Twenty minutes ago, Bai Mo took a bus and arrived at the gate of the Public Security Bureau.
Just as he was about to enter, Yang Lu called.
In Bai Mo's impression, Yang Lu was a girl who liked to sleep in. If she called early in the morning, there must be something urgent.
After answering the phone, Bai Mo heard Yang Lu talking to someone else: "Master, please hurry up."
When Yang Lu knew the call was connected, he quickly said to Bai Mo, "I received a painting!" For fear that Bai Mo wouldn't be able to react, Yang Lu emphasized, "Hand-painted!"
Bai Mo suddenly felt an icy chill on his back. He understood what Yang Lu meant. The third painting appeared and was delivered to Yang Lu's hands.
"I'll take a taxi with my painting to find you now." Yang Lu seemed to be afraid that the driver would hear too much information, so he hung up the phone directly after finishing speaking.
Bai Mo, on the other hand, kept listening to the phone and stood motionless at the gate of the Public Security Bureau.
After learning that Feng Zhigang was also in the coffee shop that day, Bai Mo knew that Feng Zhigang was aware of Yang Lu's existence, but he didn't expect that he would involve Yang Lu so quickly.
After a while, a cold smile appeared on Bai Mo's lips.
Yang Lu was not his girlfriend yet, but Yang Lu was targeted by Feng Zhigang because of him. Bai Mo was completely angered by Feng Zhigang.
······
Teng Jie never revealed the details about Ling Chi, and it seemed that even Lu Wan didn't know about it, because when she saw the hand-painted drawing sent by Yang Lu, the shock on her face was no less than that of Bai Mo.
In the painting, a man is tied to a cross-shaped frame with open arms. His body is uneven, with bones exposed in many places.
Feng Zhigang's depiction of such details is so vivid that it makes people shudder.
"This man should have died of excessive blood loss." Qin Youwei's voice was rarely so heavy. After working as a forensic doctor for so many years, it was the first time that he saw three horrific ways of death in one case.
"Yang Lu said it was a courier, delivered early this morning." Bai Mo said to Lu Wan, "It was a city courier sent from a station in Xiacheng District last night. Zeng Hao has already gone over to investigate. I guess Feng Zhigang is still Same old thing, it’s impossible to trace him through this.”
Seeing that Lu Wan was reluctant to speak, Bai Mo sighed with difficulty.
"Lu Jun, do we really have nothing we can do?" Bai Mo asked.
As a criminal police officer, Bai Mo knew how much evidence was needed to convict a person, but currently they had nothing but these three paintings.
That's right! Nothing at all. No body, no witnesses, no crime scene...
If Feng Zhigang's behavior had not been so abnormal, it would have been difficult for them to identify him as a criminal suspect.
Someone mentioned bringing Feng Zhigang back for interrogation, and if that didn't work, use some means, but Lu Wan insisted on disagreeing. With the logic and rigor Feng Zhigang had shown so far, rashly interrogating Feng Zhigang would only cause trouble for them.
Lu Wan was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly said: "Yes!"
This word shocked Bai Mo, and Lu Wan pointed at the other two paintings hanging next to the whiteboard.
"Although Feng Zhigang blurred the background in the painting, can you help me judge a matter in other ways?" Without waiting for Bai Mo to respond, Lu Wan asked: "Were the three cases completed in the same room?" of?"
Same room!
Bai Mo suddenly felt a ringing in his ears. He felt that he had overlooked something before, but Lu Wanyi reminded him that he finally thought it through.
A matter of light!
"The sense of light in the three paintings is almost the same. In the first two paintings, one is painted from above and the other is painted from the front, but the difference between light and shadow cannot be seen." Bai Mo took a sharp breath, " This is a closed room with no windows, just light!"
"It's completely consistent with my judgment." Lu Wan's voice became excited. This was the problem she discovered last night, "It's just that my basis is not the light and shadow in your mouth."
In both paintings, the faces of the two deceased people have frightened expressions. It can be seen that they knew that they were going to die. How could they not ask for help in this situation? If you shout for help, you can at least attract the attention of the surrounding residents.
There are also two sets of tools that need to be hung on the roof. Those things are installed later. During installation, holes need to be drilled, which will definitely make noise.
It was impossible for Feng Zhigang to let such an accident happen, so the location he chose to commit the crime was very limited.
There are two possibilities. One is the abandoned factory mentioned before, but Lu Wan thinks it is unlikely. As long as the case comes out, the police will definitely investigate the location of his crime, and the abandoned factory will definitely be investigated.
In addition, this time Feng Zhi just asked the driver to park the car outside the abandoned factory, Lu Wan thought the possibility was even lower.
This is a simple criminal mind.
If the place Feng Zhigang chose to commit the crime was an abandoned factory, he would be particularly concerned about this place, including places similar to this place. Even if the abandoned factory where the car was parked was not the location of the crime, Feng Zhigang would not let the driver park there. What if the police thought of other abandoned factories?
Another possibility is Feng Zhigang's other private properties, such as his house, villa, etc.
