(The name of Qu Chuan in the previous chapter was wrong and has been revised.) ）

……

Qu Chuan did not leave Yangcheng, he was resting in the hotel when he was contacted, his attitude was not good, his tone was very impatient, and after learning the identity of the caller's criminal police, he even hung up the phone directly.

Qin Fei was not light.

Chen Yi was not used to him, so he asked Jiang Xiaoxin to check Quchuan's room opening record, and called a few more police officers to stand directly at the door of a five-star hotel room.

After knocking on the door for a long time, the door opened, and Qu Chuan's figure appeared in front of Chen Yi, his clothes were a little messy, as if he had just put them on in a hurry.

"Who?!"

Qu Chuan was in a very bad mood, with anger, the real person was fatter than the photo, the fat on his face was round, and he had a big belly.

Height, no more than 1.75 meters.

Chen Yi determined that the footprints left at the place where the crime was found would definitely not come from the person in front of him.

"The criminal police of the Yangcheng City Bureau, I was on the phone with Mr. Qu just now, and I was disturbed." Chen Yi spoke.

Hearing this, Qu Chuan became even more angry: "Didn't I say I was busy?" Can't wait? Isn't it appropriate for you to come directly to the door? ”

There are those who are famous and modest, and there are those who are famous, and Qu Chuan obviously belongs to the latter.

It's not a good thing to be too crazy, sooner or later.

At present, there is no evidence to prove that Qu Chuan is related to this case, Chen Yi is patient, and said politely: "Mr. Qu, we are investigating a major criminal case, there are some things I want to know from you, is it convenient?" ”

Qu Chuan was very direct: "It's inconvenient! Busy! ”

Chen Yi moved his gaze downward, glanced at the red mark on Qu Chuan's neck, and said, "Busy with the golden house to hide Jiao? ”

"Huh?" Qu Chuan was not happy, "Why do you little policeman talk like this, be careful that I complain about you!" ”

Chen Yi: "Mr. Qu, let me repeat, we are investigating a major criminal case, and there are clues that you are suspected to be related to the case, if you refuse to cooperate, then we can only change places." ”

Qu Chuan sneered: "Scare me? You don't ask who I am, and you want to take me away without any evidence, have you consulted the leader? When the reporter blocks the door, I'll see how they end. ”

Chen Yi said lightly: "It's a good ending, tell them what the hell the famous painter Qu Chuan is doing in the hotel, and you don't need to ask the leader, I am Chen Yi, the head of the criminal investigation detachment of the Yangcheng City Bureau, just ask yourself." ”

Qu Chuan was stunned for a moment, looked at the young man in front of him again, and said suspiciously: "Really? ”

Chen Yi: "Don't talk nonsense, do you deserve to cooperate?" ”

After saying that, he raised his hand slightly, as if ready to beckon his subordinates to take control of him.

Qu Chuan was somewhat frightened, the detachment leader was already a very high position in a city, and his power was not small, although he was unhappy, he did not want to offend in his heart.

"Alright, alright, come in." He looked reluctant.

Walking into the room, Chen Yi looked left and right, there were separate bedrooms in the suite, and there were two of them, and now the bedroom doors were closed.

"What about people?" He spoke.

Qu Chuan turned his head and wondered, "Who is it?" ”

Chen Yi: "Woman. ”

Qu Chuan frowned: "Captain Chen, aren't you investigating the so-called major criminal case?" My personal affairs have nothing to do with the case, right? ”

Chen Yi: "Whether it matters or not, call her out." ”

Qu Chuan: "You ......"

Chen Yi: "Routine ward rounds, prevention and crackdown on pornography, gambling and drug crimes, please cooperate." ”

Qu Chuan was annoyed: "Routine ward rounds? You're clearly targeting me. ”

Chen Yi: "I didn't target anyone, if you are not satisfied, you can respond to the superiors, don't you like to complain?" ”

Qu Chuan couldn't bear it anymore, and was about to argue with Chen Yi, when the bedroom door opened, and the girl who had already dressed stood there timidly, a little scared.

Across the door, she could hear what was happening outside.

Chen Yi looked over, the girl was twenty-four or five years old, very young, like a college student who had just graduated, although her clothes had been put on, her hair was slightly messy.

No wonder Qu Chuan on the phone was so impatient before, it turned out that there was a good thing, and when a man was interrupted when he was happy, he would not be in a good mood.

"You two, say each other's names." Chen Yi spoke.

There is no problem with the two, they know each other's names, and the girl is still a fan of Qu Chuan.

