Chapter 48 fourth quarter

As a result of meeting with reporter Jinji from Yijuin, he got a new question. Originally, he wanted to find a clue to solve this incident, but he thought that what he got was a new question. However, this new question may also be a clue. Yabe considers investigating what Kohei Tajima drew the day before the incident. From the words "completed today", it can be seen that he has a deadline for painting. Yabe recalled that in the diary of Tajima Mariko, Tajima Kohei mentioned that he went to Izu to sketch from nature. Tajima Yukihei was asked by the magazine to go to Izu to sketch from life. It must be completed, probably referring to sketching?

Yabe called F Corporation, which asked Yukihei Tajima to go to Izu to sketch, and someone answered the phone immediately. "It is indeed me who asked Mr. Tajima to go to Izu to sketch." The other party said. "Is there something wrong with that painting?" "No, no, I just want to know the date you received the painting, is it the day of the incident?" "Event?" The other party asked after asking. "No, it was received four days before Mr. Tajima's death." "Four days ago? Was it really four days ago?" "Yes. Since Mr. Tajima delivered it personally, I remember it very clearly."

The other party said in a confident tone, he had to convince him that the painting in question was not an Izu sketch. After thanking the other party, Yabe hung up the phone. The mystery is still not solved, but it must be resolved. Maybe he was personally asked to paint?Yabe thought so, but the possibility was very low, because when he and his wife had a marriage change, he should not be in the mood to accept a private commission to paint. In this way, Yabe thought of two possibilities, one is that Tajima Kohei is scheduled to hold a solo exhibition?The second is that the "Xin Jihui" to which he belongs wants to hold an exhibition, and he must complete his works to participate in the exhibition.As for the second point, as long as you meet with the chairman of the Shinji Association, Yoshikawa Miro, you will definitely get the answer.

Yabe decided to meet Yoshikawa Sanro in order to inquire about painting, Tajima Kohei, and Iseki Kazuhiko. Sanyo Yoshikawa's home is in Denenchofu. Yoshikawa's house is about two hundred square meters, and it is a very magnificent mansion. Standing at the entrance made of marble, Yabe thought that it would be easy for a painter to make money, right? As soon as he entered the entrance, Yabe was greeted by two Tosa dogs first, and Yabe remembered that Sanyo Yoshikawa liked dogs.As soon as the dog disappeared, a tall young man appeared. The young man took Yabe to a Western-style reception room. The stove was burning brightly. Yabe sat down on the sofa covered with Zano and waited for Miyo Yoshikawa.

Yoshikawa walked into the reception room wearing a bright red sweater. His white hair matched the red sweater very well. Although he was fifty-six years old, he still looked young and had a ruddy complexion. A picture of the waiter's shoulder. "An art exhibition?" After Yoshikawa sat down on the sofa, he was smoking a cigarette, a foreign one. "Only Dongrihui will hold an art exhibition in November, and Dongrihui has nothing to do with this association." "Does Kohei Tajima plan to hold a solo exhibition?" "I haven't heard of it. Tajima only held a solo exhibition in spring, and I haven't heard that there will be an exhibition in autumn." Yoshikawa Miro said calmly.

Yabe was a little disappointed because he still had no way of knowing what Kohei Tajima had drawn the day before the incident.Yabe changed his mind. Although the word "complete" is naturally reminiscent of painting, the work that can be expressed by "complete" is not only painting, sculpture and photography can also be used. "Apart from painting, did Kohei Tajima engage in sculpture or photography?" "I haven't heard of it." Sanyo Yoshikawa immediately denied. "Tajima-kun doesn't have that talent." Yabe had to believe what Yoshikawa said, because he had not received reports of finding carving tools and photographic equipment in Tajima Kohei's studio and study.

However, doubts still linger in his heart.On the day before the incident, what did Kohei Tajima want to accomplish?Could it be Ijiin Shinkichi talking nonsense?
