Chapter 195 A family of barbers who died tragically

Judy's sudden appearance made Zhen Xuelan a little embarrassed, and she hurriedly opened the file folder in her hand like a primary school student who was caught stealing snacks.

Jun Chengzong looked much normal. He put down the file in his hand and asked, "What did you find?"

Judy stepped forward, nodded, pretended not to see anything, and handed the file folder in her hand to Jun Chengzong.

"'The Barber' is a portrait created by the Chinese oil painting master Li Yunfei on the occasion of the Spring Festival in 1936. The painting follows the techniques of Western oil painting. The solid and steady composition perfectly brings the spiritual outlook of the Barber's family of five to the world."

"This barber's name is Lao Zhao. He is a barber from Daliu Village. Head shaving is a craft passed down from his father's generation. The other people in the painting are Lao Zhao, his wife, two daughters and a son."

"However, on the Lantern Festival of the second year after "The Barber" was completed, Lao Zhao's family was found tragically dead at home. All three children and his wife died under Lao Zhao's razor, and Lao Zhao also He killed his own family and then slit his throat with a razor."

Jun Chengzong flipped through the file folder in his hand. Under the text file of "The Barber", there was also a reproduction picture of the oil painting "The Barber".

"Cut your throat..." Jun Chengzong muttered, handed the folder to Zhen Xuelan, and asked, "Can we make a copy of this document?"

"Yes, I can retrieve and copy every file here at will." After saying that, Zhen Xuelan took the folder with the "Barber" file and walked towards the administrator's office.

Because there are many precious documents in the Art Archives, half of it is built underground. Although it is only autumn, the coldness coming from the underground is still creeping into their bodies.

Ever since, when Zhen Xuelan went to copy the archive documents, Jun Chengzong and Judy walked out of the archives first.

"It's also a case of cutting the throat. It seems that this is the crux." Judy asked Jun Chengzong as soon as he walked out of the archives.

Jun Chengzong nodded. This matter is very clear so far. It seems that the fringe spirit attached to the oil painting "The Barber" should be the maniacal old Zhao who killed his wife and children.

Jun Chengzong raised his hand and rolled the dice on his wrist, and said softly: "Since burning that painting is of no use, it means that the body of the barber Lao Zhao must be found and burned to let his peripheral spirit rest in peace. , otherwise I’m afraid there is no other way.”

Judy had no other objections to Jun Chengzong's statement, but how could they find Lao Zhao's body?

At this time, Zhen Xuelan also came out of the archives, holding the information they needed in her hands.

"I just discovered something wrong." Zhen Xuelan walked up to Jun Chengzong and Judy and said to them.

Hearing what Zhen Xuelan said, both Jun Chengzong and Judy immediately focused their attention on her.

The matter was urgent, and Zhen Xuelan didn't intend to sell it off. She flipped her hands and placed the printed file in front of Jun Chengzong and the others.

"Look here," Zhen Xuelan raised her finger and pointed to the reproduction picture of "The Barber" in the file, "The razor here is closed, but the one in my auction house is open."

What?

A look of confusion suddenly appeared on Jun Chengzong's face. He looked in the direction of Zhen Xuelan's finger and saw that the razor in the photo was closed.

Jun Chengzong did not notice this detail, and he could not remember what the razor in the painting looked like.

"Are you sure?" Jun Chengzong confirmed again. If this is true, then it may mean that the painting itself may be their breakthrough.

Zhen Xuelan nodded, but just when she wanted to say more, her cell phone suddenly rang.

"Hey, it's me, what's wrong?" Zhen Xuelan said neatly into the phone.

But the next second, the expression on Zhen Xuelan's face changed.

"Okay, I know."

Zhen Xuelan hurriedly hung up the phone and said to Jun Chengzong: "Something happened. The "Barber" was taken back by the shareholders of my auction house."

When Jun Chengzong heard this, his expression suddenly changed.

You know, from the current point of view, this painting may cause murder wherever it goes. Getting such news at this time will undoubtedly make it worse for them who don't know how to solve this matter.

"Hurry! Where is he? Go and get the painting back!" Jun Chengzong said as he walked towards the parking lot.

However, the home of Zhen Xuelan's shareholder is not in the city, but in the suburbs at the other end of the city. It takes two to three hours to get there from where they are now.

It was already close to four o'clock in the afternoon, and it would probably be dark by the time they got there.

And when the "Barber" started killing people, it was after dark...

Zhen Xuelan's shareholder is called Liang Guangji, a middle-aged man in his forties.

Although Liang Guangji is already in his forties, he does not have the greasiness of a middle-aged man. He has been immersed in the world of art, so much so that he is still single even at such an old age, and even maintains relationships with all the women around him. A certain safe distance seems to keep people away from you thousands of miles away.

However, only Zhen Xuelan, his college classmate, knew that when he was in college, he had an unforgettable love, and after being hurt, he completely protected himself until today.

Liang Guangji doesn't like women, but he likes oil paintings crazily. This is one of the reasons why he and Zhen Xuelan jointly opened the Saint-Berry Auction House.

At the beginning, they made it clear in the agreement that Liang Guangji had no other requirements. He only needed to take his favorite oil paintings home to appreciate without affecting the auction. Zhen Xuelan also agreed to this.

However, who knew that this time Liang Guangji fell in love with Li Yunfei's painting "The Barber".

Liang Guangji initially didn't move the painting "The Barber" because it was a relic of Zhen Xuelan's friend. Later, he didn't move it because it was going to be auctioned.

However, last night Zhen Xuelan suddenly sealed the painting and told all buyers that the painting would be cancelled.

This time, Liang Guangji was excited.

Because of his agreement with Zhen Xuelan, the staff of the Saint-Berry Auction House did not stop him. After Liang Guangji took away the "Barber", he called Zhen Xuelan to report.

None of them knew that this painting was the culprit that led to the two murders.

However, when it was completely dark, Liang Guangji's house suddenly and inexplicably blew a gust of wind... (Tianjin Novel Network)
