Chapter 1850 The Problem with Photos

Ganjiang Yi, that art dealer, this guy really won’t give up the various treasures hidden in this castle so easily...

At this moment, after realizing that the other movements came from Gan Jiangyi, Gao Yuan and others also understood the general reason——

After all, not only Gao Yuan, but also Xiao Ai, who had witnessed his actions in the castle today, and Kuroba Kaito, who was well-informed, knew that he was an unscrupulous person. is a shady dealer, so it can be seen that the sources of the fine arts he sells may not be clean.

Therefore, it is self-evident that this person will come here after everyone returns.

In this regard, facing this guy, Gao Yuan and others looked at each other and did not speak, because they did not intend to expose that they had actually sneaked into the castle, but for this guy, everyone seemed to unanimously feel that at least more Teach this guy a lesson, don't let him just steal things from the castle.

So, faced with this situation, everyone determined that Gan Jiang headed upstairs first after entering the castle. After Kuroba Kaito closed the door again, Gao Yuan could not help but analyze in a low voice:

"He should have gone to the lady's room upstairs and wanted to continue taking away the jewelry there, right?"

Because when he first came to the castle today, that guy secretly did this, but was locked up by the mechanism left by Mr. Kasaka Kiichi, and ultimately failed.

But at this moment, when he thought that there was no one in the castle, and after he knew the existence of the mechanism, it was obviously not impossible for him to take those things away.

Therefore, after Takato probably told Kuroba Kaito what Ganshou Yi had done in the castle, Kuroba Kaito seemed to understand a little, so he suggested:

"In that case, then use other mechanisms in this castle to trap him again, teach him a lesson, let him reflect here, and then inform the police."

"Notify the police?"

Hearing these words coming from Kuroba Kaito's mouth, Xiao Ai couldn't help but glance at Kuroba Kaito feeling a little strange because he knew his identity as Kaitou Kidd.

In this regard, Gao Yuan said:

"For a crime like invading a home with the intent to steal... I'm afraid the lessons will be limited, right?"

"So while he is trapped in the castle, let's check out his other crimes!"

Kuroba Kaito said this as if he had already had an idea.

In this way, seeing that Kuroba Kaito still had such thoughts, Gao Yuan thought that he might be interested in the artworks owned by this art dealer, so Gao Yuan didn't say anything -

Indeed, this is not a bad way.

After all, compared to the ending in the original work, where Gan Jiangyi was killed because he discovered something strange about Pu Si Qinglan, this is already a better ending for him.

In this regard, Gao Yuan had no objection, so he let Kuroba Kaito go out and began to use the existing mechanisms in the castle to teach Gan Jiang Yi a lesson——

Of course, I don’t plan to participate in the activity no matter how high it is.

After Kuroba Kaito discovered the pile of handwritten diaries and letters, Gao Yuan and Xiao Ai continued to check the things in the office, but in the end they found nothing in these books.

So, at the end, Gao Yuan once again focused his attention on the photo that seemed to be Karasuma Renye. After thinking for a while, Gao Yuan tried to take the photo off the wall and faced the old photo. After checking the entire frame of the photo, Gao Yuan didn't find anything strange, but he felt a little unwilling to do so——

Looking around at the photos hanging on the wall here, apart from the landscape photos, the photos related to portraits are basically photos of Kiichi Kasaka himself. In addition, they are photos of others, such as the photo of Rasputin. In this way, it can be seen that the era when the photo was taken should still be when the Tsar was in power. The person taking the photo with him can basically tell that he was a Russian aristocrat at that time.

However, this photo seems to contain Renya Karasuma...

Putting it in this pile of photos, now that Gao Yuan takes a closer look, it feels very strange.

I was able to notice this photo immediately. Apart from realizing that the person in the photo looked like Karasuma Renya, there seemed to be another reason...

By comparing the other portrait photos present, in addition to the identity of Renya Karasuma in these photos, there is another point -

Judging from the direction of Karasuma Renya's gaze in the photo, this photo does not seem to be a frontal shot looking at the camera.

Speaking of which, judging from the historical background, in that era, it took a long time for cameras to take photos. The reason was mainly due to the technical limitations of the time.

Early cameras used wet or dry plate photography. These photography methods required the use of large, bulky cameras and glass negatives, and had very high light requirements. Exposure times are long, sometimes taking several minutes or more, so the subject must remain still to avoid blurry photos. In addition, early photosensitive materials were relatively less sensitive to light, which also resulted in longer exposure times being required to capture images…

All in all, even now, more formal photos require the person being photographed to pose in front of the camera for a period of time, waiting for the photographer to snap the shot. In that era, the person being photographed would have to wait longer and maintain their posture for a longer time.

In this case, the subject would be asked by the photographer to pose properly. It is difficult for the subject to not look directly at the camera, and it is not an artistic photo.

Looking at the other portraits here, it is easy to find that in other portraits, the others are looking towards the camera with a proper posture, except...

But, what is the reason?

What I want to find is the evidence of the connection between Kosaka Kiichi and Karasuma Renya, and I am more like nitpicking...

In response, Gao Yuan shook his head and looked at the photo in his hand. Finally, he thought about it and wanted to take the photo out of the frame to take a look, but soon Gao Yuan found that the frame was sealed very well, and he had to pry open the nails on the back cover to take out the photo inside. This seemed a bit difficult here without tools, and even if it was opened, it would be a problem to restore it.

So, Gao Yuan thought about it and simply had a bolder idea-

Take this photo that seems to be Karasuma Renya away directly.

Using other photos in this office, he moved a photo of the same size that was more remote, and used it to replace the position of the photo of Karasuma Renya, and then found photos that were not hung in other rooms to replace the missing positions, so that the photos in the office temporarily looked fine.

In this way, Gao Yuan, who had done all this, followed Xiao Ai and Kuroba Kaito, and took away the things they found and left the castle together--

As for Qian Jiangyi, he had been trapped by the mechanism inside, and he could not escape by himself...

However, even so, when the three learned about the fire in the castle the next day, everything made the matter fall into a haze again.
