Owen originally planned to ignore Li Chengtian's words, but he tilted his head and inadvertently saw a look of loneliness under those eyes, and his heart twitched for no reason, feeling like a bad person...

Well, even if the relationship is a bit ambiguous, they are still brothers, and he shouldn't have become so awkward just because of the day before, so he acted after making sufficient mental preparations.

"What are you doing?" Owen walked up to him and asked in an unfriendly tone.

Ling Feiyan was surprised by this move, but what was even more shocking was... Li Chengtian's perfect but emotionless face showed a little excitement, which is incredible! ──It’s only a few seconds, but you can still notice the changes if you pay attention.

"Owen, stop running around." Li Chengtian couldn't help but put Owen in his arms and hugged him tightly.

"Are you worried?" Owen raised his head reluctantly, and guessed after feeling the slight trembling of the other party's body.

Responding in a low voice, Li Chengtian regained his emotions and caught a glimpse of Bai Tan giving him a thumbs up at the end of his eyes.

"Looks like brother succeeded, congratulations." Bai Tan rubbed his chin playfully, thinking that he would ask Owen's brother later, remembering the medicine he gave him last time, he really wanted to know who was next~ Li Chengtian was a little confused , suddenly remembered that Bai Tan's text message reminded him, and said: "Thank you."

Bai Tan looked at him suspiciously, and then realized—brother Owen's counterattack must have failed!

Ling Feiyan sensed the subtlety of the atmosphere, especially when he saw the two brothers get along, and his animal-like intuition told him that something was wrong.

Even though he was very reluctant to think about it, Li Chengtian's attitude and expression were telling... Frowning, it has nothing to do with family, it can't be friendship, the rest is love! ?

No!impossible……!

They came from brothers, shaking their heads secretly and laughing at this unreasonable guess. However, looking at the two people embracing each other, as if refusing others to enter their world... Eyes gradually began to bleed, and Ling Feiyan stared fiercely. Li Chengtian pressed his lips together tightly.

……

Sima Yan may be the only one who was not affected by the atmosphere. He had no time to observe other people at all, and suddenly a bell rang, which came from the walkie-talkie in his hand-"Captain Sima, we found Xu Sheng."

Raising her hand, Sima Yan said with satisfaction: "Very well, take him to the exhibition hall, and I'll be there right away."

Hearing this, Bai Tan turned to look at him and asked, "Are you sure?"

"Ah, now it's just evidence. I think there should be something I think in the exhibition hall." Sima Yan smiled confidently.

Bai Tan chuckled, "It seems that we are very lucky to hear the reasoning of the great detective Sherlock Holmes."

Owen stopped being angry, and shouted: "You already knew who the murderer was? Then why did you let us come!" ── Don't bring such a prankster?

Hearing his dissatisfaction, Sima Yan turned back with a wry smile as he walked and explained: "That's not true. It was just a suspicion before. Xu Sheng is an artist who suddenly became popular this month. It is said that his works have made breakthrough progress. I have investigated him. No great changes have been encountered, his career and style of work point directly to him, and today it can be confirmed."

Owen only gave him one sentence - "You wait for me! Sima!"

Sima Yan expressed his innocence for this, he really couldn't confirm it before!But people like him will never understand the dissatisfaction of being kept in the dark, so Gao Shou in the bureau has since become the punching bag of this hacker god. Who told him that he is a colleague of the same branch as Sima, and he is born in the intelligence department. Woolen cloth?

……

When we came to the exhibition hall, two uniformed police officers stood beside Xu Sheng to prevent him from escaping. Xu Sheng's face was a little pale, and after seeing Owen, he even looked away from a corner.

Seeing Xu Sheng's reaction to Owen, Sima Yan became more certain in her heart. She glanced to the side and started to speak, "The dead woman is a TV host. Does she have anything to do with you?"

Xu Sheng shook his head.

