Last time, forensic doctor Su disguised as a buyer of cultural relics and successfully infiltrated the Tequila club to find out. Captain Tao wanted to continue monitoring the phones of Sister T and her subordinates, hoping to wait for the rabbits and catch them as a current of stealing and selling cultural relics. But after successfully catching the surviving security guard Xiao Zhou, the monitored phone did not make any noise again. It took a while for Captain Tao to realize that they had discovered it long ago.

So I felt more and more that Tang Jinglan was not a simple woman. She has a clean family background, a beautiful resume, high education, high income and high status. She runs a well-known art company in the industry, and occasionally engages in books and films. She can be regarded as a heroine of spring wind and rain.

The security guard Xiao Zhou was instructed. Zhang Wenli must have a long-term cooperation criminal gang behind him. Tang Jinglan is suspected, but he cannot be arrested without evidence. The works of art are the behind-the-scenes instigators of murder and robbery paintings.

Captain Tao planned to use a long line to catch big fish, but he did not move or secretly worked hard, but Xie Lanshan suddenly took the initiative to contact Tang Jinglan again, saying that he wanted to ask her to help make a painting, the sooner the better. .

The painting was obtained soon, and Xie Lanshan was invited to the club again. This time, he didn't have to pretend to be Mr.

There was no activity in the club today, and the ceiling lights were emitting wisps of warm and hazy light. Tang Jinglan confessed to the secretary that he handed the scroll of "Luoshen Fu Tu" to Xie Lanshan, saying, "You have to be in a hurry. Seventy or eighty percent."

Xie Lanshan opened the scroll and took a look. The whole work was directly printed on the antique silk. Anyway, with his naked eyes, he couldn't tell the truth from the fake. Xie Lanshan smiled: "Thanks, I can't repay it."

"You obviously know how to repay me." With a deep and charming smile on her face, Tang Jinglan brought her body closer to Xie Lanshan, and reached out to tidy up his collar for him, stroking his chest with soft, boneless hands, "I recently I just saw the video on the Internet, and you look so handsome when you shoot."

The video has been deleted from the Internet because of its bad influence. What Tang Jinglan saw at this moment was a fish that slipped through the net. She looked at Xie Lanshan's face carefully, the video was good enough, the real person was better than the video.

"Isn't it embarrassing to say that when you see it?" A fragrant wind wafted into his nostrils. Xie Lanshan pretended to shake his head and sighed, looking rather regretful, and then he pushed Tang Jinglan, who was almost on his body, away, and swung it again. With a face that was half serious and half owed to Baden, he said in Cantonese with a slight smile, "I'm sorry, I'm here for the police."

Sorry, I'm a policeman. Tang Jinglan laughed, this is Tony Leung's line in "Infernal Affairs".

"I really didn't see that you were a policeman." After laughing, Tang Jinglan sat upright, but her voice was still flattering, "Where can there be such a beautiful policeman, she's clearly a leprechaun who kills people!"

It's not that Xie Lanshan hasn't been praised for his beauty, and he usually doesn't care about it. What a man's appearance is, the spirit in his bones is what matters. But this sister T praised too directly, and the words were too strange. Xie Lanshan was almost embarrassed. He stretched out his index finger and rubbed the bridge of his nose.

The other party was puzzled, but Tang Jinglan didn't force it, she just said, "We still welcome Officer Xie to come and sit often in the future. It's an honor for people like us who do serious business to have a police friend."

Xie Lanshan smiled without answering. Taking the scroll, he got up to go, and went straight to the gate, then turned around and said to Tang Jinglan, "Is it serious business? Let's see later."

He curled two fingers, pointed in front of his eyes, and slammed his mouth twice, meaning, I'm staring at you.

Mingren did not speak secretly, Tang Jinglan was stunned for a moment, then laughed.

When Tang Xiaomo was studying, Shen Liufei took this "Luoshen Fu Tu" brought by Xie Lanshan, and went to the hospital to visit Tang Zhaozhong. They met with the agent who wanted to hold an art exhibition for Tang Zhaozhong. The two met in the corridor of the inpatient department. The agent had heard Shen Liufei's name for a long time and nodded politely, but Shen Liufei looked down on this kind of "worm" in the painting and calligraphy circle. , walked away expressionlessly.

Tang Zhaozhong was still lying on the hospital bed, and it would take some time for his bodily functions to fully recover. Shen Liufei motioned the accompanying nurse to leave the ward. When there were only two people in the ward, he respectfully called out, "Elder Tang."

He glanced at the bedside table, where various supplements and fruits were piled on it. It seemed that the agent was full of sincerity and ran here a lot.

