Da Song Private Investigator

Chapter 888 How to Steal a Painting

What the second lady said made everyone feel that Cui Jian was very strange, why did he not leave the mansion after leaving Du Cao's mansion, and did not see anyone?

Is he avoiding suspicion?

Hwarang thought for a while, and then came to the corpse for inspection. The reason why he asked the question before the corpse was identified was because he felt that the question could be asked without looking at the corpse. Now that he has asked, other things will come naturally. We'll have to wait until after the body is identified.

The corpse was lying beside the bed, and it was thought that Cui Jian heard the noise in the middle of the night, and just got up from the bed, he was killed by the murderer who rushed in.

However, after looking at the wound carefully, Hwarang felt that the deceased might have had a brief conversation with the murderer, because the wound was on the neck of the deceased, and there were two scars on the neck, one of which was very shallow, as if left by a dagger placed on the neck. The other one was very deep and should be a fatal wound.

Two scars were left on the neck, indicating that the murderer first put the dagger on the neck of the deceased Cui Jian to threaten him, and then killed him.

But why did the murderer do this, and what was his intention in doing this?

Hwarang stood up after seeing it, sighed slightly, looked at Cui Jian's two wives and asked, "Did you hear any noise last night?"

The two ladies shook their heads, neither heard anything.

Hua Lang frowned, Li Jingan was puzzled, and quickly asked: "Young Master Hua, what does it mean that there is no sound?"

"There is no sound, it only shows that the murderer's ability is very strong. He rushed to the bedside in an instant, and used the method to keep Cui Jian from shouting loudly. People with low martial arts skills can't do it at all!"

"Then why did the murderer kill Cui Jian?"

Hwarang shook his head, he didn't know about this for the time being, after ordering someone to carry the body out, Hwarang called Cui Jian's two wives over and asked, "Check Cui Jian's things carefully to see if there are any Something is missing!"

Cui Jian's two wives nodded after listening, and then began to check Cui Jian's things with grief. After checking like this, both of them shook their heads: "There is no valuable thing lost, even the worthless one."

"Even Master's most cherished "Moonlight Night on the Spring River" is still there."

After listening to the words of the two ladies, Li Jingan immediately said: "No valuables were lost, the murderer only killed people. It seems that the murderer didn't come for money or calligraphy and painting!"

What Li Jingan said was not completely unreasonable, Hua Lang frowned slightly, feeling very puzzled in his heart, since the murderer wasn't out for money, why did he kill people, what was his motive?

Now Cui Jian's bedroom does not have his body, but he can still smell an unexplainable smell. Hwarang patrolled the room back and forth, and he found that there are many calligraphy and paintings in the room, these calligraphy and paintings are very expensive, some even Famous paintings by famous painters in the former dynasty. Although these paintings are not priceless, they are also worth a lot of money. Why didn't the murderer take these paintings when he saw them?

Everyone loves money, and those who see money and don't want it are fools, but the murderer didn't do that. What is his purpose?

For some reason, Hwarang would lose his way whenever he thought of this, so he had no choice but to continue to look at these calligraphy and paintings. After he read them several times, he suddenly realized that these calligraphy and paintings were well protected. It makes sense, but Hwarang found that Cui Jian not only protected these calligraphy and paintings, but also carried out a kind of excessive protection for them.

Maybe, Cui Jian loves painting too much, otherwise, why would he give up the tender time with his wife and sleep with these paintings in his arms?

It is undeniable that Cui Jian is an idiot when it comes to painting.

Thinking of Cui Jian becoming obsessed with paintings, Hwarang suddenly thought of those paintings in Du Cao's mansion. Cui Jian must like those paintings very much. With his obsession, he should find a way to get them. , but why didn't he do anything that night?

Hwarang shook his head, he felt that Cui Jian didn't do nothing, judging from the fact that he closed the door and didn't see anyone after he came back from Du Cao's house, he must have done something that night, even those few paintings He stole it.

When Hwarang thought of this, his heart sank suddenly, because he was the one who thought he was not a thief at the beginning, but now he said he was a thief, wouldn't that make the world laugh at him?

Hwarang pondered for a while, and finally felt that even if he was ridiculed, he had to make such a setting. If Cui Jian stole those calligraphy and paintings of Du Cao, how would he hide them, and how would he know those paintings? Where are the calligraphy and paintings hidden by Du Cao?

The atmosphere at the murder scene was a bit weird, a gust of wind blew by, making people feel chills on their backs.

Hwarang frowned, thinking, if Cui Jian was a thief, it would not be difficult for him to know where Du Cao hid the calligraphy and painting. He must have been peeping in the dark, so Cui Jian knew that Du Cao hid the calligraphy and painting in that dusty room.

But after Du Cao left, where did Cui Jian hide those calligraphy and paintings?

If he hid in Du Cao's mansion, he would definitely be discovered, so he must have hidden outside, but it was already late at night, and it was impossible for him to leave Du's mansion. Moreover, there was no trace of climbing over the wall. So how did he get the calligraphy and painting out?

Thinking of this, Hwarang couldn't help but paced slowly in the room. After walking about a dozen steps like this, he suddenly understood, and patted himself on the forehead excitedly. His behavior made everyone very uncomfortable. Wen Meng quickly asked, "What did you think of?"

Hwarang nodded: "Cui Jian is the one who stole calligraphy and paintings!"

After saying this, everyone was shocked, especially Wen Feng. He asked Hwarang if this Cui Jian was a thief. At that time, Hwarang said no, but now he said yes. Isn't this self-destructive? ?

Wen Feng was a little anxious, but he couldn't think of any way to help Hwarang.

Hwarang smiled slightly, he didn't seem to need Wen Feng to help him, after he laughed, he said: "The stolen calligraphy and painting of Du Cao must be related to the killing of Cui Jian, if Cui Jian didn't steal the calligraphy and painting Who would kill him, the murderer must have killed Cui Jian for those calligraphy and paintings."

Everyone looked at each other, and then Li Jingan quickly asked: "But... But under the circumstances at that time, it is impossible for Cui Jian to be a thief!"

Hwarang shook his head: "Wrong, he is very likely to be a thief. Imagine if he stole those calligraphy and paintings, what should he do? He must get them out and pretend to sleep, but how can he get those calligraphy and paintings out? It's actually very simple." Just throw the calligraphy and painting from the wall, and in order to avoid this being discovered and the calligraphy and painting being picked up, he must have an accomplice!"
