Chapter 796 Back to the starting point

Obviously, the abstract oil painting in Chu Tianhe's old house is closely related to the case.

First of all, the place where it appeared happened to cover the opening mechanism of the secret basement. It seemed that someone did it deliberately.

The purpose may be to guide Han Xu to find the empty basement.

As a result, the five skeletons that had been moved were discovered, as well as the babies in their wombs.

So this abstract oil painting plays a very key role.

Next is the signature on the painting, a big English letter Z!

This led to the mysterious Mr. Z for the first time.

Then the following investigation about the mysterious Mr. Z is enough to prove that this abstract oil painting is crucial.

But in Jiang Zigui's home, there is also a painting that is very similar to this one.

In other words, the two paintings are most likely by the same person!

Han Xu had always thought that since there was a capital letter Z on the abstract oil painting, it meant that the author of the oil painting must be the mysterious Mr. Z.

But now the problem has arisen. Han Xu has reason to believe that the signature does not mean anything!

It's like someone else didn't leave a signature after they finished the painting. Instead, another person got it and deliberately filled in the blank, and then put the painting where it "should be"!

In other words, the author of the oil painting and the person who signed it may not be the same person!

In addition, the abstract oil painting with a very similar style at Jiang Zigui's home did not have any signature!

Although when Han Xu saw the painting for the second time, a piece of the lower right corner had been cut out.

But it also proves that the signature and the painting most likely have nothing to do with it.

After making such an association, Han Xu suddenly felt enlightened.

I seemed to have fallen into a common-sense misunderstanding before, but now that I think about it, everything makes sense.

In fact, the artist of the two abstract oil paintings is not necessarily the mysterious Mr. Z.

On the contrary, it may be some clues provided by the boss behind the scenes intentionally or unintentionally!

When Han Xu thought about this, he felt more and more interesting.

Following this line of thinking, the artist of the two abstract oil paintings is most likely Zheng Shiqiang.

This also explains why, for more than ten years, the two works are far apart in age and have the same painting style, but the level has remained very stable.

Perhaps the only amateur painter left in Yancheng is Zheng Shiqiang, an artist who has made no progress in more than ten years.

But there is another question, why did Jiang Zigui say before that his painting was transferred to Zheng Shiqiang?

Is there something fishy inside?

Is the lawyer Jiang Zigui and Jiang lying in front of him with his eyes open again?

When he thinks of something he doesn't understand, Han Xu always asks directly for confirmation. It just so happens that Lawyer Jiang is right in front of him. It's better to try it another day. "Hey, let me tell you, Lao Jiang, didn't you have an abstract oil painting before? It was originally hanging I seem to remember the one on the wall in your living room. You said you gave it to Zheng Shiqiang? "

Jiang Zigui was obviously startled when he heard this. He looked at Han Xu with a confused look on his face and nodded, "Yes, I said so. That painting was indeed transferred to Zheng Shiqiang. Otherwise, I might not even be able to get it. Where’s the contract?”

"What do you mean?" Han Xu asked curiously.

Jiang Zigui then explained, "We couldn't agree on a contract before, but just a few days ago, Zheng Shiqiang suddenly called me and said he saw my selfie on my WeChat Moments."

Chengzi was happy when he heard this, "Your selfie? Could it be that Zheng Shiqiang is attracted to you? You two...fuck you, Lao Jiang, you still said you're not gay? I won't believe it even to death!"

Jiang Zigui was speechless when he heard that Chengzi had pulled it back again. He directly pulled out a photo from his phone and handed it to Han Xu, "No, that's the photo. Look at that angle. Just when I was taking a selfie, the living room The hanging oil paintings were photographed together.”

Han Xu suddenly realized, "Oh, is this how Zheng Shiqiang fell in love with that abstract oil painting?"

"Well, this guy not only fell in love with my painting, but also insisted on paying a high price to buy it. Alas, otherwise, Zheng Shiqiang is just a bumpkin. I, Jiang, like something, and I won't sell it for any amount of money! "

Jiang Zigui was even somewhat confident.

"Is there any difference in the result?!" Han Xu was speechless for a while.

"Well, at least they are different in nature. Since they have agreed to sign the contract, no matter how much I like them, I have to reluctantly give them up, right? It's a courtesy, right?"

Chengzi looked at the more confident Lawyer Jiang and wanted to spit immediately.

I have seen shameless people, but I have never seen such shameless people!

"Heh, from what you said, that painting is quite valuable. Is the contract you want to sign worth a lot? Can these two things be equated?" Han Xu immediately hit the snake and put it on the pole. , asked very covertly, not wanting to reveal any flaws.

Jiang Zigui narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard this, and stared blankly into Han Xu's clear eyes, "You want to know where this painting came from, right?"

Seeing that someone had discovered it, Han Xu simply didn't hide it and nodded, "I'm curious. I remember you said it was given to you by a friend of yours. Who is this person?"

Be forthright, get straight to the point, and simply open the skylight and speak frankly!

Jiang Zigui didn't expect Han Xu to ask such a direct question. He chuckled, picked up the red wine and took a sip, "Actually, you guys know this person, he is Zhang Hengyi who was hanged some time ago!"

"Who?! Zhang Hengyi?!"

When Chengzi heard the name, his mouth was wide open and he was so surprised that he couldn't close it.

"It turned out to be him?!" Han Xu was also shocked, but compared to Chengzi, he was more restrained, not wanting to let the lawyer Jiang in front of him see the joke.

After all this time, the guy who sent Jiang Zi back the mysterious painting was already dead.

And it was Zhang Hengyi who liked to paint outdoors in the Snow Mountain case!

Han Xu still remembers that even though Zhang Hengyi went bankrupt, there was still an oil painting about the Gulacuo Snow Mountain hanging in his apartment in Huilongguan Community.

It was because of that painting that Han Xu found the origin of all the clues.

Qin Fen once said that if you can't figure it out, you might as well go back to the origin!

Han Xu suddenly recalled the abstract oil painting in Chu Tianhe's house that Miao Xiaolan said when she first saw it, it looked like a snow mountain!

Could it be...

Han Xu didn't even dare to think about it anymore!

It was all messed up!

But it seems, it seems, after a big circle, I'm back again!

The origin is still...

Gulacuo Snow Mountain? !

What happened there?

Han Xu felt that everything seemed so unreal.

His mind seemed to fall into a huge vortex...