Judging from Qu Chuan's first impression of him, it is greasy and obscene, and it is not strange that the other party can behave like sleeping fans, but it is strange not to sleep.

"Teacher Qu, I'm ...... I'll go first. ”

After the questioning, the girl quickly slipped away, her face flushed with shame.

Qu Chuan was inexplicably crazy, and finally met a little girl who was smart, so he was stirred up by the police.

"What the hell is going on?? I spend most of my time in the hotel, and when I go out, I attend events, so what major criminal case can involve me? ”

After sitting down angrily, he picked up the cigarette case on the coffee table.

Chen Yi: "Murder, many lives. ”

it!

Qu Chuan was startled, his hands trembled, and the lighter fell to the ground.

He didn't pick it up, and looked at Chen Yi in astonishment: "Captain Chen, what does the life lawsuit have to do with me?!" ”

Chen Yi: "After 1 p.m. on May 9, before 2 a.m. the next day, where were you?" ”

"May 9th?" Qu Chuan recalled, "I was in the hotel. ”

Chen Yi: "Is this a hotel?" ”

Qu Chuan: "That's right. ”

Chen Yi: "With whom?" ”

Qu Chuan was reluctant to answer, but he didn't dare to lie when he was involved in the murder case, and said: "With a fan, she can prove it to me." ”

Chen Yi: "Not the one just now?" ”

Qu Chuan: "No. ”

Chen Yi was speechless, how many have you slept on.

Girls are more sensual, and their worship psychology is stronger than that of men, if they really take Qu Chuan as an idol, their appearance disadvantages will be greatly reduced, and men will be different, they like to be beautiful, at least not too ugly.

"Name, contact details." Chen Yi asked.

Qu Chuan was helpless, took out his mobile phone and rummaged through it, and said the mobile phone number and name of the fan.

Very strange, neither Cai Wenwen nor in Cai Wenwen's interpersonal relationships.

Chen Yi found Cai Wenwen's photo: "Have you seen it?" ”

Qu Chuan approached, and his eyes lit up: "What a beautiful girl, who?" At first glance, he has artistic talent, and he is also a painter, right? ”

Chen Yi found the photo of Fang Dandan again: "Have you seen it?" ”

Qu Chuan shook his head: "No." ”

After that, it was Zhao Xiaoyan, Xia Qingwen, and Bi Xuelan, and the other party said that they had never seen it.

Chen Yi: "Did you go to Ningcheng two years ago?" ”

Qu Chuan thought for a while, nodded and said, "I've been there." ”

Chen Yi: "What are you going to do?" ”

Qu Chuan: "I was invited by the organizer to attend an art exhibition. ”

Chen Yi: "Is it in an exhibition hall?" ”

Qu Chuan: "That's right. ”

Chen Yi has the impression that the dossier lists in detail the trajectory of Bi Xuelan's activities in the early days of the case, including the exhibition hall, which was accompanied by her daughter, because her daughter learned to paint and brought her past to see the world and broaden her horizons.

Chen Yi: "Did you go to the Imperial City four years ago?" ”

"Imperial City?" This time, Qu Chuan thought for a long time, "I must have been there, what month is it?" ”

Chen Yi: "Before and after the Qingming Festival. ”

Qu Chuan: "Qingming Festival? That's not right, I'm in Jincheng on Qingming Day, I have to go back to sweep the tomb, every year. ”

Chen Yi: "With your parents, right?" ”

Qu Chuan: "Yes, in addition to my parents, there are other relatives in my family, and there are many people. ”

Talking about this, Chen Yi further ruled out Qu Chuan's suspicion of committing the crime.

The footprints do not match, the most important thing is that the alibi of the Imperial City case and the Yangcheng case is very sufficient, and it doesn't take much effort to check it, just make a few phone calls.

"Go check."

"Yes, Team Chen."

Qin Fei left the room.

Chen Yi's thinking moved, is it in the wrong direction? The victim has nothing to do with the Seven Emotions series of oil paintings?

But why the inference is so reasonable and flawless, the murderer's obsessive-compulsive disorder makes the whole case unassailable, and it is not a coincidence that it can be explained at all.

Seeing that Chen Yi's face softened, Qu Chuan guessed that he should be fine, so he picked up the lighter on the ground and lit the cigarette in his hand, but did not hand it to Chen Yi out of politeness.

Chen Yi glanced at Qu Chuan.

