Chapter 169: Lack of Evidence

It was You Lu who was driving, and on a hot day, he was dressed in a straight suit, rolled down the window, and he was smiling at us. I asked Wen Ning and another criminal police officer to follow the police academy girl first, but don't let her find out first, Wen Ning thought about it and nodded. You Lu got out of the car, walked up to me and shook my hand.

He asked me how I was here, and I squinted at him warily and asked him why he was here. You Lu was slightly stunned, and said that he was about to go to an art exhibition, and he drove by here, and happened to see us under the tree, so he stopped the car to say hello. You Lu said it naturally, not like he was lying at all.

Seeing that I didn't answer for a long time, he asked me what was wrong.

"We're working on the case." I'll be honest with you.

You Lu turned his head, looked at the back of Wen Ning and the other criminal policeman leaving, scratched his head, and asked, "Did I affect your case?" ”

I nodded, and You Lu immediately apologized to me, and in the process, I kept observing every change in expression on his face. City B is so big, I don't think You Lu will pass by here so coincidentally. I thought so in my heart, but I didn't say it, I looked at my watch, and it was almost four o'clock in the afternoon.

"Art exhibitions usually start in the morning." I asked tentatively. As far as I know, this place is still some distance away from the area where the art exhibition area is concentrated, and it is about to be close to the time of work, which is the peak period of traffic and people, even if You Lu drives, it is inevitable that he will encounter traffic jams, and when he arrives there, it is already close to the evening time.

You Lu: "It's a special art exhibition, that's why it started in the evening. ”

You Lu wanted to shake my hand again, and he said goodbye to me, saying that if I didn't go, it would really be too late. He apologized to me again, saying that he had accidentally disturbed our case, and that he would invite me and the police leaders to dinner another day. After that, he opened the car door to get into the car, and I stopped him.

"Since I went to your house, I found that I am also interested in painting, I wonder if Mr. You can take me to that art exhibition?" I smiled.

To my surprise, You Lu listened to what I said and was very happy, and he immediately went around to the other side of the car and opened the door for me. After getting into the car, You Lu stepped on the accelerator, he said that he likes to make friends who love painting, but helplessly, his friends or relatives around him don't seem to be very interested in this aspect.

You Lu didn't feel hot in a suit, and in the evening, the temperature dropped a little lower than noon, and the wind poured in through the car window, and the sweat on my face was quickly dried. As he drove, You Lu talked endlessly about the art exhibition he was going to attend tonight, and he didn't tell me the contents of the exhibition, but pretended to be mysterious, saying that I would be surprised.

Soon, the car was blocked, and You Lu took out his mobile phone, which caught my attention, and I was worried that he would temporarily notify someone to hold an exhibition to prevaricate me. You Lu was about to dial the phone, the car in front of him flowed, he smiled awkwardly, handed me the phone, and said let me make a call for him.

I took the phone, You Lu had already pressed the phone number, and the name displayed on the phone was Meng Ting's, I recalled it carefully, and the mobile phone number was indeed Meng Ting's. You Lu drove the car, and he asked me to tell Meng Ting that he might have to go back later tonight and let her go to bed first.

After You Lu finished speaking, he drove the car intently, I looked at You Lu's side face and didn't find anything abnormal. I did what You Lu said, Meng Ting answered the phone quickly, and before I could say anything, Meng Ting called You Lu's name, and when she heard my voice, Meng Ting was a little surprised.

I explained it to Meng Ting, and told Meng Ting what You Lu wanted me to say. Meng Ting said yes, and asked me to tell You Lu to be careful when driving. After hanging up the phone, I handed the phone to You Lu, who took the phone and casually threw the phone to the back seat of the car.

The car drove slowly for more than 20 minutes, and the sky slowly darkened. Finally, You Lu stopped at a large art center, and he told me with a smile. After getting out of the car, You Lu gave the car keys to the person who had arranged to park the car for him in advance, and then he took me into the art center.

