Soul Painter

Chapter 274: Hopkins

Hopkins.

   Ten years ago, he entered a federal prison as a serious prisoner to serve his sentence.

He was charged with shooting six policemen, using explosives to blow up a police car, causing serious injuries to several policemen, and maiming four policemen in the final fight. The reason for all of this was simply that the police wanted Arrest his son-he firmly believes that his son is innocent.

   Hopkins was sentenced to life imprisonment and he could not be released on parole. However, some people in the legal profession recently believed that the court had abused the ‘no parole system’, and they were about to file an appeal for Hopkins.

   The federal prison where Hopkins is located is not in the state of Marseille, and Gao Fan’s reputation and ‘superior power’ cannot be passed there.

   But after learning about Hopkins's past, Gao Fan became interested in the veteran.

Although Gao Fan is already regarded as a celebrity in the art world in the beautiful country, it is still not easy to obtain the right to visit Hopkins. Fortunately, Gao Fan is rich. If he wants to see the murderer faster, he has to add Money, it cost Lawrence a lot of money for activities, but it is still worth it, and Lawrence regards it as an investment.

Because Gao Fan’s Demon School’s “Most Exhibition on Earth” exhibition was successfully held at the Metropolitan Museum. The two works of "Cat" and "The Ring" express that Gao Fan is still progressing and is still stable at a creative peak. It means that Gao Fan's worth will rise, at least it will stay flat.

This has put a lot of pressure on the buyer market. The direct result is that Lawrence sold two more "Mask" paintings, which were sold for 97 million US dollars and 93 million US dollars. The external claims were all 100 million US dollars. So far this year, Gao Fan has sold seven paintings in the art market, with a total price of over one billion US dollars, making him the world's richest artist of the year.

   So, if one piece of Gao Fan can sell for 100 million US dollars, all the investment is worth it.

  ……

   The ultra-high security zone of the Federal Prison.

  All the criminals are kept in solitary confinement here for 24 hours.

   So Hopkins welcomes any visitors.

   He is an old man who looks withdrawn.

  A pair of eyes are like eagle eyes.

   Those withered hands, when held on the railing, look like a pair of iron tongs. It is easy to imagine that when these hands hold the fragile neck of a human being, it can be easily broken.

   Gao Fan, Anna and Hopkins are separated by an alloy fence.

   But when Gao Fan looked at Hopkins, he seemed to have seen a treasure and slowly approached him involuntarily.

Anna wanted to hold Gao Fan. She knew very well what Gao Fan saw. From a'distorted' perspective, this old man looked like a skinny killing machine. His whole body was cold, his eyes were blood red, and his hands were dripping with blood. Human Such an existence is very rare in society, and for Gao Fan, it is definitely a rare artist.

"Don't worry, girl, I'm not a murderer." Hopkins smiled. "If they don't provoke me, I won't kill them. I just want to live a stable life, but they want to kill my son. Sent to prison."

   "Who are they?" Gao Fan asked.

   "The vampires, the police, the tax office, the judges, and the lawyers." Hopkins shrugged, "Who would have thought that we are defending these **** on the battlefield."

   "You have been sentenced to life imprisonment, but I heard that the lawyer is hoping to help you get the right to bail..." Gao Fan sat down again.

"Do you think they are caring about my human rights? No, they only care about the reputation they can get. If I am released on bail, they will throw me aside in the next second!" Hopkins snorted coldly, "I My house has been sold, and I owe a huge debt. If I go out, the tax bureau will tear me up, and I am old and I have no strength to tear them up."

   "But you still have things you can sell." Gao Fan said with a smile.

   "What? My fate?" Hopkins sneered, and he became irritable, "I heard that you are a painter, what do you want from me!"

   "It's very simple, be my model." Gao Fan said, "If you can go out, I will be responsible for repaying all your debts. If you can't go out, I will leave this money to your son." Gu

   "You... are you kidding me?" Hopkins wondered.

   "I have brought all the agreements." Gao Fan said.

  Anna handed an agreement to Hopkins.

   Hopkins browsed the content of the agreement, and found a 100-dollar bill in it.

   "What is this?" he asked.

   "Your reward for being a model." The painter smiled.

  ……

   The agreement signed by Gao Fan and Hopkins was notarized by a lawyer.

Originally it was just a matter between Gao Fan and Hopkins, but at the time when a well-known lawyer was applying for bail for Hopkins, this matter was hyped up, as “Hopkins still Possessing social value' and'becoming a model of a well-known painter represents the proof that this group has received social attention'.

   Things are constantly fermenting.

   Gao Fan’s choice of painting subjects has caused some controversy.

   Some people think that Gao Fan is encouraging criminal behavior.

   More people think that Gao Fan is paying attention to disadvantaged groups.

   Some people even think that this represents Gao Fan’s political stance.

Lawrence’s previous concerns are very reasonable. At present, there are complicated event factors. If the painter’s nationality is further involved, then public opinion does not know which direction it will develop. Once it involves deeper political factors, Gao Fan will be labeled as a certain A political label ~www.readwn.com~ is too bad for Gao Fan.

   Now, the voices of these discussions are only in the legal and artistic circles. As long as Gao Fan ignores them, there will be no excessive influence.

   Gao Fan did not have time to bother with those messy discussions.

  He is busy painting a portrait of Hopkins.

For this reason, he not only has to sign an agreement with the veteran, but also pay a large amount of federal prison expenses. The prison believes that all the labor income of the prisoner during the sentence is the prison, and acting as a model is obviously a kind of labor. Smiled angrily by this shameless thought.

   Gao Fan said that he would give him everything and he would go to the grave.

   This painting is very complicated according to Gao Fan's requirements, and it took a full twenty days to paint.

  The drawing is completed.

   This work can be said to be hot before exhibition.

   One is because the exhibition "The Strongest on Earth" has been going on for more than a month and has attracted a lot of attention. Everyone is looking forward to what the third painting will look like.

The second reason is that the Hopkins case is in hot speculation. The issue of veterans is a hot topic in society. Now the murder case ten years ago has been turned up again. The lawyers who defended Hopkins kept throwing out their views, thinking that Hawkins Pukins's works are valuable to society, and the most important point is the oil paintings made by Gao Fan.

"...I hope that everyone who wants to imprison this respectable veteran for life will buy a ticket to the Metropolitan Museum and see how this great painter uses compassionate brushstrokes to portray a life. Old people who have dedicated their lives to the country!"
