Chapter 574 Continuous moves
  "I understand the situation, thank you for your cooperation."

After Tangze thanked the other party, he changed the topic to small talk: "I heard that Mr. Onishi is very skilled in oil painting. Were all the paintings on the wall of the studio painted by Mr. Onishi?
  It’s really good. I saw that some of the works even have awards hanging on them, which is really impressive. "

"you flatter me."

Onishi Kenji was not proud when he heard Karasawa's praise, but said with some emotion: "People say that things are impermanent, and I understand it deeply.

Who would have thought that in the first half of my life, oil painting was just a hobby, but in the second half of my life, it was a skill that I relied on to survive..."

"Yes, life is like a game from which there is no turning back. No matter whether it is good or bad, we have to accept it." Tang Ze also sighed and agreed, as if he understood it deeply.

But in fact, all this is just acting.

To be honest, it is difficult for Karasawa to understand Kenji Onishi's emotion. After all, even if he understands things that he does not empathize with, there is a layer of film between them, and he cannot feel it personally.

But this does not prevent Karasawa from pretending. This is also a testimony technique to close the relationship with strangers.

Accompany the other person to reminisce about that "lost" era, echo the other person's words from time to time, and then agree with the other person's words, and the atmosphere will become more harmonious.

Afterwards, Karasawa made a request to see the paintings, and asked Onishi Kenji to take him to the studio to see his works.

After all, this is another A-level skill of Karasawa. He also has his own unique insights into oil painting, and the atmosphere is even warmer than before.

It can be said that the two of them hit it off immediately, hated each other for a long time, and respected each other... ah...

In short, the atmosphere is very harmonious on the surface and it looks like they are having a great conversation, but in reality only the parties involved know what is going on.

After a visit, Karasawa said goodbye to Onishi Kenji and returned to the car, sitting in the driver's seat and meditating.

He really didn't expect to gain anything by asking questions. If he wasn't the prisoner, he would definitely gain nothing. If he was the prisoner, he probably wouldn't tell the truth.

And he doesn't need to rely on questioning. When he visits the other party, he has actually activated his super-smell sense. Questioning just buys him time to make sure.

Unfortunately, nothing was found.

Even when the two of them went to the studio later, Tangze didn't smell the same paint as the one used on the fake.

On the surface, Kenji Onishi seems not to be involved in this case at all, but Karasawa will not rely too much on his sense of smell. Even if no clues are found, he still does not rule out the other party completely from the case.

It's better that after this visit, the suspicion in Tang Ze's heart became more serious.

First of all, you need to know that this project back then was invested by Kenji Onishi, but it was not a particularly big project. Not to mention that everyone knew about it, I am afraid that very few people knew about this research.

Except for relevant people, I am afraid that no one will pay attention to such a failed study.

This means that the people who know this stuff are limited to a very small range, and there is not such a large base at all.

The reason why Karasawa suspected Onishi Kenji was because of another important point.

Don't forget, in this plan of "civet cat for prince", counterfeiting is also a very important part of the plan.

As a fake that replaces the real thing, it obviously needs to be able to look like the real thing. At least you have to make sure that you can't tell the real thing from the fake one with the naked eye. This is considered qualified. Therefore, if you want to complete this plan, an indispensable part is to find a highly skilled "gunman" to copy, and you need someone who is reliable and can completely keep secrets.

And Onishi Kenji perfectly meets this condition. His painting skills are definitely A-level, which Karasawa has confirmed through previous visits to the paintings to exchange experiences.

Of course, this doesn't mean anything. After all, there are many people studying this profession, and there are also many people who are good at painting. You can find suitable shooters anywhere to complete this step.

But Onishi Kenji was a painter who had a relationship with Director Hashiyama, and even his art museum was purchased from Onishi Kenji.

Knowing that there is such a pigment that can age quickly, and my own superb painting skills, I contacted the curator Qiaoshan again.

If these three points are taken separately, many people may meet the conditions, but currently only Onishi Kenji is the one who can meet these three conditions!
  If Onishi Kenji and Director Hashiyama colluded, then everything would be easily solved, but unfortunately there is no evidence now, everything is just Karasawa's speculation.

But it doesn't matter, because Tang Ze caught them off guard at the beginning.

As for the rest, just wait patiently.

After starting the car, Tang Ze did not rush home first, but went to buy some ingredients to prepare dinner.

It was time to get off work next, and it would take some time for him to verify his conjecture.

the next day.

At three o'clock in the morning, two young people, Karasawa and Ayako, who had stayed up late yesterday, lazily got up and started washing up.

Breakfast is much simpler than before. Ayako bought freshly baked bread yesterday when she was shopping. She only needs to heat it and mix it with a cup of hot milk to make today's breakfast.

Golden sunlight shone from the window, and the two of them sat opposite each other and ate breakfast quietly. Although they didn't speak, there was no embarrassment. Instead, they created a quiet and harmonious scene that no one could bear to disturb.

But the more peaceful the atmosphere is, the harder it is to last. Just like in movies, there will always be various accidents that break the tranquility and cause the plot to jump to the next link.

And this time was no exception. Just as Karasawa and Ayako were leisurely eating breakfast, a rapid ringing sound came from their mobile phones.

Along with Yuanzi's slightly panicked voice, Tang Ze received bad news. After appraisal by experts from Mao Xiong Country, the painting "Mirror Lake" in the art museum was authentic! ! "

After receiving this news, Tang Ze said "I'll be there soon" without any change in his expression, then hung up the phone and stood up to change his clothes.

"I will go with you."

Ayako, who was sitting next to Karasawa, actually heard the news reported by her sister. After drinking all the milk, she quickly stood up and changed clothes, and set off to the art museum with Karasawa.

But what he didn't expect was that before he had even taken two steps after getting off the car at the art museum, a large group of reporters ran towards Karasawa like hunting dogs that smelled meat.

"I can't tell that this opponent has some tricks up his sleeve and knows how to use this method to cause me trouble."

Looking at the huge battle in front of him, Tang Ze raised his eyebrows in surprise, then smiled meaningfully and said, "It's just a pity that I picked the wrong opponent."
