"Please, please." Tajima's brother said heartily. "Please bring your favorite painting home as a souvenir, my brother will be very happy."

When Tian Chunda and Jiang Shangfeng set out on their way home, it was already late at night, and it was a cold night that seemed to be about to rain.

"What do you think of that painting?" Jiang Shangfeng asked as he walked.

"Painting?" After Tian Chunda asked rhetorically, he took the sketch in his hand and said, "Do you mean the huge painting that Guan Lin selected?" ”

"Yes. Why did Guan Lin choose that huge painting? I've been wondering why he chose that painting. ”

"Do you think it's a little strange that he picked that huge painting?"

"Captain Tian, don't you think it's a little strange?"

"At first I thought he was very polite, but when he said he was going to hang the picture on the wall of the hotel, he was no longer so surprised."

"I think so, too, but there are still things I don't understand. To be honest, that painting was a failure of Tajima, and his shortcomings were completely manifested in that painting.

"Since Guan Lin has also been painting for a while, I think I should know about it, if it is to be hung on the wall of the hotel, there should be a few more to choose from, Guan Lin should know."

Jiang Shangfeng cited the names of several paintings as examples, and from the perspective of Tian Chunda, a layman, the landscape painting selected by Guan Lin was not a good painting, but it could not be regarded as evidence related to the incident.

Tian Chunda said this, Jiang Shangfeng nodded again and again and said: "I think Guan Lin must have a deep reason for choosing that landscape painting. The following is purely my speculation, and perhaps the evidence that proves that the incident was a murder is hidden in the painting that Guan Lin selected. ”

"Hidden in that landscape?" Tian Chunda looked at Jiang Shangfeng's face in surprise.

"You think so, isn't it a little bit of that? You think that because you are convinced that the incident was a murder, but do you have the evidence to prove it? If not, isn't it nonsense, deliberately framing people? ”

"Maybe it's the same as you say." Jiang Shangfeng nodded very bluntly and said. "Maybe I was overthinking about that painting, but I will never change Guan Lin's opinion that he killed the Tajima couple, and that incident was definitely not a forced martyrdom."

"But you don't have any proof to prove it, do you?"

"When it comes to evidence, it's only the diary, but I don't know if that diary can be evidence......"

"The diary." Tian Chunda stopped and looked at Jiang Shangfeng's face.

Although he was tempted to ask Jiang Shangfeng, why Hong Limin's diary would become evidence of the murder? However, for the sake of face, it was still not brought up.

"Please keep that journal." Tian Chunda said insincerely, feeling that his face was a little hot.

After a short silence, Jiang Shangfeng suddenly said, "Let's break up here!" It turned out that they had unknowingly arrived in front of the station.

"There's one more thing I'd like to ask you." Tian Chunda said while waiting for the bus: "Mr. Jiang Shangfeng, why are you so enthusiastic about that incident?" Is it to have fun as a detective? ”

"Needless to say, that's certainly one of the reasons." Jiang Shangfeng said with a smile. "That incident, Guan Lin is still alive and can defend himself, although Hong Limin is dead, but the diary left behind can also defend her, only Tajima can't defend himself, even if he is mistaken for forced martyrdom, he can't defend himself, which is very unfair to Tajima."

"So, you're going to defend Tajima?"

"Yes. However, I don't know if I will succeed. Jiang Shangfeng scratched his head, as if he was a little embarrassed and said.

Tian Chunda felt that Jiang Shangfeng was very generous.

"Good job." Tian Chunda said. "Still, I don't believe what you say about the killing."

"Goodbye." Jiang Shangfeng said.

Tian Chunda watched Jiang Shangfeng take the subway train to the city on the platform, which was the last time Tian Chunda met Jiang Shangfeng.

All at once another week passed. During this week, Tian Chunda devoted himself to tracking down another incident.

It was an incident in which an old couple in the financial industry was killed and robbed of 300,000 yuan, although it was a homicide, but the facts of the case were very simple, so the murderer was arrested in a week, and the case was solved, the murderer was a 20-year-old student, and the money he grabbed was used for fun and pleasure, and when he was arrested in the mountain hotel, he said without remorse: "Because I need money to go skiing......

This is an incident produced by the frivolous world, stealing money for vacation, and being found by an old couple to commit a murder, this kind of murder is caused by the greed for pleasure, so young people will be like this, and the flashy social atmosphere is responsible for most of the responsibility. Tian Chunda sighed with emotion.

Tian Chunda remembered Jiang Shangfeng's soft face again, was he still sure that the incident was a murder? Or have you changed your mind and believe that it was forced martyrdom?

Tian Chunda tried to call the office of the "New Century" association, but the person who answered the phone was a young man, and Tian Chunda said that he wanted to find Jiang Shangfeng.

"Mr. Egami's whereabouts were unknown five days ago." The other replied.

"Missing?" Tian Chunda was taken aback and asked. "What the hell is going on?"

"Five days ago, when I met with Mr. Jiang Shangfeng, he said that he was going on a trip and would not be back until two or three days. He was never seen again, and he was never heard from again. ”

"When you met him, did you ask him where he was going?"

"I asked, but he only said that he was going to the north, and he didn't know where he was going, because I was a little worried, and I was trying to find someone to discuss whether to go to the police."

"What about Mr. Egami's family?"

"His family is not in Namguang."

"Has he ever taken a trip out of town before?"

"Mr. Egami doesn't like to travel, maybe it's a little more appropriate to say that he hates traveling, so he said that it is a rare thing to go on a trip, and it is the first time that there has been no news for five days like this, so I want to call the police......"

"I see." Tian Chunda said. "You'd better call the police."

Tian Chunda hung up the phone, put the phone receiver, and thought with his arms crossed. Jiang Shangfeng is missing, Tian Chunda muttered to himself. At present, it is not possible to determine whether Jiang Shangfeng is really missing, and if he is really missing, it must be related to that incident.

Could it be that Egami's speculation is correct?

Tian Chunda gradually felt uneasy, of course! The disappearance does not mean that he is dead, and although there is no evidence that Jiang Shangfeng has been killed, nor has it been confirmed that Jiang Shangfeng is really missing, Tian Chunda's imagination has spread beyond the barrier.

Jiang Shangfeng was convinced that this incident was a murder, and he must have found clues to investigate, and he said that going on a trip probably meant going out to investigate, right? Was Egami killed because he found evidence?

Tian Chunda decided to start investigating the whereabouts of the people involved in the incident during this week.
