Special Case Investigation Team III

In the meeting room of the Public Security Bureau, the special case team and the criminal police of Yongfeng Public Security Bureau are having a meeting.

Song Zhiqian spoke on behalf of the Public Security Bureau, "The murderer knew the victim, the murderer had a certain degree of artistic accomplishment, and the murderer was familiar with Lu Lanyan's paintings. Based on these points, I think we should bring Cheng Peike back to the Public Security Bureau."

Another policeman also said: "Yes, and he was near the crime scene when the victim died. We need to find out if the missing Cai Dong is locked in the basement of his house."

Cheng Jin did not object. His original intention was to inform others of the current progress, and Cheng Peike would definitely come to cooperate with the police to assist in the investigation of this case. "Be polite to him, because if we can't find any definite evidence, we will have to deal with it soon." Let him go, he's a public figure, don't get too stiff with him."

"You mean we don't arrest him, but invite him to be our guest?"

"Yes." Cheng Jin said, "It would be best if he is willing to cooperate proactively. But you still need to apply for a search warrant. You go to his house and have a look, You Duo, you go together and see if you can find anything." You Duo never forgets If Cheng Peike has something related to the case at home, he will definitely notice it.

You Duo said: "Okay."

Cheng Jin said: "Then that's it, I will let Bu Huan and Ye Zi bring Cheng Peike back, and you go to his house now?" He looked at his phone, "It is a quarter past six, evening rush hour, you should be around 07:30 Can I go to his house?"

Song Zhiqian looked serious, "Must arrive before 07:30? Is there any special reason?"

"No. I'm just wondering when I will receive your search results." Cheng Jin smiled, "Then, let's end the meeting if there is nothing else to do. Thank you for your hard work."

Everyone got up one after another and walked out of the meeting room.

Cheng Peike is very talkative. After Ye Lai and Bu Huan showed him his identity as a policeman, he followed them into the car, and he didn't seem to know that he had become a suspect.

On the side of the Public Security Bureau, Xiaoan dug up a lot of gossip about Cheng Peike and Lu Lanyan, "They have been married for five years, of course, they have only been together for three years. They are very famous in the circle...some It's an interesting incident, Chunyu Xiao knows them very well."

"Isn't this normal?" Cheng Jin didn't find it strange. In his opinion, art and music are both art.

"It's not normal." Yang Simi fumbled in Cheng Jin's pocket.

Cheng Jin grabbed his hand, "What are you looking for? Candy? I ate it all."

Yang Simi looked at him and blinked suspiciously, "When?"

Cheng Jin smiled and said, "Just when you fell asleep..."

Xiao An said: "Chunyu Xiao lived in their house for more than two years, until Lu Lanyan went to the mental hospital after the onset of illness."

Yang Simi said: "I didn't fall asleep."

"Yeah." Cheng Jin put his arms around him, but focused on other things, "Why does Chunyu Xiao live in their house? Are they relatives?"

Xiao An said: "No, according to them, they hit it off right away, and all three of them said so."

"...Really?" Cheng Jin looked to the side, wanting to hear other people's opinions, but Bu Huan and Ye Lai were not there, but Han Bin came back.

Han Bin said succinctly: "I don't understand."

Cheng Jin didn't quite understand either, single women seldom live with newlyweds, right?Or do artists think differently than ordinary people?Cheng Jin was thinking, when Yang Simi suddenly pulled him over and kissed him, Cheng Jin didn't even have time to push him away.After entangled for a while, Yang Simi let go of Cheng Jin, "You haven't eaten." He got up and walked away, found Cheng Jin's coat hanging by the wall, and accurately grabbed a handful of candy from his pocket.

"..." Cheng Jin pursed his lips, "Xiao An, you continue."

Xiao An said: "Therefore, Chunyu Xiao and Cheng Peike's scandals have always been rumored. Many people think that they are related, and some people think that Lu Lanyan will suffer from mental illness because of their stimulation."

Han Bin said: "It's a neuropathy. It's her nervous system that has a disease, and her family has a genetic history of this."

"Yes, crazy." Xiao An looked at Cheng Jin with his chin in his hand, "Later, Lu Lanyan was hospitalized, and Cheng Peike had to take care of the elderly at home, so Chunyu Xiao stayed with her for a long time in the hospital, and then Chunyu Xiao moved out of their house. Maybe they're good friends."

