I found the small mountain village that Chen Ling was talking about and asked the village chief. Indeed, there was a dwarf in the village.

This man's name is Chen Liang. He was born in 2002. He is a poor man. His parents divorced when he was young. His father went out to work. Later, he committed a serious crime and went to the hospital.

Grandpa helped Chen Liang grow up, but ten years ago, grandpa also passed away.

Chen Liang, who was only 12 years old at that time, lived alone by eating from neighbors, helping others herd sheep, and going to the Weiling Grave when he had time to live.

Because Chen Liang was a dwarf and had a special physical condition, he did not study much.

"Hey." At this point, the village chief sighed, "Chen Liang is a very kind boy."

"Then where is he now?" Yuan Fugui asked.

"I don't know. He left the village four years ago. He said that a big boss asked him to paint and make money."

"Huahua?" Yuan Fugui was stunned.

The village chief was sitting on a wooden chair at home, pointing to the painting "Mona Lisa's Smile" at the back and said, "This is what Chen Liang painted. It's very good."

Yuan Fugui looked at the oil painting on the wall, the Mona Lisa. It was a fake painting, but it was surprisingly similar to the real painting. Although Yuan Fugui didn't know how to paint, he felt that this painting was really good.

And this village also has a special industry - the famous oil painting village.

There are many painters in the village who have been imitating famous works since childhood, such as Leonardo da Vinci's paintings and Van Gogh's paintings.

The painter has been imitating these paintings since he was a child. Practice makes perfect. Sometimes it only takes one day to paint a painting.

After the painting was completed, the price ranged from 100 to 200 yuan per piece and was taken away by a nearby foreign trade company.

Foreign trade companies put these paintings into frames and export them abroad.

Painting is looked down upon by artists, but painting is a way for many painters who have never studied to make a living.

This Chen Liang, who had not been heard from four years ago, turned out to be very good at painting.

Could he be the deceased?

Fang Fugui went to prison and asked someone to find Chen Liang's father, extract his DNA, and compare it with the DNA of the dwarf who was found buried at the bottom of the lake.

It was confirmed - the dwarf whose body sank at the bottom of the lake was Chen Liang.

Four years ago, the well-known painter Yu Meng came to this village to collect paintings. Soon after, Chen Liang said that a big boss wanted to paint with him.

Although there was no conclusive evidence, it was such a coincidence that Yuan Fugui had to doubt that Yu Meng must have some connection with Chen Liang's death.

.

On the second day, Yuan Fugui went to M Art Academy again.

Security manager Mu Feng stopped him, "Comrade police, our leader is busy now and cannot be disturbed. Can you wait a while before going in?"

"I can't wait any longer." Yuan Fugui arrived at the studio and knocked on the door.

After a while, a sharp roar came from the house, "You've disturbed me! You've disturbed me!"

Yu Meng is painting. When painting, he needs absolute silence and cannot be disturbed.

Mu Feng, who was standing beside Yuan Fugui outside the door, scratched his head in distress when he heard the sound.

The knock on the door completely drove away Yu Meng's inspiration. She opened the door angrily and saw Yuan Fugui. She was not nervous at all. She was an artist in her own world. "What are you doing?" she said angrily.

"Sorry, Ms. Yu Meng, for disturbing your creation. I'll get straight to the point. Chen Liang is dead."

"Chen Liang is dead?" Yu Meng was stunned.

Yuan Fugui said, "Didn't you say you don't know the dwarf? Chen Liang is a dwarf, and he should be very close to you, right?"

Now Yu Meng calmed down from her previous emotions. Seeing that Mu Feng was still there, she glanced at Mu Feng, and Mu Feng left knowingly.

"Come in and talk."

Yu Meng walked back into the house, Yuan Fugui followed, closed the door, and the two sat on the sofa in the 500-square-meter living room.

In the world of "Alice in Wonderland" composed of huge Rilakkuma, teapots and checkerboards.

