Chapter 40: The Truth I Don't Dare to Know

There was silence in the meeting room, and the torturer continued to narrate the truth of the matter summarized by the information he had obtained from all sidesβ€”

Since then, Qi Baye has often gone to the orphanage, because he is engaged in calligraphy and painting business, and naturally pays attention to the children in the school who like to paint and are talented, and proposes to build a studio to cultivate the interest of these children, he thinks that often the more flawed these children on the surface, the greater the hidden talent. し

Ji Dewu, Xia Jiezhu, and Pan Feng were quickly excavated, but the good times did not last long, and the orphanage began to be short of funds, because there were more and more children, and the orphanage and special schools were not profit-making, so the money could not come in and out. Ding Wei's business is getting worse and worse, no matter how good Qi Baye's business is, he can't afford to support so many people, and the funds of the Civil Affairs Bureau are also limited, because there are more orphanages and special schools.

Qi Baye felt that it was an excellent way to do a braille painting business and package these children's paintings for sale in the name of charity. Ding Wei also thought it was a good idea, so he inquired around, and a Russian who had had business dealings with him showed interest, Ding Wei thought that if he could really take these children's paintings out of the country, it would be good for both the children themselves and the orphanage, so he began to contact the other party, but the other party took him to meet the Russian mafia......

"Judging from the news from the Russian side, the mafia has a plan for a long time, so they didn't say a word at first, spent money to buy the children's first batch of paintings, that is, a batch of imitations of a low level, and asked Ding Wei to sign a contract full of traps." Xingshu looked at Ding Wei and said, "At that time, Ding Wei didn't realize it, he only knew that he had the money to continue to maintain the operation of the orphanage, and he didn't find out that it was a set, and later, the Russian side took the contract to blackmail Ding Wei, and then Ding Wei found out that he was deceived, but according to the contract, he must compensate a large amount of liquidated damages." ”

As he spoke, Fu Mingwei took out a photocopy of the contract in Russian: "You are not proficient in Russian, but you would be stupid enough to sign such a thing?" The liquidated damages are 8 million rubles, about 800,000 yuan, but the contract has legal effect, they really want to sue you, you are finished, and the company that signed the contract with you is innocent on the surface, and if there is no evidence, it is impossible to find out that they have a connection with the mafia. ”

Ding Wei nodded: "I have no choice but to accept the conditions offered by the other party, that is, to forge famous paintings, but I don't have the relevant technology, although the other party can provide it, but the danger is too great, so I can only find the eighth master, at the same time, I didn't tell Yulan, I'm afraid she will worry." ”

Wang Yulan just sat there sluggishly, unresponsive to Ding Wei's words, for her, everything was like a nightmare.

Qi Baye continued Ding Wei's words: "I am doing calligraphy and painting trading, and I know that I am forging and doing old, so to speak, I have done similar things, but I dare not make it bigger, and in terms of oil painting, I am not too proficient, but the Russians have passed relevant information, Ji Dewu and Xia Jiezhu actually understood at a glance, and expressed their willingness to help the orphanage, even if it is illegal, it doesn't matter, so I found the safest place, that is, the basement of the peerless building......"

At this time, the torture technique immediately asked: "Eighth Master, I don't understand, how did you find the basement below the peerless building?" ”

Qi Baye raised his eyes and looked at the torture technique: "I know that it is because of a painting, do you know the peerless painting?" ”

Xingshu was shocked in his heart, and the corner of his eye subconsciously glanced at Fu Mingwei next to him, and he found that Fu Mingwei closed his eyes again, as if he was not interested in this matter.

The torture had to shake his head and lie that he didn't know, and Qi Baye said again: "In the early years, there was a famous painter named Chen Wenjing, and the peerless painting was his masterpiece, but few people knew it, unless it was those who were obsessed with Chinese painting, and I was one of them." ”

The torture technique was even more dumbfounded when he heard it at this time, because Chen Wenjing was his own ancestor, the father of Tian Lianfeng's grandmother, and the senior brother of Chen Daxu, the author of the peerless painting imitation in his hand.

