Chapter 039: Rabbit
Xu Jingjia has been staying at home for a long time, so how does she spend her time?
Thinking like this, Fu Liangtao's eyes began to wander around different corners of the living room.
The layout of the living room of the Hui family is somewhat different from the layout of ordinary families in Hong Kong. Through the layout of the Xu family, it is not difficult to see that the living room is the main activity space of their family. They put the TV and computer in the living room, thinking that it was probably because Xu Jingjia's parents attached importance to communication.
Fu Liangtao walked around the living room and did not see the dining table or low machine, but there were three desks next to the door and against the wall near the window. At first glance, these three locations look a bit like workspaces in a multi-person office, with only the desk closest to the door having no computer.
Fu Liangtao's gaze was first fixed on the two desktop computers placed on the desks in the two corners of the living room. However, when he thought of the billing records of the Internet service provider, Fu Liangtao immediately denied the possibility of Xu Jingjia using a computer to kill time.
Fu Liangtao then strode towards the large bookcase against the wall and carefully examined the books in it. I saw a variety of books in the bookcase, some of which were novels, picture books, and religious books, as well as books on criminal psychology and computer technology that Fu Liangtao was familiar with.
This discovery made Fu Liangtao pull out the books from the bookcase and look through them one by one, hoping to find useful information from them. However, in vain. Compared to other books, those related to computer technology are brand new, and apparently no one has read them. The content also does not appear to be related to the technology used in the case.
What Fu Liangtao didn't expect was that the lower middle and lower floors of the bookcase were all books related to painting skills, and there were all kinds of different paintings, which were very complete.
Fu Liangtao then asked, "You paint?"
Although there were many people in the living room, everyone knew that Fu Liangtao's conversation partner at the moment could only be one person.
Since Fu Liangtao's questioning ended, Xu Jingjia was concentrating on observing the evidence collection work of Qin Xiangwen, Luo Mengning and others, and was slightly stunned when she heard Fu Liangtao's questioning, and turned to look at Fu Liangtao. After a while, Xu Jingjia replied with a calm "um".
At the same time, Fu Liangtao saw a thick file sleeve in the bookcase. Fu Liangtao guessed that it should be Xu Jingjia's paintings. So, Fu Liangtao took out the file sleeve from it without saying a word.
Fu Liangtao had just taken the heavy file cover in his hand when he heard Brother Cong behind him shout, "What are you doing?"
As Brother Cong's words fell, the living room was quiet, and everyone's eyes were focused on Xu Jingjia. Fu Liangtao saw that Xu Jingjia had walked behind him at some point, his expression was uncertain, and An Zhiruo Su just now had already disappeared without a trace.
Fu Liangtao's eyes narrowed, ignoring Xu Jingjia, who wanted to speak and stopped, turned around and pulled the folder out of the protective case, and quickly flipped through the paintings in it. And although Xu Jingjia looked different, she did not stop Fu Liangtao's movements.
For painting, Fu Liangtao is a layman who doesn't know what is good and bad. However, Fu Liangtao could see that these paintings had nothing to do with the cases of Li Bingde and Zhou Muqing. Since most of Xu Jingjia's paintings are realistic in style, the people and things depicted are clear at a glance, so Fu Liangtao does not have to bother to understand the message in the painting.
Fu Liangtao checked the plastic bags in the folder one by one, but found that the reason why the folder was so heavy was not because there was anything hidden in it, but simply because most of the drawing paper used by Xu Jingjia had a certain thickness.
Fu Liangtao knew that Xu Jingjia was still standing behind him inch by inch, and this realization made Fu Liangtao never give up looking at the paintings in it.
It wasn't until Fu Liangtao turned to the middle that a painting with a completely different style from other paintings came into view.
It is a painting in pure black and white, with a real rabbit in the center, but the background is more abstract. The rabbit's dark eyes give people an inexplicable sense of mystery, which has always attracted Fu Liangtao's attention, so that Fu Liangtao's eyes have not been removed for a long time.
Seeing this, Xu Jingjia walked to Fu Liangtao's side and asked, "Fu sir, there is nothing wrong with this folder, right?" You don't have to detain it, do you?"
Xu Jingjia's voice seemed to cut off the gravitational pull of the painting all of a sudden, making Fu Liangtao come back to his senses suddenly. When Fu Liangtao looked at Xu Jingjia again, Xu Jingjia's face had long since lost the uneasiness just now, and Fu Liangtao could no longer see anything unusual from it.
Fu Liangtao replied, "Uh...... No need to ......" After a pause, Fu Liangtao said again: "In this painting, I mean the rabbit...... It's a pretty good painting......" As he spoke, Fu Liangtao glanced at the date of the painting's payment, which was October 2017.
When Xu Jingjia heard this, she responded, "I know." The tone sounded completely emotionless. With that, Xu Jingjia skillfully put the folder back into the protective case, took it on her body again, and turned around and walked towards the sofa.
Fu Liangtao looked at Xu Jingjia's back, and only felt that Xu Jingjia seemed to take his praise for granted. At this time, even if Fu Liangtao didn't look at Pang Jitong, he knew that Pang Jitong would definitely pout disdainfully for this reason.
The forensic work is proceeding in an orderly manner. Through the wireless network in the house, Luo Mengning and Qin Xiangwen quickly found all the digital devices in the house and made mirror files for them.
Xu Jingjia's reaction fluctuated slightly during that episode, and her reaction was always calm, just like Fu Liangtao did when he first saw her. Even her mother was flustered because of Fu Liangtao's intrusion, but Xu Jingjia relaxed the moment she looked at Fu Liangtao.
Fu Liangtao is really curious, what is Xu Jingjia thinking?
Is it because Xu Ningzhi had reported to her in time before they arrived? Or was she so sure she was skilled enough to leave no trace, confident that they wouldn't find evidence against her?
If this is the case, where does Xu Jingjia's self-confidence come from?
Fu Liangtao's eyes inadvertently saw Granny Zhang, who had been looking outside the door, and suddenly felt that this gaze was annoying, so he conveniently covered the door of the Xu family, completely isolating Granny Zhang's sight from the gate.
