"I was not reconciled, I checked his information repeatedly. At that time, the provincial task force was stationed in Nancheng and found that there were many properties in his name and a large amount of overseas funds. The information is unassailable, I don't believe it. But I couldn't do anything. Now that the matter in Nancheng is getting bigger and bigger, some people have crossed the province and stabbed directly into the ministry, and I was specially transferred from the fifth bureau to the 24th bureau, just to come to Nancheng again to wade into troubled waters and find out the matter clearly. I went undercover with Zou Shizhao for nearly a year, and finally found out his entire smuggling network. But the clearer it is, the more painful the truth becomes. The more Lu Zenghan spoke, the heavier it became, he sat on the sofa, his hands pulling his hair weakly, "Nancheng is a fucking rotten pot, it's a black nest, and no one can run if they come in." ”

"Then, Zhao Lichuan, it's really-" I don't know how to describe his behavior, is it illegal, or violated, or criminal?

Lu Zenghan didn't answer, but just let out a long sigh: "When the male corpse appeared on Nanqi Island, combined with the information in my hand and Chen Chen's affairs, I probably knew that he was a translator before Chen Chen, that is, Peng Zihao's buddy who killed Chen Chen, Li Chengbin." You asked me who killed the male corpse before, and I said I didn't know, but in fact, I vaguely guessed in my heart that he did it. ”

"He? Zhao Lichuan? I shuddered, "Why did he kill Li Chengbin, and what does he have to do with Chen Chen?" ”

That probably starts with his relationship with Zou Shizhao. Zou Shizhao is a man with no small ambitions, and his business empire is a series of shipyards, production ships, and regular transportation. But now the shipping is very thin, and the normal operation cannot satisfy his desires at all. He moved his brain to the wrong place and started the idea of smuggling. His smuggling, if it is normal goods, uses bonded warehouses to enter the country without entering the warehouse, or directly writes off, or even defrauds tax reductions and exemptions, and there are many means. If it is an abnormal cargo, it will be bypassed customs, or it will be traded directly by sea. Lu Zenghan said.

"Abnormal goods?" I don't understand.

Lu Zenghan smiled bitterly: "Imported drugs, guns and ammunition, oil, exported scrap steel, rare animals, messy everything." The money smuggled in was fast and abundant, and he laundered it in various ways, including the auction house in Xia Mengci's house. At the same time, he has many companies under his name, forming a network system, each performing its own duties. ”

"Didn't anyone check on him? How could he be so big? "I can't believe how he could do these things under the nose of the anti-smuggling police in a city like Nancheng, which is near the sea.

"He does it big, but it does big good. Unlike ordinary petty fights, he has achieved a certain scale, and to this extent, the fake has become real. There are even many people who need his company to launder money. His ship financial leasing, said to be financing, actually laundered how much money? Those leasing companies, check the back, are they real businessmen, or are they the families of some people who took the black money? Lu Zenghan sneered, "He has already made this kind of shady thing like a serious deal." If it weren't for the in-depth peeling of the cocoon, these people who were entangled with him like a net would not have been able to find out at all. ”

I was dizzy when I heard it: "So Zou Shizhao is a net, and there are a lot of fish behind it?" ”

"So it alarmed the ministry, and it was going to be a nest. But it doesn't matter if the fish and shrimp are small, as long as you follow the evidence of the transaction and check it out. Big fish is not easy to check, their assets are often transferred overseas, and Zou Shizhao is very good at doing this kind of thing, and it is very difficult to check without showing traces. Lu Zenghan finished smoking a cigarette, he trembled his hands and lit another cigarette, as if trying his best to calm his emotions, "Zhao Lichuan, maybe he is also a big fish behind Zou Shizhao, but when he wanted to get rid of Zou Shizhao, he was bitten back by the person who was caught by Zou Shizhao, so that he died." The male corpse on Nanqi Island is the precursor to the disintegration of Zhao Lichuan and Zou Shizhao. Yunhu Villa has experienced several owners before and after, Jin Peijiang, Zhao Lichuan, and Zou Shizhao. When the male corpse died, the owner was Zhao Lichuan, and Yunhu Villa was given to him by Jin Peijiang. If he hadn't done it, no one else would have been able to kill people in his house. ”

Lu Zenghan took a few puffs of his cigarette and extinguished it irritably: "I just don't understand, why is he in the same stream with those people?" He's not that kind of person! ”

My heart is turned upside down, man, what a complex creature. Everyone has many faces, but in the end, they don't even know what they are.

