Miss Cheng?

I don't know why, as soon as I heard this title, Liu Xiangnan's mind inexplicably matched Cheng Jie.

It's just that she thinks that the world is so big, and there are many people with the surname Cheng.

The person who bought the portrait of Yuan Shi Tianzun is not necessarily Cheng Jie.

"Not for sale? Good. ”

After the service staff hung up the phone, he said apologetically: "I can't help you, the guests like this painting very much and don't want to sell it." ”

Liu Xiangnan also wanted to ask the other party's contact information for Miss Cheng, but the service staff didn't give it.

Worried that if they wanted to go down again, others would doubt their identity, so Liu Xiangnan had no choice but to thank them.

"Sorry for your trouble, thank you."

After Liu Xiangnan thanked the service staff, he pulled the road to the north and walked out of the gallery with some disappointment.

"What do we do now?"

Liu Xiangnan frowned, originally thinking that he would be able to get the painting and reconnect the clues, but he didn't expect it to be broken.

Lu Xiangbei said softly, "Don't worry, since this painting is hanging in the art gallery, let's contact the owner of the art gallery, maybe we have some understanding." ”

"That's right! Look at me, I'm in a hurry, and my brain doesn't turn in circles. ”

Liu Xiangnan hurriedly took out the contact information that Li Duoli gave her and dialed the phone number above.

*

Inside the café.

Liu Xiangnan looked at the time on his phone.

Half past four in the afternoon.

At this time, there was a knock on the door of the private room, and Liu Xiangnan went to open the door and saw a girl who was about the same age as her.

"Malt?"

Liu Xiangnan asked tentatively.

Li Duoli gave her contact information with the name of her classmate, called Malt.

Very special name.

Malt's eyes widened in surprise when he saw her.

"Liu Xiangnan?"

Liu Xiangnan was a little confused: "You know me?" ”

"Of course! You are the wife of Lu Xiangbei, who of our A University doesn't know you! ”

Liu Xiangnan was right to think about it.

Since the marriage in A Yamato Road to the north spread, the students and teachers in the school have been very polite to her.

"You may be seated."

Liu Xiangnan invited the malt in.

After the malt entered, he found that there was a man sitting in the private room.

After seeing clearly that it was Lu Xiangbei, she stretched out her hand a little nervously, "Lu, Mr. Lu, hello!" ”

She thought it was Liu Xiangnan alone, so she didn't look at it at all.

Right now......

What to do?

Lu Xiangbei will blame her for not discovering him in the first place, what if she doesn't respect him?

"Hello Miss Mai."

Lu Xiangbei is not a character who gets angry for no reason, and does not torture people at will.

He stretched out his hand and shook Malt's hand politely.

Malt didn't expect that he would be able to shake hands with Lu Xiangbei in his lifetime, and he was worried.

After a simple greeting, Liu Xiangnan went straight to the point.

"Mr. Mai, do you know anything about this painting?"

She showed the statue of Yuan Shi Tianzun on her mobile phone to Mai Mai, and after Mai Mai looked at it, she quickly said, "Do you like this painting?" I paint a lot at home! I can give you one. ”

Liu Xiangnan frowned, painted a lot?

"Excuse me, where did you hear about this painting? Have you ever seen the original of this painting? ”

Malt heard this and realized something.

"Have you seen the original of this painting?"

"Not really, but I once saw this painting at another friend's house, and he hung it for years and then lost it. My friend had been thinking about getting the painting back. I happened to see it on Li Duoli's mobile phone, and I thought that your painting was lost by my friend. ”

"That's right."

Malt thought for a while and told Liu Xiangnan everything she knew.

"This painting was brought back by my father, someone asked my father to copy the painting, and the other party asked my father to paint ten pieces, and my father thought that the statue of Yuan Shi Tianzun was a little special, so he painted a few more and asked me to send it to the gallery to hang."

Liu Xiangnan grabbed a point: "Then may I ask, do you know who asked your father to draw the painting?" ”

Malt shook his head: "But I can call now and ask my dad." ”

"Okay, I'm sorry for you."

Malt called, and the call was quickly connected.

"Dad, do you know how to draw with you...... Father! What happened to you? ”

"Dad?"

"Dad!"

Malt stood up, his face flustered, and tears fell uncontrollably.

Liu Xiangnan sensed that something was wrong, and stepped forward to comfort: "Classmate Mai, what's wrong with Ling Zun?" ”

Malt looked at Liu Xiangnan tremblingly, "I, I heard the gunshot......"

Gunshot!

Liu Xiangnan looked at Lu Xiangbei, and Lu Xiangbei's expression was more serious.

"Don't worry, Mr. Mai, you tell me your father's mobile phone number, and I will report the case to the police and locate your father's current location."

Malt nodded, her hands trembling and pressing the screen, probably so nervous that she couldn't turn on her phone several times in a row.

Seeing this, Liu Xiangnan motioned for her to come.

After learning the password, Liu Xiangnan flipped through the address book and found the note "Dad", and after confirming that it was the phone number of Malt's father, she took it to Lu Xiangbei.

Lu Xiangbei arranged Guo Chao's positioning on his mobile phone, and soon, the location of the mobile phone was determined.

The three of them drove there, and on the way there, they didn't forget to call the police.

By the time they arrived, the police had already begun to count the scene.

"The deceased, Mai Xuan, 48 years old, died by gunfire and a blow to the head......"

"Dad!"

When Mai arrived, what she heard was that the police had confirmed her father's death, and she wanted to rush over, but was stopped by the police, "The evidence at the scene should be preserved, please forgive the family." ”

Liu Xiangnan hugged the malt and gently patted her back to comfort her.

Half an hour later.

The mood in the malt field has stabilized, and the police have also begun to come and investigate.

"May I ask if Mai Xuan has had a grudge against anyone before?"

Malt shook his head: "I don't know, but I feel that my father has no enemies, he is a taciturn painter." ”

"Did you hear any voices or other movements at the time of the incident?"

Malt shook his head: "No ......"

Thinking of the situation at that time, Malt cried again.

The investigation could not continue, so the police had to suspend it first.

Considering the possibility of vendetta killing, it will affect the malt, and the police have also sent people to protect the malt.

Lu Xiangbei received a call that there was an overseas meeting to be held.

Liu Xiangnan had no choice but to say goodbye to the malt and leave with the road to the north.

Along the way, Liu Xiangnan's mood was extremely heavy.

If one thing is a coincidence, then one after another coincidences is a deliberate act of one party.

As soon as she found the portrait of Yuan Shi Tianzun on her front foot, she was bought.

Forget it after buying it, at the moment it may be the only person who knows the origin of the portrait and has been killed!

"The one who killed Mai Xuan, isn't it...... The head of the Jin family? ”
