Book of Sins 4

Chapter 12 Frozen Summer
The bald man is about 30 years old, with a fat head and big ears. He wears an earring on his right ear. It is summer, and he is actually wearing a down jacket.

When the police took the record, he was sweating profusely and urged the police to write down his English stage name, and then told how he bought the dead baby and how he made it into amber. He buried it in the soil in order to give people a Surprise, when the art festival opens in a few days, he will invite reporters to dig out the corpse of the amber child together.

Su Mei said: Why are you wearing a down jacket?
The bald man said: No matter painting, literature, or film and television, for Chinese art, it is winter and a period of ice.This is also the theme I most want to express in my works.

Hualong said: Brother, what we want to hear is how you killed people.

The bald man said: I am a performance artist, thank you.

Professor Liang said: Wearing a padded jacket in summer is performance art?
The bald man said: Lin Daiyu buried flowers, Jiang Ziya went fishing, Li Taibai invited the moon, all performance art.Performance art is a dynamic and comprehensive art that combines performance, vision, modeling, language and other forms.

Bao Zhan asked: Who did you buy the dead baby from, where is the mold for making amber now, and what does the sentence you left mean?
The bald man weaved a set of lies, claiming that the dead baby he bought from the hospital was made into amber at home. He couldn't tell more details, and he didn't know about the sticker on the body of the amber child.The special case team saw that this person just wanted to use the police to achieve fame, and no relevant physical evidence was found in his residence, so he was criticized and educated and released.

The bald man reluctantly opened the handcuffs. He begged, "Can I be detained for half a month? I beg you, and then tell the outside world that I did it."How can you do this, I want to sue you, that is my work, you violated my rights, return my work to me.

Hualong confiscated the handcuffs and pushed him out of the police room roughly. The bald man actually demanded that the handcuffs be returned to him.

Hualong was overjoyed and said, "Why don't you go grab something or something, and we'll handcuff you again."

The bald man said: Handcuffs are my props. I want to find a woman who will be handcuffed with me for a year without touching each other.

Su Mei also smiled, and asked: Did you find it?
The bald man said: No, would you like to be handcuffed with me? I promise not to touch you, beauty. For the sake of art, let’s discuss how to do it. This work is called "Yin and Yang Separated", or "Same Bed, Different Dreams". It's so hot, I'll take off this down jacket first...

During the visit, the special case team found that many of the farmyards in Songzhuang were the studios of painters, and many mainstream painters held a disdainful attitude towards performance art.Performance art is in a semi-underground state, where performances are generally performed in private places, or in the wilderness, and circulated by means of photos or videos.Because the annual art festival is about to open, performance artists also gather here. They keep silent about their works and keep them secret in advance, expecting to be a blockbuster in front of many reporters at home and abroad.

The special case team found no suspicious persons in Songzhuang, but they firmly believed that the murderer who caused the case of the amber child corpse was a performance artist. Everyone vaguely felt that the murderer would appear at the art festival.

Performance artists often design the police as a dynamic event element. They are not afraid of the police, but only regard the police as a special audience.

There is a sentence on the self-adhesive sticker attached to the body of Amber Child: When I rot into shit, my words are still alive!

Su Mei searched for this sentence on the computer, but found no results on the Internet, indicating that this sentence was originally created by the murderer, not quoted from others.With an idea, she logged into the public security intranet, searched again, and found an important clue.

In October last year, a security case occurred in a Xinhua Bookstore on Wangfujing Street.

Every October, the Swedish Academy will select this year's Nobel Prize for Literature, and many bookstores will take advantage of the trend to sell books of previous Nobel Prize winners.The same is true for this bookstore. They have a dedicated bookshelf filled with award-winning works.

One day, a scruffy young man walked into the bookstore, and the staff noticed that he was very thin, with a goatee, sunken eyes, wearing a worn-out denim jacket on his upper body, and the same worn-out jeans on his lower body.Several slogans were written on his clothes: "Great poet Liu Ming", "Nobel Prize winner for literature", "Wake up, literature!".

These three slogans were written on the clothes with yellow paint, which was very eye-catching. The bookstore staff looked at this strange man, pointed and talked about it.

He stood in front of the bookshelf, flipping through the works of the Nobel Prize for Literature, shaking his head and smiling wryly while reading.

A staff member suspected that he would steal the book, and observed quietly. It turned out that the weird man had pasted a sticker on the page of the book while no one was paying attention, and then put the book back on the shelf.

Just as he was pasting the third self-adhesive sticker in the book, the staff stepped forward to stop him, opened the book, and there was a small handwritten poem on those self-adhesive stickers.

This person claimed to be a poet, and his name was Liu Ming. He pointed to the words "Great Poet Liu Ming" on his clothes and showed it to the staff.

