Ke Xue Bartender

Chapter 132 Knight of Justice?

There is a description of the painting below.

The title of the painting is "Divine Punishment".

Lin Ye left Miyano Shiho, walked to the old man, and looked at the paintings with him.

The old man's eyes were focused on the devil in the painting, but Lin Ye was looking at the knight stained in blood.

"The knight killed the demon, but he himself was also contaminated by the demon's blood. The fall of the righteous knight will eventually bring punishment from heaven."

The old man shuddered all over, then turned his head and looked at Lin Ye curiously.

Seeing that it was a young man in his twenties, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Then he laughed.

"The young man has a good eye. He can see the true meaning of this painting."

Lin Ye smiled and asked, "Is the old man a staff member here?"

"My name is Ochiai, and I'm the director of this art museum."

"It turns out to be Mr. Curator," Lin Ye asked in surprise, "Do you like this painting very much?"

Director Ochiai nodded.

"Not only this painting, but all the works in this museum are sacred to me."

"But I heard that the art gallery seems to be demolished."

The old man sighed slightly.

"Yes."

There was a hint of coldness in his narrowed eyes.

[The devil in the real world intends to destroy this sacred art museum for his own selfish interests]

[In order to protect this art museum, he must be eliminated]

Lin Ye felt the firm murderous intent.

But can we protect the art museum by killing Boss Manaka?

Even if Manaka died, the reconstruction plan was stopped.

But can an art museum that has experienced supernatural rumors and murders really continue to operate?

"Director Ochiai, do you think the bloodstained knight will regret it?"

Director Ochiai shifted his gaze from the blood-spurting demon to the blood-stained knight.

"No. You will regret it if you do nothing while watching the devil wreaking havoc."

Lin Ye sighed inwardly, it seemed that Director Ochiai did not kill on impulse, but was mentally prepared for everything.

I'm afraid he won't feel any regret even if he's caught by the police.

"Has the curator heard about the rumor?"

"what?"

"A nocturnal knight."

Director Ochiai laughed and said, "Actually, a batch of artworks were stolen from the museum recently. Maybe the thief sneaked into the museum at night and deliberately acted mysteriously in order to scare off the guards."

[Humph, that bastard Kubota secretly sold off the art in the museum. Did he think I didn’t know?]

[After killing the demon Shinaka, he was framed for the murder and made to reflect on his actions in jail]

[Haha, I have made a careful plan...]

Lin Ye frowned.

Old director, this is a bit unfair. If an employee makes a mistake, you can punish him according to the rules and regulations, such as fining him or firing him.

It would be too much to let him take the blame for your murder.

That's not chivalrous.

He thought that the old director would confess his crime after killing Manaka.

It turned out that he had already thought of a way to escape punishment.

If the curator had the courage to take responsibility and face the divine punishment like the knight in the painting, he would still respect him.

But now it seems that the curator is not a true knight, and is merely controlled by his own desires and anger.

Boss Manaka's selfish desire is money, while the selfish desire that deceived Director Ochiai is this art museum.

The owner spent real money to buy the art museum, without stealing or robbing, so he has the legal right to control it.

How can handling one's own property legally turn one into a demon? When Director Ochiai regarded Boss Manaka as a demon and wanted to kill him as soon as possible, the real demon had already appeared in his heart.

Old director, you have taken the wrong path!

Lin Ye decided to help this lost old lamb.

"Mr. Director, in fact, the citizens have a lot of feelings for the art museum that has existed for 50 years. If we unite their voices, perhaps things can be turned around."

"Oh?" The old curator turned around and said, "You mean to borrow public opinion?"

"Yes, I heard that the new owner plans to turn this place into a hotel. If the public's demand for preserving the art gallery is high and the hotel is still forced to be renovated, it will not be welcomed by the public even if it is built. How long can an unpopular hotel last? I'm sure he will consider this carefully."

Director Ochiai sighed and said, "I have thought of this idea before, and asked a few old friends who work in newspapers to publish an article calling for the preservation of the art museum.

But before public opinion could ferment, the boss of Manaka, who got the news, gave the newspaper a sum of money, and the newspaper refused to do relevant reports. "

[Humph, these money-hungry media]

Lin Ye grinned, indeed he was an old fox in the business world.

Boss Manaka has managed to stay standing despite the economic downturn, so he must be quite capable. The honest Director Ochiai is naturally no match for him.

But Boss Manaka never expected that the honest man would get angry and blood would splatter five steps away.

No matter how big a business executive you are, your neck is still made of flesh.

When people are killed, they die.

No matter who you are, everyone is equal in the face of death.

"Mr. Director, try again, maybe I can help you." Lin Ye said with an idea in mind.

"Young man, who are you?" Director Ochiai opened his narrowed eyes a little and looked at Lin Ye carefully.

[Is this young man the heir of a large company? Or the son of a politician? He doesn’t look like one based on his appearance.]

Lin Ye smiled slightly and introduced himself:

"Polo Bar, bartender, Lin Ye."

"Oh, I saw your name in the newspaper a few days ago. I heard that you are a very good bartender."

[But I'm a bartender, how can I help you? Encourage the customers in the bar? ]

Lin Ye smiled and said, "Actually, I know two friends in the news industry who may be able to help a little."

The people Lin Ye thought of were Mizunashi Rena and Kira Himekage.

Rena Mizunoshi is a well-known host. If she is willing to speak out, it will definitely be effective.

He still had Rena Mizunashi's phone number saved in his phone, but he had never called it once.

This time I just asked her for help.

His experience in judging people told him that she would help.

Not to mention Kirara Himekage, if you just shake hands with her, she will definitely agree.

When Director Ochiai heard that Lin Ye knew someone in the journalism industry, his eyes lit up and he seemed to see hope.

If there was any other choice, he would not choose to kill.

"Young man, are you really willing to help?"

"Well, I also hope that this art museum can be preserved. I think there are many citizens in Beika Town who share the same idea as me."

"Then I'll leave it to you, young man, no, Mr. Lin!"

Director Ochiai bent down excitedly and bowed deeply to Lin Ye.

"Mr. Director, this is not necessary."

Lin Ye quickly helped Director Ochiai up.

"I can't guarantee 100% success. The final result will still depend on how loud the citizens' voices are."

Director Ochiai said with tears in his eyes: "If the public's voice is not loud enough, it means that the art museum is no longer important in people's hearts. I accept being replaced."

Very good, that's the right way to think about it.

Lin Ye patted his shoulder with satisfaction and said, "Trust the citizens of Beihua Town!"

Director Ochiai nodded with tears in his eyes, and hope flickered in his eyes.

Looking at the old and the young, especially Lin Ye's figure, Miyano Shiho's eyes became a little strange.

[What a strange guy...like an old man]
