The shooting incident outside the Crane Art Museum is undoubtedly on the news. The bad news spreads for thousands of miles. After various media have fermented, the case that was originally thought to be settled has re-emerged. The province attaches great importance to it, and all related ghosts and snakes are together. coming.

Before coming here, Xie Lanshan had always felt guilty. He and Shen Liufei only rubbed a little skin, but Tang Xiaomo was seriously injured and was admitted to the hospital.

He has made several reports, explaining the dangerous situation at the moment, but the leadership does not approve it, and the public does not buy it. Xie Lanshan even suspected that he became a policeman just to write an inspection. He was very embarrassed, from head to toe, body and mind, he silently received a slap in the face from Tao Jun: As a people's policeman, it is outrageous to save himself without saving witnesses at a critical moment!

"I pushed her..." Xie Lanshan didn't explain much, the bullet was clearly aimed at Shen Liu, and he didn't know why Tang Xiaomo was shot and fell to the ground.

"Then you should stand in front of her. Huang Jiguang can block the hole, but you can't?!" Zhang Wenli and Li Guochang's wife Evelyn both came. In front of a crowd of outsiders, Tao Jun was still angry, not at all. Thinking about protecting the shortcoming, he blamed Xie Lanshan for not being stable enough, not steadfast enough, neither adaptable nor sacrificial.

Tao Jun scolded himself until his blue veins burst, spittle splashing everywhere, and Xie Lanshan was downcast, his face turned white and blue, as if he was ashamed. In the end, Zhang Wenli couldn't stand it any longer, and persuaded him to say, "Captain Tao, you may not have time to react in such a life-and-death situation, and Officer Xie doesn't want it either."

Zhang Wenli ran to the city bureau several times in person, and Evelyn also came several times, all to retrieve the paintings that were seized by the city bureau. Evelyn had the support of the US consulate behind her, and this time she brought a well-known criminal lawyer, who kept her chin in front of people all the way, arrogantly. The lawyer believed that the case was over, that the murderers and robbers were all these robbers, the ones who were damned were already dead, and the ones who didn't died were also caught in the legal net. It had nothing to do with this billion-dollar "Luo Shen Fu Tu".

Therefore, before new evidence emerges, the painting should be returned within three days.

The lawyer said every word of the law, bullying the old and rough criminal policemen who were not good at theory. But this time it didn't work.

Tao Jun was in a fit of anger. Whoever hit the gun would be unlucky. He clapped the table with the lawyer on the spot: "What new evidence do you need? The seriously injured girl in the hospital is the hard evidence! China is a country ruled by law, and anyone who commits a crime in our country will be punished. Chinese law must be applied. Now the case is not over, no matter who it is or for what purpose, it is useless to rely on intercession to close the case hastily! If the personal safety of our citizens has been violated, we must deal with criminals in accordance with our criminal law. To the end!"

A barrister in a suit and leather shoes, a white girl with a tall horse and a tall horse, were both silenced by Tao Jun, knowing that at this juncture of excitement, it would be useless to move anyone out, and walked away in despair. On the other hand, Qin Ke's good-natured as always, and seeing Xie Lanshan sullenly heading for the group outside the door, he comforted him a few words.

When the visitor was almost gone, Xie Lanshan was so irritable that he kicked a trash can outside the door.

When Xie Lanshan looked up, it was Zhang Wenli.

Director Zhang was wearing a grey-white New Tang suit with a round neck and cloth buttons, which made him look personable and elegant. He was not annoyed by being kicked by Xie Lanshan, he took the initiative to greet him, and said with a smile, "Officer Xie, are you taking something to vent your anger?"

Although Xie Lanshan had many doubts about Zhang Wenli, he also respected him as a leading figure in the art world today. It was inconvenient to show his displeasure directly on his face. The complete painting could not be saved, and the people were not taken care of.”

"You are already a conscientious policeman," Zhang Wenli asked him very rationally, "how is that little girl surnamed Tang?"

"I heard from the doctor that the dangerous period has passed, and the situation is relatively optimistic." Xie Lanshan breathed out his breath and regained his energy. "Luo Shen Fu Tu" is fake, so we can find out the murderer behind the whole thing!"

"That's great." Zhang Wenli was happy with Xie Lanshan, his voice changed, and then he sighed again, "It's not easy for a little girl, she's pulling herself up by herself, how can you say she's an old friend of mine My granddaughter, can I go to the hospital to see her?"

Xie Lanshan squinted at Zhang Wenli. His eyes were vicious, but from Zhang Wenli's dimpled old face, he didn't see any hypocrisy. Xie Lanshan had doubts about his judgment, hesitated again and again, but reported the hospital address. It wasn't a top-three hospital, but it was also a luxurious and spacious single ward in a private hospital. Shen Liu flew out the money, and he felt guilty too.

The two chatted for a while about something unrelated to the case. Zhang Wenli said that he had follow-up work in the art museum and left.

Tang Xiaomo lay in the VIP ward for a few days. Except for Xie Lanshan, no one came to see her. First, she was seriously injured, but the hospital said no, for fear of affecting her recovery. Second, she had no relatives or friends. She was alone when she was a child, and it was not easy to support herself by cheating.

Tang Xiaomo was out of the dangerous period. After waking up for a while, she was now covered with a quilt and fell asleep. The curtains were completely drawn and closed, the inside of the ward was dark, the lights outside were full of lights, the night market was noisy, the young girls were like flowers, and the men were like bees and butterflies. She doesn't care.

