Otherworldly Merchant

Chapter 54 Ancient Paintings

Actually, I was curious. What channel did Li Yuntian use to know that I was a shady trader?

And on the basis of what judgement does he have, the murder and the insinuation?

At first, I suspected it was Yin Xinyue who told Li Yuntian, but Yin Xinyue's head shook like a wave drum, insisting that she had never said anything.

That's weird!

And when I got to the place, I knew the truth.

Li Yuntian told me that he had seen my father assist the police in solving the case before when he was only an intern in the criminal police force. That is, from then on, Li Yuntian knew that there was a shady businessman.

Of course, Li Yuntian's attitude at first, like most people, felt that the shady trader was a feudal superstition. There was nothing real about it. In short, it was all kinds of disgrace. Even think that the leadership is so stupid, why did you hire an underprivileged person to help solve the case?

It was not until today that he became the so-called ‘leader' that he finally realized the bitterness of leadership.

Now that he has solved the problem, the case has not progressed and not even a single body can be seen.

Now the superiors are furious and photograph the table in front of colleagues. Li Yuntian really had no way to go. That's why he came to me as a shady businessman for help...

Of course, he didn't come to see me in a hurry, but he heard about it some time ago. I helped the Hong Kong police solve a serial suicide case. After that, the Hong Kong police also sent an open letter to thank me on the website.

Although the whole letter did not mention my special means, but smart as Li Yuntian, guess what I did.

Li Yuntian's eyes are burning at me at this moment, looking forward to my answer.

This is the way things are, and I can barely agree.

Li Yuntian was happy, but he also said something that made me feel upset. That is, my identity, can only be arranged as a ‘enthusiastic crowd’, so that I can not be disputed.

I was upset, but I couldn't help it. Under the larger regime, only the above arrangements can be followed.

I immediately asked to go to the crime scene to see, first of all I had to judge what the hell was going on with that punk!

Li Yuntian didn't say anything, and drove me directly to the scene.

The crime scene has been sealed off, and even the entire third floor is uninhabited. There was such a weird homicide, they dared not to continue!

Li Yuntian told me that because of the special nature of the case, the body of the deceased was temporarily kept at the crime scene, guarded by two civilian police officers on duty at the door, and cameras were installed at the crime scene.

I asked Li Yuntian, didn't the body have hands last night? Did you see all the cameras?

Li Yuntian nodded: “Yes, the bodies were cut off with Qigan's hands, not missing. The policeman on duty insisted that nothing had happened last night. I saw the camera records and everything was just fine. ”

I suddenly asked, "Why did you install cameras at the crime scene? ”

Li Yuntian grabbed his hair with embarrassment: “I knew this case wasn't done, so I wanted to photograph the evidence, show it to the top, let it know how evil the case is, so I can turn my hand out. However, I didn't get anything useful, I had to look for you privately...”

His behavior is well understood, the case is a double-edged sword, it is handled, the water rises high, it is not handled well, I'm afraid the service will have a great impact.

The scene of the murder was truly unusual, with an astonishing amount of blood dragged from the inside of the room to the stairwell. Other than that, there's nothing wrong with it.

Even the tables and chairs in the room are clean and tidy.

And at the beginning of that bloodstain, I saw the ancient writing in Yin Xinyue's mouth.

The ancient painting was hung on the wall with a sandalwood table underneath, filled with apple banana candles and other tributes.

Before the victim was born, he was offering this painting!

It seems that she must have moved some kind of distortion to try to achieve some purpose through this painting.

I measured the painting very carefully at the moment.

This surface has been around for some years, with yellowish surfaces and lots of broken edges. I went to see the payment for the handwriting at first sight. I wanted to see the author of this painting. What kind of person is it?

However, the creator of the handwriting does not seem to want to reveal his identity, as only the words "Don, sixteen years old” appear in the paragraph.

Without a doubt, this painting belongs to the Tang Dynasty. Tang Dynasty's handwriting was a peak in the development of ancient Chinese calligraphy and painting, at which time many large painters emerged! For example, there are Wu Daozi, who is known as the Holy One, and Yan Liben and his brothers.

Paintings at the time were basically based on living customs and playing with water on the mountains. But the painting in front of him is strange, because he is neither the worldly content of life nor the mountain water map, but it looks like a scene of ‘execution’!

In the painting, there was a beheading table, on its knees, a wretched prisoner distributed by a beard. His hands and feet were tight and firm, waiting for the executioner to end his life.

Behind him, the executioner, wearing a red coat and a beard full of beards, lifted a giant machete high and a fierce face.

The executioner's expression was very preaching and looked like he was biting his teeth and resentful.

And near the decapitation table, an official watched the scene of the execution. There was also a large crowd of people around, numb, didn't come up to stop it, but it was like watching the noise.

I took a sip of cool air, although it didn't take long to get into the shady circle, so I've been studying antiques since I was a kid.

There are hundreds of ancient handwriting paintings that you've seen!

However, this execution-head painting has never been seen.

This thing is probably lonely. The art is very valuable. I'm afraid it's priceless. I had to beat myself up for a while and wanted to put it in my bag.

Of course, the evil of this painting must be removed before it can be included in the bag, otherwise it would be tantamount to inviting a god killer home.

Li Yuntian asked me, “Mr. Zhang, do you have any thoughts? ”

I shook my head and said, "Not yet, but Officer Lee, I have to ask one thing first, does this painting have to be handed over to the state? ”

Li Yuntiantong would laugh: “Don't worry! I know the rules of your line of work. As long as you help me solve the case, this painting belongs to you...”

I said, "Good. I'll figure it out as soon as I can." But as a matter of urgency, find the hands of the deceased first, or I'm afraid you won't be able to speak up.

Li Yuntian said, “Do you already know where the dead man's hands are? ”

I nodded and said, "That's natural, but those hands are in the police station. ”

Li Yuntian was very surprised: “The police station is at least 10 kilometers away from the scene of the murder. How could the victim's hands run to the police station?

You know, police stations are not anywhere else, they're heavily guarded, and they can't let outsiders in. ”

And I laughed and I said, "Well, you're wrong. You forgot what we're dealing with now? Cases involving insidious objects can be considered with normal thinking? I know what you're saying, so we can go to the police station and find out. ”

Li Yuntian was excited, nodded immediately and drove me to the police station.

I asked Li Yuntian to take me directly to the place where the deceased's cell phone was kept, which is the evidence department.

When I proposed looking at the victim's cell phone, Li Yuntian looked at me strangely: "Mr. Zhang, aren't we looking for the victim's missing hands? What are you looking at on the phone for? ”

I mysteriously said, "Those hands are right around the phone. ”

“That's how sure you are? ”

“Because the deceased texted Yin Xinyue with those hands.” Speaking, I let Yin Xinyue flip out a text message and show it to Li Yuntian.

When Li Yuntian saw the text message, his whole face was so white, he shook and said: “This... what the hell is going on? How could a dead man text. ”

I said that there are things involved in Xuan Xuan Xuan, which can't be explained naturally by human thinking.

Li Yuntian didn't ask much more, just contacted the civilian police in charge of physical evidence and asked him to open the cabinet where the cell phones were stored.

When the cabinet was opened, two things suddenly fell out of the cabinet. Look carefully, isn't it just a pair of bloody palms?

The palm of the hand is cut all over the wrist, the wound is neat and even the vascular bones can be seen clearly. And in one of those hands, he was still holding a cell phone.

I can't believe the phone is still on the SMS interface, one of them has sent a text message, and it's astonishing!
