The night before the show, Li Guochang died, and Luoshen Futu disappeared.
The world-renowned "Impression of China" was not successfully exhibited, but the limelight did not fall at all. The eyes of the whole world were focused on the Crane Art Museum, and the whole world also raised two questions, who stole the painting and who killed the person .
"On the night of the incident, the Crane Art Museum had a power outage and kept monitoring. From the surveillance video of the West Hall, we can see that three men in masked and wearing security uniforms pried open the display cabinet hidden in "Luo Shen Fu Tu" and took them away. At the same time, they also kidnapped the other three cultural relics in the exhibition hall, including the painted grey pottery pot from the Northern Qi Dynasty. The surveillance showed that they quickly left the art museum after they succeeded, and got into a smear parked on the street. After the incident, Zhou Ang, Li Dahai, and Chen Xinzhong, the security guards on duty at the Crane Art Museum that night, did not show up again, and their physical features were also in line with the three men photographed in the surveillance camera, so it is very likely that this was the case together. A premeditated art robbery."
The leader of the Hanhai Municipal Bureau's serious crime team, Tao Longyue, stood in front of the small blackboard in the conference room, drawing in circles with a marker, analyzing the case for the team members sitting below.
"Thanks to the identification work of the forensic team, the autopsy report of the deceased Li Guochang has been released. The earlobe and scar of the deceased's body are dark cherry red, and there is an injection needle hole on the right waist. The skin injury, the subcutaneous bleeding around the needle hole is 3.0cm × 3.0cm , the residual liquid detected cyanide components, and the entire poisoning and death process of the deceased took about two minutes, which is consistent with the performance of cyanide lightning-like poisoning, and it can be determined that this case is a vicious case of intramuscular injection of cyanide causing death."
Ding Li raised her hand and asked, "So is it possible that the murderer who killed Li Guochang was among the three security guards?"
Tao Longyue looked serious: "This possibility cannot be ruled out. Whether the murderer or the thief is very familiar with the security situation of the Crane Art Museum, he knows the dead ends of monitoring and the habit of security guards on shifts, so this case does not rule out their division of labor and cooperation, killing first before killing them. The possibility of stealing paintings."
Xiao Liang, who was sitting beside her, added: "At 8 o'clock that night, after the first power outage of the Crane Art Museum, Team Tao and I checked the wax figure area where the deceased was killed and confirmed that no one was there. Hiding until the surveillance video before the second power outage did not capture anyone other than the deceased Li Guochang entering, so the murderer is probably the person who was in the Crane Art Museum at that time.”
"However," Ding Li turned the ballpoint pen in her hand, she diligently took notes and asked questions, and she still had doubts, "There is at least a ten-minute journey between the west hall and the east hall, and the explosion-proof showcase of Luoshen Futu was pried open. , there's no need for those three security guards to kill Li Guochang to get the keys, isn't that unnecessary?"
The first power outage was five minutes, and the second time out, the captain Lao Qi responded in a timely manner, so that the time to arrive at the scene was even shorter. Xiao Liang was talking about what annoyed Tao Longyue. He clearly checked the wax figure area after the first power outage. , How can people outside the museum not be able to sneak in, kill and escape within five minutes, which means that the murderer killed people right under his nose.
Tao Longyue wrote and drew on the blackboard, and continued to analyze: "Li Guochang returned to China this time to donate national treasures, but a few days before the accident, he said that he would not give it, and then said that he would give it again, and his attitude was so repeated, this may be an entry point. ."
Another team member said: "I have recorded a statement for his wife Evelyn, and then I checked Li Guochang's communication records. He did receive a strange phone call that was only opened two days before the accident. The murderer asked him to go to an art gallery to commit murder?"
"The analysis is good," Tao Longyue nodded, "Li Guochang returned to China less than half a month ago, and this key phone call has only been opened for two days. The murderer may have intentionally killed after Li Guochang returned to China, and Li Guochang's interpersonal relationships in China are relatively simple. Start the investigation from the people around him, Zhang Wenli, Evelyn, Qin Ke and Liu Mingfang, these four people are the key investigation targets."
Xiaoliang said: "We have already checked the whereabouts of Li Guochang on the day of the crime. He had a big quarrel with his wife Evelyn at the hotel. The hotel cleaners witnessed the whole process of the conflict. After he left his room in a rage, Li Guochang went again. He asked Qin Ke to accompany him out on the other floor of the same hotel, but Qin Ke said that he was unwell that day and did not accompany Li Guochang on the trip. The hotel surveillance video also showed that Li Guochang went out alone. About seven o'clock in the evening, Qin Ke could not bear it. After that, he left the hotel and went to the hospital for an IV. When Li Guochang was killed, his IV was not finished yet. But there were so many people in the hospital that it could not prove that he did not leave from the beginning to the end. And Evelyn chased after the Crane Art Museum that day. After a quarrel, although she was blasted away by the security, no one could prove that she did not sneak in again, so neither of them had a clear alibi. From the analysis of the motive for the crime, Evelyn and Qin Ke also had The motive for the murder was that Evelyn wanted to sell the painting, but Li Guochang himself wanted to show the painting and then give it away. The two had repeatedly clashed over this matter. Li Guochang was old and depended on Qin Ke very much. Tell him to do it, and it is estimated that some contradictions will always accumulate."
