After getting the list of all the studios, Chen Yi began to find someone to inquire about the public welfare art exhibition, half a month ago.

That was Cai Wenwen's last noteworthy outing in recent times, and if the notes she left behind were very complete and not missing, then Cai Wenwen would have been in Qiu Wenshu's oil painting studio for the rest of the time.

If there is no problem with the oil painting studio, there is a high possibility that there are clues in the public welfare art exhibition.

The public welfare art exhibition is a relatively unpopular social activity, and it will be more troublesome to let the people in the team check the process, Chen Yi tried to ask in the group, but he didn't expect to get feedback quickly.

[Officer Chen, won't it be another investigation, right? ] Our group is about to become your work group, I know the public welfare art exhibition you said, I donated 30,000 yuan when I raised funds, and I soaked a staff member inside, who was responsible for on-site photography. 】

After typing this sentence, Ruan Tao did not forget to send a photo, which is a very innocent girl with glasses, cute and petite.

The group started a discussion.

The group of young and rich second generations, the topic is always inseparable from girls.

Chen Yi: You have violated other people's portrait rights and privacy, which is excessive.

He knows very well what virtues some of his friends have, and he can play, but his unscrupulous discussion is somewhat disrespectful.

Ruan Tao hurriedly withdrew, since Chen Yi became a criminal policeman, everyone's immoral behavior has been reined in a lot.

Chen Yi: The contact information and name were sent to me privately, thank you.

Seeing the mobile phone number that appeared in WeChat, Chen Yi dialed it, and after connecting, he indicated the identity of the criminal police of the Municipal Bureau, and proposed that he wanted to meet him, and it was best to go to the public welfare exhibition venue to have a look.

The girl's name is Ning Fang, and her voice is a little sassy, Chen Yi personally doesn't like the girl very much, and she almost didn't have goosebumps.

Listening to the accent, it should be a foreigner from the south of his hometown.

"Officer Chen, I don't have the key, the key is with the leader."

Chen Yi said: "You give me the leader's contact information, and I will send someone to get it." ”

Ning Fang: "Okay." ”

After that, Qin Fei was in charge of getting the key, Chen Yi drove the first to the exhibition venue, and saw Ning Fang at the door who had been waiting for a long time, she was relatively close, and hung up the phone and came over.

"Hello, I'm Chen Yi." Chen Yi smiled and said hello to the girl.

Listening to Ruan Tao's meaning, so far he has kept in touch with Ning Fang in front of him, a friend of a friend, and he can be regarded as a friend.

Ning Fang looked at Chen Yi curiously: "Ruan Tao still has friends who are criminal policemen in the city bureau?" ”

Chen Yi: "I've known each other for a long time. ”

Ning Fang: "Oh...... Is there anything wrong with the charity exhibition? It's been over for half a month. ”

Chen Yi: "There is a case involving a public welfare art exhibition, come and find out, I'm really embarrassed to come with a meal, and I'll invite you to eat later." ”

Ning Fang refused: "Forget it, let's let Ruan Tao invite me to dinner." ”

There was a hint of vigilance in her eyes, which made the corners of Chen Yi's mouth twitch slightly, thinking to herself that this woman wouldn't think I had anything to think of her, right?

It's a bit of a common faith.

Qin Fei arrived quickly, and the three of them entered the venue.

When the lights are turned on, the spacious art gallery comes into view, with a banner hanging above it, still unremoved, with the theme of the exhibition.

The surrounding walls are covered with a variety of paintings, ranging from meticulous to bold and bold to intense, and the soft lighting on the canvas adds a touch of charm to each painting.

Chen Yi watched it for a while and then got to the point: "You should have a lot of live videos here, right?" ”

This is the main reason why she and Ning Fang met, relative to surveillance, the scene video can see more details.

Ning Fang nodded: "Yes, do you want to see it?" ”

Chen Yi: "Is it convenient?" ”

Ning Fang: "It's convenient and convenient, it's all in my phone, and I've backed it up." ”

As she spoke, she took out her mobile phone, Chen Yi was just about to pick it up, but the other party offered to add WeChat to Chen Yi and send it over, unwilling to let Chen Yi look at his mobile phone.

Chen Yi didn't say anything, mobile phones are very private things, very normal.

After the two added WeChat, Ning Fang sent a lot of videos, and Chen Yi clicked on the first one and watched it while shopping.

In the video, there are not many people in the exhibition hall, some stop to admire, some discuss with each other, and in the atmosphere of art, it is quiet and peaceful.

The exhibition hall has set up a number of interactive areas, so that everyone can have a deeper understanding of the connotation of painting, some areas are placed in the painters' creative process and experience sharing, and some areas are set up to set up a painting experience area, so that the audience can try the fun of painting while appreciating.

Chen Yi looked quickly, he was looking for Cai Wenwen's figure, and finally near the exhibition area of abstract paintings, he saw Cai Wenwen.

There are not many people who like abstract paintings, and those who pass by just look at them curiously for a while and then lose interest, and stay for a short time.

