Chapter 409: The Sculptor Who Disappeared (1)

Early the next morning, Jiang Dong took someone to search Duan Qirui's residence in H City, which was an old community, Duan Qirui bought three households on the first floor here and opened them up, although the structure inside looked strange, but it was very bright.

"Duan Qirui has nothing at home." Jiang Dong and Han Shuo led people to search Duan Qirui's home, the house was tidy, there was no Duan Qirui, there was no whereabouts for him, and there was no useful value except for finding a contract for the other part of the ashes transaction.

The room is nicely divided into two areas, the living area and the work area, which also has a sculpture of an arm in progress and a bunch of unfinished orders.

If it weren't for Li Yifan, they found the arm in the sculpture, and with those contracts, Jiang Dong would not have been able to continue to investigate the artist Duan Qirui, and now they have to investigate things related to the sculpture on the one hand, and find Duan Qirui on the other hand.

Originally, this case was troublesome to investigate, Jiang Dong judged this case completely by virtue of what Li Yifan saw, if he found the underground passage that Li Yifan clearly remembered in his dream, and checked it and found that there was nothing suspicious, but now not only the underground passage and those studios could not be found, but even Duan Qirui's people disappeared out of thin air, and there was such a big movement, but he didn't know where to go.

Jiang Dong compared the detailed layout of the passage and the underground studio that he had carefully drawn on his mobile phone, which Li Yifan had just sent this morning, and the detailed layout of the passage and underground studio that he saw in his dream, compared with the place he checked yesterday, no, there was no underground passage found there. Looking at the room on the top floor in front of me, it was obviously not.

"Do you teachers usually go out for a walk?" Jiang Dong asked Xu Kai and Sister Tao, who followed all the way next to him, if it weren't for Duan Qirui to explain the problem now, these two people should have done something a long time ago, and they didn't have to be on call to accompany the police around in circles.

"Yes!" Before Xu Kai could speak, Sister Tao answered loudly first. "Yes, he often goes around, and that's the case with artists, who dedicate all their time and passion to art, leaving too little time for themselves, but once they choose what to do, they are so desperate." Sister Tao seemed to see Jiang Dong's questions about those orders, and couldn't help but explain.

"Boss, the boxes and clothes in the closet have been moved, but the surveillance at the entrance of the community shows that Sister Tao came here at noon the day before yesterday, and when she came, she was empty-handed, and she took a black suitcase when she left." Han Shuo said, pulling Jiang Dong aside to show him the surveillance records on the tablet.

After listening to what Han Shuo said, Jiang Dong looked up at Sister Tao who had been following him closely, she looked a little nervous at the moment, completely lost the calmness and calmness when they met yesterday, but it was Xu Kai next to him, as if he had something in his heart, and when Sister Tao said that Duan Qirui went to relax, he obviously had a different opinion.

"Miss Tao, do you have the key here?" Jiang Dong asked Sister Tao next to him. "Are you coming by car?"

The question "Yes ......" made Sister Tao a little flustered, but soon she regained her composure.

"Han Shuo, you accompany Sister Tao down and check her car, I think Teacher Duan Qirui's luggage may not have been in his hand yet." Jiang Dong said to Han, Han Shuo understood it and walked out of the room with Sister Tao.

"Your teacher shouldn't be a person who doesn't have a sense of responsibility." Jiang Dong rummaged through the book full of orders on the workbench and said to Xu Kai next to him.

"No, he is a very responsible teacher, even if the senior sculpture is already very good, he will personally check them one by one, and will not tolerate any small mistakes." Xu Kai mentioned the teacher with a look of admiration.

Speaking of which, he has loved sculpture since he was a child, but his family background is not very superior, and he was not admitted to a formal art college to study sculpture, but his dream of sculpture has always been in college, so he insisted on auditing at the Academy of Fine Arts.

Although Duan Qirui was not as hot as he is now, he is also a little famous in the sculpture world, Xu Kai was worried in his heart, for fear that Duan Qirui would not accept him or the tuition fee charged was too high, who would have thought that Duan Qirui appreciated his persistence and accepted him as an apprentice, and the tuition fee was also within his own affordability.

"Did he ever leave suddenly without finishing the work at hand?" Jiang Dong asked.

"I don't have the impression of ...... Actually, Captain Jiang, I always felt that our teacher was not going to relax, he was, she was missing. Xu Kai hesitated, but still said his thoughts.

"This time his personal sculpture exhibition, the teacher has been preparing for a long time, it can be said that each exhibit is personal, and even the layout of the exhibition hall is negotiated with many planners...... However, when it was about to be exhibited, he disappeared. Xu Kai looked worried.

"You mean Duan Qirui disappeared suddenly?" Jiang Dong asked Xu Kai.

"I can't say if it's suddenly gone, usually the teacher's life is Sister Tao is taking care of, during that time we were busy with the sculpture exhibition, Brother Tao was not there, until the exhibition was close to the teacher didn't show up for a long time, Sister Tao said that the teacher went out to relax, maybe there were too many orders recently, and the pressure was too great."

"I was a little skeptical at that time, because I knew that there were a few orders coming soon, and the exhibition was about to start, so it was really strange for the teacher to go for a walk." Xu Kai said.

"Boss, I found a black suitcase in her car, which should contain Duan Qirui's clothes." Han Shuo said, threw a box on the ground, pulled Sister Tao and walked over.

"Teacher Duan asked me to help bring this over." Sister Tao was a little flustered and straightened out the clothes that were pulled by Han Shuo.

"Sister Tao, do you know where the teacher is?" Xu Kai asked anxiously.

"I ...... I don't know, I was going to go to the villa with my luggage yesterday, but I didn't expect that there was a problem with the sculpture exhibition, I felt that I had passed with the contract, and I hadn't seen Mr. Duan yet. Sister Tao explained helplessly. If I had known that we had already said it, we all had a formal contract, and the sculpture was not afraid of being investigated, and the problem between Mr. Duan and the police would have been solved a long time ago. ”

"The villa you're talking about is the one in City C?" Jiang Dong looked at the information, there is another villa under Duan Qirui's name, which is on the outskirts of City C, if you guess correctly, it is the villa where Lao Tan once invited Li Yifan to live with them, and the place where Lao Tan helped his friend take care of the dog.
