There is another reason why Seki Lin hid the "portrait of a certain woman" under the landscape painting, and that is the method of taking the "portrait of a certain woman" out of the Tajima family. He must have expected that the police would release him for forced martyrdom, and after he was released, it would not be difficult to take the "portrait of a certain woman" out of the Tajima family if the family of the deceased was asked to send him the landscape painting as a souvenir.

Guan Lin probably expected that the family of the deceased would not refuse his request, and in fact, the family of the deceased did give the deceased's posthumous work to the people attending the funeral, and because of this, it was easier for Guan Lin to take the portrait out.

For Sekibayashi, the painting depicting the landscape is not a painting, but a painting that takes another painting out of the travel bag of the Tajima family.

Tian Chunda thought of this, and felt that there was a very thick wall in front of him, if it was really as he speculated, why did Guan Lin have to take the "portrait of a certain woman" out of the Tajima family? Why don't you want people to see that portrait? Tian Chunda didn't know that if the "portrait of a certain woman" with red paint on his face was discovered, it would increase the possibility of forced martyrdom, which should be very beneficial to Guan Lin, but why did he hide the portrait under the landscape painting and take it out of Tajima's house?

After Tian Chunda muttered to himself, he got out of bed and wanted to wash his face, but at that moment, he suddenly had an idea.

The reason why he took the portrait out of the Tajima house was because it would be bad for him if it was discovered, and if the portrait with red paint on his face was found, it should be good for him, and the so-called disadvantage......

Isn't the "Portrait of a Woman" defaced with red paint?

Due to the new discovery, Tian Chunda forgot to wash his face and sat back on the bed again, with a premonition that the solution to this incident had shown a ray of hope, and it was not far from solving the case.

Tian Chunda now found a small clue, although he has no evidence to prove that Guan Lin took the "portrait of a certain woman" out, this is purely his speculation, but he feels that this speculation is very likely to be true.

Tian Chunda knew that he was building a castle, although he couldn't assassinate the other party in the castle, but if he thought about it carefully, Guan Lin was also in the castle built by Hong Limin with his diary, and it should be possible to defeat another castle with this castle. The breakthrough point that Tian Chunda found was that the "portrait of a certain woman" was not stained with red paint.

However, he immediately discovered that this speculation contradicted the facts. The face of the portrait that Hong Limin saw should have really been painted with red paint, because she couldn't have been talking nonsense in her diary.

When Hong Limin saw it, his face had been painted with red paint.

However, on the day of the incident, the "portrait of a certain woman" was not smeared with red paint, and for this reason, Guan Lin hid it under the landscape painting and took it out of Tajima's house.

So, how did the red pigment disappear? Tian Chunda got an answer from his imagination.

Someone restored the portrait before the incident.

So, who will fix it? It will never be Hong Limin, because she has run away from home and has no technology to restore portraits.

It won't be Guan Lin, because he won't do anything bad for him, and he doesn't have time to fix that portrait. The only thing left is Tajima, because he has the time and the skills to restore the portrait.

Tian Chunda remembered what reporter Yi Cheng said, he went to visit Tajima the night before the incident, and at that time Tajima refused to meet on the grounds that "something must be done today", and what Tajima did not mean was a new painting, but a restoration of "a portrait of a certain woman", right? If this is the case, even if you are not holding a solo exhibition or participating in a new exhibition, you can understand the meaning of the word "done".

Tian Chunda changed his clothes, put on his shoes, and thought to himself that he had to investigate.

"Wen Qing, send me breakfast." Tian Chunda shouted.

After breakfast, Tian Chunda went to visit Yoshisui River again. Yoshimizugawa greeted Tian Chunda with a vigilant look.

"Even if you come a few more times, I won't change my opinion that the incident was a suicide." Yoshimizugawa said in a firm tone. "Because Guan Lin doesn't kill people."

"I'm going to talk to you about something else today." Tian Chunda said in a calm tone as much as possible. "It's a matter of repairing a picture......

"Oh?" Yoshimizugawa asked, shaking his head as if he was a little surprised. "Is it a vandalized painting?"

"It's a portrait, and it's been scribbled with red paint by a child, how can I restore the portrait to its original state?"

"Is that your portrait?"

"It's not." Tian Chunda said with a smile. "My appearance is not suitable for a portrait, it is a portrait of a beautiful woman, can it be simply restored?"

"It's not that easy, because you have to remove the red paint without harming the original painting; It's okay to scrape the red paint off with a knife, but doing so will hurt the canvas. The best way to do this is to use solvents, as solvents can dissolve red pigments that are very resistant. With this method, no matter how bad the technique is, it will not hurt the canvas, it will just ......"

"Just what?"

"If you use a solvent that is not of good quality, I am afraid that the original painting will change color, and there are very few solvents with perfect performance, and sometimes I feel very nerve-wracking, and there are dry oils with good production performance in foreign countries, but it is not easy to buy."

"Is there anything else I should pay attention to when restoring a painting?"

"Yes. It's best to have it fixed by the original creator, because that's the safest. If the original creator dies, find someone who is very knowledgeable about the original painting to restore it. ”

"I see." Tian Chunda said. "Thank you for your valuable data."

"Does it really have anything to do with that incident?" Yoshimizugawa looked at Tian Chunda's face with puzzled eyes, and Tian Chunda reciprocated with an ambiguous smile.

After Tian Chunda said goodbye to Yoshimizugawa, he immediately went to visit, and Yi Chengcheng, who was still passing the time in the café opposite the magazine.

"I'd like to ask you again about your meeting with Tajima." Tian Chunda said after handing a cigarette to the other party.

Yi Chengcheng's face changed slightly: "Why are you so enthusiastic about the incident that has been closed with forced martyrdom?" ”

"Nothing, I'm just interested in the story you wrote."

"I see." Yi Cheng smiled and said, "What do you want to ask?" ”

"The last time I met you, you said that you met Tajima the night before the incident, and you saw his hands covered in paint, isn't that true?"

"Yes. That's what I said. ”

"Do you remember what color it was?"

"Do you mean the color of the paint?" Yi Cheng asked rhetorically with wide eyes. It seems that the problem was not what he expected.

"Yes, the color of the paint, I hope you remember."

"It's red, because Tajima's hands are red."

Yi Cheng looked at Tian Chunda's face with red eyes.

"Is it really red?"