In the past, everyone fell into a misunderstanding in terms of the motive for committing the crime, looking for the common ground of the victims, but today in the video conference, the direction was changed from looking for common ground to looking for differences, which extended the big concept of the upper level.

This big concept is emotion.

Chen Yi personally thinks that it is quite reasonable, and this issue needs to be talked to the author himself, Qu Chuan.

"Mr. Qu, can you talk about the original intention of the Seven Emotions series of oil paintings?"

When it came to his profession, Qu Chuan was interested, and his hostility towards Chen Yi weakened, and he seemed to forget that the other party had just mixed up his good deeds: "Does Captain Chen also understand oil painting?" ”

Chen Yi: "I don't know very much, if you want to understand, can you talk about it in detail?" ”

Qu Chuan smiled: "Of course you can, what are the seven feelings?" Joy, anger, sorrow, fear, love, evil, and desire, these seven emotions are the cornerstones of human emotions, and they are intertwined in our daily life and constitute a rich and colorful emotional world. ”

"For me, as an oil painting artist, using these seven emotions as the theme is a very challenging and in-depth subject."

"When creating this series of oil paintings, I hope to concretize abstract emotions through artistic processing, so that the viewer can intuitively feel the unique charm of each emotion."

"Captain Chen, oil painting also has language, understand? Color, line, and composition all belong to the language of oil painting, the joy of joy, the intensity of anger, the sorrow of sorrow, the tension of fear, the warmth of love, the coldness of evil, and the desire of desire. ”

There is a specialization in the art industry, Chen Yi listens very seriously, although the fat man in front of him is not very good, his artistic attainments are not low, he speaks one by one, the contrast is obvious, no wonder he is liked by female fans.

"Do these paintings only want to express human emotions?" He asked.

Qu Chuan replied: "Of course not, I hope that through this series of oil paintings, I will explore the relationship between emotion and human nature, do you understand human nature?" Every emotion is the embodiment of human nature, emotion, is the bridge between us and the outside world, but also a reflection of our inner world. ”

"By digging deep into the connotation of each emotion, we can deeply understand human nature and more accurately grasp the complexity and diversity of our human emotions."

Chen Yi looked at Qu Chuan, who was talking eloquently, and said, "Let's talk about the creative process again?" ”

The more Qu Chuan said, the more excited he became: "Okay, the Seven Emotions series of oil paintings is a ladder for me to challenge the limits of art, emotion is an extremely complex and elusive subject, and it is not easy to express it accurately." ”

"In the process of creation, I need to constantly try new expressions and techniques, and constantly break through my artistic boundaries, in order to be able to create works that have both depth and artistic appeal."

"I believe that after the perfect end of the Seven Emotions series of oil paintings, these seven works will definitely be able to last for centuries, Captain Chen, if you are interested, I can give you a few rubbings, go back and enjoy them slowly."

Chen Yi blinked his eyes, stared at Qu Chuan and said, "Mr. Qu is polite, your works are so famous, you can see them in many places, so there is no need to rub the book." ”

Qu Chuan didn't insist, and said with a smile: "The price of the original painting is very high, it's a pity that I can't give it to Captain Chen, if you like it, you can go to the next art exhibition to see it." ”

Chen Yi inexplicably had a trace of doubt about Qu Chuan, and always felt that this person was a little strange, but he couldn't say what was strange for the time being.

It may be that the sense of contrast is too strong, or it may be that the speed of laughing and hating is too fast.

Is this the artist? It's very different from ordinary people.

It's also true that a true artist has a somewhat eccentric temperament.

"The next painting is [Love], right?" Chen Yi spoke.

Qu Chuan nodded: "That's right, it's being created." ”

Chen Yi: "Mr. Qu's creative cycle is two years, and now the time is almost up, I don't know how it will be completed?" ”

Qu Chuan's impression of Chen Yi has changed a lot, and he said with a smile: "Captain Chen knows me very well, I can't say that the two-year creative cycle is just a coincidence, I don't know when inspiration will burst out. ”

Chen Yi looked around: "Where is Mr. Qu's studio, is it here?" ”

Qu Chuan pointed to another room: "Right there, every time I go to a new place, the assistant will tidy up the new studio, and I don't leave the brush every day." ”

Chen Yi: "Can you take a look?" ”

Qu Chuan: "Yes, Captain Chen is at will." ”

Chen Yi waved his hand, and the police officers behind him entered the room, and they knew the key search targets without reminding them.

"How many assistants do you have?" Chen Yi continued to ask.

