Chapter 26 third chapter

"Didn't it be stolen by a thief?" "No, oh, it was stolen by a thief. But an envelope was found near the magazine office this morning, and the work was in the envelope. The envelope was placed in the trash can, and the photos and negatives were there. Maybe the thief thought it was some valuables , I opened it and saw it was a photo of a bridge, so I threw it away because it wasn’t anything valuable. Such an excellent work is not worth a penny in the eyes of a thief, he really has no eyes!” Taguchi laughed triumphantly , "It scares me!" "What about my work?"

"Print immediately! Don't worry, there are five works and one negative!" Nan Yuan also breathed a sigh of relief.Although there are five works, it is not easy to shoot. After Namhara finished filming the Shirasu Bridge, he went to Okinawa, which he had wanted to go for a long time, on the same day.Such active running shows his youthful vigor. What he is interested in is not the main island of Okinawa, which has been "indiscriminately" developed by tourism and development, but Iriomote Island, which has not been "vigorously" developed.It is very famous for its virgin forest and red coral.He intends to stay there for half a month.

He returned to Tokyo at the end of June with a tanned skin all over his body. The August issue of "Camera Japan" is already on the streets. Namhara bought a copy at Haneda Airport and eagerly opened it on the bus. On a page of the "13th "Camera·Japan" Photography Grand Prix", the huge Chinese characters read: Nan Yuan browsed through his works with some embarrassment. As expected of an established magazine, the printing quality is very good.This also reflects their respect for the author, and many works have also become opportunities for publishers to print and distribute postcards through public publication.

Those five photos were published on the second page.The effect was as Namhara expected. He smiled happily, but re-watched it two or three times. "what?" He suspected that he was wrong, and he didn't know where there was something strange. At first he didn't know what was strange about these five photos, but after a closer look, he found that one of the five photos was not his own. So he immediately went to the "Camera Japan" magazine to find Taguchi. When Taguchi saw that Minamihara was holding the August issue in his hand, he asked with a smile: "You saw it too? Is this arrangement good?"

"It's okay. But one of them isn't mine." "how is this possible!?" Taguchi flicked through the August issue of the magazine. "What's wrong with these five photos?" "This one, the fourth one." Nan Yuan pointed and said. This photo titled "4pm" is a view of Shirahige Bridge at sunset.Next to the Baixu Bridge, a couple is clearing up the tables of the barbecue restaurant, ready to open.There are also a few pedestrians who are crossing the Shirahida Bridge, the same Shirahida Bridge that they cross in the morning and at night, but the people passing through are obviously different.

"This one is yours. I looked at it several times when I checked the proof. It's yours! That's right!" Taguchi insisted.But Nanyuan still tilted his head and said puzzledly: "It looks very much like mine. I didn't notice it at first, but I saw it when I looked closely. It is similar to the location of the barbecue restaurant and Baixu Bridge I photographed, but it is still different. The method is different. , This is not my technique!" "Wait... wait a minute!" Taguchi hurriedly took out the envelope from the filing cabinet. Inside the envelope with the name of the magazine is the five collected photos and negatives of Namwon.The negatives have all been cut.Taguchi laid them out on the table:

"I think these are yours." "One is not." As Nanyuan said, he found one of them. In his opinion, this is a very good photo, with a good composition and a good shutter speed.But it is not Namwon's work.Although it looks like his shot, it's not his. "I didn't take this picture, and the negatives aren't mine." "I don't understand that." Taguchi looked at the photos in confusion: "You said it wasn't yours. What's going on? Who did the prank?" "I do not know either." "Can you confirm again, is there really a solicitation work that was not sent by you?"

"Yes, no." "Then who will replace it?" "I think so too. I think someone took a picture of Shirabeshi Bridge too and only put one in?" "No, you are the only one who sent the photo of Shirahiku Bridge." "So the thief stole my photo and only changed one?" "yes." Taguchi nodded, but immediately tilted his head in confusion and said: "But why did this thief go to such trouble to change one? If he is jealous of your election, why don't he just throw it away? But he just changed one. He must have put it in front of the magazine so that we can find it. But change it The one you got is not bad either!"

"Yes, it's a good picture. But it's not the same way I did it. Technically it's probably better than mine." "That's right. So I didn't realize that it was changed, so I sent it to the printing house for publication. I'm the editor-in-chief, so I'm really sorry." Taguchi bowed his head and saluted, "But the magazine can't be taken back after it's published, and it's hard to check. It's quite troublesome. We can't say that the selected works are wrong. How about we correct them in the next issue?" Nanyuan smiled at Taguchi's troubled look:

"I don't think it's necessary. I just told you because I thought it was strange. Of course, I always feel that way when I publish a work that is not my own. But it seems to be something of force majeure. I am not protesting, so there is no It needs to be corrected, so be it!" "I'm relieved when you say that!" Taguchi finally smiled, "I don't know who did such a thing!" "I'm interested in that too." Said Nanyuan looked at the negative again. In my memory, it is almost exactly the same as the photos I took, and even the film used is from the same company.

Why does the thief need to change one?
