Chapter 453 Portrait Painting

"The deceased is named Maliko Rance, 37 years old, with obvious scars on his neck. It was initially judged that he was penetrated by some kind of sharp hook. No weapon was found at the scene. In addition, this was found from the deceased's mouth, which was consistent with the information provided by the Washington Police Department..."

Put on gloves and take the candy that Agent Angela put in a bag.

In the art gallery, a large number of BSI agents are carefully searching for clues.

Amanda frowned and looked at the hard candy stained with the blood of the deceased, then looked down at the body lying in the art gallery.

"Have the DNA on candy been identified?"

"Not yet, but based on the Washington Police Department's identification of the candies found in the mouths of those victims before, it can be confirmed that the main component of these candies is honey, and there is no other DAN except the victim's DNA."

There is no doubt that the murderers who killed these victims were quite cautious and left no clue.

Or, those who do all this are not humans, so they come and go without a trace.

It is precisely because the Washington Police Department prefers the latter that they report these homicides to the BSI headquarters.

“Can we confirm that among the victims, who have appeared or passed through the neighborhood where the homeless man is located?”

Of course, for Amanda.

The murderer's problem is not the most important. The first thing she needs to confirm is whether the entire serial murder case is related to homeless people or supernatural forces. If, just ordinary murder cases, even if they are committed by a group, they will not be under the jurisdiction of the BSI. They are only responsible for cases related to supernatural.

“No one of them has been found to have any connection with the homeless.”

Shaking her head, Angela's answer somewhat disappointed Amanda.

She originally thought that the murder case that occurred in the National Art Gallery had a high probability of being related to the homeless.

But now it seems that all this is just the work of some ritual-feeling serial killer.

"Continue to investigate, besides these victims, I need to find out the first victim and confirm whether his death is related to the existence of the homeless man, or the existence around him..."

In contact with the paranormal case, Amanda knew.

Sometimes, these supernatural forces do not only act on the person involved themselves, or death is one of the costs of using this supernatural force.

Amanda will not easily make a judgment on the case before confirming the truth.

Here, Amanda, Angela and others are conducting a carpet-style search for deaths in the art gallery.

On the other hand, Spike looked idle and wandered around the museum, admiring the portraits of various characters hanging in the exhibition.

Stopped before a portrait, Spike's slightly drooping blue eyes stayed on the contents of the portrait for a long time.

"Can you introduce this portrait?"

Immediately afterwards, the organizer was pulled to the portrait, pointed to the portrait painting hanging on the wall and asked.

"This is a portrait of modern figures from around the 19th century..."

Facing Spike's question, although the organizer was helpless about his approach, he still patiently introduced it, pointing to the black portrait in the painting and said: "The painter is named Daniel Robbetel. He was born in New Orleans in the 19th century. He is a rare black painter in modern history. Daniel Robbetel was originally the son of a slave. His father was famous for inventing a machine for producing shoes after the Civil War and became a rich man..."

"It is precisely because of this that Daniel Robbetel received a good education since childhood, became a rare black man of the wealthy class at that time, and became a painter famous for portraiture. This work in front of him is the self-portrait created by Daniel Robbetel. The brushstrokes and lines of the paintings have already had a clear style. Compared with the portraits created by Daniel Robbetel in the future, although there is still a gap, it also shows some style..."

The forced suspension of the exhibition obviously made the responsible organizer depressed.

However, Spike's inquiry somewhat relieved his inner depression. Therefore, after introducing the self-portrait of Daniel Robbiere in front of him, the organizer was still feeling a little unsatisfied and pulled Spike beside him to another exhibition area of ​​the art exhibition.

"In addition to the self-portraits left by Daniel Robbiere, in fact, we have also collected the last portrait of Daniel Robbiere's death."

Under the leadership of the organizer, Spike came to a portrait with a larger length than the previous self-portrait.

This is a portrait of a white woman. On the painting, you can see a blonde woman standing in front of the portrait, smiling, and in the mirror held in the woman's hand, you can vaguely see the figure of Daniel Robbiere's creation reflected in it.

"Before death?"

After taking a look, Daniel Robbettel's still young and blurry face in the mirror.

Spike thought of the death of Daniel Robbiere mentioned by the organizer, blinked his eyes, and then asked the organizer who was talking around him.

"Sir, you mentioned that Daniel Robbiere died after creating this portrait. Can you tell me how he died?"

Faced with Spike's question, the organizer stopped his introduction to the painting techniques with some satisfaction.

The expression on his face hesitated for a moment before he sighed.

"In fact, a large part of the death of Daniel Robbiere comes from the epitome of the black and white race opposition at that time. Judging from the later stories, Daniel Robbiere was employed by a rich man to paint portraits for his daughter. During the painting, Daniel Robbiere and the rich man's daughter fell in love and soon got together."

"It's just a pity that in that era, love between blacks and whites was obviously not allowed, so after being discovered by the rich man that Daniel Robbitel was with his daughter, the other party was furious and hired a group of people to kill Daniel Robbitel cruelly, which also led to this portrait becoming the last work left by Daniel Robbitel during his lifetime."

"Originally, the rich man planned to burn this piece, but her daughter, the rich man who fell in love with Daniel Robbiere in the story, protected her and was only now bought by us as an exhibition."
