The Tragedy of Art vs. Child Trafficking (Thirteen)

It’s really fucked up! Xiao Dongliang cursed in his heart.

Pan Ding blinked his innocent eyes, pouted his mouth, and shook the handcuffs aggrievedly, "Why did you arrest me? I haven't broken any law." His voice was like that of a seven or eight-year-old child.

Xiangfang whispered in Xiao Dongliang's ear, "Pan Ding was originally imprisoned alone, but suddenly a burglar was caught. There was no other place to stay, so he was imprisoned with him. The burglar was quite courageous. He took advantage of the lax guards at night and actually broke the lock and tried to escape.

When Pan Ding saw this, he also ran out. I happened to find him. I thought Pan Ding was a serious criminal and could not let him get away, so I held him down. Unexpectedly, he suddenly started shouting. The voice was the same as it is now, and he said that I was an adult bullying a child. He is older than me, what kind of kid is he! ”

Xiangfang was very dissatisfied, he was the child, okay?

This was the first time Xiao Dongliang encountered such a situation. He said with a dark face, "You killed someone. The evidence is irrefutable! Even if you deny it, it's useless!"

"Murder?" Pan Ding blinked his eyes. It was so weird and incongruous for a grown man to act like a child.

"Will you let me help you recall the past? Jiang Xia, Ge Lei, Cui Wu, their lives were all lost in your hands."

"They?" Pan Ding tilted his head and suddenly laughed, "I remember now, they volunteered. I told Sister Jiang Xia that I needed her help to complete a great painting, and she agreed."

Xiao Dongliang and Xiangfang were both stunned. They didn't expect to obtain testimony unexpectedly.

Direction: "You are talking nonsense, did you lie to her?"

"I didn't. Sister Jiang Xia was originally a nude model. What's wrong with me asking her to help complete the painting? Besides, the painting is so great that it was auctioned for such a high price. She should be happy to be the one in the painting."

"That's nonsense! No one would be willing to die for a painting."

"You don't understand. The world in the painting is beautiful. Otherwise, why is Sister Jiang Xia smiling? Because she is happy."

"She was smiling because she had carbon monoxide poisoning, not because she wanted to."

Pan Ding's expression suddenly changed. "Why do you always go against me? I said she volunteered! If you oppose me again, I will tie you up and put you in the closet!"

Xiao Dongliang stopped Xiang Fang and said coldly: "Is this how you treat Ge Lei?"

"Ge Lei is a bad guy. He bullied Pan Ding, stole her girlfriend, and made Pan Ding sad for a long time. Pan Ding used the family savings to open an art gallery and became a little famous in the circle, but he came out to stir up trouble, bidding high prices for paintings everywhere, causing everyone to forget about Pan Ding." Pan Ding pouted, "He deserves it!"

Xiao Dongliang swallowed in shock, "Are you talking about Pan Ding?"

"yes."

"Who are you?"

"I'm Xiao Xiao Pan, a good friend of Pan Ding. He's too cowardly, so there are things I need to do."

"Like what?"

"For example, Pan Ding's greatest wish is to create a masterpiece. But he hasn't picked up a paintbrush for a long time and has to run an art gallery to make a living. I want to help him fulfill his wish and paint a different painting."

"What you call different paintings are murders?"

"Except Ge Lei, Jiang Xia and Cui Wu all volunteered, especially Cui Wu. He said I was his benefactor and he was willing to repay me with his life. Before he died, I gave him a bath, shaved his hair, treated him to delicious food, and washed his clothes. He said he had never felt so clean before, and he died calmly."

"Where's Ge Lei?"

"He asked for it. He always boasted in the alumni directory and said he was in Nanfu and wanted to meet up with his classmates in Nanfu City. He clearly wanted to humiliate Pan Ding. When he was in school, he was called a rare genius. Pan Ding was not bad either. His paintings even won awards at the provincial level. But after graduation, he was unsuccessful and did not run the art gallery to make a living.

Pan Ding was in pain, he wanted to get rid of his current situation, but he knew that his current life was given by the art museum and he couldn't leave it. He was very conflicted and didn't know how to choose. I don't want Ge Lei to disturb him at this time. Ge Lei's appearance will definitely make him more troubled. ”

"Is that why you killed Ge Lei?"

"Shouldn't he die? He took Xue Lan away. Pan Ding hasn't gotten married until now because of him! He should be thankful that he became a character in my painting after his death." The childish voice said these frightening words, but he thought it was natural. He had no criminal awareness and did not think that murder was a serious matter.

Xiao Dongliang asked: "When you did these things, did Pan Ding know?"

He shook his head. "I don't want him to know that he should pick up the paintbrush again. When he sees my paintings, he will make a decision."

Xiao Dongliang asked him to sign the interrogation record. He picked up the pen and his signature was exactly the same as the note he left behind.

Xiao Dongliang: "By the way, why did you write on the note: It's not fun and it's too slow? You know in your heart that you are killing people, right?"

"Xiao Xiao Pan" looked up at him and smiled innocently, "No, I think you guys are too slow. Such a good painting, but no one appreciates it."

Xiao Dongliang: ...

Xiangfang was dumbfounded. This was his first time to experience a major case. His three views were shattered by the horrifying remarks of "Xiao Xiao Pan". He thought that his paintings were good, but he "painted" them with other people's lives, but he had no intention of repenting.

"Xiao Xiao Pan": "When will you let me out? I still have some paintings to finish. I'll invite you to see them when I finish them."

Fang Xiang gritted his teeth and said, "You won't have a chance to 'draw' again."

