"Nanahara-san, this is the book you want."

After communicating by phone, Taiji Okuno, Hidakaji and Takeshi Nanahara rushed to the Shochikugu Museum of Art almost at the same time, and they also went to Matsuuchi's house on the way, took a book from Matsuuchi Yuruto's study, and put it in an evidence bag because the purpose was not clear, and now it is in the hands of Nanahara Takeshi.

"Thank you." Nanahara Takeshi took it with a thanks, and after seeing that the title of the book was correct, he turned to Eiri Nakano and said, "Miss Nakano, we can end this case." ”

Eri Nakano glanced at him, just now she also asked Nanahara Takeshi what he found, but Nanahara Takeshi said that the props and characters are not complete now, and it is too difficult to talk about it, so she keeps saying wait, so that she wants to beat him up with Kiyomi Ruri, but after two or three days of contact, everyone's trust has increased a little, and she didn't say anything, so she walked to the art museum first.

This time is the official arrest, as long as the facts of the crime are confirmed, and the arrest warrant can be stuffed into the detention center until the court, her aura is obviously much stronger, and the domineering spirit of the state's violent machine crushing everything is undoubtedly revealed, leading the team all the way in, frightening the staff of the art museum to retreat.

"What's wrong?!" Tatsuo Uchii quickly came out, followed by a bank representative.

Eri Nakano helped his glasses, and a sharp white light flashed on the lenses, signaling Okuno to torture people, and said lightly: "Uchii-san, you have been arrested, please cooperate with the police now, and don't do anything superfluous." ”

Nanahara Takeshi stood behind her, clinging to his stab-proof suit, and reminded softly, "There is also the "Four Branches of Okinoshima Scroll", which also needs to be taken with them. ”

Tatsuo Uchii's face was still calm, but the bank representative couldn't accept it at first, blocked Taiji Okuno, and said excitedly: "Wait a minute, what is your reason?" Are you crazy, the auction is going to take place in three days, and now you're going to take the "Okinoshima Four Scrolls"? Do you know how much this will cost us? Or is it because of the reporter, what evidence do you have? ”

Nanahara Takeshi stood behind Eri Nakano and said with a smile: "This representative, don't get excited, your heart is not very good, I'm afraid of your sudden death." If you want to say it here, you can take out the "Okinoshima Four Scrolls", and I will prove it to you, and I promise that you won't care if we take those four paintings with us, otherwise you can complain to us as much as you want when you go back. ”

The bank representative was stunned, as if he had thought of some possibility, his expression turned pale instantly, and he couldn't help but immediately turned his head to look at Tatsuo Uchii, who turned around and walked to the basement with a calm expression, and said lightly: "Then please come!" ”

People like him have to die to understand, the safe was quickly opened, and the "Okinoshima Four Scrolls" was unfolded again and spread on the table, and Nanahara Takeya leaned over again to take a closer look, and praised sincerely: "Actually, it's really a bit remarkable, almost perfect, even if Ichinose Fan is resurrected, when he sees this painting, he has to recall whether he painted it himself." ”

The bank representative had become more and more convinced of that possibility, his lips began to tremble, and he was somewhat purple, and said in a trembling voice: "Is this a fake?" What is the evidence? ”

He subconsciously curled his fingers as he spoke, as if he wanted to hold something and stab Nanahara to death, so that he didn't say what he said later, the bank he worked for was just a local private bank in Hirano, and it had just burst a lot of dead debts, if the 170 million yen just loaned, plus the additional 40 million yen in cash from the investment auction, he couldn't get it back......

The consequences were so serious that even the depositors, who were already extremely uneasy because of the successive bank failures in various places, were frightened again, completely lost confidence in the banks, and fled one after another, and it is not too much to say that the consequences were fatal.

The bank representatives were almost scared to death, Nanahara Takeshi didn't care about the bank's life or death at all, and the bank didn't give him a pen, he directly took out an antenna pen, flicked it into a whip, pointed at the autumn scroll and smiled: "Everyone, please look here, this paragraph records the scene of the residents of Okinoshima catching cherry blossom shrimp overnight during the traditional shrimp fishing season in November, which is very realistic and vivid, and it is a beautiful poem of the sweat of the ancient working people, but this is not the point, the focus is on the brilliant starry sky displayed on the vast sea."

