Chapter 57: The Same Painting
The contradiction in the art of torture is the location of the studio.
Conditional studios should be bright, everyone knows that painting needs light, just like taking pictures, there is no color without light, and sunlight is the best natural light. Incandescent lamps, tungsten lamps, and fluorescent lamps all bring different colors, not to mention high-pressure mercury lamps and high-pressure sodium lamps.
"Painting in different lighting can have a great impact on the painting, and it can also affect people, of course, from a psychological point of view. ”
Tian Lianfeng couldn't help it again: "You know this, too?" ”
"I understand a little." Xingshu nodded, and then looked at Tian Lianfeng's mouth, Tian Lianfeng immediately covered his mouth.
Yan Gang said: "Okay, since you are here, then look for it, there must be an entrance and exit." ”
"I think, it must have been sealed, 'Hades', you take Tian Lianfeng back to get some tools, preferably an axe, and a strong flashlight, it's better to bring a few more, I'm waiting for you here." After the torture was finished, he didn't let Yan Gang ask anything more, "You hurry up, time waits for no one." ”
Yan Gang had no choice but to nod and immediately walked back with Tian Lianfeng. Xingshu stood at the door, looking here, holding the brush and began to think quickly about the front and back, connecting all the clues, just when he thought of meeting Ji Dewu in person, he suddenly thought of something, and then he was stunned, and then almost broke the brush in his hand.
He subconsciously shuddered, then looked around, feeling that someone was staring at him in the dark, and that person's eyes were full of murderous energy.
Xing Shu took out the phone, leaned his back against the wall on one side, and dialed Xing Guodong's phone, and after the phone was connected, he said to the other end of the phone: "Dad? ”
"Your dad went back." It was a woman on the other end of the line.
The torture technique was shocked, and he immediately realized who the person was: "Sure enough, it's you, eldest sister nurse." ”
The person on the other end of the phone was none other than the nursing nurse who prevented the torture technique from contacting Ji Dewu.
The nursing nurse sneered on the other end: "Boss Criminal, you are really smart, but I am not stupid, I realized at that time that a smart person like you will definitely soon find out that I am wrong, because I made a mistake, I am in a hurry to stop you and nothing, but I went to your father at that time, this radical approach will definitely make you suspicious, if I don't do that, you can't doubt me, right?" ”
Torture said coldly: "Yes, what about my father? ”
As the nursing nurse spoke, she turned her head and glanced at Xing Guodong, who was asleep on the sofa next to her: "I have given him an appropriate sedative in the water he drinks, and that dose will make him sleep until at least tomorrow morning, I am a professional, so I have controlled the dose, if I take a little more and mix something else, your dad will be in a coma for the rest of his life and become a vegetative state." ”
"Listen." Torture slowly squatted down against the wall, "No one can mess with my dad, no one can do things in that hospital, no matter who you are, no matter what you have to do, I advise you, it's best to put down the phone and run now, change your face and hide far away, it's best to dig a pit in the deep mountains and old forests and bury yourself, otherwise when I find you, I will make you regret coming to this world, of course, you still have a choice, that is, kill me, but if you can't kill me, I will definitely pay it back ten thousand times!" ”
After the torture was finished, he hung up the phone.
The phone hung up, and the moment the busy sound came, the nursing nurse hadn't come back to her senses, and it took five or six seconds before she subconsciously looked at the microphone, and swallowed her saliva involuntarily, because she knew very well that the previous words of the torture technique were not a joke, definitely not, not only the torture technique she saw on weekdays, but also the rumored torture technique, which was not a character to provoke, let alone his master named Zheng Cangqiong......
The nursing nurse's hand holding the microphone began to tremble, and one day a year ago, a daughter who came to her crazy father to ask for an inheritance was crying in the hospital, and later splashed a basin containing urine and urine on her father's body, just because her father did not leave her the property, this woman also injured two nurses and scratched Xing Guodong.
Seeing this scene, he stepped forward and dragged the woman directly to the window, and was about to throw her downstairs.
