Teng Jie, a man who considers himself a genius, graduated from Kyoto University with a double major, one in Chinese and one in psychology.
Teng Jie started writing mystery novels when he was in college. This was his biggest hobby. He also successfully reached a height that ordinary people could not reach through writing.
After graduation, he opened a psychological clinic. Of course, being a psychologist was only a part-time job, and writing was his career.
These years have been smooth sailing for him, but he has never stopped learning. As his knowledge and experience increase, he feels that he has entered the ranks of geniuses in the criminal investigation profession.
He likes to give pointers in front of Lu Wan the most, especially when Lu Wan asks him for advice on solving cases. He has indeed helped Lu Wan solve several major cases in recent years.
Gradually, Teng Jie gained a kind of confidence. He was confident that he could see through any case. For example, in the case of Lu Yajun, he just glanced at the information on the whiteboard and gave Lu Wan a very key suggestion.
Over the years, Teng Jie has never missed anything, including his belief that Bai Mo has a psychological problem, and he firmly believes that he is not wrong.
But at this moment, when he heard Bai Mo say the word jealousy, he realized that he had made a mistake. He felt that Bai Mo was right, the murderer was probably jealous.
Teng Jie took a deep look at Bai Mo, and he had to re-evaluate this painter who was full of artistic talents.
Teng Jie took off his gold-rimmed glasses and took out a tissue from his pocket to wipe them. "You mean, he's looking for the person who understood my cover, and he's looking for you?"
The person who found the murderer on the cover was Bai Mo. The murderer may be looking for Bai Mo!
"Perhaps he already knows it's me." Bai Mo whispered, "Your information is available online. He is a fan of yours and may know your family situation. If he knows that Sister Lu Wan is your wife, he may You will suspect that the person who understands the cover is in the police force.
It just so happened that he knew that I understood his painting. After a little research, he found out that I was the new portrait artist in the police force, so he naturally thought that I was the one who understood the cover. "
Bai Mo, who was thinking and analyzing, slowly raised his head to look at Teng Jie. He found that Teng Jie was looking at him with a strange look.
"What's wrong?" Bai Mo asked.
Teng Jie shook his head slightly, put on his glasses and chuckled: "For a moment just now, you gave me an illusion, making me feel like you were the murderer himself."
Bai Mo didn't pay attention to Teng Jie's slightly scrutinizing eyes. He said softly: "Maybe because we both love painting, I feel some of his emotions from his paintings."
Art originally had some metaphysics, but Teng Jie didn't delve into it. He was more concerned about the murderer's thoughts now.
Teng Jie is very familiar with his books, which involve a lot of traditional logical thinking in criminal investigation and criminal psychology. Many cases are based on real cases. If the murderer can read every one of his books, then he has at least developed a simple understanding of it. Criminal investigation logic.
The murderer spent a lot of money when hiring an errand boy, which shows that he has superior economic conditions. The target of his crime is a homeless man who no one cares about. He has obviously thought carefully about it.
If such a person really targets Bai Mo, then Bai Mo will be in danger.
Teng Jie held his chin and looked at Bai Mo. The only thing that reassured him was that Lu Wan had given instructions to protect Bai Mo.
······
At ten o'clock in the evening, the office of the Criminal Police Team 1 was brightly lit, and everyone who had been investigating for a day met for the first time to discuss.
Seeing that Lu Wan and Teng Jie were both there, Bai Mo suddenly thought of their daughter Teng Yujing, "What should I do Jingjing?"
"At home, my parents are with me." Teng Jie's voice was not too quiet, and he seemed to want Lu Wan, who was standing next to the whiteboard, to hear, "The security in our community is very good. I have notified the property management, and they will always pay attention. Our unit building.”
This is one of the differences between high-end communities and ordinary communities. Facing wealthy people of Teng Jie's level, property security guards will naturally do their best to protect their families.
"I will sort out this case according to the timeline now." Lu Wan drew a timeline on the whiteboard, "Bai Mo, Teng Jie, if I make any mistakes or omissions, please let me correct them in time."
Later, Lu Wan recounted the discovery process of the case, starting from Bai Mo's discovery of the first painting at the art exhibition to today's second painting. After that, Lu Wan remembered the dismemberment scene and the many things Teng Jie once mentioned. Like, then I contacted Teng Jie and confirmed from Teng Jie that the murderer was imitating his novel to commit crimes.
Everyone had been investigating according to the direction arranged by Lu Wan. Only then did they know that the case was related to Teng Jie, and everyone looked at Teng Jie in disbelief.
"Fuck!" Zeng Hao whispered in Chen Xiaoxiao's ear, "I have read so many novels by my brother-in-law, but I didn't know that he had written such a bloody and perverted case earlier."
Chen Xiaoxiao nodded slightly and took a peek at Teng Jie sitting next to Bai Mo.
The case was related to Teng Jie, and ordinary people would be very nervous, but Chen Xiaoxiao couldn't see any nervousness in Teng Jie. She even felt that Teng Jie was a little excited.
Not only that, Chen Xiaoxiao also felt this excitement on Bai Mo's body.
After saying this, Lu Wan asked Teng Jie, "Do you have anything to add?"
Teng Jie smiled, "Bai Mo and I did discuss some clues in the studio..."
Teng Jie told everyone the possibilities they had deduced, and learned that the murderer might have been targeting Bai Mo. How surprised everyone looked at Teng Jie before, and how shocked they looked at Bai Mo now.
Lu Wan glanced at Bai Mo meaningfully, feeling a little guilty in her heart.
If Teng Jie had not let Bai Mo look at the cover of "The Last Supper", the murderer might not have targeted Bai Mo. From a certain perspective, it was Teng Jie who had implicated Bai Mo.
"Bai Mo has drawn a schematic diagram of the four tools. I think there are some clues in it." Teng Jie patted Bai Mo beside him.
Bai Mo took out four paintings and came to the whiteboard to show them to everyone.
One after another, real-life portraits appeared in front of everyone. Seeing these simple but effective tools, even Lu Wan took a breath.
What Chen Xiaoxiao was looking at was the killing tool in the first painting. It was a simple mechanism that could be operated from a distance.
It looks like a pair of pliers that have been enlarged many times. The pliers are suspended by a rope, and the end is a square box. When it is opened, the box will be divided into two halves, and when it is closed, it will be a complete box.
Bai Mo's paintings are very realistic. The open box has a sharp blade in the middle.
This made Chen Xiaoxiao instantly picture the tool cutting off the head of the deceased. After the box was closed, it could be moved by the hanging rope. Then the box was opened and the head was placed in the hand of the deceased.
"These tools are too..." Chen Xiaoxiao couldn't help rubbing her arms, as if she wanted to soothe the goose bumps that suddenly appeared on her arms.
