The second is the motive if Guan Lin is the murderer. If Tajima was the only person killed, it would be easy to explain. However, if Hong Limin was also killed, it would be difficult to explain his motives. If Hong Limin was also killed, what benefits would be gained?
have no idea. However, if it was a homicide, there must be a motive.
The third thing is about Jiang Shangfeng. He said that the Tajima couple were killed by Guan Lin and would never change this view. However, if Jiang Shangfeng's body was not found, the investigation would not be launched. Although the Dongyang City Police said that once Jiang Shangfeng's body was found, they would immediately investigate and investigate. Inform Tian Chunda, however, Dongyang City is so vast. If Guan Lin buries the body very skillfully, it will be difficult to find the body. Moreover, the snow season is coming soon. Once the body is buried by the thick snow in the north, it may be difficult to find it. It won't be found until next spring.
In addition, there are many questions. For example, what does the No. 100 landscape painting that Guan Lin brought back to Dongyang mean? Potassium cyanate is also a problem.
Tian Chunda didn't know where to start. Because he felt that every issue needed to be investigated again.
Just when Tian Chunda was troubled, he suddenly remembered the weekly report he read on the train to Dongyang. The report was titled "The Truth about Suicide Incidents" and many of its contents were fabricated.
In that report, the author said that he had met with Mr. and Mrs. Tajima the day before the incident. Although Tian Chunda thinks it is fake, for the sake of caution, it is still necessary to meet the author. If the author really met the Tajima couple, he might be able to find clues to solve the case.
Tian Chunda went to visit this weekly.
When he arrived at this weekly magazine, Tian Chunda told the counter lady that he wanted to meet the author of the suicide article. The counter girl with a flat face put down the newspaper and asked loudly to the wind behind her: "Who wrote that suicide article?"
"It's Yi Cheng, he's in the cafe opposite." The man behind Qifeng also answered loudly.
"He's in the cafe opposite. You can go there to find him." The counter lady looked at Tian Cunda and said.
"Can you recognize it at a glance?" Tian Chunda asked.
"He wears glasses and has dark skin. You can recognize him at a glance." After the counter girl said this, she opened the newspaper again and read.
Tian Chunda entered a small cafe opposite the weekly magazine. The heating in the store was turned on, making Tian Chunda feel very warm.
There was only one male guest wearing glasses, about thirty years old. This man was sitting in the corner, tapping his fingers on the table as if he was bored. This man must be Yi Cheng.
Tian Chunda sat down in front of the man and asked politely: "Are you Mr. Yi Cheng?" The man stopped tapping his fingers on the table and looked at Tian Chunda with doubtful eyes. His eyes were yellow, maybe because of Staying up all night may be caused by alcohol poisoning.
"Who are you?" the man asked.
After Tian Chunda thought for a moment, he took out a business card and handed it to the other party. Most down-and-out scholars were like this man.
"Oh oh oh." The man glanced at the business card and made a strange sound.
"The captain of the criminal investigation detachment asked me, Yi Cheng, what do you want me to do?"
Humility and arrogance intertwined on this man's face. Tian Chunda remembered seeing this expression several times before.
"I want to ask you about the suicide incident." Tian Chunda said. "You said you met with Mr. and Mrs. Tajima the day before the incident. Is this true?"
"Of course it's true. I'm also a reporter. If I hadn't met with them, I would never have written that report. Otherwise, it would be suspected of firing a cannon."
"Are you going to meet Hong Limin first?"
"I forced my way into the room where she was staying. To do such a thing, I must be very shameless."
"What did you talk to her about?"
"What are you talking about?" Yi Cheng said with a smile. "As soon as she opened her mouth, she told me to get out. In this situation, what else could we talk about?"
"So, you're not talking anymore?"
"Yes. However, just when I was about to leave, someone called her. Because the other party spoke loudly, I also heard what the other party said."
"What did the other party say?"
"The other party said that Tajima already understood. Since it was a man's voice, I thought it must be Guan Lin calling. The other party said that Tajima had agreed to divorce."
"and after?"
"Hong Limin then covered the microphone with his hand and heard nothing."
"You went to visit Tajima that night?"
"At first I didn't plan to meet him because I have always hated artists. Besides, I had already met Hong Limin enough to write a report. However, that day I went to a friend's house to drink and didn't go home until midnight. On the way home, , I passed by the Tajima house by chance, so I..."
"What time was that?"
"It seems to be more than twelve o'clock, no, not yet twelve o'clock, in short, it is midnight."
"You said Tajima who opened the door said he was busy preparing for tomorrow. Is this true?"
"In your opinion, is it true or false?" Yi Cheng asked with a smile.
"I don't know." Tian Chunda said. "Why do you think it's true?"
"Because he said there was something that had to be completed today and he couldn't meet with me. I'm sorry."
"is this real?"
"It's true. I didn't need to lie to the detective. Since the matter was uninteresting, I wrote the report like a script."
"Does it have to be completed today?" Tian Chunda read this sentence in his mouth.
The word "completed" is associated with painting. Did Tajima paint the day before the incident? Painting until midnight?
"What was Tajima like at that time? You said in the report that he looked like a kid. This is an exaggeration. I just want to know the real situation."
"To say he looks like a kid is a bit exaggerated." Yi Jichen laughed again.
"But it's true that his eyes are bloodshot, it's true that he seems tired, and his hands are covered in paint."
"Paint?" Was Tajima really painting the day before the incident?
"I really don't understand." Tian Chunda muttered to himself repeatedly.
As a result of his meeting with reporter Yi Zheng, he got new questions. Originally, Tian Chunda wanted to find clues to solve this incident, but he got new questions. However, this new question might also be a clue.
Tian Chunda considered investigating what paintings Tajima drew the day before the incident.
From the sentence "finished today", we can see that his painting has a deadline.
Tian Chunda remembered that Hong Limin's diary mentioned that Tajima went on a sketching trip to the beach. Tajima went to the beach to sketch at the request of the magazine. He must complete it, which probably means sketching, right?
