Chapter 2568: The Mysterious Buyer
Chapter 2573 Mysterious Buyer
On the playground of Yunzhou No. 15 Middle School, the annual school sports meeting is being held.
The marching song of the athletes resounded throughout the playground, and the athletes worked hard to be the first...
"My mobile phone was confiscated by my wife..." In the equipment room of the sports team, a middle-aged man with disheveled hair and unkempt appearance said to Miao Ying and the others, "Because I have been going out to drink all the time these days..."
"Probably not!" Miao Ying said indifferently, "You recently spent a lot of money browsing certain websites. Your wife must have discovered it, right?"
"This..." The man's forehead was sweating immediately, and he said in admiration, "You...you are really amazing! No, it's because of this that you came to arrest me? As for?"
This person's name is Ma Bing, and he is Zhang Qile's first love boyfriend. Back then, when Zhang Qile was an intern at No. 15 Middle School, he had a formal relationship with Ma Bing, and even met his parents.
But in the end, the relationship ended without a problem. Zhang Qile left the school without waiting for the end of the internship period, and officially embarked on his career as a painter.
"Don't be nervous," Miao Ying calmed down and said, "We are here because we need your assistance on a case!"
Unexpectedly, as soon as Miao Ying finished speaking, Ma Bing's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Zhang Qile, is that her?" Ma Yan said excitedly, "Is it because of her case?"
"You..." Miao Ying was slightly surprised, "You know everything?"
"Of course I know," Ma Yan said, "She has been an intern in our school, and many teachers remember her! Moreover, she also had a date with me, so... this matter is particularly sensational in our school..."
"Yes," Miao Ying nodded, "You are right, we are here for this case!"
"Hey, you've found the right one if you come to me!" Ma Yan straightened his back and said excitedly, "I've been hesitating for the past few days whether to go to the police station to report to you!
"Unfortunately, my daughter-in-law confiscated my mobile phone...the school has another sports meeting..."
"Take a look." According to the procedure, Miao Ying opened Zhang Qile's photo on her phone and asked, "Is this Zhang Qile?"
"Yes, that's right, it's him!" Ma Bing nodded, and then said mysteriously,
"Officer, the Red Bathtub Case is considered a legendary story in Yunzhou. Let me ask, is Zhang Qile really... um... the same as the Red Bathtub Case?"
Miao Ying pondered for a while, then nodded slightly.
"Then this matter is amazing!" Ma Yan swallowed, and said mysteriously again, "Do you know? Zhang Qile once drew a painting reflecting the red bathtub case. Unexpectedly, she herself actually As the protagonist, oh no, the victim... this... this is too weird..."
"Oh?" Miao Ying's eyes widened, she immediately clicked on the picture on her phone, and asked, "Is it this one?"
Ma Bing took a closer look and nodded vigorously: "Yes! That's... that's the one!
"This painting really makes people feel uncomfortable. You don't know, it's just a photo. If you have seen that painting with your own eyes, it will be even more shocking!"
"You... saw it with your own eyes, did Zhang Qile draw it himself?" Miao Ying asked.
"Well...it seems...not..." Ma Yan recalled carefully, and said, "When I saw it, the painting was already finished. At that time, the Internet had risen, and Zhang Qile and her classmates from the Academy of Fine Arts held a commercial art exhibition. She I brought a total of 11 works, all of which were sold, including this one!
"At that time, I didn't go with her, but I helped her pack those paintings. When packing, I saw this one...
"I remember, I was still joking with her at the time! Ask her why she painted such a picture, this is a murder case, isn't it afraid that it is unlucky?
"But...but..."
Hearing the most crucial point, Miao Ying asked impatiently: "But what?"
"Zhang Qile said I don't understand art," said Ma Bing, scratching her hair, "She asked me, is this painting particularly eye-catching?
"I just nodded, because...it is indeed as she said, there are 11 paintings, and I remember this one!
"It may also be that I heard my grandma and the others talk about the red bathtub case since I was a child, or it may be that I was attracted by her paintings...
"I have to say that Zhang Qile's level is really high, no wonder he can become a famous painter now!"
"Then... what happened later?" Miao Ying asked hurriedly, "Where did you participate in the art exhibition for that painting, and who bought it?"
"It's in the art center, I don't know where it is in the art center!
"At that time, I was too busy at work, and Zhang Qile didn't want me to go!" Ma Mei recalled, "Thinking about it now, that commercial art exhibition should be regarded as a turning point in Zhang Qile's life, right?
"It was after that art exhibition that Zhang Qile's pursuits and ideas all changed. Gradually...the two of us could only go further and further apart. Our levels were different, and we were doomed to be strangers in the future...
"Actually..." Ma Yan said helplessly, "We broke up almost two months after the exhibition!
"She went to pursue her life and ideals, and I continued to be my physical education teacher..."
"You haven't answered my second question!" Miao Ying reminded.
"Oh, I haven't been to the art exhibition, of course I don't know who the paintings were sold to, but..." Ma Yan said hurriedly, "Zhang Qile was very excited when the art exhibition came back, and she told me that all 11 of her paintings were bought by one person Yes, and the price is much higher than she imagined!"
"One person?" Miao Ying grasped the point, "Is it the same person?"
"Yes!" Ma Bing nodded, "Zhang Qile said that the person who bought his paintings should be a very rich kid from a wealthy family, and he has a Xiangjiang accent!
"She said that the man looked at her paintings for a long time, especially the painting of the red bathtub, so he finally bought all the paintings without any counter-offer!"
"Then...how much did you sell for?" Cui Lizhu who was on the side interrupted and asked.
"You don't know about Zhang Qile," Ma Yan shook his head and said, "I asked her, and she said that she sold it for a total of 20,000 yuan, but... I later peeked at her bank transfer SMS, and the 20,000 yuan was just a fraction. ! Her painting sold 220,000!"
Hearing this, Cui Lizhu and Miao Ying looked at each other. It seemed that Zhang Qile was really scheming.
"Since then..." Ma Yan said, "I already had a premonition that we were not on the same level, so when we broke up later, we were quite calm and said some words of blessing, and then we never saw each other again!
"Of course, since then, Zhang Qile has become more confident in herself, and she has found that her paintings are appreciated, so her goal has become more determined...
"But..." At this point, Ma Bao paused, and said sadly, "I never thought that she would suffer such a tragedy, and in this way...
"Officer... Do you think... the person who killed her was the one who bought her painting back then!?"
What Ma Bing said was exactly what other people were thinking.
Now it seems that this mysterious buyer of paintings is indeed very suspicious.
After leaving No. 15 Middle School, Miao Ying immediately confessed to Cui Lizhu: "Be sure to find out the identity of this buyer as quickly as possible!
"Tell Zeng Ke that you can find out from Zhang Qile's contacts and account records. Zhang Qile likes rich people. For so many years, she may have been in touch with that mysterious buyer..."