Liu Ming said while walking: Three years later, I will win the Nobel Prize, and my collection of poems will be placed on this bookshelf.

The staff member said: Excuse me, sir, please wait a moment.

Liu Ming continued to walk towards the door, and said: Why, you need my autograph, let’s wait another day.

The staff said: Sir, how do we sell these books?
Liu Ming said: Even if I win the Nobel Prize, I still refuse to accept it, and I decline all official honors.

The staff stopped Liu Ming at the door and said, "These books were damaged by you. You can't even tear off the tape you pasted. According to regulations, you have to buy them."

Liu Ming said: I have no money.

The leader of the bookstore came over to ask what was going on, and the staff said that this person was littering.

The words "littering" made Liu Ming furious. He couldn't accept this statement. Those little poems posted on literary classics were all his works, and they were actually regarded as garbage.The great poet Liu Ming was furious. After the quarrel, he fought violently and was finally sent to the public security organ.

Two clerks twisted his arms. His neck was full of veins, and he shouted to the onlookers on the street: I am Liu Ming, a great poet. When I rot into shit, my words are still alive!

At that time, the police handling the public security case posted the incident as an anecdote on the public security intranet and recorded the whole process in detail.

The special case team did not expect that the suspect would come into the sight of the police inadvertently, but it was not so easy to find him.The policeman who dealt with the matter at the time recalled that Liu Ming paid a fine, wrote a guarantee letter, and was released.The address in the file is a rental house, and Liu Ming has no money to pay the rent. After being evicted, he has already changed several tenants.

Professor Liang said: It is not a coincidence that Liu Ming once said the writing on the body of the child.

Su Mei said: Whether he is a poet or a performance artist, he is really creative. He posted his bad poems in the book, so that people who buy books will read his poems.

Bao Zhan said: Liu Ming is suspected, but this does not prove that he is the one who killed the boy and made amber.

Hualong said: This person is really weird, with a paranoid personality and a bit of violence. He must have been attacked by the public security organs more than once.

Deputy Secretary Huang said: Professor Liang, please give me instructions!
Professor Liang's deployment work will first expand the scope of the investigation, conduct thorough visits to the resin handicraft manufacturers and small workshops in the city, and find people related to the case; The second is to obtain all kinds of information about Liu Ming. This person is likely to have a criminal record. Finding the suspect Liu Ming as soon as possible is the focus of criminal investigation.When Liu Ming was dealt with by the police, he wrote a letter of guarantee that he should conduct handwriting identification with the writing on the child's body as soon as possible.

The handwriting identification results came out soon, and the writing on Tong's body was written by Liu Ming, who was suspected of murder.

After receiving the report from the assisted investigation, the Subway Public Security Bureau reported a clue that two policemen on duty had arrested Liu Ming.

One night a few months ago, a girl was kidnapped in the underground passage near Exit D of Sanyuanqiao Subway Station.The girl was a college student, and she took the last subway back to school. When she reached the underground passage, a sloppy young man passed her by, then turned and followed her.The girl was a little flustered, she quickened her pace, there were only the two of them in the underground passage, she looked back from time to time, the man was following behind, talking to herself, chanting something.

The girl wanted to run, but the man caught up and patted the girl on the shoulder with his hand.

The girl screamed loudly in fright, and asked: What do you want to do, robbery.

The sloppy young man took out a utility knife, pushed the girl against the wall, and said: Don't get me wrong, I don't steal money.

The girl crossed her arms and begged for mercy, "Don't insult me, okay?"

The sloppy young man said: I am not a hooligan, I am a poet, I just wrote a poem, read it to you.

A girl was once hijacked in the underground passage near Exit D of Sanyuanqiao Subway Station. The man followed the girl late at night, neither robbing nor indecent, but coercing the girl to listen to a poem he wrote:

I want to tell you what Chunfeng said to Xiaocao.

I want to write to you, the poem Xia Yu wrote to Baihua.

I want to sing to you, the song Qiuyue sang to Hongye.

I want to do to you, what Dong Xue did to the earth.

The sloppy young man asked the girl to comment on her poem, and the girl trembled with fright. Two policemen on duty happened to pass by the underground passage, captured her, and took her to the security station for interrogation.The young man was Liu Ming, a great poet. He claimed that he had no malicious intentions, but the police still detained him for a few days on the grounds of "picking quarrels and causing trouble".

According to the case files provided by the Subway Bureau, Hualong, Bao Zhan, and Su Mei rushed to Liu Ming's rented house with a team of armed police.

It was a dark and damp basement. The room had been cleaned and was empty. There was only a bunk iron frame bed covered with wooden boards, no bedding, and bloodstains on the floor.
