Chapter 36 Chapter 35 "You are very rude in this chapter."...

Wen Renyu is a very familiar name.

Chen Yan reached out to pick up the file and said, "I know this person."

"Do you know him?" Xu Liangyun said, "Are you familiar with him?"

"It's not bad, business contacts, the kind of friendship between gentlemen and gentlemen." Chen Yan said, "You should have found out. He is not a painter, but the manager of a gallery. He is usually in charge of managing paintings. When I want to hold an art exhibition I will also ask him for help... I really didn't know he was Senior Brother Wu Xiashu."

"When they were in graduate school, they were under the same professor." Xu Liangyun said, "But Wen Renyu said that they specialize in different areas. Wu Xiashu is in the direction of oil painting, and he is more in the direction of theory."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yan raised his head and asked, "Have you met him?"

"Not yet, I just made a phone call. After all, it is necessary to judge who has criminal tendencies, so Zhong Tang had an in-depth communication with him on the phone. The phone calls are recorded and archived. I know most of the information. I should have come to ask questions. But Wen Renyu said that I have something to do in the past two days, let me go to the gallery to find him again today."

Statement Yan nodded: "I have to go with you?"

"Of course, if you are here, maybe he will miss something." Xu Liangyun said, "Zhong Tang will follow."

Statement Yan: "How about Yang Lu?"

Xu Liangyun opened his mouth, and just when he was about to answer, a voice came in and answered for him: "It's almost the same as Fang Yun's time."

Xu Liangyun looked up.

Zhong Tang was carrying soy milk fritters and walking towards his seat.

He waved to Xu Liangyun: "Good morning."

While talking, he put the things on his workstation, then walked over with the soy milk, and while fiddling with the straw, he asked, "Where are you talking? Yang Lu?"

"En." Xu Liangyun responded, stretched out his hand and pressed Chen Yan's shoulder, habitually subconsciously declared his sovereignty in front of outsiders, and said, "I just finished talking to him about Wen Renyu."

"The other two didn't say anything?"

"not yet."

"I don't think the other two need to be mentioned." Zhong Tang said, "Don't we now believe that Wen Renyu is the real murderer?"

Statement: "...Have you confirmed it? Already."

"Yes." Xu Liangyun looked down at him, "I told you, the other two suspects are a girl who sings an opera and Wu Xiashu's postgraduate professor."

Chen Yan nodded, he remembered what Xu Liangyun said.

Xu Liangyun said: "This girl who sings an opera is a female Internet celebrity and is very famous on the video platform. In the past two days when Yang Lu disappeared, a group of music bloggers on that platform happened to host an offline party and shot a lot of videos together. , That girl is in almost every video. The party started four days ago, and she has no time to kill Yang Lu at all."

"As for the postgraduate professor, he did not have an alibi when Yang Lu died, and he is still suspicious of him now, but I prefer Wen Renyu."

Declare and ask: "Why?"

"Intuition." Xu Liangyun said, "And the murder scene is wrong."

"……What's wrong."

"According to the current situation, the prisoner who claims to be 'Wu Xiashu' regards killing people as he is creating a work. But Yang Lu's appearance is different from Fang Yun's. Fang Yun's appearance at that time can be said to be poignant , but Yang Lu... how should I put it, the scene was wild."

……wild.

This adjective is a bit too down-to-earth. The statement was silent for a moment and asked, "Is it more impactful?"

"……Correct."

Statements ask: "How impactful?"

Xu Liangyun said: "I won't show you the photos of the murder scene. To describe it, I can only say it's a painting of hell. The walls are all red, and there are hands drawn underneath, like horror movies. , even the ground is black.”

...then this is really shocking.

"It seems like two people are committing the crime." Zhong Tang took over the conversation and said, "So we analyzed it and thought it might be like this—the murderer arranged Fang Yun according to Wu Xiashu's painting, but died after that. Yang Lu followed his own style. Or, this is what he thinks is Wu Xiashu's style."

Statement: "...a bit confusing."

"Psychologically, it's very confusing." Zhong Tang laughed, "Wen Renyu is Wu Xiashu's senior brother. I must have seen him paint during his graduate school and had the most contact with him. He was born with weak color. It's quite possible to feel jealous of other people with normal drawing ability, so we decided it was probably him."

