Chapter 258

Three days later.

Qindao Liuting Airport.

Lin Yue got into a taxi, first went to the Municipal Bureau to meet the director and explain his intentions. After getting permission, he went to the hotel to check in. He ate a casual meal in the restaurant and then called for a taxi to Shinan District.

Lin Yue had been to Qindao before, but that was more than ten years later. There were not many cars on Qindao Street in the 1990s. The traffic lights were only at important intersections. The blue and white trams would stop in front of the stop sign for a long time. The conductor opened the window next to the door and called people not to be crowded, go down first and then up.

FAW Xiali has not fallen behind. The Volkswagen Santana is already a mid-to-high-end car. Once an Audi drives by, people will stop giving way from a distance.

Since the reform and opening up less than ten years ago, simplicity is written on the faces of most people.

The car stopped near Badaguan. Lin Yue took out $5. The master had forgotten to give him change for a long time. Lin Yue gave up after saying “No need” three times. After he got out of the car, he walked forward for a while, and they chased him. Come up and ask if you want an invoice.

On Qindao in April, the weather is warmer and the sun is warm.

He walked on the boulevard in a suit, and occasionally attracted curious eyes of female tourists.

From east to west, he crossed the Badaguan Pass and entered Signal Hill along Qingshi Road. He saw the goal of the trip to Qindao-Nguyen Van near the top of the mountain.

She is wearing a green coat, sitting on a small stool surrounded by a gray scarf, with a drawing board in front, holding a paint tray in one hand, and a paintbrush in the other, depicting the beauty of red tiles, white walls, blue sky and blue sea little by little. .

She did not notice Lin Yue coming, nor did Lin Yue bother her.

One is painting and the other is watching.

The person who paints the painting sees the distant landscape, and the person who sees it sees her as the landscape painter.

The so-called Badaguans are eight streets named after’Guan’, in which there are many European classical buildings. It used to be an area where foreigners lived and became a famous scenic spot in Qindao City after liberation.

In Ruan Wen’s paintings, the sky blue and the sea blue are reversed, the red tiles and white walls are looming, and the spring peaches on Shaoguan Road seem to be flying.

She belongs to a post-impressionist painter.

The Impressionist School is good at using light, shadow and color to construct fresh and vivid works, planting unforgettable momentary impressions in the hearts of the audience. Then the Impressionists will add personal emotions, cognition, and thinking to the paintings, injecting soul into the paintings, such as Cézanne and Van Gogh.

Lin Yue kept standing without making a sound until she finished the last stroke, and when she put down the paint tray and wanted to take a break, she suddenly noticed the first visitor to the new painting.

She smiled slightly, showing good-looking teeth.

Just like the ending scene of the movie “Wushuang”, her mood is not high, her face is still a little pale, and she seems to be intolerant of the spring cold.

She is a little strange, because in the past, people often stopped and watched when she was painting in the scenic spot, but when she turned around, most Chinese would walk away with a smile, but some foreigners did not hesitate to praise.

“Miss Ruan Van?”

Ruan Wen got up and closed the dark green coat with his hands: “This gentleman, do you know me?”

Lin Yue stretched out his right hand: “Lin Yue, Royal Canadian Mounted Police, I think He Weilan Miss should have mentioned my name to you.”

“It’s Officer Lin, you came really fast.” Ruan Wen stretched out his hand and shook his hand.

Her hands were a little cold, and she didn’t know whether it was due to exposure to the cold for too long or because of her personal physique.

Lin Yue said: “I’m here for the’painter’.”

“I know.” The stone table and stool behind Nguyen Van Chao for tourists to relax said softly: “Let’s go there and talk.”

“good.”

Lin Yue walked over and sat down.



“Hasn’t the’painter’ been arrested?”

More than half a month ago, He Weilan went to the northwest from HK to tell her that the murderer of her fiancé Luo Wen had been arrested, but for her, the person was already dead, so what’s the point of the murderer not being caught.

Lin Yue nodded: “The’painter’ has been arrested, but the story of the’painter’ has not yet been completed. I came here this time just to learn more about Li Wen.”

“Didn’t Officer He tell you? That person used to live next door to my house. If you say that the impression is, the deepest thing is that he rarely goes out, and his eyes are weird.”

Lin Yuexin said that his favorite person is you, so the look in your eyes is of course different.

“Didn’t madam tell you what he has always liked about you?”

Ruan Wen shook his head.

Lin Yue took out a photo from her pocket: “Do you know this person?”

“Officer Lin, are you kidding me?”

The person in the photo is wearing a black trench coat and sunglasses. That was what she dressed when she attended the memorial service for Luo Wen. Because she didn’t want to be seen as sad, she had been wearing sunglasses for several hours. I heard that there are several big companies. The directors are quite unhappy about this.

Lin Yue put away the photos silently.

It seems that He Weilan didn’t tell her about Li Wen and Wu Xiuqing’s entanglement with her, but I don’t know whether it was to take care of her feelings or whether he finally heard that Li Wen and her were just neighbors, realizing that the content of the confession was the painter’s side. For fear of causing unnecessary misunderstandings, she did not explain in detail.

“She is not you, her name is Wu Xiuqing.”

Ruan Wen looked at him puzzled.

“In fact, Li Wen has always liked you. Later, when Wu Xiuqing was rescued in the Golden Triangle, she had a facelift to look like you. A month ago, she pretended to be you and went to HK to bail Li Wen.”

Nguyen Van stayed for a while, looking hard to accept this.

It took a long time for her to recover, and she smiled reluctantly: “I’m sorry, I have been in China for these two months, and I don’t know what happened outside. The last time Police Officer He came over, she didn’t say much, just asked some things about Li asked and left. NS.”

“I think she felt that she didn’t say much to tell you these troubles.”

“Yeah, what can I do if I know it, people are gone.” Ruan Wen looked back at the distant scenery, using this action to cover up the flash of pain on his face.

“I’m sorry about Mr. Luo.”

Ruan Van shook his head: “People cannot come back from death, but those who are alive must continue to live.”

She stared at the almost finished painting on the easel, not knowing what she was thinking.

“Miss Ruan Van.”

Lin Yue awakened her: “I don’t know if Miss Ruan has any plans to return to Vancouver in the near future?”

“Why ask?”

“That’s the case. If possible, I would like to take a look at the place where you and Li Wen once lived.”

“Officer Lin, you don’t have to go this time. I have the room key in the hands of a friend in Vancouver. You can go back and find him directly.”

“So, you haven’t sold the house over there yet?”

“At any rate, I have lived in a place for ten years, and I always feel that keeping it will give me a sense of belonging.”

“I hope to go to Vancouver with Miss Ruan. I know this request sounds a bit presumptuous, but the order given to me by my superior is to find out the whole story of the’painter’ case. As a policeman, I need to know all the information and information about the criminals. Various details.”

“I’m sorry, Officer Lin, I have no plans to leave China for the time being. This matter…I can’t help you.” Ruan Wen said calmly, although his tone was still friendly, but his words were firm.

“Nguyen Van Miss, help me complete the investigation. To a certain extent, it is also a comfort to Mr. Luo. I think… how about you think about it? And as far as I know, you have not returned to Vancouver for 2 years. Friends on the side miss you very much.”

“Officer Lin, didn’t you see that I was painting?” Ruan Wen raised his head and glanced at the sky: “And I have gotten better in the past six months, but when I go back there, I will think of the past.”

Troublesome~

Lin Yue is gone, she insists not to return to Vancouver, she can’t use it.

To know that Ruan Van’s home is the place where everything started, to understand the growth history of the “painter” is a link that can never be crossed.

Now… what can she do to change her mind?
