Chapter 326: Portraiture
Kuroda Sakurako and Yamada Jun followed Yamada Xiong into the private room of the restaurant, Lin Muyan and Yamada Osamu were already in the private room, I don't know what the two were talking about, their expressions were very solemn.
"Father, Mr. Yamada." Osamu Yamada and Lin Muyan got up to greet Yamada Yu.
Yamada Xiong bowed slightly at Lin Muyan, and then looked at Yamada Osamu "You came early, I heard that you also went to the hospital today, how is your mother?" ”
"That's it, there's a caregiver over there." Osamu Yamada's tone sounded a little weak, and he looked up at Kuroda Sakurako beside Jun Yamada, but quickly withdrew his gaze and said indifferently, "Father, please take a seat." ”
After everyone took their seats, Kuroda Sakurako suddenly said, "President Lin, didn't your wife come?" ”
"Don't talk nonsense!" Jun Yamada glared at Sakurako Kuroda viciously, and lowered his voice to warn her, "Don't look at what kind of occasion this is, it's not a woman's turn to speak." ”
Yamada Jun's demeaning words about women made Osamu Yamada frown a little unpleasantly, but Osamu Yamada knew that if he intervened to help Sakurako Kuroda speak, it would only hurt Sakurako Kuroda more, so he lowered his head and drank water and endured it.
"I'm sorry." Kuroda Sakurako apologized apologetically.
"It's okay, my wife didn't come to Japan with me this time, I will bring her to Japan next time I have the opportunity to introduce you to Japan." Lin Muyan said calmly.
"Good. I also have a special gift for your wife, I hope she will like it. Kuroda Sakurako suddenly took out a gift bag from her side, there was a gift box inside, she took out the gift box and put it in front of Lin Muyan.
"Thank you." Lin Muyan thanked him politely, then opened the gift box and found that there was a portrait painting inside, and the person in the words was Xia Yiyi, a trace of surprise flashed in Lin Muyan's eyes, and there was a look of unknown meaning.
"Joon called me in the afternoon and said that you invited us to dinner, and I didn't know what gift to give to your wife, so I temporarily drew a portrait of your wife, and I drew it based on the appearance of your wife in my memory, I don't know if the painting is like it." Kuroda Sakurako said politely.
"It's very similar, thank you for the gift, my wife will love it." Lin Muyan re-closed the lid of the gift box, then put the gift box into the gift bag just now, and then said to Yamada Xiong: "Mr. Yamada, your daughter-in-law is very talented, and her painting level can be opened." ”
"Haha, it's the first time I've seen Sakurako's painting, I didn't expect it to be so powerful. Sakurako, you can help me paint a portrait another day. Yamada Yu laughed and said to Kuroda Sakurako.
"Yes." Sakurako Kuroda responded with a smile on her face.
"Father, Mr. Lin plans to go back tomorrow afternoon, I plan to go back to City A with him, my mother's condition has stabilized, and I can't keep leaving the branch there." Osamu Yamada said suddenly.
"Has President Lin's affairs been handled? Are you going back so soon? Yamada Xiong opened his mouth to ask, Lin Muyan only mentioned the natural gas transmission project to him in the afternoon, and now he suddenly said that he wanted to go back, no matter how he thought about it, he felt a little abnormal.
"yes, it's time to go back." Lin Muyan nodded and said, at this time, the waiter had already started to serve the food, and everyone seemed to have a tacit understanding and didn't say anything more.
Kuroda Sakurako raised her head, and her eyes happened to meet the opposite Yamada Osamu , but the two quickly looked away with a tacit understanding, as if nothing had happened, but this scene all fell in the eyes of Yamada Jun, Yamada Jun was very angry, but Yamada Xiong was here, and he temporarily suppressed the anger in his heart.
"President Lin, are you really interested in the natural gas transmission project you talked about in the afternoon?" During the banquet, Yamada Xiong opened his mouth and asked Lin Muyan, "If President Lin is interested in this project, has he cooperated with our Yamada Group, do you know how much profit this project brings?" A conservative estimate is that there are 20 billion. ”
"It's an attractive project, but it's also very risky, so I'm going to go back and think about it." Lin Muyan did not say it to death, but left a space for imagination.
Yamada Xiong nodded, did not continue the topic, but chatted with Lin Muyan, although there were five people at the whole table, but most of the time Yamada Xiong and Lin Muyan were chatting, occasionally Yamada Osamu would interject a few words, and Yamada Jun and Kuroda Sakurako were completely like impression people.
"I'll go out and make a call." Yamada Jun found an excuse to leave the private room, if he continued to stay here, he would definitely go crazy, he needed to go out for a cigarette to calm down.
Not long after Jun Yamada left the private room, Yamada Xiong wanted to go to the bathroom, but Kuroda Sakurako suddenly opened his mouth and asked Osamu Yamada to accompany him, so only Lin Muyan and Kuroda Sakurako were left in the entire private room.
"Where's my wife?" As soon as everyone left, Lin Muyan couldn't wait to ask Kuroda Sakurako.
"How do you know?" Kuroda Sakurako looked at Lin Muyan in surprise, although she originally knew and planned to tell Lin Muyan about Xia Yiyi's address.