As Qiu Wenshu said, at this time, she was already obsessed with abstract painting and basically determined her creative field.

She walked slowly with a small bag on her back, occasionally stopping to quietly admire the painting in front of her.

It is impossible for the camera to focus on Cai Wenwen alone, Chen Yi needs to keep clicking on it to depict Cai Wenwen's activity trajectory in his mind.

During this period, there were men who came forward to talk, but the time was very short, it should have been rejected by Cai Wenwen, the picture was very clear, and Chen Yi's screenshot saved the clearest face photo of each man.

"Two minutes, two minutes, four minutes, five minutes, fifteen minutes......"

Chen Yi calculates the length of time Cai Wenwen spends in front of each painting to determine her interests and preferences, which may be used in the future, and he will not let go of any details.

Ning Fang lost his patience a little, it had been almost an hour, and Chen Yi was still staring at his phone, swaying back and forth in the exhibition hall.

Just when she wanted to say something, Chen Yi stopped and turned back and asked, "Are there famous paintings or paintings by masters here?" ”

Ning Fang replied, "Yes." ”

Chen Yi: "Genuine or fake?" ”

Ning Fang was slightly stunned, hesitated for two seconds and said, "Of course it's genuine." ”

Chen Yi didn't talk about this matter with the other party, and continued to ask, "Is the author here?" ”

Ning Fang: "No, we are a public welfare art exhibition, and it is difficult to invite famous painting authors to come. ”

Chen Yi didn't ask any more questions, and after grasping Cai Wenwen's situation at the art exhibition, he and Qin Fei left the venue, and returned the key to Ning Fang and asked her to hand it over on her behalf.

Ning Fang, this girl Chen Yi is not very cold, her personality is impetuous, she is also a little hypocritical, and she has a mysterious confidence in herself, it is not surprising that Ruan Tao can easily soak her.

"Let Jiang Xiaoxin call up the surrounding surveillance to see where Cai Wenwen went after leaving the venue that day, and whether she was alone." Chen Yi said to Qin Fei.

Cai Wenwen who left was not captured in the video, whether she left alone or not needs to be confirmed.

If one person comes and two people go, then the other person has to be investigated.

Qin Fei: "Okay Team Chen." ”

Chen Yi: "Let's go, go back to the city bureau." ”

On the way, Qin Fei drove the car, and Chen Yi said to Ruan Tao in the group and expressed his gratitude again.

[How are people?] Not bad, right? Ruan Tao asked.

Chen Yi: Not very good.

Ruan Tao: ......

Chen Yi did not reply, put away his mobile phone and continued to think about the case.

Judging from the video, Cai Wenwen is not abnormal in the public welfare art exhibition, and she does not know any irrelevant people, and when you investigate the guys who accosted you, it can basically be ruled out that the public welfare art exhibition has nothing to do with Cai Wenwen's death.

It depends on whether the other waves of visitors have gained something.

Back at the city bureau, Chen Yi came to the technical department, Lu Yongqiang was busy, and it seemed that he had a new clue.

"What's the situation?" Chen Yi walked over and asked.

Lu Yongqiang was carefully reconstructing the footprints, and said, "Team Chen, there are a lot of footprints extracted from the stairs, I don't know if there are any suspects among them." ”

Chen Yi: "Is there a very thin man?" ”

"Very skinny man?" Lu Yongqiang recalled slightly, then stood up and rummaged, picked up a rubbing map and handed it to Chen Yi, "Look at this footprint, the arch of the foot is very high, the foot shape is very thin, the pressure on the sole of the foot is uneven, the weight pressure is obvious, the edge of the footprint is not complete, the rise and fall feet are high, the pedal marks are obvious, he is a thin man, and the height should be more than one meter eight, and the weight is about one hundred and twenty pounds." ”

Chen Yi took the picture and looked at it carefully, and said, "Man, right?" ”

Lu Yongqiang: "It should be a man, with long and wide feet, long foot bones, and a high center of gravity and big strides." ”

Holding the picture, Chen Yi turned around and left the technical department.

When he came to the office, he opened the file of the Ningcheng case, compared the footprints in his hand with the suspect in the file, except for the pattern, it was completely consistent, and he was basically sure that this person was the murderer.

"Heredity? Or chronic malnutrition? ”

The portrait of the murderer is becoming clearer, but there is a lack of more direct clues.

After pondering for a while, Chen Yi put away the footprints in his hand and began to look through the "Art World" that he took back from Cai Wenwen's house.

The first was a journal of the year before.

When you open the homepage, you will see a catalog.

Features, People, Behind the Scenes, New Media, Reading, Columns...... All-encompassing, the information is miscellaneous.

Chen Yi did not select the pages related to oil paintings, but carefully looked through them one by one.

has no purpose, just wants to know more about Cai Wenwen, and the truth is often hidden in the details.

He watched slowly.

Time passed slowly, and when one of the pages was opened, Chen Yi's gaze froze and he saw a very familiar abstract painting.

took out his mobile phone to find a screenshot of the video, and Chen Yi placed the mobile phone side by side with the abstract painting in front of him, exactly the same.