The woman was frightened, and the people around her were all frightened, so they stepped forward to stop the torture, and it took eight people to save the woman. At that time, when everyone discussed this matter in private, they all agreed on the fact that if they didn't stop it, the torture would definitely throw the woman down.
That day, when the woman escaped from the hospital, she was stopped by the torture who was waiting at the door, and the torturer was standing there smiling and chatting with her, and the woman never came to the hospital to make trouble again.
No one knows what the torture technique said at that time, only that provoking the torture technique and seeking death are equated.
There are many rumors of the same thing in the criminal art industry, and even the so-called social people who claimed to dominate the streets around the antique city back then had to change their faces when they heard the name of the criminal arts.
The nursing nurse stood there and watched Xing Guodong think about the next step, and then took out her mobile phone and dialed another number.
At the same time, Tong Yunhui, who was guarding the gate of the hospital on the other side, had just finished the call, after Tong Yunhui hung up the phone, he dialed another phone to Liao Hongmei, who was napping in the lounge, and said a simple word, after hanging up the phone, he moved a stool and sat down at the gate, quietly looking at the office building of the hospital.
The nursing nurse said while walking with her mobile phone, smiling at her companions from time to time, and after going back to the lounge to change her clothes, she quickly went downstairs and walked out of the office building, and before she reached the gate, she saw Tong Yunhui sitting there and the smile on Tong Yunhui's face.
The nurse realized something, turned and ran towards the low wall on one side, and when she reached the low wall, she saw three vicious dogs squatting there, and a bitter yellow man standing by the wall with his back to her.
Ku Huang Han turned his head to the nursing nurse and smiled: "Nurse Zhang, are you off work?" ”
The nursing nurse swallowed her saliva, pulled her legs and ran to the other side, looking around while running, and finally saw the big tree under the wall on the left, she ran directly over to climb the tree, just rushed to the tree, a broom flew over in the distance, and tripped it directly, and then Liao Hongmei, who was wearing a cleaning suit, walked out slowly with a basket, and fed peanuts to her mouth while walking.
"Don't play dead, get up." Liao Hongmei slowly walked to the nursing nurse, and when she was about to squat down, the nursing nurse suddenly turned around and took out a fruit knife and waved it over, which was lifted by Liao Hongmei and directly blocked her wrist, and then twisted it backhanded, so that the fruit knife was taken out of her hand, and then grabbed her arm and dragged it, the nursing nurse screamed, and as soon as she called out, Liao Hongmei leaned over and covered her mouth.
Liao Hongmei looked coldly at the frightened nursing nurse: "It's just a dislocation, you can't die." ”
As she spoke, Liao Hongmei raised her hand again to pull the dislocated nurse's chin, carried her in the direction of the basement, and said to the bitter yellow man on the side: "Sentry." ”
In the building on the other side, Xingshu and Yan Gang brandished an axe and smashed the floor under the stairs, and sure enough, there were stairs below, and they had been destroyed, and the floor above was put back together, originally to make people not see that there was a passage below, but it turned out to be self-defeating, and it was too strong, but it was discovered by Xingshu.
Going down the stairs, the torturer picked up a flashlight and shone the stairs below, which were badly damaged, but barely able to stand.
"There's a switch here." Tian Lianfeng saw the switch at the staircase, but pressed it but did not respond.
Yan Gang looked at the severed wire on the switch and said, "It's cut, and the wire must be a tap line." ”
"What do you mean?" Tian Lianfeng asked.
Yan Gang leaned on the edge and walked down: "They must have stayed here for a long time, the lamps used for painting must cost electricity, there is no electricity here for a long time, it must be stealing electricity from other facilities around, but only stealing electricity in one place, people can find out about the electricity bill in a month, so at least steal several, use this today, use that tomorrow, it is not easy to be discovered." ”
Torture finally walked into the huge room below, and then saw that there was another row of windows on the right, and he shone it with a flashlight, and found a row of mirrors diagonally outside the windows, and when the flashlight shone into the mirrors, it was immediately reflected.
