"Luo Wen actually said that everything is for my own good. The reason why the name Ruan Wen is known to the world is because of the funds, channels and hard publicity provided by my father. Without their help, my career would be like

The period from 1985 to 1994 was the same, and there would be no improvement. Li Wen said a few words for me, but Luo Wen laughed at him, saying that without him, Li Wen would still be a low-level reptile who makes a living by cheating.

, how could he have endless money like today? Driven by anger, Li Wen tied him up and began to question his father."

"Your reasoning is correct. What happened in the Netherlands was just his escape plan. The 'General' was completely deceived by the Russians and the Dutch police. Wu Xin knew about the 'General's' plan early on, but he didn't say anything.

If it weren't for his excellent craftsmanship and some value as an electrotype master, he would have been disposed of by Bo Zai. Later, Luo Wen saw Li Wen's talent and attracted him to join the organization. Then he got the electrotype, raw materials, and equipment, and produced

If counterfeit banknotes can be mistaken for real ones, Wu Xin will be useless."

"Later, Wu Xin accidentally heard Luo Wen calling his father, so he used counterfeit money to buy an antique clock, which attracted Canadian policeman Li Yongzhe."

"Faced with Li Wen's threat, Luo Wen finally told him about his father's seclusion in Chiang Rai, Thailand. Then I discussed it with him and decided to take the opportunity to stop making and selling counterfeit banknotes. But before that, we had to solve the problem.

To get rid of Li Yongzhe, Li Wen said that he wanted to silence them and simply kill Hua Nu, Bo Zai and others so that we could be safe. I did not agree and wanted to give them a chance."

"After they finished transporting the things, everyone met in the guest room and contacted Li Yongzhe to come over for the transaction. After Bo Zai killed someone, I opened the door to the bedroom and asked them to get rid of Luo Wen as well, because I wanted to know whether they stood on my father's side.

Over there, still stand with me."

"When the Chinese women hesitated, Li Wen decisively shot them and left with Li Yongzhe's 3 million US dollars. I deceived the police as Ruan Wen."

Hearing this, Lin Yue nodded slightly.

As he suspected, the reason why Wu Xiuqing was able to reveal the relationship between He Weilan and Li Yongzhe when he came to bail Li Wen was because it turned out that Miss Ruan who survived the Tsim Sha Tsui hotel shooting was the "painter" himself, because He Weilan later gave her away

When I went to the hospital, I talked about what happened between myself and Li Yongzhe.

"No wonder the 'painter' in Li Wen's confession said that men who achieve great things are all because of women. In the final analysis, he changed from a cowardly and inferior forger to a ruthless character who kills without batting an eye, all to protect you and satisfy you.

you."

Wu Xiuqing glanced at Lin Yue: "Didn't you do a lot for her?"

Lin Yue smiled without explaining: "What about the back?"

"Li Wen and I found where my father lived, but after we met, we found that everything was meaningless. Apart from questioning and cursing, could we kill him? Seeing that things had come to this point, he promised to help us settle the rest of the matter.

Just like you’ve done before.”

"The first step is to kill Wu Xin's whole family, the second step is to ask Baisha to send two scapegoats, the third step is to send Li Wen to prison, and then notify HK as soon as possible to issue an extradition request. What happens next?

We all know it. When the scapegoat’s yacht exploded, Li Wen and I’s yacht had already arrived in the Philippines.”

Lin Yue stood up and walked to the window, watching the flow of people coming and going downstairs.

"Many times, reality is more exciting than the movie story."

Wu Xiuqing said: "Now you are satisfied."

"Satisfied."

"Then let's get started."

"good."

…

The next morning.

In a single room not far from Wu Xiuqing's ward, Lin Yue opened the door and walked in, nodding to the guarding police officer on his left.

The police officer told him to use the walkie-talkie on the chair to contact him if he needed anything, then turned around and left.

"Mr. Wu, are you satisfied with the environment here?"

There was a man sitting on the hospital bed, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a face with Chinese characters, and a unique power of a strong man, especially the stubble around his chin, which not only did not look slovenly, but added a touch of wildness.

"I have someone to accompany me 24 hours a day, and I can also read, read newspapers and listen to the radio. It's pretty good."