Cheng Jin said, "It's up to the person involved."

"But they don't tell the truth." Yang Simi peeled off a candy, "Do you want it?" Although he was asking Cheng Jin, he put it in his mouth.

Cheng Jin smoothed Yang Simi's hair, "No, you can eat it. Let's ask Cheng Peike when he comes."

Half an hour later, Cheng Peike arrived. Cheng Jin and Yang Simi went to chat with him. The others were sitting in the next room eating boxed lunches and watching the live broadcast. Bu Huan asked, "Where's You Duo?"

"Going to his house." Xiao An raised his chin to signal Bu Huan to look at Cheng Peike on the screen, then pouted, "This egg fried rice is so oily..."

Bu Huan gloated, "You chose it yourself."

Ye Lai said: "Do you want to change with me?"

"What kind of dish do you have?" Xiao An studied it for a while, "I will share half of it with you, and you will also share my egg fried rice with half."

In the next room, Cheng Peike looked at the empty room, then at Cheng Jin and Yang Simi sitting across the table, "Is this an interrogation?"

Cheng Jin said: "I need your help to confirm some things. Two of your friends were murdered recently." He put the photos of Wu Xi and Zheng Wanwei on the table, "How much do you know about this?"

Cheng Peike frowned, "I don't know how much, I only know that they are dead, and no one knows exactly what happened."

"By 'who' you mean those friends in your circle who don't know what's going on?"

"Yes, that's right."

Cheng Jin said: "Is there anyone who pays special attention to these two cases?"

Cheng Peike said: "Special? No, everyone is very nervous. Because I heard that Cai Dong disappeared."

Cheng Jin said, "You know about this?"

Cheng Peike said: "His family is looking for him everywhere, and I heard that you are also looking for him."

Cheng Jin said: "Do you know why he disappeared?"

Cheng Peike shook his head, "I don't know, maybe I just turned off my phone and went out to relax? Some people like to do that."

Cheng Jin said, "Have you ever done this before?"

Cheng Peike said: "I had it when I was young. I don't know what these have to do with the case?"

"Then let's talk about something related to the case." Cheng Jin put the photo of Lu Lanyan's painting on the table, "Are you familiar with it?"

Cheng Peike looked at the photo, and asked after a while, "Where did this photo come from?"

"It was provided by others." Cheng Jin said, "Has Lu Lanyan painted similar paintings?"

"I do not know."

Cheng Jin was a little surprised, "You don't know?"

Cheng Peike shook his head.

"You are her husband and also her manager."

Cheng Peike frowned, "That doesn't mean I appreciate every painting she draws. You guys want to talk to me about the case, right? I'm very concerned about why my friend did that. I hope I can help. But what do these things you are asking have anything to do with the case?"

"It has a lot to do with it." Cheng Jin put the photos of the crime scene on the table, "Does it look familiar?"

Cheng Peike looked at those photos and was stunned, "This is..." Then he picked up those photos and looked at them carefully, "What's going on here?"

Yang Simi said: "Some people appreciate Lu Lanyan's painting style."

"No..." Cheng Peike shook his head, "Her original style is not like this, she...I think this series is very dark and uncomfortable, I had an argument with her about it...I later found out that it was her nerves Something went wrong with the system, I think that's why she started drawing those pictures, she was hallucinating, like seeing a lot of things she shouldn't see... She started drawing these weird pictures, I guess she at least drew More than three, I don't know... Except for the first one, I haven't looked at the others carefully, and since she went to the nursing home, she doesn't let me see her paintings anymore..."

Cheng Jin said, "Is she in a nursing home now?"

Cheng Peike said: "In Xingshan Nursing Home, as far as I know, she was not allowed to leave the hospital."

Cheng Jin said, "When was the last time you went to see her?"

Cheng Peike said: "About a month ago."

Cheng Jin said: "There are more than three paintings, and you neither remember the content of the paintings, nor have you taken any photos?"

"Feel sorry……"

Cheng Jin said, "Where are those paintings now?"

Cheng Peike said: "I don't know, she took them all away."

Cheng Jin said: "We will contact her. Do you know who else has seen those paintings?"