Xie Lanshan explained a few words to the two nurses on duty at the nurse station, and left the hospital. He was going to track down the old black Buick that day. It would be good to take a look at Tang Xiaomo during his busy schedule.

The two nurses were very young, one was chasing a drama, the other was eating chicken, and they didn't notice a shadow sneaking in and quietly entered Tang Xiaomo's ward.

The door was gently pushed open, Tang Xiaomo was dripping and fell asleep.

Before sneaking into the hospital, the man deliberately checked to see if there were any probes on the wall. As he expected, it was not a tertiary hospital where many people came and went. The VIP ward of such a private hospital attaches great importance to the protection of patients' privacy, and there is no such thing.

He stole a needle tube and planned to inject air into the infusion tube on the infusion set pot. Air embolism would cause respiratory and circulatory failure. It was simple and easy, and it was very likely to be regarded as an accident caused by a broken infusion set. It will eventually be seen by the police, but it may not be so easy to find his head.

The man reached out and touched the infusion set, but before he could operate it, the other hand suddenly grabbed him.

The man was startled and wanted to quickly withdraw his hand, but the man on the bed had already lifted the quilt and sat up, making a familiar man's voice, low and pleasant, but it made the infiltrator tremble.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time."

The light in the ward was turned on, and the man stared at the familiar face in front of him in a stunned manner. Shen Liufei twitched the corner of his mouth lightly, and continued, "Director Zhang."

Zhang Wenli realized that he had been invited into the urn, turned around and ran, just ran to the door of the ward, widened his eyes again, and backed away.

He saw Xie Lanshan and Tang Xiaomo appear at the door, neither too early nor too late, blocking his way out.

Tang Xiaomo really fell to the ground that day, her arm was rubbed by a bullet, and there was a lot of blood.

All the news in the media wrote that "falling in a pool of blood", and depicting the scene of the shooting as appalling, is actually an exaggeration. But in Tang Xiaomo's own words, I was so frightened that my aunt came on the spot, can't I be called Blood Pool

The moment Xie Lanshan saw Tang Xiaomo fall to the ground, he was immediately inspired. When the security guard who came to support didn't find it, he covered her mouth and whispered, "Close your eyes and lie down."

Because several famous paintings and calligraphy stolen from the Crane Art Museum have been handed by the robbers, the evidence is not really sufficient. As long as Zhang Wenli was killed, the paintings were stolen after they were stolen, and no one could do anything about him.

In addition, Evelyn was aggressive, relying on the support of the US consulate behind her, Xie Lanshan worried that even if Shen Liufei could verify the authenticity of "Luo Shen Fu Tu", she would not be able to use her strength at all.

Therefore, leading the snake out of the hole has become the best way at the moment.

Therefore, he let the public opinion and Tao Jun scolded him to the point of scolding him, and accepted it without arguing or arguing, in order to increase the authenticity of the whole story, waiting for Zhang Wenli to throw himself into the net. The bait was cast from the kick he seemed to be kicking just for air.

"I've been hiding and waiting for you for a few days. If you don't come again, I'll die of boredom." Tang Xiaomo shrugged at the stunned Zhang Wenli, with sympathy in her eyes, and pointed to the side with a thumbs up, "He What a thief, really, let alone the police, there is no such thief among thieves."

Xie Lanshan squinted and smiled at Zhang Wenli, with a kind face: "I won the prize."

"I'm here to visit the doctor." He was quite calm when he took the stolen goods on the spot. The needle in Zhang Wenli's hand had just been thrown away, and he said in a very calm and official tone, "I'm here to see the granddaughter of an old friend, it's not illegal. Bar."

"I just wanted to fish and fish for shrimps, but I'm going to use severe torture to extract a confession, but I didn't expect to catch an old man!" Xie Lanshan pretended to be surprised, and cursed people like chicken thieves. His eyes were always bright, even if there was no expression Spring love. He patted Zhang Wenli on the shoulder and pointed at him to the LCD TV in the ward, "Come on, look at the infrared camera and say hello."

There was no surveillance outside the ward, but it couldn't be helped that the ward was already fully prepared. Zhang Wenli had planned to fight the beasts, but he was completely dumbfounded.

Shen Liufei also came over at this time and explained Zhang Wenli's doubts on behalf of Xie Lanshan: "This case involves foreigners. If there is no incident or blood, or the above can't stand the pressure from all parties, the painting must be returned."

"That's not what I said. It's the same whether it's foreign or not. We Chinese police are always on business, and friends come and have good wine," Xie Lanshan raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhang Wenli with a smile. Half singing and half reciting, "If the jackal comes, there will be a shotgun to meet it."

Zhang Wenli was taken back to the Hanhai Municipal Bureau and confessed that he had used his position as the deputy director of the Art Museum of the Provincial Academy of Fine Arts to steal and sell famous Chinese calligraphy and paintings overseas. He even admitted that he deliberately set fire to the fire and destroyed the evidence before the security system of the Provincial Academy of Fine Arts Art Museum was upgraded and the collection of cultural relics was checked. But he denies the rest of the case, saying he has no knowledge.

Zhang Wenli said that he did not kill Li Guochang, did not kill the robbers, hired a murderer to shoot Tang Xiaomo, and did not kidnap Tang Zhaozhong. What did he say I tied him up for? You have also seen that the fake paintings used for replacement in the Crane Art Museum are 3D printed with the latest technology, which is much faster and more reliable than finding a painter to paint one.
