Xie Lanshan acted recklessly when handling the case. Although he explained that it was called "the soldier never tires of deceit", he was unavoidably criticized by the Tao's father and son again. They washed the taro in rice soup and mixed the flour into a paste. He was completely kept in the dark.

Sending off Lao Tao, who was furious, and greeted Xiao Tao with stern brows, Xie Lanshan knew that the other party was going to teach himself a lesson, and before he spoke, he said with a smile: "Hey, Lao Tao, the fire in the Art Museum of the Provincial Academy of Fine Arts seven years ago, How are you doing?"

Tao Longyue hummed angrily, but he had to admire Xie Lanshan. He said, "You kid is more reckless and a bastard than before, but I have to say that sometimes evil can be used to defeat evil, and it works."

He raised his hand to call Xiaoliang and brought a stack of documents to Xie Lanshan. He said that thanks to the "Hunting Net Action", the documents of the old cases were easier to check. Seven years ago, the fire in the Provincial Art Museum killed two people, one young of workers have not yet married, a female administrator divorced, leaving a child on the man's side. This is basically in line with Zhang Wenli's confession. The so-called "wire failure" is actually just a pretense. The fire is arson, that is, he sent people to set fire to the "fake paintings" that he had discarded, so as to destroy his own guard and steal. evidence of.

Xie Lanshan took out a photo from his portfolio and looked at it. The photo was of a row of elementary school students. They might have just finished performing a school program. Both boys and girls were heavily makeup. One boy had a red dot on his eyebrows. Danfeng's eyes are hanging from the eyebrows, the skin is as white as water tofu, and the pursed lips and smiles are more graceful than that of a little girl.

"It is said that he went to the United States with his father at a very young age, so there are only photos from ancient times." Tao Longyue had already recognized the eyebrows and asked Xie Lanshan, "Who do you think you look like?"

like who? Just like a teenage version of Qin Ke.

Xie Lanshan didn't speak, and he was in the United States when he was young. Originally, Qin Ke was in line with Shen Liufei's profile, but now he has a motive.

When it was time to get off work, the details of the case became clearer and clearer. Xie Lanshan was about to leave the city bureau when he happened to meet Shen Liufei who came out of Tao Jun's office.

Xie Lanshan looked at Shen Liufei without blinking, and seemed very impressed by his icy and snowy demeanor, and took the initiative to invite him: "Mr. Shen, come to my house for a while?"

Xie Lanshan wanted to reconsider this case, Shen Liufei understood what he was thinking, and nodded generously: "Okay."

When we went back, a light rain poured down unpleasantly. Both of them were half wet, and they were quite embarrassed. Xie Lanshan said to Shen Liufei: "You can take a shower first, you can wear my clothes."

Shen Liufei went to the bathroom to take a shower, Xie Lanshan lay on the sofa and pondered blindly, pondering both the case and the person, paying attention to the movement in the bathroom, intentionally or not.

The sound of the water was pattering, and Xie Lanshan seemed to smell the fragrant smell of grass in the rain, so all kinds of strange and fragrant thoughts traveled for thousands of miles and could not stop. He laughed and scolded himself as "not serious", patted his face, and forced himself to focus on this case.

On the way, Shen Liufei told him that, with the permission of the leaders of the Hanhai Municipal Bureau, he had carefully inspected Li Guochang's "Fu Tu of Luoshen", but found nothing unusual.

So, where is Tang Zhaozhong being detained, is he alive or dead now? Another point is that even if they knew that the murderer was Qin Ke, they had no evidence, so they might not let him pretend to be Luoshen again, and let the security guard Xiao Zhou come to testify? That's still not convincing enough.

Maybe it was to wait for Zhang Wenli's sly rabbit. He didn't close his eyes properly for a few nights. Xie Lanshan's head began to hurt again. He lay on the sofa and closed his eyes, and began to imagine why he would choose to stay here if he was Qin Ke. Use this method to kill Li Guochang at this time? The motive was obviously revenge. The poison was used instead of the murder weapon because he was afraid that the bloodstains left behind would reveal his escape route. The cyanide was used instead of other poisons because the time was too short. The power outage was only five minutes, and the time for the security patrol to be in place was even shorter. , he must choose the king of poisons that can cause "lightning death" to avoid being identified by the dying Li Guochang. However, cyanide is a dangerous chemical under the direct supervision of the public security department. Illegal trading is strictly prohibited. Qin Ke, a poison that cannot be obtained through formal channels, can only buy it secretly online.

He has searched for "cyanide" on the Internet, and there are indeed some secretly sold. The first news that pops up on Baidu makes people laugh and cry, "Depressed boy swallows potassium cyanide and commits suicide, but online shopping is highly poisonous but fake medicine."

