"Some members are keeping a distance from Tajima. The New Age Society is a very factional group. There is nothing we can do about it. From an academic point of view, Tajima is a heretic. Generally speaking, Tajima should not Join the New Age Society, because the New Age Society is not the place for him to stretch his original talents.”
"However, Tajima's works were not only exhibited in art exhibitions, but also won awards, making him famous in the painting world."
"Yes. That was also the beginning of the tragedy. In any case, Tajima's foundation was not strong. With his little painting skills, it was too bold to exhibit in an art exhibition. His winning the award made him hit a bottleneck. However, he didn’t seem to notice that I told him several times that the purpose of modern art is not to participate in art exhibitions, but he couldn’t understand it, and because he couldn’t understand it, he went on the road to death.”
Jiang Shangfeng recounted the secrets of the painting world, but Tian Chunda was not interested in this at all.
"That's why you think this incident is not a forced sacrifice of love?" Tian Chunda asked.
Jiang Shangfeng nodded and said: "I don't believe Tajima would kill his wife at all, because he loves his wife very much."
"But if you love too deeply, wouldn't you think of committing suicide? Rather than asking your wife Pipa to stop hugging her, it's better to die together. This is also a manifestation of love!"
"Although it's true, there are also people who are willing to sacrifice themselves for the happiness of the other person. The Tajima I know is this kind of person."
"But, that's just your idea." Tian Chunda said without interest. "Imagination alone cannot turn forced suicide into a murder. Hong Limin's diary records that Tajima obtained potassium cyanate from a pharmacy. Kuwahara's testimony also proves that this was forced suicide. Your good impression of Tajima cannot change this fact."
"That diary," Jiang Shangfeng said politely. "Can you let me take a look? Because I think we might be able to find evidence that proves that this incident was not a forced suicide."
"Anyway, the case has been closed, so it doesn't matter if I let you take a look." Tian Cunda said with a wry smile. "You absolutely cannot find evidence from that diary to prove that this incident was a murder. I'm not pouring cold water on you, that's the fact."
After Tian Chunda said that, he stood up quickly and took Hong Limin's diary from the investigation room.
"After you read it, please return it to her family, because I have made a photocopy." Tian Chunda said while handing the diary to Jiang Shangfeng.
Jiang Shangfeng read the diary on the spot, and it could be seen from his expression that he was reading the diary very seriously. Soon, Jiang Shangfeng looked up from his diary.
Tian Chunda looked at his face and asked, "How is it? After reading this diary, you no longer think this incident is a murder, but a forced suicide, right?"
"Unfortunately, it's just the opposite." Jiang Shangfeng said loudly. "Before I saw this diary, I was not sure that this incident was not a forced suicide.
"However, after reading the diary, I finally became convinced that this incident was not a forced suicide, but a murder. Tajima and his wife were both killed by Guan Lin."
The funeral of Mr. and Mrs. Tajima was held on November 20th.
After the funeral, Jiang Shangfeng came to Tian Chunda's place.
"That diary," Jiang Shangfeng said. "Since Mrs. Tajima has no family, I want to keep the diary. In addition, the diary criticized Tajima as worthless, so I don't want to give it to Tajima's family..."
"I'll leave it at your place."
Tian Chunda looked at Jiang Shangfeng's round face that seemed to be honest, and thought that this person probably wouldn't misuse the diary, or at least wouldn't hand it over to the mass media for publication.
"But are you still convinced that this incident was a murder?"
"Yes." Jiang Shangfeng nodded vigorously and said. "I don't think anything other than a homicide. Unfortunately, although I am convinced that it was a homicide, I can't find any evidence, which makes me very nervous."
"Do you think you can find evidence?"
"Yes. As long as it is a murder, there should be evidence left."
Jiang Shangfeng still said with a confident tone.
Tian Chunda was not sure why Jiang Shangfeng was convinced. After reading Hong Limin's diary, Jiang Shangfeng said, "This way, I can be sure that this is a murder case." Tian Chunda also read Hong Limin's diary again, but the conclusion he got was completely opposite to Jiang Shangfeng's. Still forced to die for love.
Hong Limin's diary records the psychology of a wife who is determined to break up with her husband because of his affair.
Hong Limin was angry with her husband for being selfish and jealous, and was afraid that her husband would get potassium cyanate. What she feared finally came true and she was poisoned by her husband.
Forced to die for love - However, after Jiang Shangfeng read the diary, he insisted that this was a murder and that it was Guan Lin who killed Tajima and Hong Limin.
From where in the diary did he find out that Guan Lin was the murderer of the Tajima couple?
Tian Chunda wondered if Jiang Shangfeng had read the diary wrongly? Tian Cunda also felt uneasy because he was worried that he might miss something important. He came to the funeral, saying it was out of politeness, but actually he wanted to discuss the incident again.
Tian Chunda looked at Jiang Shangfeng's face and wanted to ask him the reason why he was convinced that it was a murder. However, when he thought of professional criminal police asking ordinary people such questions, he felt a little embarrassed, so he hesitated.
Just when Tian Cunda hesitated, Tajima's brother stood up and said to everyone: "Thank you for coming to my brother's funeral. As soon as my brother's funeral is over, I plan to return to my hometown immediately. The paintings made by my brother are of little use to me, a farmer." No, even if I take the painting back, it will just be used as firewood, so I want to give my brother's painting to you. I think my brother will be very happy if I do this."
He is as simple as his appearance. Tian Chunda suddenly thought that if Tajima stopped being a painter and worked as a farmer like his brother, he might be happier.
Those who attended the funeral were taken to the studio. The studio that lost its owner seemed empty, making people feel very deserted and silent. Completed paintings and unpainted canvases were piled up in piles. Tajima's brother said: "You just pick one you like." Take it back as a souvenir."
Tian Chunda picked a small sketch, which was a sketch of a child's face.
Jiang Shangfeng chose a still life painting, which was also a small work of No. 3. Except for Guan Lin, the other participants politely chose small works.
The one Guan Lin chose was the large work No. 100, a landscape painting of Hakone, which seemed like a failure. When Guan Lin chose this painting, everyone was a little surprised and thought he was a bit rude. Guan Lin seemed to have noticed this, so he said: "My family runs a hotel in Dongyang, and I have long wanted to hang a painting on the wall. painting."
