"He is a painter who paints very carefully. I think his nerves are very delicate. However, because his painting skills have not improved, he will give up his paintbrush and stop painting when he encounters a bottleneck. Because he is running a hotel. He's very clever, so wouldn't it be nice if he stopped painting? He seems to be involved in this incident."
"Were Guan Lin and the dead Tajima very close?"
"Yes. Their personalities are completely different. Maybe this will bring them closer. Guan Lin once praised Tajima's talent."
Is this really the case? Tian Chunda thought so. This remark made Tian Chunda feel that Tajima's position in the New Century Society was very subtle. Tian Chunda stopped asking and resigned and left the New Century Club. Although he felt that the two people in the club were somewhat biased, they could confirm what Kuwahara said.
As soon as Tian Chunda returned to the criminal investigation detachment, she immediately received a report that Hong Limin's diary was found in the hotel where she stayed.
Tian Chunda read the diary written by Hong Limin in delicate handwriting twice.
"how?"
Hao Dong, a veteran detective who found the diary, said: "I think this diary can completely corroborate Guan Lin's testimony."
"Yes." Tian Chunda put the diary on the table and raised his bloodshot eyes.
"This diary can indeed corroborate Guan Lin's testimony. If it is true as what is written in this diary, Tajima was angry that his wife had an affair with Guan Lin. On the surface, he agreed to divorce, but in fact he wanted to kill his wife and then commit suicide."
"I think everything recorded in this diary is true." Detective Hao Dong said.
"Who should we send to investigate the health pharmacy mentioned in this diary?"
"I'm going."
"Very good, I'll go too. If this pharmacy sells poison to Tajima as Hong Limin thinks, it can prove Guan Lin's innocence." Tian Cunda said and stood up from the chair.
Since the health pharmacy is located near Forest Park, I found it right away. Just like what was recorded in the diary, it was a small, dark pharmacy. A middle-aged man came out to greet them. Tian Chunda remembered that the diary described the boss as follows: "Rather than a boss, he is more like a construction worker." Tian Chunda also thought so.
Tian Chunda first took out his police card and showed it to the other party. At that moment, Tian Chunda saw a slightly embarrassed look on the other party's face.
"Do you still remember that this woman came to your pharmacy four days ago?" Tian Chunda showed Hong Limin's photo to the middle-aged man.
The pharmacy owner tilted his head as if he didn't know how to answer. After a while, he nodded reluctantly.
"This woman should have been here that day."
This time Tian Chunda took out Tajima's photo and showed it to the other party.
The other person shook his head. "No, I have never seen this person. This woman said some incomprehensible things that day, which made me very troubled because she insisted that this person had been to our pharmacy. In fact, this person did not come."
"Really?"
"Of course it is true, because this woman was the only one who came to this pharmacy that day, so there is no way she can be mistaken."
Tian Chunda smiled because he could clearly see that the other party was lying.
Judging from the fact that the other party looked a little embarrassed when he saw the police card, he must have done something shameful.
"Do you even want to lie to us?" Tian Chunda changed his tone and stared at the other person's face.
"Whether this person has come or not, we will know as soon as we investigate, okay? If you insist that this person has not come, we will launch an investigation. Don't regret it if you are sent to the Public Security Bureau."
"..."
"How is it? Has this person been here before?"
"Been here." The pharmacy owner whispered.
"Why did you lie to this woman that you didn't come when she came to ask?"
"Because this man asked me not to let anyone know he was here."
"So, you were bribed by this person? He didn't come to buy cold medicine, right?"
"Then..." the other party tilted his head again and said. "sorry."
The pharmacy owner whispered, lowered his head and said, "Because I sold things I shouldn't have sold."
"What are you selling him?"
"yes……"
"You didn't sell him potassium cyanate, did you?"
"Why do you think that?"
"Because two people died, did you really sell potassium cyanate to him? And why did you sell potassium cyanate to him?"
"Because of……"
"for money?"
"No, it's not for money. I'm not the kind of person who sells dangerous items without conscience for money. Because he repeatedly emphasized that potassium cyanate is needed for painting, I sold it to him. Although I don't know how to paint, I I know Mr. Tajima because I have seen his photos. Since he is a famous painter, I thought he would not lie, so I sold him the potassium cyanate I had on hand."
"Potassium cyanate is needed for painting. How do you say this?"
"He said that by mixing potassium cyanate into the paint, the painting would be glossier."
"Do you believe what he said?"
"Yes. Because he is a famous painter, and I also asked him to sign."
"Signature? Why do you need his signature?"
"For the sake of caution, when I sell highly toxic drugs, I always ask the buyers to sign on the signature book. In this way, if the highly toxic drugs are misused, it has nothing to do with me."
"Let me see this guy's signature."
"OK."
The pharmacy owner took out a black leather signature book, the size of a college notebook, with white ink written on the black leather: "Signature Book of Highly Poisonous Drug Purchasers."
Tajima's signature is on the third page. The signature on the first line of that page is Lin Youping, who seems to be a doctor, with the word "morphine" stamped on it with a rubber stamp.
The second line is Tajima's signature. His signature is slightly tilted to the upper right corner.
The occupation column is "painter", the remarks column is "painting materials", the handwriting is the same as the signature, and the words "potassium cyanate" are stamped with a rubber stamp.
"I'm not lying, am I?" The pharmacy owner seemed a little uneasy as he looked at the faces of Detective Tian Chunda and Detective Hao Dong, but they did not answer.
"Can you lend us this autograph book for two or three days?" Tian Chunda asked.
"Okay. But what will happen to me? Will I be guilty?" the pharmacy owner asked with a pale face.
Tian Chunda said coldly: "At least two people have died thanks to your sale of potassium cyanate. You should reflect on this matter. I think the relevant departments will summon you in the near future."
The "Poison Buyer's Signature Book" brought back by Detective Tian Chunda and Hao Dong was immediately sent for handwriting appraisal. As Tian Chunda expected, the result was indeed Tajima's handwriting.
"As a result, the possibility of being forced to die for love has become stronger." Detective Hao Dong said. "However, the drugstore owner said that he sells potassium cyanate for art, which puzzles me."
