Chapter 12: The Frozen Summer
The bald man is about thirty years old, with fat heads and big ears, and has earrings on his right ear. It was summer and he actually wore a down jacket.
When the police took the record, he was sweating profusely. He strongly asked the police to write down his English stage name, and then told how he bought a dead baby and made amber. He buried it in the soil to give people a surprise. When the art festival opens in a few days, he would invite reporters to excavate the amber corpse together.
Su Mei said: Why do you want to wear a down jacket?
The bald man said: Whether it is painting, literature, or film and television, for Chinese art, it is winter and the ice age. This is also the theme that my works want to express most.
Hualong said: Brother, what we want to hear is how you killed someone.
The bald man said: I am a performance artist, thank you.
Professor Liang said: Wearing cotton jackets in summer is performance art?
The bald man said: Lin Daiyu burys flowers, Jiang Ziya fishing, and Li Taibai invites the moon, are all performance art. Performance art is a dynamic comprehensive art that combines performance, vision, modeling, language and other forms.
Bao Zhan asked: Who did you buy the dead baby from? Where is the mold used to make amber now? What does the sentence you left behind mean?
The bald man made a set of lies seriously, claiming that he had bought a dead baby from the hospital and made it into amber at home. He could not tell more details and was unaware of the self-adhesive stickers on the amber corpse. The special case team saw that the person was just trying to use the police to achieve his famous purpose, and did not find relevant physical evidence at his residence, so he criticized and educated him and released him.
The bald man reluctantly opened the handcuffs, and begged: Can you detain me for half a month? Please, and then told the outside world that I did it. How can you do this? I want to sue you, that it is my work. You have violated my rights and returned my work to me.
Hualong confiscated the handcuffs and rudely pushed him out of the police room. The bald man actually asked to return the handcuffs to him.
Hualong was happy and said: Why don’t you go and grab something or something, and we will handcuff you again.
The bald man said: Handcuffs are my props. I want to find a woman, and I will tie them with me for a year without contact with each other.
Su Mei also smiled and asked: Did you find it?
The bald man said: No, are you willing to handcuff me? I promise not to touch you, beauty, for the sake of art, let’s discuss how it is. This work is called "Yin and Yang Separation", or "Same Bed and Different Dreams". Alas, I’m so naive, I took off this down jacket first...
During the visit, the special case team found that many farmhouse yards sent to the village were painters' studios, and many mainstream painters were disdainful of performance art. Performance art is in a semi-underground state, and the performance places are generally circulated in private places or in the wilderness by taking photos or videos. Because the annual art festival is about to open, performance artists are gathered here, they keep their works silent and keep them confidential in advance, looking forward to making a splash in front of many reporters at home and abroad.
The special case team did not find suspicious people in the delivery village, but they firmly believe that the murderer who created the amber child corpse case was a performance artist, and everyone vaguely felt that the murderer would appear at the art festival.
Performance artists often use police as dynamic elements to design them. They are not afraid of police, they just use police.
Be a special audience.
There is a sentence on the sticker sticker attached to the amber child corpse: When I rot into defecation, my words were still vivid!
Su Mei searched for this sentence on the computer, but no results were found on the Internet, which means that the sentence was original by the murderer, not quoted from others. She had a sudden inspiration and logged into the public security intranet, searched again, and found an important clue.
In October last year, a public security case occurred at a Xinhua bookstore on Wangfujing Street.
Every October, the Swedish Academy of Literature will select the Nobel Prize for Literature of this year. Many bookstores will take advantage of the situation to sell books from previous Nobel Prize winners. The same is true for this bookstore. They specially built a bookshelves filled with award-winning works.
One day, a sloppy young man walked into the bookstore. The staff noticed that the man was very thin, with a goatee, with deep eye sockets, wearing a shabby denim jacket on his upper body and an equally shabby jeans on his lower body. His clothes were written with a few slogans "Great Poet Liu Ming", "Winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature", "Awaken, literature!".
These three slogans are written in yellow paint on the clothes, which is very eye-catching. The bookstore staff looked at the weird man, pointed and talked a lot.
He stood in front of the bookshelf, looking through the Nobel Prize in Literature, and shook his head and smiled bitterly while watching.
A staff member suspected that he would steal the book and observed it quietly. He found that the strange man put a sticker on the page while the person was not paying attention and put the book back on the bookshelf.
Just as he was putting the third sticker into the book, the staff stepped forward to stop him and opened the book. There was a handwritten poem on the sticker.
This man called himself a poet, named Liu Ming. He pointed to the words "Great Poet Liu Ming" on his clothes to show the staff.
