Chapter 12: Frozen Summer

The bald man was about thirty years old, with a fat head and big ears, and a stud earring on his right ear.

When the police made the transcript, he was sweating profusely, and he urged the police to write down his English name, and then told how he bought dead babies and how to make amber, buried them in the soil, in order to surprise people, and when the festival opened in a few days, he would invite reporters to go and dig up the amber boy's body.

Su Mei said: Why are you wearing a down jacket?

The bald man said: Whether it is painting, literature, or film and television, for Chinese art, it is winter, a frozen period. This is also the theme that my work wants to express the most.

Drawing the dragon said: Dude, what we want to hear is, how do you kill people?

The bald man said: I'm a performance artist, thank you.

Professor Liang said: Wearing a padded jacket in summer is performance art?

The bald man said: Lin Daiyu buries flowers, Jiang Ziya fishes, and Li Taibai invites the moon, all of which are performance art. Performance art is a dynamic and comprehensive art, which integrates performance, vision, modeling, language and other forms.

Bao Shu asked: Who did you buy the dead baby from, where is the mold for making amber now, and what is the meaning of the sentence you left behind?

The bald man weaved a lie claiming that he had bought a dead baby from a hospital and made amber at home, and he could not give any details, and he had no idea about the stickers on the amber boy's body. The special case team saw that this person was only trying to use the police to achieve the purpose of becoming famous, and no relevant physical evidence was found in his residence, so he was criticized and educated and released.

The bald man reluctantly opened the handcuffs, and he begged: It's okay to detain me for half a month, please, and then tell the outside world that I did it. How can you do this, I want to sue you, it is my work, you have violated my rights, give me back my work.

Tulong confiscated the handcuffs and violently pushed him out of the police room, and the bald man actually demanded that the handcuffs be returned to him.

He said, "If you don't go grab something or something, we'll handcuff you again."

The bald man said: The handcuffs are my prop, and I want to find a woman who will be handcuffed with me for a year without touching each other.

Su Mei also smiled and asked, "Then did you find it?"

The bald man said: No, are you willing to cuff me together, I promise not to touch you, beauty, for the sake of art, let's discuss how about it, this work is called "Yin and Yang Separation", or "Same Bed, Different Dreams", hey, it's naïve and hot, I took off this down jacket first......

When the special case team visited, it was found that many of the farmyards in the village were painters' studios, and many mainstream painters had a disdainful attitude towards performance art. Performance art is in a semi-underground state, and the place where it is performed is usually in a private place, or in the wilderness, and is circulated in the form of photography or video. As the annual festival is about to begin, performance artists are also gathered here, who are silent about their work, keeping it secret in advance, and looking forward to making a splash in front of many journalists at home and abroad.

The special case team found no suspicious people in the village, but they firmly believed that the murderer who created the amber child corpse case was a performance artist, and everyone vaguely thought that this murderer would appear at the art festival.

Performance artists often design the police as a dynamic element, they are not afraid of the police, they just treat the police

Be a special audience.

The self-adhesive sticker attached to the amber boy's corpse has the following sentence: When I rotted into poop, my words were still vivid!

Su Mei searched for this sentence on the computer, but found no results on the Internet, indicating that this sentence was original by the murderer, not quoted from someone else. She had an idea, logged on to the public security intranet, searched again, and found an important clue.

In October last year, a public security case occurred in a Xinhua bookstore on Wangfujing Street.

Every year in October, the Swedish Academy of Letters awards this year's Nobel Prize in Literature, and many bookstores sell books by previous Nobel Prize winners. The same is true for this bookstore, where they have a dedicated bookshelf filled with award-winning works.

One day, a scruffy young man walked into the bookstore, and the staff noticed that he was thin, with a goatee, sunken eyes, and a shabby denim jacket on the upper body and equally worn-out jeans on the bottom. On his clothes were written a few slogans such as "Great Poet Liu Ming", "Nobel Prize Winner in Literature", "Wake Up, Literature!" ”。

These three slogans are written on the clothes in yellow paint, which is very eye-catching, and the bookstore staff look at this strange man, pointing and talking about it.

He stood in front of the bookshelf, flipping through the Nobel Prize for Literature, shaking his head and smiling bitterly as he read.

One of the staff members, suspecting that he was stealing books, quietly observed, only to find that the strange man had taken advantage of the fact that he had not noticed and pasted a sticker on the top of the page, and then put the book back on the shelf.

Just as he was putting a third sticker in the book, the staff stepped forward to stop him, opened the book, and there was a small handwritten poem on the sticker.

This person claimed to be a poet, named Liu Ming, and he pointed to the words "Great Poet Liu Ming" on his clothes to show the staff.

Liu Ming said as he walked: In three years, I will win the Nobel Prize, and my poetry collection will be placed on this shelf.

