A few days later......

Lin Xiuyi drove his car alone on the mountain road leading to Xiwuzhuang, and at the same time, he kept supporting his forehead with his hands, showing a weak look.

Since he accidentally fell into the sea last time, Lin Xiuyi really fell seriously ill again. First, he had a high fever, and then he finally recovered, and he recuperated at home for a few days. It wasn't until yesterday that Gen Zhizhu called to ask him if he wanted to attend a small art exhibition held by Koichi Asai, the owner of Yuki Mountain Villa, that Lin Xiuyi remembered about it.

Strange to say, when they first came to Xiwu Villa, Lin Xiuyi and Gen Zhizhu thought that the owner of the place, Mr. Asai, had been kidnapped, but later, as the incident developed, Lin Xiuyi's investigation focused on three accidents related to the painting "Love Letter", and it was these three incidents that completely made the murderous reputation of "Love Letter" resounding throughout the collecting world.

"Ahh

Lin Xiu held the steering wheel with one hand, and suddenly saw a little rain floating on the car window, he looked up at the sky through his car window, but found that the sky was gloomy, and it seemed that a rainstorm was brewing.

"It won't be so unlucky!"

Lin Xiuyi sighed secretly, and then increased the throttle to increase the speed of the car a little. If there is heavy rain on the mountain road, it can be really dangerous.

The cold autumn rain fell suddenly, and suddenly the temperature in the mountain dropped a little, Lin Xiuyi, who had just recovered from a serious illness, couldn't help but sneeze a few more, and he hurriedly turned on the heating in the car after feeling bad, hoping that he would not get sick again, but fortunately, he could now see the magnificent building on the mountainside.

When Lin Xiuyi drove the car into the gate of Xiwu Villa, he saw that the internal road, which seemed a little empty when he came last time, was actually full of all kinds of luxury cars at this time, and it looked like a luxury car show.

"Officer Lin!"

When Lin Xiuyi stepped out of the car, he raised his eyes and saw Mr. Shibata, the housekeeper here.

"Mr. Shibata, am I late!"

"Ah...... No, you came just in time, the guests are now in the lobby on the first floor, and Mr. Gen has already entered!"

"Oh...... That's good!"

Lin Xiuyi nodded to Mr. Housekeeper after speaking, and then walked towards the house step by step on the damp stone road. When he walked into the room, as soon as he pushed the door open, many of the guests in the room looked at him in unison.

"Xiu Yijun, why did you come so late?"

"I'm sorry, Inspector, there was a heavy rain on the road, so there was some delay, but fortunately I wasn't late!"

"Zhizhu-kun, this gentleman is ......"

"Ah...... Senior Asai, this is the elite of the Metropolitan Police Department that I mentioned to you, Shuichi Hayashi, this is the owner of this place, Mr. Asai, and he is also my senior senior in college......"

Lin Xiuyi looked at the middle-aged man with an extraordinary temperament in front of him, who was about forty years old, and looked like he had an extraordinary temperament. He was wearing a set of elegant dresses, and a silk bow tie was tied around his neck, if it wasn't for Yuan Zhizhu's initiative to introduce him, Lin Xiuyi would definitely think that the person standing in front of him was an official with an elegant temperament.

"Mr. Asai, thank you for your invitation, I really appreciate it, and I would like to ask for your advice when we meet for the first time!"

"Officer Lin, thank you and Zhizhujun for your relationship with me, and for your hard work in the days I left, that ...... Would you like to have something first, there are some pre-dinner aperitifs over there......"

Koichi Asai said as he greeted Lin Xiuyi.

Asai Gong greeted Lin Xiu a few words, and then left under the pretext. Lin Xiuyi and Yuan Zhizhu stood together, carefully looking at the guests who participated in this gathering.

After all, this is the first time Lin Xiuyi has participated in such a private event in the name of art. Last time, the living room with the sofa was cleaned up and turned into a small art exhibition hall, and the walls were covered with some works that Lin Xiuyi had not seen last time, and in the lower right corner of these works were marked with basic information such as the author, the age of creation, and the background of creation.

"Does the Ombudsman often attend similar events?"

"Not often, but occasionally I get similar invitations. The main purpose of this private exhibition is to provide an opportunity for collectors to communicate with each other, and if anyone has a view of a work here, they can slowly negotiate with the owner of the exhibition, either for money or for their own works in exchange for their favorite works. ”

Yuan Zhizhu covered his tongue and leaned into Lin Xiuyi's ear and explained to him in a whisper. Lin Xiuyi nodded clearly, and then he followed Lin Xiuyi's side and slowly visited the paintings in the living room.

These guests in the hall gathered in groups of three and two, talking to each other about some issues that Lin Xiuyi didn't understand. Many of these guests were foreigners, which made Lin Xiu feel a little surprised, but thinking that this party was related to Western paintings, Lin Xiuyi also understood.

Lin Xiuyi and Yuan Zhizhu circled around the living room, and soon discovered the "Love Letter" that they had been investigating these days, and when Lin Xiuyi saw that the author and the year of creation in the lower right corner were marked as unknown, suddenly, a woman's voice came from behind.

"Officer Yuan, Officer Lin, don't come unharmed!"

Lin Xiuyi and Gen Zhizhu hurriedly turned around, only to find that behind them was indeed the artistic director of Asai Gallery, Ms. Furuzawa.

"Ms. Furuzawa, don't come here unharmed, are you also here to assist President Asai in entertaining guests?"

"Hmm...... These guests were all collectors invited by President Asai from Europe, and since they were all distinguished guests from afar, and I knew a little bit of French and German, Mr. President brought me here. How's that, gentlemen, do you need anything to do for you?"

Ms. Gu Ze asked Lin Xiuyi and Yuan Zhizhu with a smile.

"Ah...... You're being so polite, we're looking at this painting, and the woman in the painting is really elusive!"

"Oh...... Then I'm going to ask what kind of elusive one it is?"

"At first glance, the woman in the painting looks like an angel, but on closer inspection, especially the intriguing smile, there is a hint of evil, and I really don't know what the author is trying to express......"

"Oh...... It seems that Mr. Lin also has a unique opinion on this work!"

"But then again, Lady Gurzawa, why are all the servants we saw last time we're here?"

Lin Xiuyi frowned, glanced at the hall and asked.
