"He also cares about paints very much. When he was studying at the American University, he always used expensive imported products. When he heard that a local materials store was selling new imported products, he immediately rushed to buy them. This was also because he paid too much attention to painting. His technique not only makes his paintings have a fixed pattern, but also makes people feel that his paintings are boring."
“Is imported paint better than domestically produced paint?”
"Currently, not only the pigments, but also the solvents and brushes are imported."
"Does Tajima regard Guan Lin as a competitor?"
"Competitor?" Ji Shuichuan said in an ambiguous tone. "In terms of painting, we are all competitors, but privately we are all good friends."
Yoshimizukawa's implication seems to be that the members of the New Age Club are all close friends of Tajima. However, judging from the indifferent atmosphere he felt when he visited the New Age Club, those who are regarded as good friends by Tajima are probably Just Guan Lin and Jiang Shangfeng, right?
When Tian Chunda thought this, Ji Shuichuan continued: "Until now, Jiang Shangfeng's whereabouts are still unknown. The police have launched an investigation, right?"
"Yes, it is currently under investigation." Tian Chunda said. "Although there is currently no evidence to prove it, I think Jiang Shangfeng's disappearance is related to the Tajima couple's murder. Therefore, if we can understand the truth of that murder case, we can naturally understand Jiang Shangfeng's case."
"When you say the truth about the murder case, do you mean that the incident was not a suicide?" Ji Shuichuan's eyes widened.
"It could be a homicide." Tian Chunda answered simply.
"Killing people? You mean Guan Lin killed Tajima and his wife?" Yoshishuikawa seemed to shrug his shoulders in disbelief.
"I don't believe that Guan Lin would kill his friend and his wife. You have no evidence to prove it, right?"
"There is currently no such thing, so multiple investigations are needed."
"Did you find any evidence from my conversation that proves Guan Lin is the murderer?"
Ji Shuichuan asked uneasily, maybe he was afraid of saying the wrong thing?
Tian Chunda smiled and looked at Jishuichuan's face. The smile on Jishuichuan's face completely disappeared, and his wide-open eyes showed fear.
"What's wrong with you?" Tian Chunda asked.
"nothing."
After Ji Shuichuan said this, he forced a smile.
“I just feel a little pain in my stomach because I recently had a gastric ulcer, but it’s nothing serious.
Although the pain has stopped now, I have to say again that Guan Lin is not the murderer. I believe that incident was definitely not a homicide. "
When he left Jishuichuan's house, the street was already shrouded in night and it was raining lightly. Although he was soaked by the rain, Tian Chunta didn't feel cold at all. All he could think about was Jishuichuan.
Ji Shuichuan suddenly looked so embarrassed. What was the reason for?
Tian Chunda only thought of one possibility.
That's when Ji Shuichuan realized that he had said the wrong thing.
If Ji Shuichuan was convinced that the incident was a suicide, even though there was evidence to prove that it was not a suicide, he would not feel scared or nervous. The reason why he was so nervous must be that he knew that the incident was not a suicide.
In other words, because there is evidence to prove that it was a murder, that's why Ji Shuichuan was so nervous. Judging from the fact that he told a very bad lie, it increases the possibility that the incident was a murder.
What was it about Ji Shuichuan's conversation that made him feel so nervous? Tian Chunda was walking in the light rain, thinking deeply.
In their conversation, the first thing they talked about was the exhibition. Since Yoshimizu denied it, it would not make him feel embarrassed. Next, they talked about the different personalities of Tajima and Guan Lin. What made Yoshimizu nervous? ?
Tian Chunda's face became more and more solemn. He was holding a cigarette in his mouth as he walked and forgot to light it.
The things that made Ji Shuichuan feel nervous should not obviously affect the whole incident. If it did, Ji Shuichuan would have noticed it before the conversation. After the conversation, he discovered that it was obviously a small detail. Although it was a small detail, it was Could indicate possible homicide.
Where does it relate to that incident? Will this be the beginning of events? Although that incident contributed to the discord between Tajima and his wife and affected Tajima's temperament, it cannot be used as evidence of the murder. It can only increase the possibility that Tajima's willfulness will lead to forced suicide.
If not at the beginning, then in the progress of events? Tian Chunda remembered the issue of potassium cyanate. The owner of the health pharmacy indeed said this:
Because Mr. Tajima said that it was necessary to use potassium cyanate to increase the gloss of the painting, I sold him the potassium cyanate.
However, it is also possible that the potassium cyanate was sold to Tajima because he was threatened or bribed, and the reason to increase the gloss of the painting was probably Tajima's idea for him.
"But..." Tian Chunda shook his head in confusion. Yoshimizukawa said that Tajima did not understand the characteristics of pigments and solvents, and he did not lack knowledge in this area. If it is true as Yoshimizukawa said, isn't it a bit contradictory and contradictory to each other?
Tian Chunda stopped and lit his cigarette.
Ji Shuichuan wouldn't be so nervous just because he noticed this, right?
If potassium cyanate is a trick, if it can be found out that it is related to Guan Lin, the credibility of the murder will be greatly increased, and the accuracy of Guan Lin as the murderer will also be greatly improved.
Maybe there was a trick in the potassium cyanate incident.
However, if there is a trick, Tian Chunda's reasoning is on the rocks, because there is indeed Tajima's autograph on the list of highly toxic drug buyers. Hong Limin also saw Tajima enter the health pharmacy with her own eyes. She said in her diary that Tajima When entering the pharmacy, I looked around uneasily. This is the mentality when buying poison.
"The person who got the potassium cyanate at the health pharmacy must be Tajima." Tian Chunda concluded, "However, the reason for increasing the gloss of the painting has nothing to do with Tajima. The person who would say such a thing should be Guan Lin.”
On the surface, these two ideas seem to be unable to connect together, but maybe there is a connection somewhere. If there is a connection, maybe the barrier in front of Tian Chunta will collapse.
Tian Chunda finally felt a little cold from the rain.
Two days later, Tian Cunda returned home, and his wife Wen Qing, who was accustomed to this irregular life, came out to greet him.
As soon as Tian Chunda entered the room, he immediately sat in front of the heater.
"It started to rain." Tian Chunda said.
"No wonder it's so cold." Wen Qing put a cotton robe on her husband's shoulders and nodded as she said, "Have you eaten yet?"
"I've eaten outside. Where is the child?"
"I've gone to bed, it's past eleven now."
"Eleven o'clock..." Tian Chunda smiled bitterly.
Tian Chunda smoked a cigarette. "Wen Qing," Tian Chunda called. "What would you do if I was out there flirting with women?"
