149, Autumn Peony (3)

I don't want them to see Rick first, it's Finch the painter.

"Where's Rick?" Theresa was the closest, so she asked first.

Dressed in casual clothes, Finch glanced at everyone casually, then set his eyes on Theresa, and said to Theresa with a provocative look: "Don't you even ask if you meet?" ”

"Where is he?" Theresa didn't want to talk to Finch, raised her eyebrows, and asked coldly.

"Well, I know," Finch pouted, frustrated by Theresa's incomprehension, and pulled her eyelids down, and said to Theresa as she placed the cardboard box in her hand on the makeshift table, "You didn't say goodbye the last time you left!" Finch packed a painting into a cardboard box, and before Theresa could ask again, she shouted to the storage room, "Rick! After shouting, he walked away with the cardboard box containing the painting as if nothing happened, and Lei Yan and the others were dumbfounded, and they all felt that the so-called artists were really some strangers.

After a while, the gallery owner Rick came out of the storage room behind the drawing board, and he didn't expect anything to happen, and asked politely, "How can I help you?" ”

"You're Maggie's high school classmate?" Lei Yan smiled, feeling that this guy was well disguised, glanced at the commissioner, and said to Rick.

"That's right," Rick looked at so many people, staring at him, feeling that the atmosphere was a little different, put away the professional politeness on his face, and said, "Four out of five of my high school classmates are gone, I'm lucky that we are all still there, and besides, we can still meet." ”

"You gave Maggie a collage, didn't you?" The commissioner coughed, went straight to the point, and asked Rick.

"What?" Rick asked with a frown, not knowing if he didn't understand, or didn't know, or pretended to be confused.

The commissioner was so angry that he wanted to pounce on him, beat Rick, and then handcuffed him and took him away to the prison or something.

"At Maggie's house, on the wall facing the pool, above the couch," Lei Yan grabbed the commissioner and said to Rick in detail, "There is a two-meter-long painting, a collage, that she said you gave her. ”

"So what?" For some reason, Rick didn't panic at all, glanced at the somewhat impulsive commissioner, folded his arms guardedly, and asked.

"There's a picture of you up there," "Butt Spirit" reminded Rick.

"Hah, I remember," Rick said with a nonchalant look on his face, smiling, "I didn't make that inexplicable thing. ”

"So, you, you're just," Lei Yan asked Rick with a frown, "You just coincidentally, or casually, gave Maggie one," Lei Yan stared at Rick and continued, "The paintings full of her life?" The commissioner wanted to go up and clean up Rick again, but Lei Yan grabbed him again.

"No...... That's not the case," Rick vaguely sensed the seriousness of the matter, and hurriedly stammered and shook his head at Lei Yan in denial.

"If you want to say anything, it's better to say it now?" The chief glanced at Hale and said a little unceremoniously.

"Okay," Rick looked at Lei Yan and the others, as if he was looking at them if they were unreliable, but he immediately realized that they had to say whether they were unreliable or not, so he smiled helplessly, "Okay, I lied to Maggie." ”

"What lie?" "Fart" asked impatiently.

"I just want Maggie to like me," Rick shrugged his shoulders and said to Lei Yan and the others, "Is it because she's an art enthusiast," Rick explained with a pout, looking at the crowd, "I was thinking that if I had a celebrity come to my gallery often, my business would be much better." ”

"What the hell are you lying," the commissioner asked, not understanding, "Tell me the truth!" ”

"Someone gave me that collage and told me to give it to Maggie," Rick sighed and confessed to the crowd, "and then I lied to Maggie that I had given it to me, that it had taken a lot of effort to find it, and that I thought she would appreciate it even more." ”

"And who told you to give it to Maggie?" Theresa asked Rick, who, like everyone else, felt that the case had become confusing again.

"She's Jimmy," Rick recalled, "she said she was Maggie's staff, Maggie's college classmate, some kind of co-producer, assistant director, or whatever," Rick pouted, "she's pretty annoying, and she's going to make sure Maggie actually got the painting." ”

"Jimmy," Lei Yan struggled to remember, frowning and turning to "Fart", "I seem to have heard of this name somewhere." ”

"She's Maggie's personal assistant," "Fart" swallowed and said to Lei Yan, "I used to be a decathlon athlete, and I was known as the most energetic staff member in the whole crew. Hearing that everyone's minds here were as if they had been struck by lightning, Lei Yan and the others realized at the same time that they had made a fatal mistake.

"She didn't want Maggie to know that she sent it," Rick looked at Lei Yan and the others who turned around and walked towards the door, and continued, "She said, let me tell Maggie that it was sent by some admirer, but I said I sent it. ”

It's best not to lie next time, you know, Hale walked last, and pointed at Rick and warned, I almost shot you just now, and then walked out with the group, Rurick stood in place dumbfounded......

"The murderer is Maggie's personal assistant, we are rushing to you," got into the police car, Lei Yan immediately called Maggie's house, and the person who answered the phone happened to be "Skeleton", Lei Yan told "Skeleton" to be careful, saying that they were rushing to Maggie's house, and the police were also going there.

"Maggie, do you know a guy named Jimmy?" "Skeleton" put down the phone and asked Maggie, who was eating fruit next to him.

"Jimmy? Of course we know, we're college classmates, we've known each other for years," Maggie put down the watermelon on the toothpick, smiled nicely at the "skeleton", and said, "Luckily, she also survived, I got her a job on the set, what's wrong?" As she spoke, Maggie's cell phone rang.

"Who called?" "Skeleton" asked Maggie nervously.

"Jimmy," Maggie said to "Skeleton", glancing at the display on her phone.

"Calling from your phone?" "Skeleton" asked, swallowing.

"Yes," Maggie didn't know why "Skeleton" cared so much about a phone call, and watched the non-stop phone call not answer immediately.

"We suspect that she is the murderer now," "Skeleton" originally wanted to say that Jimmy was the murderer, but when he saw that Maggie and Jimmy's relationship was extraordinary, Yu frowned and changed his words.

"What? Ma-Ji thought she had misheard and asked in surprise.

"Jimmy is the stalker of the Ether," "Skeleton" explained to Maggie with a split of his hands.

"Impossible," Maggie said, glancing at her phone and shaking her head.

"Answer the phone," "Skeleton" looks at Maggie's phone worriedly, reminding, "If you don't answer for too long, Jimmy will be suspicious." ”

"It's ridiculous," Maggie still doesn't believe......