Look, this is the constellation Mega Snake, and the intersection with the constellation Mega Snake is the sign Ophiuchus, which is large and wide overall, and is extremely conspicuous in the November night sky, after all, it corresponds to the 'heavy snow' in the solar terms. For this reason, the painter used the 'flesh brush drawing' technique to show all the main stars, which are almost exactly the same as the Ophiuchus that we can see with the naked eye now.

Of course, there is nothing strange about this, nearly four hundred years is a long time for humans, but for stars it is only a moment, and it should not change until there is a mistake, and if there is a mistake, it can be directly determined that it is a fake, so at first I didn't notice the flaw here, until I was ...... Well, it wasn't until I was eating lamb ribs that I was inspired and suddenly thought of one of the books in Yuto Matsuuchi's collection. ”

Takeshi Nanahara said this, took out the evidence bag, and showed the title of the book in the bag to everyone, "Look, this is the German astronomer Kepler's book "The Nova of Ophiuchus's Feet", the content can be known from the title of the book, Kepler observed this supernova explosion that suddenly emitted a huge light under the side of Ophiuchus in October 1604......"

"Wait!"

Kiyomi Ruri knew that the overall situation should be the priority, but she really couldn't help it, and she really understood why someone would be unkind and wantonly deprive others of their lives, because she really wanted to stab this bastard Takeshi Nanahara with a knife right now - the bullshit lamb ribs, that's my credit, this black-hearted dog thing is greedy for my credit, and then show off here!

She grimaced her little face and gritted her teeth and asked, "Didn't you say that supernovae are difficult to observe with the naked eye?" And now what's going on! ”

"That's a good question!" Nanahara Takeshi glanced at her appreciatively and said with a smile, "There are indeed only a handful of supernova explosions observed with the naked eye in human history, the most recent one that can be observed with the naked eye is the 1987A supernova explosion, but the light is very faint, if you want to find it, it is possible for ordinary people to be blind, it is not a problem for the painter not to draw it into the painting, but Kepler supernova SN1604 or 1604A is completely different, it exploded in the Milky Way, very close to the earth, It's only about 13,000 light-years – really very close for a cosmic object.

It ranks among the top three in the supernova explosion recorded by humans, and the one stronger than it is 1006A in the constellation Jackal, according to Chinese historical records, it is said that it is 'like a half moon, with horns, and can be appreciated', which probably means that you can even read a book at night with the light of this supernova explosion.

Then the problem comes, Tokugawa Ieyasu conquered the world and established the shogunate in the eighth year of Taisho, that is, in 1603, and at the same time, through a large number of notes from Ichinose Fan's friends, we can clearly know that "Okinoshima Four Scrolls" is a map of the four seasons that Ichinose Fan spent two years creating in the ninth and tenth years of Taisho, that is, in 1604 and 1605, and he also died in the winter of 1605, when he created "Okinoshima Four Branches", Kepler supernova was hanging in the night sky, and it was very bright, higher than the light of Ophiuchus itself, Why didn't Ichinose Fan draw it in? On the painting in front of me, even the ophiuchus β not very bright have circled several strokes. ”

This series of information, except for Tatsuo Uchii who looked at the painting and was silent, the rest of the people took a long time to digest, but they all looked at the painting and had nothing to say, and could not find words to refute.

This is really not a hard injury, it doesn't make sense logically, unless the person who painted the painting in front of him, even if he went to Okinoshima for a careful investigation, and probably figured out what the authentic painting was from the Codex notes of Ichinose Fan's friend, and even strictly studied the life of the common people in the Sengoku period, but he didn't see the same starry sky as Ichinose Fan, and the Kepler Supernova 1604A explosion only lasted for more than two years, and the forger was born too late to watch.

The forger has done his best to be as perfect as possible, he didn't make the same mistake as the author of a mystery novel, he didn't draw any more stars, he just didn't learn the nature class well, forgot that there was such a thing as a supernova, he didn't check the book, and he didn't draw the most conspicuous celestial phenomena in the sky Chinese New Year's Eve 1604 and 1605, leaving a trivial flaw, which can only be said to be a hundred secrets.

The bank representative not only had his lips trembling at this time, but even his body began to tremble, and his attendant hurriedly went out to find the phone, planning to find an astronomer to ask, in case there was a supernova explosion in 1604, and it was particularly conspicuous, the possibility that this painting was a fake would rise infinitely, not to mention 400 million yen, that is, whether 4 million yen could be sold or not had to be said.

The bank will be miserable this time!