"Those paintings have never been made public."

Cheng Jin said: "Where's Chunyu Xiao? Has she seen those paintings? She has lived with you for so long."

Cheng Peike said, "I've seen it."

Yang Simi said: "Unlike you, she likes those paintings."

"Yes." Cheng Peike said, "They admire each other very much, perhaps because they have similar experiences."

Both Chunyu Xiao and Lu Lanyan became famous when they were young, and both became famous abroad first.Cheng Jin said: "Did they know each other a long time ago?"

"No, I only met after returning to China. I met Chunyu Xiao first, and Lan Yan didn't pay much attention to the outside world."

Yang Simi said, "You have a sexual relationship with Chunyu Xiao?"

"No!" Cheng Peike blushed, "Nothing happened between us. What right do you have to ask?"

Yang Simi said: "Chunyu Xiao knows and likes those paintings. She has creative ability and artistic talent. She knows the victim and has a bad relationship. I think it is very necessary for us to get to know her better."

Cheng Jin didn't know that Chunyu Xiao had a bad relationship with the victim. No one pointed this out, but judging from Chun Yuxiao's character, she probably wouldn't go out of her way to befriend someone. "I think you have feelings for each other."

Cheng Peike's expression changed, and he finally said, "Maybe. But nothing happened between us."

Yang Simi said, "Are you sorry?"

Cheng Jin coughed lightly, shook Yang Simi's hand, looked at Cheng Peike and said, "It's very presumptuous to ask. But why not? After all, with your wife's current situation, there is no obstacle between you. "He was eager to figure out the personalities of the three men.

Cheng Peike frowned, "There is no reason. I have never talked with her about this. I think I have said everything I should say. If you have no other questions, can I leave?"

No why.Endless feelings?Just like how he liked Lu Lanyan at first and then changed? "Okay, I don't have any more questions, but please wait a moment, just a few minutes." Cheng Jin pulled Yang Simi out of the room.

After going out, they came to the next door, and Bu Huan laughed and said, "Love forbearance, does he like his wife or Chunyu Xiao?"

No one paid him any attention.Cheng Jin asked Ye Lai, "Is there any news?"

Ye Lai said: "You Duo just called to say that he didn't find Cai Dong at his house, but he found some group photos, maybe the murderer is someone in those group photos."

"Well." Cheng Jin said, "Then let him go. We have no reason to keep him here."

Ye Lai said: "Following him?"

Cheng Jin nodded, "Let the Public Security Bureau arrange someone to follow him." He looked at Han Bin, "Where did Qin Yue see that painting?"

Han Bin said: "Lu Lanyan's studio."

"Got to figure out how many people actually saw those paintings."

"It is estimated that it will be difficult."

Xiao An looked at them, "What about Chunyu Xiao? Could she be the murderer? I like her a lot."

Han Bin said objectively: "The victim has drugs in his body. The murderer may not have used physical strength to subdue the victim. The murderer may be a woman."

Bu Huan asked, "What's the motive?"

Xiao An said: "It may be that someone has a mental illness or a neurological attack."

Han Bin said: "Then it's best to see if Lu Lanyan has been in the Xingshan Sanatorium all the time."

Cheng Jin said: "Yezi, you go and make a call and ask. There is also Chunyu Xiao, let someone find her. I will send Cheng Peike out."

"Oh, good. I'll have someone wait at the door."

Yang Simi suddenly said: "I want all the music Chunyu Xiao created." He looked at Xiao An.

Xiao An nodded obediently, "It should be available online, I'll find it for you."

Cheng Jin looked at Yang Simi, "Suddenly want to hear it?"

"Yes. I also want all the paintings drawn by Lu Lanyan."

Xiao An said: "Got it, I'll find it for you."

Cheng Jin and Yang Simi sent Cheng Peike to the gate of the Public Security Bureau, watched him get into a taxi, and watched the plainclothes police officers drive after him.The two walked back, Cheng Jin said: "Si Mi, I don't think he is a murderer."

"Ah."

Cheng Jin said again: "But he may know the murderer, although he didn't realize it."

"Ah."

Cheng Jin said, "Simi, what do you want to eat tonight?"

"Yezi bought takeaway."

Cheng Jin smiled and said, "I know, I'll just test to see if you listened to me."

