Chapter 41: Detective Ren Shasha (II)

Rika Nomi asked, "Isn't it stolen goods?"

Lin Hai glanced at her and said, "Where did you get so many stolen goods?" In my opinion, it should have been forged by Yuki. ”

"Yuki?" It's strange to see Rika, isn't Yuki a victim? Even if it's a fake painting, it should be Yuki, right?

Lin Hai guessed her thoughts and said, "The victim may not be innocent. Of course, Hiroki is probably doing this out of economic pressure. My friend speculated that Hiroki was a student of Nikgei, and with this status, he had access to a large number of works of art that were rarely seen on the market, such as works that some painters had not made public. On this point, you can investigate Hiroki's interpersonal relationships, and I guess there are quite a few of his 'friends'......"

"We know that the most important thing for a painter is not the painting technique, but the creativity, and Hiroki uses his painting talent to keep these ideas for himself, which is equivalent to eliminating the link of ideation, and can concoct a large number of high-quality works in the shortest time. Yuki, on the other hand, took advantage of the poor management of the Kuritakawa Gallery to sell these forged works for a high return. ”

"You said those paintings were all faked by Hiroki?"

Ichiro Yasujima's eyes widened.

Lin Hai asked rhetorically, "You don't really think that those paintings are stolen goods, do you?"

"I really thought ......" Ichiro Azushima sighed halfway through his speech: "He has such talent, why did he have to plagiarize other people's works, he could have a better future......"

Listening to his tone, he felt sorry for Yuki.

Lin Hai said lightly: "It can only be said that everyone's pursuit is different." ”

He didn't know what kind of mental journey the Sagara brothers had, so maybe they had to suffer.

However, this is not a reason for them to make and sell counterfeits.

Among the four major entertainment systems of literature, music, performance and fine arts, it is the most difficult for painters, especially traditional painters, to get ahead. Don't think how miserable Van Gogh was, there are many excellent painters who are unknown after his death.

Life is already so hard, you have to steal people's money......

Lin Hai felt that Yuki died unjustly.

"That's not right. Arika Nomi asked, "You said that Yuki killed Hiroki for money, but Hiroki is dead, isn't this chain of counterfeiting and selling fakes broken?"

Lin Hai glanced at Rika strangely, and didn't understand why this ice beauty suddenly talked too much.

But she did raise the key question.

Lin Hai said unhurriedly: "What if Yuki suddenly doesn't want to do it?"

"Why?"

"I don't want to be at the mercy of my brother anymore, or I have found a way to get money faster. Anyway, this is going to ask Mr. Wada, you say yes?"

Lin Hai said and looked at Yoshihiko Wada.

"What do you mean, why don't I understand?"

"Hiroki Sagara is your student, right?"

"What's the matter, because I take him so seriously, I didn't expect him to plagiarize other people's works, if I had known about it......"

Yoshihiko Wada said indignantly.

"You already knew, otherwise how would you rent a house to him?"

"I warn you, you talk nonsense again......"

"Let him finish!"

Rika said suddenly dissatisfied, this was the first time she had carried emotions in her tone.

Yoshihiko Wada snorted and shut his mouth.

Lin Hai walked up to Yoshihiko Wada and said a word, and Yoshihiko Wada's face suddenly changed after hearing it.

Not only did his face change, but so did Ichiro Yasujima, the director of the Kurikawa Gallery.

Rika noticed the change in the faces of the two of them, and asked Lin Hai, "What did you say to him?"

Lin Hai replied: "I told him that I knew that he and the manager of Andao had known each other for a long time. ”

"How do you know?"

"This is to blame on Mr. Wada's own carelessness. On the way to drive us over, he called the manager of Anjima, who thought I didn't understand, but didn't know that I also happened to know Italian. ”

Lin Hai had the intention to show off, but he could see that Rika was puzzled, and the ice beauty asked bluntly, "What did they say?"

"Didn't say anything. Lin Hai said with a smile: "Mr. Wada asked the manager of Anjima to help him prepare the studio, saying that he would bring a painting of Akira Kurosawa over, but he learned that this painting was handed over to the police by Mr. Wada, so he scolded him." ”

Lin Hai turned to Yoshihiko Wada again and asked, "Mr. Wada, can you tell me why you asked him to prepare the studio?"

"I've always liked to look at paintings in the studio, what's wrong?"

"Since you don't want to say it, then I'll say it for you. ”

Lin Hai didn't want to go around in circles with him anymore, so he said directly: "Your purpose is to drop the painting in my hand." ”

"Ridiculous!"

Yoshihiko Wada said angrily: "You are slandering!"

"You and the manager of Anjima have known each other for a long time, and I'm afraid it's not the first time I've done this kind of thing, if the Sagara brothers are small shrimp that make and sell fakes, you are the real big fish...... It's not that you two are ignorant of what the Sagara brothers are doing, on the contrary, you have provided them with considerable convenience, in order to push them out as a shield at a critical moment......"

"Manager Anjima, you just pretended to be pitiful, and you must be very proud. Do you think that as long as you push the responsibility on Yuki, you will be at most derelict in your duties, and at most you will lose your job, and with the help of Mr. Wada, you will be able to make a comeback in a few days...... Do you really think you're going to get away with it?"

Ichiro Asujima's eyes flickered, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Lin Hai then turned to Yoshihiko Wada.

"And you, Mr. Wada. You probably trained Hiroki as an assistant, but you didn't expect him to want to blackmail you in turn, so you killed him. ”

"You talk nonsense!"

Lin Hai continued to speak as if he couldn't hear Yoshihiko Wada's roar.

