Chapter 16: A Difficult Woman
"Hello, is this the Asai Gallery?"
"Hmm, hi! are you ......?"
"Ah...... We are friends of Mr. Asai, and we have come to visit him today. ”
"I'm sorry, but Mr. President is ...... abroad right now So, if it's convenient, can the two gentlemen leave their contact information, and when the president comes back, we will definitely convey it on their behalf. ”
"Abroad?"
Hearing the reply given to him by the reception lady at the front desk, Lin Xiuyi and Yuan Zhizhu couldn't help but glance at each other with some confusion.
"Are you really sure that the president of your company is abroad now?"
"Hmm...... ...... a few days ago"
"I'm sorry, can you excuse me......"
Just when Lin Shuichi and Gen Zhizhu were standing at the reception desk of the Asai Gallery in confusion, repeatedly confirming the whereabouts of Asai Koichi to the staff here, a lady's voice suddenly came from behind them.
"Excuse me...... I'm sorry, but I'm afraid I won't be able to receive you when he's abroad, so if there's anything, I'll answer the question for you. ”
"This is our artistic director, Ms. Furuzawa!"
Seeing this, the receptionist lady hurriedly introduced Lin Xiuyi and Yuan Zhizhu.
Seeing Lin Xiuyi and Yuan Zhizhu turning their eyes to herself, Ms. Gu Ze hurriedly lowered her head and saluted the two, and after Lin Xiuyi and Yuan Zhizhu returned the salute, Ms. Gu Ze stepped forward and said to the two elegantly.
"Excuse me, are these two gentlemen friends with President Asai? I guess I haven't seen them before......
As she spoke, Ms. Gu Ze took out her business card and handed it to Lin Xiuyi and Yuan Zhizhu respectively. After the two took the business card, they also quickly took out their business card from their pockets and handed it to Ms. Gu Ze.
"Is the two gentlemen police?"
Ms. Guzawa asked with some surprise.
"Hey, but we're also friends with President Asai, and we're here today to visit President Asai in a private capacity. ”
Lin Xiuyi explained to Ms. Gu Ze with a smile, and then looked the lady up and down with his eyes.
Ms. Furuzawa was about thirty years old and looked like a mature woman, with her hair gracefully coiled on her head, red metal glasses on her eyes, and a high nose bridge and eyebrow bones that showed that she was distinctly of European ancestry. And a decent professional outfit brings out Ms. Guze's graceful figure. All in all, this is a woman who seems to be quite mature and intellectually attractive.
"Since you're a friend of Mr. Asai, please come in and sit down!"
Ms. Gu Ze heard Lin Xiuyi's words, and still greeted the two with a smile on her face. Then he took the two back to his office.
After the subordinates served hot tea to the three of them, Lin Xiuyi and Yuan Zhizhu made eye contact, and then asked Ms. Gu Ze straight to the point.
"You just said that Mr. Asai is currently abroad, may I ask...... Where the hell did Mr. Asai go?"
"Ah...... Mr. Asai is currently in Switzerland and is negotiating business with a collector there. We talked on the phone together last night? Why, have the two gentlemen been unable to contact Mr. Asai? I think it's probably because of the jet lag!"
Ms. Gu Ze explained to Lin Xiuyi disapprehantly.
Faced with Ms. Gu Ze's statement, Lin Xiuyi did not ask in person. Instead, he asked about the "Love Letter."
"Excuse me, Ms. Furuzawa, do you still have an impression of Mr. Asai's latest "Love Letter"?"
"Hmm...... I know that this painting seems to be a portrait that Mr. Asai recently acquired. What's wrong, what's wrong?"
Ms. Furuzawa asked disapprehantly.
"I've heard that all the previous collectors of this work have suffered misfortunes, and we would like to ask, is this true?"
Gen Zhizhu suddenly took over the topic and asked Ms. Furuzawa.
"Is that? not for me to know. I've heard some legends about this work, but isn't it the job of Mr. Policeman to determine whether these rumors are true or not?"
Ms. Furusawa asked Gen Zhizhu unceremoniously, and at the same time also deftly avoided the question.
Lin Xiuyi carefully looked at the woman who was sitting in front of him and talking eloquently. It doesn't seem like he's worried about Koichi Asai's current situation. However, Lin Xiuyi still wanted to try it, since she said that Asai Gong was in Switzerland alone, then just let her prove it.
"That...... How can we get in touch with Mr. Asai? This colleague of mine has been a friend of Mr. Asai for many years, and since we haven't seen each other for a long time, can I ask Mr. Asai to call this colleague of mine?"
"Well, huh...... It's not impossible, but I think this gentleman will probably have to wait for a while, because Mr. Asai seems to be talking about an important business recently, and I specifically asked us not to disturb him too much, I think you, as friends of Mr. Asai, should be able to understand Mr. Asai's situation!"
As soon as Lin Xiu found out that Gu Ze was really a powerful character, he easily rejected his proposal tactfully. At this moment, if Lin Xiuyi and Yuan Zhizhu were asking for anything, they would not seem to be friends enough.
"In that case, then we will leave first, thank you for your hospitality, Ms. Guze, if you need anything, you can say that you can always use the phone number on your business card to contact us!"
Seeing that Ye Wen couldn't come up with anything after staying here. So Lin Xiuyi and Yuan Zhizhu took the initiative to say goodbye. Seeing that the two were about to leave, Ms. Guze hurriedly got up to see them off.
When Lin Xiuyi and Yuan Zhizhu took the elevator to the downstairs lobby, Yuan Zhizhu quietly said to Lin Xiuyi:
"I see, that woman named Gu Ze is very problematic, she has been prevaricating our questions just now!"
"Well, so far, that's true! But I was more concerned about one thing, and that was that when I asked if I could ask Mr. Asai to contact you, there was no panic on his face, so I was thinking that if this woman really knew Mr. Asai's whereabouts, then Mr. Asai should not have any accidents. Instead, I'm worried that if we push this woman too hard, will it have a bad impact on Mr. Asai's situation?"
"That's right, but ...... This woman claims that Asai-kun is abroad, so it doesn't seem strange that we can't reach him!"
"This question is also very simple, we just need to check Mr. Asai's exit records!"
Lin Xiuyi replied disapprehantly.
