Chapter 5 The Soul of Art

blood?It's too scary. "As far as we know, Mr. Mingchen is an impressionist, why would he use blood for the sake of effect?" Emily asked puzzled.The narrator couldn't tell why, probably the artist's pursuit.From impressionism to realism, from bright mood to dark vent.This Mr. Mingchen is really changeable.

While everyone was discussing, Zhang Zhiguo walked to a corner of the gallery and picked up the phone. "Okay, let's talk again when you have time, now you have to go back to the police station, there is a new case."

Several people rushed to the scene of the crime non-stop. The corpse was found relatively late this time, but the location was very remote this time, so no one found it until it was close to noon.It was still wrapped up well, and it was posed in the posture of dying. It can be determined that it was the same murderer.

The body was transported back to the forensic office for autopsy, and everyone investigated on the spot.Most of the nearby residents are office workers, and they are basically not at home at this time, and the elderly at home have not noticed anything.Did not get any useful clues.Everyone returned to the police station for case analysis.

"All the places where the corpses were dumped were planned in advance, and there were basically no witnesses. It can be seen that the murderer was very organized and even cleaned up the blood on the corpse."

"Wait, blood? According to the forensic doctor's report, he was killed by a single knife, and he lost a lot of blood." Emily asked following Carrie's words. "No, it means death by stabbing into the heart." Kerry, who was the first to get the report, said affirmatively. "That's right. How come there is no blood on the corpse? Even if it is cleaned up afterwards, there will be no trace of it. And there will be blood in the process of carrying it."

After Emily finished speaking, she immediately called the forensic office to inquire about the situation. The forensic doctor confirmed that the deceased had indeed lost too much blood, but the cause of death was a sharp instrument piercing the heart.Therefore, excessive blood loss was not included in the cause of death analysis.Then Emily asked the forensic doctor to conduct a new examination, focusing on the blood analysis of the deceased, and hoped that after so many days, the desired information could be obtained.

"Did you think of something?" Zhang Zhiguo asked with concern seeing Emily's nervous expression. "That's right. I think it's very likely that the blood of the deceased was released to make the corpse look so clean, but everyone didn't pay attention. I suspect that there is edta-k2 in the blood of the deceased, which is an anti-coagulant. Or other anticoagulants."

"How did you think it was bloodletting?" Kou Lei asked puzzled. "I thought of it based on the painting tomorrow morning. I'm not sure, it's just a guess." Emily didn't explain in detail.In many cases, it is impossible to describe the conjecture process in detail. It may be just a thought, but it just feels like it will happen.It's an amazing sixth sense.

"What do you want blood for? Is it also for painting?" Zhang Chao felt incredible. "Don't compare other people with your teacher." Kou Lei was very upset, feeling that Zhang Chao was insulting his teacher. "No, I just said it casually." Chao Zhang felt wronged.

"If the murder is really for blood, then the blood has many uses. There are many cases of vampire murder abroad, and the murderer uses it for food. The modus operandi of that kind is basically to bite off the carotid artery and suck it. Will take it away. Vampires think that only fresh blood is their food."

"Emily is right. There is also the use of blood as a medium for sacrifices. Many cults use blood for various rituals. If this is the case, the demand for blood will be great. The murderer They will wantonly plunder in a short period of time. Usually the methods are not very cruel, and their goal is only blood." Kerry continued.

"Are there any other cases using blood?" Yan Bin was very interested. "If this case really uses blood as a clue, it will greatly reduce the difficulty of solving the case."

"Criminals are very different, and we can never use one law to cover all cases. Even if they are all blood-sucking cases, they need different profiles." Emily said regretfully.

The forensic office called.The latest autopsy report has come out. This time, according to Emily, the forensic doctor conducted a blood test on the corpse and found anticoagulant in a large dose.The biggest difference from previous corpses is the cause of death.The cause of death of the deceased was excessive blood loss, rather than being killed by a knife.In other words, they were bled while alive.No major trauma on the body.Moreover, a large amount of anesthetics are found in the blood, which can increase the blood pressure of the human body and facilitate the outflow of blood.

"A lot of coagulants and anesthetics, if the murderer wants to eat..." Emily said to herself. "That means he drugged himself." Zhang Zhiguo went on to say, "Then the possibility of blood-sucking is ruled out. Could it be a medical worker who knows the use of anticoagulants and anesthetics?"

"Not necessarily. This kind of anticoagulant is used to treat heart diseases, and many hospitals can prescribe it. And anesthetics are not difficult to get." Yan Bin has already checked Some cases of anticoagulants and anesthesia are gone.

"Although these are all available, they are expensive. The murderer must have a certain financial foundation, and the places where the corpses are dumped are different each time, and the distance is far away, which is enough to show that the murderer owns a car. A car that can transport corpses." Although Kou Lei did not make a geographical profile to delineate the scope of the murderer, it can be regarded as a little gain, after all, it can still narrow the scope to a certain extent.

The murderer first kills and then bleeds to the current direct bloodletting, which already shows that the murderer's level of danger has escalated, and is becoming more and more cruel. If the case cannot be solved as soon as possible, then the city will fall into a bloodbath. The burden on everyone is very heavy .

Zhang Zhiguo understood the current situation and everyone's mood, and he didn't say anything to urge everyone to solve the case, but advised everyone to take a good rest and recharge their batteries.I didn't work overtime at night but let everyone go back to rest early.

Kou Lei did not go back to the hotel directly, but contacted Mingchen, intending to have a good chat with the teacher and seek some help.Mingchen was very happy that Kou Lei could come, and the two chose a coffee shop with a good atmosphere to sit down and chat.

Kou Lei was very puzzled about the origin of that painting, and felt that it was not the style of the teacher.Ming Chen said with a smile: "What kind of style? Art reflects the subjective emotions of the painter. Most of my works are impressionist, and it is also because I want to make paintings in my imagination. Fortunately, everyone still agrees. Agree, otherwise I may be penniless and even study like Master Van Gogh."

Ming Chen stopped to take a sip of coffee and said: "After so many years, I realized the true meaning of art, which is truth. It can also be said that truth is the soul of art. Whether it is the truth of the picture or the expression of the true heart, all It’s a reverence for art. Without reality, art is nothing, just some second-rate painters showing off. That’s why I painted such a painting, and I used blood. I just want to show the truth. No matter what the outcome is, it's my choice."

"Could it be that you can ignore everything for the sake of truth?" Kou Lei still doesn't understand, then what is truth, and truth is just a personal opinion. Kou Lei is very wise not to say this, he still doesn't want to contradict the teacher .

"You're right, you can't ignore everything, you have to have a bottom line, beyond the bottom line, it's useless to say anything.