Torture nodded: "I...... I've heard about it. ”

"I don't know if he can't do this, legend has it that when he painted that painting, he hid in the peerless building to do it, because during the Cultural Revolution he was criticized and persecuted, and he hid there after escaping, but in the end he also died in the Cultural Revolution, that was his last painting, the peerless building peerless painting, deliberately wanted to isolate from the world. After I got the painting, I went to the peerless building, and I wanted to know what kind of environment the painter could paint in such a fine way, and finally I found the basement, so I gave the place to Ji Dewu and the others, and transformed it. Qi Baye recounted calmly.

At this time, the torture finally understood, why did he see the peerless painting in the basement of the peerless building, it should be a draft of Chen Wenjing, or the peerless painting he first drawn, but who was the person who blocked the peerless painting? It's definitely not Pan Feng and them, is it Xuan Tong? Why did she do this?

He didn't dare to think about it further, because he had to settle the matter in front of him first.

In the basement studio of the peerless building provided by Qi Baye, Ji Dewu and Xia Jiezhu made the first batch of high-imitation oil paintings, and then led by Ding Wei to Russia......

But when the torture technique finished narrating the incident, Qi Baye stared at him dumbfounded, and asked, "What did you say?" ”

Torture was shocked: "You don't know? ”

Qi Baye slowly turned his head to look at Ding Wei: "What he said is true?" ”

Ding Wei nodded silently, Qi Baye pounced over, and Wang Yulan lay on the table holding her head and gritting her teeth without saying a word.

Fu Mingwei immediately got up and walked to the door, looking at the prison guards who had already opened the door and were about to rush in: "We can control it, so we won't trouble you." ”

The leading prison guard frowned and said, "Team Fu, don't embarrass us. ”

"Understood, thanks." Fu Mingwei nodded, looked back slightly at the torture technique behind him, hugged Qi Baye hard, and then slowly closed the door, and the prison guards outside the door looked embarrassed, looking at each other and shaking their heads.

The torture technique dragged Qi Baye to the side, and Qi Baye cried there: "Jiezhu...... Jiezhu is still a child, you brute, why don't you protect her? You bastard, you're not human......" Qi Baye cried for a while, and hit his head against the wall again, "I only know now what Pan Feng went to find Ji Dewu for, I only know now!" ”

Then, there was a cry in the meeting room, Qi Baye cried loudly against the wall, Wang Yulan covered her mouth and lay there, while Ding Wei sat there blankly, tears rolling out of his eyes, and then soaked into the gauze and bandages on his face.

An hour later, Xingshu saw Pan Feng in the same place, and he deliberately asked people to remove the wall clock on the wall, because he was worried that Pan Feng would think of other things when he saw the time, which would lead to hurting himself, after all, he was a patient. Although in terms of legal evaluation, it is believed that his illness is not the main reason for his crime, so he should bear all legal responsibility.

After Pan Feng sat down, the first thing he said when he looked at the torture technique was: "Thank you." ”

At this time, Fu Mingwei, who was originally sitting, got up and left, without saying a word, opened the door and walked out, standing at the door, standing there like a door god, and the other prison guards outside the door subconsciously moved their positions and kept a certain distance from him.

"The Ji Dewu incident is the beginning of your case, but you didn't want to kidnap him, but to ask him about what happened that night, you think he is guilty, he didn't protect Xia Jiezhu well, and he should be punished, but Ji Dewu cut off his ten fingers when you couldn't really do it, because he was ashamed in his heart and had been living in torment. But what you didn't expect was that Ji Dewu didn't tell the truth, but lied to the police that someone was looking for him to make a fake painting, and he didn't comply, so he was forced to cut off his ten fingers, and he also deliberately blurred the appearance of the four of you, in fact, his purpose was to hope that the police would track down the orphanage in the direction of making fake paintings, but unfortunately there were too few clues, and then he was really crazy, and the case became an unsolved case. Xingshu shook his head and said, "But these things happened after Xia Jiezhu's death, that night, after you and Qi Baye dealt with Xia Jiezhu's body, you left with her corpse and brought it back to the peerless building, although you didn't participate in the production of fake paintings, but you knew that location from Qi Baye, you think it is a suitable place to hide the corpse, after that kind of thing happened, Ding Wei will not go again, Xia Jiezhu is dead, Ji Dewu is crazy, and that place has no meaning to exist." ”

