In the studio, Yang Lu slowly raised his head to look at Bai Mo. When he found the latter's sincere eyes, Yang Lu only felt warm in his heart.
"What can I be sorry for?" Yang Lu glanced away and bit his lower lip, "I went to the autograph session by myself, and I invited you to the art exhibition. How can I blame you?"
Bai Mo grinned, sat on the chair, and brought a pen and paper.
At this moment, Yang Lu was sitting in Bai Mo's usual seat, which was at the innermost position. Bai Mo was sitting on a chair outside. He had to lean over when taking paper and pen.
Inadvertently, Bai Mo saw a piece of paper in front of Yang Lu, with a man's back drawn on it.
With just one glance, Bai Mo could tell that it was his back.
Yang Lu knew that Bai Mo had seen the sketch she drew. She gradually became nervous and looked at Bai Mo intently. She wanted to know what Bai Mo would say.
Unfortunately, after Bai Mo got the pen and paper, he took out the third painting and started painting without saying anything else.
The only sound left in the studio was the rustle of brushes rubbing against paper. Yang Lu held his chin in one hand and quietly looked at Bai Mo who was painting seriously.
This was a particularly beautiful scene. Yang Lu even wanted to pick up a paintbrush to record Bai Mo's work, but in the end she gave up. She was afraid that her poor painting skills would not be able to describe Bai Mo's charming smell.
"You stay at the police station today. I'll take you back when I'm done." Bai Mo suddenly spoke.
Yang Lu was startled and quickly broke away from his nymphomaniac state. He was relieved to find that Bai Mo was still painting seriously.
"Will the murderer attack me?" Yang Lu asked curiously. When she came to deliver the paintings in the morning, Bai Mo comforted her and said that she was not among the people targeted by the murderer.
"No, I'm afraid he will harass you." Bai Mo was multitasking, answering Yang Lu's question while painting, "The murderer's target is me. He thought you were my girlfriend, so he sent the painting to you on purpose. There, trying to stimulate me."
Normally, Yang Lu would blush with embarrassment when she heard someone thought she was Bai Mo's girlfriend, but this time she became nervous.
Yang Lu asked excitedly: "Why? Why did he target you?"
Bai Mo paused for a moment, and then told the murderer's motives, including that he was Teng Jie's reader, had seen them in the bookstore, and that the murderer had appeared at the art exhibition.
In order to make Yang Lu alert enough, Bai Mo chose to violate the confidentiality regulations for solving the case. However, he did not name the murderer, but just let Yang Lu know the causes and consequences of the case.
Perhaps there was another reason. He didn't want Yang Lu to worry too much about him. After all, Feng Zhi just targeted Bai Mo because of Bai Mo's talent in painting.
After listening to Bai Mo's words, Yang Lu showed a confused expression, "How strange!"
"What's weird?" Bai Mo put down his painting brush. He had already completed the portrait of the third deceased.
"According to what you said, the murderer was just targeting you. He gave the painting to me just to stimulate you. The people he targeted were all homeless people, and he would definitely not attack me. Why did you send me back?" Yang Lu smiled strangely.
Bai Mo glared at Yang Lu angrily, "Then I won't see you off. I'll call you a car later."
"No, no, no! Can't you even make a joke?" Yang Lu gave Bai Mo a resentful look, pouted and said, "But I really feel that the murderer you are talking about is weird."
Bai Mo saw that Yang Lu was not joking this time, so he asked, "How do you say it?"
Yang Lu and Feng Zhigang have something in common. They are both fans of Teng Jie's books and love painting, so Bai Mo is not surprised that Yang Lu would find a problem.
"I am also a fan of Teng Jie. I have read all his published novels, which can be considered a hardcore level." Yang Lu thought, "It is difficult for detective novel fans like us to discover "The Last Supper" because of you. Jealous of the cover’s secret.”
"Oh?" Bai Mo sat up straight and motioned for Yang Lu to continue.
"We read detective novels just to follow the author to find the murderer. Everyone's abilities vary. Some people can find the murderer after reading half of the book. Some people still need to read the comments after reading the book to understand why that person is the murderer. This is normal. Ah!" Yang Lu said.
"So..." Bai Mo vaguely understood what Yang Lu meant, but couldn't sum it up in words for a while.
"I don't think this reason is enough for the murderer to target you." After Yang Lu finished speaking, he shook his head, "In other words, he is a fan of Teacher Teng. In comparison, Teacher Teng's importance should still be with you. The above is correct. If I were asked to put myself in his shoes, I would still choose to send the painting to Teacher Teng. After all, my original intention of committing the crime was to attract Teacher Teng's attention!"
Bai Mo nodded slowly with his mouth tightened.
This is a logic question!
Feng Zhigang planned to commit the crime a long time ago. He spent a long time collecting various materials to make criminal tools. At that time, his target must be Teng Jie. There must be a very important reason that prompted him to commit the crime.
If the motive for murder has a proportion, then Teng Jie's proportion must be very high. Feng Zhigang has made so many preparations for Teng Jie.
But after the autograph session and art exhibition, Feng Zhigang's target became Bai Mo, and he even showed obvious provocative behavior when chatting with Bai Mo. In addition, Feng Zhi had just sent the painting to Yang Lu, so it was obvious that he was targeting Bai Mo.
In other words, Bai Mo's proportion has exceeded Teng Jie!
Why did Feng Zhigang suddenly change his target to him?
Bai Mo had a guess that there must be something about him that attracted Feng Zhigang, but what was it?
"No!" Bai Mo muttered, and he suddenly found a gap.
According to the previous hypothesis, Feng Zhi just met Bai Mo at the art exhibition and locked in Bai Mo at the book signing. So why did he have to wait a week before sending the second painting to Bai Mo?
You know, Feng Zhi had just completed the second painting long before that day. He could have sent the painting to Bai Mo a week in advance.
In other words, something happened during this week's gap period that made Feng Zhigang change his target to him.
······
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Xiaoxiao sent a shocking message to the Criminal Police Team's WeChat group.
Teng Jie entered the sea view villa area, and found through the surveillance in the community that he walked into Feng Zhigang's house.
In the sea view villa area, when Feng Zhigang saw Teng Jie standing outside the fence gate, he was stunned. He even forgot that he was watering and maintained the watering posture for ten seconds.
Teng Jie outside the door showed a gentleman's smile and pointed to the kettle in Feng Zhigang's hand.
Only then did Feng Zhigang realize that he was watering the water. He quickly lifted the kettle and smiled awkwardly through the fence.
"Won't you invite me in?" Teng Jie said.