"Then," Tao Longyue wrote a name on the blackboard, "Where's Liu Mingfang?"
"Team Tao..." Xiaoliang reminded aloud, "Liu Mingfang is... Liu Ju's..."
"No matter who the son is, as long as he is a criminal suspect, he will be investigated strictly and not loaned!" Captain Tao was not afraid of the leader, and his attitude was firm, "Liu Mingfang has an obvious motive for committing the crime, if Li Guochang dies, this painting will be logically done. Inherited by Evelyn, it is also called Liu Mingfang's heart. His company is not working well now, according to the 25% of the auction house's customary commission, as long as Li Guochang is killed, he can earn at least one billion yuan ."
Xiao Liang nodded and added: "As for the director Zhang Wenli, the security guard on duty said that he was also in the Crane Art Museum that night, so is it possible for him to lurk and kill?"
"But the surveillance shows that he never left his office on the top floor of the East Building. The power outage for just five minutes was not enough for him to go to the wax figure area of the West Building to kill people." There is also a simple map between the east and west halls of the Crane Art Museum. Tao Longyue looked at the blackboard puzzled and muttered to himself, "The key to this case is how the murderer did it, how did he get so short before the call was made? Killing people and running away in time?"
"It would be good if my senior brother was here. He is particularly good at this 'impossible' murder case." Although he only followed Xie Lanshan to solve the case of Cong's family annihilation, Ding Li admired this senior police academy senior with a face full of admiration. Chunguang said, "Sometimes I think he has the brain of a murderer,"
Captain Tao threw himself into the case wholeheartedly. After being reminded, he found that Xie Lanshan's position was empty.
"Where's Xie Lanshan?" The typhoon stopped and no one was seen, Tao Longyue was furious, his eyes spitting fire, "Have you not come back yet?"
"He came back, asked about the details of this case, and... left again." Seeing the captain's murderous attitude, Ding Li quietly lowered his head and sent a message to Xie Lanshan: Brother, Tao team is going to kill, when are you going to kill? return
- You and your sister-in-law have solved the case and come back together.
After replying to Ding Li in WeChat, Xie Lanshan put the phone back in his pocket and looked up at Shen Liufei in front of him.
This is a brand new world after the rainstorm, the sky is blue and the ground is green, all the noise and filth of the city have been washed away, and infinite vitality is contained in it.
Shen Liufei brought Xie Lanshan to an antique market. There are two famous collectible markets in Hanhai City. The east one is called Yunhe Antique City, and the west one is called Celebrity Street Collection Market. Those who know nothing about Tibetan play, such as Xie Lanshan, have also heard about these two markets in the news. Da Ming, so he didn't understand why Shen Liufei brought him to this place.
Shen Liufei saw his doubts and said lightly: "This place is mixed with dragons and snakes. Nine of the ten antiques on the stall are fake, and there is one other piece, either from a tomb or from a museum or an art gallery."
After speaking, Shen Liufei turned his head to the side, Xie Lanshan looked in the direction he suggested, and the end point of his eyes was a colorful hair and a familiar girl's face - Tang Xiaomo.
She also set up a stall here, selling famous paintings and calligraphy. It seems that her self-proclaimed "family of calligraphy and painting" was not without basis.
In a word, after clearing the clouds and seeing the sky, knowing that the other party brought him to find clues to solve the case, Xie Lanshan smiled: "Old rules, first listen to Teacher Shen's high opinion on this case."
"I don't have a high opinion, it's just an inference from experience," Shen Liufei has always been polite, but not very polite. Perhaps this indifferent and arrogant temperament is why Tao Longyue has been looking at him unhappy. He continued, "In addition to stealing the "Luo Shen Fu Tu", the three robbers also took the other three cultural relics with the sheep."
"Well," Xie Lanshan nodded, "then?"
"These three cultural relics are excellent, but not unparalleled. On the right side of the "Luoshen Futu" showcase is the book "Luoshen Fu" by Zhao Mengfu, which was exhibited together this time. The value of this exhibit is more than the three they took away with great effort. The sum of the cultural relics is even higher. After the power is restored, the alarm will sound. Since the watermelon has been stolen, why take the risk of picking up sesame seeds, and if you want to pick up sesame seeds, why not pick up a big one?"
