"Brother, don't get excited, tell me everything you know." I handed the unopened Red Bull in my hand to Brother Muscle, and said soothingly.

Brother Muscle pushed away the Red Bull I handed him and said, "Shi Tao and Xiaoru met during a rock climbing event, and then the two got along. At first, Shi Tao didn't see any vices, he was good to people, he was very dedicated to being a coach, and he had his own business, which could be regarded as a small boss. But then I heard Xiaoru complain to me, saying that Shi Tao is a good gambler, especially a hobby of gambling, and it is said that he wins and loses millions, or even tens of millions. Xiaoru persuaded him many times, but he just didn't listen, you know that this gambler has fallen in, and it is difficult to extricate himself. It is said that Shi Tao lost all his belongings after that. ”

I frowned and listened, thinking about Shi Tao's path to crime, and this good bet was probably the catalyst.

"How did Li Xiaoru die?" I asked.

Brother Muscle shook his head and said, "It was a car accident, just at the beginning of last year, crossing the road on Binjiang Road at night." It was so late, a girl was hit by a car on the road in her pajamas, I guess she quarreled with Shi Tao and ran away in anger, and an accident happened. Did you say that her death was caused by Shi Tao, a bastard? ”

"Do you know who the driver is?"

"It was a private car driver, it was a pure accident."

I nodded, and then I heard cheers from the club, so I followed the voice. I saw a group of people watching around the dart field, cheering loudly from time to time.

"What happened? I'll check it out! Brother Muscle also stood up curiously.

The two of us walked to the dart field together, and it turned out that Tang Zhenguo was performing his stunt, he not only hit the red heart, but also could hit wherever the audience around him pointed.

I wasn't surprised at all that the descendants of the Tang Sect played this little dart, but everyone, including Brother Muscle, was amazed, and Brother Muscle even invited Tang Zhenguo to become the club's darts coach as the boss, saying that he had no problem participating in international competitions with his skills. However, he was politely rejected by Tang Zhenguo.

After leaving the extreme sports club, Tang Zhenguo still looked like a spring breeze. Indeed, he hadn't been so touted for a long time, and as a once dazzling flying knife star, he couldn't forget this feeling. Sometimes, people need this feeling, and this feeling can make people realize the value of existence and the joy of success.

"What have you learned?" Coming back from the joy, Tang Zhenguo still couldn't let go of his curiosity about the case.

As I walked, I said, "Shi Tao's depravity is related to one of his vices. ”

"What vice?"

"Gambling, gambling, losing all his possessions, which is probably why he let his glass factory close suddenly. Because of the loss of a large amount of money, the capital chain of the operating enterprise was broken, and it had to be declared bankrupt. The former glory went into decline in a blink of an eye, and he was unwilling to do so, and finally went to the road of crime. ”

"Then why did he choose the criminal route of stealing paintings?"

I stopped and looked at Tang Zhenguo and said, "That's a good question, why did he choose to steal paintings instead of robbing banks and antiques?" This is also a question I am considering, and from the current situation, it is very likely that the information about the theft of paintings was provided by Lu Qiujun, who is close to him. Now let's follow back to Lu Qiujun's clue to see if we can find some clues from it. ”

We found Lu Qiujun's parents, who were both teachers at the Academy of Fine Arts, and his father was a member of the Chinese Artists Association. It turns out that Lu Qiujun's talent is influenced by genetics and living environment, but it's a pity.

From Lu Qiujun's parents, I learned an important clue, that is, Lu's father once mentioned to Lu Qiujun that the authentic painting of Xu Beihong was collected in Granny Xu's house, and Father Lu also went to Granny Xu's house to observe this painting. And Lu Qiujun also asked Lu's father about the address of Granny Xu's house, saying that he also wanted to see the master's paintings.

It seems that Shi Tao went to steal the famous painting, which was the clue provided by Lu Qiujun.

So now it can be analyzed, whether it is Lu Qiujun killing people and stealing paintings, or Lu Qiujun providing clues to help Shi Tao steal paintings, all of this is to help Shi Tao, so why did Shi Tao brutally kill Lu Qiujun in the end? I really don't know this, I guess only God knows and Shi Tao himself knows.

Spring is getting stronger and stronger, and it has entered April in a blink of an eye, but the spring in Wanzhou does not seem to be able to be described as warm, and it is more appropriate to use the word hot.

"Looks like this summer is hot enough for us." I said while chatting with an old professor on WeChat, dressed in a single coat.

Tang Zhenguo, wearing a black close-fitting vest and brown cotton sports pants, was struggling to hit the wooden stake, sweat spilled all over the ground, and he didn't have time to pay attention to my complaints.

I was talking to the old professor about the recent murder of a painting thief.

"Professor, that's basically the case, but the culprit hasn't been captured yet, but can you analyze why the culprit brutally killed the accomplice who helped him? It's hard to convince me that it's just for the sake of keeping the money to myself. ”

"Little brother, human beings have committed all kinds of crimes, all of which are related to money and hatred. In this homicide case, if you feel that the cannibalism of peers is not for the account, then you can put aside the 'money' point and open up ideas from 'love and hatred'. What do you think? ”

I frowned and thought for a moment, typing on my phone, "I see what you mean." So I'm thinking about this case now with a very gossip way of thinking, and you can help me make a decision. ”

"Hahahaha, the gossip way of thinking is also a good way to detect, otherwise those paparazzi in the entertainment industry will not catch the news of celebrity cheating many times."

"Hehe, that's right."

"Then you can talk about your analysis, I will listen to it, no, I should say that I am respectful."

