The three little guys under Hugo's command are all lonely masters, and they don't know how many postures they have changed in the process of painting Arte.

It is common sense that when a painter is creating, he or she should arrange the structure of the picture according to the initial sketch, even if it is slightly modified, it will not be completely different from the original sketch. Street sketching needs to be completed in a short period of time, so it is natural to pay more attention to the efficiency of time use.

By drawing to a sketch, you can avoid wasting time reframing the shot, and you can also prevent the model from being dissatisfied with the changed composition.

But Arti chose another thankless method: first draw a sketch for Hugo to check, then draw a background to completely cover the sketch, and finally make another sketch to add the detective and the three families to the painting.

Thus, in the short forty minutes of sketching, there is an obvious logical contradiction - why does Mr. Yati not paint in the original sketch style?

Or—since Monsieur Arti had decided to paint the background first, why did he draw the next draft for Hugo and the others first?

After Hugo's deliberation on Arte's words and deeds, the answers to these questions are extremely obvious - the owner of Arte had to finish painting in the order in which he had practiced, so he had to spend thirty minutes first drawing the scene.

Hugo's appearance on the bench was an accidental coincidence, and the insect artist decided to spend an extra ten minutes depicting the model to add a perfect eyewitness to his alibi.

"If there is only one anomaly in the mannerisms, speech, and way of drawing, it may be explained by an excuse such as a coincidence of mood. But when the three things are added together, there must be something strange behind it. ”

Hugo raised three fingers and said to the insect hall owner-

"I may not have been able to understand the meaning of your small actions in the morning, but after the incident, your motives for doing so are very clear. At that time, in order to make the time you painted irrefutable, you deliberately emphasized to me the time period of 40 minutes, and showed me a draft to prove that you were painting from scratch, for fear that I would give the police false information afterwards.

"And you're doing all this to convince people that you were in front of me when the art was taken from me, so there could be no time to commit a crime. This is your alibi trickery. ”

The detective's tirade resounded throughout the battlefield.

"On the basis of this alone, you have linked me to this case?" Arti raised half of her eyebrows.

I don't know if he has accepted his fate, he no longer excuses himself at this time, but calms down a lot, and asks the detective with great interest: "Have you figured out what happened in that art museum?"

The detective did not answer immediately, but slowly raised his arms, and a few fingers danced nimbly in the air, as if fiddling with an invisible stick.

This is what Hugo did in the police station!

Miss Serra, who was on the side, immediately recalled the scene at noon when the detective was distracted in the interrogation room. It turned out that it was not a subconscious childish action, and she was slightly surprised - could it be that this was also related to the case?

"Mr. Yati, you don't stop pointing your brush in my direction as you paint. This technique is generally used by the painter to copy the size of the naked eye onto the canvas in order to determine the proportions of the objects in the picture. But according to the information you just deduced, you have already practiced on that scenery many times, and you are even fully capable of writing down that scenery silently.

"I couldn't help but wonder – do you really need that ruler? Could it be that you're reaching for some other reason to put your fingers and brushes up to the sky? ”

"Alas, I surrendered and completely surrendered. Really brilliant reasoning. Arti smiled bitterly and shook his head, while raising his hands flat, "Hugo Detective Agency?" I've lived in Feiyun City for so long, and I've never heard of your famous detective's name. ”

"It is impossible to see the essence with the naked eye." The detective punned meaningfully, "As an artist who plays with worm silk, you must know something new to this." ”

"Oh! I see! ”

At this time, Serra finally reacted, and the invisible thing in the air that Hugo said was insect silk!

Mr. Arti's nanny worm can spit out different colors of insect silk depending on the food, but in addition to the white, brownish-red, light yellow, and lake blue insect silk, which are visible to the naked eye, there are no transparent colorless insect silks?

The silk thread of the nanny insect is naturally transparent!

The worm silk produced by Pokémon is exceptionally strong, and the main elven nanny worm of Mr. Yati, the insect expert. Maybe it's possible to pull a large truck with just one worm silk!

The bench where Hugo was located was opposite the Feiyun Art Museum, and Yati stood in front of the detective, and across the street behind it was the Feiyun Art Museum!

Therefore, as long as the silk threads connected to each other are set up in advance, even if Mr. Yati has his back to the museum, he can still affect the things in the museum!

"Although there is no surveillance in this small gallery-turned-museum, if you look into the nearby street cameras, you may be able to see Mr. Yati sneaking into the museum last night. Judging by the fact that you are so immature to deal with the search now, Mr. Yati, you probably didn't have the slightest preparation for this......"

Hugo shook his head, the suspect who committed the crime this time was neither noisy nor noisy, and An An listened to his reasoning, which made the detective quite enjoyable.

"But Hugo, even if the owner of the Arte Museum had connected a few threads to the works inside the museum, how did he tear all four paintings together? You've also been to the scene of the crime, and the mess in that place can't be done with a few thin wires. ”

Although Yati has shown that he is willing to turn himself in, Serra is still a little puzzled about the case.

"The Four Virtues is Mr. Yati's debut work, and he has been using insect silk since that time. And the silk thread material has a common feature - that is, as long as you master the method and skill, you can re-untie it as it is. ”

"Untie?"

"Yes, it's like pulling a thread and tearing a sweater into a pile of yarn, as the creator of the work, Arti can easily find the thread of his own painting, and then destroy his painting slowly and quickly as if he were tearing down a chain domino."

Hugo stretched out his hand to make a pull, looked at the owner defiantly, smiled with a wicked smile that exposed the sore spots, and continued—

"Mr. Yati connected the doors of those works with the silk threads outside, and then when he painted in the morning, he used his brush to paint the picture of me and the little flame monkey sitting on the bench, and at the same time pulled the transparent silk threads, causing all the paintings in the museum to fall apart!"

"Why is that?"

The police officer was stunned by the absurd scene that the detective recreated: "Mr. Yati, why did you destroy your painting like this? ”

In Serra's questioning, the insect pavilion owner who was full of artistic temperament suddenly sneered-

"Does an artist need a reason to destroy his work? Many people think that art is noble, great, and priceless, but in the eyes of the artists who created them, the so-called works of art are nothing more than miscellaneous things to be disposed of. ”