The staff said: Excuse me, sir, please wait a minute.

Liu Ming continued to walk towards the door and said, "What, if you want to find me to sign an autograph, let's do it another day."

The staff said, "Sir, how do we sell these books?"

Liu Ming said: Even if I win the Nobel Prize, I refuse to accept it, and I refuse all official honors.

The staff stopped Liu Ming at the door and said: These books have been damaged by you, and you can't tear off the adhesive tape you pasted, according to the regulations, you have to buy them.

Liu Ming said: I have no money.

The head of the bookstore came over and asked what was going on, and the staff said that this person was littering.

The words "littering" made Liu Ming angry, he couldn't accept this statement, those small poems pasted on literary masterpieces were his works, and they were actually regarded as garbage. The great poet Liu Ming was furious, and after the quarrel, he fought and was finally sent to the public security organ.

The two clerks twisted his arm, his neck was full of muscles, and shouted to the onlookers on the street: I am the great poet Liu Ming, and when I rot into stool, my words are still vivid!

At that time, the police who handled the public order case posted the incident on the public security intranet as a strange anecdote, recording the whole process in detail

The special case team did not expect that the suspect would inadvertently enter the police's sight, but it was not so easy to find him. The police who handled the matter at the time recalled that Liu Ming paid the fine, wrote a letter of guarantee and was released. The case file is kept

The address in the file is a rental house, Liu Ming has no money to pay the rent, and after being evicted, he has already changed several residents.

Professor Liang said: It is not a coincidence that Liu Ming once said that the words on the body of the child were not coincidental.

Su Mei said: Is he a poet or a performance artist, he is really creative, and he pasted the bad poems he wrote into the book, so that people who bought the book would read his poems.

Bao Shu said: Liu Ming is suspicious, but this does not prove that he is the one who killed the boy to make amber.

Hualong said: This person is indeed very weird, paranoid and a little violent, and he must have been attacked by the public security organs more than once.

Deputy Secretary Huang said: Professor Liang, please give instructions!

Professor Liang's deployment work, first of all, to expand the scope of investigation, to the city's resin handicraft manufacturers and small workshops to conduct a thorough visit, looking for people related to the case; The police in the same prefecture once again issued a notice to all public security organs to assist in the investigation, first, to verify the source of the body, and second, to obtain all kinds of information about Liu Ming, who is likely to have a criminal record, and finding the suspect Liu Ming as soon as possible is the focus of criminal investigation work. When Liu Ming was dealt with by the police, he wrote a letter of guarantee that he should do a handwriting evaluation with the words on the child's body as soon as possible.

The handwriting identification results soon came out, and the words on the child's body were written by Liu Ming, who was suspected of major homicide.

After receiving the report of the investigation, the Metro Public Security Bureau reported a clue that two policemen on duty had arrested Liu Ming.

One night a few months ago, a girl was hijacked in an underground passage near Exit D of the Sanyuanqiao subway station. The girl, a college student, took the last subway back to school, and when she walked to the underpass, a sloppy young man passed by her and then turned to follow her. The girl was a little flustered, and quickened her pace, there were only two of them in the underpass, and she looked back from time to time, and the man followed behind, muttering to herself, muttering something in her mouth.

The girl tried to run, but the man caught up and patted her on the shoulder with his hand.

The girl screamed loudly in fright and asked, "What do you want to do, rob you?"

The sloppy young man took out a utility knife, pushed the girl to the wall, and said: Don't get me wrong, I don't rob money.

The girl clasped her hands on her chest and begged for mercy: Don't insult me, okay.

The sloppy young man said: I am not a hooligan, I am a poet, I have just written a poem, read it to you.

A girl was once abducted in the underground passage near Exit D of the Sanyuanqiao subway station, and the man followed the girl in the middle of the night, neither robbing nor indecent, but coercing the girl to listen to him read a poem he had written:

I want to say to you what the spring breeze said to Xiaocao.

I want to write to you, the poem that Xia Yu wrote to Baihua.

I'm going to sing to you, the song that Autumn Moon sang to Momiji.

I'm going to do to you, what Dongxue did to the earth.

The sloppy young man asked the girl to comment on her poems, and the girl trembled with fright, and two policemen on duty happened to pass by the underpass, arrested her, and took her to the police station for interrogation. The young man was the great poet Liu Ming, who claimed that he had no malicious intent, but the police detained him for several days for "picking a provocation and causing trouble."

According to the case file information provided by the subway branch, Hualong, Bao Shu, and Su Mei rushed to Liu Ming's rented house with a team of armed police.

It was a dark, damp basement, the room had been cleaned and empty, except for a bunk iron bed with wooden planks, no bedding, and blood on the floor.