"That's good. I came here today because I have something I want to ask Mr. Wu to cooperate with."

Lin Yue pulled up a chair and sat down: "If you plead guilty with a good attitude, the police promise to help you get a reduced sentence."

Wu Yuansheng glanced at him: "If these are the questions asked by the HK police, I have repeated them several times and don't want to waste any more time."

Lin Yue smiled and said, "Don't refuse in a hurry. Before that, please listen to the contents of the tape."

He put the tape recorder on the bedside table and pressed the play button.

rustle……

About ten seconds later, a female voice came from the speaker.

"In 1985, I left Hong Kong and went to Vancouver to find a new life..."

After a while, the tape content is played.

Wu Yuansheng looked at Lin Yue expressionlessly: "I'm curious how you convinced her."

"As long as you agree to cooperate, I'll tell you, how about it?"

Wu Yuansheng remained silent and stared at him for a long time.

Lin Yue didn't shy away and looked against his gaze.

The two people faced off for almost a minute, and Wu Yuansheng smiled: "Okay, I will do whatever you want me to do."

Lin Yue said: "Before that, I have a question."

"explain."

"You have done so much just to make Wu Xiuqing a 'painter'?"

Wu Yuansheng said: "Do you know how I became a 'painter'?"

Lin Yue shook his head.

"When I was twenty-two years old, my father called me back from overseas. He pointed to my mother on the hospital bed and said that the family had no money. All the savings over the years were used for me to study abroad and travel and sketch. In order to treat my mother's illness

, he sold his family’s house and now lives with a relative, living a life of dependence. In the next two months, my mother left because she didn’t have enough money to pay for medical expenses. However, the paintings I painted that I thought were good were thrown away.

No one picked them up on the street, and at that moment I finally realized how big the gap was between ideal and reality."

"Because I owed loan sharks, my father was driven to nowhere by the debt collectors. At that time, I vowed to become rich, no matter what method I used, because the poor are not qualified to talk about ideals, and the life of the poor is only reality.

A few months later, my father took me into a printing workshop. I saw bundles of U.S. dollars piled in the corner. I knew it was a crime, but so what, I begged everyone I met on the street.

They helped me, saved my mother, and bought one or two paintings. Who had pity on me? Why should I be responsible for society now?"

"Oh, there is no righteous person in Sodom."

"One day two years later, my father called me in front of me, pointed to the U.S. dollars in the safe and said that they were all money earned from counterfeiting. In fact, my mother had been locked here when she was seriously ill. My anger was only

It lasted for a long time, and then I felt relieved. What is a 'painter'? Why did my father call himself a 'painter'? What he painted was my life, and I was his only work."

"The Last Judgment in the Vatican and the Last Supper in Italy, apart from shocking people, what have they changed? What changes people's hearts is always reality."

Lin Yue said: "So, this is the true meaning of 'painter'?"

People who grew up in a wealthy environment, received a good education since childhood, and had their own pursuits and ideals, who would want to inherit their father's business and become a thief? So Wu Xiuqing ran away to Vancouver, wanting to say goodbye to her origins.

But a few years later, her father was betrayed by his subordinates and died in a foreign country. In order not to be targeted by the "general", she couldn't even collect his body.

So what if the money comes from an unfair source? Isn’t it because Wu Yuansheng makes money to give her a good life? Others can call him a criminal, but she is not qualified. Looking back on the past and looking at the present, she can’t even avenge her father.

In terms of it, it is only being maintained.

Later, Luo Wen used Wu Yuansheng's money and channels to promote "Ruan Wen" to the altar. As she grew from a young girl to maturity, she also realized the ridiculousness of the so-called pure ideals, and then slipped into the abyss step by step, and finally became a "painter"

"the road.

The protagonist in the paintings of the first generation of "painters" was Wu Yuansheng, the protagonist in Wu Yuansheng's paintings was Wu Xiuqing, and the protagonist in Wu Xiuqing's paintings was Li Wen.

Lin Yue shook his head, not knowing what to say, and finally sighed: "The story is over, let's start recording the confession."

Wu Yuansheng nodded: "Okay."
