What interests Lu Wan is the platform that controls the deceased in the second painting.
The structure of this platform is particularly simple. The shackles that fix the body of the deceased are very wide and are achieved by rotating the rocker arms on the sides.
Rotate counterclockwise, and the cuffs will come up from under the platform, naturally clasping the body of the deceased. After killing someone, you only need to rotate it instantly, and the cuffs will return to under the platform, without the need for close operations at all.
The most important thing is that the design of this platform is much simpler than Lu Wan imagined.
"Steel, pulleys, large blades, ropes, he also needs cutting tools, welding and other equipment." Lu Wan pinched her chin and slowly rubbed her sexy red lips with her fingers.
"These things cannot be bought in ordinary hardware stores." Teng Jie said, "Currently it is known that the murderer's economic conditions are superior. I think the murderer's job is related to steel or related derivative industries, and he is in a high position. I do not rule out that he is the murderer. boss."
Lu Wan sighed lightly. This was indeed an investigation direction, but the scope was too large. The murderer might have started planning the crime a long time ago, and it would take a lot of time to investigate the source of the materials.
"How's the investigation going with Mingxing Liu?" Lu Wan asked Peng Yuetao.
Peng Yuetao shrugged, "This kid often goes to bars and nightclubs in the city. There are too many people he can come into contact with, so it's difficult to pinpoint the suspect."
Zeng Hao, who was watching the six roads, took the initiative and said without waiting for Lu Wan to ask: "We want to do all the monitoring on the day of the art exhibition. The exhibition is on Saturday and Sunday. There is too much traffic. It is difficult to screen without reference standards."
At this time, the office door was pushed open, and a man wearing a black sweatshirt walked in.
Bai Mo has a very good memory for faces, and he recognized the person at a glance. It was Fu Xingliang, the policeman from the police station who initially assisted them in investigating the case.
Fu Xingliang came to Lu Wan and said, "Sorry, Captain Lu, I visited a few more people and came back late."
Lu Wan said to everyone: "Fu Xingliang is your new colleague. He was originally going to report to the team today, but I asked him to check for clues about the homeless man first. There will be another person reporting tomorrow, named Yang Pengyu, who I also work with. People screened by the police station in the jurisdiction.”
The police force suddenly had two new members, and everyone immediately thought of what Lu Wan said when he organized a study session a month ago.
At that time, Lu Wan said that the crime rate in Meihai City would increase, so she encouraged everyone to learn. Unexpectedly, she was still looking for new members for the police force.
Lu Wan did not give everyone time to introduce each other, and continued: "Did you find anything?"
"That man's name is Wang Daqiang. He is not a homeless man to be exact. He used to be a power plant worker. He had a small house with one bedroom and one living room. However, the house has been sold. He often lived in a bridge cave before disappearing." Fu Xingliang said, "He ran away from his wife because he was too lazy to eat. After a large number of power plant workers were laid off, he didn't find a job. He usually made a living by picking up scraps."
"He lives in poverty and doesn't pay attention to hygiene. That's why you think he is a homeless man. Over at the police station, a policeman met a citizen when he was searching in the community. The citizen said that Wang Daqiang was missing. But Wang Daqiang originally lived there. There was no fixed address, and the police didn’t take it seriously at the time.”
Fu Xingliang took a breath and took out a cigarette from his pocket. When he was about to light it, he suddenly hesitated and glanced at Lu Wan.
"Smoke it!" Lu Wan waved her hand.
Fu Xingliang laughed dryly and said, "Sorry, I'm a big smoker."
After taking two puffs of cigarette, Fu Xingliang continued: "I found the citizen who reported the case to the police. He was an old man who lived in the tube building opposite the bridge. He used to be a worker in a power plant and would usually pay attention to Wang Daqiang. You can see the situation in the bridge hole from his window, which means that once Wang Daqiang is not in the bridge hole, he will be able to find out immediately."
"Is there a specific time of disappearance?" Lu Wan asked.
"I visited several households where I could see the bridge opening. It should be between March 26 and March 30." Fu Xingliang came to the map and marked the location on it, "The bridge opening is here, nearby The three main roads are monitored and can be used as an investigation direction."
"Very good!" Lu Wan was extremely satisfied with Xing Liang's performance. "You continue to check this line, screen the surveillance, and look for nearby witnesses."
Bai Mo twisted his neck, looking a little confused.
After the first painting appeared, Bai Mo began to investigate missing persons. The murderer chose a homeless man who received little attention. Bai Mo felt that he was a very cautious person.
It stands to reason that he should at least conduct some observations before taking away the homeless man. Someone like Wang Daqiang, who has many old colleagues around him, does not meet the selection criteria of the murderer.
Unless the murderer chose a very single label, just like Lu Wan, he saw that Wang Daqiang looked like a homeless man and deceived him directly.
This is too imprudent. What if the other person is not a homeless person and his family calls the police after he disappears? And not all homeless people are so easily scammed.
The office door was pushed open again, and Qin Youwei walked in.
Qin Youwei's face was unusually heavy. "The appraisal results are out, and it can be confirmed that the pigments of the two paintings are exactly the same. Judging from the oxidation degree of the pigments and paper, the first painting should have been completed half a year ago, while the second painting was Completed within a month.”
The office fell into a brief silence. This was quite shocking news. The murderer started committing crimes half a year ago!
"Then the line of logic will be very clear." Teng Jie pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses, "Six months ago was the time when I just announced the cover of "The Last Supper". The time was too close and he didn't have time to complete the first murder. I I think it should be broken down into four stages.”
"In the first stage, the murderer had long planned to commit a crime according to the content of my novel. He spent a lot of time making tools. He may have completed all the tools needed to commit the crime at once, and then began to identify targets and wait for an opportunity to commit the crime."
"In the second stage, the murderer was proficient in hand-drawing. When I announced the prototype of the cover, it stimulated him and made him feel that it was particularly suitable to record the novel's scenes with hand-drawing, which accelerated the progress of his crime. The first victim appeared, and at the same time the first picture The painting is also finished.”
Having said this, Teng Jie glanced at Bai Mo beside him, "In the third stage, he has never killed anyone, so he has been in a contradictory psychological state for a long time after killing someone. In the fourth stage, last month I The final version of the cover was announced, and I kept saying that someone finally found the real murderer in the book, which stimulated him again."
Teng Jie's words also convey another meaning - most people guessed it wrong.
The book signing was on Saturday nine days ago, and the actual release date was a week earlier. The murderer should have read Teng Jie's book. He found that he had also guessed wrong. From the comments online, it can be seen that many people had guessed wrong. He Become interested in the person who understands the cover.
These are the four stages of Teng Jie's analysis. The structure is very clear, and it can also explain the half-year vacuum period from the first case to the second case, as well as the murderer's motive for committing another crime.

Bai Mo slowly stood up.
