Ép. 4: Mitamura enquête sur une affaire de faux impliquant un tableau de Dürer et une carte de vœux de Hasegawa.

4

Fujita is arrested on suspicion of selling a fake Albrecht Dürer painting as real and so Mitamura is called as an expert witness and appraiser by the police. Although initially she believes the painting is a fake, a greeting card from Fujita with a copy of Kouhaku Hasegawa's ink painting Shourinzu Byoubu causes her to conduct further investigation and analysis. Finally, in court, she appraises the painting as a genuine Dürer, but possibly unfinished and signed with his unique monogram later after it was varnished. Fujita later meets Mitamura at Tokyo National Museum before the original six-panel painting of Shourinzu Byoubu and thanks her, although she still threatens to expose him as a charlatan.
