Chapter 348: The kidnapping case more than ten years ago
As soon as I drank it, You Brigade subconsciously took a step back, and Jiang Jun pushed You Brigade away and quickly walked towards the house. The room was too big, Jiang Jun shouted. While searching. I kept staring at You Lu, so many bright red on You Lu's body had already solidified, and the bright red deeply stimulated my brain nerves.
My first reaction was: blood. However, there was no smell of blood in the house, I didn't let my guard down, and stared at You Lu carefully, even if the bright red on You Lu's body was really blood, after the blood coagulated, the smell was difficult to detect. Jiang Jun walked around the huge house, and he ran back and said that he had found nothing.
"Let me ask you, where is Meng Ting!" I drank again.
You Lu finally spoke, and all his nervousness disappeared. He pointed to a direction in the room and told us that Meng Ting was in the innermost room, where the sound insulation was good, so Jiang Jun called Meng Ting, but she didn't hear it. Jiang Jun was aggressive, pointed to the bright red on You Lu's body, and asked what it was.
You Lu smiled: "I painted on the balcony, and the paint was dyed." ”
We will be suspicious, in order to dispel our doubts, You Lu took the initiative to show us the way, saying that he would take us to Meng Ting. We vigilantly followed behind You Lu, and You Lu didn't look back, just smiled and said that our menacing appearance frightened him. Soon, You Brigade took us outside a room with the door locked tightly.
You Lu knocked the door a few times. After knocking for a while, there was a sound in the door so small that we could barely hear it: Come in.
At this time, You Lu opened the door with confidence, and as soon as we entered the door, we were stunned. Contrary to what we had imagined, we had expected that this room would be painted bright red, just like Youlu's villa, but as soon as we entered the house, we were surrounded by a white expanse.
White is the most commonly used decoration color, but we all feel a little uncomfortable. Wen Ning told me that he had come to You Lu's new home several times in order to investigate You Lu, according to Wen Ning. You Brigade painted the room bright red as well. The room was large, but unusually empty.
There was nothing but a soft bed and a large sofa. Meng Ting was on the bed, she leaned on the back of the bed, she was surprised at first when she saw us coming, and then she showed a happy smile on her face. A strange thought rose in my heart, in this white expanse, Meng Ting's bed was like a coffin. The white color of the house is the color of the memorial service.
Meng Ting's belly was high and bulging, I haven't seen her for a long time, Meng Ting looked more mature, she gently stroked her belly, let us sit down quickly, You Lu immediately poured water for us. After a while, You Lu handed one of us a glass of water. Sitting in the room and chatting for a while, Meng Ting kept smiling, and her arrival made her very happy.
Soon, Meng Ting was sleepy, and we exited the room. I looked at You Lu: "What are you drawing, can I take a look?" "Wooden intestines.
You Lu did not refuse, he took the three of us to the balcony, the balcony was large, the sun was abundant, facing a vast lawn, the leaves swayed in the sun, although the lawn and leaves had turned yellow because of the arrival of autumn, but the vitality in the landscape was not lost at all.
There is an easel on the balcony, and on the easel is a huge piece of drawing paper, on which is the scenery outside the balcony, but the main color of this scenery has become bright red. The scenery that was originally comfortable to see, when it came to You Lu's picture scroll, it suddenly made people feel a slap of panic.
"You seem to be particularly fond of red." I looked at the painting closely.
You Lu did not deny it: "That's right, red, it makes me very excited to see it." ”
When You Lu said the word excited, I glanced at the bright red on his body again. You Lu is an elegant painter, I have seen him when he paints, and he would not have splashed so much paint on his body in normal times.
"What does this red landscape represent?" I asked again.
You Lu pointed to the yellowed lawn: "In autumn, all creatures should slowly lose their vitality, but these plants, although they turn yellow, are still vibrant, which is not in accordance with the law, so they have a little more solemn aura when they come to my pen." ”
"Killing?" I wondered, sure enough, with You Lu's suggestion, when I went to see the red scenery again, I did feel fierce and slaughtering.
Jiang Jun asked You Lu why he changed the color of Meng Ting's room again, You Lu just smiled, he said that at this time, Meng Ting needed to be quiet, so he hoped to use the cleanest color to calm Meng Ting's mind. When he said this, You Lu also looked at me: "Professor Li, you also know why Meng Ting needs to meditate. ”
I didn't answer, I naturally what you were talking about. When Du Lei died, Meng Ting and You Lu rushed to the funeral home, and at that time, Meng Ting cried heartbreakingly. You Lu told me that after returning to City B that time, he immediately took Meng Ting to the hospital for examination, and the doctor told him that Meng Ting was emotional, and the child in her belly was almost lost.
After returning to City B, Meng Ting was depressed for several days, and with the efforts of You Lu, Meng Ting finally returned to normal.
While talking to us, You Lu welcomed us to the living room, where we waited while You Lu went to change clothes. Meng Ting's figure painting has been taken from the villa by You Lu to a new house. On closer inspection, although this house is not as big as the villa of Youlu, the layout is similar to the interior of the villa.
Just like in the villa, the painting was placed directly opposite the sofa, and we carefully observed the painting, and now, we are more sure that the gate of the ancient mansion behind Meng Ting is the Xiao family's house.
"Shen Nuo, it's the first time you've met You Lu, what do you think of him?" I asked Shen Nuo.
Shen Nuo thought about it carefully, and in the end, she used two words to describe You Lu: strange. Jiang Jun took over the words, Jiang Jun thought that You Lu had a psychological problem, You Lu was too obsessed with color, especially red, what You Lu just said, if you think about it carefully, it will make people feel numb.
You Lu said that he would be excited when he saw red, the paint was red, but human blood was also red. You Lu would be so excited to paint with red paint that he would splash the paint on his body, so what if he saw human blood?
While thinking like this, You Brigade returned. I don't beat around the bush anymore, You Lu is also a smart person, and he knows that I am suspicious of him, so after he sat down, he directly asked me what I needed his cooperation in the investigation.
"Xiaopan Village." Those three words came out of my mouth.
You Lu was not too surprised, but asked me with a smile, "What's wrong?" ”
"You went to Yun Province to hold an art exhibition, the purpose is to go to Xiaopan Village, right?" I said it directly.
You Lu admitted that he had been to Xiaopan Village when he was holding an art exhibition, but he denied that he had come to Yun Province to hold an art exhibition for the sake of Xiaopan Village. Jiang Jun heard this and sneered: "If it weren't for Xiaopan Village, would you go to Xiaopan Village at night and not let others know?" ”
Me: "The painting you exhibited in Yun Province is here. ”
I took out the photo taken by the innkeeper, and when I saw the photo of my work, You Lu no longer denied it. That painting is a night scene, and it is not difficult for You Lu, and there is no need for You Lu to spend so many days locking himself in his room. The only explanation is that You Lv left the inn at night when no one was around.
You Lu explained: "In those days, my head was messy, and I suddenly lost my inspiration. So it took a lot of time, and at night, I couldn't really draw, so I suddenly decided to go out for a walk. ”
Jiang Jun asked rhetorically: "As I walked, I walked to Xiaopan Village, which is so far away from Ruli City, right!" ”
You Lu changed into a very formal suit, and he tidied up his tie: "I went to Xiaopan Village to find my relatives." ”
You Lu told us that there was a grandfather in Xiaopan Village who had been separated for many years, and for some reason he did not come to City B to live with their family. He went to Xiaopan Village to meet his grandfather. Just as You Brigade was talking to us, the doorbell rang again.
After You Lu opened the door, a man and a woman came in outside the door, and I recognized them at a glance, these two people were You Lu's parents.