Xingshu took a deep breath and waited, while Pan Feng just nodded, and Xingshu said: "That night, in the basement, you met Xuan Tong, facing a stranger, a mysterious person, you didn't have the vigilance of the past, and Xuan Tong also used your own way to gain your trust, because both of you are people who want revenge, not to mention, at that time, Xuan Tong was still helping him, who this person is, maybe you know, maybe you don't know, but in the case, he only played an insignificant role." ”

At that time, Xuan Tong, because of Fan Junyi's recommendation, was thinking about how to drag the torture technique into his plan, and Pan Feng's appearance let him know that there was hope. But at that time, an accident happened, Pan Feng found Ji Dewu, and Ji Dewu also cut off his ten fingers, which made things complicated, Xuan Tong knew that he had to be saved, otherwise things would become more troublesome, and at the same time, Pan Feng, who was still working at Qi Baye, met Zhang Shuyun, the daughter of Nurse Zhang, who often came to the antique city to help set up a stall in the antique city, Zhang Shuyun has the same painting skills as Xia Jiezhu, and it is not too much to say that he is a genius.

After learning that Zhang Shuyun's mother was a nurse, Xuan Tong knew that he could use it, so he asked Pan Feng to find Qi Baye, and on the grounds that he wanted to save his mistakes, he set up a bureau with Qi Baye, and let Nurse Zhang enter the trap and be at their mercy.

"Qi Baye didn't know the existence of Xuan Tong, but he knew that Ji De had broken ten fingers, and he was forced to give a set to Nurse Zhang for you, and this set under Xuan Tong was on the one hand to make up for the mistakes you made, and on the other hand, it was to set up a bureau to drag me in. Xingshu looked at Pan Feng and said, "There is no doubt that Ma Fei told you that I have a peerless painting in my hand, as for how you and Ma Fei met, I don't know, but I am sure that you told Xuan Tong what Ma Fei said, and Xuan Tong also knew the peerless painting in the basement, strictly speaking, he may know more about that painting than I do, and he also knows that Ji Dewu also knows that the painting is in the basement, he took a gamble, betting that I might find Ji Dewu as a genius in order to investigate the painting, so, He used a certain way to deepen Ji Dewu's impression of that painting, in what way, can you tell me? ”

Pan Feng slowly raised his eyes and said: "The woman who claimed to be Ma Fei didn't find me, but found a benefactor below, without her help, our plan would not have been so smooth, including letting you chase under the subway, you are right, it is indeed because of her that we can improve the most important part of the plan and pull you into the game, and Ji Dewu has an impression of the peerless painting, it is entirely because we did two things, one is to pretend to be a kidnapper to get Nurse Zhang to the basement, and tell you the accurate point through Nurse Zhang's mouth." Second, use Nurse Zhang, who can approach Ji Dewu at any time, to deepen his impression of the peerless painting and let him see the photos of the peerless painting. ”

Xingshu nodded: "Everything Nurse Zhang did was in your arrangement, it was a purposeful thing, but she didn't know it herself, and I didn't know either, just like that, I walked into the bureau you set up, and tracked it down in the direction you set, from here, the whole plan really began, and before that, among all the people you described what you encountered, Xuan Tong chose Yang Haibo, a substitute for the dead, Yang Haibo is a drug dealer, when you use him, you want to kill him, Because you think that kind of thing happened to Xia Jiezhu back then, it was completely because of the trouble caused by drugs, so you dragged Yang Haibo into the game, controlled him, made him think that he could make a fortune, and pretended to be a killed policeman, the killed policeman that Nurse Zhang said was played by Yang Haibo, but I don't understand, how can you control Yang Haibo? ”

"Drugs, real drugs, not soft drugs." Pan Feng said with a smile, "The benefactor gave me a lot of precious jade, and after I sold it, I had money to buy drugs, which I used to control Yang Haibo, exchange identities with him, and let the outside world think that he was me." ”