Yang Simi said: "I didn't mean to listen. I just couldn't ignore it."

"……All right."

Yang Simi put his arms around Cheng Jin's neck and kissed him on the cheek, "I didn't say you were annoying."

"..." Cheng Jin was speechless.Yang Simi looked at him innocently.

Back in the office, Ye Lai said: "The Xingshan Nursing Home said that Lu Lanyan has been living with them and has never left. In addition, they accept visits from 11 am to 4 pm every day."

Cheng Jin nodded, "It seems that we can only go tomorrow."

Bu Huan said: "Chunyu Xiao is not at home. Her friends don't know where she is either. Or she has no friends who are close enough to know her whereabouts. I sent someone to guard near her house."

Cheng Jin said, "Very good."

Xiaoan raised her hand, "Mr. Yang, I have downloaded everything you want."

"Those paintings are all printed out, there is no need to scale them up, just small ones."

"it is good."

Yang Simi asked the others, "Do you want to listen to music?"

It was rare for Yang Simi to ask for other people's opinions, and everyone looked at each other, "Okay." "It's okay." "I think it's okay too."

"Xiao An, play the voice."

It was okay at first, it was a normal piece of music, then later, it turned into weird music, and then it seemed to be getting weirder and weirder, everyone was flustered, looked left and right, suspected that the conference room was haunted ...Bu Huan was the first to slip away...

Sitting next to Yang Simi, Cheng Jin listened carefully. After a long time, he hesitated to speak, but perhaps he shouldn't speak at this time?

Yang Simi looked at him, "What?"

Cheng Jin said: "This song seems familiar?"

Yang Simi looked at him, "Because this is the song from the musical that day."

Cheng Jin realized, "I said..."

Continue to enjoy the music.Yang Simi was listening and making marks on the printed out Lu Lanyan's painting. Cheng Jin looked at him and didn't ask him what he was doing.Yang Simi said, "Are you still listening?"

"No, I can't appreciate it." If he continued to listen attentively, Cheng Jin knew that he would definitely fall asleep, so let's do something else.

The corner of Yang Simi's mouth curved.

Cheng Jin said, "What are you laughing at?"

Yang Simi said: "If you bought me a piano, do you intend to watch me play it?"

Cheng Jin said with a smile: "Yes, it's beautiful and delicious, and we can save a lot of food expenses. But, like little stars, I should be able to understand."

Yang Simi looked away, "Chun Yuxiao wrote corresponding tunes for many of Lu Lanyan's paintings." He handed those paintings to Cheng Jin, "It's very interesting." He checked the catalog on the player, selected a song to play , "This is the song from the first crime scene. I don't know what the name of the painting is, but the song is called Wu Yuan. The painting from the second scene is not here, but there is a song called Xixin."

"A painting, a piece of music, a crime scene?"

Yang Simi said: "The crime scene arranged by the murderer is influenced by both paintings and music."

Cheng Jin said: "It means that the murderer knows both music and art, and is very familiar with Lu Lanyan and Chunyu Xiao? We need to find out if there is such a person besides Cheng Peike."

Yang Simi said: "Young, I feel that my talents are underappreciated, I look down on the people around him, and I have anti-social tendencies."

"Such a person shouldn't be hard to find?" Cheng Jin looked around the meeting room, Ye Zi and the others had already hidden out, and he smiled at Yang Simi, "Did I say that you are incomparable?"

Yang Simi blinked, "Oh..." His black and white eyes became brighter and brighter, "I think you said that."

"I think so too..." The two gradually approached...

In the corridor, Bu Huan came back after turning around, saw the situation inside through the glass on the meeting room door, he walked away silently, and stood leaning against the wall not far away.

Ye Lai came back and stopped beside him, "What are you doing?"

Bu Huan's face was full of pain and entanglement, "You have to admit that the music is ugly, right?"

Listening to the soul-stirring music wafting from the conference room, Ye Lai hesitated for a moment, "Uh, I think we may not be able to appreciate it..."

"It's just bad. Even Cheng Jin wouldn't say it's good. So, here's what I don't understand. How can such bad music arouse their interest?"

Ye Lai looked at the door of the meeting room not far away, "I guess I don't want to know what you are talking about..."

Bu Huan shrugged, "You know."