Sima Yan was stunned and said, "That's right, it's normal that you don't know her, because in your eyes, her value is not as a human being, but a work of art, right?"

Xu Sheng stared slightly.

Sima Yan walked to a corner and opened the box with Xu Sheng's nameplate hanging underneath to reveal the statue inside, "You worked hard to change the statue's appearance, but you made a mistake that made me doubt you, you know what it is ?"

Xu Sheng was stunned for a moment, and asked hesitantly, "What exactly do you want to say? I didn't kill anyone, I really didn't..."

Sima Yan ignored him and continued: "Look at this statue first, and then look at these photos." As he spoke, he took out some photos of the deceased's face that he had taken earlier from his pocket.

Owen suddenly remembered what Li Chengtian said last time, and exclaimed: "These people...their eyebrows and eyes are very similar!"

Others looked closer and found that although there were men and women in the photos with different looks, they had similar eyebrows and eyes with single eyelids that drooped slightly at the corners of the eyes. Then they turned their heads to look at the statue of Xu Sheng...and found that it was same!

"I... this is just a coincidence!" Seeing everyone's eyes on him, Xu Sheng hastily retorted, "Besides, I don't know these people, Owen, do you know? Our circle of friends is very small..."

"No!" Sima Yan interrupted him, "I haven't finished yet, the reason why you chose these victims is not because of coincidence, but because they actually have the same facial features as you!"

"Hey...?" As soon as it was pointed out, everyone turned their heads to look at Xu Sheng, "Ah──!"

I saw Xu Sheng hiding under the slightly longer bangs, his eyebrows and eyes were indeed similar to those in the photo in Sima Yan's hand.

Seeing Xu Sheng's complexion changed drastically, Sima Yan raised her lips and said, "Although I don't know why you are so narcissistic, too many coincidences are not accidental. Of course you don't have to admit it, but you didn't know when you took the victim." Witnesses? Or is there no similar shadow in your past works?"

Xu Sheng was left speechless by his forced questioning, his face was pale, and after a long while, he suddenly laughed lowly, his eyes slightly crazy, "Their sacrifices are worth it! My works can only become vivid because of their sacrifices." ! In the past, my works were always judged as emotionless and soulless, I didn’t kill them! I made them reborn!”

"Rebirth?" Sima Yan sneered sarcastically, "Kill them and make them reborn?"

Xu Sheng was angry at his words, and glared at him fiercely, "I made them reborn! This woman thinks she is not beautiful enough, and her body is not up to standard! It is I who made her have a beautiful appearance and a perfect body!" His The index finger moved from the left photo in Sima Yan's hand to the right, "This person thinks he is not handsome enough, his job is not satisfactory, and his luck is bad. I let him have a good-looking appearance and a good job!"

"You mean reappearing them on your statue?" Sima Yan finally understood what the lunatic was talking about.

"That's right! I'm their God of Reinvention!" Xu Sheng raised his hands and looked down at the murmur: "He said that my hands have magical powers, as long as I have faith, I can transplant their souls into In my statue, they have been reborn..."

Everyone thought that this Xu Sheng must have been possessed by a demon, would a normal person think so.

Xu Sheng turned to look at Owen, "Owen, can you understand me? We have the same dream, look at this statue, she wants to have a charming appearance like a sea monster to keep her lover, look at her Isn't it beautiful now? I wanted to bring you back to life..."

Owen was uncomfortable seeing his crazy eyes, subconsciously stepped back, Li Chengtian who was standing behind him seemed to see through his thoughts, hugged his shoulders from behind to give him strength.

"My younger brother is out of your control. To put it bluntly, you are just an unrecognized and untalented artist."

Li Chengtian always has the ability to irritate people when he speaks, especially his perfect but expressionless face, which often makes people feel inferior. Xu Sheng's eyes were reddened by his sharp words.

Seeing this, Sima Yan immediately moved his hands, and the policeman beside Xu Sheng knowingly pulled his hands back and handcuffed him.

