"What's the information about Li Xiangyun's male companion?"
Liu Ming quickly reacted and said in surprise:
"Advisor Shen, do you think Li Xiangyun is more suspicious?
The murderer might be targeting her instead of Geng Qingqing?"
Captain Yang Changlong beside him nodded slightly when he heard this:
“That’s true.
At this point in the investigation of this case, the personalities and behaviors of Geng Qingqing and Li Xiangyun have become basically clear.
Anyone who compares the two people's information will definitely think that Li Xiangyun is more suspicious.
but!
Although there is nothing wrong with this investigation direction, it is not easy to investigate!
We have previously visited Li Xiangyun, who used the alias 'Si Lan', a colleague of his during his time working in Dajing.
They all knew that Li Xiangyun had a very chaotic private life, and they all said that the men around her kept changing.
But they don’t know those men!
They don't even know the other party's identity.
It has been nearly twenty years. Even if they could tell what a certain man looked like, to be honest, we wouldn't believe it even if they dared to say it!
Monitoring and other information has long been invalid.
It’s hard to get useful information.”
Several captains and squadron leaders around him all had frowns on their faces.
They also knew that Shen Ting's idea was the most reliable investigative approach at the moment.
But this idea also has big problems.
Even without visiting, they can guess that the final result will definitely not be optimistic.
This is also the difficulty of criminal investigation!
Many times, your investigation direction is clearly correct, but due to objective reasons, you cannot obtain useful information.
Shen Ting naturally knew this and nodded:
"Just do good things and don't worry about the future!
You should send someone to investigate first and see if you can get any information about the suspect.
By the way, the police focus was around July 2008, which was when the two men were killed!
The male companion next to Li Xiangyun comes on stage!
I'm also thinking about whether there are other investigation ideas."
"good!"
"no problem!"
"That's all we can do now."
Several team leaders quickly left the office to arrange their visits.
Shen Ting went over the case several times in his office.
But I never found a better way to investigate.
There’s nothing we can do about this!
The difficulty of this case is not the case itself, but the time span of nearly twenty years.
Especially!
Li Xiangyun's body was discovered accidentally more than ten years after the crime.
None of the evidence related to the case in 2008 was preserved.
Now, we can only rely on the unreliable human brain's memory, and it is naturally difficult to obtain key clues.
Almost half an hour later!
Shen Ting's sitting posture changed from sitting upright at the beginning to his upper body slumped in the seat with one foot on the table.
There was a clear look of despair on his face.
“Ding Dong~~”
Just at this moment!
A message alert suddenly sounded in the case-solving group.
Shen Tingru was listening to heavenly music and instantly perked up.
I took out my phone and saw the message was from Chen Yi:
“@All members, wasn’t I observing Geng Bin’s paintings?
I think I found something good.”
Kiko: "What a great thing, please send it out for us to see!
*╭?( ˙o˙)╯?*”
Guan Hongyu: "Have you found any new clues?"
"Whether it can be considered as a clue in the case is hard to say now."
After leaving his message, Chen Yi directly uploaded a large number of pictures, dozens of them.
Chen Yi: "These are all Geng Bin's paintings. Can you tell anything from them?"
What do you see?
Many group members frowned slightly.
They are not professional painters and really don't know how to interpret paintings.
“The atmosphere of these dozens of paintings is rather gloomy and depressing?
The colors are also rather gloomy!"
Hannibal is a psychologist himself and is also very accomplished in art. He left a message:
“The scenes and elements in the painting are quite diverse.
There are village houses, farmlands, rooms, cities, and skies, but the style is very unified.
The feeling it gave me was similar to that of looking at the world-famous painting "The Scream".
Perhaps, when Geng Bin was painting these pictures, he was also in a state of extreme breakdown, pain, and struggle?
"It should be."
Chen Yi commented: “Everyone should have seen Geng Bin’s other works.
For a long time, the colors were bright and vivid, and the spaces were open.
The overall feeling it gives people is also cheerful and carefree.
But I found that his style suddenly turned from positive to negative.
The transition time should be around 2008.
Of all the paintings I’ve ever seen, this one probably started with it…”
Chen Yi uploaded another painting.
The main body of the picture is the village!
The core is a road.
There was white snow on both sides of the road.
And the sky was covered with dark clouds.
The road extends to the end of the picture and overlaps with the dark clouds.
On the white snow on the road, there is a row of footprints extending into the distance.
Normally, footprints should be larger when they are close and smaller when they are far away.
The footprints in the picture are just the opposite.
The farther away you go, the bigger the footprints become.
In the end, the footprints and the road entered the dark clouds together.
Chen Yi: “This painting can be regarded as the beginning of Geng Bin’s style change.
The overall view is still positive, with golden sunlight penetrating the dark clouds and falling on the footprints in the snow.
But the dark clouds also give people a strong sense of oppression.
I suspect this may be the first painting Geng Bin drew after Li Xiangyun brought Geng Qingqing back to Dajing in December 2007.
The footprints on the road gradually grew larger, representing that he watched Geng Qingqing grow up and leave him.
The dark clouds represent his worries about his daughter."
Although the group members themselves could not understand the painting, they all nodded after hearing Chen Yi’s analysis.
The overall tone of this painting is indeed slightly more comfortable than the dozens of paintings he uploaded before.
Not so depressing or hopeless!
Chen Yi continued to leave a message:
“The image of dark clouds has been used more and more frequently in Geng Bin’s subsequent paintings.
The space it occupies is getting larger and larger, and the color is getting darker and darker.
It was no longer a calm dark cloud, but a large, rolling mass of dark clouds.
There were also flashes of white lightning.
Sometimes, the dark clouds even took up most of the drawing paper, as if they were going to completely destroy the scenery below..."
Chen Yi uploaded photos one after another, and the group members could feel that the style of his paintings was indeed becoming more and more depressing.
After more than ten paintings, the style became almost as gloomy as the dozens of paintings Shen Yi uploaded at the beginning.
Just when everyone thought that the next painting would be one of those dozens of paintings, something unexpected happened!
Chen Yi suddenly uploaded another road map.
Big change in style!
The overall tone becomes brighter again.
There wasn't a single cloud in the sky...
