"Believe it or not, I'll kill him right now, hurry up and hand over the painting!"

Morris roared at Lin Xiuyi with an impatient expression. Lin Xiuyi ignored him. From what he had just observed upstairs, it was Ms. Guze who played a decisive role among Mr. Morris and Ms. Guze. So Lin Xiu turned his gaze to Ms. Gu Ze.

"What a surprise, Lady Furuzawa, and although I had a premonition that another unfortunate event would happen because of that Love Letter, I didn't expect that all of this was planned by a woman like you......"

Lin Xiu said calmly to Ms. Gu Ze, he put his hands behind his back, and kept trying to repeat the call to the police. As long as the phone can be connected, the situation will naturally be greatly reversed.

"Oh, then...... Now I'd like to ask if the painting is in your hands?"

Ms. Gu Ze didn't have the patience to deal with Lin Xiu, and what she cared about most now was the whereabouts of that painting. So the first thing she had to do was to find out whose hand the painting was.

"The painting is now in the safe custody of my companion. If you want, you'd better do what I say, otherwise I won't give it to you......"

Lin Xiuyi responded resolutely to Ms. Gu Ze. When Ms. Gu Ze heard his words, she only smiled and didn't take Lin Xiuyi's threat to heart.

"Officer Lin, I think you'd better do what I say, after all, your friend is now in our hands, I don't think you want to just watch Mr. Asai die innocently in front of you......, right?

Ms. Gu Ze unceremoniously ordered Lin Xiuyi that she didn't believe that a policeman would watch her hostage being killed and be indifferent.

"Okay...... That painting...... I can leave it to you, but there's one thing I'd like to ask you about. What kind of charm does a ruined painting have that can make you feel so sick......"

"Haha...... Are you thinking about procrastinating? Or are you ......? Are you wondering if we're going to actually kill Asai?"

Ms. Gu Ze shook her head and smiled, Lin Xiuyi's little caution couldn't hide her eyes at all.

"Looks like I guessed right, that painting is really weird! Oh...... By the way, although I didn't know anything about art, I was curious enough to ask a friend about Western painting. I have heard that Western painting is based on sketching with a pencil and then using oil paint. Sometimes, because the creator's mind has changed, he will draw a completely different work directly on top of the work he has already drawn. ”

It is said that behind Leonardo da Vinci's classic "Mona Lisa's Smile", there are actually four completely different works. Leonardo da Vinci first created a sketch of the portrait directly on the board, then based on the sketch he created a "Portrait with a Pearl Hair Ornament", and then recreated a "Lisa Gradini" on that painting called "Lisa Lisa's Smile", which is very similar to "Mona Lisa's Smile". Eventually, Leonardo da Vinci created the Mona Lisa's Smile on the basis of Lisa Gradini, so I'm a little curious, what is behind the Love Letter?"

Hearing Lin Xiuyi's sudden remarks, Ms. Gu Ze and Mr. Morris's faces suddenly changed, and they couldn't help but show a trace of panic.

Seeing that his opponent suddenly showed a surprised expression, Lin Xiuyi immediately understood that he should have guessed correctly. As I just said, behind the mysterious "Love Letter", there is actually another work hidden.

"So, if my guess just now is really correct, it means that there is indeed an unknown work hidden behind that "Love Letter", what is it, it is really curious!"

"It doesn't hurt to tell you, it's Rembrandt...... It's a draft of a self-portrait by Rembrandt, but what can you do if you know this......"

Ms. Gu Ze quickly regained her composure, and although she was a little surprised that Lin Xiuyi guessed that there was actually another mystery behind the "Love Letter", she didn't think that it would pose any threat to her advantage.

"Oh...... It turned out to be Rembrandt's work...... No wonder you are so persistent. Forgive me for my ignorance of the value of such a work."

"Now that you know, I think I'll make it clearer that even if this work is traded on the black market, it will cost more than $30 million. But...... It's a portrait that is about to pass the stolen art retrospective period, and we can sell it on the market in a few more weeks. When the time comes, the price of this work will more than triple ......"

When she said this, the eyes of Ms. Guze and Mr. Morris could not help but show a hint of fanaticism. The reason why they are willing to tell Lin Xiuyi the truth is because they are worried that Lin Xiuyi will really destroy the work when he is angry, if Lin Xiuyi knows that the ruined "Love Letter" in his hand will be worth more than 100 million US dollars in a few weeks, can Lin Xiuyi still bear to destroy this painting?

"No wonder? No wonder you even kill people to get this painting...... Hundreds of millions of dollars, which is really an attractive amount of money! Then the legend that the curse of the work "Love Letter" must have something to do with the two of them!"

Lin Xiuyi quietly led the topic to the curse, since the other party was willing to talk to him more, he naturally wanted to find an opportunity to find out the hidden secrets.

"Hey, Officer Lin, why don't we make a deal, you hand over that work, and then we'll divide the money equally, this is a self-portrait of Rembrandt worth hundreds of millions of dollars, aren't you really tempted?"

"Oh...... You've even taken me into account, so...... What are you going to do with Mr. Asai?"

"He's just a self-righteous fellow, a self-proclaimed collector of Western paintings, but he doesn't even see Rembrandt's works under his nose. I think this fool is still killed...... Anyway, there is a mad murderer hidden in this mountain villa. I believe that with your help, Mr. Policeman, we can properly handle everything here, as long as we disguise the scene as if we have been robbed, after all, there are so many Western paintings here, it is inevitable that it will not be remembered by those who care......"

Ms. Gu Ze suddenly drew Lin Xiuyi with a kind attitude.
