Chapter 67 All the answers are in this painting
"Officer, Wang Bin was the only student expelled from that class because he beat up a classmate... As for the specific circumstances, you can ask his counselor..."
The person who received Officer Hou and Su He was the director of the college's fine arts department, Cai Fengwen.
Not long after, a woman arrived.
"Liu Mei, these two police officers want to know what Wang Bin from your class was. He was the one who won a prize in his freshman year but dropped out not long after. Come, sit down and talk..."
Cai Fengwen went to pour tea for a few people.
Liu Mei was still holding a stack of picture albums in her hands. She sat on a chair and looked at Officer Hou and said, "Officer, Wang Bin is the most talented student I have ever taught. If he hadn't been sick, he wouldn't have dropped out!"
"Wait! Wasn't Wang Bin expelled from school for beating someone?" Officer Hou looked up at the director standing beside him.
Director Cai Fengwen sighed and said, "Wang Bin's situation is very complicated. He has a brain disease... He always says inexplicable things. He also painted on the wall in the dormitory with paint. He got into a fight with a classmate, and that classmate broke three ribs. Other students' parents came to the school to make trouble. Wang Bin is an orphan and couldn't even afford the medical expenses. In the end, he was persuaded to drop out of school..."
Officer Hou glanced at the director, expressing his dissatisfaction with Cai Fengwen's concealment of the truth, and reminded him, "I am not here to investigate your school's responsibility. I hope you will think clearly before we talk."
Cai Fengwen apologized embarrassedly.
"Does Wang Bin have a girlfriend?" Officer Hou looked at Liu Mei.
"No... Wang Bin was very withdrawn and never communicated with others. He was considered a weirdo by everyone... But he was really talented in painting. Here are some paintings he drew at that time, officer, take a look..."
Liu Mei unfolded the album, and Officer Hou looked up at Su He, and they both frowned.
"Are you sure this was drawn by Wang Bin?" Officer Hou looked at Liu Mei.
"I'm sure... there's also his signature here, WB. At the time, some classmates mocked his signature, calling him 'Wang Ba'... But during the second semester of my freshman year, one night it was raining heavily, and Wang Bin ran back from outside the school, yelling in the dormitory, and even alarmed the police..."
"From that day on, Wang Bin's paintings became of this style..."
Turning to the last page of the album, there was a scene of a woman's death. The entire paper was covered with black and blood red. The style of the painting was dark and cold.
Compared with the previous painting, the style is completely different.
"You said Wang Bin is sick. What is it?" Officer Hou asked, looking up.
"Wang Bin is an orphan... He has no money, so he never went to the hospital for a checkup... He doesn't go crazy very often, and he's pretty normal most of the time, except for the change in his painting style..."
"Do you mind if I take a few photos?" Officer Hou said.
"I don't mind. You can take the album away. Over the years, other students have come back and taken their things away, but his things are still here..."
Officer Hou was taking pictures, and Su He suddenly asked, "Does Wang Bin paint with his left hand or his right hand ?"
Liu Mei turned her head to look at Su He and said with a smile: "I've already said that he is a genius. He can draw with both hands, but most of the time he draws with his left hand. This may be the reason why he is different from others."
After leaving the Academy of Fine Arts and sitting in the police car, Officer Hou lit a cigarette and sighed, "After all the twists and turns, it's still him. How did the eleventh cartoon appear?"
"Split personality...Sunlight represents justice, and darkness represents evil. Unexpectedly, both sunlight and darkness are in his body...But I always feel that something is wrong. What is it that we have overlooked..."
Seeing Officer Hou's worried look, Su He comforted him, "It's not that we have gained nothing... At least we got this!"
Su He opened Wang Bin's album, turned to the last page, and said, "I have a feeling that all the answers are in this painting."
Compared with the eleven cartoons, this painting is not as scary. A woman is lying on the ground, surrounded by grass and trees. Only the outline of her body can be seen in the dark environment. Rain is falling from the sky, and blood is flowing out of the woman's body, as if it is about to overflow the paper.
"Is there anything special about this painting?" Officer Hou picked up the painting and looked at it through the sunlight.
"Different from the other 11 cartoons, this one has a rainy night as its background... and Wang Bin's counselor said that Wang Bin's first attack was also on a rainy night..."
As an experienced criminal policeman, Officer Hou immediately understood what Su He meant and said, "You mean, Wang Bin witnessed a murder case, which triggered his second personality?"
Su He nodded, then shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it's not that simple!"
If witnessing a murder can lead to split personality, then Su He must have dozens of personalities.
Officer Hou sent the drawing back to the police station and narrowed the time frame to the period before Wang Bin's first attack. Not long after, a case report was sent to his mobile phone.
This is a case that happened ten years ago and has not been solved yet.
The deceased, Zhuang Rou, female, 35 years old, was found in a park near Kunyang Academy of Fine Arts with multiple stab wounds all over her body, but none of them were fatal. The forensic examination determined that she died of excessive blood loss.
Due to heavy rain the night before, there was no trace of the scene. The next morning, after receiving the report, the police rushed to the scene, but the scene had been destroyed by the onlookers.
At that time, there were no surveillance equipment in the park. After an investigation, no progress was made. In addition, the victim's family did not press for the case, so the case was left unresolved and became an unsolved case.
When Officer Hou turned to the page about the deceased's relatives, he was suddenly stunned. The column for Zhuang Rou's spouse read: Cai Fengwen!
Is it a coincidence?
They had just come out of the office of Cai Fengwen, the director of the Art Department.
In the eyes of the police, there are no coincidences, everything is a clue!
"Come on, let's go meet him again. I felt he was not honest just now!"
Officer Hou got out of the car and prepared to look for Cai Fengwen again, but Su He said, "We've already alerted him, I'm afraid he won't behave himself... Besides, the case was not solved back then, and it's been ten years, what do you expect to gain? Even if the murderer is Cai Fengwen, what connection does he have with Wang Bin?"
Officer Hou got back into the car and said helplessly, "Then what do you say we should do?"
"Let's go eat first..." Su He got out of the car and pointed to a restaurant across the street .
It was time for lunch, and Officer Hou also got out of the car.
"What about after dinner?"
Su He looked up at the gate of the Academy of Fine Arts and said, "After dinner, let's go to Kunyang Academy of Fine Arts!"
