"Believe it or not, I'll kill him now, and hand over the painting quickly!"

Morris roared at Lin Xiuyi with an impatient face. Lin Xiuyi ignored him. Judging from what he observed upstairs just now, among Mr. Morris and Ms. Guzawa, it was Ms. Guzawa who played a decisive role. So Lin Xiu turned his attention to Ms. Gu Ze.

"It's really surprising, Ms. Guzawa! Although I had a hunch that unfortunate incidents would happen again because of that "Love Letter", I didn't expect that behind all this there are people like you. Such a woman planned..."

Lin Xiuyi said calmly to Ms. Guze that he put his hands behind his back and tried to make repeated calls to the police. As long as the phone can be connected, the situation will naturally be greatly reversed.

"Oh? So... Now I want to ask, is that painting in your hands?"

Ms. Gu Ze didn't have the patience to go around with Lin Xiu, and now she was most concerned about the whereabouts of the painting. So the first thing she has to do is to determine whose hands the painting belongs to.

"That painting is now being safely kept by my companions. If you want it, you'd better do it according to the conditions I said, otherwise, I will not give it to you..."

Lin Xiuyi responded firmly to Ms. Gu Ze. When Ms. Gu Ze heard his words, she just smiled and didn't take Lin Xiuyi's threat to heart.

"Officer Lin, I think you'd better do as I say, after all, your friend is in our hands now, I don't think you'd be willing to just watch Mr. Asai die innocently and tragically in front of you. Come on! Stop talking nonsense and hand over that painting quickly..."

Ms. Gu Ze gave Lin Xiu an order unceremoniously. She did not believe that a policeman would watch his opponent's hostages be killed and remain indifferent.

"Okay...that painting...I can give it to you, but there is one thing I want to ask you. What kind of charm does a painting that has been destroyed can make you sad and sick. such a realm..."

"Haha...are you thinking about stalling? Or...are you wondering if we'll actually kill Asai?"

Ms. Gu Ze shook her head and smiled, Lin Xiuyi's little thought could not be concealed from her eyes.

"Looks like I guessed right, that painting is really weird! Oh... yes, although I don't know anything about art, I asked a friend about Western painting out of curiosity before. I heard that the Western painting method is to draw sketches with pencil first, and then start to color with oil. Sometimes, even because the creator's idea has changed, they will directly draw on the already drawn works. A completely different piece of work."

"It is said that behind the classic "Mona Lisa Smile" by Leonardo da Vinci, there are actually four completely different works. Leonardo first created a portrait draft directly on the drawing board, and then based on the draft He painted a "Portrait with Pearl Hair", and then recreated a "Lisa Gladini" on that painting, which is very similar to "Mona Lisa's Smile". Until Finally, Leonardo da Vinci created "Mona Lisa's Smile" based on "Lisa Gladini" again, so I am a little curious, what is behind the work of "Love Letter" ?"

Hearing Lin Xiuyi's sudden remarks, the expressions of Ms. Gu Ze and Mr. Morris suddenly changed, and they couldn't help showing a trace of panic.

Seeing his opponent suddenly showing a surprised expression, Lin Xiuyi immediately understood that he should have guessed correctly. As I said just now, behind the mysterious "Love Letter", there is actually another piece of work hidden.

"Then, if my guess just now is correct, it means that there is indeed an unknown work hidden behind the "Love Letter". What is it? It is really curious!"

"It's okay to tell you, it's Rembrandt... it's a draft of Rembrandt's self-portrait, but what if you know this..."

Ms. Gu Ze quickly regained her composure. Although she was a little surprised that Lin Xiuyi guessed that there was actually another mystery behind the "Love Letter", she did not think it would pose any threat to her advantage.

"Oh... it turns out to be Rembrandt's work... No wonder you are so persistent. Please forgive my ignorance. I don't know how much such a work is worth?"

"Since you already know, I think I'll just say it more clearly. Even if this work is traded on the black market, the market value will exceed 30 million US dollars. However... This portrait is about to survive the theft safely. The retrospective period of the artwork is over, as long as we wait a few more weeks, we can openly sell this work on the market. At that time, the price of this work will be more than tripled..."

When they said this, Ms. Guze and Mr. Morris couldn't help showing a frenzy in their eyes. The reason why they were willing to tell Lin Xiuyi the truth was because they were worried that Lin Xiuyi would really destroy that piece of work in a fit of anger. If it will be worth more than 100 million US dollars in a few weeks, will Lin Xiuyi still have the heart to destroy this painting?

"No wonder? No wonder you are willing to kill people to get this painting... Hundreds of millions of dollars~lightnovelpub.net~ is really an attractive sum of money! Then there is a legend about the cursed work of "Love Letter" , I must have something to do with the two of you!"

Lin Xiuyi quietly led the topic to the curse. Since the other party was willing to talk to him a few more words, he naturally wanted to find an opportunity to reveal the secret.

"Hey, Officer Lin, why don't we make a deal? You hand over that piece of work, and we'll share the money equally. This is Rembrandt's self-portrait worth hundreds of millions of dollars, don't you really? Are you excited?"

"Oh...you actually thought about me, so...what are you going to do with Mr. Asai?"

"Is he? He's just a self-righteous guy who claims to be a collector of Western paintings, but he doesn't even see Rembrandt's works lying under his nose. I think this kind of idiot should be killed. Well... Anyway, there is still a crazy murderer hidden in this villa. I believe that with your help, Mr. Police, we can properly handle everything here, as long as we disguise the scene as someone who has been robbed. It looks good, after all, there are so many Western paintings here, it is inevitable that people will not miss them..."

Ms. Gu Ze suddenly approached Lin Xiuyi with a kind attitude.
