Forensic Medicine Qu Xiaoshui

Chapter 231 Handicraft Murder Case (10)

"Ah!" Qu Xiaoshui had a flash of inspiration, suddenly clenched his right hand into a fist and hit the palm of his left hand.

She looked at the few people present and said, "I seem to think of another person. He has the same gloves and can touch the same gelatin."

Mi Yu and Jiang Yue showed suddenly enlightened expressions at the same time. Obviously, they both knew who she was talking about.

The next day, Qu Xiaoshui and Jiang Yue went to Jiang Jianqing's studio again.

"excuse me."

The door of the studio was open, Qu Xiaoshui knocked on the door and entered.

When they arrived, Jiang Jianqing was working.

He looked up at the policeman who entered the door, and then continued with the work at hand.

On the long workbench is a black-brown wooden Buddha statue, which should be the one that was brought back from the temple yesterday.

Qu Xiaoshui and the others stood quietly aside, watching Jiang Jianqing carry out the restoration work bit by bit very patiently.

"It's really a very fine craftsmanship." Qu Xiaoshui sighed.

Jiang Jianqing wore special microscope glasses, and his fingers steadily repaired the pattern according to the original pattern of the Buddha statue.

"There are scars and insect-eaten holes on the Buddha statues that have been brought on over the years. The restoration work is to fight against them day after day. This is the most important work in the restoration of Buddha statues." Jiang Jianqing noticed Qu Xiaoshui's curiosity, The fingers continued to outline along the lines smoothly, while saying.

Seemingly satisfied with the silence of the few people, Jiang Jianqing continued to explain in a good mood.

"Whether the Buddha statue can be preserved to the next era is connected with the thoughts and emotions of the restorer." This is the result of many years of experience.

"The connection between thoughts and feelings?" Qu Xiaoshui repeated softly.

Jiang Jianqing obviously knew that laymen couldn't understand, so he didn't say any more.

"Can we ask you something about Li Yitai?" Looking at the meticulous Jiang Jianqing, Qu Xiaoshui unconsciously used the honorific when speaking.

Jiang Jianqing pushed the special glasses to his forehead and looked at Qu Xiaoshui.

"Yitai is a child who will never kill people." Jiang Jianqing said with certainty.

"However, the police found something related to him at the scene of the crime." Jiang Yue felt that no one could endorse for others.

Just as we can't vouch for ourselves sometimes, who can take responsibility for the actions of others?

"Fingerprints and the like can be left by anyone who has been to the store, right?! Why did you focus on our Yitai?" Jiang Jianqing put the tools aside.

Restoration work cannot be distracted. Since he wanted to speak, he stopped what he was doing.

"It's not just fingerprints." Qu Xiaoshui whispered.

Jiang Jianqing frowned, and there was still some fatigue between his brows: "What else?"

"There are fiber sheets with the same composition as Li Yitai's gloves, and the same gelatin." Jiang Yue answered truthfully.

Qu Xiaoshui nodded: "You have to know that even different batches of gelatin produced on the same assembly line have different impurity components. However, the gelatin components collected by the police from the crime scene are different from Li Yitai's. It's exactly the same as the one on the glove."

"Gelatin?" Jiang Jianqing seemed to have heard something incredible.

"It's impossible!" Jiang Jianqing denied with a strong tone: "I never asked him to use gelatin."

Qu Xiaoshui and Jiang Yue looked at each other: "But we found gelatin in his room."

"Eh?" Jiang Jianqing's face was blank for a moment.

"Li Yitai also said before that his current technology is not mature enough, so he can't use gelatin." Qu Xiaoshui said.

This was what Li Yitai himself told her when she was in the monastery.

"Then why did he lie?" Jiang Yue's gaze was fixed on Jiang Jianqing.

Jiang Jianqing lowered his head and put his glasses back on.

"Gelatin will not cause damage to wood, and it has strong adhesion and dries very fast. Even skilled restorers have difficulty using it correctly." Jiang Jianqing's fingers carefully traced the lines on the Buddha statue.

After finishing speaking, he ignored Qu Xiaoshui and Jiang Yue and continued with the work in hand.

"Can we ask you one last thing?" Qu Xiaoshui asked softly, looking at Jiang Jianqing who refused to be seen thousands of miles away.

Jiang Jianqing didn't respond.

Qu Xiaoshui asked directly: "Have you restored the wood carvings made of golden nanmu?"

Jiang Jianqing's movements froze, and he pushed the special glasses to the top of his head: "No."

Impetuousness appeared on his face: "It's almost done, right? You have already interrupted my work, and I still have a lot of work to do."

There seems to be no mood to continue the restoration work.

Qu Xiaoshui saw that he put the part of the bergamot gently aside, then carefully put away the paper that was spread under the Buddha statue, and carefully collected the fine debris and dust on the paper with a small brush.

This made Qu Xiaoshui pause, realizing something.

She gave Jiang Jianqing a complicated look, and nodded to Jiang Yue.

The two left the studio.

On the other side, in the police station, Chen Sheng and Zhang Ming began to question Li Yitai for the second time.

The three stalemate in the interrogation room for a long time, but they still found nothing.

"This Li Yitai is too capable, no matter how you ask him, he won't say anything." Zhang Ming scratched his hair irritably, and complained to Qu Xiaoshui and Jiang Yue who had just returned to the police station.

Qu Xiaoshui and Jiang Yue looked at Chen Sheng again.

Chen Sheng smiled bitterly: "He is very clear about the police interrogation process, and he also knows that our interrogation time is limited. No matter what we say in the interrogation room, he keeps silent. When the time limit is reached, we have to stop interrogation. We have absolutely nothing to do with him."

They used all available questioning skills, several times Li Yitai almost opened his mouth, but forced him back, it was really difficult.

"What about you? What do you gain?" Zhang Ming looked at Qu Xiaoshui and Jiang Yue expectantly.

The two looked at each other.

Qu Xiaoshui shook his head to Zhang Ming and Chen Sheng: "No major discovery."

She wasn't lying, she just became more suspicious of Jiang Jianqing.

When the few people were at a loss, Jiang Jianqing made a new move.

After Qu Xiaoshui and Jiang Yue left, he put the half-restored Buddha statue aside, and after confirming that no one would disturb him, he locked the door of the studio.

Jiang Jianqing pushed the innermost tool rack to the right, revealing a white wall.

He groped on the wall for a while, and a door with almost no trace appeared on the complete wall.

He skillfully opened the door, and what appeared in front of him was a dark room less than 10 square meters.

All repair tools are readily available in the darkroom.

Jiang Jianqing restored the shelf to its original position, walked into the darkroom, and closed the door again.

From the outside, the tool rack was restored to a complete plain white wall.

No one can know that there is such a secret space here.

Jiang Jianqing skillfully walked down the steps in the dark, walked two or three steps forward, and reached out to turn on the light.
