I played the devil's game with Yang Shou, and I got into the soul with one shot!

"Oh, yes, that's right. I was just giving Teacher Su a little hypnosis treatment a while ago."

"Teacher Su was chatting with me and we talked about the inspiration for this painting. Oh, and he also showed me a photo."

"What photos?" Zhou Yiqing frowned.

"It was just a picture of a tree, and then looking through the neon lights. Teacher Su said it was just a casual shot."

"As soon as I saw the photo, it inspired me. Plus, the photo already had a good color scheme and a strong sense of atmosphere, so I processed it based on my impression and gave it a hazy feel."

"Uncle Ji, do you know what is written on this neon sign?"

"Remember, Nuanxue, it's a nice name. The weather has been cold these days, I'm afraid it's going to snow."

Okay, okay, after just a few words, the criticism is directed at me again, right?

Su Yi kept a fake smile on his face, and faced the questioning looks of Zhou Yiqing, Karl and the other three without moving an inch.

“Then Teacher Su shouldn’t have shown you this photo on his mobile phone, right?” Karl asked with a smile.

"Oh, indeed. How would you know? He showed me a Polaroid photo that had a very textured feel. That's why I thought it would be nice to paint it in oil. The original photo already had a very good atmosphere."

"And what about that photo?"

"This... Teacher Su just took a look at it for me. You can ask Teacher Su." Ji Shiqing looked at Su Yi and saw that Su Yi remained silent as if he sensed something was wrong.

"...What's wrong with this painting or photo?" Ji Shiqing looked at Karl and Zhou Yiqing in front of him.

"It's okay, I'm just curious. Xiao...Su, the teacher also knows painting." Zhou Yiqing emphasized the word "Xiao Su".

"Right, Teacher Su is multi-talented, so you need to get in touch with him more often." Ji Shiqing smiled and nodded towards Su Yi, as if to say you're welcome.

Thank you, you are so nice.

Su Yi's professional fake smile was already a little too much to hold back...

Very good. I came here to question you, but now you’re doing a 360-degree Thomas spin, right?

Isn't the suspicion now on me again?

Su Yi felt like a dumb person who had eaten a mouthful of Coptis chinensis, unable to express his pain.

"I wonder, Professor Ji, which works of Teacher Su have you seen?" Carl asked with interest.

"This is just about the escape and redemption back then..." Ji Shiqing replied, and then he seemed to remember something and sighed for some reason.

"Professor Ji, stop hiding it and tell me." Carl keenly noticed that Ji Shiqing seemed to know something.

"That's all." Ji Shiqing said while looking at Zhou Yiqing with a smile.

"Could it be... a portrait of Song Zhiqian?" Carl immediately saw Ji Shiqing's reaction and immediately thought of Song Zhiqian.

"Hey, you..." Ji Shiqing glanced at Su Yi, then looked at everyone.

Carl pretended to be careless and said something he didn't mean to hide.

"Ah, that's right, you should have been to Teacher Su's home. It turns out he left the painting at home."

"Yes, we have all seen it. When did Teacher Su paint this picture?" Zhou Yiqing seemed to be asking Su Yi, but his eyes were looking at Ji Shiqing.

"Teacher Su..."

"It's okay, just go ahead." What else could he do? Su Yi was speechless in his heart, but he spoke gently on the surface.

"Oh, nothing much, except for the art exhibition a few years ago. Recently, I saw Teacher Su in the school studio, painting alone. He happened to be painting a portrait of Teacher Song Zhiqian."

"It's such a great painting." Ji Shiqing exclaimed, "It even captures the spirit of the painting."

"I was thinking that you painted this for Teacher Song, and was waiting for the day when you would give it to her...but I didn't expect...this would happen..." Ji Shiqing sighed again, as if the joy just now no longer existed.

"You must catch the murderer!" Ji Shiqing said to Karl and Zhou Yiqing after he paused.

"Of course, it's my duty." Zhou Yiqing said affirmatively.

"Okay, Uncle Ji, we'll leave first and not disturb you anymore." Zhou Yiqing said goodbye with a smile.

"I just arrived. Won't you sit for a while?"

"Next time."

"That's right, you are busy, I won't keep you here, I must bring X to justice."

"We will……"

……

After the farewell,

The five people were silent in the elevator.

The elevator on the 18th floor slowly went down.

"I think we need to talk more." Zhou Yiqing said.

"I think I'd rather talk to a lawyer." Su Yi twitched the corner of his mouth.

"Don't be nervous, Captain Zhou won't do anything like that again." Carl said with a smile.

"That's hard to say..." Su Yi stared at the elevator door without looking away.

"Don't worry. Now I just want to know why that painting with so many suspicious points seems to be painted by you who instigated Professor Ji. Did you have a plan in advance? Or what? You are becoming more and more suspicious, and I am finding it more and more difficult to understand you." Zhou Yiqing also looked straight ahead and said coldly.

"If I planned this, what did I gain? It didn't shift the suspicion onto Professor Ji. On the contrary, I became more suspicious." Su Yi said bluntly.

"Perhaps you have lost your memory and missed some steps? Did you originally want to put the blame on Professor Ji?"

"Someone is framing me now. Please don't drag me into framing others. Since I am the most suspected now, where does the word 'blame' come from? Judging from the results, I am the only one being framed by others, don't you think so?" Su Yi put his hands in his pockets, still looking at the elevator door.

"I agree." Zhou Yiqing said coldly.

Su Yi was stunned. He didn't expect Zhou Yiqing to give such an answer.

"Remember your words." Su Yi also said coldly.

Tang Hu and Xia Shi stayed in silence for almost the entire afternoon. With the presence of Captain Zhou and Karl, they were able to quickly sort out the ideas in a few words. This made them feel it was natural and they studied quietly on the side.

On the contrary, what the two of them did not expect was that Captain Zhou, who had been so suspicious of Su Baiqing, suddenly agreed with what Su Baiqing said.

Karl raised his eyebrows, and was very pleased to see that Su Yi and Zhou Yiqing had reached a consensus without even turning their heads. "In this case, let's start with Professor Ji and study all his paintings and why there are no signs of living in his house."

"Also, find where Teacher Su's Polaroid is."

"You must have illegally installed surveillance cameras in his house just now." Zhou Yiqing said.

"Pay attention to the wording. It's special, not illegal," Carl corrected.

Ding,

The elevator door opens.

Su Yi knew that something seemed to be wrong again, and the possibility that he was X increased greatly again.

Only he himself knew clearly that if it was true as Ji Shiqing said, that he gave him a Polaroid photo of the crime scene and gave him inspiration...it might really be a small foreshadowing he made.

After all, the subsequent events were caused by my sudden appearance... which led to the failure of Su Baiqing's plan as X...

Therefore, his plan may have only been half completed, leading to the current outcome...

Also, the portrait of Song Zhiqian hanging on the bedside was actually painted by myself...

Can you draw?

So much information came at once, making Su Yi's understanding of himself, Su Baiqing, even more confusing.