There are already a lot of people gathered here, almost all of them know You Brigade, we came in from the gate, all the way to the exhibition area, and people kept coming to greet You Brigade. You Brigade was also very polite, shook hands with them one by one, and introduced me to those people. When You Brigade introduced me, he did not hesitate to praise me and called me the youngest expert in solving crimes.

After dealing with a bunch of people, You Lu took me to meet the organizer of this art exhibition, and the organizer introduced me that he had been preparing for this art exhibition for two years, and he went to all parts of the country to invite excellent painters to paint, including You Lu. The exhibition is entirely funded by the organizers.

I looked around, and it was not possible to hold an exhibition in such a large architectural center, because the exhibition area was very large and the crowd was bustling. There were hundreds of paintings hanging on the wall, and You Lu asked me to look at them casually, so I didn't shirk it, and walked to the painting to observe it carefully.

Soon, I found out what the problem was, the paintings were rough and didn't look like they were painted by professional painters. You Lu waved at me, pointed to a wall, and said it was his work. I followed his fingertips and saw a night view of the countryside, and I glanced at it and frowned.

The painting is also very crude, completely different from what I saw in You Lu's house. I was about to ask, but the organizer of the exhibition took the microphone to speak, and he said that the exhibition had officially begun, and as soon as the words fell, the lights in the entire exhibition area were all extinguished, and at the same time, someone in the exhibition exclaimed, and then the exhibition area erupted in thunderous applause.

Even I was shocked that all the paintings on the walls were shining, and the rough workmanship was obscured by the light. I was standing in front of the painting by You Lu, the content of the painting was still a rural night, but it gave people a completely different feeling.

Under the deep night sky was a silent straw bush, and there were a few faint lights of fireflies in the grass, which echoed the stars in the sky. You Lu used a very thin brush to point out countless small dots in the night sky, and those small dots were glowing, and the light was bright and dark.

The applause was still ringing in my ears, and I finally understood why You Lu said that this was a special art exhibition. You Lu explained that these paintings are not special in the place where there is light, and even feel very rough, but the dark night is when these paintings shine.

The idea came from him, and he negotiated with the organizers to add a special phosphor to the paint, so that the good painters could paint with such a mixture of paints, and this effect was produced. I suppressed the surprise in my heart and was about to say something when Wen Ning called me.

I walked to the side and connected, Wen Ning said that he had figured out who the girl was and that dormitory she lived in, and asked me if I would directly list her as a suspect for interrogation. I lowered my voice and asked Wen Ning not to do this for the time being, just send someone to take a good look at her, because the crime scene did not leave any direct traces and evidence, if the other party questioned and denied it, the police could not close the case, but would startle her.

Wen Ning agreed, asked me where I was, and urged me to go back quickly to discuss countermeasures with him, I thought about it, and said that I would go back immediately. After hanging up the phone, I told You Lu that I was going back, You Lu stayed for me to watch for a while, and I said that the police still had something very important to help me with.

You Lu did not hesitate and insisted on driving me back. In the car, I said that You Lu's art exhibition would not work without him, after all, the idea of the art exhibition came from him, and he also painted for the exhibition. You Lu didn't care, saying that he was tired from attending art exhibitions all day, and sending me was to make up for him hindering us in handling the case.

After that, You Lu didn't say a word, and after sending me to the gate of the police academy, You Lu said that he was going to go home directly to accompany Meng Ting. He asked me how the Bixian case was going, I looked at him, he didn't avoid my gaze, and I said that the case would be solved soon.

You Lu nodded and drove away.

When I returned to the task force office, Wen Ning was holding a meeting with everyone, and as soon as I came in, he asked me where I had gone. You Lu suddenly drove to block us, and Wen Ning asked me again if You Lu had any problems. I told Wen Ning what happened, and Wen Ning directly ruled out You Lu's suspicion.

Although You Lu did go to the art exhibition, I felt that something was wrong with him, so I kept an extra eye in my heart.
