"Please, please." Tajima's brother said cheerfully. "Please take your favorite painting back as a souvenir. My brother will definitely be very happy."
When Tian Chunda and Jiang Shangfeng set out on their way home, it was already late at night, and it was a cold night that seemed about to rain.
"What do you think of that painting?" Jiang Shangfeng asked as he walked.
"Painting?" After Tian Chunda asked this question, he took the sketch in his hand and said, "Are you referring to the huge painting selected by Guan Lin?"
"Yes. Why did Guan Lin choose that huge painting? I have been thinking about the reason why he chose that painting."
"Do you think it's a little strange that he picked that huge painting?"
"Captain Tian, don't you think it's a little strange?"
"At first I thought he was being very rude, but when he said he wanted to hang the painting on the wall of the hotel, I wasn't so surprised anymore."
"I think so too, but there is still something I don't understand. To be honest, that painting was Tajima's failure, and his shortcomings were fully expressed in that painting.
"Since Guan Lin has also been painting for a while, I think he should know about this matter. If he wants to hang it on the wall of the hotel, there should be a few paintings to choose from. Guan Lin should know about it."
Jiang Shangfeng cited the names of several paintings as examples. From the perspective of a layman like Tian Chunda, the landscape painting Guan Lin selected was not a good painting. However, this cannot be regarded as evidence related to the incident.
After Tian Chunda said this, Jiang Shangfeng nodded repeatedly and said: "I think Guan Lin must have a deep reason for choosing that landscape painting. The following is purely my conjecture, which may be evidence that the incident was a murder. It’s hidden in the painting Guan Lin selected.”
"Hidden in that landscape painting?" Tian Chunda looked at Jiang Shangfeng's face in surprise.
"Are you thinking that way? Because you are convinced that the incident was a murder, you think that way. But do you have evidence to prove it? If not, aren't you talking nonsense and deliberately incriminating others?"
"Maybe it's what you said." Jiang Shangfeng nodded straightforwardly. "Perhaps I was overly cautious about that painting, but I will never change my view of Guan Lin killing the Tajima couple. That incident was definitely not a forced sacrifice for love."
"But you don't have any evidence to prove it, do you?"
"When it comes to evidence, there is only that diary, but I don't know if that diary can be used as evidence..."
"That diary." Tian Chunda stopped and looked at Jiang Shangfeng's face.
Although he wanted to ask Jiang Shangfeng why Hong Limin's diary became evidence of the murder? However, due to face, he still didn’t bring it up.
"Please take good care of that diary." Tian Cunda said insincerely, feeling his face getting a little hot.
After a short silence, Jiang Shangfeng suddenly said: "Let's break up here!" It turned out that the two of them had arrived in front of the station unknowingly.
"I have one more thing to ask you." Tian Chunda said while waiting for the bus: "Mr. Jiang Shangfeng, why are you so enthusiastic about that incident? Is it to enjoy the fun of detectives?"
"Needless to say, this is certainly one of the reasons." Jiang Shangfeng said with a smile. "In that incident, Guan Lin is still alive and can defend herself. Although Hong Limin is dead, the diary left behind can also defend her. Only Tajima cannot defend himself, even if he is mistaken for being forced to die for love. , he can’t defend himself, which is very unfair to Tajima.”
"So you're going to defend Tajima?"
"Yes. But, I don't know if I can succeed." Jiang Shangfeng scratched his head and said a little embarrassed.
Tian Chunda felt that Jiang Shangfeng had a very generous heart.
"Do it well." Tian Chunda said. "However, I still don't believe your murder story."
"Goodbye." Jiang Shangfeng said.
Tian Chunda watched Jiang Shangfeng take the subway train to the city on the platform. This was the last time Tian Chunda saw Jiang Shangfeng.
Another week passed by in a flash. During this week, Tian Chunda devoted himself to tracking down another incident.
It was an incident in which an old couple in the financial industry were killed and robbed of 300,000 yuan. Although it was a murder, the circumstances of the case were very simple, so the murderer was arrested within a week and the case was announced. The murderer was a twenty-year-old student, and the robber was taken away. He used the money he earned to travel and have fun. When he was arrested at a mountain hotel, he said without regret: "Because I need money to go skiing..."
This is an incident caused by the frivolous world. He stole money to take a vacation, and committed a murder because he was discovered by an old couple. Such murders are all caused by the pursuit of pleasure. The reason why young people behave like this is that the frivolous social atmosphere is responsible. Most of the responsibility. Tian Chunda sighed with emotion.
Tian Chunda thought of Jiang Shangfeng's gentle face again. Is he still convinced that the incident was a murder? Or has he changed his mind and believes that he was forced to die for love?
Tian Chunda tried to call the office of the "New Century" society. The person who answered the phone was a young man. Tian Chunda said that he wanted to find Jiang Shangfeng.
"Mr. Jiang Shangfeng disappeared five days ago." The other party replied.
"Whereabouts unknown?" Tian Chunda asked in surprise. "What the hell is going on?"
"Five days ago, when I met Mr. Jiang Shangfeng, he said he was going on a trip and would come back in two or three days. No one has seen him again, and there has been no news from him."
"When you met him, did you ask him where he was going?"
"I asked, but he only said he was going to the north and didn't clearly say where he was going. Because I was a little worried, I wanted to find someone to discuss whether to call the police."
"Where is Mr. Jiang Shangfeng's family?"
"His family is not in Nanguang."
"Has he ever gone on a sudden trip before?"
"Mr. Jiang Shangfeng doesn't like traveling. Perhaps it's more accurate to say that he hates traveling. Therefore, he said that going on a trip is a rare thing. This is the first time that there has been no news for five days in a row. Therefore, I I just wanted to call the police..."
"I understand." Tian Chunda said. "You'd better call the police."
Tian Chunda hung up the phone, put down the receiver, folded his arms and thought deeply. Jiang Shangfeng disappeared, Tian Chunda muttered to himself. It is still unclear whether Jiang Shangfeng is really missing. If he is really missing, it must be related to that incident.
Is Jiang Shangfeng's speculation correct?
Tian Chunda gradually felt uneasy, of course! Missing does not mean dead. Although there is no evidence to prove that Jiang Shangfeng has been killed, and it has not yet been confirmed that Jiang Shangfeng is really missing, Tian Cunda's imagination has spread across obstacles.
Jiang Shangfeng was convinced that this incident was a murder. He must have found clues to investigate. When he said he was going on a trip, he probably meant going out to investigate, right? Was Jiang Shangfeng killed because he found evidence?
Tian Chunda decided to start investigating the whereabouts of people related to this incident during this week.