A wealthy man of Feng Zhigang's level must have a lot of real estate, openly and secretly. In order to prevent people around him from noticing the sound, he needs to choose a residence with few nearby residents.
Seeing Lu Wan stop, Bai Mo urged: "Then what? Even if we know that he wants to choose a place with few people, it is still a large range. After all, some houses may not be under his name."
"I thought about it for a long time last night. The platform that can lock Wang Daqiang under his body should be an iron plate. It must be very inconvenient to transport such a big iron plate, so I suspect that Feng Zhigang's means of transportation may be a van. , he is the boss, it may also be a business car.”
Lu Wan slowly raised her right hand and placed her fingers on the shelf behind the deceased in the third painting. "Until I saw this shelf, I was even more sure of my guess! The source of the material must be the factories under his name, but it was shipped out from the factory. , he needs a car that can accommodate such large steel!"
"So what?" Bai Mo still didn't understand why Lu Wan was so excited.
Lu Wan snorted coldly, "No matter how smart a criminal is, he can't escape the guilty conscience, so he will definitely not run too far when transporting materials, let alone take the highway. If he is unlucky, he encounters a car accident or is arrested by the traffic police. After a routine inspection, we will have records that he has transported steel materials."
Bai Mo suddenly realized, "His steel and hardware processing companies are all in Ronli County. You mean to say that the place where he committed the crime is in Ronli County, and it is not far from those factories!"
Lu Wan went to her office and took out a map of Ronli County. There were seven places marked in red circles on the map.
These seven places are all factories involved in steel or hardware processing under Feng Zhigang's name, and they are all located in the southwest of Rongli County.
"If the place where he committed the crime was in Ronli County, then how did he bring Wang Daqiang to Ronli County? There must be traces in it!" Bai Mo immediately thought of the key to the problem.
"I contacted the traffic police to check last night, and I will have an answer soon," Lu Wan said.
From Meihai City to Ronli County, taking the highway is the best choice, but even if you take the provincial highway, you must pass through a bridge between Meihai City and Ronli County, which is monitored.
Not long after Lu Wan finished speaking, the traffic police team called. After putting down the phone, Lu Wan's expression became playful.
Lu Wan sneered, "He returned to Ronli County the day before Wang Daqiang disappeared, and at least he didn't drive to Ronli County alone after that."
Bai Mo was stunned, "In other words, after he came back the next day, he drove to the bridge where Wang Daqiang lived? Why didn't the time match?"
Looking at Lu Wan's disdainful expression, Bai Mo said nothing and continued to listen.
"This man was so smart that he was fooled by his cleverness!" Lu Wan said, "He must have never been to Rongli County again, because he self-righteously created an alibi for himself."
It is also a coincidence that this is a case that Lu Wan once encountered. The murderer misled the police and made them think that the crime was committed on the second day. In fact, the crime was committed on the first day. The murderer deliberately committed the crime on the first day after committing the crime. The next day, we went to the scene of the crime.
Lu Wan told Teng Jie about this case, and Teng Jie seemed to have used it in his book.
Lu Wan didn't notice this at first. When she saw that Feng Zhigang was in Ronli County the day before, she immediately thought of this case that Teng Jie also knew about.
Feng Zhigang is a loyal reader of Teng Jie, so it is not surprising that he borrowed the modus operandi from the book.
Lu Wan's thinking gradually became more active. If so, would there be many shadows of Teng Jie's novels in the details of Feng Zhigang's crime?
"I have to go home." Lu Wan left these words and walked out of the office without looking back.
Bai Mo and Qin Youwei looked at each other.
"This girl always does this." Qin Youwei smiled awkwardly, "She must have discovered some key clue."
Bai Mo shrugged, put away the third portrait and walked to the studio. He needed to draw a portrait of the deceased to facilitate the subsequent visit.
After entering the studio, Yang Lu, who was sitting on the chair, immediately stood up. After seeing clearly that the person coming was Bai Mo, she sat down again.
After Yang Lu arrived just now, Bai Mo directly asked her about the details of getting the scroll, and then went next door to report the situation to Lu Wan, without having time to say anything else to Yang Lu.
Today, Yang Lu didn't wear makeup and was wearing a set of loose casual clothes. Her hair was a little messy. She was obviously in a hurry and didn't even bother to take care of herself.
Yang Lu, who had been stared at by Bai Mo, felt uncomfortable all over. She seemed to be aware of her makeup and quickly lowered her head.
"Don't look at it! I sent the painting over in a hurry and didn't have time to put on makeup. It's so ugly!" Yang Lu said with a hint of grievance in his tone.
"You're not ugly! I think you look good without makeup." Bai Mo's words were entirely based on his aesthetic sense as a painter, and he was definitely not trying to make Yang Lu happy.
The little girl Yang Lu took it as a love word, her face turned red and her head lowered.
Bai Mo took a deep breath, looked at Yang Lu, who was completely faceless, and whispered: "I'm sorry for causing trouble to you!"
