Chapter 186: The Muddy Pit of Art
The president of the Morishima Museum of Art was interviewed by the Metropolitan Police Department on suspicion of insurance fraud.
But this restriction of freedom should not last long, because there is no crucial evidence.
The Metropolitan Police Department is unlikely to hold him for long, and Morishima will soon find his lawyer and release him on bail.
"Can we get the insurance company to sue him? That might buy some time. ”
"I'll try to get in touch, but don't get your hopes up at them, my friend just sent me some information, and Morishima has some people he knows in the procuratorate, and he is also used to using counter-accusations to accuse and frame him."
"That is, the insurance company may not take the risk of suing without conclusive evidence?"
"That's right."
“……”
"Seriously, this irresponsible party, if I can decide, I will turn this job away."
"Haha, I agree with you."
"Forget it, let's go, senior, there's not much time."
The two of them talked, preparing to leave the Morishima Museum of Art to investigate the address on paper.
But......
"Haskar ......"
Su Qiren was stunned.
"Haskar ......"
An eerie whisper suddenly rang in his ears.
It's not from any direction around, it's like it's coming from ...... Himself, his body, his deep sea......
"Hasta!"
Su Qi's mind was shocked, as if he felt something, and looked in one direction.
It was a young man with a white cat in his arms.
Standing in the Hong Kong painting that Mr. Andersen told him just now.
Su Qi frowned, and the strange whisper in his ear disappeared.
"What's wrong?"
Ueno-senpai asked.
"I didn't ...... Let's go. ”
Su Qi didn't know what was going on, where did the whisper just now come from? What does "Hasta" mean?
Don't go too far to find out......
Su Qi's intuition was a little wrong, and he didn't dare to snoop anymore for a while, his current deep sea was not stable, and he had to make less dangerous attempts.
"Let's go, hurry."
Su Qi pulled his collar, took a deep look at the young man's back, and turned to leave with Ueno's senior.
And when Su Qi left, he didn't know.
Li Fushui, a young man holding a white cat, also turned his head to look at the place where he had just stopped, and said in his mouth:
"Strange, what does this mean......"
In his ears rang a whisper that only he could hear.
"Lalleye...... ...... Lalaye"
……
Taito-ku, Ueno.
The Morishima Museum of Art is located in Bunkyo Ward, and it is not far from the predecessor to drive here, but when it comes to Tokyo's Taito Ward, there is a place that has to be mentioned.
Oriental Arts University.
Tokyo's top national art university, which is almost on a par with the University of Tokyo, has produced quite a few famous painters, composers, and architects......
It is the leading institution of the art scene in Tokyo.
During the day, you can occasionally see students picking up the wind in Ueno Park, and at night there are romantic singers with loudspeaker guitars, and there are many art models in the commercial shopping streets.
These are the first prizes of the annual "Art Festival", which will be bought by the shopping street as an exhibition.
This is the "egg room of Tokyo's art scene".
……
Su Qi and the others found a handicraft shop according to the address given by Hans Christian Andersen.
The shop is full of various ceramic sculptures and paintings.
Under each piece, the price ranges from thousands to tens of thousands of yen, and according to the cost of materials, hundreds of yuan.
Of course, these things are not like the ones I just saw at the Morishima Museum of Art, they are not collectible, and they are not sold as "works of art", but as "decorations".
Naturally, it is not sold according to "art", but the cost of materials and labor to be sold.
Oil paintings are rich in color and use more pigments, and pottery is more expensive, hmm......
Or else? In the eyes of half the world, the same thing, the small one uses less material, so it should not be more expensive than the big one, which is the easiest logic to understand.
They don't pay attention to the fact that behind the finished product, it is the work of an apprentice who spent three minutes casually, or a master who has devoted decades of life to this field, accumulated experience, experience, and technology.
The uncultivated nature of human beings is always to think about industrial products more than works of art.
The former is the cornerstone of the seed, and the latter is the flowering and fruiting.
Just as we can easily use science and technology to reproduce and mass-produce the Mona Lisa now, but that smile is a miracle that can only be born with the thinking and precipitation of each brush stroke when da Vinci's brush is depicted.
……
"Welcome, what do you need?"
There is an uncle with a beard in the craft shop who looks like the owner.
On the window table, there is a pastime book of "The Last Secret Place: Tokyo University of Arts", an interview documentary work of the famous horror light author Atsushi Ninomiya, and now the world, the story meeting made up by consulting a few questions casually, can be called an interview documentary.
"Do you sell imitation paintings here?"
Su Qi asked.
"Basically, you can book, what level do you need? Low imitation or high imitation? ”
The shopkeeper glanced at what the two were wearing.
"The low imitation can generally be painted in three days, and the decoration is not bad at home."
"Do you usually have a lot of people customizing?"
The senior asked.
"Not much, but there are, if there are no stingy people in this world, and vanity, who want to be vassals and pretend to be elegant, and pretend that they have good taste, our business will not be done."
"How about high imitation quality?"
"If you want to be assured of high imitation quality, they are all purely artificial, and our painters are all from Dongyi University next door, so you can't find a second one in Tokyo with better quality than ours."
"A student at the University of Oriental Arts? Painting imitations at your craft shop? ”
Dongyi University came out to paint imitations, which is not good to say, just like Dongda came out to be an assembly line worker, and it was a violent thing.
"Artists also have to eat, and not everyone is so lucky to become a famous master in the industry."
The shopkeeper wiped down the glass windows.
"Learning art is spring and snow, and making money with art is to roll in the mud pit."
“……”
"Do you buy paintings or not?"
"You don't seem to have the painting we want."
"What do you want?"
"We need the most professional imitations."
"We're professional."
"I mean, the kind that can fool professional agencies."
Su Qi directly said what he meant.
“……”
The store manager frowned.
"Who recommended you?"
"Masayuki Morishima, the president of the Morishima Museum of Art, you should know that there is a ...... of "Dance of the Witches"
"You don't look like people from the Metropolitan Police Department......"
The shopkeeper sensed that something was wrong, but before he could react, Su Qi grabbed his arm to prevent him from escaping.
"We are a law firm, and Masayuki Morishima is now facing fraud prosecution, and if you are an accomplice and abscond, the consequences are serious."