Torture nodded: "I see, let's continue...... On the night that Nurse Zhang was exposed, there was a problem with the plan, you originally planned to lead me directly to the Peerless Building, but I didn't expect that the first thing I noticed was Qi Baye, and Qi Baye knew that I might have found something, so he did such a lame play, which caused the plan to change, and you had to immediately burn down the Peerless Building under Xuan Tong's instructions, so that the police and I could devote all our attention to the Peerless Building, Xuan Tong's plan was very clever, let you deliberately walk around under the surveillance head, the police are not stupid, they will understand, Your purpose is not to let them pay attention to you, in fact, your purpose is to let everyone know that it is you who should not be paying attention, but the peerless building. ”

Pan Feng continued to nod, and the torture technique said: "Because the theft of the Rulai Eye has happened at that time, the four major leaders of the Jade Casting Society have no clue, Fan Jun is waiting for an opportunity, waiting for He Chenxue to recommend me to them, and then he can also add a little more effort, because he has known me for a long time, the Peerless Building has been burned down, and the Jade Casting Society will be in a hurry to investigate, and I am equivalent to getting their authorization, this is the purpose of Xuan Tong and Fan Junyi, and the second purpose is to let the police see the four corpses in the basement of the Peerless Building, Index the line to the orphanage, because you know very well that once a few of you go missing, Wang Yulan will definitely report the crime, and the police will follow this clue to investigate the orphanage, and finally reach the point of investigating the fake painting, but why did you kill your three best friends? ”

"They have chosen for themselves, and they will atone for their sins." Pan Feng said lightly, "Believe it or not, I'm just stating the facts, of course, I won't say this to the police, I told the police that I killed them, that was an agreement between us." ”

The torture was puzzled: "Promise? ”

"The main reason why they want to atone for their sins is because they didn't know it, after finding out that she was dead, they immediately notified Ding Wei, if they didn't notify Ding Wei, Ding Wei didn't come, we will call the police according to the instructions of the eighth master, once the police are called, the police will follow the vine to find out about the oil painting, but Ding Wei came, Ding Wei suggested not to call the police, and the unaware eighth master agreed for the orphanage, so they decided to use their lives to save this mistake, and used the corpse to lead the police to the orphanage, Because we who did not participate in the falsification of oil paintings, it would only be counterproductive to report the crime without direct evidence. Pan Feng said calmly, "Of course, there is a second purpose, and that is to hope for ......."

Seeing Pan Feng pause, the torturer immediately asked, "What do you want?" ”

Pan Feng's eyes were raised, and he said with a smile: "Mr. Xing, you know that we are outcasts, right?" Children who have been abandoned by their biological parents. Wang Litian: Before they died, they told me that if their bodies were found after they died, they would definitely be published in the newspaper or there would be news on the Internet, and if their biological parents saw it, they might come to claim it. ”

Torture subconsciously got up: "How can you have such a stupid idea!?" ”

After speaking, the torture technique realized that he was not right, but Pan Feng still smiled.

"Because...... Because when we live, we are flawed children, incomplete children, drag oil bottles, burdens, but we don't make it ourselves, right? We don't want to, so when we die, it won't be so troublesome, and at that time, maybe our biological parents will see it, they will check it, collect the ashes or something, and we will not cause trouble to them, so we may be able to return to our parents again. Pan Feng looked out the window with a smile, "Actually, I know that it's all our wishful thinking, just like when I was a child, several of us looked at the door of the orphanage from the window every day, fantasizing, maybe suddenly Mom and Dad appeared and took us home happily." ”

As he spoke, Pan Feng raised his handcuffed hand and raised a finger: "Even if it's only one day, no, only one night, it's good to be able to sleep in the middle of Mom and Dad, right?" ”

The torture was speechless, and at this time, he understood why the police found out that Wang Litian and others deliberately let themselves be burned to death in such pain before the effect of the medicine was produced, it was their own choice, they wanted to atone for their crimes, and they felt that it was the punishment they should accept.

Of course, there may be other reasons, but the torture technique does not want to know, and does not dare to know.