From monitoring the blind corners to the arrangement of wax figures, it is enough to kill people in the net of heaven and earth. How could such a meticulous and meticulous person miss a fatal link

His head hurt even more, and Xie Lanshan couldn't help frowning. He had been busy with cases and had no home for a while, and he always felt that there was something wrong with the atmosphere of this quiet night.

When he closed his eyes and rested, someone came gently behind him, Xie Lanshan didn't open his eyes, he knew it was Shen Liufei. This man walked very lightly, like a gust of wind blowing through the wilderness, and most people may not be able to hear it when they are awake.

Shen Liufei's fingers pressed against his temples and gently massaged him: "Headache?"

Xie Lanshan acquiesced in the opposite direction and nodded slightly: "Yes."

His fingers were slender and cold, rubbing the hot blue veins on his forehead, and he felt very comfortable. Shen Liufei stared at Xie Lanshan's face. The long eyelashes cast a thick shadow on his fair face. Even with his eyes closed, he seemed to be able to see the look in his eyes.

Xie Lanshan acquiesced and even liked the other party to approach him like this, he raised his hand, took Shen Liufei's hand, put the warm palm on his cheek, and rubbed it repeatedly. He made no secret of his trust and affection for him.

Shen Liufei frowned slightly, his eyes were dark and unclear, and he could not tell whether his face was happy or angry. Ren Xie Lanshan rubbed his palm for a moment, then he suddenly said: "There was a Dong Zhongshu in the Western Han Dynasty who once mentioned the idea of 'three qualities of sex'. Sex, the general idea is that people are born into saints, mortals and wicked people, which kind do you think you are?"

Xie Lanshan tried to recall his past, especially the undercover experience, but he couldn't get an answer. He smiled and said, "It's ironic that many drug dealers said that I was a saint and a Bodhisattva, but I always felt that Not myself."

Xie Lanshan opened his eyes, then froze.

Shen Liufei had just taken a shower, half-naked, with only a bath towel around his lower body.

Xie Lanshan was stunned for a while before handing over the clean clothes on the sofa: "I'm sorry, I forgot to get you clothes."

In front of him, Shen Liufei took off the bath towel. This man was strong, slender, with narrow and firm buttocks. The water droplets on his body made his muscles shiny. This body is like solid silver, and it is breathtakingly beautiful, except for the phoenix totem on half of his body. A long-scarred old wound, although cleverly concealed by colorful tattoos, is still full, lush, and bloody.

This body was in tune with those weird and fragrant thoughts just now, Xie Lanshan's heart rhythm was chaotic, and his face burned.

Shen Liufei didn't understand his fuss at all, frowned slightly and asked, "Have you never been to the school bathhouse?"

"Cough," this is not the first time I've seen him, Xie Lanshan coughed and felt that his behavior was inappropriate, "I've always wondered, Qin Ke should have known that Li Guochang wanted to withdraw from the exhibition. Murderer, after all, his enemy is Zhang Wenli, he just wants to expose his guarding and stealing through this nationally eye-catching exhibition, but why did Li Guochang want to remove the exhibition?" Xie Lanshan squinted slightly, staring at Shen Liufei, "Li Guochang Before the move-out, you seem to have called Mr. Shen on the phone?"

Shen Liufei was about to change into Xie Lanshan's shirt, and answered very simply: "Personal affairs, have nothing to do with the exhibition."

Xie Lanshan shrugged: "I'll just ask, did you find the message Tang Zhaozhong wanted to convey in "Luoshen Futu"?"

Shen Liufei buttoned his shirt, seeing that Xie Lanshan's eyes were always fixed on his tattoo, he glanced down, and his inspiration came: "If the core of the painting is the body, and the backing paper is the clothes, then put "Luo Shen Fu" The core of the painting was peeled off from its mounted backing paper, and the message from Tang Zhaozhong should be there."

This means that if this painting is to be cut into two parts, Xie Lanshan is horrified when he hears it. It is a big project to remove the silk-faced painting core that is more than five meters long. In conclusion, this is going to be broken, and no one can afford it.

The city bureau must report to the city layer by layer, and it has been reviewed and approved, but it is estimated that it will take a month or two to delay. By then, it is unknown whether Tang Zhaozhong is still alive or not.

As he was thinking about it, there was a sudden soft meowing outside the window. Xie Lanshan opened the window and saw that it was a little girl who lived in the same community with him. She would usually take turns feeding the wild cats in the community with Xie Lanshan, so it could be regarded as an acquaintance. . Right now, she was holding a large wooden box in which there were five wild cats of different colors. They must have just been born, their eyes were closed, and they were curled up together, exuding a pleasant smell of milk.

There were no security windows on the first floor, so the two chatted across the window. The little girl likes cats very much, but unfortunately her parents do not let her keep them. She took care of these five little things that were born without their mothers for a few days. Seeing that Xie Lanshan's house is rarely lit tonight, she gave her as if she had seen a savior. He sent it.