"Good. Since the dispute over monetary interests is abandoned, I will start from the aspect of love and hatred. First of all, Lu Qiujun has a homosexual tendency, so I assume that Lu Qiujun has an extremely strong love for Shi Tao, to the point of even killing and stealing paintings for him, that is to say, for the distorted love in his heart, for the person he loves. Secondly, Shi Tao is a smart person, he knows Lu Qiujun's intentions, and it can be inferred from Shi Tao's girlfriend that Shi Tao's sexual orientation is no problem. But Shi Tao, who is very deep in the city, wants to use Lu Qiujun's love for him to achieve the criminal purpose of stealing paintings, so he should show Lu Qiujun something. From the discovery of Shi Tao's shoes at Lu Qiujun's house, it can be inferred that Shi Tao at least showed intimate behavior to Lu Qiujun in order to trap Lu Qiujun and make him die for himself. In the end, when all the criminal goals are achieved, Shi Tao, a man who is psychologically and physically normal, will definitely abandon Lu Qiujun, an outlier, in this case, getting rid of Lu Qiujun is obviously the best way. It is estimated that before all criminal actions began, Shi Tao had already planned to get rid of Lu Qiujun in the end. Do you think this analysis is possible? ”

"It's possible, but we can't ignore Lu Qiujun's influence on Shi Tao in the meantime. Because Shi Tao had no motive to kill before the series of crimes, he was just asking for money. It is likely that in contact with Lu Qiujun, he was affected by Lu Qiujun's strange thinking, or was threatened by Lu Qiujun, so that he killed people impulsively. Lu Qiujun's death can be premeditated by Shi Tao as you said, or it may be Shi Tao's impulsive murder. The final conclusion of this is estimated to be finalized only after Shi Tao is captured. ”

I nodded, chatted with the professor for a while, and fell asleep in a daze under the rhythmic beating of Tang Zhenguo.

The legal net was restored, and Shi Tao was finally arrested in a joint operation between the two places. When Shi Tao was discovered, he was hiding in a rented house in Yichang, with a scruffy beard, unkempt hair, and a lot of weight loss.

They were caught, but the two famous paintings were missing, and I was there to listen when I was escorted back to Wanzhou for interrogation.

Shi Tao confessed that he was just seeking money at first, and he never thought of killing people. He lost all his family property because of gambling, and after a big quarrel with his girlfriend, his girlfriend got angry and rushed out of the door, who knew that there was a car accident, and yin and yang were separated.

Shi Tao was depressed when he was empty of people and money, and often went to bars to drink and get drunk, during which he met Lu Qiujun. Lu Qiujun is talented, youthful, and eloquent, and soon became Shi Tao's drinking friend who talks about everything. After a big drunkenness, Shi Tao and Lu Qiujun had an improper relationship. Afterwards, Shi Tao regretted it and didn't plan to stop associating with Lu Qiujun, but Lu Qiujun stalked and finally used to pay off Shi Tao's debts and persuaded Shi Tao.

Subsequently, Lu Qiujun paid the full amount to buy Room 2106 in the Beibin Road Community in the name of Shi Tao, and planned the movie-style theft method for him.

Lu Qiujun murdered Cao Weihu, Shi Tao only learned afterwards that according to Shi Tao, Lu Qiujun killed Cao Weihu to get rid of the improper relationship with Cao Weihu. Lu Qiujun told Shi Tao the details of killing Cao Weihu, Shi Tao was very shocked at the time, and he couldn't forget Lu Qiujun's weird and perverse crazy smile.

When the two paintings arrived, Lu Qiujun contacted the buyer and agreed to meet in Yichang, Hubei Province, and the buyer would send a car to pick them up at the junction of Wanzhou and Lichuan.

However, just before leaving for Hubei, Shi Tao had an argument with Lu Qiujun, because Lu Qiujun demanded that Shi Tao flee to the United States with him after selling the painting, and asked to register as a legal same-sex couple in the United States. Shi Tao couldn't accept it, the contradiction escalated, the two scuffled, Shi Tao killed Lu Qiujun in a fit of anger, and burned the corpse, disguised as a spirit fox to kill people, in a vain attempt to connect with Cao Weihu's death and confuse the public.

The famous painting was finally sold in Yichang, Hubei Province, with a turnover of only 5 million yuan. However, the buyer promised Shi Tao that after the famous paintings were auctioned overseas, they would be given appropriate rebates according to the size of the auction amount. With no way out at this time, Shi Tao was forced to accept the buyer's terms, so he hid in Yichang and waited for the auction of the famous painting, and the manpower arranged by the buyer provided him with food.

Shi Tao could not provide the portrait and address of the buyer because they were wearing masks and sunglasses, and the transaction took place in a moving car.

At the end of the confession, there was one thing that caught my attention. In the description of the painting buying gang, the only thing Shi Tao knows is the person who delivered the food for him, with a tattoo on his wrist and a devil spreading his wings, drawing three 6s.

After the interrogation, Shi Tao confessed to the location of the killing and burning of Lu Qiujun, and went to the scene to identify him.

Although the criminals were caught, the whereabouts of the two famous paintings were unknown, and the police searched for the whereabouts of the famous paintings through the global database of auctioned artworks and stolen artworks, but found nothing. It seems that the buyer had no intention of auctioning the two famous paintings at this time.

I consulted Lao Lu, how did the police find out Shi Tao's whereabouts? The answer, as I expected, was reported anonymously. Why was it expected for me? Because the tattoo that symbolizes the devil reappeared in this case, the buyer is likely to be a demon tattoo criminal group, and Shi Tao, who has lost his use value, is not killed by them, which is already a blessing in misfortune.