"Let me guess again, under the joint inducement of you, the manager of Anjima, and the administrator Kenzaburo Nakamura, Yuki thought that his younger brother was going to part ways with him, so he moved to kill. Of course, it is not excluded that he knows more, but he made this choice under the temptation of interests......"

"That's enough! You're all speculating, there's no evidence at all! Ah, I see, someone must have asked you to do this! Who is it? Who told you to splash dirty water on me? You name it!"

Yoshihiko Wada's eyes were red, like a beast that chose people to devour.

Lin Hai quietly took two steps to Nomi Rika's side, and sneered: "Do you still need to splash dirty water on your body? In my opinion, you stink from the inside out!"

"What evidence do you have? Police, criminal, do you just let him lie his word?"

Daejeon looked at the cough and said, "Lin Jun, please pay attention to your remarks, and if you have evidence, please come up with it as soon as possible." ”

"I don't have evidence, I said it, it's all reasoning, and the truth is still pending police investigation. ”

"What else do you say without proof? Boy, I remember you! No matter who's standing behind you, you're finished!"

Yoshihiko Wada gritted his teeth and said cruel words, but Lin Hai could see that when he heard "there is no evidence", his hideous expression obviously showed some signs of relaxation.

Lin Hai shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's hard to say whether I'll be finished, but you must be finished." ”

"At this time, you are still stubborn, you wait to receive the summons......"

Before Yoshihiko Wada finished speaking, Lin Hai suddenly whispered something.

Yoshihiko Wada's expression froze instantly, his mouth opened wide, and he pointed at Lin Hai with his finger, and he couldn't even speak for a while.

"What did you say?" asked Rika Arumi, "Italian again?"

"yes. I'm talking about a person's name. ”

Lin Hai looked at Yoshihiko Wada condescendingly and said, "Alberto Sugi (Alberto Sugi) Sughi), Mr. Wada is no stranger to this person, right?"

"How do you know?!" Yoshihiko Wada asked in a panic as he never lost his previous arrogance.

"If no one knows, he must not do it. Oh, by the way, a couple of other friends of mine also found a few paintings in the other bed, and although they don't know art, the signature you left on it is in English, so it's not hard to tell. I wonder why Alberto's painting has your signature on it?"

"How could it be ......," Yoshihiko Wada muttered.

"How can you say that it is possible to hide there?" Lin Hai sneered, "Don't you know that the most dangerous place is the safest place?"

"I, I ......"

"Speaking of which, if you had come back from Hokkaido earlier, you would probably have had the opportunity to check the room in advance, but who knew that the real estate agent was so active that he actually rented out the house in advance. Unexpectedly, your perfect alibi has become the biggest loophole. ”

"...... you," Yoshihiko Wada asked in a bitter voice, "When did you start doubting me?"

"Do you remember when we first met?"

Lin Hai's words were not only asking Yoshihiko Wada, but also reminding Rika to be able to see it.

"The reason why you rushed to the apartment was because Kenzaburo Nakamura reported to you. Maybe you're already nearby, and even if my paintings weren't stolen, you're ready to look for an opportunity to evict the tenants...... When you and Kenzaburo Nakamura first entered the door, they were nervous, but after testing, it turned out that she (Rika Mimi) was not here for Hiroki's suicide, and her subsequent behavior was too relaxed......"

Rika Nomi thought about it for a moment and said, "He did come a little faster." ”

Lin Haidao: "Do you remember what Kenzaburo Nakamura said? He said: 'It is impossible for a thief to come in, and even if he does, it is impossible for us to find out.' I've noticed that there is only one caretaker in Nakamura, who are the 'we' referring to?

Rika Nomi asked, "Have you even noticed these details?"

"Remind you again, it's my friend who noticed, you know, girls' hearts are more delicate, especially for a man like Mr. Wada, it is inevitable to pay more attention. ”

After Lin Hai finished talking to Rika Nomi, he asked Yoshihiko Wada with a smile: "You said that the secret to staying young is art, are you sure that after losing fame and fortune, can you still maintain such a mentality?"

Hearing this, Yoshihiko Wada couldn't hold on any longer, and his body fell to his knees.

……

Now anyone with a discerning eye knows that Yoshihiko Wada has a problem.

Daejeon looked at Lin Hai and said, "You still haven't explained, what does that one named Aberto have to do with this case?"

"It's Alberto Sugi, who is the president of the Italian Painters' Association......"

……

Alberto Sugi was president of the Italian Painters' Association and a well-known painter, although his work was largely confined to Italy.

Yoshihiko Wada studied in Italy as a young man, and during his time there, he met Sugi, who has since visited Sugi's studio every year and has taken a lot of photographs. And Sugi received Yoshihiko Wada warmly every time, thinking that the other party was an avid fan of his.

In fact, the reason why Yoshihiko Wada travels thousands of miles to visit year after year is just to plagiarize the other party's work.

In his opinion, Su Ji, a painter with a very high level and a very low circulation range, is simply a fat sheep sent to his mouth!

Copy, why not!

Although there is no conclusive evidence, Lin Hai speculates that Hiroki's death was because he discovered Yoshihiko Wada's plagiarism and tried to use it as a threat, but he was killed.

Now, Fang Zhendong's discovery also confirms this.

After hearing this, Rika said to Yoshihiko Wada and Ichiro Yasushima, "Both, please come with me." ”

After expressing his gratitude, Ota also hurried away, arranging for someone to "invite" Kenzaburo Nakamura over, and also reporting to his superiors to deal with the coming storm.

After all, Yoshihiko Wada is a big man in the cultural world, and if there is such a scandal, the Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, and Culture will be alarmed!
