Chapter 406: The Secret in the Sculpture (5)
"Teacher Tan Yu, please go back to the police station with us to make a record." Jiang Dong When they came to Lao Tan's office, he happened to be inside.
"What's the matter?" Lao Tan looked at Jiang Dong puzzled, it was not the first time they had met, and it was not the first time Lao Tan had gone to the police station, as soon as he said that when he returned to the police station, he remembered the graduate student who died last semester.
"It's about Duan Qirui, we want to ask you to cooperate with the investigation, and ...... Do you have a sculpture of Duan Qirui here? Jiang Dong asked tactfully.
"......" Lao Tan didn't speak, looked up at Sisi and a few of them hiding outside the door, this would really have the urge to beat these students, these boys, they didn't blame them for breaking the sculpture, they were good, and went directly to the police.
"Teacher Tan, no, it's not the police we called, it's the police who are going to come to you, and sooner or later they will have to go back to ......investigate your sculpture," Zhang Rui outside the door quickly explained.
"Duan Qirui, what's wrong with him?" Lao Tan turned his head and asked the police, not like he had anything to do with these students.
"He's sculpted mixed things, like ashes and stuff, and we need to get to know from you." Han Shuo next to him looked at Tan Yu and said.
"Yes, I know." Lao Tan looked like he had known it for a long time. "It's all consensual, and this kind of thing should be against the law."
"Whether you break the law or not, it's not up to you to decide, you have a double hand hidden in this sculpture, who knows if Duan Qirui's other sculptures also have other limbs in it." Han Shuo looked at Tan Yu and said with a smile.
“…… I'll go to the police station with you. Lao Tan hesitated, after all, this is a school, although there are not many people who usually come to this office building, but if someone sees it, it will not be good for him, get up, or decide to go with the police. Is Duan Qirui also in the police station? Before leaving the door, Lao Tan asked.
"We haven't found him yet." Jiang Dong said. "Has he been in contact with you?"
"No, but strangely, I haven't seen him in a month." Lao Tan frowned, speaking of Duan Qirui, the two originally agreed to meet in front of the sculpture exhibition, and discussed how to put a few of Lao Tan's paintings on the sculpture exhibition to help Lao Tan publicize, who knew that he had not seen anyone in the past month, and his family also went, and Duan Qirui's sculpture base also went, but he didn't see anyone.
……
"Lao Duan's first guest was introduced to me." In the interrogation room, Lao Tan looked at Jiang Dong opposite and said: "At that time, I have been graduating from college for two years, Duan Qirui is still working as a tour guide for people in order to make a living, and in the off-season, he uses all his experience in sculpture creation."
At that time, he tried to make sculptures with different materials, Lun gypsum sculpture, he really loved this, and he was reluctant to eat some good money with the money he earned, all of which were used to buy materials, and then I felt that his carving skills were particularly good, especially the carving of portraits, each of which looked vivid.
At that time, my teacher introduced me to a portrait of the son of a rich man, and when I arrived, I realized that the child had died, and he had died in a car accident, and he died a tragic death.
They wanted me to paint some of their son's ashes, a portrait of him before his death, so that he could hang it at home, and that the rich were avant-garde enough to come up with such a way to mourn the dead.
I didn't take this job later, and introduced it directly to Duan Qirui, instead of painting with ashes, it was better to make a sculpture with his son's ashes, but I didn't expect the other party to really agree.
Hehe, that is, since then, Duan Qirui began to think about this, and he could take on one or two such special jobs a year...... The girl's hand, I told a few students in the morning.
Those hands belonged to Lu Yan, a small hand that I grew up with Duan Qirui, she was seriously injured in a fire, her hand was held, but her life was gone...... When she was dying, I hoped that Duan Qirui could leave her arm behind and make a sculpture, which could be regarded as a memory, she was only twenty-seven years old when she left. ”
Speaking of this past, Lao Tan immediately felt a little sad, originally this knot had been buried in his heart for a long time, if it weren't for him and Duan Qirui always praising her flawless hands every time, how could she think about protecting her hands with a wet towel when the fire came.
"Even if the deceased agrees, it can't be sealed like this for so many years." Han Shuo recorded this information, and the details could only be said when Jiang Dong came back from Duan Qirui's sculpture base.
……
It is not far from the university town to the sculpture base, Jiang Dong came out of the city college, and drove to Duan Qirui's sculpture base alone, the factory was full of gray and white, like a world with faded colors.
In the dust, even Xu Youliang and Wang Xi, who arrived on the front foot, were covered with white dust on their hair and clothes. Looking at the few tall and sturdy sculptures in the warehouse, they were in stark contrast to Wang Xi, who was busy holding X-rays.
"How's it going?" Jiang Dong took the dust-proof eyes, put on a mask and walked in the direction of Xu Youliang.
"Ahem, it's all about the same, no different from the ones I brought back." Xu Youliang pointed to the sculpture in front of him that had been inspected.
"What about the taste? Did you find any smell in these? "The dust here is too big, and I can't take off my mask to smell it myself, I guess it will only smell white ash.
"No, most of the sculptures here are made by Duan Qirui's students." Xu Youliang said. "I just asked a student here, Duan Qirui rarely comes here, usually one of his students named Tao Yiran and Xu Kai come more."
"Is there a place to make sculptures in that section of Qirui?" Jiang Dong looked around and found that there were four rooms on one side of the warehouse.
"Those two Duan Qirui went a lot, but the few students who stayed here have just been here for a long time, and they don't know what to ask." Xu Youliang pointed to the two doors next to him and said.
"Okay, let's go over and have a look first, and then we'll talk about it when we find Duan Qirui." Jiang Dong said and opened the room.
The inside is obviously much cleaner, and the molds of these two or three human sculptures are placed at random, Wang Xi took the portable, and the X-ray light shone through, and he did find a small box containing the ashes, which also attached a photo of the boy, compared to the ashes of the boy.
In another room, as soon as you enter, there is a large countertop, which is also covered with a thick layer of plastic film, and there is a manual stone mill in the place between it and the door.
"This can't be what they usually grind bones, right?" After Wang Xi on the side finished inspecting, he looked at Shi Mo and said curiously.
"Hehe, how can there be any bones, this is the material that Brother Tao used to crush the plaster." It was one of Duan Qirui's students who spoke, and looking at him, he obviously didn't know that his teacher had used the ashes of dead people as the material for his sculpture.
