Zhong Shi had artistic talent since he was a child. Later he was admitted to Nanshi Art College, where he majored in oil painting and minored in sculpture and urban design.
Anyone who knows how to carve is basically good at cutting. It is not difficult to cut a piece of meat finely!
After graduating from college, Zhong Shi's job was never very satisfactory and he lived a very poor life.
At that time, Liu Meimei, like Zhong Shi, lived in poverty.
Just an unknown model.
Two like-minded people came together.
In order to find a way in painting.
Zhong Shi decided to focus on surreal art oil painting.
His first surreal art oil painting was of Liu Meimei.
When it comes to painting, Zhong Shi is truly gifted.
After his first surreal art oil painting was released, it immediately aroused heated discussion on the Internet.
His name quickly dominated the headlines on major websites.
His status in the oil painting world has also grown.
His first surreal art oil painting sold for 1 million.
While Zhong Shi's oil paintings became popular, they also made the model Liu Meimei in the paintings popular.
Liu Meimei has become a hot commodity in the modeling industry, and major model companies are vying to sign Liu Meimei.
Liu Meimei's modeling career is developing better and better.
Naturally, the money earned is getting more and more.
After having money, Jong-sil suggested opening a gallery to make more money.
Liu Meimei readily agreed and invested the money she earned from the modeling company in Zhong Shi's gallery.
In the first few years, the gallery business was okay.
Because everyone is willing to pay high prices for Zhong Shi’s surreal art oil paintings.
However, after the novelty wore off, everyone's interest in Zhong Shi's oil paintings slowly began to fade.
No one wants to pay high prices for his paintings anymore.
In order to reverse this situation, Zhong Shi decided to take his surreal art oil paintings to a higher level of art and make the oil paintings more precise.
Let his paintings be clearer than photos!
However, this requires more time to create.
In the past, it might only take him a month or two to paint a surreal art oil painting, but after improving his artistic level, it might take him half a year, a year, or even three or four years.
The oil painting that improved the artistic level was later sold at a high price.
But Zhong Shi only painted one or two paintings a year, and sometimes he even didn't finish one painting in a year. In this case, the income from his oil paintings was not enough to support the operation of the gallery.
Therefore, his gallery has been unable to make ends meet in recent years.
Han Cheng asked Wang Lan to check Zhong Shi's financial situation because he suspected that Zhong Shi's criminal motive was related to money.
At that time, Wang Lan found out that Zhong Shi's financial situation had a huge deficit, so Han Chengcai felt that Zhong Shi was even more suspicious.
Because the gallery's business could not make ends meet, Liu Meimei had to use the money she earned from the modeling agency to make up for the shortfall.
As time passed, Liu Meimei naturally began to feel unhappy.
She has now made a name for herself in the modeling industry and earns much more money than Jong Sil.
In addition, she and Zhong Shi often spent less time together and more time apart, and their relationship gradually faded.
So Liu Meimei broke up with Zhong Shi.
Zhong Shi never thought that Liu Meimei would break up with him.
This was a pretty big blow to him!
After that, Liu Meimei stopped transferring money to him, and his gallery business was on the verge of bankruptcy.
Under the double blow of career and love, Zhong Shi's temperament suddenly changed and he turned into a person who even he himself found terrifying.
He has become narrow-minded and is used to getting into trouble when thinking about things!
He felt that without him, it would have been impossible for Liu Meimei to become famous and earn so much money.
Liu Meimei's ingratitude made him feel angry.
The seeds of hatred slowly fermented in his heart.
In the end, he decided to destroy Liu Meimei and put all the money she earned into his pocket.
Zhongshi is a very smart person.
He knew that Liu Meimei was an orphan.
As long as he and Liu Meimei register their marriage, the property will belong to him after Liu Meimei's death.
So how do you get someone who wants to break up to register a marriage with you?
It has to be said that Zhong Shi is still a master of love.
He established himself as an affectionate man.
He pretended to give his recently completed surrealist oil painting to Liu Meimei as a breakup gift.
Liu Meimei was very moved.
Then, Zhong Shi took advantage of the situation and made his request, saying that after he and Liu Meimei broke up, everyone would go their separate ways!
He wanted to register his marriage with Liu Meimei for one day before breaking up, and then go for divorce the next day, which would be an explanation for the fact that they had been together for so many years.
If an ordinary person made such a request, Liu Meimei would probably refuse.
However, Zhong Shi is engaged in artistic creation.
It is normal to have some wild ideas.
In addition, she has been with Zhong Shi for so many years, and she has more or less feelings for Zhong Shi.