Lu Zenghan said bitterly: "The more I checked, the more I found that he was not innocent. But Joe, can you understand my pain? ”

I shook Lu Zenghan's hand, his pain at this moment was real and deep, and I could even feel him trembling slightly: "Ke Qiao, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, if I start to find this, maybe, I won't provoke you." ”

This sentence made me completely stunned, and I looked at him blankly and said: "That is to say, you approached my purpose at first, and you tricked my purpose, really trying to kill me?" My voice started to shake.

Lu Zenghan let out a long sigh, did not avoid my gaze, and seemed to look directly into my heart: "I think, after returning from the United States, I am suffering every day. He taught me to be a good cop, but I don't know what it takes to be a good cop. I always thought that a good policeman should guard the balance of the world, punish the evil and eliminate the traitor, but I am facing a murderer, I can't do anything! ”

I looked at him incredulously, shaking my head in disbelief, God, what a terrible person, obviously hated me to death, how did he make fun of me and give me gifts? I broke down and shouted: "Why are you doing this to me, even if you tell me directly, I am a murderer, you want me to die, why do you do such a sinister thing?" Why! ”

"Why?" Lu Zenghan laughed self-deprecatingly twice, the expression on his face was full of coldness, "Yes, why don't I find evidence and sue you?" Why should I use this method? ”

Lu Zenghan slowly stood up and pulled me towards the room where my sister's things were placed: "I'll tell you the answer." ”

I was suddenly a little scared, what else did I not know? If God wants to punish me, I really hope that he will punish me enough, and not tear it open every time when my wound is about to heal. My steps were even a little stagnant. Lu Zenghan dragged me to the door of the room and walked to the front of a pile of paintings. I had looked through the stack of paintings one by one, they were my sister's paintings, except for the last one, which was wrapped in paper and I didn't open it.

Lu Zenghan directly pulled out the last painting, opened it in front of me, and threw it on the ground: "Look at it." ”

I took a step forward, and it was a pattern of the night sky, with occasional starlight, but the night sky was at a different level, and it took a lot of effort to create a kind of chromatic difference and three-dimensional sense of light and dark intervals. This painting is very large, but the pattern is monotonous, and the painting skills are also very average, not the handiwork of my sister. My sister has been learning to paint for many years, and the level of painting is naturally much higher than this, and the number of times this painting is undercolored is very much, and the techniques used are also extremely complicated, but it does not show what it wants to express, in other words, this painter has rich theoretical knowledge, but his hands-on ability cannot keep up with the theory.

"Do you see what's coming?" Lu Zenghan asked, his voice was faintly sad.

I looked at it again and again, and there was nothing special, but after staring at it for a long time, I felt uncomfortable. But strangely, where does this discomfort come from? I looked around, and suddenly found that this painting is the spiral curve of psychology, with the color difference of oil painting, look closely, every line in the night sky, slowly at the end of the formation of a closed curve, the occasional few stars, just on the scattering point of the curve, and the spiral curve of light and dark interweaving, make people dizzy, after a long time, can be hypnotized. If a depressed patient looks at this kind of painting for a long time, the condition will become more and more serious, and even dizziness, vomiting and nausea.

My heart suddenly tightened: "Where did you get this painting?" ”

Lu Zenghan smiled bitterly: "When I went to his apartment in the United States, when I was packing up my things, this painting was hanging on the wall. I've been to that place before, I lived there when I was studying criminal psychology in the United States, and I don't have this painting. He doesn't go there once in a few years, and he doesn't buy a painting and come back. ”

"You mean, I painted this picture?" I looked at Lu Zenghan in amazement.

Lu Zenghan shook his head helplessly: "His apartment is not monitored, so there is no way to know who looked for him when he lived." But I looked for someone to check the surveillance on the street nearby, and three days before his accident, you were walking in the direction of his house with something the size and shape of the painting that had been wrapped. ”

"Impossible, impossible." I shook my head and muttered, "I can't draw, I haven't painted since elementary school, since my parents died." My sister can draw, but I can't. Even if it's her, she's a split out of me, how can she be if I don't know something? ”

"It's not that you won't, you're traumatized and don't want to touch the brush. You and Ke Yi are familiar with each other, and you have a foundation in painting, and you have rich theoretical knowledge of painting, but you lack practical operation, but it is not difficult to paint such a depressive painting. The focus of this painting is not how difficult the technique is, but the psychological points contained in it, the points that can make people depressed. Lu Zenghan said entangledly, "You say, kill people with paintings, I just tell the police about this kind of thing, who can believe it?" Even if the police believe it and sue it in court, it is unprecedented, and no one will dare to judge that a painting can be a sharp weapon for killing. ”

I suddenly remembered the ghostly voice of Lu Zenghan when I first met him: "You are an art therapist, everything is a double-edged sword, if you can save people, you can kill people, art kills, you must be unaware, what do you say?" ”
