A few days later……

Lin Xiuyi drove his car alone on the mountain road leading to Xiwu Village. At the same time, he kept propping his forehead with his hands, showing a weak look.

Since the last time he accidentally fell into the sea, Lin Xiuyi really fell ill again. First he had a high fever, and then he finally recovered, so he rested at home for a few days. Lin Xiuyi didn't remember this matter until yesterday, when Yuan Zhizhu called him to ask him if he wanted to attend the small art exhibition held by the owner of the Xiwu Mountain Villa, Koichi Asai.

Strange to say, when they first came to Xiwu Mountain Villa, Lin Xiuyi and Yuan Zhizhu thought that the owner of the place, Mr. Asai, had been kidnapped, but later, as the incident developed, Lin Xiuyi's investigation instead focused on Among the three accidental incidents related to the painting "Love Letter", it was these three incidents that thoroughly made the "Love Letter" famous in the collection world.

"Ah!"

Lin Xiu held the steering wheel with one hand, and suddenly saw a little bit of rain dripping from the car window. He raised his head and looked at the sky through his car window, but found that the sky was gloomy, and it seemed that a rainstorm was brewing.

"It won't be so unlucky!"

Lin Xiuyi sighed inwardly, and then increased the accelerator to increase the speed a bit. If you encounter heavy rain on the mountain road, it can be really dangerous.

The cold autumn rain suddenly fell, causing the temperature in the mountain to drop a little more. Lin Xiuyi, who was just recovering from a serious illness, couldn't help but sneezed a few times. Feeling bad, he hurriedly turned on the heater in the car, hoping that he would not do it again. Sick, but fortunately, he can now see the imposing building on the mountainside.

When Lin Xiuyi drove his car into the gate of Xiwu Mountain Villa, he saw that the inner road that had been a little empty when he came last time was actually full of all kinds of limousines. It looked like It's a luxury car show.

"Officer Lin!"

When Lin Xiuyi got out of the car, he looked up and saw Mr. Shibata, the housekeeper here.

"Mr. Shibata, am I late!"

"Ah... No, you just came here. The guests are in the lobby on the first floor, and Mr. Yuan has already entered!"

"Oh, all right!"

After Lin Xiu finished speaking, he nodded to Mr. Butler, and then walked towards the house step by step on the damp stone road. When he entered the room, as soon as he opened the door, many guests in the room looked at him in unison.

"Xiu Yi-kun, why are you here so late?"

"Sorry, Inspector, there was a heavy rain on the way, so there was a delay, but luckily I wasn't late!"

"Jizhu-kun, this gentleman is..."

"Ah... Asai-senpai, this is the elite of the Metropolitan Police Department that I mentioned to you, Lin Shuichi! Shuichi-kun, this is the owner of this place, Mr. Asai, who is also my senior in college..."

Lin Xiuyi looked at the middle-aged man with extraordinary temperament in front of him. He was about forty years old, and he seemed to have an extraordinary temperament. He was wearing an elegant dress with a silk bow tie around his neck. If it wasn't for Yuan Zhizhu's initiative to introduce him, Lin Xiuyi would have thought that the person standing in front of him was an elegant official.

"Mr. Asai, I'm very grateful for your invitation. It's the first time we meet, please give me your advice!"

"Officer Lin, thank you and Zhizhu-Jun for your relationship with me. You've been working hard during the days I've been away. That... do you want to drink something first, there are some aperitifs over there..."

Asai Gongyi said hello to Lin Xiuyi.

Asai Gongyi greeted Lin Xiu a few times, and then left. Lin Xiuyi and Yuan Zhizhu stood together, carefully looking at the guests attending the party.

After all, this is the first time that Lin Xiuyi has participated in such a private event in the name of art. Last time, the living room where the sofa was placed was cleaned up and turned into a small art exhibition hall. The walls were covered with some works that Lin Xiuyi had not seen last time, and in the lower right corner of these works were marked similar Basic information about the author, the time of creation, and the background of creation.

"Does the Ombudsman often participate in similar events?"

"Not very often, but occasionally I receive similar invitations. The main purpose of this kind of private exhibition is to provide collectors with an opportunity to communicate with each other. If anyone sees a certain work here today , you can slowly negotiate with the owner here, or exchange money or your own works for your beloved works."

Yuan Zhizhu covered her mouth and came close to Lin Xiuyi's ear and explained to him in a low voice. Lin Xiu nodded knowingly, then he followed Lin Xiuyi's side and slowly visited the paintings in the living room.

These guests in the hall gathered in groups of three and two, and talked with each other about some issues that Lin Xiuyi did not understand. Many of these guests were foreigners, and Lin Xiu was a little surprised, but thinking that this gathering was related to Western painting, Lin Xiuyi also understood.

Lin Xiuyi and Yuan Zhizhu circled around the living room, and soon discovered the "Love Letter" that they had been investigating these days. When it was marked as unknown, suddenly, a woman's voice came from behind.

"Officer Yuan, Officer Lin, stay safe!"

Lin Xiuyi and Yuan Zhizhu hurriedly turned around, only to find that behind them was indeed the artistic director of Asai Gallery, Ms. Furusawa.

"Ms. Furusawa, stay safe, are you also here to assist President Asai in entertaining guests?"

"Well... These guests are all collectors invited by President Asai from Europe. Because they are all distinguished guests from afar, and I know a little bit of French and German, Mr. President brought me here~ lightnovelpub.net~How are you, gentlemen, do you need any service for you?"

Ms. Furusawa asked Lin Xiuyi and Yuan Zhizhu with a smile.

"Ah... You are being too polite. We are looking at this painting. The woman in the painting is really elusive!"

"Oh...then I have to ask, what kind of elusive one is it?"

"At first glance, the woman in the painting looks like an angel, but upon closer inspection, especially the intriguing smile, reveals a hint of evil, I really don't know what the author is trying to express... …”

"Oh... it seems that Mr. Lin has a unique opinion on this work!"

"But then again, Ms. Guze, why are all the servants we saw last time gone?"

Lin Xiuyi frowned, glanced at the hall and asked.