Statements are tired of half-understanding.

There was too much information, and he was a little dizzy, so he blinked and looked down at the information on the table.

Seeing this, Xu Liangyun said to him: "Take a look slowly, and tell me what you find."

Narrator nodded.

In addition to the two personal files, these materials also include the information of the professor who was responsible for bringing them when they were graduate students.The professor stated that he recognized him, and he also taught him. He was a sophomore art appreciation teacher. He was a good-tempered little old man, but he was not easy to mess with when he got angry.

Chen Yan scrolled down again, and saw the case report of Wu Xiashu's death.

The report stated that Wu Xiashu's home had been bombed so that no details could be found, but after dental DNA testing, it was confirmed that the deceased was Wu Xiashu.

"Speaking of which, I was a little surprised when I heard it." Chen Yan said while looking down, "Wu Xiashu actually chose to blow himself up."

Xu Liangyun kept looking down at him, and asked, "Why?"

"Don't you think people like him would choose to die in a more peaceful way?"

Xu Liangyun was startled.

But Zhong Tang didn't think it was wrong: "Not necessarily, it was probably stimulated by cancer. And his life experience is not very good, he is sick and weak, and the messy OnePlus will definitely have a mental breakdown. In the end, he chose to explode. But according to the current situation, it is very likely that the murderer in this case killed him and then caused the explosion, and it has nothing to do with how he wants to die."

The statement was weary, didn't say much, and flipped through two more pages of information in his hand.

Xu Liangyun did not pick out many materials for him to read, and most of them were related to Wu Xiashu.When Chen Yan scrolled down, a few hospital bills came into view.

"You look at it first, and when you think it's almost done, let's go to the gallery." Xu Liangyun glanced at his watch and said, "It takes half an hour to drive to the gallery."

-

Statement Yan didn't read the information much, and chose to go out with Xu Liangyun to meet the suspect after sitting for a while.

"I really can't see anything." He was a little embarrassed, "Sorry."

"It's okay, it's normal." Xu Liangyun said, "If you can't see it, it means that the information we found is correct, which is a good thing."

Half an hour later, Statement Yan stood in front of the gallery with Xu Liangyun and Zhong Tang.

This Monday, not many people came to see the painting, and the door was empty.

The name of the exhibition is written on the door of the gallery, as well as the names of several painters.The name is outlined on the wall with a design with a sense of design, and there are fine small characters and stick figures drawn with a few strokes below.

Statement Yan was attracted and wanted to go over to have a look.

Unfortunately, the two police officers are not impressed by art.Before Zhang Yan could take any steps, Xu Liangyun pulled his wrist and walked directly into the gallery, explaining his purpose to the front desk straight to the point.

The corners of his mouth twitched in displeasure, and he sighed secretly, thinking the same, now is not the time to look at paintings.

The front desk responded with a smile, and then went to call Wen Renyu.

Statement Yan looked up at Xu Liangyun.When Xu Liangyun was investigating the case, his face was very fierce, even when he looked around, he was very vigilant, his eyes were fierce like a wolf, and he was holding Chen Yan's hand very hard, as if he was afraid that he would be abducted suddenly.

Xu Liangyun's grip on him became stronger and stronger, and Chen Yan stood beside him, gradually unable to bear it anymore.

"Liangyun." He posted Xu Liangyun and said quietly, "Relax, my hand is really going to break."

Xu Liangyun: "..."

Xu Liangyun's face froze, and he relaxed his hands a little.

He leaned back and said to the statement, "Sorry."

The statement was attached to him, and he spoke in a low voice: "It's okay, I love you."

After the statement was exhausted, he took his hand backhand.

After the girl at the front desk finished calling, she said that Wen Renyu would be here soon, so please wait here for a while.

Wen Renyu will indeed come soon.In less than 5 minutes, he walked over from the gallery.

He was wearing a black suit and tie, a pair of shiny black leather shoes, and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses—just like the nurse said.

Before he came to him, Xu Liangyun narrowed his eyes.

