Traveling through the Republic of China to become a special agent, the system is very easy for me

Fu Quanan said:

“Team Leader Iwai is really thoughtful. Regarding Li Chengzong’s matter, I really didn’t expect that he would be such a person.

Such serious consequences were caused, and I almost died at his hands. I am responsible for not being careful in employing people, and I feel deeply guilty. "

After hearing this, Yuan Ye thought to himself that the tone of his voice was exactly like that of a victim, trying to reduce his own responsibility. At the same time, these words were also intended to test Iwai Yuichi's reaction. He was indeed a cunning old man.

Iwai Yuichi says:

"Mayor Fu, you don't have to feel too guilty about this matter. After the investigation team finishes its investigation, the public will have their own opinion."

On the surface, Iwai Yuichi's words seem to be meant to comfort Fu Quan'an, but the subtext is actually that he believes Fu Quan'an is responsible. As to how much responsibility he has, we have to wait until the investigation team reaches a conclusion.

Fu Quan'an could understand the meaning behind this and thought that it was the same as not saying anything, but he also saw Iwai Yuichi's attitude from it.

As Su Xiwu's backer, he naturally tends to be on Su Xiwu's side. How could he possibly absolve him of responsibility?

However, Fu Quan'an still wanted to give it a try. He knew that Iwai Yuichi loved ancient Chinese calligraphy and paintings, so he catered to his tastes and prepared two precious ancient calligraphy and paintings and placed them in his office. When Iwai Yuichi came, he would give them to him. He did not expect Iwai Yuichi to help him clear his responsibility, as long as he did not add insult to injury.

Fu Quanan said:

"Captain Iwai, since the work has been arranged, I think we should not disturb Section Chief Nagumo's investigation.

I would like to invite Team Leader Iwai to come sit in my office for a while. I recently acquired two paintings and calligraphy works by Tang Bohu. I don’t know if they are authentic, so I would like you to help me identify them.”

Iwai Yuichi became interested when he heard this and said:

"Okay, Tang Bohu's work is rare. I'd like to appreciate it."

He turned to Nanyun Masako and said:

"Ms. Masako, you should start your investigation right away."

He knew that Masako Nanyun was Kenji Doi's student and was very capable, so he was quite polite to her.

After Iwai Yuichi finished speaking, he followed Fu Quan'an to the mayor's office.

Fu Quan'an diligently made tea for Iwai Yuichi, then turned around and took out two scrolls from the closet in his office, spread them out and placed them on the table, smiling and saying:

"I've heard for a long time that Team Leader Iwai is a great calligrapher with a high level of appreciation. I think you can definitely tell the authenticity of these two Tang Bohu works!"

Iwai Yuichi felt very comfortable when he heard this, but he said:

"This is all false praise, but I have a lot of experience in identifying calligraphy and painting. I also have an authentic Tang Bohu painting in my collection, and I have studied it quite a bit.

There are many forgeries of Tang Bohu on the market now. I have summarized three points.

Tang Bohu's works have unique brushwork, free and easy brushstrokes, and varied brush strokes. They can be identified by observing the thickness of the brushstrokes, the direction of the brush, the depth of the ink, etc.

Moreover, the paper he uses is usually handmade paper with patterns and textures. Observing the texture, feel, color, etc. of the painting paper can also help distinguish the authenticity.

The most important thing is that his paintings are bright and vivid in tone, and the colors are also rich. You can judge the authenticity of the paintings by the use of colors and tones. "

When Iwai Yuichi got excited, he spoke incessantly and eloquently.

After Iwai Yuichi finished speaking, Fu Quan'an exclaimed:

"Team Leader Iwai is indeed a learned man. It seems that I have asked the right person. Please let your discerning eyes take a look at it."

Iwai Yu nodded slightly, stopped talking, and leaned over to appreciate the two works carefully.

The painting on the left is titled "Prostitutes in Wang Shu Palace". It uses traditional meticulous and colorful techniques to show the heavy makeup of the palace maids.

The folds of the clothes are drawn with fine, strong and smooth iron wire, and the clothes are painted in rich colors, making them look gorgeous and splendid. The palace prostitutes competing with each other in dressing up and competing for green and red are portrayed vividly and meticulously.

After reading it, Iwai Yuichi confirmed that it was undoubtedly Tang Bohu's authentic work. He secretly sighed that it was indeed an excellent work of Tang Yin's paintings of ladies.

On the right is a running script work titled "Wumen Summer Vacation Poetry Scroll". Iwai Yuichi could tell at a glance that this was a running script work from Tang Bohu's artistic peak period.

It is smooth, fresh and elegant, with even white space throughout the whole painting. The dots and strokes are just right, handsome, straight, flexible and vigorous. The strokes are free and skillful, with different sizes and thicknesses intersecting.

Iwai Yuichi couldn't let it go and kept his eyes on the work. Fu Quan'an saw it and naturally understood what was going on.

He smiled and said:

"Team Leader Iwai, it seems that these two works are authentic works of Tang Bohu."

Iwai Yuichi then withdrew his gaze from the two scrolls and sighed:

"This is not only an authentic work, but also a masterpiece from Tang Bohu's mature artistic period.

Its artistic level is higher than a painting by Tang Bohu in my collection."

He then said curiously:

"Mayor Fu, you have a good eye. You actually have two excellent works by Tang Bohu. That's not easy."

Fu Quan'an smiled and waved his hand:

"No, no, how can I have such good taste? This was given to me by someone else. I don't even know if it's real or not."

He changed the subject and said:

“Captain Iwai, you are a man with vision. I think it’s a waste for a rough man like me to have these two things.

If you don't mind, I would like to give it to you. You are the one who truly deserves these two things."

Iwai Yuichi's eyes lit up, and he was overjoyed, but he said modestly:

"How can I steal such a good thing?"

Fu Quan'an saw it all and said:

"I don't know how to appreciate it, Captain Iwai, please don't refuse."

Iwai Yuichi laughed and said:

"Then I would be disrespectful."

By this time, Fu Quan'an had already put away the two scrolls and placed them next to Iwai Yuichi.

Then he said:

"Captain Iwai, I have something I want to talk to you about."

Iwai Yuichi thought, he gave me something, so he really wants something from me.

"Mayor Fu, just tell me what you want to say."

Fu Quanan said:

"I was lucky enough to escape with my life in the city government assassination case. I have been recuperating at home these days, so I have had the chance to calm down and think about how to strike back at the Shancheng government.

I have decided to attack the Shancheng government's jurisdiction in the concession, and I intend to negotiate with the concession to take back the police power in the area where the road is built across the border and crack down on the anti-Japanese elements hiding there. I need support from Japan. I think you will definitely help me. "

Iwai Yu nodded slightly and said:

"Mayor Fu, the fact that you can think this way shows your loyalty to the Empire of Japan. Don't worry, I will definitely support you."