The little girl said, "The little cat's mother died. Several feral cats in the community died. I sent them to the pet hospital. The doctor said they were poisoned to death. I don't know who was so immoral..."

Xie Lanshan only realized at this time, where is the strange place in the community tonight, it is too quiet, and the usual slightly annoying cat meows are gone.

Taking the cat into the house, Xie Lanshan rubbed the corner of his mouth and smiled at Shen Liufei: "Yes, pick up five godsons for nothing."

Two white cats sleep with their eyes closed, a cow, a fat orange, and a particularly naughty tiger-skinned milk cat, crawling out of the cardboard box, trying to use their tiny teeth on Xie Lanshan's finger Leave a mark.

Xie Lanshan took out the two white cats who were ignoring people, and said to Shen Liufei, "These two look Gao Leng and look a lot like you, so let's call them Xiaoliu, Xiaofei."

Shen Liufei tilted his head slightly, covering his eyes with wet bangs or two, and picked out two cats from the cardboard box: "This one is greedy, this one is noisy, both are like you, then one is called Xiaolan, and the other is called Xiaolan. Just call Xiao Shan."

Only one cow remains.

What is it called? Xie Lanshan stared at this fluffy little thing and pondered, and suddenly slapped his thigh: "Two days before the theft of the Crane Art Museum and the murder of Li Guochang, I accidentally bumped into Qin Ke outside the gate of the community."

Shen Liufei asked him, "is it related to the case?"

Xie Lanshan's eyes were bright: "I see. Qin Ke can only buy cyanide from the Internet. He is such a cautious person that he will test the authenticity of the poison first. He lives in a hotel, and it is inconvenient to bring living creatures back to test. , then the least likely to be noticed after being poisoned is the stray cat."

Shen Liufei lowered his eyes and teased the cat: "I don't know if we can find evidence from the stray cat, even if you are lucky enough to find it, as long as Qin Ke insists that he just hates wild cats and wants to poison them, you still can't do anything about him. ."

Xie Lanshan also knew that it was not easy to do, and sighed: "Intentional murder is a serious crime, so the examination of evidence is very strict, and it must be verified with each other, and neither is indispensable. In our business, sometimes we face the corruption of people, but It is particularly ironic that criminals cannot be sanctioned within the limits allowed by the legal process."

Shen Liufei doesn't seem to agree with Xie Lanshan's point of view: "The police are the enforcers, not the sanctioners. The substantive justice of any individual should not override the procedural justice of the law."

The cool breeze has a letter, and the autumn moon is boundless. Xie Lanshan didn't want to conflict with Shen Liufei on such a night. He pretended to nod at the person, and said with a smile: "What cousin Xiao Shen taught is that my brother has been taught." He held the cat. The milk cat named Xiaoliu slid up his neck and lay on his back on the sofa, resting on Shen Liufei's lap, but his mouth was unconvinced and plausible: "Xiaoliu, your mother taught your father a lesson just now, your father If you don't talk back, it's not because of fear, it's because of love."

This person is quite disgusting, refuting other people's opinions and taking advantage of others. Shen Liufei didn't show any displeasure, but instead let Xie Lanshan lie down in his arms and stroked his cheeks and hair.

This kind of stroking was very comforting, Xie Lanshan's breathing became heavier, he turned his head to bite Shen Liufei's fingers, grabbed his fingertips, and licked his fingers wet section by section.

Shen Liufei squinted slightly, put his finger deep into Xie Lanshan's mouth, and slowly pumped it up. The action is very erotic, but the person doesn't change his face or pant, he said lightly: "What you just said reminded me that Qin Ke is such a cautious person that he is almost paranoid, and he can familiarize himself with the environment of the art museum by practicing over and over again. , escaped the scene in the dark, but he was standing in the blind corner of the surveillance camera dressed as a wax figure of Luoshen, how could he be able to determine Li Guochang's location at the moment of the power outage?"

Xie Lanshan couldn't close his mouth, allowing Shen Liufei's fingers to rage between his lips and teeth, unable to swallow the saliva, it flowed down the corner of his mouth. Shen Liufei used his thumb to wipe away the shiny waterline at the corner of his mouth again.

Xie Lanshan thought for a while and said, "There is only one possibility. Li Guochang has a luminous mark on his body, which can be seen by Qin Ke at a glance in the dark."

He looked at Shen Liufei and thought of the occasional white light spot on the surveillance video. Although the art museum had explained that this was a common physical phenomenon in surveillance footage, he now understood that it was not the truth.

Getting up from Shen Liufei's arms, Xie Lanshan called Su Mansheng and asked for a new autopsy, this time focusing on the clothes of the most neglected victims.
