monologue

Jennifer answered Wen Ti's call, everything was based on the needs of the boss, regardless of the agreement between her and her girlfriend that she was not allowed to call while she was working, since Wen Ti and Chu Xingmu lived together, Jennifer felt that My job is a lot easier. Occasionally I help Wen Ti send a document, and the salary is quite guilty. If Wen Ti has any needs, she will definitely solve them immediately.

Chu Xingmu found a parking space near Qingmei Painting Academy, and after parking the car, he and Wen Ti walked towards the gate of Qingmei Painting Academy.

Xue Ning took Jennifer's call, finished the work at hand, and rushed to the school gate to wait for Wen Ti and Chu Xingmu. Wen Ti looked up at the school gate with a strong artistic style, which was almost the same as he remembered. Not long after taking him back to Wen's house, nine years have passed in a blink of an eye, and the teacher Wen Ruo invited to help him with classes has also retired long ago.

"Mr. Wen, Captain Chu." A girl in a red dress with long hair hanging down her waist and delicate features said standing in front of Chu Xingmu and Wen Ti.

Chu Xingmu looked at her habitually, thinking that this Jennifer is wearing a punk style, and her school belle girlfriend looks quite gentle.

Xue Ning opened her mouth when she saw the two coming over. She had never met Wen Ti and Chu Xingmu before. When she went to the studio to work part-time, Wen Ti had already gone to the police station. No, as for how to recognize the two at a glance, it was Jennifer who told her that when she saw two men with too different styles, they must be them.

Wen Ti smiled and said, "Miss Xue, I'm sorry to trouble you."

Xue Ning waved her hand quickly: "How can you say that you are also my boss."

Chu Xingmu forgot those greetings, just said hello, Xue Ning took them into the school, Xue Ning said: "Qingmei Academy of Painting used to offer a woodcut major, but the employment rate of this major is not very good , there are too few students who are willing to work hard. Later, the school banned the woodcut major, but hired a very famous woodcut teacher. The woodcut major was banned, but this teacher is still there. He is now a professor of Chinese painting major, named Yu Le , I asked my friend impromptu, and Professor Yule did engrave "Four Horsemen" before."

Xue Ning's efficiency is quite high, she knew the purpose of their coming, Wen Ti asked, "Is Professor Yu at school now?"

"Yes, I came back directly after participating in the Chinese Painting Awards of Qingshi Art Museum." Xue Ning led the two of them across Peony Road. Qing University, because of the difference in department and major classification, even the style and name of the department buildings are very professional.

A few minutes later, the three of them walked into Yu Le's office. Xue Ning personally went to see Professor Yu Le before they came. When they knocked on the door and entered, Professor Yu Le was sitting at the table wearing reading glasses and a calico apron. Chu Xingmu saw that his office was full of wood. If he didn't know it, he thought he had come to a carpentry workshop. Professor Yu's floral apron surprised Chu Xingmu and Wen Ti.

When Yu Le heard the sound of the door opening, he raised his head and took a look. Xue Ning went forward and picked up the wooden boards on the ground and stood them on the table next to him, saying, "Professor Yu, they are here."

Holding a carving knife, Yu Le smiled and pointed to the sofa half occupied by wood, and said, "Sit down, the room is a little messy."

Wen Ti saw that the sofa was full of sawdust, Chu Xingmu dusted it with his hands, and Wen Ti sat down, Chu Xingmu said: "Professor Yu, we are here for your woodcut of "Four Horsemen" .”

Yu Le didn't stop working on his mobile phone, and nodded in his busy schedule, "I've been engraving that one for four or five months, and I've broken three 40-yuan boards."

"Do you know Professor Liang Guoping from Changqing University?" Wen Ti asked.

Yule blew the sawdust on the board to the ground and said, "I've seen it a few times. He is a person who knows how to appreciate woodcut paintings."

"We came to you after seeing the "Four Horsemen" in Professor Liang's collection."

Yu Le then raised his head and pulled down his reading glasses, squinted his eyes at Wen Ti, and said, "Where does he have "Four Horsemen?"

Wen Ti and Chu Xingmu were immediately puzzled, and Wen Ti said: "Professor Liang has a piece of "Four Horsemen". I know a little about woodcut culture. My brother has always liked "Four Horsemen". I saw Professor Liang Guoping collect it a few days ago. Yes, I asked him and he said it was your handiwork, we are here to see if you can engrave another one?"

Wen Ti lightly poked Chu Xingmu's waist, and Chu Xingmu answered immediately: "I thought there was no "Four Horsemen" in Qingshi, and I only saw finished prints from rubbings before, if I knew you had engraved it, Then I must have come early."

Xue Ning watched the two acting expressionlessly. There were four people in a room, and only Professor Yu Le showed a different expression. He put the wooden board on the table and said, "Where did Liang Guoping's woodcuts come from?" ?”

