Lu Wan leaned on her seat and looked at the roof of the car. With Teng Jie's prompting, she finally understood Feng Zhigang's method.
Misleading! Feng Zhigang has been using misleading methods to influence the police investigation.
First, Feng Zhigang appeared at the book signing and art exhibition. Bai Mo found Feng Zhigang by comparing the surveillance at the entrance, and the police began to investigate him.
Feng Zhigang's Land Rover appeared near the bridge where Wang Daqiang lived. This made the police basically certain that Feng Zhigang was related to Wang Daqiang's disappearance, so they monitored Feng Zhigang.
After that, Yang Pengyu suggested setting up a trap to invite him into the urn. Feng Zhigang suddenly left home and returned to Rongli County with the help of his driver, disappearing out of thin air.
It now seems that Feng Zhigang must have seen through Yang Pengyu's tricks at that time, and he was using his plan to his advantage.
Because Feng Zhigang had just returned to Ronli County, Lu Wan began to suspect that the crime scene was in Ronli County, which was Feng Zhigang's base camp and was indeed convenient for him to commit the crime.
Then Lu Wan discovered that Feng Zhigang had used time lag to create alibi, which further convinced her that the crime scene was in Rongli County. She had contacted the local police in the morning to assist in interviewing the other two people.
Teng Jie said, this is Feng Zhigang's clever technique, so you only need to use reverse thinking to analyze it.
Again, with Feng Zhigang's financial resources and connections, if he wanted to return to Ronli County quietly, the police would not be able to find him at all.
Therefore, Feng Zhigang’s purpose was to have the police focus their investigation on Rongli County.
Then the actual crime scene is absolutely impossible to be in Rongli County, and Feng Zhigang's other permanent residence is Meihai City.
"In the entire investigation of the case, almost all the clues were sent to the police by Feng Zhigang!" Teng Jie thought, "The only thing worth discussing is how we discovered him."
Lu Wan looked at Tengjie in confusion, "You mean he didn't appear in our field of vision on purpose?"
Teng Jie took a deep breath, "He sent the painting to the art exhibition the day before the autograph session. At that time, Feng Zhigang had not met Bai Mo. On the day of the autograph session, in the coffee shop, Yang Lu once said I was going to an art exhibition with Bai Mo. Their voices were quite loud at that time, and Feng Zhigang, who was across the table, should have been able to hear them."
"In other words, Feng Zhigang's original plan might not be to go to the art exhibition, but because Bai Mo was going, he took the risk and went to the art exhibition?" Lu Wan couldn't understand even more, "It was precisely because he went that we passed the surveillance in both places. After finding him, why would he risk going to the art exhibition?”
"First of all, because he guessed that Bai Mo was the one who understood the cover of "The Last Supper", he chose to go to the exhibition because he became interested in Bai Mo." Teng Jie said, "Secondly, he has already made a plan after being targeted by you. response plan, so he doesn’t feel like he’s taking a risk.”
Feng Zhigang himself admitted that he would definitely be discovered by the police sooner or later if he committed crimes continuously. For him, investigating Bai Mo was more valuable.
Facts also proved that Feng Zhigang's follow-up plan was very clever, and Lu Wan did target Rongli County in his investigation.
"But I still don't understand. Feng Zhi just prepared flowers, coffee, and a hand-painted cover for you. He wanted to attract your attention so much. Why did he suddenly turn his attention on Bai Mo?" This is the only thing Lu Wan can't understand. .
"If his target was Bai Mo, given his personality, maybe he would have sent the second painting to Bai Mo the day after the exhibition. Why do you think he took a week to send it to Bai Mo? In your hand?" Teng Jie asked.
Lu Wan understood and nodded slowly.
Obviously, this week is the key to Feng Zhigang's "transference of love", but what characteristics of Bai Mo attracted Feng Zhigang?
Lu Wan recalled what Bai Mo did that week. She remembered clearly that Bai Mo was investigating the first painting every day that week and stayed in the police force for several nights.
"It's definitely not a close encounter with Bai Mo. He doesn't have that many opportunities, so it can only be caused by investigating Bai Mo." Lu Wan shook her head in embarrassment.
Bai Mo's file was very simple. The only ones that aroused Feng Zhigang's interest were the two cases Bai Mo solved after becoming a police portraitist. However, the files of these two cases are still confidential, and Feng Zhigang could only get some basic information.
"I think..." Teng Jie looked out the car window to make sure there was no one nearby and then looked at Lu Wan, "There is something I need to confess to you."
Lu Wan was stunned for a moment and looked at Teng Jie with raised eyebrows.
This way of opening made Lu Wan couldn't help but think of some bloody scenes.
"I have always suspected that Bai Mo has a mental problem..." Teng Jie told Lu Wan his suspicions, including letting Bai Mo appreciate the cover and testing it in a coffee shop. "Unfortunately, there is no evidence so far, so I never told you."
Lu Wan understood why Teng Jie did this.
No one knows Teng Jie better than Lu Wan. She knows that Teng Jie is not only a writer, but also an excellent psychiatrist. If Lu Wan is given a choice, she will believe in Teng Jie without hesitation.
This is Teng Jie. Without sufficient evidence, he will not cause trouble to Lu Wantu at all. What's more, Bai Mo is Bai Ju's son, so Teng Jie will naturally be more cautious.
"Oh -" Lu Wan let out a long sigh, tilted her head and leaned towards Teng Jie. Teng Jie, who was sitting in the passenger seat, couldn't get over, so he could only move his shoulder as far as possible.