So she agreed to Zhong Shi's request.
However, by agreeing, she had already fallen into the trap deliberately set by Zhong Shi.
After registering her marriage with Liu Meimei.
Jong-sil's first plan was to lure her to the warehouse he rented in the suburbs.
He lied to Liu Meimei and said that he had bought a batch and wanted to take Liu Meimei to see it.
Liu Meimei never thought that Zhong Shi would harm her, so she agreed without thinking.
After arriving at the warehouse, Zhong Shi tricked Liu Meimei into drinking a bottle of water with sleeping pills in it.
Soon, Liu Meimei fell unconscious and fell to the ground!
Zhongshi put her in a large plaster box and sealed it with wooden strips.
At this time, Liu Meimei was not dead yet.
Zhong Shi did not kill Liu Meimei at this time, which was also part of his plan.
Because he wanted Liu Meimei to die in the gallery so that the police could rule out his murder suspicion.
He knew very well that the gallery was surrounded by sky-eye surveillance cameras. As long as he entered the gallery, he would be photographed by the sky-eye surveillance cameras.
And if Liu Meimei did not leave the gallery at the time of her death, Liu Meimei also did not enter his gallery.
Then he had no time to commit the crime in the eyes of the police.
On July 11, after Zhong Shi entered the gallery, he calculated the time and placed an order on the shipping platform to have the warehouse goods and the box containing Liu Meimei delivered to the gallery.
His second step was to imitate the crime.
The person he was imitating was the murderer of the NTU corpse dismemberment case thirty years ago.
He knew more about that case than the average person.
Because for the past thirty years, police officers have come to his home every year to ask his mother about the details of the NTU body dismemberment case.
Intentionally or unintentionally, he heard many details about this case.
Therefore, when he committed an exemplary crime, he tried his best to consider every detail. For example, the method of dumping the body, the bag containing the body fragments, the time of dumping the body...etc.
He has only one purpose, which is to mislead the police and make the police think that Liu Meimei is the murderer of the NTU body dismemberment case, so that Liu Meimei's case becomes as difficult to solve as the NTU body dismemberment case. In this way, he can escape from the law. sanctions.
Zhong Shi is a detective fan. He has read many domestic and foreign detective novels and has strong anti-investigation capabilities.
He knew very well that if he just imitated the details of the cases reported by the media, the police would not be completely convinced that the Liu Meimei case and the NTU corpse dismemberment case were serial dismemberment cases.
He wanted to deliberately make some details of the crime that would make the police think that only the perpetrator of the NTU corpse case knew about it, so that the police would investigate the Liu Meimei case and the NTU corpse case together.
The detail of this special crime was to cut the corpse into slices with the same shape as the NTU corpse case.
In the beginning, the details of his crime did deceive many people, even the experienced detective Li Qi was deceived.
I have to say, Zhong Shi is really a genius criminal.
Here comes the problem!
How did Zhong Shi know the shape of the body fragments in the NTU corpse case?
Zhong Shi's mother, Zheng Ying, told the police that no one except her had seen the package of body parts, and she had never mentioned the shape of the body parts to anyone. Even she herself knew nothing about the details of the case. No impression.
It turned out that in addition to Zheng Ying who had seen the bag of minced meat, Zhong Shi, who was twelve years old at the time, had also seen the bag of shredded corpses.
On the day Zheng Ying took the minced corpse home, Zhong Shi happened to come home from school early.
After he got home, Zheng Ying happened to go out again.
He saw a package of sliced cooked meat in the kitchen. He was so greedy that he picked up a few pieces of meat and looked at them before putting them in his mouth.
Because the slices of cooked meat have a special shape, he has a talent for art since he was a child and kept it in his mind.
After eating a few pieces of minced meat, he felt that the taste was strange and not very tasty, so he stopped eating and ran outside to play.
Then, Zheng Ying came back again.
Seeing no one at home, she took it for granted that no one had entered her home.
Then she picked up the bag of minced meat and prepared to make a meat dish for Zhongshi.
It turned out that there were human fingers in the minced meat, and the police were called.
When Zhong Shi came back, he saw that his house was surrounded by police and people.
I heard people talking about melon-eating people saying that his mother picked up a bag of body parts and came back...
Zhong Shi was gagging at that time and ran to a deserted corner to vomit all over the floor. However, the meat had already been chewed up and eaten into his stomach, and he couldn't vomit it out even if he wanted to.
However, his strong psychological quality was actually shown at that time.
After just one night, he felt relieved.
He thinks human flesh tastes like this!
