Chapter 54 Ancient Paintings

In fact, I'm quite curious, through what channel did Li Yuntian know that I am a trader of evil things?

On what basis did he determine that this murder was related to a feint?

At first, I suspected that Yin Xinyue told Li Yuntian, but Yin Xinyue shook her head like a rattle and insisted that she never said anything.

This is so strange!

Only after arriving at the place did I know the truth.

Li Yuntian told me that before, when he was just an intern in the criminal police team, he had seen my father assist the police in solving crimes. It was from that time on that Li Yuntai became aware of the business of being a trader in necromancy.

Of course, at first, Li Yuntian's attitude was the same as that of most people. He felt that the trader of femininity was a feudal superstition and had no real ability. In short, he was looked down upon in various ways. He even felt that the leader was really stupid. Why did he hire a low-level person to help solve the case?

It was not until today that he became the so-called 'leader' and finally realized the difficulties of being a leader.

Now that he has tried his best, not only is there no progress in the case, but he can't even see a corpse.

Now the superior was furious and slammed the table in front of all his colleagues. Li Yuntian was really desperate, so he came to me, a ghost dealer, for help...

Of course, he did not come to me to seek medical treatment in a hurry, but he found out that some time ago, I helped the Hong Kong police solve a serial suicide case. Afterwards, the Hong Kong police even posted an open letter on their website to thank me.

Although the entire letter did not mention my special methods, Li Yuntian was as smart as he was and he still guessed what kind of help I had.

Li Yuntian was looking at me with burning eyes at this moment, looking forward to my answer.

Now that things have come to this point, I can only reluctantly agree.

Li Yuntian was very happy, but while he was happy, he also said something that made me feel disappointed. That is, my identity can only be arranged as an "enthusiastic mass", so as not to be criticized.

I was very unhappy, but there was nothing I could do about it. Under a large system, you can only obey the arrangements from above.

I immediately asked to go to the crime scene to have a look. I first had to determine what the origin of that feint was!

Li Yuntian didn't say anything and drove me directly to the scene.

The crime scene has been cordoned off, and even the entire third floor has no residents. After such a bizarre murder occurred, no matter how courageous they were, they would not dare to continue living there!

Li Yuntian told me that due to the special nature of the case, the body of the deceased was temporarily kept at the crime scene and was guarded by two policemen on duty at the door. Cameras were also installed at the crime scene.

I quickly asked Li Yuntian if the corpse's hands were missing last night? Have you seen all the cameras?

Li Yuntian nodded: "Yes, the body's hands were cut off by the roots. They were not missing. The police on duty also insisted that nothing happened last night. I have seen the camera records and everything is normal."

I suddenly asked: "Why did you install cameras at the crime scene?"

Li Yuntian scratched his hair in embarrassment: "I have long guessed that this case was not committed by anyone, so I wanted to take a photo of the evidence and show it to the superiors to let them know how evil this case is, so that I can get rid of it. But I didn’t take any useful photos, so I can only find you privately..."

I understand his behavior very well. This case is a double-edged sword. If it is handled well, a rising tide will lift all boats. If it is not handled well, it may have a great impact on his career.

The murder scene was truly extraordinary. A shocking trail of blood trailed from the room to the stairs. Other than that, there's nothing wrong with it.

Even the tables and chairs in the room are clean and tidy.

And at the starting point of the bloodstain, I saw the ancient calligraphy and painting in Yin Xinyue's mouth.

The ancient calligraphy and painting was hung on the wall, and a sandalwood incense table was placed underneath. The table was filled with apples, bananas, candles and other tributes.

The deceased was worshiping this calligraphy and painting during his lifetime!

It seems that she must have had some crooked thoughts and wanted to achieve some purpose through this painting.

I looked at the painting carefully now.

This picture seems to be old at first glance. The surface is yellowed and there are many damaged areas on the edges. The first time I looked at the calligraphy and painting, I wanted to know who the author of this painting was.

However, the creator of the calligraphy and painting does not seem to want to reveal his identity, because the signature only has the words "Tang Dynasty, Dazhong 16th Year".