Nanahara Takeya finally turned to the murderer, that is, Tatsuo Uchii, who was still calm, waved the "New Star Under the Foot of Ophiuchus" in his hand, shook his head and said: "It proves that the painting is a fake, even if it is only suspected of being a fake, there is nothing to say next." The appearance of the 121-year-old "Okinoshima Shikin Scroll" in Hirano is also a big event for the art world, and Yuto Matsuuchi went to interview you as a reporter for the art column, and had a good conversation with you, and when you returned, he began to rush the manuscript immediately, and he was as energetic as a mountain whale, and he was very eager to make a little progress, and immediately began to look up the life of Ichinose Fan in detail, and wanted to write a perfect manuscript.

But unfortunately, his hobby is reading, and he doesn't read a lot of miscellaneous books on weekdays, from the Tokugawa shogunate's recruitment of Ichinose Fan caused him to be overexcited and sudden death and a lot of codex notes that record the creation process of "Okinoshima Shikama", I think of this point in time in 1604, and I think of this book that should have just read "The New Star Under the Feet of Ophiuchus", maybe I want to use it as a good example of praising Ichinose Fan for depicting reality, and by the way, show his erudition, and casually compare it with the picture scroll photo, and find this small flaw, I told you about it, and even I believe he blackmailed you...... Is that so, Uchii-san? ”

Tatsuo Uchii looked at him, the corners of his eyes twitching slightly, but he still maintained his face calm and did not speak.

Nanahara Takeshi didn't care if he said or not, and continued: "You should satisfy him once, because he was very happy, and he apologized to his wife when he got home, at that time their husband and wife had been in a cold war, but "Okinoshima Four Branches" is really too important to you, this is the turning point of your career, it is the opportunity for you to gamble on all the property you own, and you gamble on the opportunity to fight for your reputation, you can't accept that he is as greedy as a mountain whale, and he quickly repents and threatens you a second time, because you have no money, So it becomes your only option to shut him up forever.

You are also a person in the art circle, you can figure out the work process of the magazine without moving, on the night of the magazine page meeting, make an appointment with Heikan-san, ask him to drink together, and then propose to go to a bath together to relax, when accessing valuables, you just dial his watch, slightly speed up the time for more than ten minutes and half an hour, and then pretend to be drunk and trick him into the house, let him continue to drink, and even more or less a little sleeping pills, so that he gets drunk faster and sleeps more deeply.

Heidate-san thought that he slept a little more at ten o'clock, but in fact, he closed his eyes in the guest room at about half past nine, and you took this short time, according to the route observed before, quickly rushed to the courtyard of Matsuuchi's house to ambush it, suddenly launched an attack, quickly killed Matsuuchi Yuren, and then went home to turn Heidate-san's watch back to the exact time, and completely settled down.

Of course, it doesn't matter if you fail that night, you have the patience to look for opportunities again, so Yuto Matsuuchi is almost certain to die.

Your wife is also your accomplice, when Heikan-san came, he just pretended to be on the phone to order takeout, and taking takeout is also fake, and even according to your character, you have prepared an audio tape in advance, simulating the sound of knocking on the door, the conversation between the takeaway clerk and his wife, in fact, the takeaway, before you go home, your wife just heated the takeout the day before, only at nine o'clock, she called the sheep pill house again, ordered it again, and stayed at the door early to take it directly.

Well, the mutton house shop is okay, the mutton cuisine mainly highlights a tender and fresh, but Heikan-san said something salty and fresh, probably because the mutton is a little old, and your wife has been heating it for a little too long. ”

Takeshi Nanahara said this, looked at the expression on Tatsuo Uchii's face, and said: "Of course, I also know that you can do it more perfectly, you choose such a simple and direct alibi, just because you are confident that you will not become the main target of the police's suspicion, after all, the flaws on the painting are really small, and I have been looking for more than a day if you have the heart to look for me, you want to have an alibi just don't want the police to interfere with your preparation for the auction, after all, if the auction fails, you will go bankrupt, no different from being arrested."