"How do you understand Owen's thinking? It is because of brothers like you that Owen's painting skills will stagnate. Do you know how much pressure you put on Owen? In this society, people like you will obliterate the talents of many people. !"

Xu Sheng's words made everyone's eyes fall on Owen. Owen blinked and blinked again, acting innocent.

It was Li Chengtian's cold gaze that made them restrain themselves, and then Xu Sheng continued, "He was right, I really reborn them, and my works have souls..."

"Him? You don't mean Raphael?" Sima Yan frowned.

Xu Sheng nodded, "It was Raphael who woke me up. God's messenger came to convey God's decree to me. My hand is a magical hand recognized by God." After a pause, he looked at Owen as if pitying, " Owen, I believe you also have this quality, I was arrested, but you didn’t! The work of rebirth will be entrusted to you in the future! Don’t let God down!”

Does this person of affection think that killing people is a good job, and even wants someone else to take over... Everyone shook their heads when they heard this.

"Shut up!" Li Chengtian said coldly.

Owen felt a dull pain in the shoulder being held, and it disappeared quickly. He looked up and saw the jaw of the man behind him clenched tightly. He didn't want to respond, and he said lightly: "I'm different from you. Maybe there is a god in this world." , but I am not stupid enough to think that I am a god who can control people's life and death, and being a god in the art world is not necessary for me. The reason why I don't paint is that my hands can no longer paint. I There was an accident."

"What...!?" Xu Sheng couldn't believe it.

"However, I have been reborn a long time ago." Owen smiled relaxedly, and added in his heart-even if he wanted to become a god, he would rely on his own strength instead of going astray. Amazing, isn't it?

Xu Sheng confessed, and Sima Yan asked his subordinates to take him back to the police station.

Bai Tan shook his head and sighed, "In ancient times, there were swordsmiths who sacrificed swords with human beings. I didn't expect that there are still artists who sacrifice statues with human beings in modern times. This world is really abnormal..."

"There have also been artists who killed people for the sake of art. There is nothing worthy of sympathy for this kind of person. When he goes to prison, he will know that he will suffer." Sima Yan took the words, "It's hard to say that this matter involves Raphael."

Everyone was silent, and they also wondered who this Raphael was?

The recent cases one after another in the city are all related to him, and at present even Sima Yan can't figure out what his purpose is. Is it a pure anti-social person who likes to create chaos, or is there another conspiracy?

"Speaking of which, I find it very strange." Sima Yan lifted his glasses, his mind was still a little uncertain, and he didn't have the joy of solving the case in the past, but his heart was as heavy as a cloud.

"what?"

"That text message, and... I think it's too obvious, yes! It's too obvious! There are more than ten people on the list of suspects before today, but today's auction clearly pointed the murderer at Xu Sheng. I can't think of it, it's so strange." Sima Yan said.

Owen saw that he was thoughtful, and said, "If you find anything strange, just say it."

Sima Yan sighed and spread her hands, "Well, I think someone led me to find the murderer."

"Could it be that guy who pretends to be a ghost?" Ling Feiyan clicked his tongue.

"I just can't figure out why he did this..." Sima Yan pondered.

Bai Tan saw that their faces became a little ugly, and they seemed to be very distressed, so he said: "Since the murderer has been caught, let's investigate this matter slowly."

Now it can only be like this, no matter how many times they go back to the police station and interrogate Xu Sheng carefully.

Sima Yan was about to nod, when suddenly there was a loud "Boom—" sound outside, followed by screams from the crowd, and the air was filled with a peculiar smell.

"What happened?"

Just when they were puzzled and started to run out, an urgent voice came from the walkie-talkie in Sima Yan's hand-"Captain Sima, something is wrong! The hall exploded! Several people were seriously injured, more than a dozen were slightly injured, and the gate was broken The rubble of the wall is sealed! Now what to do..."

"──!!" After listening, everyone was stunned.

It turns out that things are really endless...!
