he was too anxious and aroused Linda's suspicion. He then said: "nothing, I'm just curious. I have a strong curiosity about those mysterious events, and I also like to go to places with a strong sense of mystery, Hansong cave in Vietnam and angel waterfall in Venezuela. Well, I conquered the waterfall by myself. "

"Whoa!" Before Xia Lei could blow down, Linda's eyes turned to release a strange light. "You conquered Angel Falls? It's the biggest waterfall in the world. It's almost 90 degrees vertical. Even a lot of professional extreme athletes can't conquer it. How can you conquer it? Incredible! "

Xia Lei gently shrugged his shoulders. "I like exciting and mysterious things. I don't want to be a businessman, but you know, I have to make money, or I can't conquer those places."

"You are a very strange person." Linda stares at Charley. "You must have a lot of stories."

"Each of us has a story. The difference is just between ordinary and non ordinary." Charley cleverly shifted the subject. "Professor Oman has been killed, and iron book has disappeared. Do you want to go to Malta?"

If she doesn't, he'll leave tonight. He would not waste his time on an Italian woman.

"I'm going to see it. I'm going to see it where Professor Oman asked me to go." Linda said.

Xia Lei didn't ask where it was. He has made a mistake that is urgent. He can't make the same mistake again.

Linda suddenly got up from her chair and moved to Charley's side.

Xia Lei looks at her and guesses her motive.

Linda suddenly raised her hand and put it on his chest.

Xia Lei was slightly shocked. "Miss Linda, what are you doing?"

"What a strong muscle." Linda said, "you said you conquered anhel falls. I want to see if your body has that condition. Can you show me?"

She is a very clever woman.

Xia Lei hesitated for a moment, then unbuttoned his shirt, and took off with his suit. His upper body is very strong, but there is no exaggerated muscle line, his muscle line is very soft, very symmetrical, giving a nearly perfect sense of beauty and strength.

Linda's hand slipped off Charley's chest muscle and landed on his stomach, which was used for eight abdominal muscles. The white, tender and hard muscles look like they are carved from beautiful jade.

"I've never seen a body like you, your skin, your muscles I can't find words to praise them. " Linda's eyes twinkled with excitement, and her hands slid down to the gap between her belts against Charley's ABS.

Xia Lei stepped back. "Well, it's late. I want to go back to my room. Good night, Miss Linda. "

There was a flash of disappointment in Linda's eyes. "Mr. Murray, are you going to Malta with me tomorrow?"