"The picture you drew was the first time I saw my wife, but my wife didn't wear a necklace at the time, and the necklace you drew was not my wife's, so you can't just draw a necklace." Lin Muyan explained, in fact, the most important thing is that he recognized the necklace as Lin Muyu's, and when he watched the video of Xia Yiyi's disappearance, he remembered that Lin Muyu was wearing this necklace at that time.
Kuroda Sakurako suddenly realized, she just wanted to open her mouth to tell Lin Muyan where to find Xia Yiyi, when she suddenly heard someone open the door of the private room, so she changed her words and said: "I majored in fine arts in college, and I usually like to paint casually with a paintbrush, I hope your wife will not dislike it." ”
"No, you're very good." Lin Muyan was talking to Kuroda Sakurako when Jun Yamada walked in.
"May I make a small request that you give this painting to your wife when you go back and take a closer look at it, and I hope that you can give me some suggestions for my portrait when you get there." Sakurako Kuroda said with a smile, and then looked at Jun Yamada beside her.
Kuroda Sakurako's words didn't seem to be unusual, but Lin Muyan still noticed that her tone was a little different when she said it and took a closer look.
"Don't worry, I'll take a closer look at your painting with my family." Lin Muyan smiled and nodded.
After that, Osamu Yamada came back with Yamada Xiong, and after a three-hour dinner, Lin Muyan returned to the hotel with a gift from Sakurako Kuroda.
"And gifts?" Ji Yang saw Lin Muyan take out the gift box from the gift bag, and saw that Xia Yiyi's portrait was inside, and couldn't help asking, "Who painted this, how can you send the painting?" ”
"This was sent by Kuroda Sakurako, and she knows the whereabouts of Yiyi and Lin Muyu." Lin Muyan had already taken the portrait out of the frame when he spoke, and then looked at it carefully, but he didn't find any useful clues.
"She? How could she know Yiyi's whereabouts? Could it be that what she wanted to say to Osamu Yamada was to tell us Yiyi's whereabouts? Ji Yang's expression froze, and then he came over to study the painting with Lin Muyan, "You have been looking at this painting since you came back, is the clue in this painting?" ”
"Sakurako Kuroda was going to tell me her whereabouts, but when Yamada Jun came back, she never had a chance to say it, and just asked me to take a closer look at the painting. I think there should be some clues in the painting. Lin Muyan is still studying the painting.
"President, Ji Shao, is this a clue?" Mu Feng suddenly picked up the picture frame and asked Lin Muyan and Ji Yang, there was a string of Japanese on the side of the frame, because the imprint was very shallow, if you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't find this string of Japanese at all.
"Lao Lin, what does this mean?" Ji Yang and Mu Feng couldn't read Japanese, so Ji Yang asked Lin Muyan curiously.
Lin Muyan looked at the string of Japanese, his expression became more and more solemn, and suddenly said to Mu Feng: "Mu Feng, you find out the addresses of Jun Yamada and Sakurako Kuroda and give it to me." ”
"Okay." Mu Feng knew that Lin Muyan must have found something, so he immediately took the laptop and quickly found the addresses of Jun Yamada and Sakurako Kuroda.
Lin Muyan compared the two addresses and found that the house numbers of the two addresses were very close. Even Ji Yang and Mu Feng discovered this anomaly.
"The address where Yiyi was hidden can't be near Yamada's house, right?" Ji Yang blurted out in surprise, he looked at Lin Muyan's solemn expression, and the two exchanged a look, and they both understood each other's thoughts.
"Mu Feng, you immediately check the address on the photo frame to see whose name the house is, whether it is under the name of Jun Yamada." Lin Muyan immediately explained to Mu Feng, and then said to Ji Yang: "You immediately go to the vicinity of this address to see if there is anything unusual." ”
"Understood. But if Yiyi is really inside, what are you going to do? Ji Yang asked curiously.
Lin Muyan couldn't answer this question for a while, he kept looking at the portrait, and suddenly said, "No need, I'll go to the house over there with you in the middle of the night." ”
"You're going to go out in person? Isn't that good? Ji Yang looked at Lin Muyan disapprovingly, "Are you someone who doesn't believe me?" If Yiyi wasn't there, we would be startled by rash action, and if that house was really Yamada Jun's, weren't you afraid that he would bite back? ”
"I have a hunch that this is the place to collect Yiyi." Lin Muyan said with certainty. "If you think about it, Kuroda Sakurako has always lived in a simple house, and Yamada Jun doesn't live at home, how did she find Yiyi's hideout? It must have been this address that she found out by accident, and at this time Jun Yamada sent someone to spy on her, and she didn't have the freedom to tell us the information directly. ”
"Then has Jun Yamada already discovered that Sakurako Kuroda knows where Yiyi is hiding?" Ji Yang's expression gradually became serious.
"I can't say for sure for the time being, I just want to know how Yiyi is doing." Lin Muyan frowned and said, "You go and prepare, let's go out later." ”
"Well, whatever you say is what you say." Ji Yang shrugged, then took his mobile phone and walked to the side to make a call and explain the incident.