The torture probe looked up from the window, and then said: "There should be a mirror on it, using reflection to shine in the daylight, and then use the lamp at night, so that there will be daylight, and the mirror surface of these mirrors is polished, and it can be seen that it wants to simulate natural light." ”
Yan Gang walked around the studio and found that everything was very messy, almost everything was destroyed, the easel was smashed, the stools, chairs, and tables were all smashed, and the hooks that were originally hanging objects around were all smashed down, falling all over the ground, there was not a single pen on the scene, but I saw a lot of oil paints on the ground opposite the window side, but those oil paints seemed to have been carefully wiped off, but they were not erased.
Yan Gang looked around and said, "It seems that they left in a hurry, they fled, and in a panic they took away what they had to take away, and the rest were all destroyed." ”
"Yes, the reflected mirror has also been smashed, but it has not been completely smashed, indicating that they are very panicked, and the oil paint on the ground can actually be wiped off, which can be easily wiped off with vinegar, banana water or paint thinner, but they don't, these all show that the people here are in a hurry, perhaps, they ran away after Ji Dewu's incident." ”
The three of them searched around, but did not find any useful clues, and it seemed that only the brush was left.
Standing in the middle of the studio, he thought carefully, pinched the pen and said: "This pen didn't fall there by accident, it must be something left by one of the painters who was held hostage and coerced, but it was left on the top and was not easy to be found. ”
When Yan Gang heard this, he looked at the torture technique and said, "Of course it's a painting." ”
Tian Lianfeng also nodded: "Yes, it can only be a painting." ”
"Yes, it's a painting, and it's not on a canvas, it's on something that these people can't take away." As he spoke, he pointed around, "Search the ceiling, walls, and floors carefully!" ”
The three of them divided their searches, and after searching for a long time, they found nothing.
Xingshu got up, looked around, and finally fell on the pile of oil paint in the corner, he suddenly thought of something, and immediately stepped forward, and asked Yan Gang and Tian Lianfeng to look at the oil paint on the ground, and looked to the side along the oil paint, and found that there were no traces left by the oil paint on the side.
"The natural light in the studio is usually on the side, so that when you paint, it doesn't affect the line of sight, let alone the sense of color, so this is the place to paint." "They walked in such a hurry, they all wiped off the oil paint that fell around them, why didn't they wipe off this pile of oil paint?" They looked like they were trying to hide something. ”
Yan Gang took out the dagger, and began to carefully wipe off the layer of oil paint that had been dried off, scraping it very carefully, and after a while, he was sweating profusely, and finally after half an hour, after Yan Gang scraped out the layer on the surface, an arrow symbol chiseled out with a tool was revealed on the ground.
"No wonder you have to use oil paint to cover it up, it's not painted, it's chiseled, if it's covered with a wooden board, it's easier to be discovered, so you can only splash it with oil paint to cover it up." ”
Yan Gang looked at the wall directly opposite: "The arrow is pointing at this wall, but there is nothing on the wall. ”
Torturer stepped forward and touched the wall: "It's a wooden plank." As he spoke, he touched the other walls around him again, and found that they were all wooden planks, and then retreated and said: "Something is wrong, even if the house in the northeast has an insulation layer, it will not use this kind of plank, besides, this kind of house with a mix of Chinese and Russian styles also has a fire sealing wall, which is an all-fire brick structure, without a trace of wood in it, and adding wooden planks to the fire sealing wall, and it is so tight, it was impossible in those days!" ”
Yan Gang looked at the torture technique: "Got it, dismantle the plank, right?" ”
"Yes, take your time." Torture said and commanded the two of them to start dismantling the wooden planks from both sides of the arrow, and after dismantling it for a while, they found that there seemed to be paintings and words inside, and when the three of them removed most of the wall facing them, they found the painting inside, and that painting was not any other painting, it was a peerless painting that Torture took out of the wall of the tube building!
Torture looked at the peerless painting that was exactly the same, and was stunned when he looked at the flower on the other side of the painting.
Tian Lianfeng and Yan Gang were also surprised, but they both understood why Ji Dewu was so frightened when he saw the photo of the peerless painting, indicating that their speculation was correct, Ji Dewu had been brought here before with his finger cut, and he had seen this painting on the wall, and he was very impressed, and after that, he himself cut off his finger, so when he saw this painting again, his memory would pop up a lot of pictures from that year, and he was naturally stimulated a lot.