Hearing this, Chu Xingmu and Wen Ti looked at each other, isn't the woodcut in Liang Guoping's hand carved by Yu Le?But the whole Qingshi is just a piece of "Four Horsemen".

Yu Le took off his glasses and asked: "I engraved it and hide it in my home. Who engraved it?"

"Professor Liang said it was taken from you."

"I haven't even talked to Liang Guoping." Yu Le actually laughed, his beard was shaking, and he said enthusiastically, "There is still a wood engraver in Qingshi who can carve "Four Horsemen". Do you know him?" Him? My old man wants to communicate with him."

Chu Xingmu never expected such a development, and said, "We don't know about that."

Wen Ti took the picture of the woodcut before, he got up and put the phone in front of Yu Le, and said, "This is from Professor Liang's collection."

Yule squinted his eyes and looked at it for a while. He couldn't tell who owned this craft for a while. He basically knew people who could woodcarve in Qingshi, and he had never heard of anyone who had engraved "Four Horsemen".

Holding the carving knife in his hand, Yu Le put on his glasses again, and said, "There used to be a student in this painting academy who was very talented, but it's a pity that the woodcut major has been banned, otherwise he must have a bright future."

A few years ago, the reason why the school banned the woodcut major was that it was difficult to recruit students and there was no future for development. But he did not expect that now he started to pay attention to those traditional cultures and crafts. No matter how high the salary is, there are no talents. Yu Le said it was a pity when he found out.

Chu Xingmu remembered Lang Lang saying that the boy she met at Wang Yuling's house could also carve wood, and with a mentality of trying his luck, Chu Xingmu asked, "What major is that student? Where is he now?"

"He majored in sculpture. He was admitted to graduate school and went to Changqing University." Yu Le focused on the wooden board in his hand again.

"A graduate student from Changqing University? Do you know his name?"

Yu Le said: "Cheng Bai, that kid is a good seed. He liked woodcuts since he was a child. I don't know why he studied social psychology later. He comes back to see me occasionally."

Yu Le was just talking casually, but Chu Xingmu and Wen Ti seemed to have found a breakthrough. Wang Yuling said that Cheng Bai came back specially to carve a woodcut for Liang Guoping, since the one carved by Yu Le was hidden in his home , the one in Liang Guoping's hand may have been carved by Cheng Bo.

Cheng Bai was a student of Liang Guoping, who just graduated this year and met Bai Xiaohan. If Liang Guoping's death was related to Cheng Bai, then what was his motive for killing Liang Guoping?

Wen Ti stood up and said: "Professor Yu, can you engrave another "Four Horsemen"? My brother has been talking about it for a long time, and finally found you."

Chu Xingmu sat on the sofa and looked at Wen Ti's sincere look, thinking that he was addicted to acting. Chu Xingmu couldn't appreciate woodcuts at all. Judging by Professor Yu's appearance, a piece of work must be of little value Fei, it would be a waste of money to give it to him.

Yu Le pulled his reading glasses on the bridge of his nose again, and looked up at Wen Ti, probably to observe whether Wen Ti really wanted the woodcut so much, Yu Le said: "Well, the woodcut is in my house It has been released for 20 years, and I will not engrave it again in the future. It is out of print. If you really want it, I will give you a 9.5% discount, [-], and the board costs [-] for [-]."

Chu Xingmu almost didn't sit still, who knew that Wen Ti's agreement was very happy, and Chu Xingmu didn't have time to stop him: "Everything is done according to your request, I will go to your place to get it sometime."

Xue Ning coughed and put the phone back into her pocket. Seeing her boss's arrogance to spend a lot of money for her boyfriend, she couldn't help but lament that the rich people's gifts are too extravagant. Soon, that [-] will be turned into various wooden boards Appeared in Jule's office, when the time came Jule was still wearing his floral apron and sitting at his desk engraving engravings.

Going out of Yu Le's office, Wen Ti said to Xue Ning: "You have worked hard today, we are now in the bureau, you can pick up Jennifer from get off work earlier, and tell her that I will grant her a half-day leave."

Xue Ning was once again impressed by Wen Ti, no wonder Jennifer kept boasting about Wen Ti, saying that she had never met such a good boss as Wen Ti, and she was so considerate.

Xue Ning said with a smile: "Thank the boss for her first, I'll go right away."

After Xue Ning left, Chu Xingmu endured and endured, and said, "Didn't you find an excuse to ask Professor Yu about the woodcut painting? You really bought it."

Wen Ti said: "Since we approached Professor Yu to buy prints with sincerity, we naturally have to do what we say."

Chu Xingmu held back for a long time, and said: "Twenty thousand is enough for you to eat braised pork for a year."

