Chapter 146: Lan Ruotu
Not long after, a middle-aged woman in her fifties with gray hair took a taxi and arrived.
"Aunt Wang."
Seeing this woman, Liao Qingjiang walked towards her as soon as possible, and his red eyes finally burst into tears: "Aunt Wang, what the hell is going on?" ”
Later, I learned that this Aunt Wang was an aunt invited by Liao Qingjiang's family, who specially helped Liao Qingjiang's family do some housework or cook and laundry.
Aunt Wang is from the countryside, so she lives in Liao Qingjiang's house on weekdays, and has been working in his house for several years, and her relationship with Liao Qingjiang has always been very harmonious, and this time Liao Qingjiang's parents disappeared, which was reported by Aunt Wang.
Aunt Wang's face also looked a little sad, and after the meeting, our group came to Liao Qingjiang's house.
Aunt Wang poured us a glass of water, then sat down at the coffee table in the living room and told us the ins and outs of this whole thing.
It turned out that the night before yesterday, Liao Qingjiang's parents returned home very late because they were attending a banquet, and after they returned, Liao Qingjiang's father told Aunt Wang that they had a very important contract to sign the next day, and they were worried that they would not be able to get up the next day, so they must wake them up before 7 o'clock in the morning.
Aunt Wang is in her fifties, and she is already one foot in the ranks of the elderly, so she gets up early every morning, so she agrees.
Early the next morning, Aunt Wang knocked on the door of Liao Qingjiang's parents' room at six o'clock, but there was no response from inside.
At first, Aunt Wang thought that the other party was too tired from work, so she slept a little dead, but she didn't care, and knocked again after a while, but there was still no response.
Until seven o'clock, Aunt Wang had knocked on the door of the house four or five times, but there was still no answer inside, so Aunt Wang felt strange and began to call Liao Qingjiang's parents.
At this time, Aunt Wang was frightened, thinking that something might have happened to Liao Qingjiang's parents, so she went to find a spare key and opened the door, but after the door was opened, she found that there was no trace of Liao Qingjiang's parents inside.
Everything seemed very weird, their phones and bags were still there, and even the clothes they were going to wear to meet customers that day.
Not only that, the windows are closed, the door is locked, even the quilt on the bed is not folded, Liao Qingjiang's parents are very particular people, it is impossible for them not to fold the quilt when they get up.
All signs show that his parents left as if they suddenly encountered something urgent in the middle of the night, and they didn't even have time to change their clothes, wallets and mobile phones, but if they left, the windows and doors would not be able to be locked.
Although it was very strange, Aunt Wang didn't think too much about it at the time, but at about eight o'clock, Aunt Wang heard Liao Qingjiang's father's mobile phone ringing all the time, and it was an assistant from their company.
After Aunt Wang answered the phone, she asked her where Mr. Liao went, and the customers here had been waiting for a long time, but why Mr. Liao had not come.
At this time, Aunt Wang also felt that something was wrong, and after explaining the situation to the assistant over there, they began to look around for Liao Qingjiang's parents, during which Aunt Wang also called Liao Qingjiang, but at that time, Liao Qingjiang was overwhelmed by Luoxian's affairs, and he didn't care too much about this kind of thing, after all, his parents were such a big person, Aunt Wang just said that she couldn't get in touch, and she didn't say that she was missing, and he didn't expect this kind of thing to happen.
Until yesterday afternoon, Aunt Wang and the others still did not get any news about Liao Qingjiang's parents, so they called the police.
When Aunt Wang talked about the matter here, I also roughly sorted out the ins and outs, so to speak, Liao Qingjiang's parents disappeared mysteriously the night before yesterday, and they disappeared in their room.
I looked at Officer Peng over there and asked, "Why do you associate this case with a serial murder case that has not been solved for more than ten years?" ”
"Because of a painting." Officer Peng said.
"What painting?" My interest was piqued all at once.
"Lan Ruotu." Liao Qingjiang on the side replied: "Half a month ago, my father bought a "Lan Ruotu" at an auction. ”
"Xishan Lanruotu"?" I asked, "The one painted by Song Juran, a painter of the Song Dynasty?" ”
"It's not." Liao Qingjiang replied: "That painting is still in the collection of the Cleveland Museum in the United States, and it is impossible to put it up for auction." ”
"That's?"
"It is a work created by Mr. Chen Zuyi, a Hong Kong Island painter, in the 2,000 years, based on the background of "Xishan Lanruotu" and the classic Hong Kong film "A Chinese Ghost Story" as the material, Mr. Chen Zuyi is a loyal lover of "A Chinese Ghost Story", and the purpose of painting this painting at that time was to commemorate the 10th anniversary of "A Chinese Ghost Story", and this painting became Mr. Chen Zuyi's masterpiece after completion."
"Dead?" I was shocked.
"Disappearance, to be exact, just like the current case." Officer Peng said: "It is said that after Chen Zuyi finished creating this painting, he disappeared mysteriously, the door of the studio was locked, the light was not turned off, and even the ink on the brush did not have time to be cleaned, so that the brush fell on the painting and formed a stain." ”
"At that time, this incident caused a lot of sensation on Hong Kong Island, and until now, the whereabouts of Mr. Chen Zuyi have not been found, so this painting, which is called Chen Zuyi's masterpiece, was later auctioned by his descendants, coupled with some false rumors, once the popularity of this painting was speculated to a high price of more than 200,000 yuan."
"In the following ten years, this painting once changed hands to several wealthy businessmen, but every rich businessman who took over the painting would mysteriously disappear within a month to two or three years, and now this case is the seventh case."
Hearing this, my heart was also shrouded in a thick haze, and I subconsciously said: "That painting will eat people?" ”
Officer Peng glared at me and said, "Don't talk nonsense, children, our police suspect that there is a serial killer who has committed the crime against a wealthy businessman who has been targeting this painting for more than ten years, and this person has quite careful logical thinking and modus operandi, and is especially good at murder in a closed room." ”
"This is no longer a murder in a secret room, but a big living person has been changed out of the secret room, could this be a big change of living magic?"
"Shut your mouth?" Officer Peng scolded me again: "Don't talk nonsense here. ”
Speaking of this, Officer Peng stood up and said to Liao Qingjiang next to him, "Where is that Lan Ruotu now?" I'm going to take it back to the police station for an investigation. ”
"It's in my dad's bedroom." Liao Qingjiang hurriedly said.
So, the four of us went upstairs directly and came to Liao Qingjiang's parents' bedroom.
As Aunt Wang said at the beginning, all the signs in this bedroom were very weird, as if Liao Qingjiang's parents were sleeping in bed that night and suddenly disappeared out of thin air.
And that Lan Ruotu is hung on the decorative wall of his bedroom, this Liao Qingjiang's father has a hobby of collecting famous paintings, although these paintings are not very expensive, but they also have a certain value, and his favorite is some allusion scrolls, such as this "Lan Ruotu", the reason why he is willing to spend 300,000 yuan to shoot it is that he is attracted by the bizarre stories behind this painting, but he didn't expect that now he has caused such a big disaster because of such a painting.
I have seen a copy of "Xishan Lanruotu" on the Internet before, which is actually a landscape painting, and in the woods in that painting, you can vaguely see pavilions and pavilions, so when Liao Qingjiang talked about Lanruotu just now, I will instinctively associate with such a painting.
However, this masterpiece painting from Hong Kong Island master Mr. Chen Zuyi, the background is still in the sparsely populated mountains, the only difference is that the looming pavilion has been erased, replaced by a very mysterious and ancient temple, and this ancient temple is based on the Lanruo Temple in "A Chinese Ghost Story" as a blueprint.