Qu Chuan: "Two. ”

Chen Yi: "Male and female. ”

Qu Chuan: "A man and a woman. ”

Chen Yi: "Can you tell me about men's height and weight?" ”

Qu Chuan was puzzled: "Huh? Height and weight? I don't know where to go. ”

Chen Yi: "Are you thin?" For example, a height of 1.8 meters and a weight of 120 pounds. ”

Qu Chuan shook his head: "No, no, how can you be so thin, normal weight, your body is quite shapely...... Captain Chen asked me what my assistant do?? ”

Chen Yi did not answer, and asked a new question: "Did Mr. Qu meet fanatical fans in his early years?" The focus is on men. ”

Qu Chuan smiled: "My fans are generally women, I don't know what level of fanaticism Captain Chen means?" Is that the one just now? ”

Detached from artistic creation, this guy's expression and smile became obscene again.

Old goat.

It is really outrageous that he can become a well-known painter, but Chen Yi must admit that there is something about those four paintings, at least the professional level is real.

The two chatted for a long time, and Chen Yi was waiting for the results of the investigation.

The police officer who searched the room came out and shook his head at Chen Yi, indicating that everything was normal.

After another half an hour, Qin Fei returned, and came to Chen Yi's ear to inform him that the verification was completed, and Qu Chuan's alibi was no problem, coupled with the inconsistency of the footprints, it was basically certain that he was not the murderer of this serial case.

Chen Yi said goodbye and left.

When the door of the room closed, Qu Chuan's smile on the sofa slowly retracted, replaced by a touch of coldness.

He raised his hand and took a drag on his cigarette, the rising smoke causing his eyes to squint, the light of his eyes dark and gloomy.

Outside the hotel.

Several people stood at the gate, Chen Yi looked at the pedestrians coming and going, took out a cigarette and lit it, his brows furrowed slightly.

From the point of view of the motive and psychology of the crime, Qu Chuan is extremely suspicious, and for every person who dies, a related abstract painting will come out, how can there be such a coincidental thing in the world.

If Ningcheng's Bi Xuelan finds out the fear again, then Qu Chuan's suspicion will continue to deepen.

However, the investigation of a case should not only look at inference and reasonableness, but also the facts are the most important.

The characteristics of Qu Chuan do not match the traces left by the suspect, and the alibi is also sufficient, although only the Imperial City case and the Yangcheng case have been verified so far, but from the perspective of method experience, the murderer is growth-oriented, and also has the characteristics of a lone wolf, and it is unlikely that many people committed the crime.

If you really want to forcibly rely on Qu Chuan, it can only be a partial cooperation.

"Do you see anything?" Chen Yi turned his head.

Qin Fei and the others hesitated, and finally decided to shake their heads.

Chen Yi: "If you have anything to say, don't be afraid to say the wrong thing." ”

Hearing this, Qin Fei spoke: "Qu Chuan was dating a female fan in the hotel, and he proudly mentioned the price of his works when chatting, this guy is lustful and sharp-eyed, it is difficult to associate him with well-known painters, and he has nothing to do with artists." ”

Another police officer: "Maybe it's because of his emotional richness that he was able to create a series of oil paintings of Seven Emotions, and he couldn't feel emotions when he stayed at home all day." ”

Qin Fei: "That's the same. ”

Someone said, "Maybe...... Is the murderer helping him kill someone? ”

Qin Fei: "It's not impossible, you can check Qu Chuan's interpersonal relationships and bank flows, and see if there are any thin bamboo poles and suspicious expenses, what does Team Chen think?" ”

Several people looked at Chen Yi.

Chen Yi agreed: "You are in charge of this matter, and also, send two clever police officers to keep an eye on Qu Chuan in shifts, and you want to be secretive." ”

Qin Fei: "Yes! ”

Chen Yi left alone, leaving the car to Qin Fei and them, walking on the noisy streets.

"Thin bamboo pole, who could it be?"

"I still feel a little strange about this guy Qu Chuan, what's not quite right, I can't tell the truth."

"At present, we still have to wait for the results of Ning Cheng's investigation to see if the direction is right, if it is right, then Qu Chuan should be the key to this case, and it is necessary to find a breakthrough from him, not the murderer is also related to him or his paintings."

Walking on the road, Chen Yi looked at the pedestrians coming and going while thinking, and when he met a very thin man, he would subconsciously take a few more looks.

Inexplicably being regarded as a "suspect", the person concerned is afraid that he will be depressed when he knows it, and he is also guilty of being thin?
