"Help take a hand."

This scroll is as heavy as iron, and I don't know what it is, and I can't pick it up alone, but fortunately, my colleagues at the bottom helped to hold it.

The scroll fell against the edge of the ceiling entrance, scraping a layer of grayish-white powder.

Tan Wan dipped his hand in some and put it under his nose and sniffed it gently, it was putty paste.

I climbed down the stairs, and when I went down to the last two stairs, my feet slipped and I almost fell downstairs because of my unstable center of gravity, but fortunately, someone next to me caught me.

"Thank you......" Tan Wan fell on the man, raised his head and saw that it was Li Jue, "Why are you here?" ”

"I'll take you home when the case is over." Li Jue helped the person down the ladder and glanced at the corpse lying on the ground next to him wrapped like a zongzi, "But now it seems that I have to work overtime again, right?" ”

Lao Zhang squatted next to the corpse and was examining the corpse, and the picture of Li Jue reaching out to help Tan Wan came into view, revealing a fatherly smile.

With the concerted efforts of several police officers, the scroll opens to reveal its true face.

It is a painting 6 meters long and 3 meters wide, and after being laid on the floor, the color and texture are consistent with the original floor, which cannot be said to be consistent, but exactly the same.

The blood splashing in the middle of the canvas is shocking, and the disappeared blood appears in front of everyone's eyes like a trick at this moment.

A comparison with the shape of the blood stain on the photograph confirmed that the picture was the one that the killer had laid on the ground at the time of the killing.

Tan Wan knelt on one knee on the ground, leaned down and sniffed the canvas: "It's paint." ”

"It's incredible." Li Jue also walked over, he half-squatted next to the canvas, and gently picked off a small piece of paint with his hand: "On the canvas, use a paintbrush to draw the same lines as the floor, so that the cloth can be invisible in the eyes of the human flesh." ”

Tan Wan nodded: "When Xu Lei goes to the police, she will wrap the body with a cloth and hide it on the ceiling, the entrance and exit of the ceiling are inconspicuous, and then apply putty paste to the small gaps, so that the entrance and exit and the ceiling are mixed together to confuse the public, plus ordinary people will not think that there will be a door on the ceiling, which is why Officer Li did not find out." ”

According to Xu Lei's own oral account, it took her nearly 20 minutes to go downstairs and call the police, and there was no problem at all in 20 minutes for the putty powder to dry quickly.

In addition, the strong smell of oil paint in the painting room is masked, and a little bit of putty volatilization is masked.

"The murderer prepared the painting for the crime in advance, and he can also use the ceiling is a warehouse trick, only the owner of the studio can do it, I will apply for an arrest warrant with my superiors, and immediately go to Guizhou to arrest people."

Hearing that someone was going to be arrested, Li Dongliao climbed up with difficulty by holding on to the wall: "Talk about the team, I will also go to Guizhou!" ”

Tan Wan: "How can you participate in the arrest mission like this?" Xiao He is still over there, let Xiao He do it for you. ”

As soon as he heard Xiao He's words for himself, Li Dongliao's head was stunned for a moment, and he unexpectedly thought of the words that Tan Xue said to him on the hospital bed not long ago, and his heart was driven by Tan Xue's words to sow discord, and he inexplicably felt a sense of crisis.

Ignoring the pain in his upper leg, Li Dongliao stood up straight and insisted on going: "No, I, I can." ”

The police doctor said that he may have a slight bone crack and asked him to recuperate.

Tan Wan glanced at him, Li Dongliao's lips were a little pale, and his forehead was still sweating, and anyone could see that he was holding back.

"It's just a matter of arresting someone." Tan Wan directly rejected his request, "Rest is for a better job, I don't agree with you to take out this mission, take a good rest." ”

"Talking about ......" Li Dongliao still wanted to fight for it, but he had already walked out of the room after talking.

Lao Zhang listened to the whole process on the side, he patted Li Dongliao's arm and said with a smile: "The boss of the next group lets his subordinates work, and he sits in the office without moving his buttocks, how good you are to talk about the team, how considerate you are, what are you not satisfied with?" ”

Li Dongliao couldn't say: "Lao Zhang, let me ask you, what do you think of my ability?" ”

Lao Zhang squinted his eyes and said slyly: "If you ask me to praise you for your ability, you can say it bluntly, the older you get, the more you will beat around the bush." ”

"Am I older than you?" Li Dongliao gave him a blank look, and then returned to seriousness, "Seriously, Lao Zhang, judging from the entire police station, am I very capable?" ”

As he spoke, Lao Zhang was dragging the corpse into the body bag, and Li Dongliao hurriedly came up to take a hand when he saw this.

Seeing this, Lao Zhang moved the corpse he was dragging in his hand in the opposite direction, and reminded in a low voice: "Wear gloves." ”

"Oh yes, look at my brain." Li Dongliao hurriedly withdrew his hand and put on gloves in a panic, and after putting on the gloves, he looked at it again, and the body had already entered the body bag.

"I also heard about the team scolding you some time ago." Lao Zhang Youyou pulled up the body bag, "You have been in the wrong state recently, you have to adjust it." ”

Seeing that the young man was worried, Lao Zhang smiled again: "Don't think too much about it, silly boy, if you can follow the team for so many years, how poor can your ability be?"

If you don't have the ability, the temperament of the team would have been changed a long time ago, otherwise you would have been given so many opportunities? ”

Li Dongliao smiled slightly, cheered up a little, and helped hold the body bag: "I'll help you carry it out." ”

Tan returned to the police station to apply for an arrest warrant and knocked on the door of the deputy commissioner's office.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw a familiar back, and Tan Wan shouted hesitantly: "Zhiyue? ”

Xia Zhiyue turned her head and smiled when she saw Tan Wan: "Officer Tan, long time no see." ”

This is the first time that the two have met since they talked about going to the island.

While she was surprised to see Xia Zhiyue again, she was also wondering why she appeared in the deputy director's office.

"It's just right for you to talk." The deputy bureau beckoned Tan Wan to come closer, "This is Officer Xia, transferred from other provinces, and is about to serve as the captain of the second brigade." ”

The second team, Tan Wan thought to himself that the captain of the second team was not a person surnamed Cao, and there were no rumors recently that the surname Cao had not heard the news that he was leaving.

In retrospect, when I was eating at noon, I saw the person surnamed Cao eating with the people of the second brigade in the police canteen, why did he suddenly have to change people?

Tan Wan didn't say much, with a slight professional smile on his face, he stretched out his hand and shook hands with Xia Zhiyue.

"I said we'd meet again." Xia Zhiyue stretched out her hand, "It's good to be able to work with Officer Tan." ”

"When will you take office?" Tan Wan looked at Xia Zhiyue, and then turned his gaze to the deputy bureau.

Deputy Director: "Talk about police officer, you take Xiao Xia to apply for a police card, familiarize yourself with the environment, and take office tomorrow." ”

"Yes." Tan Wan said, "There is another matter in the deputy bureau, I request that the procuratorate approve the application for an arrest warrant against Ye Feng." ”
