Xiao Su and I went to the warehouse where the pickup truck driver said that the goods were pulling, and after questioning the warehouse manager, we entered the warehouse......

As soon as he entered the warehouse, Xiao Su frowned and said, "What kind of smell, it smells so bad." ”

After I was finished by her, I also smelled a foul rancid smell. I asked the storekeeper, "Where is that female sculpture?" ”

The storekeeper pointed to the corner and said, "That's it." I had been there all along. ”

Xiao Su also interjected and asked the warehouse manager: "Do people always come to this warehouse?" ”

The warehouse manager smiled and said, "There are no people here at all, it's just that some companies rent such a place here to store their goods on a regular basis." The warehouse is locked after each pick-up. ”

After the storekeeper took Xiao Su and me to the place where the female sculpture was placed before, Xiao Su suddenly said, "There is a dead dog here, I said it smells so bad." ”

After Xiao Su finished speaking, I looked towards the place where she said, and a dog looked like it should have been dead for a long time, and collapsed in a corner of the warehouse......

Xiao Su and I looked at the warehouse without any clues, and after asking who stored the female body sculpture, we left.

"Boss, it's not a company that stores this sculpture. It is a teacher at the Academy of Fine Arts, this teacher is called Jiang Nan, Chinese New Year's Eve is thirty-four years old this year, single. The sculpture was intended for a national competition, but was picked up by an art lover named Pan Gang whom we had investigated, so we sold it to him. Xiao Su made a simple report to the captain of the latest investigation.

After listening to this, the captain thought for a long time, and said directly: "Catch it back, she did it." ”

After the captain finished speaking, Xiao Su smiled awkwardly and said, "Boss, we have checked the background of this teacher. He is a caring volunteer, and a director of the Provincial Art Association, his conduct and reputation are very good, and he has won many awards in various sculpture competitions at home and abroad......"

"Alright, let's go check it out first." I saw that the captain was a little impatient to listen, so I interrupted Xiao Su's words.

After Xiao Su and I came to the Academy of Fine Arts, it was just in time for the teacher Jiang Nan to rest today.

When I heard that Jiang Nan was not there, and Xiao Su was going to pull me away, I said to Xiao Su: "Don't worry, let's go and see how to make sculptures." ”

After I finished speaking, I asked the teacher who received us at the school to lead us and show us where the sculpture was being made. Xiao Su and I went to the sculpture room, where several students were making sculptures. I took out a picture of the sculpture where the corpse was hidden, asked a student if he had an impression of the sculpture, and asked how to fit the corpse into the sculpture.

The student thought for a moment and said, "This work is called "Kneeling and Worshipping", and I made it with Teacher Jiang. The mold is made by Mr. Jiang himself, and the steel bracket in the mold is all in my own hands, and the mold is sealed only when it is finished, and the steel bracket is inside, and the space is not enough, how can the dead be hidden. ”

As soon as the student finished speaking, another student next to him interjected, "Not necessarily, what if you take out the steel tray and replace it with a dead person?" ”

After listening to this sentence, I felt that hiding corpses in sculptures is still a technical job, and it must be done by professionals. Thinking of this, Xiao Su and I immediately rushed to Mr. Jiang's house......

After arriving at Mr. Jiang's house, we met this talented female sculptor. She has long hair and is about 165 cm tall, which is very delicate. Xiao Su and I explained our intentions straight to the point, and Mr. Jiang hurriedly invited the two of us into the house.

After Xiao Su and I entered the house, the teacher Jiang said, "The work "Kneeling" was completed seven months ago, and several students in addition to me also participated in the production. After finishing it, he put it in the warehouse waiting for the competition, and later a collector accidentally saw it on the Internet and sold it to him. ”

After listening to this, I nodded and asked, "Mr. Jiang, we don't know about sculpture." I have a question I want to ask, is it possible to open and reinstall it after the work is completed? ”

Teacher Jiang thought for a while and said, "Yes, but a good sculptor will not do this, and he will not change it after doing it all at once." ”

Xiao Su thought for a while and said, "If the work is demolished, can you see it?" ”

Mr. Jiang nodded and said, "Then it depends on the length of time, generally within seven days, I can see the seams without changing the shape of the work." It's hard to say if it's more than seven days, because the seams will dry out. ”

Just after Mr. Jiang finished speaking, Xiao Su's phone rang. Xiao Su went out and finished answering the phone, walked up to me and said, "Let's go back to the bureau first, the identity of the deceased has been confirmed." ”

Xiao Su and I hurried back to the police station. After arriving at the police station, Xiao Su immediately retrieved the information of the deceased and said to me and the captain: "The deceased, female, 27 years old this year, is called Pan Lu. The information shows that she used to be a single-parent family and has always been dependent on her mother. Her mother had died a year earlier, and she had disappeared six months earlier, and the time of her death coincided with the autopsy report. The deceased was a mute girl when she was alive, so it is impossible to have a grudge with others, right? ”

After listening to Xiao Su's words, I began to be silent, the deceased was a mute girl, and the background was simple, how could he be killed for no reason? Sealed in a sculpture again? I started to take out all the information about this case again, and after checking it a little bit, there must be something missing......

After looking at it for a long time, I said, "Xiao Su, help me check whether Pan Gang, who bought the sculpture, and Jiang Nan, who sold the sculpture, know each other." ”

What Pan Gang said and what Jiang Nan said did not match at all, one said that it was ordered from an art supply store, and the other said that it was favored by collectors on the Internet......

After a while, Xiao Su came back and said to me: "I have checked, the two are college classmates, and they are lovers." By the way, I also checked, and these two people have nothing to do with the deceased. ”

After listening to Xiao Su's words, I shook my head and said, "The deceased is a single-parent family and has no father?" Think for yourself. ”

After hearing this, Xiao Su seemed to suddenly realize and said, "You mean she is an illegitimate daughter?" ”

After I nodded at Xiao Su, I immediately asked the captain for instructions to arrest Pan Gang and Jiang Nan......

In the interrogation room, I said to Pan Gang: "You killed the person, and your girlfriend did the work of hiding the body." ”

At this time, Pan Gang hurriedly said to me, "No, I did it." It has nothing to do with Nan Nan. ”

Not long after he finished speaking, Xiao Su came in and said to me, "It's all over there." After Pan Gang killed someone, he just caught up with Jiang Nan to make a sculpture for the competition, and later in order to hide people's eyes, he came up with this method of hiding the corpse with the sculpture. After the sculpture is ready, it is put in the warehouse, and after a few months, the sculpture is taken out of the warehouse and thrown away. Jiang Nan knew about the whole thing and was involved. ”

After hearing this, I nodded, and said to Pan Gang: "You also deliberately threw the dead dog in the warehouse, right?" I was afraid that the smell of corpses would come from the sculpture, so I threw a dead dog to cover up. ”

Pan Gang didn't speak, just nodded.

I looked at Xiao Su and said, "Since he has recognized it, then ......"

"Okay, I know, my life, you can get out." Xiao Su interrupted me after glaring at me.

Xiao Su came out of the interrogation room and said to me: "The deceased and the murderer are half-brothers and sisters, and the deceased is an illegitimate daughter. When the murderer's father died, his will stated that he left most of the estate to the deceased, the murderer's half-sister, and he killed his sister in order to keep the inheritance for himself......"

I listened and began to be silent, is the allure of money really so great? Maybe money is a bloodless knife that kills people......
