Chapter 426: Daughter's Day Doll 4

"I'm sorry, I've been weird since just now......"

The fat man Jinqu couldn't help but ask, "Who is this young man?" It always feels familiar......

The three next to him narrowed his eyes: "Could it be the famous city detective?" ”

"That's right!" Ayumi said a few boldly, "Brother Chenghu is a detective who can solve any incident, if you steal the scroll, admit it quickly!" ”

"Huh?" The fat man stammered profusely, "Just, even so, I really didn't steal the painting!" ”

"But only my uncle is the most suspicious, and there is no alibi!" Mitsuhiko's expression turned to Gao Cheng with certainty, "Right, Brother Joto? ”

The corners of Gao Cheng's mouth twitched slightly.

"Mr. Tsukomi is indeed the most suspicious person, but the culprit should not be him......"

"Huh? Isn't it? Mitsuhiko looked disappointed, "Who is it that stole the scroll?" ”

Gao Cheng looked at the silent old woman on the side, paused, and said under the gaze of everyone: "There are two doubts, although the living room and bedroom have been flipped, the position that has been turned over is not high, and it has not been moved if it is a little higher...... The other thing is this Daughter's Day doll. ”

"What's wrong with the doll?"

"Take a closer look, is there a change from the previous placement?"

Gao Cheng took the camera and brought up the photos he had taken earlier.

"The positions of the emperor and the empress are reversed, and the positions of the other 13 dolls are somewhat off......

"Really, really!" Ayumi leaned in front of the camera screen.

"So what?" Xiao Ai looked at the wall next to him where the scroll was originally hung, "Do you want to say that the prisoner accidentally touched the shelf and knocked the doll off when he took the scroll, and then put the doll wrong when he rearranged it?" ”

"I see!" Mitsuhiko said excitedly, "The prisoner is a person who doesn't know how to arrange dolls, so it's obvious that it's Mr. Tsuko, who said that he didn't have a daughter and was not interested in dolls......"

Gao Cheng said with a smile: "It's just the position of the emperor and the empress that is wrong, if you want to rearrange so many dolls in a few minutes, people who are not familiar with it can't do it at all...... In fact, the positions of the emperor and the empress are just different from before, and I don't know if there is a mistake or not, maybe it is a different way......

"Brother Joto is right," Conan interjected, "this should be the traditional way in Kyoto, right, old woman?" ”

The old man closed his eyes lightly: "There are indeed many people in Kyoto who are in this way......

The housewife looked at the old man worriedly: "Mom......"

"Hey," said the fat man in surprise, "could it be that the prisoner is really the old lady herself?" ”

"It's not a prisoner," Gao Cheng continued, "but it's the old woman who hides the scroll...... Mr. Mie is an expert and can see that these are Kyoto dolls, and obviously knows the traditional way, but he and Mrs. Kanno have seen Ayumi's way of posing, so there is no need to change it, and they don't have time to do these things, the only thing that can be done is the old woman who directs and acts herself......"

"Where the hell is the scroll?" Jinqu looked at the doll frame on the seven steps in a daze, "How could the old lady knock down this platform?" ”

Gao Cheng didn't answer directly: "Let's take these dolls away first...... The doll is not actually knocked over when she escapes, and the reason why the mother-in-law will rearrange the doll is to know when you lift the red felt......"

"It's ......"

After Jinqu helped to remove the doll and lifted the red carpet on the steps, they were all shocked by the scrolls that were spread out and hidden under the red carpet.

"I see, it's hard to see the painting without removing all the dolls...... How do you know? ”

"This is because the doll placed on the thin scroll wood is slightly tilted forward, and the thick scroll wood can be placed on top and covered with red felt, but the thin scroll wood is not......"

Gao Cheng looked at the old man silently: "But it's still hard to detect, my mother-in-law probably wants to wait for the police to come and search, and then secretly put it away while she is cleaning up the dolls." ”

"But," Kanno looked powerlessly at the hanging scrolls spread out on the shelf, "how could Mom do such a thing......

Jin Qu said: "Do you really want to pretend that the scroll was stolen and defraud the insurance money, old lady?" ”

"I'm not going to do that damned thing......

The old man was a little older, and quietly looked at the Thor hanging scroll: "Because this scroll is the patron saint of the Kanno family, I did this to hide it and wait for my son to come back and see it...... Kannoya can't repeat my past mistakes anymore......"

"Error?"

"Another Fengshen painting scroll in Mr. Jinqu's collection, which is actually the same as the Thor painting, was found in the warehouse of my husband's house, but when my son and his wife got married, they didn't have the money to buy a house, so I sold Fengshen and didn't tell my husband who was on a company trip......"

The old man said wistfully with his hands behind his back: "Who knew that the passenger ship that my husband was on sank, and the big typhoon they encountered was like a wind god blowing ......"

Jinqu's tongue trembled: "Then, that wind god is a cursed scroll?" ”

"What's the curse," the old man shook his head, "isn't it often like this?" The doll was placed next to the child's pillow to eliminate the doom of Zog's stand-in, and perhaps these two paintings also took the place of our Kannoya to bear the disaster that befell us...... So please don't interfere with this Thor painting, we won't sell it. ”

"Uh...... Haha," Jinqu waved his hand sweating profusely, "It's enough for me to have the wind god, just because I haven't said it......"

The old man let go of his worries when he heard this, glanced at the room silently, and turned to Gao Chengdao: "Detective Chenghu, I've caused you trouble, take me to the police station now......"

"What are you doing at the police station?" Gao Cheng shook his head and smiled, "Mother-in-law is just joking, and besides, I'm not a policeman, just a passerby detective who wants to drink some sweet wine...... After staying for so long, my stomach is hungry too. ”

The old man was stunned, and the folds on his face parted: "I'll cook for you right away." ”

……

At the staircase on the 6th floor, Xiao Ai hugged her arms, leaned lightly on the side like a little adult, and showed a sentimental smile on her face.

The sunset is facing the steps and the sunset can be seen through the floor-to-ceiling windows, and the houses and streets are dyed red, like a world of blood.

This sad color can be seen several times......

"Sometimes the sunset is beautiful, right?" Gao Cheng walked to the sunset and looked at the sky, "Xiao Ai, Ayumi didn't want those Daughter's Day dolls, or ......"

Xiao Ai turned his head away: "Don't, I'm not a child anymore." ”

Ayumi came over with a camera and Yuantai, and when she saw Gao Cheng and Xiao Ai standing in the sunset, she pursed her lips and greeted, "Brother Joto, Ashinohara-san, let's take a picture together." ”

"Here?"