Liu Ming said while walking: Three years later, I will win the Nobel Prize, and my poetry collection will be placed on this bookshelf.
The staff said: Sorry, sir, please wait a moment.
Liu Ming continued to walk towards the door and said: Why, I want to sign with me, let's go somewhere else.
The staff said: Sir, how do we sell these books?
Liu Ming said: Even if I win the Nobel Prize, I refuse to receive the prize. I refuse to accept it. I refuse all the honors from the official.
The staff stopped Liu Ming at the door and said: You have damaged these books, and you can't even tear off the glue paper you pasted. According to the regulations, you have to buy them.
Liu Ming said: I have no money.
The bookstore leader came over and asked what was going on, and the staff said that this person was littering.
The four words "littering" made Liu Ming angry. He could not accept this statement. The poems posted on literary classics were his works and were actually regarded as garbage. The great poet Liu Ming was angry. After the argument, he fought and was eventually sent to the public security organs.
Two clerks twisted his arms, and his neck was exposed. They shouted to the onlookers on the street: I am the great poet Liu Ming. When I rotted into feces, my words were still vivid!
At that time, the police who handled this security case published this matter as a strange story on the public security intranet, recording the entire process in detail.
The special case team did not expect that the suspect would enter the police's sight inadvertently, but it was not so easy to find him. The police who handled the matter at that time recalled that Liu Ming paid the fine and wrote a guarantee letter and was released. The case file was kept.
The address in the file is a rental house. Liu Ming had no money to pay the rent. After being driven away, he had already changed several residents.
Professor Liang said: Liu Ming once said the words on the body of a child's corpse, which is not a coincidence.
Su Mei said: Is he a poet or a performance artist? He is really creative. He pastes his bad poems into books, so that those who buy books will read his poems.
Bao Zhan said: Liu Ming is suspicious, but this does not prove that he is the one who killed a boy and made amber.
Hualong said: This person is indeed very weird, has a paranoid personality and a bit violent. He must have been hit by the public security organs more than once.
Deputy Secretary Huang said: Professor Liang, please give instructions!
Professor Liang’s deployment of work must first expand the scope of investigation, conduct a survey and visit the city’s resin craft manufacturers and small workshops to find people related to the case; Tongzhou police once again issued a joint investigation notice to the public security organs and units, first, verify the source of the corpse, and second, obtain various information about Liu Ming. This person is likely to have a criminal record, and find the suspect Liu Ming as soon as possible is the focus of criminal investigation work. When Liu Ming was dealt with by the police, he wrote a guarantee letter and should use the handwriting identification with the words on the child’s corpse as soon as possible.
The handwriting identification results came out soon. The words on the body of the child were written by Liu Ming, and this person was suspected of being a major murder.
After receiving the report of the joint investigation, the Metro Public Security Bureau reported a clue that two police officers on duty had caught Liu Ming.
One night a few months ago, a girl was kidnapped in the underground passage near exit D of Sanyuanqiao Metro Station. The girl was a college student. She took the last subway to go back to school. When she walked to the underground passage, a sloppy young man passed by her and then turned around to follow her. The girl was a little panicked and quickened her pace. There were only two of them in the underground passage. She looked back from time to time. The man followed behind, muttering to herself, and muttering something.
The girl wanted to run away, but the man caught up and patted the girl on the shoulder with his hand.
The girl screamed in fear and asked: What do you want to do? You are robbing.
The sloppy young man took out a utility knife and pushed the girl to the wall, saying: Don't get me wrong, I won't rob money.
The girl hugged her chest with her hands and begged for mercy: Don't molest me, okay?
The sloppy young man said: I am not a hooligan, I am a poet. I just wrote a poem and read it to you.
A girl was once kidnapped in the underground passage near exit d of Sanyuanqiao Metro Station. The man followed the girl late at night, neither robbing nor impolite, but instead coercing the girl to listen to him read a poem he wrote:
I want to say to you what Chunfeng said to Xiaocao.
I want to write to you, the poems written by Xia Yu to Baihua.
I want to sing to you, the song sung by the autumn moon against the red leaves.
I want to do to you, what Dongxue has done to the earth.
The sloppy young man asked the girl to comment on his poems. The girl was so scared that she shivered. Two policemen on duty happened to pass by the underground passage and arrested him and took him to the security station for interrogation. The young man was the great poet Liu Ming. He claimed that he had no malicious intentions, but the police detained him for several days on the grounds of "picking and causing an accident."
According to the case file information provided by the subway branch, Hualong, Baoshou, and Su Mei led a team of armed police to the house rented by Liu Ming.