And at this moment, you really should be arrested, Matsuuchi Yuto pointed to the sky before he died, he wanted to point to Ophiuchus, when he was cut throat, he couldn't say anything, his consciousness was also blurred, he couldn't think of any other way to identify you, but he really wanted to identify you, I can only hope that someone can find his collection of books through this clue, and then find you and the "Four Branches of Okinoshima Scroll" that he just came into contact with, and then lock your suspicion, but the time is not right, everyone looked at the starry sky and was confused, and they all thought of the monster. ”

At this point, even if Nanahara Takeshi finished speaking, he paused for a moment and reminded softly: "Okay, Uchii-san, it's time for you to speak, I don't think you need me to discuss boring things like evidence with you, it really doesn't matter to you, admit defeat quickly, you almost won, but you didn't win, it's me who won." ”

The basement was silent for a long time, and Tatsuo Uchii slowly walked towards the "Okinoshima Four Branches", stretched out his hand to caress it, and said calmly, "5 million yen." ”

Nanahara didn't answer, and Kiyomi Ruri was stunned for a moment, and said strangely: "5 million yen...... What is the meaning? ”

Tatsuo Uchii didn't even glance at Ruri, but carefully stroked the "Four Branches of Okinoshima Scroll", feeling the wonderful touch of the elaborate production, and said in a flat tone: "The first time I paid Matsuuchi Yuhito, it was all the cash I could squeeze out at that time, and he also promised to help me keep it a secret, but it only lasted for one day, and he put forward a new condition, he asked for 25% of the auction price of these four paintings." ”

Speaking of this, Tatsuo Uchii chuckled under his breath, "He was also very tolerant, saying that if he could sell for 400 million yen, he would only need 100 million yen of it, and he would never ask for more, and he would take this secret to the grave, so I also showed him my kindness, stared into his eyes, comforted him, and passed away without him suffering much." ”

He continued to caress the long scroll, with reluctance in his eyes, as if he was recalling the process of starting a business from scratch all the way, "And I also overcame my fears, insisted on finishing the public exhibition, and continued my original plan, just a little bit...... I almost succeeded a little bit, I didn't expect to meet you this accident, but you said it was too early to win! ”

The person he resents the most now is Takeshi Nanahara, followed by the maker of fakes, and Yuto Matsuuchi can only rank third.

It proves that "Okinoshima Four Scrolls" is a fake, and indeed as Takeshi Nanahara said, he is finished, a good life, a beautiful house, a career that has worked hard for half a lifetime, and a wife who trusts him wholeheartedly are all finished, theoretically, no one should be able to think so much at the same time, no one should be able to find that inconspicuous flaw in this short period of time, but somehow a high school student came out, just like God was going to die for him.

At this point, no matter how determined he is, he can't believe that he still has the possibility of making a comeback, his life has indeed been ruined, and he has become the prey of being knocked down by a high school student, and as he spoke, he suddenly swooped to the side, which is the position where Takeshi Nanahara just made a big fuss - even if he becomes the prey, he will leave a few scars on the hunter's body, leaving a lifelong impression on the hunter.

But contrary to his expectations, the moment he threw himself out, he was stunned, Nanahara Takeshi was silent and didn't know when he had shrunk to the door position, and when he saw that something was wrong, he was about to drill out of the door, and at this time Kiyomi Ruri was the first to react, and he didn't have a brain to pounce on Uchii Tatsuo, and his knee hit his waist and eyes, so that he couldn't chase Nanahara Takeshi's slut.

She only understood after she finished beating people that she was going to be trapped and fighting, subconsciously pressed her small hand, three points of strength was better than ten points, suppressed Uchii Tatsuo's instinct to fight back, and rushed directly into his inner circle, and a fist of her convex fingers slammed into his chest and abdominal diaphragm, forcing him to stop breathing for a moment, unable to gather strength, and then relying on the meat pad at the lower end of the palm, he directly launched the decision technique, and the beautiful big eyes were as bright as cold stars, all of them were indomitable, and he exhaled and opened the sound of a "death" word, and the basement buzzed with a full force tiger strike, From the bottom up, Tatsuo Uchii's jaw hit him backwards, and he was almost unconscious on the spot with a concussion.

Well, Tatsuo Uchii's physical fitness is not weak, but he is too unlucky, he only has Takeshi Nanahara in his eyes, and he is completely unprepared for Kiyomi Ruri, a female high school student who looks delicate and weak, was attacked by her from the side and took the lead at the first time, and was beaten so much that he couldn't fight back at all, and knelt directly.

"Bastard!"

At this time, Taiji Okuno and Hidaka also rushed up, scolded loudly and angrily and directly knocked down Tatsuo Uchii, took out handcuffs and handkled him, and successfully arrested the murderer of the "Bon River Town Murder Incident".

At the same time, the bank representative had a white face, fell to the ground softly holding his heart, and made a lot of chicken feathers, and I don't know if he would pursue Kiyomi Ruri's coquettish drink scared him to a heart attack.
