Tokyo Police

Vol 17 Chapter 36: door-to-door survey

"Good morning, Director!"

"Good morning, Yamada-kun, come to my house and wait for me downstairs early in the morning. It's really hard for you!"

"There, I can follow the director every day. I don't know how many people envy me! So... are we going to the police station now?"

"Uh... Yamada-kun, can you take me to this place to see..."

As soon as Lin Xiu finished speaking, he handed the address he got from the injured driver yesterday to Daisuke Yamada from the back row. m

"Eh... Jun Art Museum in Roppongi! I'm sorry, I don't know this place, but... if you navigate, you should be able to find it!"

"Oh...thank you so much, Yamada-kun!"

...

When Yamada learned from Lin Xiuyi that he was going to an art museum in Roppongi today, Yamada entered the address that Lin Xiuyi gave him in the on-board navigation system, and soon the on-board system was planned. After finding an optimal route, Yamada Daisuke browsed the route roughly, then started the car, and then drove Lin Xiuyi towards the Xun Art Museum.

After more than half an hour, when the car slowly stopped at a parking space on Roppongi Street, Lin Xiuyi declined Yamada's plan to go with him, and then picked up a car from the back seat. The exquisite box, step by step, walked towards the Xun Art Museum across the road.

"Welcome. Excuse me... is this your first time at the Xun Art Museum?"

"Uh... Hey! Uh... I have a pottery bowl here. If possible, I would like to ask you to help me identify it. Excuse me... Is it okay?"

"Hey...then please wait here for a while, and I'll go and call the store manager for you!"

"Ah...that's work!"

When Lin Xiuyi was arranged by the store staff to sit on the sofa beside him, the other party first brought Lin Xiuyi a glass of lemonade, then turned to say goodbye to Lin Xiuyi and left the exhibition hall. At this time, Lin Xiuyi was able to take a careful look at the layout of the art gallery. I saw an art museum transformed from a small store at this time. Although it is said to be an art museum, it is actually a small store mainly selling commodities, but there is a large space for each commodity to be arranged here. , in addition to ceramics, this art gallery seems to also deal in wrought iron works and lighting. At first glance, the house does not have the cramped feeling of a small store full of goods, but instead gives a sense of emptiness like lingering in an art gallery.

"I'm so sorry. I've kept you waiting for a long time. I'm the store manager He Dongxing here. Excuse me... Is there anything I can help you with?"

Just as Lin Xiuyi was looking at the furnishings in the store, a young man who looked to be in his thirties and dressed in fashion suddenly came to Lin Xiuyi's side accompanied by the clerk just now, and then took the initiative to ask Lin Xiuyi. Asked about the need.

"Ah... I'm sorry, I took the liberty to visit, in fact, it was mainly because I received a pottery bowl as a gift from a friend a while ago, and I unexpectedly learned that it seemed to be bought from you, so... I will I would like to ask you to take a look, did the pottery bowl come from you?"

"Eh? So that's the case, then... Excuse me... Can I take a look at this pottery bowl?"

"Uh... hey, of course!"

As soon as Lin Xiu heard that the other party was willing to provide convenience, he couldn't wait to open the exquisite box that he had brought, and then took out the pottery bowl that Akio Kuroda had given him from the box, and put it gently on it. on the coffee table.

"Oh... it's really a beautiful pottery bowl, it looks... it should be made by hand..."

While talking, the store manager He Dong gently picked up the bowl, and then pointed to the pattern on it and said seriously to Lin Xiuyi.

"So...is this pottery bowl sold from you?"

Seeing that the other party seemed to see some ways, Lin Xiuyi couldn't restrain his excitement, and then took the initiative to ask questions. After hearing Lin Xiuyi's question, Manager He Dong thought for a while, and then he was a little uncertain. Lin Xiuyi said:

"That...although I'm not completely sure, but I can basically assume that this pottery bowl was not sold from us...if I guess correctly, the person who made this pottery bowl should be in Xiwu Mountain. The secluded Mr. Kuroda! Looking at the technique, as well as the shape and decoration, this pottery bowl fits the style of Mr. Kuroda!"

"Mr. Kuroda?"

I heard the surname suddenly mentioned by the other party. Lin Xiuyi couldn't help but feel overjoyed in his heart, but... his expression still seemed very calm.

"Hey, it's Mr. Kuroda. To be honest, he is indeed not a very famous potter. He has neither mentorship nor any works that have won awards, but... our Xun Art Museum was not originally designed for Those masters come to serve, so... there are many talented and unknown artists like Mr. Kuroda who like to store their works in our store for sale, which is the unique way of operating our Xun Art Museum..."

"Oh... so that's what it is! Then... you must know Mr. Kuroda too?"

"Uh... I'm ashamed to say that we and Kuroda have always been in touch by mail. Besides, if he has a good work that he wants to put on consignment with us, it is usually delivered by a transportation company. People sent the work here."

"You haven't seen the potter! I thought you must have seen him!"

"Hi...I'm ashamed~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Excuse me...do you have anything else?"

"Um... by the way? I want to know if this is usually the case, for example... is there an artist who used to consign goods from you and occasionally purchase some raw materials through you? For example... ... what kind of clay is needed to make pottery?"

"Ah... Speaking of this... There is really some clay in the warehouse that Mr. Kuroda asked us to keep for the time being..."

"Really?"

"Hey, it was originally supposed to be sent away by the people from the freight company last night, but... it seems that the parade last night went wrong for some reason, so... those clays are still with me for the time being!"

"Really? Excuse me... can you take me to see it?"

"Uh... guest, this... I'm afraid it's not very convenient!"

"That's right, I really caused you trouble, but... I'm really sorry, I'm actually the police officer in charge of investigating a case at the Shinjuku Central Office. I suspect that those temporarily stored in your warehouse may be some important physical evidence..."