Xie Lanshan understood what Shen Liufei meant, and nodded: "These three robbers are obviously 'laymen', and they may not know the value of "Luo Shen Fu Tu", maybe they were instructed to steal this painting, while the other three The cultural relics were handed to them by them, so they would definitely rush to the underground cultural relic market, and then find a way to smuggle them abroad, and then disappear from the scene, and live a life of worrying about hand cramps when counting money."
Shen Liufei nodded: "The murderer is thoughtful and good at camouflage. The two power outages in the museum are obviously inseparable from him, showing superb anti-investigation skills, while the thieves have brutal methods and flaws, and their aesthetics are even more messed up. So I am more inclined to 'murder' and 'steal paintings' are two groups of people, but if the paintings are recovered, this case may be solved."
What Shen Liufei said was what he thought, Xie Lanshan slightly raised the corner of his mouth: "I think we have all figured it out. Now the scope of the suspect is very small, and it is not far from the murder of the culprit."
"As for the murderer, have you ever wondered why he would go to great lengths to kill in an art gallery? Or is he going to hold a nationally-acclaimed exhibition the next day, under the watchful eyes of the patrolling police?"
"A poor bastard who is eager to attract the attention of others?" Xie Lanshan Nunuzui, "Nothing new."
"It's nothing new, but he did it." Shen Liufei suddenly stretched out his hand to support Xie Lanshan's back waist, and hugged him in front of him. He simulated the posture of needle injection with his hand, and gently touched Xie Lanshan's right waist. . Xie Lanshan resisted instinctively, and was tightly bound by Shen Liufei's arms, unable to move.
The two of them were very close to each other, their lips were only a few centimeters apart, and they could smell each other.
"Although Li Guochang is old, he is a man after all, and there is no trace of fighting and struggle at the scene, so to sum up, I infer that the murderer is an adult male, of course, a female with physical fitness close to a male, aged between 25 and 25 years old. At the age of 35, he is excellent in both character and study, and he treats people with modesty and courtesy, but he is conceited and has a desire to dominate." Shen Liufei paused and supplemented his point with a sentence from a poem, "Devils are usually unattractive, and they are just Among men, eat and sleep with us - WH Auden."
Maintaining an ambiguous posture and distance, Xie Lanshan squinted his eyes for a moment, and then analyzed the other party's words: "The cyanide injection needle was not left at the scene. I believe that the murderer must have worn latex gloves due to the meticulousness of the murderer, but in such a short time. It is a subconscious behavior, probably related to the work he is engaged in, he has always served as a 'housekeeper' who must be cautious in every detail. character of."
Following Shen Liufei's speech just now, he also used a famous quote to make a footnote for his judgment: "Biological organisms have an important feature, in order to maintain themselves, they must use their energy extremely sparingly—Avenarius' principle of least effort. "
Both of them have read a lot of books. You talk to me, just like two adolescent boys showing off their muscles and arm wrestling, while fighting and showing off.
"People haven't fully recognized the difference between criminals before and after committing a crime, and this difference is so significant that people often see them as two different people - criminal psychologist, Theodore Rick." Shen Liufei He also felt that it was naive to do this, but every time he would be led astray by this kid, he responded casually, intending to ignore it no matter how the other party bothered him next.
These words may be referring to the murderer who killed Li Guochang, but in the end, he stabbed Xie Lanshan in the painful foot.
Finally, he thought of the best sentence.
"I like you—the police officer of Hanhai City Bureau, Xie Lanshan."
This time, it was Shen Liufei who was stunned, his eyes widened slightly, and he didn't say a word.
When he said this, Xie Lanshan raised his eyebrows and deliberately looked at Shen Liufei with a crooked face, a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
This kind of flirtatiousness, not to mention the opposite sex, the same sex can't stand it, I didn't expect Shen Liufei to be invulnerable to all kinds of poisons. After being stunned, a cold face firmly shut out Xie Lanshan's spring intentions, he pushed him away heavily, turned his head and left.
Xie Lanshan seemed to be annoyed, and shouted behind Shen Liufei, "You were not like this in bed last night!"
I happened to pass by two young girls. Hearing this, I was stunned and ecstatic. After so many years of corruption, I bumped into a live gay today! With a bang, the two ice cream cones in his hand also fell to the ground in due course.
"Hey, just kidding, is it possible to do this?" The guy turned his face when he turned his face, Xie Lanshan quickly caught up with Shen Liufei, "I have already brought you to meet your future mother-in-law, you should also be respectful, when will you take me to meet you? mom?"
Xie Lanshan was still joking casually. He didn't expect Shen Liufei to stop. He turned his head and replied seriously, "She is dead."
"I'm sorry..." Xie Lanshan had no intention of exposing other people's scars, he murmured and asked, "How...died?"
Shen Liufei looked into Xie Lanshan's eyes with a calm expression: "She was murdered."
