The assistant lives not far from the studio.Go out through the back door of the studio, go straight along the main road, turn left at the third traffic light, and the building where the assistant is right next to you.

That building is older than the old city of Qingcheng, so that it has only six floors and no elevator.

Assistants live on the top floor.

Downstairs, a black Ford was parked by the side of the road.From the window of the cab, Qi Lin saw a woman wearing a peaked cap sitting on the seat and eating bread.

Qi Lin stepped forward and knocked on her glass.

The woman glanced at Qi Lin with surprise in her eyes, and quickly rolled down the window, "Qi team, why are you here?"

This woman is a member of the criminal police team, she came only a little earlier than Shi Le, and has been working with Huang Yuanliang, Qi Lin can't call her name.

"I'm going up there, you stay here and watch carefully. Don't tell Huang Yuanliang, you know?" Qi Lin stared at her bread, and she hurriedly packed the bread into a bag.

"understood."

Qi Lin nodded in satisfaction, and walked upstairs with Shi Le.

……

The door was opened by a bearded man with sunken eyes and a haggard look.

"Hello, who are you?" He opened the door hesitantly, standing at the door at a loss.

Qi Lin didn't have a police certificate on him, so he had to say to him in empty words: "We are the criminal police handling the case, let's get to know something."

"Didn't you come here yesterday?" The man's hand resting on the door frame paused, although he had doubts, he still moved out of the way.

"Yesterday was just a preliminary understanding. I'm here to ask more questions today. After all, the case, the more you ask, the better, so as not to misunderstand anything." Qi Lin observed the environment as he entered the door.

A man's home is no different, messy but tidy.

"Cheng Kai, where is your child?" Sitting on the sofa, Qi Lin asked, noticing that the child was nowhere to be seen.

"In the remedial class, this kid can't learn pinyin recently, so I enrolled him in a class." The man called Cheng Kai hurriedly poured water for the two, and then sat down with his hands flat on his lap. Beside the sofa.

"Children are under a lot of pressure now." Qi Lin smiled politely, "I mainly want to ask you one thing, about Mr. Ivan."

"Please speak."

"This Mr. Ivan, do you usually have any strange little habits?"

"A hobby? I haven't noticed it before, he feels quite normal." Cheng Kai's straight body relaxed a little, and he picked up the magazine on the side and put it in his hand.

"Really? That's really strange. I thought there would be a little trick." Qi Lin said, "Actually, we asked because we found something special next to the corpse."

"What special thing?" Cheng Kai leaned forward slightly, habitually clasped his index finger and thumb into a circle, and the nails on both sides began to polish each other.

Qi Lin's eyes drooped, and he noticed the pitted fingernails. "It's not a big deal. Since Mr. Chen doesn't know, I'll ask something else."

He opened the notebook he carried with him, and just about to ask some doubts, the sound of wheels rolling came from the room.

Qi Lin looked sideways, and saw a pink trouser leg leaking from the corner first, followed by the chair and armrest of the wheelchair, and finally saw the person.It was a woman in pink pajamas in a wheelchair.

"This is?"

"my wife."

"Wife's leg?"

"Oh, this," Cheng Kai smiled, "Her legs are actually fine, she just likes to sit in a wheelchair."

"Ah?" Shi Le made a sound from the side, and then realized something was wrong, so he muttered softly, "What kind of strange hobby is this?"

"I'm surprised. My husband is talking nonsense. In fact, my legs and feet are often weak, so I need to use a wheelchair. Although I can stand up without sitting, it is still more comfortable and less stumbling." The woman did not get out of the wheelchair. The meaning of standing up, "Mr. Criminal Police, if you have any questions, just ask, my husband will cooperate."

The woman's smile is very warm.

Qi Lin came back to his senses and reopened the notebook, "I want to ask how your wax figure technique is this time? I heard that I have been studying with Ivan for a long time."

"Wax figures are all about talent. I have been studying technology with Mr. Ivan since Paris, but I still haven't improved after returning to China. I can't even touch one-tenth of Mr. Ivan's."

"Have you started in Paris? Then you must know Ivan very well."

"I don't really know anything about it, but I still know about my general preferences. Mr. Ivan is very careless. When he went out in Paris, he would always forget this and forget that. Later, he only remembered when he suffered a lot."

Careless Shi Le has already analyzed this point before.

"There are a lot of careless people, and I have seen people who are more careless than Ivan in my life," Qi Lin raised his lips, "But it is said that Parisians are more romantic, and they always have flowers at home. Does Mr. Ivan like flowers? Like roses or something."

