The first step in the plan is to find a Che Jianchun.

So Lu Ming made an appointment with Zhang Mingyuan.

The chef is not here, Xiao Gao is not here, only Lu Ming is with hope.

The place where I met Zhang Mingyuan was in a cafe across the street from the police station. I sat in the booth and waited for less than ten minutes. Zhang Mingyuan had already appeared beside Lu Ming.

"A cup of black coffee, thank you."

After ordering coffee, Zhang Mingyuan turned around and looked at Lu Ming.

"So what's wrong?"

"Che Jianchun..."

Lu Ming expressed his purpose and demands concisely. After saying that, Zhang Mingyuan fell silent.

“This is not in line with the rules…”

The policeman was full of justice, but he had a little bit of arguing about his reason. Seeing that he was hesitant, Lu Ming had already organized his words.

"The chef has a conflict with the painter. The chef is now looking for the painter. He got information about the painter's hiding place at the night banquet. The scholar said that if you find Che Jianchun, you can find the painter."

"So let's think about it from a different perspective."

"Che Jianchun has a connection with the painter... but you said that an ordinary person has a connection with a ghost king, what kind of connection can this be done?"

After saying that, Lu Ming stared at Zhang Mingyuan with a bright look.

"It is your duty to protect the safety of the lives and property of the people."

"Now, Che Jianchun is involved with a ghost king. I know you can't deal with ghosts, but I have it. Tell me about Che Jianchun's situation and I'll help you protect people. In the face of this matter, it's not a big deal to disclose citizens' personal information, right?"

Zhang Mingyuan had to nodded when he thought about it - this is indeed the truth.

Then, he thought of more.

With a deep look, Zhang Mingyuan stood up and waved to Lu Ming.

"Get in the car and chat in the car."

...

The vehicle headed towards the east district of the city.

On the way, Zhang Mingyuan spoke quickly and told the story between Che Jianchun and Guihua.

This aroused Lu Ming's suspicion.

"Didn't you say you didn't contact Che Jianchun? Why do you still know his story?"

Zhang Mingyuan shook his head: "I didn't believe you before, we talked about something in the elevator."

This little thing was put aside, and Zhang Mingyuan gave full play to the strength of the criminal police and briefly summarized it.

"If we combine the information of the two of us, we can confirm that the painting in Che Jianchun's home should be written by the painter..."

This matter is probably confirmed.

But neither of them had any idea how to find the painter's hiding place through painting - the chef would have to solve this problem.

He sent the address to Xiao Gao, and Xiao Gao notified the chef.

When Lu Ming and Zhang Mingyuan came downstairs of Che Jianchun's house, the short and fat chef was already waiting in front of the door.

“This is the chef.”

After Lu Ming briefly introduced, Zhang Mingyuan and the chef both said nothing. The three of them went upstairs silently. Zhang Mingyuan reached out and knocked on the door of Che Jianchun's house.

"Dongdongdongdong..."

"Dongdongdongdong..."

Soon, footsteps sounded inside the door, and as the door opened, a beautiful woman appeared in front of the three people and one dog.

"What are you?"

The woman opened the crack in the door and looked at the three people outside the door curiously. Zhang Mingyuan took out his ID without saying a word and said to find Che Jianchun.

The woman was not suspicious, and her eyebrows were full of apology: "My husband didn't come back after leaving this morning. If anything happens, can you call him?"

Zhang Mingyuan was at a loss for a moment. He turned around and looked at Lu Ming and Chef, but saw the chef sneering and directly reached out to grab the door!

"You can drive it for me!"

The evil spirit's violence instantly opened the door. When the woman saw it, she was about to scream, but the chef slapped the woman in the face!

With a "bang", the woman hit the door frame, and her body twisted instantly, turning into black ink marks, spraying all over the living room!

Hope whirred, and rushed out with his tail between his feet.

Even Lu Ming frowned - he didn't see anything unusual about this woman just now.