Therefore, when he dismembered Liu Meimei's body later, he was able to be so calm and didn't feel that he was doing something scary at all, and he even dismembered her body while surfing the Internet!
He felt that he had already eaten human flesh, so cutting it into corpses meant nothing!
In terms of dumping the body, Zhong Shi also made a careful plan.
He paid for the gallery land.
Because the underground is full of air-raid tunnels, the municipal department does not allow high-rise buildings to be built on that land, only one-story bungalows.
Because of this, the land was sold very cheaply, and Zhong Shi, who was planning to open a gallery at the time, had just enough money to buy it.
Zhongshi majored in urban construction at the Art College and could understand engineering drawings. The municipal department once gave him a map of the distribution of air-raid tunnels under the gallery.
So Zhong Shi knew very well where the air-raid passage underground of the gallery led to.
In the days when he planned to murder Liu Meimei, there was a flood in Nanshi. He accidentally discovered that the entrance and exit of an air-raid shelter had been breached by the flood.
He thinks his chance has come! In order to successfully complete the step of dumping the body.
He dug a tunnel leading to the air raid tunnel in the gallery yard in advance.
After completing the dismemberment, he carried ten bags of body fragments and entered the air raid tunnel from the tunnel late at night, and then exited through the entrance and exit that was washed away by the flood.
Then he rode the electric bicycle he had placed near the entrance in advance to the place he chose to dump the body and completed the dumping.
After throwing away the body parts, Zhong Shi finally returned to the entrance and exit of the air raid tunnel, abandoned his electric bicycle nearby, and then returned to the gallery from the air raid tunnel without anyone noticing.
Han Cheng had already guessed the process of dumping Zhong Shi's body after seeing the tire marks of an electric bicycle near the entrance.
That’s why he asked Hong Xi to send someone to search for Zhong Shi’s abandoned electric bicycle.
Later, Hong Xi actually found the electric bicycle abandoned by Zhong Shi.
Zhong Shi thought his murder plan was flawless and flawless!
But in the end, his carefully planned layout was cracked one by one by Han Cheng!
When a genius criminal meets a genius detective, Zhong Shi is destined to fail and end in tragedy!
After the interrogation, Zhong Shi was transferred to the detention center, where severe legal punishment awaits him.
The day before Zhong Shi went to court for trial, Zhong Shi applied to see Han Cheng.
Han Cheng agreed!
In the visiting room.
Jong-sil was handcuffed with bracelets and anklets.
He is no longer as arrogant as before, and looks indifferent to life and death.
"Han Cheng, you are not human!"
The first words Zhong Shi said really made Han Cheng stunned for a moment!
Could it be that he saw that I had traveled through time?
"You are a god! I am convinced that I fell into the hands of a genius detective like you!"
Jong-sil continued.
It turns out that Zhong Shi didn't see that he was a time traveler, but admired him from the bottom of his heart.
"If you had not taken this crooked path, you would have been a painter with a bright future!" Han Cheng said.
Indeed, based on Zhong Shi's achievements in surrealist oil painting, he is indeed expected to become a famous artist of his generation.
"Everything is just a cloud. If I had taken the fame and fortune lightly earlier, I wouldn't have ended up in the situation I am in today!" Zhong Shi shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"I came to you today because there is something I want to tell you! Maybe it will help you solve the Nanda corpse dismemberment case! It can also be considered as a way to gain some virtue for myself before I die!"
"Say it!" Han Cheng paused.
"I suspect that the murderer of the NTU body dismemberment case may be someone who lives near our house!"
"Why did you say that?" Han Cheng was a little surprised.
"When I returned home and found out that what I was eating was human flesh, I ran to a corner where no one was and vomited. When I was vomiting, someone asked me behind my back, 'Young man, how does the meat taste? Think about it. , how does he know that I have eaten meat? So, I suspect that he is someone from my neighborhood, and he has been observing my house somewhere!"
"But I was only focused on vomiting and ignored the man. When I finished vomiting and turned around, the man was already gone!"
"Have you seen his appearance?" Han Cheng asked.
"No!"
"Then do you still have an impression of his voice?"
"I don't have any impression of the specific place where the accent comes from! But I'm sure his accent sounds like he's from Guizhou Province!"
...
Even when a man is about to die, his words are good, and Han Cheng believes that Zhong Shi is telling the truth.
However, it is still unclear whether this detail mentioned by Zhong Shi will bring about a turning point in the investigation of the Nanda corpse case.
But no matter what, Han Cheng will not give up continuing to investigate the Nanda corpse case.
Han Cheng believes in that sentence: Justice may be late, but it will never be absent!