Cheng Kai obviously didn't keep up with Qi Lin's rhythm, and it took him a while to react, "Mr. Yifan can't grow flowers, he is a person who can't even support himself. If he grows flowers, he should spend less than two days. Only the branches are left."

"This is too exaggerated."

"It's not an exaggeration at all. He is often busy with work until the early hours of the morning. Sometimes at the end of the day, if I didn't remind him to eat, he would even forget to eat."

"Unbelievable." Qi Lin wrote this down in his notebook, focusing on drawing a circle on the rose, "How long have you been with Ivan?"

Cheng Kai recalled for a while, "It has been more than ten years, and the first time I saw him was when he was studying in France. At that time, he was already very famous in the school, and he was recruiting assistants on the bulletin board. I originally It was just with the attitude of giving it a try, and in the end he really chose me."

He rubbed the back of his head and said with a naive smile, "I've always thought I was very lucky."

"You also studied wax figures?"

"No, I majored in public relations at university." Cheng Kai said, "That's why I'm lucky. There are so many students from the Academy of Fine Arts in front of me. Mr. Ivan didn't choose, but chose my major, which doesn't match wax figures. people around."

Then, Cheng Kai began to talk about his encounter and similarity with Ivan. The details made Qi Lin feel that Ivan was his wife.

"Okay, let's stop here. It's getting late, so I won't bother you anymore." Qi Lin stood up and interrupted Cheng Kai's words.He took a step to leave, but felt Shi Le gently tugging on his sleeve from behind.

"Senior, this calcium tablet is a bit strange." Shi Le said to Qi Lin in a voice that only Qi Lin could hear.

Qi Lin lowered his head and looked back quietly, and saw that the open calcium tablet jar was full of pale yellow tablets, with letters like "SINE" written on it.

Don't worry.

Qi Lin told Shi Le with his mouth, then looked away as if he didn't see it, said goodbye to Cheng Kai, and quickly returned to his car.

"What do you mean by that drug?" He asked Shi Le.

"I have taken that brand of calcium tablets before. They should be white, and there should be no letters on them."

"Are you still taking calcium tablets?" Qi Lin asked casually, and turned on his phone to find out what the medicine in the calcium tablet jar was.

"It's not that my mother is afraid that I won't grow taller."

Qi Lin raised his eyes and looked at Shi Le. The actual height is estimated to be 1.7 meters five, but because of his young appearance, he looks only about 1.7 meters.

"This height is fine." Qi Lin responded perfunctorily.

He couldn't find relevant information on the browser, so he registered a social software account and asked on the public forum, and got the information after a while.

It's methotrexate, a drug used to treat various types of cancer.

Although it is a therapeutic drug, it is three-point poisonous. No one knows what the consequences will be if this drug is used as a calcium tablet for a long time.

He went on to ask below the forum:

【Excuse me, if you take this drug as a calcium tablet for a long time, what will be the consequences? 】

After a while, the replies below piled up into mountains.

[?When I put a question mark, it's not that I have a problem but you have a problem]

[Hahaha, this medicine is much more expensive than calcium tablets, and it is a rich man who can take this medicine as calcium tablets]

[What's so funny upstairs?This problem is serious, okay? Normal people take methotrexate, and the toxins accumulate over time, but there is a risk of paralysis】

【...So is the host really so careless?Is there a situation where your legs and feet are weak and you can't use your strength?Go and see a doctor]

Qi Lin closed the forum.

"Cheng Kai has a problem. His wife's feet were caused by him. He replaced the rheumatism prescription medicine in his wife's calcium tablets, which caused her to use a wheelchair now." Qi Lin said to Shi Le.

"why?"

"I don't know, so I'm going to look into it, starting with his wife." Qi Lin stretched out his voice, using the gap between his words to filter his thoughts, "Starting with his wife's private life."

"Senior, what do you mean, his wife may have cheated?"

"I didn't say that, it was just a hypothesis. As a suspect in the wax figure case, he was also suspected of persecuting his wife. This is too coincidental. There must be clues along this line." Qi Lin closed the door The car door, after thinking for a while, "By the way, I need you to do something for me."

"Ok?"

"Go and tell Huang Yuanliang the news secretly, and you must pretend to be casual." Qi Lin leaned over and said into Shi Le's ear: "I think Cheng Kai is a bit dangerous, and it's best to let Huang Yuanliang and the others get involved. Huang Yuanliang The guy is small-minded, if you tell him directly that he will definitely not do it, let him accidentally discover this matter, and inadvertently emphasize that I will take his credit."

"Don't worry," Shi Le patted his chest, "I will definitely complete the task."

"Okay, then I'll stay downstairs and come over when you're done." Qi Lin nodded, "I don't know when I'll get something new."