Wen Ti immediately said: "Then I am willing to eat it only once a year."

Chu Xingmu: "..." The lunatic in the second generation of rich, well-deserved reputation, the money spent is a headache, he has to confess the woodcut.

When Chu Xingmu was planning to give Wen Ti a class on thrift, his cell phone rang. Wen Ti stood beside him quietly and watched Chu Xingmu from answering the phone to hanging up, seeing how quickly his expression changed. Wen Ti asked, "What happened?"

"Xia Ci just said that he went to Bai Xiaohan's house to look for her mother. Some reporters came out of nowhere and blocked the door of Bai Huifang's house, saying they wanted to interview Bai Huifang."

Wen Ti asked: "What is the interview? How did Bai Xiaohan commit suicide?"

"He said that those reporters didn't know where they learned about the progress of our case. They knew that we found out that Liang Guoping had harassed and threatened Bai Xiaohan. If they wanted to report and speak out for Bai Xiaohan, they would fucking know to make trouble all day long!" Chu Xingmu In the past few days, I have been anxious to get angry, and I will suppress it when I get angry.

"It's the second time." Wen Ti opened the car door and sat in.

Although the police and the school are cooperating, the school does not know how the case is progressing. They have not disclosed the current progress to anyone during the investigation process. It is impossible for the police to disclose it to the media on their own initiative. Joking about the reputation of Liang Guoping, it was Zhao Youwei who posted the news of Liang Guoping's murder on the forum, but Zhao Youwei was in the Public Security Bureau, so the only possibility is that the murderer repeated his old tricks. This time, even Wen Ti couldn't guess what the other party wanted. What are you doing.

The two rushed to Bai Huifang's house, and Xia Ci asked the people from the nearby police station to block the reporters downstairs, but they couldn't drive them away openly. No matter who they are, there are two kinds of people to be afraid of: scoundrels and unscrupulous reporters.

Chu Xingmu resisted the urge to swear, and personally lowered his face to explain the negotiations to those reporters. After dealing with it, the reporters finally left temporarily. Next, they went to Bai Huifang's house. They still wanted to know about Bai Xiaohan. In more detail, with such an announcement, Chu Xingmu can confirm that the murderer came after Bai Xiaohan, asked Zhao You to release the news, and anonymously contributed to the unscrupulous media. You have to be ridiculed by the people of Qingshi once.

Bai Huifang had just heard Xia Ci talk about Bai Xiaohan being harassed and threatened. Before she realized the real reason for her daughter's suicide, a few reporters suddenly appeared and asked her. If Xia Ci hadn't happened to go to Bai Huifang's house, It is estimated that once Bai Huifang was provoked by those people, she would have to go to the hospital before she was distraught.

In the office, Bai Yao was using her mobile phone to keep an eye on the online news about the murder of a professor in the Department of Psychology of Changqing University, but when she accidentally saw a video, Bai Yao couldn't help but want to swear, so she quickly took her mobile phone Show it to Lang Lang: "Sister Lang, how did the reporter know that Bai Xiaohan was harassed and threatened by her mentor? They even went to find Bai Xiaohan's mother! They even put Bai Xiaohan's photo on the Internet!"

After watching the video, Lang Lang didn't have as much reaction as Bai Yao. She tore off a few sheets of paper from her notebook and said, "There's been an uproar on the forums of Guangchangqing University, and the forced deletion of posts made those students more and more concerned about this case." The more curious and concerned, the Internet is interconnected, the current media likes to catch rumors, the police are the least dominant in public opinion, never mind the unscrupulous media, we quickly find clues, and stuff them into their mouths like stinky socks.”

When Lang Lang said the last sentence, he put on her black leather jacket handsomely, and Bai Yao put away her phone and looked at her: "Okay!"

When Chu Xingmu came out of Qingmei Painting Academy, he temporarily sent Lang Lang a mission to find Cheng Bai. He and Bai Xiaohan were classmates in the same class, and Liang Guoping was their mentor. Bai Xiaohan's depression and suicide He must have understood something, although Bai Huifang said that after Bai Xiaohan committed suicide, no young men visited her house.

If there is no accident, Bai Xiaohan should graduate with Cheng Bai. Lang Lang contacted Fang Xiaoqing and Bai Xiaohan's seniors and asked them how the relationship between Cheng Bai and Bai Xiaohan was. Talking, Liang Guoping's communication with him is mainly based on research projects. Although his personality is rather dull, he gets along well with everyone. Lang Lang and Bai Yao approached Cheng Bai to confirm the "Four Horsemen" collected by Liang Guoping Whether it came from Cheng Bai's hand.

Because Lang Lang met Cheng Bai before, it wouldn't be too presumptuous for them to go to Cheng Bai like this. Chu Xingmu asked Lang Lang to test Cheng Bai.
