"Police Department, the matter you entrusted me to investigate about Koichi Asai's exit record has been decided, he should still be in Japan, but if it is smuggling, there is nothing we can do!"

On the phone, Huaxing cautiously reported to Lin Xiuyi that because Lin Xiuyi's special search department was still on vacation, Lin Xiuyi had entrusted his past subordinate Huaxing to investigate on his behalf.

"Well, thank you, Hanagata-kun!"

"You're welcome, if you need anything, please feel free to contact me!"

……

When Lin Xiuyi put down the phone in his hand, he immediately shook his head at Gen Zhizhu, indicating that Asai Koichi had not left Japan, and Gen Zhizhu saw Lin Xiuyi's response, but he was not surprised by this result.

"A business trip in Switzerland or something, it's really a pretext!"

"At present, it seems that this is indeed the case! Then the only clue we have in our hands now is the gallery called the Rose Palace!"

"Hmm...... It looks like it's almost there!"

As he spoke, he turned the car left and drove into the side of the road, and then after passing a series of high-rise buildings, he suddenly saw an open green space in front of him.

"It's really surprising to see such a scene in Akasaka, where every inch of land is at a premium!"

Lin Xiuyi looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't help but say with some emotion. Seeing the scenery in front of him, which covers a large area and is similar to a park, Lin Xiuyi couldn't help but say with some feelings.

Although Lin Xiuyi is not very familiar with real estate, he basically knows that if he wants to get the most benefits in Akasaka, where every inch of land is valuable, high-rise buildings are the only choice. And the open field that appeared in front of him was obviously not able to make a profit from the land itself.

When the car drove into the center of the park, a strange house appeared in front of me, as if it was a cube stuck in a quagmire, with only a sharp corner sticking out of the ground. The exterior of the building is an unadorned fair-faced concrete wall. If it weren't for the Rose Banner fluttering outside and the name of the Rose Palace written on the door number at the entrance, Lin Xiuyi was really not sure that he had found the right place.

"Fair-faced concrete, it's really a big deal, and it's likely to be designed by the architectural designer Tadao Ando!"

Hearing Yuan Zhizhu's admiring words standing in front of the door, Lin Xiuyi couldn't help but turn his head and looked at Yuan Zhizhu with some surprise.

"Hmm...... What's the matter, Xiu Yijun?"

"Mr. Inspector is really knowledgeable, you can tell who the designer here is at a glance?"

Lin Xiuyi said to Yuan Zhizhu with admiration.

"There, I just saw the style of fair-faced concrete, after all, fair-faced concrete is a characteristic of the architect Tadao Ando, whose famous work 'Sumiyoshi's longhouse' is made of fair-faced concrete...... It's a design classic in the world of architecture now......"

"In this way, the Rose Palace is really a powerful gallery! The value of this piece of land in Akasaka alone is only an astronomical amount!"

Lin Xiuyi said to Yuan Zhizhu with some emotion.

"Xiu Yijun, art can't be measured by money!"

Yuan Zhizhu replied to Lin Xiuyi with a smile, and it could be seen that he was just joking.

……

Lin Xiuyi and Yuan Zhizhu stopped in front of the door for a while, and then walked into this famous art collection together.

After the two entered through the door, they went down the stairs to the basement floor. Oddly enough, most of the building is underground. The interior walls are also made of fair-faced concrete, making it look like an unfinished building.

"I'm sorry, but are you two gentlemen coming to Akasaka Rose Palace for the first time?"

Just when Lin Xiuyi and Yuan Zhizhu were about to take a look around first, a well-dressed lady suddenly stepped forward and asked the two.

"Yes, but we made an appointment with Mr. Nishikawa, the curator here, yesterday to visit us!"

"Hmm, are the two gentlemen guests of Director Nishikawa? It's really disrespectful, so please come with me here, Director Nishikawa has been waiting in the office for a long time!"

The lady who took the initiative to ask said and walked towards the depths of the exhibition hall with Lin Xiuyi and Yuan Zhizhu. It wasn't until they reached the end of the gallery that the lady pulled out another pass and took them to the work area of the museum.

As soon as he entered the door, Lin Xiuyi saw a security guard guarding here, and after taking the pass card handed by the security officer and pinning it to the pocket of his suit, the two were allowed to continue walking.

"Excuse me...... Was the designer who designed this building Tadao Ando?"

Yes, we did entrust Master Anto's firm to design the building, but in order to incorporate more of the characteristics of modern Japanese architecture, we invited two more masters, Kisho Kurokawa and Kengo Kuma, to participate in the design. The lighting design here is the work of Kengo Kuma!"

Hearing the names of the bunch of builders that the other party said, Lin Xiuyi, who originally planned to learn and sell now, had to shut up. After all, if the other party really asks about something, with his level, he basically can't communicate with the other party.

In this way, everyone communicated all the way, and Lin Shuichi and Gen Zhizhu walked around the labyrinthine building for a while, and then they were finally brought to the office of the curator here, Takashi Nishikawa. After everyone exchanged business cards, the female subordinate just now served tea to the three of them and left.

"To be honest, I was a little surprised to receive a call from two police officers yesterday?

Hearing Director Nishikawa's question, Lin Xiuyi and Mr. Yuan Zhizhu glanced at each other, and then Lin Xiuyi took out a photo from his pocket and put it in front of Director Nishikawa.

"Excuse me, Mr. Curator, do you recognize this work?"

Curator Xichuan curiously picked up the photo from the table, he first recalled it, and then returned to Lin Xiuyi with certainty.

"If I remember correctly, this painting is probably the work of a domestic collector not long ago sold by the museum, and it seems to be called 'Love Letter'!"

"So, Director Nishikawa, have you ever heard about the curse of the work "Love Letter" before?"

Seeing that Director Nishikawa really remembered this work, Gen Zhizhu immediately asked Mr. Curator about the curse straight to the point.

"The curse of the Love Letter, it turns out that you are here to inquire about this matter!"