Zhang Mingyuan opened his mouth but still didn't say anything. He followed the chef into the house. Soon, three people and one dog stood in front of the painting in the living room.

"Is this Che Jianchun?"

The chef pointed to the man on the painting and sneered. Lu Ming and Zhang Mingyuan took a brief look and nodded immediately.

The person in the painting is Che Jianchun!

At this moment, Che Jianchun in the portrait opened her mouth wide, her eyes wide open, as if she had encountered something extremely terrifying. A black shadow that seemed to be a woman was hovering behind Che Jianchun. The black shadow stretched out her hands and clasped on Che Jianchun's head.

"He...he's dead?"

After Zhang Mingyuan finished speaking with a trembling voice, the chef immediately shook his head.

"Not necessarily, but I must be trapped in the prototype of the painter's ghost realm."

Zhang Mingyuan certainly didn't understand these things. Even Lu Ming knew only a little. The chef thought about it and did not explain it in detail, but instead exuded the ghost energy.

The light and shadow behind the three of them were twisted, and Mingji's private kitchen appeared faintly.

This action seemed to have stimulated something, and the space fluctuated instantly. Lu Ming only felt that the light and shadows in front of him were blurred, but soon, the light and shadows were calmed down again. He suddenly looked up and saw that the scene in the painting changed.

Che Jianchun and the woman's black shadow have disappeared without a trace, and replaced by a landscape painting.

The landscape painting is the scene of Che Jianchun’s living room in his home, like a mirror, presenting the scenery in the living room intact - but unlike the reflection in the mirror, the living room in his painting is black and white.

It's like a highly photo-real black and white real scene painting.

"This is..."

Lu Ming spoke softly, and before he could finish his words, the chef nodded.

"This is the painter's ghost domain..."

"Black and white painting environment."

...

Don’t worry about whether the chef admits it or not, there is one thing that cannot be changed.

Painters are stronger than chefs!

Even if the years of painters being ghosts are shorter than those of chefs, as the saying goes, the strength of ghosts is not calculated based on how many years they live.

Last night, the chef had already told Lu Ming about the painter's information. As one of the three ghost kings, the painter also has the prototype of the ghost realm.

The ghost domain name is Black and White Painting Realm!

Even the chef already knows the conditions for the artist to advance.

Draw the entire Guling City into a black and white painting environment!

There are three major conditions for evil spirits to be promoted to evil spirits - talent, opportunity, and the prototype of the ghost realm.

The former and the latter are painters, and the opportunity is to complete the black and white painting environment.

Originally, the path to promotion of a painter was only one step away - the chef's Mingji Private Kitchen.

Now that this last link has been completed, the black and white painting environment has become perfect.

This represents one thing.

"Is he an evil spirit or a fierce god now?"

The chef thought: "Above the evil spirits, under the evil spirits."

“In other words, he is advancing.”

This Lu Ming is familiar with it.

It takes time for ghosts to advance, and this time can be long and short, but no matter what, ghosts during the promotion process are indeed the weakest time.

And the chef caught this opportunity!

Without saying a word, he crawled into the frame directly. It was like passing through a door. In the blink of an eye, the chef had already appeared at the other end of the painting, in the black and white living room.

Lu Ming thought about it and pulled hope in together. However, Zhang Mingyuan also wanted to drill the painting, but halfway through the drill, he was kicked out by the chef.

"Why are you joining in the fun? Get away!"

The rudeness is mixed with care, which is indeed the chef's style.

Zhang Mingyuan sat on the ground with his butt, and watched the chef take over Mingji's private kitchen, and the passage to the black and white painting environment was closed.

In the portrait, the appearance of Lu Ming and the chef slowly emerged, covering Che Jianchun's figure - unlike Che Jianchun, the appearance of Che Jianchun and Lu Ming was a bit blurry.

After seeing this, Zhang Mingyuan sighed, but his eyes gradually became deeper.