He remembered that Cai Wenwen stayed in front of this picture for the longest time at that time, and he should have liked it very much.

Abstract painting cannot be said to be beautiful, and there is no or very little similarity with natural objects, but it has a strong artistic composition form and is very visually impactful.

"Quchuan ......"

Chen Yi silently recited the author's name, and then searched on the Internet, this person was thirty-seven years old, eight years ago no one knew, and then the hand-painted Seven Emotions series of abstract paintings became famous in one fell swoop, and the price of each painting has now been speculated to millions of dollars.

In the field of oil painting, he can be called a genius-type young talent.

After scanning Quchuan's information, Chen Yi continued to search for his recent itinerary, and when he saw the word Yangcheng, he almost jumped up like a reflex.

Quchuan is in Yangcheng.

But......

"He's a fat man."

Chen Yi frowned, Qu Chuan's height and weight were in the information, which did not match the suspect at all, even if the information was fake, the photo would not be fake, he was indeed fat.

"It's too sensitive."

Chen Yi continued to look behind him, and soon saw another oil painting, which also appeared in the public welfare art exhibition.

"It seems that they are all fakes, and the main purpose is to raise money for charity, and everyone knows it."

He leaned back in his chair and rubbed his eyebrows, the clue shouldn't be here, but it needs to be checked.

After half a ring, he took a sip of water and continued to look through it.

There are more than a dozen books in total, and I need to read them all tonight.

……

The investigation of Cai Wenwen's interpersonal relationship lasted for two days, and under the comprehensive coverage, all her recent itineraries have been picked up, as long as the acquaintances and nodding friends who can be found are on the list.

The suitor has ruled out suspicion, his height and weight do not match, and he has ample alibi.

The external monitoring of the public welfare art exhibition was also checked, and Cai Wenwen left alone in a taxi after leaving the venue, without anyone else accompanying her.

The place of getting off the bus was the community where Cai's family was located, and she went home directly.

In Cai Wenwen's life, there is no abnormal situation, and no stranger intrudes into her life, if the murderer's target is clearly to go to Cai Wenwen, then this person's anti-reconnaissance ability is beyond Chen Yi's imagination.

The city bureau cleaned up a room and used it as a meeting place for the task force, and on the third night, everyone gathered to start comparing the lists.

In the past few days, Qin He and Xie Yunzhi have commanded by phone, allowing the subordinates of Imperial City and Ningcheng to check the victim's interpersonal relationship again, this time covering a very wide area, and the Imperial City side even alarmed the leaders of the university.

Three dense lists were placed on the table, and they were quickly scanned by computer, and everyone present was silenced.

There are no points of coincidence.

Qin He's face was a little unpleasant, the previous inference was already very reasonable, if he couldn't find it, then how should he check it next? Even if there are suspicious people.

The reality is cruel, not to mention the overlap of the three victims, there is no overlap between the two and two.

These three people are completely independent individuals in the three cities, and there is no intersection with each other, and there is no relationship between friends.

"His grandmother's, there are only three possibilities left." Qin He's voice was cold, echoing in the room, "First, the way of contact between the murderer and the victim returns to the primitive, the communication between them is only known to each other, and outsiders can't check it, second, the Internet, and third, the dusty old things that were sealed many years ago." ”

"What do you think? Is there a fourth possibility? ”

He didn't mention random killings.

After speaking, Qin He looked at Chen Yi and Xie Yunzhi.

The two shook their heads.

Xie Yunzhi spoke: "Team Qin, Bi Xuelan in Ningcheng doesn't use a computer, she only has a mobile phone to access the Internet, but we have already thoroughly investigated the mobile phone, and she didn't have new friends to keep in touch with at that time, and old friends and relatives did not have the motive and conditions to commit the crime. ”

Qin He: "Did you do data recovery?" ”

Xie Yunzhi: "It's done." ”

Qin He was silent for a while and said, "That's the first and third possibility, and it's also the last possibility we want to see." ”

He didn't use the four words to find a needle in a haystack, but everyone understood.

Chen Yi: "The network can't give up, arrange people to do this until the task force is disbanded or the murderer is brought to justice." ”

Qin He nodded: "I brought two people from the Imperial City, let them be in charge, Chen Zhi, have you made any new discoveries in the past few days?" ”

The Yangcheng case has only happened a few days ago, and Cai Wenwen is the focus of the task force.

Chen Yi touched the cigarette case on the table, but did not smoke: "If I take out the Yangcheng case alone, I tend to be related to painting, and then more concretely, abstract oil painting, because Cai Wenwen's only change in recent times is that she is obsessed with the creation of abstract paintings." ”

"However, with the God City case and the Ning Cheng case, I really can't figure out what they have in common, and I have even begun to suspect the possibility of random killings by age and sex characteristics, and the murderer wants to kill young women, and there are no other factors."

These remarks undoubtedly made the case even more difficult.
