Chapter 56
The police were busy collecting evidence, taking photos, protecting the scene and recording confessions everywhere. After hearing Xia Ri tell the story of the cause and effect of the case, Officer Megu couldn't help but look at Xia Ri with admiration.
In the eyes of Officer Megumi, Xia Ri was just a smart assistant under Kogoro Mouri, but now he can actually solve a case independently, which really saved the police a lot of manpower, material resources and trouble.
"Thank you so hard!" Megumi's fat and rough hand was held in Xia Ri's hand and kept shaking, "I am worthy of being Brother Maori's assistant. It's indeed an excellent detective. This time I really saved us a lot of time!"
"hehe……"
Xia Ri's mouth twitched, and she didn't know how to explain it. It seemed that his identity as Kogoro Mouri's assistant was confirmed in the eyes of outsiders and could not be changed.
"I'm not a helper... Oh... forget it..." Xia Ri shook her head and sighed, and then said, "This is a tragedy after all. If possible, I would rather not have this happen."
As the saying goes, "I'm familiar with each other again and again." Because it's not the first time I've met, Xia Ri and Officer Megu quickly became familiar with each other.
Xia Ri still has a good impression of this fat police officer, but about Xia Ri, Officer Meguri thought more.
After all, from all kinds of signs (mind-up), her most capable female subordinate Mikako Sato is likely to be dating this young man. From this point alone, Officer Meguru has to look at Xia Ri differently.
However, when I think of Mikako Sato, Officer Memu couldn't help but feel a pity. After all, compared to the young man in front of me, Officer Memu always thought that his other subordinate, Takagi, might be more suitable for Sato.
...
After returning to his home in Tokyo, he had no time to rest and adjust his slightly tired body in summer, because next, he would take his works to participate in the exhibition review of the Mikacho Art Museum.
After all, compared to detectives, this is his real life.
At this time, there are not many days before the museum's deadline.
Several oil paintings are completely dry, but before they are sent out, they need to deal with moisture-proof, moldy and discoloration in summer. Finally, they have to be framed. In this way, the oil paintings are truly completed.
Everything is going on in an orderly manner.
After everything was over, it was already the third morning. Xia Ri drove to the building of the Rice Flower Art Museum with two works.
The Mihua Art Museum is located in the center of Mihua Town. It is not too far from the summer home. It covers a large area and the building is built with a very modern artistic atmosphere. However, the only drawback is that there are not many tourists coming and going to visit.
As soon as I entered the art gallery, an air conditioner air conditioner came to me.
Xia Ri found the registration office, paid a large amount of fees, and under the guidance of a staff member, he found another person in charge of the review.
"Hello, I am the person in charge of this exhibition event. My name is Iijima. Please take care of me."
Iijima looks very young and should be similar to Sumiri. He has a square face, he has a middle-legged face, looks pretty, wearing a suit and smiling face, and he looks like a very easy-to-dealer.
"Hello, I'm Suri." While Xia Ri spoke, she handed the pre-printed registration form and information to Iijima.
Iijima took the document, read it briefly, and then nodded.
"Mr. Xia Ri, your registration number is 52. The two registration works are "White Castle" and "Daisy". If it is confirmed correctly, please bring these two works with me."
Xia Ri has prepared carefully for so long, so it is already ready, but to be on the safe side, he still checked it out.
"No problem, let's go."
Upon hearing this, Iijima turned around and led Suzaki to another small solicitation hall.
This solicitation hall is not very big, but it is brightly lit. There are many paintings hanging on the display wall around it. The styles are all related to the medieval themes this time.
In front of these works, there were a group of people with different expressions, both men, women, and young. They pointed to these paintings and commented on them, all of which were like masters and experts.
"This exhibition hall was specially vacated for this exhibition." Iijima signaled to Xia Ri to look at the paintings on the wall and introduced him, "These hanging paintings have passed the review and meet the regulations. If your works can also be passed smoothly, you can hang the paintings on the wall and accept the exhibition like them."
Looking around the exhibition hall in summer, he found that the quality of these paintings was uneven and of all levels, and most of the works could only be evaluated by the 'painted very average'.
Can such works pass the review?
Xia Ri sighed in her heart. It seemed that he thought too high about the level of this exhibition.
After all, those who can come here to participate in the exhibition cannot be those real masters of painting. People like them have been famous for a long time and have gained both fame and fortune, so they will not attend such small exhibitions at all.
Only those newcomers like Summer, or frustrated people who have been struggling for many years and still have no improvement, can participate in the exhibition of such a town-level art museum.
Seeing that Xia Ri didn't speak, Iijima thought he was shocked by this scene. He smiled dismissively and pointed to a table not far away.
"Mr. Xiali, please put your work there now. I'm going to start the review."
Xia Ri nodded, opened the protective packaging of the two paintings, took out the two paintings, and placed them carefully on the table.
Seeing Summer's cautious appearance, Iijima couldn't help but feel funny and thought he was too much of a problem. However, when Iijima put on white gloves and walked to the table and saw the painting, the two paintings on the table couldn't help but make his eyes shine.
"this……"
The so-called layman watching the excitement, while the expert watching the tricks is different from the previous ones, Oda Katsuki and Kakutani Hiroki, as Iijima, who deals with artworks every day, naturally can see the exquisiteness of these two paintings at a glance.
Whether in terms of composition, brushstroke or color, these two paintings reflect the creator's sophistication and solid foundation. What's even more valuable is that after a long time of careful reading, Iijima never found any flaws or found any faults.
This kind of painting technique is not like a novice at all, but rather like a master with sharp edges!
I really found a treasure this time!
Iijima suppressed his slightly surging mood and turned his head to look at Xia Ri in surprise. He could not imagine that these two exquisite paintings were actually from such a young man!
It's so awesome...
