Chapter 2570 (1/2)
The task force's office was full of surprise.
”How could this happen?” Captain Shao was shocked. ”This case... Has never been seen before! Zhang Qile... How could he have painted such a picture? ”
”So,” Miao Ying said, rubbing her palm, ”Zhang Qile's death may also be caused by this painting?”
”The key is, this painting...” Wu Xiumin frowned and stared at the oil painting on the screen. ”Isn't it too weird?”
”Yes!” ”I can shake as like as two peas.” If it was really painted by Zhang Qile, would... Zhang Qile... Have something to do with the red bathtub case? ”
”Zhang Qile is 29 years old,” said Wu Xiumin. ”The red bathtub case occurred 40 years ago. How can it matter?”
”Then... There is only one possibility left!” Miao Ying looked at captain Shao and said, ”your file has been leaked. Zhang Qile has seen the photos of the crime scene!”
”No... no?” Captain Shao swallowed his saliva and pleaded, ”these are secrets. How can a police officer know the law and break the law?”
”Captain Shao, I'm not holding you accountable. Have you found out,” Miao Ying said, pointing to the oil painting. ”The composition of this oil painting is very similar to the photos taken at the crime scene?”
”Ah? You... You mean... ”Captain Shao said with trembling lips,” someone leaked this photo to Zhang Qile? ”
”Not only that...” Miao Ying said, ”there may be other possibilities, such as... The policeman who took the scene photos in those years, check to see if he has anything to do with Zhang Qile?”
”Oh... I...” Captain Shao just took out his mobile phone, but suddenly remembered something and said, ”the last time I made a report, my colleague Cui Lizhu once mentioned this problem, so I investigated it after the report!
”At the beginning, the person who took the scene photo was Comrade Zhang Shuai of the legal medical department of the criminal police team. He... He has died...”
”Zhang Shuai, surnamed Zhang,” Wu Xiumin grabbed the words, ”Zhang Qile's surname is also Zhang...”
”No, no, no,” Captain Shao waved quickly, ”no, I checked, they have no relationship!”
”When did Zhang Shuai die?” Miao Ying asked.
”A long time ago,” said Captain Shao, ”when the red bathtub case happened, he was about to retire. He died of illness a few years after retirement!”
”Well...” Miao Ying continued in line with the principle of not letting go of any details. ”Then find out and compare other crime scenes he had photographed before!”
”Yes!” Captain Shao nodded and agreed.
”Now, let's talk about painting!” Miao Ying turned to Zeng Ke and asked, ”when was this painting painted?”
”In 2013,” Zeng Ke pointed to the computer and replied, ”at that time, Zhang Qile just graduated from the Academy of fine arts. It was the first batch of works she created after graduation. I just checked it. This work has been bought!”
”Bought it...” Miao Ying asked hurriedly, ”who bought it?”
”I don't know,” Zeng Ke replied, ”who bought it and how much it was sold. I can't find it yet...”
”Then check it quickly!” Miao Ying said excitedly, ”we need to know everything about this painting!”
”Leave it... To me!” Captain Shao volunteered, ”I'll send someone to Yunzhou Academy of fine arts to ask clearly...”
”OK,” Miao Ying promised, ”I'll leave it to you, Captain Shao! Also, you remember to check yourself to see if anyone has moved the files of the red bathtub case in recent years! ”
”Yes!” Captain Shao takes command.
”By the way, Bao Yicheng......” Miao Ying pointed to captain Shao's mobile phone.
Captain Shao understood Miao Ying's meaning and hurriedly called the agent responsible for inquiring about Bao Yicheng.
The agents replied that there was basically no new situation in Bao Yicheng. He claimed that after a quarrel with Zhang Qile, Zhang Qile left alone. Since then, he called Zhang Qile, but the phone couldn't be connected
