Chapter 17: 017: Red Paint [1]

At five o'clock the next morning, Zhang Leifeng got on the plane and arrived in City A two and a half hours later.

When the plane landed, Zhang Leifeng tilted his head and took a deep breath.

City A is a bustling first-tier metropolis where the air is full of stress, and it is a taxi to the merchant's home. Looking at the pedestrians on the road through the car window, you can see how painful it is for them to live here, but even if they are in pain, they still have to stay here.

The car travels through the bustling city to the other side of the city, a suburb connected to the city, where you will see villas every 100 meters, and from the outside, you will see the luxury of racing one after the other.

In front of Villa No. 8888, the taxi stopped, turned to Zhang Leifeng and said, "Mr. has arrived at the place." ”

Zhang Leifeng raised his eyebrows, opened the car door and walked down after checking out.

Came to the door of the villa, did not rush to ring the doorbell, but walked around the door, this villa is more than 80 meters long from east to west, more than 60 meters wide from north to south, in these villas that he passed, this villa is still a little smaller, but through the construction style of the villa and the door of their home, he is definitely not the poorest businessman here, it seems that the family should be more low-key.

Zhang Leifeng raised his hand and rang the doorbell.

"Who?" A questioning voice came from the intercom on the door.

"Zhang Leifeng."

The voice fell, and the courtyard door slowly opened.

Zhang Leifeng walked into the yard and immediately heard the barking of dogs, and four fierce-looking vicious dogs were in the cages on both sides of the door, and they looked like they were opening their teeth and claws, as if the moment the cage door was opened, they would pounce and tear themselves apart.

A middle-aged man wearing glasses ran from the front.

came to Zhang Leifeng's front and stretched out his hand to hold his hand tightly: "It can be regarded as looking forward to you, you can be regarded as coming." There was a sense of hope at last.

Zhang Leifeng smiled symbolically and let go of his aching hand.

"Inside, please, inside." The man hurriedly made a gesture of please.

Zhang Leifeng walked into the villa with him.

Pushing open the door is a two-meter-high Guan Gong statue, all of which are made of high-quality golden silk nanmu, this one statue is worth millions at least, and there is a calligraphy and painting framed in the frame on the walls on both sides every few meters, giving Zhang Leifeng a feeling of coming to the museum, passing through the statue and the corridor, and coming to the hall.

To the left is an open kitchen with imported appliances.

On the right is their living room, with a 100-inch LCD TV hanging on the wall, a marble coffee table, a set of sofas, and a handmade Turkish carpet on the floor, the pattern and color match his sofa very well.

Marco Polo once wrote: "The best and most beautiful carpets in the world can only be found in Turkey." "It can be seen that the price of this carpet is also very expensive.

The merchant stood beside Zhang Leifeng, watching his eyes constantly turn around the room, a little incomprehensible. He asked him to help solve the case, why didn't he ask anything about the case since he came in, but kept looking at his living room here?

Da-da-da-da!

A footstep came down from the stairs, and Zhang Leifeng looked quickly at the stairs.

A woman in a white overalls appeared in front of her, and it could be judged by the way she walked that she had a herniated disc on her waist, and she had a very small withered leaf in her hair, which she couldn't see at all if she didn't look closely, and it was already winter, and the leaves on the trees had already fallen, where did this little leaf come from? What's more, it's still morning, and the nanny will clean the room in the morning and the yard in the afternoon.

The nanny bowed to the merchant, glanced at Zhang Leifeng with her spare eyes, and hurried over.

"Take me to the scene." Zhang Leifeng saw the nanny go away and said to the businessman.

The merchant nodded, and led Zhang Leifeng through the hall of the villa, walked to a wooden door, and pushed it open with a staircase leading to the underground.

Da-da-da-da! Da-da-da-da!

The two men walked up the stairs all the way to the basement level.

As he walked, Zhang Leifeng suddenly stopped and sniffed the smell in the air with his nose.

"Aren't you ventilating here?" He asked the merchant.

"Of course it's going to be ventilated, what do you smell?" The merchant asked incredulously.

Zhang Leifeng shook his head and did not answer, he would not say any thoughts without confirming the facts of the case.

Going to the basement level, there is only one door, which is the room where the merchant keeps his most precious treasures.

Drip, drip!

He pressed the code on it, then used his fingerprint to recognize it, and the door slowly opened.

Inside the room is a 20-square-meter room.

The room is surrounded by wooden shelves on the left and right, on which are placed all kinds of strange collectibles, the most conspicuous of which is the huge safe in the middle of the room, which is two meters high and one meter five meters wide.

Dortling Narcissus, one of the top five safes in the world, costs around $300,000, and keeping one thing in a $300,000 safe shows the value of that thing.

The merchant was about to walk over and open the safe, but Zhang Leifeng grabbed him.

"Don't move yet." Said to him.

The merchant froze in place.

I saw Zhang Leifeng first go around the safe, and did not find any fingerprint traces around, which made him very surprised, stretched out his hand and gently touched the side of the safe, raised his hand to look at it under the light, there was no trace of dust.

"You cleaned this room after the accident?" He asked, looking up at the merchant.

The merchant nodded: "Yes, I will come to clean it every day, and the police did not extract any fingerprints before, so I only wiped the outside, and the inside did not move." He replied.

Zhang Leifeng was stunned after hearing this: "Do you want to solve the case or don't you want to solve the case?" Don't know how to protect the scene? He scolded angrily.

The merchant was startled by his sudden increase in volume, and hurriedly explained, "I did destroy this painting, but I can't let anything else be ruined as well, so ......"

"You're really going to make it harder for me to solve the case." Zhang Leifeng sneered and muttered.

Go back to the safe door and signal the merchant to open the safe.

He needs to enter a thirteen-digit English and numeric combination password, then perform palm fingerprint recognition, and finally take out a key from his neck and insert it, the steps are very tedious, and finally he can open the safe door.

The door of the safe was opened, all the lights inside were lit up, and a famous painting sprayed with red paint appeared in front of Zhang Leifeng.

His eyes widened, staring at the painting.

The merchant stood aside, vaguely feeling that Zhang Leifeng exuded a smell that he couldn't speak.

Zhang Leifeng took out a magnifying glass from his pocket, walked into the safe and pasted it on the painting, and checked it little by little.