Wen Renyu walked up to the three of them, and simply nodded to the two policemen. When she saw the statement, she looked a little puzzled, but laughed professionally, and called him: "Mr. Chen, you Why did you follow the police?"

The statement was not shy, and pointed at Xu Liangyun: "Follow the boyfriend. I am also being targeted, he is worried."

Wen Renyu was taken aback, and looked at Xu Liangyun.

Xu Liangyun's expression was not very friendly.

The captain of the criminal police is a good dog inside, but a wolf outside.Wen Renyu didn't dare to look at him too much, just glanced at him, then shook his eyes, smiled dryly, nodded to show that he understood, didn't say anything more, after saying that it was inconvenient to speak here, he invited them Into a tea room.

Wen Renyu served each of them a cup of hot tea.

"I'm really sorry, I went to meet a painter out of town this week." Wen Renyu said, "I heard everything on the phone, and I've explained everything I know. Do you have anything else to ask?"

Chen Yan sat next to Xu Liangyun and brought the tea.

The temperature of the tea is not hot, it is very mild, it can warm your hands when you hold it, and it is still steaming upwards.

Chen Yan lowered his head and blew on the tea twice, took a sip, then quietly turned his head to look at Xu Liangyun.

Xu Liangyun was actually looking at him.

After the two looked at each other, Xu Liangyun looked away, picked up the teacup on the table, and asked without raising his head, "Which artist did you go to see?"

"?"

Wen Renyu blinked, obviously caught off guard by this question.

"...Wang Ming, the master Wang Ming who painted landscapes." Wen Renyu said, "What's wrong?"

Zhong Tang leaned forward and looked at his mobile phone, and asked, "You said on the phone that you went to Ancheng?"

"Correct."

Having said that, Wen Renyu finally understood why they asked these questions.

Wen Renyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "You don't doubt me anymore, do you?"

"What you do is this kind of job of doubting people." Zhong Tang smiled and said, "You can live with peace of mind only if we are suspicious, Mr. Wen."

"...Mr. Police Officer." Wen Renyu said, "I understand what you mean, but I have to correct you, my surname is not Wen."

Zhong Tang: "..."

Wen Renyu laughed: "My surname is Wenren, this is a compound surname."

The smile on Zhong Tang's face collapsed a bit.

Seeing that Zhong Tang's face was going to lose, Xu Liangyun quickly cleared his throat and said, "Sorry, we were rude, don't worry about it."

Wen Renyu smiled gently at him: "No."

Xu Liangyun said: "You are only under suspicion, and you don't need to be so stressed. Many things can't be explained clearly on the phone, so we need to talk face to face. Don't be nervous, let's chat casually first."

"Okay, what are we talking about?"

"Of course it is Wu Xiashu, he is the key to this case." Zhong Tang quickly adjusted his state, smiled again, and asked, "Talk about how you met Wu Xiashu?"

Wen Renyu was a little helpless: "Didn't you talk to me about this on the phone before..."

"It doesn't matter if you say it again." Zhong Tang said, "Or you lied to me before, and you can't remember how you made it up, so you can't say it again?"

This statement is too sharp, and I feel a little uncomfortable when I am tired of listening to the statement.

As the client, Wen Renyu was obviously even more uncomfortable, and the professional smile on his face disappeared a little.

But Wen Renyu was still laughing.Although the smile was shallow and slightly cold, he was still smiling.

"What you said is very impolite." Wen Renyu said.

The atmosphere instantly became tense.

Statement hates a painter, he has never seen such an atmosphere, he just feels that the air is burning, making his mouth dry.

He took a sip of his tea and turned to look at Xu Liangyun.

Xu Liangyun's eyes were like two knives, as if he wanted to see through Wen Renyu from the inside out.

Wen Renyu sat under such knife-like suspicious eyes, but she didn't show any fear.

A war without gunpowder.

Wen Renyu suddenly laughed again: "If you want to doubt, just doubt it. After all, I did not do such a thing. I can say the answer to the question as many times as you want me to repeat. After all, I did not lie."

"Xia Shu and I met in the office." Wen Renyu said, "in Professor Songfu's office, as graduate students."