Xiao Dongliang reported the interrogation of "Xiao Xiao Pan" to Zhang Changming. Zhang Changming was shocked and thought Xiao Dongliang was joking, but after seeing Xiao Dongliang's expression, he took back what he was about to say.

Xiao Dongliang was interrogated continuously for a whole night and his three views were almost shattered. His face was dark and gloomy, with large patches of blue and purple under his eyes, stubble around his lips, and even a pimple on the tip of his nose.

Xiao Dongliang: "Should we find a psychiatrist to see him? Do a mental evaluation?" He was holding the interrogation record and couldn't make up his mind how to close the case, so he went to find Shen Xingyan.

After reading it, Shen Xingyan said, "Pan Ding has schizophrenia. Little Pan should be his split personality. Pan Ding should not know what the split personality did. He probably doesn't know that he has a split personality."

Zhang Changming said: "Let's contact the authorities to have him appraised. However, once it is confirmed that he suffers from a mental illness, I'm afraid he can't be sentenced."

Xiao Dongliang remained silent. In this case, Jiang Xia and the other three would have died in vain, and how could their grievances be redressed? Even if Pan Ding has a mental illness and it was his split personality that did it, he is still the one who did the behavior, and he has to pay the price for his actions.

What made Xiao Dongliang angry was that Pan Ding regained his master personality, still denied the crimes he had committed, and clamored to find a lawyer. He didn't calm down until Xiangfang told him everything about last night's interrogation.

Pan Ding had no idea that he was sick. He thought his memory loss was due to Alzheimer's disease. He was even afraid to see a doctor for fear of being diagnosed.

Xiao Dongliang dug deep into Pan Ding's social connections and found out that his father died in a car accident when he was four years old and he was raised by his mother. His mother was obsessed with painting and hoped that he would become a painter in the future. He was forced to draw every day and was not allowed to do anything else except drawing.

In fact, Pan Ding didn't like painting at all, but in order to make his mother happy, he had to force himself to paint. The only chance he had to express his true feelings was to talk to the doll after going to bed. He named the doll Xiao Xiao Pan.

From then on, Xiao Xiao Pan became his comfort in life. Whether he was sad or happy, he would tell Xiao Xiao Pan.

When he grew up, Xiao Xiao Pan became an imaginary existence in his mind. He talked to him and cried to him. His only chance for redemption was meeting Ge Lei, but Ge Lei stole his girlfriend away. From then on, Pan Ding completely closed his heart. He could only communicate with Xiao Xiao Pan, so that Xiao Xiao Pan became his secondary personality.

Xiao Dongliang did not follow up on this case, but handed it over to Deng Yu. He could not accept that a mentally ill person could not be sentenced after killing someone.

Xiao Dongliang ran to the forensic room to complain to Shen Xingyan, but Shen Xingyan just listened, nodding and responding occasionally.

An Xin squinted and said sarcastically, "Captain Xiao, why do you always come to our forensic room? You are the captain of a team."

Xiao Dongliang was already in a bad mood, and his voice became louder. "Gu Fang is allowed to come to the forensic room whenever he wants, but I can't?!"

"Who is talking about me?" Gu Fang walked in nonchalantly, carrying a bag under his arm. "I thought it was someone else, but it turned out to be Captain Xiao."

"What are you doing here?" Xiao Dongliang was upset and couldn't help muttering.

"What I'm doing here is none of your business!" Gu Fang rolled his eyes deliberately and handed the bag to Shen Xingyan. His attitude changed 180 degrees and his voice became gentle. "This is for you. Thank you for your hard work this time."

Shen Xingyan took it with a smile, and it turned out to be a Sony WM-EX5 Walkman. This thing was so old.

Gu Fang: "Do you like it?"

Shen Xingyan nodded, "Thank you."

"I have some tapes over there, feel free to take whatever you want to listen to."

Xiao Dongliang didn't expect that Gu Fang not only brought things with him, but also that they were so expensive.

An Xin told him with his eyes why Gu Fang could come, because others came to bring things, but you came with only a lot of complaints.

Xiao Dongliang frowned and stared at the Walkman in Shen Xingyan's hand. Even if he didn't eat or drink for several months, he might not be able to afford this thing, but he didn't want to be outdone by Gu Fang. "What's the big deal? I'll get something more precious next time."

Gu Fang clapped his hands, "Okay, when? I'll be waiting."

Xiao Dongliang glared at him fiercely and walked past him. Gu Fang seemed to know that he was going to hit him, so he deliberately dodged, allowing Xiao Dongliang to hit nothing.

Gu Fang grinned, "Captain Xiao, please don't just talk the talk."

Xiao Dongliang gritted his teeth; Gu Fang's laughter made his eyes hurt.

A few days later, Xiao Dongliang moved a coffee machine to the forensic room. Xiangfang and Deng Yu rushed over after hearing the news. Xiangfang circled around the coffee machine and said, "So this is a coffee machine. I've never seen one before. Captain Xiao, when are you going to get one for our team?"

Deng Yu slapped him on the back of the head and whispered, "Didn't you see Captain Xiao is single? Why are you drinking coffee, a grown man?"

He immediately understood the direction, shut up and slipped out quietly.

Gu Fang didn't even look at the coffee machine. This was all leftovers from his playing. He said in a sly tone, "Captain Xiao, your coffee beans are not good. They don't smell good after they're ground. I have some good ones. I'll bring them over tomorrow for you to try. I guarantee they'll leave a lasting taste."

Xiao Dongliang wanted to sew his mouth shut with a needle. Why did he have to open his mouth when he was a healthy person? How disgusting.
