"He is a painter who paints with a lot of heart, and I think he has very delicate nerves, but because his painting skills have not grown, he will discard his brush and stop painting when he encounters a bottleneck. Since he was very good at running inns, wouldn't it be nice for him to stop painting? He seems to have been caught up in this incident. ”

"Is Sekibayashi getting along with the dead Tajima?"

"Yes. Their personalities are completely different, and perhaps because of this, the relationship between the two of them may be brought closer, and Guan Lin once praised Tajima's talent. ”

Is that really the case? Tian Chunda thought so. This remark made Tian Chunda feel that Tajima's stance in the new century society was very delicate. Tian Chunda stopped asking and left the New Century Society, although he felt that these two people in the Society were somewhat prejudiced, but it could confirm what Kuwabara said.

As soon as Tian Chunda returned to the criminal investigation detachment, he immediately received a report that Hong Limin's diary had been found at the hotel where she was staying.

Tian Chunda read the diary written by Hong Limin in slender handwriting twice in a row.

"How?"

Hao Dong, a veteran criminal police officer who found the diary, said: "I think this diary can fully corroborate Guan Lin's testimony. ”

"Yes." Tian Chunda put the diary on the table and raised his bloodshot eyes.

"This diary can indeed corroborate Guan Lin's testimony, if it is really as written in this diary, Tajima resents his wife for having an affair with Guan Lin, and promises to divorce on the surface, but in fact wants to kill the empress dowager and then commit suicide."

"I think everything in this diary is true." Detective Hao Dong said.

"Who are we going to send to investigate the health pharmacy mentioned in this diary?"

"I'll go."

"Very well, I'll go too. If this pharmacy really sells poison to Tajima as Hong Limin thought, it can prove Guan Lin's innocence. Tian Chunda said and got up from his chair.

Since the health pharmacy is located near the forest park, it was immediately found, and as recorded in the diary, it was a small dimly lit pharmacy. A middle-aged man came out to greet them, and Tian Chunda remembered that the diary described the boss like this: "It's more like a construction worker than a boss," and Tian Chunda thought the same.

Tian Chunda first took out his police card and showed it to the other party, and at that moment, Tian Chunda saw a slight embarrassment on the other party's face.

"Do you remember when this woman came to your pharmacy four days ago?" Tian Chunda showed Hong Limin's photo to the middle-aged man.

The pharmacy owner tilted his head as if he didn't know how to answer for a moment, and after a while, he nodded reluctantly.

"This woman must have been here that day."

This time, Tian Chunda took out a photo of Tajima and showed it to the other party.

The other shook his head. "No, I haven't seen this person, and this woman said something inexplicable that day, which made me very nerve-wracking, because she insisted that this person had come to this pharmacy, but in fact, this person did not come."

"Really?"

"Of course it's true, because this woman was the only one who came to the pharmacy that day, so there is no mistake."

Tian Chunda smiled, because he clearly saw that the other party was lying.

Judging from the fact that the other party looked a little embarrassed when he saw the police ID, he must have done something unseemly.

"Do you even want to cheat us?" Tian Chunda changed his tone of voice and stared at the other party's face.

"Did this person come, as soon as I investigated, I will know, what? If you insist that this person did not come, we will launch an investigation, and then you will not regret being summoned to the Public Security Bureau. ”

“……”

"How? Has this person ever been here? ”

"I've been here." The pharmacy owner whispered.

"Why did you lie to her when this woman came to ask and said she didn't come?"

"Because this man, please don't let anyone know he's been here."

"So, you've been bought by this man? He's not here to buy cold medicine, is he? ”

"Then ......," the other said, tilting his head again. I'm sorry. ”

The pharmacy owner whispered, lowered his head and said, "Because I'm selling something I shouldn't be selling." ”

"What are you selling him?"

"Yes......"

"You're not going to sell him potassium cyanate, are you?"

"Why do you think that?"

"Because two people died, did you really sell him potassium cyanate? And why sell him potassium cyanate? ”

"It's because ......"

"For money?"

"No, not for money, I'm not the kind of person who sells that dangerous thing for the sake of money, with a clear conscience. I sold him because he repeatedly insisted that he needed potassium cyanate for painting, and although I didn't know how to paint, I knew Mr. Tajima because I had seen his photographs, and since he was a painter, I thought he wouldn't lie, so I sold him the potassium cyanate that I had handy. ”

"You need potassium cyanate to paint, how do you say that?"

"He said that when potassium cyanate is mixed into the paint, the painting is more shiny."

"Do you believe what he says?"

"Yes. Because he's a painter, and I ask him to sign it. ”

"Signature? Why did he sign it? ”

"To be careful, when I sell highly poisonous drugs, I always ask the purchaser to sign the signature book, so that if the highly poisonous is misused, it has nothing to do with me."

"Let me see this person's signature."

"Okay."

The pharmacy owner pulled out a black autograph book, the size of a college notebook, with white ink written on it: "Poison Purchaser Signature Book".

Tajima's signature is on the third page, and the signature on the first line of that page is Lin Youping, who seems to be a doctor, with the word "morphine" stamped with a rubber stamp.

The second line is Tajima's signature. His signature is a little upturned to the upper right.

The occupation column is "Painter", the remarks column is "Painting Materials", the same handwriting as the signature, and the words "Potassium Cyanate" are stamped with a rubber stamp.

"I'm not lying, am I?" The pharmacy owner seemed to be a little uneasy and looked at the faces of Tian Chunda and Hao Dong, but they didn't answer.

"Can you lend us this autograph book for two or three days?" Tian Chunda asked.

"Yes. But what will happen to me? Will there be sin? The pharmacy owner asked with a pale face.

Tian Chunda said coldly: "At least thanks to your sale of potassium cyanate, two people have died, you should reflect on this matter, I think in the near future, the relevant departments will summon you." ”

The "Poison Buyer's Signature Book" brought back by Tian Chunda and Hao Dong was immediately sent for handwriting identification, and the result was, as Tian Chunda expected, indeed Tajima's handwriting.

"In this way, the possibility of forced martyrdom is strengthened." Detective Hao Dong said. "However, the owner of the pharmacy said that he was selling potassium cyanate for the sake of art, which puzzled me."