Lu Wan reluctantly leaned on Teng Jie's shoulder, showing a tired look on her face, "The case has not been solved yet, but I suddenly know that Bai Mo has a mental problem. What should I, the captain, do?"
Teng Jie stretched out his right hand and gently touched Lu Wan's forehead. He could feel Lu Wan's pressure. He suddenly regretted telling Lu Wan about this.
No matter how hard Feng Zhigang was and how tired Lu Wan was, she never felt discouraged. But when she heard that Bai Mo had a problem, Lu Wan gave Teng Jie a feeling that the sky had fallen.
Bai Mo is Bai Yonghui's son, and Bai Yonghui is Lu Wan's most respected master. The loss of his wife in middle age has already made Bai Yonghui go through many hardships. If Bai Mo has another problem, how will Bai Yonghui survive?
Furthermore, Bai Mo is Lu Wan's team member and Lu Wan's most promising crime-solving genius. Once such a potential person is determined to have psychological problems, he may not be able to become a criminal policeman.
These are the pressures on Lu Wan. This is not a case, and it is not something Lu Wan can control, so she shows such fatigue.
"So we have to catch Feng Zhigang as soon as possible. We will have free time after the case is closed." Teng Jie comforted, "At that time, let Bai Mo do a comprehensive psychological evaluation. If there are problems, I can formulate a treatment plan in time, saying Maybe we can cure Bai Mo before Bai Ju and others notice?"
Teng Jie was deliberately provoking Lu Wan, and he knew very well that this was the simplest and most effective way to give Lu Wan a psychological hint. As long as the case was solved, Bai Mo would be able to see a doctor immediately.
To Lu Wan's ears, this seemed like a promise. She did have an idea just as Teng Jie had predicted - as long as the case was solved, she would have time to help Bai Mo.
Lu Wan took a deep breath as her head lifted off Teng Jie's shoulder. She stopped discussing Bai Mo's psychological problems.
Teng Jie's understanding of Bai Mo came almost entirely from Lu Wan's description, so Lu Wan knew Bai Mo's problems better.
Bai Mo is a person who can know the murderer's thoughts. Lu Wan originally thought that Bai Mo had excellent criminal psychology talent, so he could know the murderer's thoughts.
She ignored another possibility, that there might be a murderous demon hiding in Bai Mo's heart.
And Feng Zhigang himself is a devil. Perhaps he saw something in Bai Mo that others could not see, so he developed a strong interest in Bai Mo.
The car started and Lu Wan was ready to take Teng Jie back to the police station.
The car entered the road, and Lu Wan was waiting for the green light at an intersection. Looking at the gradually decreasing numbers on the traffic light, the scene of alternating red, green, and yellow lights appeared in Lu Wan's mind.
"The alternation of red, yellow and green lights is fixed." Lu Wan said suddenly.
Hearing Lu Wan's abrupt words, Teng Jie instinctively looked at Lu Wan, who was staring at the traffic lights in the distance, his eyes shining with excitement.
Didi——
There was a rapid horn sound from the car behind, and Lu Wan, who recovered her senses, immediately drove through the traffic light.
"What did you find?" Teng Jie could see that Lu Wan was very excited at the moment.
Lu Wan did not answer Teng Jie, but dialed Bai Mo's number through the car computer.
"Hello?" Bai Mo answered the phone.
Lu Wan didn't pay attention to Bai Mo's feeble tone and asked in a deep voice: "Let me ask you, do you have a way to preserve your paintings? It's the same way to preserve the works of famous painters, to prevent the paint and paper from oxidizing."
"Definitely!" Bai Mo responded quickly, "The easiest way is to save it in a vacuum, put it in the frame, and then remove all the air and put it in a place where it is not exposed to light..."
Bai Mo paused and immediately shouted excitedly: "Is the order wrong? Wang Daqiang is the last victim, right?"
Lu Wan was stunned. She didn't expect that she just asked a question and Bai Mo understood her thoughts immediately.
"We'll talk after we go back to the police station." Lu Wan hung up the phone directly.
Teng Jie on the side also understood what Lu Wan meant. His eyes behind the gold-rimmed glasses kept turning, and then he showed an expression like this.
"It's all misleading!" At this moment, Teng Jie had to admit that he was shocked by Feng Zhigang's methods. If Lu Wan hadn't discovered it in time, they might have wasted more time.
According to the normal investigation method, the focus of the investigation must be Feng Zhigang's latest crime, which is the third painting.
Feng Zhigang disappeared for two days after returning to Rongli County. It is currently speculated that the place where he committed the crime was Meihai City. The focus of the police investigation will be the personal information of the deceased, how Feng Zhigang quietly returned to the city, and the location where Feng Zhigang committed the crime.
It is known that Feng Zhigang is killing people according to the killing techniques in Teng Jie's novel, but what if this is also his misdirection?
There is another basis for questioning this. The degree of oxidation of the paint and paper determined that the first painting and the second painting were completed more than half a year apart. This is also what Feng Zhigang sent to the police.
Moreover, the gap between the three paintings is too big, one is half a year and the other is one month, which is indeed a problem.
"I feel like it's something Feng Zhigang can do." Teng Jie looked at Lu Wan and smiled, his eyes full of appreciation and praise.
This may be the difference between criminal investigation enthusiasts and criminal investigation professionals. Teng Jie really didn't think of this, but he was still very happy because the person who thought of this was his woman.
