Yunzhou Police Station, inside the special task force office.
"Sister Miao," Zeng Kehui reported, "the laboratory team is testing Zhang Qile's paintings, and the police have also invited painting experts to test whether the paintings are authentic works by Zhang Qile!"
"Um… "
Miao Ying nodded, but her eyes were fixed on the big screen. What was playing on the big screen was Zhang Qile's "Red Bathtub".
Although it cannot be said to be 100% similar, the painting painted by Zhang Qile still highly restores the crime scene of the red bathtub case.
However, the dead woman in the picture is different from the real red bathtub victim.
At that time, a total of four victims appeared in the Red Bathtub case. From this point of view, Zhang Qile's painting did not point to any one victim.
The woman in the painting should be Zhang Qile's own imagination.
At this moment, Wu Xiumin took the black and white crime scene photo of the red bathtub case and compared it with this realistic oil painting.
"It can be seen," Wu Xiumin said, "there are still some differences in details, but in terms of composition and characters, it is very similar to the crime scene!"
"So..." Cui Lizhu frowned and said, "We are not completely sure that Zhang Qile must have seen the crime scene of the red bathtub case?"
"Xiao Cui, didn't you remind me before?" Wu Xiumin said, "Zhang Qile is of the wrong age. It is impossible for her to have seen the crime scene with her own eyes!"
"Well..." Cui Lizhu said instead, "In other words, there are only two possibilities left. One is Zhang Qile's imagination. This is just a coincidence!
"The other one is a photo of the crime scene that Zhang Qile saw. At that time, the police officer responsible for taking the photos was named Zhang Shuai," Cui Lizhu said, "But Zhang Shuai and Zhang Qile have nothing to do with each other..."
"Sister Miao, I deliberately checked before," Zeng Ke said, "Among Zhang Qile's male friends, there is only one section chief of the traffic police brigade, and none of the others have anything to do with the police.
"As for the traffic police team, it is impossible to see the photos of the crime..."
"Speaking of photos..." Captain Shao quickly explained, "We checked the evidence room. Because the red bathtub case has been closed, the files on this case have been placed in the archives room and no one has touched them!
"However, the archives is an internally open place, and any criminal police officer and archivist of the serious crime team can access it. Therefore, it is probably impossible to find out who leaked the photos..."
"Hmm..." Miao Ying nodded and looked at Zhang Qile's paintings carefully.
"Captain Miao, there is one more thing," Captain Shao reported again, "We have checked on Bao Yucheng. On the day of the incident, he was not in Guangdong, but attending an art salon in Xiangjiang. He had very clear suspicions. Proof of presence!
"Also, Bao Yucheng is also a famous person in Guangdong Province. I checked his background again, and it's very clean!" Captain Shao said, "Although he has contact with Zhang Qile, he probably didn't lie. They didn't go deeper. relation."
"Yes," Zeng Ke agreed, "I checked the transaction records of Zhang Qile and Bao Yucheng. If there is an ambiguous relationship between them, it should be obvious!"
"That's true," Cui Lizhu smacked her lips and said, "If Zhang Qile really captured Bao Yucheng, the super diamond king, then she wouldn't have to worry about her gallery anymore!
"Moreover, she will never mess with Bao Yicheng...
"So, it seems that Bao Yucheng is not suspected, right?"
"The painting..." Miao Ying sighed and said, "It was Bao Yucheng who took it out from the garage. You all saw it. When he took it out, there was thick dust on the painting. This shows that although Bao Yucheng likes this painting, But it didn’t reach the level of obsession, and he didn’t even put it in his safe!
"So... tsk tsk..."
"There is no problem with Bao Yucheng, and there is no problem with Bao Yicheng," Cui Lizhu smacked her lips and sighed, "So... this case has reached a deadlock
"We... don't have any other way to continue investigating?"
"To be honest, this is the first time I have encountered this kind of thing," Captain Shao said with a frown, "Whether it was the crime scene or the place where the victim was kidnapped, there were so many surveillance cameras, but nothing was captured!
"I really can't understand this!"
"Sister Miao," at this time, Zeng Ke put down the phone and reported to Miao Yinghui, "the forensic department called and through the identification of experts, it was proved that the red bathtub is indeed Zhang Qile's original work and was painted by her!"
"Oh... this is strange!" Miao Ying also frowned, "Zhang Qile, how did you draw it? Their family has nothing to do with the red bathtub case. Why... she would draw such a painting... "
"Team Leader Miao," Wu Xiumin seemed to have seen something at this time, pointing to the police photo and said to Miao Ying, "Look carefully, there is darkness here. The darkness in the scene record is because there is The white candle melted...
"Look at Zhang Qile's paintings again," she pointed at the big screen, "pay attention to the same position, there..."
"Ah!?" Miao Ying's eyes widened, but what appeared on the painting was a white candle, and it was a burning candle.
"The positions of the two are very close!" Wu Xiumin said, "Team Leader Miao, Zhang Qile's paintings are probably based on them!"
As soon as this statement came out, the whole hall was shocked!
It even feels creepy!
"The age doesn't match..." Cui Lizhu said doubtfully, "Then... Zhang Qile must have seen the photos of the crime? Should we... should search her residence?"
"But..." Wu Xiumin said, "The position of the candle is correct, and the scattered charcoal chips on the ground are much bigger, but... tsk tsk..."
"But what?" Seeing Wu Xiumin in such a dilemma, everyone became even more curious.
"The bathtubs are different!" Wu Xiumin finally said the key point, "I have compared all four bathtubs from that year, and they are obviously different from the bathtub in the painting. The height, style, and even color are different... "
"Oh... yes..." Cui Lizhu wondered, "If it was based on the photo of the crime scene, then the bathtub should be the same, and the victim... um... um... "
When Cui Lizhu said this, the scene suddenly fell into an even more depressing silence, because everyone thought of something at the same time, and it was an extremely terrifying point!
Finally, after more than ten seconds, Cui Lizhu also thought of this, and she was so frightened that her hair stood on end and the chill was overwhelming.
"My grandma Xiong..." Cui Lizhu swallowed, looked at everyone in surprise and said, "You... you don't mean...
“The red bathtub case is not over at all, is it
"After Peter was caught and the Red Bathtub case was announced to be closed, someone...someone committed the Red Bathtub case again, but...but after killing people, they were never discovered by the outside world again!
"Then... then..." Cui Lizhu pointed at the big screen and said, "Zhang Qile was an insider, or saw it secretly, she... she drew, and this led to the murder!?"
When Cui Lizhu said this, everyone got goosebumps even more intensely.
"If your inference is correct..." Miao Ying stared at the painting and said, "The woman in the painting may not be fictional..."