"The child came to see me because he was interested." Tang Zhaozhong asked Shen Liufei, "Mr. Shen, why are you free today?"

Shen Liufei sat beside Tang Zhaozhong's bed: "I have a piece of work, but I didn't like it when I painted it. After I finished it, I felt that there was something wrong. I would like to ask Mr. Tang to help me take a look."

Tang Zhaozhong shook his head again and again: "Mr. Shen is too polite, you are already a member of the family. Whether the painting is good or not depends on the age of the painter. Besides, I don't understand contemporary oil painting, so I can't see anything."

Shen Liufei said, "This is an ancient painting that I copied. I learned Chinese painting when I was a child, and only started to specialize in oil painting when I was an adult."

Tang Zhaozhong praised: "No wonder, I think your paintings are based on oil painting, supplemented by Chinese and French, which is very different!"

Shen Liufei became famous at a young age, and of course, he also got some light on his appearance. He didn't think he had such a great talent, but his reputation at home and abroad was real. Tang Zhaozhong was different. Facing the young and handsome painter Shen, combined with the fact that most of his life was unknown and impoverished, he was quite emotional: "Mr. Shen is a talented and lucky person, and he has achieved great things early, just like Zhang Daqian and Fu Baoshi, In his twenties, he became famous in the art world."

"It's good to be famous early, but it doesn't matter if you become famous later. Qi Baishi only 'changed the law' when he was in his 60s. By changing his style of painting, he became a master of the generation. Huang Binhong is even later, and he started to shine at the age of 80." Shen Liufei said it was flattery "The key is whether you can leave your name in the history of Chinese art. I think in the future when people mention painters who are late bloomers, they will definitely mention Tang Zhaozhong."

Tang Zhaozhong's expression was complicated and unclear, as if happy, as if sad, and he sighed deeply again.

Shen Liufei said: "I don't paint much anymore. My main job is to help the police arrest criminal suspects through the brush in my hand."

"It's a pity, it's a pity..." Tang Zhaozhong shook his head again and again, feeling that with Shen Liufei's level and fame, being a mock portrait artist in a small criminal investigation bureau is particularly condescending.

"I don't think it's a pity. Chasing evil and protecting life is more meaningful and more interesting than maintaining one's reputation in the painting world." Shen Liufei looked at the old man's face, his eyes were rational and clear, he was in front of Tang Zhaozhong. , slowly unfolding the picture scroll he brought: "Old Tang, you should take a look at this picture for me."

He saw that the printed "Luo Shen Fu Tu" was only unfolded in one corner, Tang Zhaozhong's eyes straightened immediately, and a pair of cloudy eyeballs almost condensed into stones, without any luster.

"This is..." Tang Zhaozhong knew these fake ancient paintings too well, and immediately reacted, "This is the lowest-level printed fake painting!"

"Fake paintings are all the same. There is no difference between human copying and digital copying." Of course Shen Liufei knew the difference between the two, but he said so on purpose.

"Thank you for being a painter, what nonsense are you talking about?! High imitations are not fakes, let alone fake paintings!" Tang Zhaozhong was furious, coughing and scolding, "Copies are also works of art and have their artistic value! The Forbidden City's Orchid Pavilion "Preface" and Liao Bo's "Luo Shen Fu Tu" are both imitations, but they have the same charm as the real work, are they all fake paintings in your mouth?!"

"Of course I know that the two are different, because I am also a painter." Shen Liufei nodded and seemed to agree with Tang Zhaozhong's words, but he was silent for dozens of seconds before changing the subject, "But the vast majority of ordinary people don't know, It's like they won't know whether you painted or digitally copied the "Luo Shen Fu" that almost eluded the connoisseurs and caused the murder case."

Tang Zhaozhong was shocked and angry, and he almost stood up from the bed: "What do you mean?"

"Qin Ke started the murder case before it started, it seems to be to expose Zhang Wenli's scandal back then, but in fact he was instigated and used by you, and you kill two birds with one stone, the real purpose is to avenge the art critic who almost ruined your entire painting career Li Guochang." Shen Liufei paused for a moment, "As for the case of Zhang Wenli's self-stealing, you are not as innocent as you said, and your conflict with him is not because you feel guilty and don't want to continue painting, but because Zhang Wenli found a new collaborator, using High technology has replaced you. So there are no kidnappers at all. From the beginning to the end, this is the situation you laid out by yourself. It took six years of careful planning. Even if the police failed to penetrate the secrets in the mezzanine of "Luo Shen Fu Tu", you yourself It's bound to escape, right?"