Torture stepped forward and touched the painting, shaking his head constantly.
Tian Lianfeng stepped forward and asked, "Can you identify the time?" ”
"It's hard to identify, I don't have tools, and I'm not very good at drawing." Xingshu shook his head, "But I can see that even if this painting on the wall and that peerless painting are not painted by one person, there is some kind of connection between the two people, and the reason why this person left the painting here is to hope that someone will find out, and it is also possible that this person has some kind of connection with Qimen." ”
Speaking of torture, he took out the phone and called Liao Hongmei.
The phone was connected, Liao Hongmei picked up the phone and said: "She woke up, but she didn't say a word, she should be just a pawn, except for medical knowledge and a regular nurse, she has no skills, maybe she was bought." ”
The torturer responded: "You turn on the phone on speakerphone and put it in front of her." ”
As he spoke, the torture technique was also turned on hands-free, and he looked back at Yan Gang, signaling him to listen carefully and help analyze.
Liao Hongmei turned the phone on speakerphone, brought a stool and put it in front of the nursing nurse, put the phone up, and then stepped aside to watch.
The nursing nurse was tied to a chair by Liao Hongmei, her head hung down, and she said there: "You are illegally detained, I will call the police, I will call the police to arrest you." ”
Xingshu said into the phone: "I remember your surname is Zhang, I still remember that you should have been admitted to the hospital less than two months after Ji Dewu was admitted to the hospital, don't question me, don't lie, my memory is very good, when I am bored, I like to look at the hospital's personnel file the most, that is my family, I treat each of you as family, I will remember the name, appearance, age, and preferences of each of my family members, so I advise you to tell the truth and don't lie." ”
"I don't know what you're talking about, torture, you're in trouble this time." The nurse surnamed Zhang said.
"Nurse Zhang, my dad is a doctor, he will immediately realize that he has been drugged when he wakes up, and he will also look at the surveillance camera, and he will find that you have entered his office, I think even so, you can make up a set of lies, but it doesn't matter, I have found the studio where you imprisoned the painter back then, which is at No. 4 North Erdao Street, that is, the other side of the building, I will poke all this out, call the police, when the police follow the vine and investigate strictly, the people behind you will definitely kill you because they are worried about the incident, or give up on you directly." I know, you have a daughter, 20 years old this year, a college student, a bright future, if something happens to you, what will happen to her? ”
As soon as the torture was finished, the nurse surnamed Zhang yelled excitedly: "How dare you do it to my daughter!" I'll kill you! I'll kill you! I'm going to kill you! ”
The torture was stunned, because he was definitely not threatening her daughter before, so the nurse surnamed Zhang reacted so much, which would only make him realize one thing, that is, this nurse surnamed Zhang had no special ability and background, and had no skills, and the reason why she gave her life to those people was probably because her daughter was threatened by them.
The torture technique made the nurse surnamed Zhang yell there for a long time, and she didn't scold her to shut up, nor did she let Liao Hongmei stop her, but when she finished venting and began to cry in a low voice, she said: "Nurse Zhang, I can help you, and I can also help your daughter get out of trouble, provided that you tell me everything you know." ”
Nurse Zhang slowly shook her head for a long time and said, "Impossible, absolutely impossible, you can't fight them, no one can, they even dare to kill the police." ”
When Nurse Zhang said this, the torture technique was stunned, Tian Lianfeng's eyes widened, Yan Gang frowned and stepped forward, walked up to the torture technique, stared at the phone, and looked at the torture technique.
Torture took a deep breath and asked, "Who are they?" ”
Tian Lianfeng whispered on the side: "Underworld? ”
Seeing that Nurse Zhang didn't answer, Xingshu covered the phone and said, "Don't interject!" There is no triad in Chinese mainland, only gangsters with the nature of the underworld! ”
After a long time, Nurse Zhang, who was panting, spoke: "They say that they are the Jade Casting Society, yes, they are the Jade Casting Society." ”
The torture technique shuddered, and raised his eyes to meet Yan Gang's eyes.
How could it be the Jade Casting Society?