There is no doubt that this calligraphy and painting is from the Tang Dynasty. The calligraphy and painting of the Tang Dynasty was a peak period in the development of ancient Chinese painting and calligraphy. At this time, many great painters emerged! For example, Wu Daozi, known as the sage of painting, and the two brothers Yan Liben.

The paintings at that time were basically based on life customs and travel. But the painting in front of me is very strange, because it is neither a secular content nor a landscape painting. Instead, it looks like an 'execution' scene!

There is a guillotine in the painting. On the guillotine, a disheveled prisoner is kneeling. His hands and feet were tied tightly, and he was waiting for the executioner to end his life.

Behind him, the executioner was dressed in red and had a full beard. He held a huge machete high with a fierce look on his face.

The executioner's expression was very expressive. He seemed to be gritting his teeth and looking hateful.

Near the guillotine, an official looked at the execution scene leisurely. There was a large group of people watching around, with numb expressions on their faces. They had no intention of coming to stop them. Instead, they seemed to be watching the fun.

I took a breath. Although I entered the world of femininity not long ago, I have been studying antiques since I was a child.

I have seen hundreds, if not thousands, of ancient calligraphy and paintings!

However, I have never seen such paintings of executions and beheadings.

This thing is probably an original copy, and its artistic value is very high. I'm afraid it is marketable but priceless, right? I couldn't help but feel excited and wanted to put it in my pocket.

Of course, the evil nature of this painting must be eliminated before it can be put into the bag, otherwise it would be like inviting a murderer home.

Li Yuntian asked me: "Mr. Zhang, do you have any ideas?"

I shook my head and said, "Not yet, but Officer Li, I have to ask one thing first. Does this painting have to be handed over to the state?"

Li Yuntian suddenly laughed knowingly: "Don't worry! I understand the rules of your profession. As long as you help me solve the case, this painting will be yours..."

I said that's fine, I'll find a solution as soon as possible. But the most urgent thing is to find the deceased's hands first, otherwise I'm afraid you won't be able to explain it to the superiors.

Li Yuntian looked stern: "Could it be that you already know where the deceased's hands are?"

I nodded and said, "That's natural. In fact, those hands are in the police station."

Li Yuntian was very surprised: "The police station is at least ten kilometers away from the murder scene. How could the deceased's hands reach the police station?

You must know that the police station is unlike any other place. It is heavily guarded and cannot allow outsiders to enter. "

I smiled and said: "Then you are wrong. Have you forgotten what case we are dealing with now? Can you think about a case involving vaginal objects with normal thinking? I know that what you say is unfounded. In this way, we go to the police You’ll know after you look it up in the bureau.”

Li Yuntian was very excited, nodded immediately, and drove me to the police station.

I directly asked Li Yuntian to take me to the evidence department where the deceased's mobile phone was kept.

When I asked to see the deceased's mobile phone, Li Yuntian looked at me strangely: "Mr. Zhang, aren't we looking for the deceased's lost hands? Why are you looking at the mobile phone?"

I said mysteriously: "Those hands are near the phone."

"Are you so sure?"

"Because the deceased used those hands to send text messages to Yin Xinyue." After saying that, I asked Yin Xinyue to pull out the text messages and show them to Li Yuntian.

When Li Yuntian saw the text message, his entire face turned pale and he said tremblingly: "What... what on earth is going on? How could a dead person send a text message."

I said that there is something metaphysical involved here, which cannot be explained by human thinking.

Li Yuntian didn't ask any more questions. He just contacted the policeman in charge of physical evidence and asked him to open the cabinet where the mobile phones were stored.

When the cabinet was opened, two things suddenly fell out of the cabinet. If you look carefully, aren't they a pair of bloody palms?

The palm of the hand was cut off from the wrist, the wounds were neat, and even the blood vessels and bones could be seen clearly. And in one of the hands, he was holding a mobile phone tightly.

The phone is still stuck on the text message interface. A text message has been sent, which is shocking!
