Chapter 913: Simple Secret Room
In You Lv's house, most of the paintings are figure paintings, and he has painted many people, among them Meng Ting, and Meng Ting on the painting is very weird. In addition, You Lu also painted other paintings, I remember that when I took Jiang Jun and my mother to You Lu's house, You Lu was finishing a painting in the studio.
The painting is made up of simple color blocks, from the white color block, slowly carry out the color gradient, and finally end into a black color block, white is the starting point, black is the end point, the middle color block slowly carries out the color transition, the color of each color block is different, but if you take out the two color blocks that are connected separately, the color difference between the two connected color blocks is not obvious, and it can even be said to be close.
Put the color block in the overall picture, but you can clearly distinguish the difference in the color of the outstanding block. This painting, which does not depict landscapes or figures, seems to be one of the few abstract paintings painted by You Lu, and it is the only work I have seen that is different from other paintings.
However, this painting, after being viewed by us, was thrown into the trash by You Lu. When we first saw the painting, You Lu said that he was very satisfied with the painting, but after we looked at it carefully, You Lu changed his mind again, saying that the painting was a failed painting, so You Lu was going to throw it away.
Later, when I went to Meng Ting's house again, I found that Meng Ting secretly put away the painting again, and Meng Ting put away the painting because she felt that the painting was very successful, and it was You Lu's hard work, and it was a pity to throw it away. Such a little episode is worth pondering, and I seem to have captured something.
I told everyone about the painting, and Shen Cheng asked me if there was something strange about the painting. I nodded, there are many strange things about that painting, to sum up, firstly, that painting is not quite the same as other paintings painted by You Lu, and secondly, there are many paintings of You Lu in His home, and there are many works that You Lu is not completely satisfied with, but he only threw away that painting.
That painting looks very complicated, but if you look closely, you can find that this painting is composed of many individual small color blocks, small color blocks, everyone can paint, very simple, but You Lu can use the color transition and the overall layout of the color blocks to build the painting, which makes people feel very complicated.
If you think about each painting painted by You Lu, the artistic components are arranged, and the paintings created by You Lu are not very complicated, and can even be said to be simple. You Travel also always insists on using the simplest creative techniques and using the art of color to make a painting perfect.
It is still the view of criminal psychology portrait, a person's character or life characteristics can often be expressed in the methods of crime, and this manifestation is generally unconscious. You Lu is an avid artist, and there is no doubt that there is no inevitable conflict between him and whether he is a murderer or not.
A person's mind can be ever-changing, but a person's habits often cannot be forcibly changed. If he is a murderer, he may not directly apply his habits to his criminal methods, but his criminal methods may affect his criminal methods.
I thought about it carefully, this seemingly complicated secret room, if you imagine it as You Lu's painting, then this secret room can be called You Lu's work. The works that You Lu has created look very complicated, but if you take apart each part of the painting and look at it individually, it is not complicated, and it can even be said to be simple.
Shen Cheng had already deduced that Xiong Wancheng had escaped by using the window, and the only unresolved problem was how Xiong Wancheng had inserted the latch of the window from the outside after leaving the house. We have speculated before that Xiong Wancheng has no way to leave too much blood at the crime scene like the murderer, but he must have imitated the murderer's method of creating a secret room.
Xiong Wancheng can't guarantee that the crime will not leave blood stains at the crime scene, but he can create a secret room, which seems to show that this secret room is not as complicated as we imagined, it is the other clues in this secret room, not the secret room itself. I set my eyes on the window, which I already imagined to be part of You Lu's paintings.
I walked over slowly, the structure of this window is very similar to the window of the staff dormitory building of the power supply bureau, after I approached the window, I asked Shen Cheng: "Have you thought of some simple way, can you fasten the latch from the outside?" ”
Shen Cheng was slightly stunned, and then took a closer look. Soon, Shen Cheng walked around the room, and after a while, Shen Cheng seemed to have got something, and he leaned over and fiddled with the latch of the window. Soon, Shen Cheng opened the window again and jumped out. Under everyone's gaze, Shen Cheng closed the window from the outside, and with a pull of his hand, the latch of the window was buckled into the slot of the latch.
Shen Cheng found a very ordinary string in the room, and after that, he tied the string to one end of the latch and tied a slipknot that could be easily untied. When the window was closed, the string went through the gap and went outside the window with Shen Cheng's people.
When the slipknot was pulled, the latch that was originally screwed on the left to ensure that the window could be opened was screwed to the middle, and with Shen Cheng's arm pulling, the slipknot was untied, and the string was pulled outside by Shen Cheng through the gap in the window, and the latch was easily inserted into the slot of the latch.
Simple, crisp, but effective.
I also demonstrated the method I came up with, I didn't use a string, I just turned the latch to the left and middle position, at this time, the state of the latch still ensures that the window can be opened and closed normally, because the latch is not put down. I jumped out and carefully closed the window.
When the window was closed, I shook it a few times with a slight force, and with a crisp sound I remembered that the latch between the left and the middle, after being shaken, had a slight bargain, and the latch was once again snapped into the latch's slot.
Immediately afterwards, whether it was Liu Jia or Shen Nuo, they all came up with other ways to close the window from the outside, and these methods were equally simple. In the old-fashioned house, the security of the windows is not high, Tang Yingxuan was a little surprised, he said, if it was really that simple, why didn't any of us think of it at that time.
"That's the beauty of You Lu's paintings, if we show a part of his painting in front of us, we will think it is very simple, but if we put that part in the whole painting, it will be incomprehensible. In the painting of the secret room, the window is only a part of the painting, and the other parts that make up the painting, together with the window, constitute the serial murder case of the woman in red! I replied.
The background of this painting is the haze of the woman in red. When we entered this secret room, because Lao Zhang mentioned the woman in red, everyone's face changed drastically, including Zhao Da, who was shrouded in the haze of the woman in red, everyone's mind was uncertain, they couldn't wait to leave the crime scene as soon as possible, so they didn't think about the window.
And the other components of the painting, as well as the eerie sounds that the neighbors hear every night, and the blood stains in the house, which can be said to be almost non-existent. Everything is diverting the attention of others, and in the case of being frightened, they are attracted by other mysteries, and no one cares about such a simple window.
This is against other people, and against me, the method used by the murderer is: Xu Yi's bracelet. When I saw Xu Yi's bracelet, my mind was spinning and I completely lost the ability to think. After that, the corpse disappeared, and one strange incident after another followed.
Shen Cheng and Lu Nan have long judged that the murderer will not create these incidents in order to simply scare people, which is interfering with my case. The first time I didn't find the problem with the window, after that, Zhao Da and I went to the scene of the murder again, and that time, I also didn't think that the murderer might use such a simple principle to escape from the scene, because I found the clock in the house, that is, the early warning information left by the murderer.
The early warning message once again drew my attention to the power supply bureau.
The rest of the painting is the strange sounds, the sparse blood stains in the room, and all sorts of other weird events.