"Now can you talk about your relationship with Chen Liang?"

Yu Meng took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit the lighter several times. His hands were shaking so hard that he finally lit up the cigarette. He took a few puffs and said slowly:

Yes, I know Chen Liang.

Four years ago, I went to a small mountain village to collect paintings and saw Chen Liang. He was mourning his grave and painting at the same time. Although what he painted was traditional painting, after I saw it, I felt that this person had a pretty good background, so I invited him. Come and help me draw.

"You invited him to paint for you?" Yuan Fugui frowned and wondered, Yu Meng is a top painter, how could he find a painter to paint?

Yu Meng continued:

You also know that when I become famous, there are many things that I can’t give up.

There are always some businessmen and powerful people coming to me and asking if I can paint a picture for their home.

Of course I really don’t want to do these things. Why should I serve these people? I can’t help it. If I want to continue to be famous, I have to rely on these people.

So, I told these people, OK, I will paint it for you, but you promise not to sell the painting, and I will not sign my name. Of course those people agreed after hearing this.

"So, you asked Chen Liang to help you draw these paintings?" Yuan Fugui understood.

"That's the situation." Yu Meng smiled bitterly, "I'm sorry, Inspector Yuan, I lied to you last time. You also know my identity. If I tell this matter, it will affect my reputation too much. Regarding this matter , and I also ask you to keep it secret for me."

"Then where is Chen Liang helping you draw?"

"I found a hut for him on a mountain. He and I signed a confidentiality agreement. He couldn't leave the house and stayed in it to paint every day."

During that time, Yu Meng showed Chen Liang his past works. Chen Liang was very perceptive and imitated Yu Meng's handwriting, creating one painting after another.

"Why is Chen Liang missing?"

"I do not know."

Yu Meng shook her head and said that about a month ago, she went to Chen Liang's cabin to look for him and found that Chen Liang was no longer there.

The room was in a mess, and clothes and everything were missing. "I don't know where he went?"

Regarding this matter, Yu Meng was very panicked at the time. She was afraid that Chen Liang would make the matter between the two public, but she couldn't contact Chen Liang even if she wanted to.

Ever since Chen Liang entered the hut four years ago, the two have been in secret contact without using mobile phones. Chen Liang doesn’t have a mobile phone either.

"You are lying. You killed Chen Liang because you were afraid that this matter would be exposed." Yuan Fugui suddenly asked.

"No, I didn't kill him."

"You were the one who killed Chen Liang. Maybe Chen Liang wanted to use painting for you to get more, but you felt that Chen Liang was a hidden danger when he was alive, so you wanted to kill him. Of course, you don't need to come forward in this matter. You can find I asked Zhang Shiwen for help, your promotion manager, and you gave him a favor and he killed Chen Liang."

All the clues have been connected. Why did Zhang Shiwen buy cheap Yuenan rice? It's because Chen Liang has been locked in the hut, and Chen Liang eats this kind of rice every day.

Yu Meng gave Zhang Shiwen a sum of money that he could not refuse. On the surface, she fired Zhang Shiwen from the art academy, creating a discord between the two.

A month ago, Zhang Shiwen killed Chen Liang and then escaped. Now Zhang Shiwen should be living happily in a country without extradition regulations.

"So, the truth is this. It was you and Zhang Shiwen who murdered Chen Liang together." Yuan Fugui stood up and said sternly.

Her mind works very quickly, and she always chooses a straightforward, simple and clear questioning method during the investigation.

But after hearing it, Yu Meng's reaction was very genuine.

She said, "Inspector Yuan, what you are saying is simply nonsense. I will never kill Chen Liang, and I will never cooperate with a scum like Zhang Shiwen. You can go and investigate. I am willing to cooperate."

She looked at Yuan Fugui and was not panicked at all.

"I will investigate. During this period, please do not leave K City." Yuan Fugui said.
