Chapter 130 It is difficult to draw a tiger and bones

When Yu Xian saw Xiao Yan, who was tattooed all over her back, she immediately remembered an incident five years ago. At that time, he had just been promoted to the Bangkok Pakarong District Police Station. From the police station to the police station, he has been promoted for ten years. Now that the new official has taken office, he is full of spirit and complacent, and he looks at everything as a black person, and everyone looks like a criminal, and the more he looks at it, the more he looks like it.

There was just a pillow handed to Doze. Xu is people below see that he has an addiction to solving crimes, and within a few days, he is invited to the scene of a strange theft.

It is said that it is a strange theft because it meets the basic conditions such as door picking and twisting locks, property damage, etc.; But the strange thing is that the burglar only took one painting from the house, and left nothing else.

The owner is an old man who has lived in widowhood for many years, has no children and no daughters under his knees, and although the house is a single house, the surrounding neighbors see him pitiful, and often help him and accompany him to walk and chat.

That night, the burglar pried open the latch of the window frame, and then pulled the deadbolt with a special hook, and entered the house without noticing. The painting hangs in the middle of the room in the middle of the nave, which is very high. The thief must have stepped on the Taishi chair next to the Eight Immortals Table, but accidentally fell to the ground. The noise disturbed the old man, who had not been asleep for a long time, and he got up to inspect it, and then he was tied up by the thief.

According to him, the thief was a man, an adult man, not tall, wearing a white T-shirt and black pants, and a very thick gold chain hanging from his chest. It's not like an ordinary thief, but it looks like a special thief came to steal paintings.

He was old, his bones were loose, and he didn't dare to do anything, so he could only watch as the painting was unloaded and swept away by the other party. He tried to call for help, but a towel was stuffed in his mouth and he could only make a sound in his throat. The next morning, it was the neighbors who saw the anomaly and rescued him.

Speaking of this painting, the old man suddenly burst into tears. Yu Xian was puzzled, so he asked people to understand carefully.

It turned out that this painting was made by Zhang Shanzi, the elder brother of the famous Chinese painter Zhang Daqian. Zhang Shanzi is good at painting tigers, known as "tiger idiots". In order to draw tigers well, he kept tigers in the Master of Nets Garden in Suzhou for eight years during his residence in Suzhou. Milk and fresh meat are served every day, and he observes the tiger's every move for a long time and thinks about it with his heart. The tiger in his pen is realistic and pure, with both form and spirit, smart and elegant, and awe-inspiring. The great Chinese writer Lin Yutang once praised: "The tigers he painted, with one muscle, one spine, one shoulder, and one claw, are all energetic, pure and realistic." U.S. Air Force Colonel Chennault led the U.S. Air Force volunteers to fight in China, and Zhang Shanzi praised his trip and painted "Flying Tiger" as a gift to Chennault. Chen immediately changed the name of the volunteer team to the "Flying Tigers" and made many flags and badges according to the "Flying Tiger Picture" to distribute to his subordinates to inspire the soldiers. Later, the "Flying Tigers" fought very bravely in China, and repeatedly inflicted heavy damage on Japanese planes, which terrified the Japanese pilots. Chennault cherished the original "Flying Tiger" even more, and regarded it as an arch. After Chennault's death, his other wife, Mrs. Chen Xiangmei, donated the painting to the U.S. Air Force Institute of History, where it is now in the National Museum.

Mr. Zhang Shanzi unfortunately passed away in 1940 due to physical reasons, and the old man turned out to be Zhang Shanzi's own grandson, who later came to Thailand with his mother Zhang Xinsu and settled down. Yu Xian didn't expect that the old man was a descendant of a celebrity, and felt that this case was a problem, so he quickly set up a capable investigation team and decided to crack the case as soon as possible, in order to make meritorious service and receive awards.
