Chen Mu never expected that he would be involved in the massacre of his family just by drawing a picture.
What made his hair stand on end was. The Wang family would be wiped out.
That was a big family that had been entrenched in Qingshan County for decades.
Staring at the portrait with the missing head, Chen Mu's mind was racing with thoughts.
"Come with me." Mr. Lu turned around and was about to take Chen Mu back to the back hall.
The county lieutenant said that Chen Mu could not be let go, so he could only lock Chen Mu up temporarily.
Lu Captou couldn't help but feel a pity in his heart.
It's easy to get into jail, but it's hard to get out.
The circumstances of the Wang family's extermination case were egregious, and the county magistrate was under great pressure.
Maybe you'll end up finding a scapegoat to take the blame.
This scholar who was involved with the Wang family... Mr. Lu didn't dare to think about it anymore.
"Wait!" Chen Mu called out to Lu Baotou.
In my previous life, I had no relatives or friends, and was alone.
Being imprisoned in a prison with no one walking around outside, one really has no choice but to resign oneself to fate.
"What I drew was a complete portrait. If the head disappeared, someone must have played a trick and used a special technique to erase the head!" Chen Mu said in a deep voice.
The second-level drawing skill gave him a huge reserve of knowledge.
Staring at the headless portrait, a paint recipe gradually came to mind.
He approached the portrait and sniffed quietly. Amidst the rich fragrance of ink, a faint fragrance came from the paper, and Chen Mu became more and more confident.
"You can't prove it," said Mr. Lu.
"There is a way!" Chen Mu stared at Mr. Lu closely.
"This painting is a portrait of the head of the Wang family. The paper and pigments are exquisite, and combined with my painting skills on the back of the paper, it can be preserved for decades without fading." Chen Muyan said with certainty.
In fact, the liquid medicine that can eliminate pigment ink is not completely effective and leaves residue.
Of course he couldn't tell the other party directly about the potion.
This would also increase his suspicion.
"As long as the framer peels the painting off from the middle, you will definitely be able to see the paint residue. This is enough to prove that what I painted is a complete portrait!"
"Wait here." Mr. Lu walked out of the lobby holding the portrait.
The scribes in the six offices of the county government are all scholars, and many old scribes are good at mounting art.
…
Half an hour later, in the county government office hall.
"There is no way to say that evil spirits are causing trouble." Du County Lieutenant stared at the lifelike portrait with a sad look on his face.
Evil spirits will not erase the heads of portraits if they kill people.
It is obvious that thieves are making trouble and are trying to make things mysterious.
"It seems that the scholar is indeed meeting at the right time." Lu Baotou said.
"Well, he is still a talented person." Du Xianwei now had time to observe the portrait.
The three-dimensional portrait and realistic effect immediately refreshed him.
He had never seen this kind of painting before.
"If the portraits on the wanted poster were as lifelike as this painting, there would be no robbers that could not be caught." Lieutenant Du Xian's heart moved: "I am interested in meeting this scholar."
"The anti-evil mirror really didn't respond?" Du Xianwei confirmed again.
"No."
"Let's go meet this scholar." Du Xianwei said calmly.
…
"Mr. Chen is a great talent. His painting skills really opened my eyes." Du Xianwei walked out of the back hall and said with admiration on his face.
"This is Lieutenant Du of our county." Lu Baotou introduced from the side.
Chen Mu cupped his hands and saluted: "I have met Du County Lieutenant."
He has obtained information from the memory of his predecessor.
I know that the county captain is equivalent to the vice president of the company. The Qingshan County Yamen is second only to the county magistrate and is mainly responsible for domestic security.
The murder of the Wang family was within the jurisdiction of the other party.
"This county lieutenant has found out. The Wang family's murder case has nothing to do with you. You just happened to meet it. You can go home in peace later." Du County Lieutenant waved his hand.
"Thank you, County Lieutenant!" Chen Mu breathed a sigh of relief.
"I think Mr. Chen's painting skills are realistic. If you can come to the county government to help draw wanted portraits, it will definitely improve the security of our county. I don't know Mr. Chen..." Du Xianwei said calmly.
"No problem." Chen Mu agreed decisively.
He couldn't help but agree.
Captain Du Xian nodded with satisfaction, and then asked casually: "Master Chen can tell that someone deliberately erased the portrait. Does he know anything about this special technique?"
learn? Not only do I understand it, I can also prepare that potion!
But I can't say.
Chen Mu pretended to think, and shook his head with a wry smile for a while: "My father mentioned this method of removing paint before his death, but I only heard about it, and I don't know the specifics."
Lieutenant Du Xian nodded. He didn't expect a poor scholar to know this secret method.
Just as he was about to say goodbye, Chen Mu suddenly said: "It is said that the top painters from Qingshan County are gathered in the Miao Painting Workshop in the east of the city. The people there may know something."
The corner of Mr. Lu's mouth twitched sharply as he stood beside him.
"Miao Painting Workshop?!" Du Xianwei's eyes suddenly lit up: "Captain Lu, please lead people to capture the painters of Miao Painting Workshop immediately."
Captain Lu turned his head and glanced at Chen Mu, who was smiling as if it had nothing to do with him. The corner of his eye couldn't help but twitch.
This scholar is really vindictive.
…
Ping'an Square, the Chen family residence.
Chen Mu sat silently at the square table in the living room, his face uncertain.
First, Painter Yan sent people to block the door.
If Mr. Lu hadn't arrived in time, he would have been beaten severely.
Then he was arrested and taken to the county government, and was implicated in the massacre of his family.
Although he has been released now, there is no guarantee that he will not be arrested again in the future.
If a major case of family extermination cannot be solved, the county government will definitely find a scapegoat for the sake of political performance.
As a poor scholar who is involved in the case, he is the best candidate!
"I can't help myself!" Chen Mu sighed.
Today's encounter gave him a clear understanding.
This is no longer the stable and prosperous country in the previous life, but a chaotic ancient world.
He has to learn to protect himself!
"It's impossible to practice martial arts in a short time, but you have to find something to defend yourself."
Chen Mu immediately thought of lime powder.
This thing is cheap and plentiful, and it can perform miraculous feats unexpectedly.
He made up his mind to prepare it for himself later.
"You also need to have some power."
He had no understanding of the martial arts in this world and did not dare to practice randomly on his own. He could only read through his memories of past lives.
In the past life, there was an explosion of information. I knew a little bit about various fighting techniques, but they were not systematic.
After thinking about it for a long time, a vague memory came to mind.
He seemed to have read about the training method of the Natural Gate Locust Stone.
Locust stones are small stones that can be seen everywhere.
It is easy to obtain materials and simple to practice. You can gradually improve the accuracy and strike strength, and the power will naturally increase.
Chen Mu immediately went to the yard to collect gravel.
Then put the basin for washing your face against the wall.
Five steps away, he took stones and threw them into the tub.
All the more than twenty stones in his hand were thrown into the wooden basin. Chen Mu picked up the stones and stepped back six steps away from the wooden basin to continue throwing.
When he started throwing eight meters away, a stone finally fell outside the tub.
Chen Mu is no longer continuing to increase the distance, but is practicing hard at the current position.
I kept throwing it until my arms were sore and the intensity weakened, when a feeling of realization suddenly appeared in my heart.
The throwing technique was adjusted subconsciously, and the movements suddenly became less laborious and lighter.
Chen Mu thought.
Gray walls emerge.
Writing: 1043/10000/second level;
Picture: 157/10000/second order;
Throw: 26/10000/level one;
Chen Mu took a deep breath.
Next is the part that he is familiar with.
Practice.
