402. Guan Lin's defense
Your plan is completely successful, you are convinced that Hong Limin's diary is your talisman, the problem is that the portrait, because judging from the restoration of the portrait, it is impossible to prove that Tajima has murderous intent, therefore, it is necessary to deal with that portrait, if you burn it, it will leave a smell, and if you bury it, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not be dug up in the future.
If you smudge the image with red paint again, you will be suspicious because of the dryness of the paint.
That's why you came up with the ingenious way of bringing out that portrait with a hundred landscape paintings.
You managed to bring out the only evidence against you from the Tajima family on the day of the funeral, and I think you burned it, didn't you?
The only thing that was left was Hong Limin's diary.
In her diary, she only recorded her determination to divorce her husband and her anxiety and anxiety about being killed by him, and since Tajima was dead and could not come forward to clarify it, you were absolutely safe, you must be so sure, and the fact is also true, we think that it was a forced martyrdom to release you.
You must be snickering in your heart......"
"Are you done?" Guan Lin said with a displeased face. His face was pale, and his attitude was not as calm as before.
"It's interesting, it's interesting, but there's a fatal flaw in your reasoning, and it's clear from this flaw that it's just reasoning, and it can't be taken seriously."
"What are the drawbacks?" Tian Chunda looked at Guan Lin and asked.
"Motives!" Guan Lin said as if shouting, "What motive do you think I have to kill those two people?"
I learned three years ago that she was in love with Tajima, and I returned to Dongyang to heal the pain of falling out of love, and although I lost my paintbrush and concentrated on running the inn, I still can't forget her.
But I had to forget her. Although I was asked to get married, I had no idea of getting married, because her image could not disappear from my mind, and when I received her letter, I had mixed feelings.
Because I still miss her, in this case, even if I had the heart to kill Tajima, would I kill her too? ”
Guan Lin stared at Tian Chunda's face and continued-
"She has made up her mind to divorce her husband and stay with me, and if she fights a lawsuit, she will be the one who wins.
If she wins this lawsuit, she can be with me. Why do I have to kill them? Three years ago, I was really angry with Tajima, but this time I'm the winner, and even if I'm still dissatisfied with him, it won't be serious enough to have murderous intent, if you think so, wouldn't it be easy to understand? Why do you say I'm motivated? What is the motivation? You won't say it's because I'm insane, right? ”
"Don't say that nonsense." Tian Chunda said with a smile. "You do have a motive."
"What is the motive?"
"Don't worry, I'll tell you now."
Tian Chunda said slowly, re-lit a cigarette, and looked at the distant mountains.
"From beginning to end, this incident is related to the relationship between men and women. First of all, the relationship between Tajima and Kuwabara was the same. Finally, there is your relationship with Hong Limin.
The scandal between the model and the painter, the husband's extramarital affair, the wife and the man who rekindled the love three years ago, the husband who hopes to reconcile and the wife who is determined to divorce, are all related to the relationship between men and women, and the weekly magazine also reported on this incident with a triangular relationship and a four-cornered relationship. Everyone believed that the incident was caused by a relationship between a man and a woman.
Needless to say, we thought so too, but we couldn't find your motive for killing those two men, and it wasn't until I saw the oil painting depicting the ancient city of Dongyang at Kuwabara's bar that I found a clue. Although I have no impression of the signature 'Hou Teng' on the painting, judging from the depiction of the ancient city of Dongyang, could it be that it was painted by a painter who lives in Dongyang? Thinking about it, thinking about it, I can't help but wonder if the 'Hou Teng' painter will be your pseudonym?
Unable to find a motive, I was eager to break through the impasse.
"Therefore, I took the painting to visit Yoshimizukawa, the president of the New Century Society.
Although Yoshimizugawa did not confirm that the painting was painted by you, only that it looked like yours, it made me feel very satisfied, because as long as it was possible, there was a glimmer of hope.
"If 'Hou Teng' is your pseudonym, it means that you have not given up on painting and continue to paint.
"Needless to say, there's nothing wrong with you continuing to paint, because anyone has the freedom to paint.
I've submitted articles to magazines under a pseudonym before, but it means a lot to me that you paint under a pseudonym.
Three years ago, you returned to Dongyang in the name of treating a broken love, I think that is not true, the real reason should be related to painting, although I am a layman to paint, but I know that the competition of artists is very fierce.
Three years ago, you were not selected for an art exhibition, and Tajima won a special prize, which was reported in the newspapers.
Of course, you will have serious frustration, because you were not selected by the American University, but Tajima, who was self-taught, won the grand prize.
What can be done to cure frustration? With Tajima, not only can you not get rid of the frustration, but also can't bear Tajima's fame day by day, if you return to Dongyang like this, it is equivalent to admitting defeat, and there is also a sense of humiliation like a dog running away with its tail between its legs, just at this time, Tajima married Hong Limin, and you took advantage of this opportunity to declare to the public that you returned to your hometown to treat the pain of falling out of love.
In other words, you disguise your frustration at painting with a broken love.
If you really want to treat the pain of falling out of love, you should give up the brush, but judging from the fact that you didn't give up the brush, your return to your hometown to treat the loss of love is just an excuse, and because you can't give up the brush, you took the name Hou Teng and rented a house to continue painting.
However, you can't draw the picture you want to draw, and I'm afraid that in your consciousness, Tajima is a huge shadow that overwhelms you, and you can't paint as you want, so you hate Tajima's existence.
"The more you can't draw the picture you want to draw, the more you will hate Tajima, and even if your hatred turns to murderous intent, I don't think it's incredible.
You calmly make a plan to kill, and if you can hide your true motives in your plan, you'll be safe.
That's why you're trying so hard to spread the relationship between men and women.
Triangles, quadrangular relationships, scandals, and divorces are all tricks created to hide their true motives.
You don't have any love for Hong Limin at all, that's why you can kill her. Are you right? ”
Guan Lin's face became more and more pale, but he did not agree with what Tian Chunda said.
"I admire your imagination." Guan Lin said in a dry voice. "He is worthy of being the captain of the criminal police, not only the methods of committing crimes, but even the motives are very cleverly fabricated, which is really admirable, but that kind of motive is purely imaginary to you.
